Coyote vs. Acme director Dave Green confirmed to IGN that the film is coming to Blu-ray, along with some hilarious outtakes that he described as “not PG-rated.”

We got the chance to chat with Green, as well as Coyote vs. Acme star Lana Condor, at San Diego Comic-Con, where the two gushed about the hilarious moments that happened when John Cena and Will Forte were on set interacting with the Looney Tunes.

“John is an amazing improviser,” Green said. “The camera would keep rolling and he would just love to entertain a room of background actors and make everyone laugh. When you don’t call ‘cut,’ there is minutes and minutes of stuff that is not PG-Rated.”

“Maybe for the Blu-ray,” IGN host Tom Jorgensen replied. “Fingers crossed!”

“I can actually make you that promise,” Green answered. “It’ll be on there.”

In an age where physical media is gradually being phased out in favor of digital downloads, the idea of owning a tangible object that you can play or watch without an internet connection is becoming more and more coveted.

Perhaps the greatest example of this is Sony’s decision to stop printing physical game discs starting January 2028 — a choice that has left the gaming community in disarray, scrambling to get their hands on PlayStation’s final physical releases before the cutoff date.

While some big releases are confirmed for a full physical release, others, like the highly anticipated GTA 6, will have a digital download only (though you can still buy the box that the code comes in, if that counts).

Coyote vs. Acme releases in theaters on August 28, 2026 — a welcome development after it was notably shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023 for a $30 billion tax write-off. Now audiences can see the movie in its entirety, along with a few R-rated special features when it comes to Blu-ray.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves co-director Jonathan Goldstein says the script for a sequel already exists, but he's not expecting it to see the light of day any time soon.

The filmmaker behind the 2023 D&D adaptation gave fans an unfortunate update when speaking with ScreenRant at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2026. Fans praised the original movie for how it faithfully brought the classic tabletop roleplaying game to the big screen, but it doesn't sound like its favorable reception from critics and audiences will do much to bring a sequel to life.

"We actually wrote a sequel to Dungeons and Dragons," Goldstein said. "We were hired to write it. I don't know that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons. They're expensive movies to make, but it'd be great fun to do it. We love that cast, and we think we wrote something that fans would like."

Those "financial reasons" he mentioned are probably a reference to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' box office returns. Despite rolling into its opening weekend as the number one movie in theaters domestically, its final global total saw it bring in just $205.46 million (via Box Office Mojo). It’s a respectable enough finish on its own, but considering Variety reported the film cost $150 million before factoring in marketing costs, things could have gone much, much better for the D&D movie.

Still, the fact a sequel script was written suggests someone at Paramount was interested in keeping the story going at some point. The original film – which starred Chris Pine (Edgin), Michelle Rodriguez (Holga), Justice Smith (Simon), Sophia Lillis (Doric), Hugh Grant (Forge), and Regé-Jean Page (Xenk) – has certainly managed to garner a group of die-hard fans since its premiere.

Its Rotten Tomatoes scores, for example, sit at 91% from critics and 92% from fans. IGN gave the film a 7/10 review, calling it an "accessible fantasy adventure that both roasts and respects D&D culture without losing newcomers along for the ride."

With a script on the table and Paramount going through its own changes every day, it's unclear if Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves sequel will ever come to be. Former Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins had previously stated he would be interested in doing a second movie, but only if it could be made "for less." Pine, meanwhile, said in 2023 that he was "pretty confident" it would happen eventually.

We’re finally here! San Diego Comic-Con 2026 will soon have its big Marvel moment, and IGN will be in the front row reporting live from Marvel Studios' Hall H panel. The action kicks off at 5.30pm PT / 8.30pm ET / 1.30am, July 26 UK time. So be sure to check back here for all the announcements, trailer information, and anything else the Marvel Cinematic Universe has up its sleeve for fans.

So, what should we expect? Well, Avengers: Doomsday is out this December, and we just got its first proper trailer. So I’m sure we’ll get plenty of Doomsday talk from Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and perhaps some (or maybe even many!) of its stars. Maybe we’ll get some casting announcements — could there be room in Doomsday for even more characters? We will hopefully see new footage. Maybe we’ll even get a tease for next year’s Secret Wars.

The big hope is that Marvel Studios does its big timeline of releases thing, and outlines the future of the MCU beyond Secret Wars. We know that Feige plans for a reset moment — although he insists it’s not a reboot. Could we get an announcement for the first post-Secret Wars movie?

This week, Feige said Marvel had mapped out its movie plans up to 2042, and he hinted at a "streamlined, simplified" universe post-Avengers: Secret Wars, a big push for the new X-Men, and plans to eventually unveil a live-action Miles Morales. Surely it's time to get a better idea of how it will all work, and if so, maybe tonight's the night.

We’ll find out more in just a few hours.

IDW recently launched the IDW Dark line, which focuses on publishing new horror comics built around both original ideas and established film properties. Of these books, writer Christian Ward's Event Horizon books have arguably been the breakout hits. They prove just how hungry Event Horizon fans are for new tales set in this cosmic horror universe.

Today at Comic-Con, IDW revealed the third and final chapter in Ward's trilogy of Event Horizon follow-ups. The saga that began in 2025's Event Horizon: Dark Descent and is currently continuing in Event Horizon: Inferno will conclude in a new limited series called Event Horizon: Pandemonium. What's more, this third volume has easily the best elevator pitch of them all. We've already experienced the Hell of this terrifying universe. But what if Heaven also existed, and were somehow even worse?

Event Horizon: Pandemonium is written by Ward and features art by Hernán González (John Carpenter’s Tales for a Halloween Night). Ward also draws the cover art.

