Marvel-liefhebbers hebben veel om naar uit te kijken in 2026, te beginnen met de terugkeer van Daredevil: Born Again voor zijn tweede seizoen. Hoewel Jon Bernthal’s Punisher de laatste run van de serie met Charlie Cox en Vincent D’Onofrio oversloeg, dook hij snel weer op in een standalone Disney+-special getiteld The Punisher: One Last Kill die nu wereldwijd beschikbaar is. Bernthal zal het personage deze zomer terugbrengen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, een film die dient als directe brug naar Avengers: Doomsday later dit jaar.

Several familiar faces from the original X-Men films are confirmed for the upcoming Avengers movie, including Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, James Marsden as Cyclops, and Ian McKellen as Magneto. Marvel Studios is not stopping there and has outlined broader plans for mutant characters beyond that single crossover event.

Insomniac Games Readies Extended Look at Marvel’s Wolverine

Closer on the horizon is Marvel’s Wolverine, the AAA action game developed by Insomniac Games, the studio behind the acclaimed Spider-Man titles. The first trailer debuted last year and showcased classic mutants including Mystique and Omega Red. Insomniac has now locked in a September 15 release date, with the title arriving exclusively on PlayStation 5.

PlayStation confirmed a State of Play presentation for June 2 that will feature a longer look at the game. Liam McIntyre has been cast as the voice and motion-capture performer for Wolverine, marking a notable shift from Hugh Jackman’s long-standing portrayal in live-action projects.

Fans Await More Mutant Surprises This Fall

With story specifics still tightly guarded, the upcoming State of Play promises to deliver the next wave of concrete information. The game’s September launch positions it as one of the most anticipated Marvel video game releases in recent years, offering players a chance to step into Logan’s world well before the big-screen X-Men revival reaches theaters.
