In response, the lone bulwark against them, the isolated nation of Wakanda, will send forth its champion…its king…the Black Panther! From the creative minds of Bryan Hill (BLADE, KILLMONGER) and Stefano Caselli (X-MEN RED, AVENGERS) comes a bold new take on the world of Black Panther and Wakanda!”

- John Constantine, Hellblazer might be dead however, he is getting a new series from Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell. Spurrier said, “Hellblazer is back. Between 2019 and 2021, Aaron Campbell and I chronicled John Constantine’s sly progress through London. For 13 issues, the book dripped with heart and hate and rage — rage at the state of the world, rage at the state of our minds and lives. Those 13 issues were our poisonous love letter to the Constantines of the past — [Alan] Moore’s, [Jamie] Delano’s, [Garth] Ennis’s. It was the best work we’ve ever done. And then it stopped. On a note of death and despair, with — like all magic — a heavy price levied. And now it’s back. Because the cost doesn’t count if we don’t get to see it being paid. Because even dead things can make a difference.”
Movies
- Five Nights At Freddy’s director Emma Tammi teased the fans regarding an unrevealed character. “There’s one character that we have not yet revealed in any of the teasers or trailers. So that’s something to look forward to.” Fan theories already point to The Marionette, The Puppet, or Balloon Boy, with several fans guessing the reveal could come in a post-credits tease for Five Nights at Freddy 2.
- When asked what would it take for King of Monsters, John Carpenter to make a Godzilla movie, the filmmaker answered, “And offer.”
- Matthew Vaughn revealed a few news at his panel, including a third Kingsman movie and a reboot of Kick-Ass, both being shot in 2024. “Kick-Ass kind of changed people’s perception of what a superhero film is, at that time, so we’re doing it again. It’s none of the characters from the other [Kick-Ass]]; we’d like to bring them back after the reboot, but this reboot is going off on a tangent I really can’t talk about now,” he teased.