IGN was able to speak to Ward at SDCC to learn more about this new series and how Pandemonium was always the endgame of his Event Horizon plans. As he explains, he was laying the groundwork for Pandemonium even in Dark Descent.

"My view was, I need to introduce something that answers some questions, but opens up a lot more," Ward tells IGN. "And by doing that, once I did that, it exploded the law. Okay, well then what is the journey? Are we going to do Dark Descent, which is what happened to the ship [before the film]? But then what happened after the ship? And then where do we go from there? So when I put the pitch in of what I wanted for Dark Descent, there was an appendix that suggested, where would we go? And that's what we're doing. We're following that roadmap. It's been really satisfying."

Again, Pandemonium has a very evocative premise in a franchise that's already built around a strong fundamental idea. In the original film, humanity's discovery of faster-than-light travel literally tears open the barriers between our reality and a Lovecraftian Hell dimension. But Pandemonium posits that this universe also has its own version of Heaven, and it's one that's somehow even worse than Hell. Ward reveals that he was inspired by Biblical descriptions of angels and God for his depiction of this realm.

"Heaven is worse. Heaven is definitely worse," Ward teases. "So yeah, basically it was the whole thing. The thing that is my Event Horizon, my rules that I've set in place is this idea of older news. All the horror is based around lots of really old Biblical notions of Heaven and Hell. So it was about then, and if you look at a Biblically accurate description of an angel, it is terrifying. Terrifying."

Ward continues, "So it wasn't hard to then go, OK, but I'm treating Heaven as a kind of alien place, a place where humans really shouldn't be. It's more of a place of it's alien - it's overwhelmingly cosmic horror. So I'm really kind of leaning into that and I'm kind of connecting it with the threads that I've kind of been laying with Inferno, with Dark Descent. But it's very much going back to kind of Biblically accurate and going, OK, but that's scary. And even if you look at some of the descriptions of God, he's described as you cannot look at his face."

Obviously, with Event Horizon: Inferno still in progress, Ward can only reveal so much about how the series ends and sets the stage for Pandemonium. But he does tease that issue #4 (due out August 5) is a watershed moment for the series.

"Issue #4, which we're getting close to now, is the one that's the real swing," Ward says. "Because I think what's really interesting about the Event Horizon film is straight off the bat, we're talking about the ship being alive. Yeah. The ship's alive. So if the ship's alive, then it's a character. And Dark Descent was very much about really the origin of how is the ship alive. And so we're going to kind of circle back to that quite a lot and deal with that. But as far as issue #5 goes, I mean, I would say all hell hits that fan. I said right from the get-go that this was my Aliens to Alien."

Finally, Ward teases that the artwork in Pandemonium is going to be a major departure from what fans have seen in the previous two books, describing it as another "big swing" that takes the series in some surprising visual and narrative directions.

"When people see the first page of Volume 3, Issue #1, they are going to be surprised," Ward promises. "I love that. Because we're not going to be in a place you expect. We're going to open in 17th century London. What? And the first character we see will be a Sir Isaac Newton. Wow. Because as you know, he's very much associated with a little thing called gravity. I don't know whether Dr. Ware would've been the first one to have created the Gravity Drive. Maybe. Maybe there might have been somebody before that that had a go with it. Who knows?"

Event Horizon: Pandemonium #1 will be released in December 2026, with a final order cutoff of October 19. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.

Hold on to your hats, Marvel fans, because Avengers: Doomsday is fast approaching. Now that we’ve seen our first look at Robert Downey, Jr’s Doctor Doom in action in the recent trailer, we know that Marvel is sticking fairly close to the source material for Victor von Doom’s outfit. The Fantastic Four and Avengers nemesis has one of the most iconic supervillain costumes in all of superhero fiction, so it’d be a mistake to reinvent the wheel here. Thankfully, the metal mask, green hood, and flowing cape gives the MCU’s Doom a regal attire worthy of Jack Kirby’s original design for the character.

Now that we have images of the costume on display at SDCC, let’s take a closer look at how Doctor Doom’s MCU costume compares to the comics.

The Man in the Iron Mask

If there’s one aspect of Doctor Doom’s look that simply must be preserved, it’s his signature iron mask. Not only is it his most recognizable visual trait, it’s a critical part of his character. Victor von Doom is one of the most arrogant and egotistical men on the planet, and the damage he incurred to his face because of a botched experiment in college that he blames Reed Richards for is the origin point for their rivalry. How damaged Doom’s face actually is varies by interpretation (Jack Kirby famously believed that Doom only had a small scar), but any imperfection is too much for Doom, who hides his visage behind the metal mask.

As we can see from this comparison between the source material and the MCU costume, Marvel has replicated the design from the comics pretty closely. The shape and texture work is excellent, and the look of the nose and mouth areas hearken back to classic images of Doom from the source material. Also preserved is the green hood over the top of his mask, which is another one of his signature flourishes. An early look at Doom’s costume from the Disney Marketing Expo in Shanghai appeared darker and more washed out, but thankfully that seems to have been the lighting, with the costume on display making it clear that the hood is green.

Stickler for Details

Doom’s comic costume is elegant in its simplicity, but the MCU version has its own take on many of the details. Typically, Doom’s chest area is just covered by a green tunic connected to the hood, laid over his armor and fastened with a brown belt with gold buckle. Those aspects are maintained but with some color variation (looks like a black belt with silver buckle in the film), but the bigger change to the chest area is the addition of what seems to be a samurai-inspired chest plate.

I’m not certain if this was a direct inspiration, but it reminds me of the upgraded armor Doom wore in the 1984 Secret Wars comic after he stole the Beyonder’s power (pictured on the far right above). We also want to point out the gold rondels affixed near the shoulders, which while typically just flat circles in the comics, here have some additional patterning that may be important. The symbols could be mystic runes, which would make sense given that Doom’s mother was a witch and he possesses magic powers in the comics.

