Marvel
It’s only a short jump away to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but Marvel has released one last trailer highlighting all the multiversal shenanigans in store for audiences.
Speaking of trailers, the long awaited first teaser trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder also arrived this month, showing off an armoured Natalie Portman wielding Mjolinir as the Mighty Thor.
Another Disney+ series just around the corner, Ms. Marvel‘s new teaser dropped, with the series due for release on June 6.
DC
It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like season three of the animated Harley Quinn series won’t be too far off now. Showrunner Patrick Schumacker recently took to Twitter to drop a hint about when the third season will finally hit screens in the US.
I do know the release date, but I’m not allowed to tell. It is going to be in the time of year that rhymes with “schmummer.”