We see similar runes on Doom’s gloves, which also have a key difference from the comics. The actual hand portion of the glove in the film version is made of leather instead of full metal gauntlets, which makes sense to let RDJ or his stunt doubles actually grab objects comfortably. There’s also a matching adjustment to the legs, where we see dark green pants on Doom’s upper legs, and the metal portions of his boots only start around the knee area. Again, this change was likely made to make the costume easier to wear on set, since a full metal bodysuit isn’t entirely practical. Still, the overall look feels like classic Doom even with these changes.

How Does the MCU Doom’s Costume Compare to Fox’s Versions?

Looking at the costume on display, it’s clear that Marvel Studios has learned some lessons from 20th Century Fox’s interpretations of Doctor Doom. While the late Julian McMahon’s costumes weren’t terrible, and they did get the mask right, the overall look in the first Tim Story film ultimately felt a bit cheap since he had business wear instead of armor, and the costume in Rise of the Silver Surfer was basically all black instead of green. Worse, the design from the 2015 reboot left poor Toby Kebbell saddled with one of the worst supervillain looks in all of comic book movies: an astronaut suit warped by green energy and grey sludge, making him look like a possessed crash-test dummy. It’s nowhere near what anyone wanted out of the lord of Latveria on the big screen.

It's a shame that most cosplay from fans has so far been better than Hollywood's takes on Doom before now, but we're finally seeing this rectified by the MCU. We can’t say how Doomsday will depict Doom’s personality yet, but at least in terms of visuals, Marvel Studios is on the right track. We’ll see how RDJ’s Doom fares when Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters in December.

There’s a lot going on, as usual, at San Diego Comic-Con. But in between all the noise and fury of the panels, announcements, and exclusives, there’s a mystery brewing: what the heck is up with those Latverian Witch costumes at the Marvel booth, and what do they mean for Avengers: Doomsday?

Look, there’s every chance that by tonight when Marvel takes over Hall H for their much hyped panel, we’ll have an answer to this question. But to take it back for some context, if you are reading this at home, or perhaps got lost in San Diego somewhere between the Rick and Morty activation and getting trained up to become a Green Lantern, here’s what’s been going down over the past few days.

Who do you think the Latverian Witches are in ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’? pic.twitter.com/YGf5IEjCCE

— Avengers Updates (@AvengersUpdated) July 24, 2026

Starting on Preview Night on Wednesday (July 22), Marvel revealed a fun surprise at their booth: costumes from the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Those include a battle-worn Cyclops (James Marsden), a Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), a costume for Thor (Chris Hemsworth) which looks remarkably okay given he’s gone axe to pointer finger with Doctor Doom (Robert Downey, Jr.), Sam Wilson/Captain America (Anthony Mackie), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), and Gambit (Channing Tatum).

But in the midst of these costumes, all of which represent characters we saw in the recently released Avengers: Doomsday trailer, was one big head-scratcher: a Latverian Witch. What’s a Latverian Witch? Great question, we don’t really know. Or rather, we’ve got a slew of theories, and they’re based on the fact that not only is there a Latverian Witch in the movie… There are (as of this writing) at least three of them.

That’s because on Wednesday, the Latverian Witch costume was green. The next day, Thursday (July 23) it was yellow (or orange), with a different belt buckle and one chain hanging from its (her?) neck, instead of three, like the previous day. And on Friday (July 24) the costume changed again, to purple. Chances are it will change again (or has changed again depending on when you’re reading this), and we’ve got a pretty good idea what color(s) it may change to on Saturday and Sunday.

But let’s get into this a little further, because there are at least two big things you may be able to pick out from these seemingly innocuous costumes.

The first, and perhaps least spicy bit of info? It’s clear that Doctor Doom has some lieutenants working for or with him in some capacity. Just like Thanos with the Black Order, you need some sort of sub-bosses before everyone teams up to take out the main boss. And while it’s possible that Doom may be employing Doombots a la the comics, or perhaps just taking everyone down all by himself, the introduction of these Latverian Witches seems to imply there’s a coven of magic users working for him. It’s also not unimportant to mention that employing Witches – unless there’s a weird twist here and they’re working against him – means Doom is using magic, perhaps in addition to science. This is true to the comics, where he employs a mix of both; so likely merely by having a “Latverian Witch” costume at San Diego Comic-Con, we’ve got confirmation of magic Doom.

…That’s not what you’re curious about though, right? You want to know who the Latverian Witches are? And the thing is, there’s every chance they may in fact be characters we already know.

So, as you may be aware, Doomsday is packed to the brim with characters already, from the Fantastic Four and Wakandans to the X-Men and Thunderbolts* (*New Avengers). We’ve got Talokans, Asgardians, and even a bunch of children and Ant-Men wandering around. Given the multiversal cataclysm we’re likely getting in the movie, this makes a lot of sense. But what the presence of these Latverian Witches at SDCC pre-suppose is: what if there are even more characters?

One reason for thinking this? The costumes are masked, and hands covered, same as Doctor Doom. Since we have yet to discover why Doom has the same face as our beloved Tony Stark in the movie, is it possible that the Latverian Witch masks are also hiding other familiar faces behind their metal facades? And if so, who might they be?

The colors, let’s be honest, are a pretty good indicator. To work backwards here, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) is intimately associated with purple, so if these LWs (Latverian Witches) are indeed recognizable characters, it’s more than likely the purple one is Agatha. Before we get too far, the follow up question here is: which Witch is which? Meaning, is this the Agatha Harkness of the MCU, who was last seen as a ghost hanging out with Wiccan (Joe Locke) in Agatha All Along? Likely not, and since we don’t know what universe Doom is from, though he’s likely hailing from Earth-828, home of the Fantastic Four, this could be that universe’s version of Agatha. It also could be a neat bit of connection, as in the Marvel Comics Agatha was sometimes baby-sitter for Franklin, Sue and Reed’s (Pedro Pascal) kid, who Doom shows a ton of interest in during the Fantastic Four: First Steps post-credits scene. Alternatively, this could be Clea (Charlize Theron), who was only briefly seen in the end credits to Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, as she is a magic user and also wears purple.

To jump back to the first costume, the green Witch has a different costume than the other two that have been shown off as of this writing… She has three chains, as mentioned, and a belt buckle, which seems to imply she’s in charge. At first glance, the buckle might look in the same vein as the Eye of Agamotto, the mystical relic Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) uses, which could indicate perhaps the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton). Alternately? Another character who uses magic and is tied to the color green is Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), the female variant of Loki. If this is Sylvie, well, she was left in Loki Season 2 not knowing what she was going to do next, and seemingly able to traverse timelines. So this seems like a likelier suspect than the Ancient One, and it merely could be Sylvie finding a new purpose helping Doom. Though there is one other possibility: Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza), aka the Green Witch from Agatha All Along, aka Death. Rio seems a little less likely just because she’s, you know, the avatar of Death, so what is she doing working for Doom? But hey, the color scheme works.

Let’s go to the head-scratcher, the yellow LW. Or orange LW – it’s hard to tell with the lighting. Turning to Agatha’s coven from Agatha All Along, Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn) uses orange magic, while Lilia Calderu (Patti Lupone) uses yellow magic. Nothing against either actress, particularly the legendary Patti Lupone, but if these Witches are surprise characters it might make less of an impact for general audiences if they’re all Agatha’s coven, versus an array of faces from various properties (meaning Sylvie, Agatha, etc.). So if it’s not Alice of Lilia, then who? Again, we could go back to the Ancient One, who used orange magic courtesy of the Sling Ring.

…But there’s one more aspect of this we need to discuss that perhaps points to a completely different way this color scheme could work: they’re all Infinity Stones.

What do we mean by “they’re all Infinity Stones”? Merely that the colors of the Latverian Witches, thus far, match the colors of Time (green), Power (purple), and Soul (orange)... Unless it’s yellow for the Mind Stone, but can we just say orange, jeez louise. Point being, there are three more colors to go, and two days left of Comic-Con (again, as of this writing). We’ve got Blue for the Mind Stone, and Red for the Reality Stone. As established in both Loki and What If…? the Infinity Stones exist in every universe. That means they exist in the Fantastic Four’s universe as well, and assuming Doctor Doom is from there, is it possible that he gave one Infinity Stone to each of his six Witches (or one to each of his five Witches, and kept one for himself)? Sure! Maybe!

Whatever is going on with this color scheme, it matches the color of the Infinity Stones, and given you’ve got the Russos – the guys who directed Infinity War and Endgame – at the helm of Doomsday, that doesn’t seem to be a coincidence.

Okay, fine, there actually is one more thing we need to discuss, since it seems more than likely there are at least two more colors to go, and more than likely one of those colors is red. Aka, scarlet. So if there are Latverian Witches, and one is a scarlet Witch… Is it THE Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen)? When last we saw our Wanda Maximoff, she was being crushed by Mount Wundagore, with Doctor Strange pretty conclusively saying that she died. But death is just a temporary reprieve in the MCU. There could be an alternate Wanda, or Wanda could have been snatched out of the timestream by Doom – or Loki? – moments before death. And even if it’s just a moment at the end of Doomsday, it seems like an enormous missed opportunity, if you do have a masked, red Witch for it to not be Wanda. To take it further, if Marvel puts a masked, red Witch in their movie, and it’s not Wanda, Marvel fans in movie theaters are going to make the Battle of New York look like a minor scuffle.

So will Marvel really bring back Wanda, and create a whole coven of witches working for Doom that are surprise guest stars to be revealed on screen? Will those witches also have Infinity Stones, and be the key to perhaps allowing Doom to create Battleworld in Secret Wars? Or maybe these are just fun costumes from one scene in the movie that Marvel thought would look nice at their booth. Either way, we’ll likely know more once Kevin Feige and company take the stage in Hall H. Until then? We can hold out hope that a couple of potentially randomly colored costumes mean Wanda Maximoff is coming back to us.

The Schwartz was stronger than ever in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con. A packed room of thousands of fans cheering on the panel for a sequel nearly 40 years in the making, Spaceballs: The New One.

Rick Moranis' presence was an understandable major deal for the audience, with the comedy legend making his long-awaited return to the screen as he reprises his role as the villain Dark Helmet. Moderator Kevin Smith introduced Moranis with what turned into an elaborate bit where he failed to walk on stage, only for some costumed Spaceball soldiers "combing the crowd" (giant comb included, naturally) to find him. When Moranis actually did take the stage, he got a massive standing ovation.

Not there in person was another legend, original Spaceballs writer and director Mel Brooks, with the 100 year old (!) sending a very funny video, in which he cracked jokes like, “Sorry I can’t be there! I’m on convention floor trying to buy a rare Charizard card!” and "When I was your age, on a Friday, I’d go to something called 'work.'"

Brooks' age came up when discussing him reprising his role as Yogurt. In the original film, Brooks wore elaborate makeup, but Brooks told director Josh Greenbaum and writers Josh Gad (who also produced), Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit that while he was excited to participate, he couldn't do the makeup anymore. Instead, Yogurt will now be a digital character, with Brooks providing the voice. Greenbaum laughed about how Brooks had dots on his face at his first voice recording sessions for the mocap team to use as reference points, only for Brooks to declare "I don’t need the dots.” Greenbaum got the OK from the VFX supervisors to proceed without them.

It was Gad who got the ball rolling on Spaceballs returning inspired to do so after he and Moranis were going to make a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids follow-up that never came to be. He pitched his idea to Brooks, who was excited by it. Gad said he felt the time was right for a Spaceballs sequel because it can comment on how we are living in an age of nostalgia and how there is now so much more Star Wars to parody when the first Spaceballs only had the original trilogy as its basis.

Gad apologized that even though this is a parody of Star Wars, they still were keeping actual secrets like a Star Wars movie, including details on new characters played by Keke Palmer and Gad (though Lewis Pullman is confirmed to play Starburst, the son of Bill Pullman's Lone Star and Daphne Zuniga's Queen Vespa). Gad said he wanted Spaceballs: The New One to be a love letter to someone who sat alongside Moranis on Gad's personal comedy Mount Rushmore, the late John Candy. Gad stressed he was not playing Candy's character, Barf, but is playing another Mawg, Barf's alien species. Gad also promised an that there will be an acknowledgement in the film to other original Spaceballs cast members who have passed away, including Joan Rivers, Dick Van Patten and Dom DeLuise.

The panel ended with a montage of footage from the film that was a slightly re-edited version of the footage first shown at the Amazon AMC CinemaCon panel in April. Some of the gags from that earlier version — such as a Harry Potter parody moment — were removed, but there were also new bits, like Dark Helmet proclaiming "Somehow I've returned... somehow!" We also see a Doctor Strange-style portal open, glimpses of Palmer's character Destiny sporting a decidedly Rey-influenced look, and many other rapid-fire gags, including Yogurt getting hit by a freeze blast and someone proclaiming, "Frozen Yogurt!" It was all backed by a choir singing the Spaceballs theme song from the original film.

The Spaceballs panel was also notable for being one of the rare Hall H panels to use the special side screens, usually saved for would-be epic event movies that want to make a visual impact. This made it all the funnier when the filmmakers did a mock Spaceballs Cinematic Universe slate reveal that included dozens of titles that spanned 11 phases with titles like 2 Space 2 Balls, Pizza the Hutt: Cheesy Does It, Spaceballs vs. Spaceballs vs. Spaceballs, The Space and The Balls, Spaceballs: The Lawsuit, Spaceballs: Enough is Enough, and Spaceballs: Enough is Never Enough.

Moranis said it was the right time for him to return in Spaceballs: The New One, noting he had a terrific time making it. "I was in that outfit and I was in the helmet and it felt really strange and it started to feel really good and I started to love it," he said about being on set again. "And who knows? Maybe it’s the beginning of many." (Just probably not 11 phases worth...)

At San Diego Comic-Con, director Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille) revealed more about his newest animated film, Ray Gunn, and debuting the opening seven minutes of the upcoming Netflix release.

Bird was the subject of a spotlight My Cinematic Journey SDCC panel in Hall H, hosted by Collider EIC Steven Weintraub. Bird recounted how his elevator pitch for the film was "Buck Rogers meets The Maltese Falcon," describing it as a film about "desperate characters in an alternate future."

The opening scenes give us a look at the film's setting, a futuristic city filled with giant, brilliantly lit towers and flying cars, but with an art deco/1930s vibe to it. It's like if Coruscant was mashed together with Batman: The Animated Series' Gotham City. We see flying cars with art deco design elements, and businessmen in suit and ties taking off into the air on jet packs, while holding old school briefcases by the handle. Jetpacks are omnipresent, including on construction workers, who use them to float about the building they're working on.

"It's Buck Rogers meets The Maltese Falcon."

The brunt of the footage focused on the lanky, one-eyed green alien known as Eyera (voiced by Tom Waits) paying someone off to get a janitor's uniform to sneak into an office where it's revealed his trash can actually contains the title character, Ray Gunn himself (Sam Rockwell). There are shadows aplenty in the noir-infused visuals of the square-jawed, sardonic hero Ray and his pal Eyera searching for secret files, only for a competing duo of aliens showing up to find them as well... and for all four to be interrupted by the large, hulking female alien whose office they're breaking into.

It turns out this lady and Ray know each other, as her four extra arms are revealed during a furious fight that culminates in Ray saving himself by using a freeze ray device in her office to form solid ice around her head. But when Eyera tries to get them to run out of there before the cops arrive, Ray proves he's got a good heart by not letting her suffocate, insisting they stay to smash open the ice first. It takes a bunch of very funny Looney Tunes-style bashes of her head back and forth to crack it open properly.

As he had when he spoke to IGN recently, Bird reiterated the very long journey to get Ray Gunn made, noting it had taken 30 years. "I would have happily made it a long time ago, but you need someone to pay for it," Bird quipped. "I always liked it and always thought it would be a good movie."

Bird stressed the importance of fully building out the film's setting, Metropia, noting the movie takes place nearly entirely in this city, which he described as "sci-fi but very urban." Bird and his animators worked to pack the frames with details. "You can let your eye drift and there will be something for it," he said.

Ray Gunn is scored by Michael Giacchino, who has scored all of Bird's movies since The Incredibles. Giachinno made a surprise appearance at the panel, noting he mixed many elements into the music, saying it included "'50s sci-fi, '30s and '40s noir, some slight jazz.”

He said that his big concern was that the score didn't sound like The Incredibles, but stressed that he loves working with Bird because the director likes to switch things up "and takes a hard left turn with his stuff."

Added Giachinno, "At its core, [Ray Gunn has] a very emotional score but it has a lot of action, a lot of fun, and hopefully is its own thing."

Ray Gunn debuts on Netflix on December 18, 2026.

Chuck Russell, the director behind movies like The Mask and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, has died at 74.

The filmmaker behind some of the most memorable movies of the '80s, '90s, and 2000s unexpectedly passed away at his San Diego-area home Wednesday, July 22, 2026, his family told TMZ. Details regarding his death were not immediately made clear, though the site said that the local fire department was dispatched to his home Wednesday afternoon "following a report of a medical emergency involving an unconscious male."

Russell, born in May 1958, made his directing debut with 1987's A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. It brought an impactful start to his career as a director and was immediately followed by his The Blob remake in 1988.

Russell then went on to team with Jim Carrey to deliver quintessential '90s film The Mask in 1994. In 1996 and 2000, he released Eraser and Bless the Child, respectively, and in 2002, helped bring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to the big screen with The Scorpion King.

Russell's career as a director then slowed down in the 2000s, with his next project, Fringe, arriving six years later in 2010, and I Am Wrath then premiering in 2016. The final three films he directed were Junglee (2019), Paradise City (2022), and Witchboard (2024).

Russell's The Mask earned an Oscar nomination at the 67th Academy Awards in 1995. Fans of his work have already taken to social media to share their condolences with his family and fond memories of his work.

At San Diego Comic-Con Thursday, The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol director Brad Bird revealed he's looking to turn his long-in-development project about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake into a miniseries.

This project goes way back for Bird, with the first reports that he was considering making it as a feature film dating back to 2007. It was meant to be his live-action debut, but never came to be, with Bird instead making Ghost Protocol.

Bird dismissed what he referred to as "BS stories online" at the time that the movie version was halted because of budget concerns. Instead, he said, it simply was a situation of not being able to figure out how to fit everything he wanted to into one film.

As Bird explained, when he began to research the 1906 quake, "the deeper I dug, the more stuff [I'd find]." At a certain point, he felt like he was cutting too much, which is why a miniseries would be a natural fit. Though he cautioned it would indeed need a large budget because "it has to be big like a movie.”

Bird's comments about the project were made during the Brad Bird: My Cinematic Journey panel at SDCC, hosted by Collider EIC Steven Weintraub. When Weintraub asked how Bird envisions the miniseries, he remarked, "It’s probably like eight episodes. But it has the greatest build ever. It’s not just the earthquake, it’s the fire after earthquake."

He went on to note that the fire that followed the earthquake was fed by giant winds that "got to be like gale force."

Understandably, much of the panel was focused on Bird's next project, the animated movie Ray Gunn releasing on Netflix this fall. Incredibles 3 was also mentioned, with longtime Bird collaborator, composer Michael Giachinno (who also scored Spider-Man: Brand New Day), making a surprise appearance. Bird reiterated that he is not directing Incredibles 3 — Pete Sohn (Elemental) will direct — but he is co-writing (alongside Dana Murray) and producing the project.

As for Giachinno's involvement, when the composer coyly asked who's doing the score, Bird joked, "the ghost of Jerry Goldsmith” before deadpanning: “We’ll talk about it." That's probably a confirmation Giachinno will indeed return for the next installment of the Incredibles franchise.

Bird also mentioned a bit about another project he has in development — one that could potentially happen before the 1906 miniseries. Bird didn't want to reveal many details, but said it was a film he'd direct. “It’s live-action, but there’s animation in it.”

It's been well over a decade since Disney acquired Lucasfilm Ltd. And while they wasted no time in taking advantage of the Star Wars franchise on the publishing side, they've been strangely reticent to focus on Indiana Jones. Even when Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny hit theaters in 2023, there was no new Indiana Jones comic to be had. But there's finally some good news on that front, as Marvel has revealed a new Indiana Jones comic launching in December 2026.

The news broke during the Lucasfilm Publishing panel at SDCC 2026. The new series in question is called Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium. This five-issue limited series is a direct follow-up to the original Raiders of the Lost Ark movie.

Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium is written by Jason Aaron, who previously helmed Marvel's 2015 Star Wars series. The book is illustrated by Aaron Kuder (Daredevil), and the first issue features cover art by Kuder, Bryan Hitch, and Alex Ross.

Here's the official description for Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium #1:

In the wake of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy’s most notorious villains, including the impossible return of an archenemy, seek a terrifying new source of power to recoup their loss—one that’s fallen into the hands of his former companion, Marion Ravenwood. Now, Indiana Jones has to race to the far corners of the globe in search of a biblical weapon, embarking on an epic quest that will put both his archeology skills and skepticism of the supernatural to the ultimate test!

This new series looks to be the first step in Marvel's larger plans for the Indy franchise, with the solicitation teasing that the book is "Kicking off a new era of Marvel Comics Indiana Jones Storytelling."

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is joining the Criterion Collection this year, and preorders are officially live for the film's stunning physical release (I mean, look at that cover) on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD.

Its release is still a few months away - perfectly slotted in Halloween season on October 27 - but preorders like these can sell out fast. So if you're a big fan of the film and are dying to have this excellent edition in your physical media library, this is the time to grab it.

Preorder Frankenstein – The Criterion Collection

Frankenstein The Criterion Collection Bonus Features

• 4K digital master of the theatrical version of the film
• 4K digital master of Frankenstein: The Reborn Cut, a new 158-minute extended director’s cut of the film
• New audio commentary on The Reborn Cut, featuring director Guillermo del Toro
• The Anatomy Lesson: Director’s Cut, a new documentary on the making of the film
• The Parlour, a collection of conversations on craft featuring del Toro; actors Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Oscar Isaac; cinematographer Dan Laustsen; production designer Tamara Deverell; costume designer Kate Hawley; and creature designer Mike Hill
• Q&As moderated by filmmaker Martin Scorsese and musician Patti Smith
• Interview with composer Alexandre Desplat conducted by film-music scholar Jon Burlingame
• Trailer
• English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audio
• PLUS: An essay by scholar and author Christopher Frayling

While these bonus features are pretty much the same across 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD, there are a couple minor differences worth mentioning. The first is that, with the 4K and Blu-ray, you'll get the Dolby Atmos soundtracks for the theatrical and extended director's cut of the film. The second is that the 4K comes with two 4K UHD discs of the films presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the films and special features, but other than that, everything else is the same.

If you're curious what we thought about Frankenstein when it was originally released, IGN's Scott Collura called it "a crowning achievement for the beloved genre director and one of the most effective adaptations of the Mary Shelley story ever put to film" in his review. If you agree with that, don't miss out on this chance to own its fantastic physical Criterion Collection release.

If you thought the new Resident Evil movie trailer would be safe from the PlayStation physical disc controversy, think again.

The latest teaser video for director Zach Cregger's live-action Resident Evil adaptation was immediately flooded with negative comments published on the PlayStation YouTube channel yesterday. It's the latest example in the weeks of outrage that have followed Sony's decision to kill support for physical discs in 2028.

While most gamers have directed the backlash to gaming-related announcements, Resident Evil's status as a film doesn't seem to have deterred angry fans hoping to make their voices heard. Of the 1,800 comments left below the PlayStation upload for the trailer, most of the "Top" messages reference the controversy in one way or another. Some are more clever than others.

"I cannot wait to get the physical version of this," one fan, echoing the comments left on other PlayStation videos, said.

"He’s transporting the last physical game copy in existence," another joked.

"Leon…. Where are the Physical Discs?" someone else said.

PlayStation social media accounts have served as a hub for fans to voice their…feelings about Sony's physical strategy since the company made its initial announcement July 1, 2026. The move will see it cease production for new physical video games starting January 2028, meaning titles launched after the cutoff date will be completely restricted to a digital release. Players, especially those who have spent the last 50ish years collecting and trading physical versions of games, aren't happy, to say the least.

After a short social media hiatus, PlayStation returned to X/Twitter and was immediately swarmed by angry comments. Every post since then has faced a similar level of backlash, with the outrage spreading to other sites, too. The Marvel's Wolverine game is the latest example of a game trailer to be flooded by those calling for change.

It's not too surprising to see the PlayStation upload for the Resident Evil trailer filled with comments. While the vast majority of the backlash seems to have stuck to PlayStation channels, even other comment sections aren't free from references to physical game discs.

"I cant wait for the physical edition!" one viewer replied on the Sony Pictures version of the video.

The Resident Evil movie is only the latest to fall victim to the controversy, but it's not the first time it's found itself in the line of fire. Longtime fans were disappointed to see Cregger had taken some creative liberties when it comes to the Raccoon City Incident when they laid eyes on its first teaser in April, for example.

Johnny Depp has returned to the Hollywood limelight with a surprise appearance at San Diego Comic-Con in character as Ebenezer Scrooge.

The Pirates of the Caribbean and Edward Scissorhands star greeted fans in full costume and makeup as the Dickensian antihero, who he'll play in this year's star-studded Christmas movie Ebenezer — a project widely seen as Depp's big Hollywood comeback.

Ebenezer will also feature Ian McKellen, Daisy Ridley, Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough and Tramell Tillman in a new twist on the beloved Christmas tale, though all eyes will be on Depp in its starring role — his first major Hollywood part in nearly a decade, following the widely-publicized legal troubles with ex-wife Amber Heard.

This week has seen fans given their best look yet at Depp as Scrooge, via a new trailer (above) and a couple of in-person appearances at Comic-Con. Depp appeared at a pop-up recreation of his house, chatting away with onlookers and eventually dropping the character's signature catchphrase of "humbug" to cheers (you can see this in the video below). The actor then popped up unexpectedly during the event's Directors on Directing panel to reveal Ebenezer's trailer to the audience.

After years focusing on smaller projects and international films, the path now seems to be opening up for Depp to make a career comeback — though a question mark still hangs over whether he will ever resume his most iconic role: Pirates of the Caribbean's Captain Jack Sparrow.

Disney has long had plans to continue its buccaneer movie franchise, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer has talked positively of wanting Depp back. Speaking last year, Bruckheimer confirmed "some" previous Pirates of the Caribbean actors would return for the next movie, while offering "a new take" on the franchise overall.

Whether this actually happens, however, remains to be seen — though a positive response to Ebenezer when it arrives this November 13 may change that.

Tom Holland has teased a return of the Venom Symbiote, as the hours count down to the launch of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Asked by a young fan if Holland's Spider-Man would ever encounter the Symbiote, Holland said he couldn't answer the question directly — but added that the moment would come "one day, I'm sure."

"We'll get to see the Symbiote," Holland continued, in a moment posted to Instagram by cinempolismx.

Could the Symbiote appear in Brand New Day? It's a question that fans have been debating ever since the movie's first trailer showed Holland's webslinger emerging from a sticky cocoon, with mention that he was undergoing some form of transformation.

Remember, of course, that Spider-Man: No Way Home concluded with a brief shot of the Symbiote — or a part of it — being left behind in the MCU following that film's various multiversal shenanigans. The possibility is certainly there for more from the Symbiote, and many fans see Holland donning a black Symbiote suit as inevitable before he ends his run.

With Brand New Day already stuffed full of foes, the only question seems to be when the Symbiote storyline will be adapted. Could Holland be infected at the end of Brand New Day, with the transformation happening off-screen — potentially explaining his absence in this year's Avengers: Doomsday? That could leave him ready and powered-up to make a triumphant return in 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars.

Alternatively, the widely-expected future films in Holland's second trilogy of Spider-Man movies could center on the Symbiote — perhaps changing Peter Parker's personality just as his identity is restored in the memories of best pal Ned and ex-girlfriend MJ. Let's just hope this incarnation of Peter Parker leaves the dance moves at home, though.

With previews early next week and its official July 31 release date fast approaching, Holland is currently in the middle of a whirlwind Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour, and proving as chatty as ever. Yesterday, Holland raised eyebrows by flatly denying Jean Grey was in the movie — despite huge speculation that this is who Sadie Sink is playing. The actor has also teased that the movie's title will be explained in its final frame (intriguing!), revealed that "one person" still remembers Peter Parker is Spider-Man (Sadie Sink?) and discussing his potential involvement in the upcoming Avengers movies — which he strongly suggested he will feature in.

Weapons and upcoming Resident Evil director Zach Cregger gave an update on the status of his Aunt Gladys prequel film at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday afternoon.

"First of all, I'm really excited about the Gladys movie. I loved working with Amy [Madigan], I love that character," Cregger said. "For the movie Weapons, it really made a lot of sense not to dive into her backstory because the device of Weapons was to keep her very opaque and very mysterious. However, I think there's an amazing story to be told about where Gladys comes from and how she became what we know her as. It's got a lot of twists and turns and mysteries and crazy things, kind of like Weapons does, and I think it's gonna be great. The script is in process now and we're taking it very seriously and it's moving in the right direction. It's being written, is the short answer."

An appetite for an Aunt Gladys prequel film gained traction barely a week after Weapons first came out in August 2025. The writer and director confirmed in September 2025 that the development talks with Warner Bros., which distributed Weapons, were "not bullshit." In April 2026 — not long after Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Gladys at the Oscars — the trades reported that Zach Shields (Godzilla: King of the Monsters), would be joining Cregger as co-writer on the script. The working title is currently, simply, Gladys.

Despite the active work on the Weapons prequel, Cregger said that it will not be his next film — that will be sci-fi thriller The Flood, produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, which already has a release date slated for August 11, 2028. Gladys will come after that. Meanwhile, he's also producing a Siren Head film in the creepypasta horror space.

The Resident Evil director shared the panel stage with directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley — who shared directing duties on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Game Night, and are helming Apple TV's upcoming Mayday, starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branaugh.

Speaking of Resident Evil, the director talked about his all-out approach in telling a "straightforward" story. "I wanted to see if I could put my foot all the way down on the gas pedal and not let up until the end of the movie," he said. "That was the challenge: Can I just be completely unrelenting? You guys will tell me if that's the case."

Cregger will be passing through IGN's studio at Comic-Con, along with Resident Evil star Austin Abrams, to talk about the upcoming film, which premieres September 18. Fans were stoked to learn a few weeks ago that the runtime would barely crack 90 minutes.

While showing off an early concept photo of the aged-up Team Avatar at a San Diego Comic-Con panel on Thursday afternoon, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender director Lauren Montgomery recalled one of the films' earliest leaks in a rollout that's been plagued by unfortunate leaks. The image in question was what Montgomery called the "Avengers shot," with the characters posing together that leaked out of CinemaCon in 2024 before it was taken down.

"This was one of the very first funny stories about this image. We had a version of this image, exact same painting. The characters looked a little bit different," Montgomery said. "Our production designer Jake [Panian] was never really happy with it. And then Paramount comes to us and says, ‘We want to go to CinemaCon.’ Jake is, like, ‘Absolutely not. It's gonna leak.’ They're like, ‘No, no, no, no. It won't leak. Everything's safe.’
Everything leaks. [Jake]'s like, 'Well, if they're gonna leak it, I'm gonna repaint the whole thing.' And he did. And it looks beautiful, and it looks amazing, and we've used this image a lot of times. And of course, it leaked. Cell phone camera footage of it from a weird angle. And then it's used as, like, official artwork in freakin’ interviews and posts everywhere. So, good time."

Moving on from the anecdote, Montgomery walked through a slideshow of early character design concept art. She showed an Aang with a chinstrap-style beard, many iterations of Zuko's hairstyle, multiple versions of Sokka ("The note was alsays don’t let 'Sokka get TOO hot,'" Montgomery said), Toph in a "metalbending police get-up," and a pregnant Katara. "We moved away from that for our own reasons but a lot of those versions influenced the final version of Katara we see in the film," Montgomery said.

In mapping out how the team would then animate these rendered images for the feature film, Avatar co-creator Bryan Konietzko reflected on maintaining the importance of Avatar's defining animation style in the same panel that was attended by his fellow Avatar creator Mike DiMartino and most of the core voice cast of the movie. “One of the first things that we talked about was what the medium was going to be. No one told us, but we just assumed: It's a feature film. There's incredible stuff, like Spider-Verse, Arcane… people are doing really stylized, beautiful things with 3D characters that are kind of pushed more towards to 3D. So we just assumed initially, 'Oh, I guess that's what we'll do.’ And we started trying to figure out what that would look like.

"But then one day it just hit me," Konietzko continued. "I was like, ‘What are we doing? This is Avatar. This is a love letter to Japanese anime. This needs to stay 2D. These characters need to be hand drawn.’

Our friends and peers in the industry — in the Western industry, especially — they want to do 2D, but they're being forced to do 3D. And again, there's beautiful stuff being done in 3D, but as artists, we should be able to explore all these different mediums. Mike and I were just like, 'You know what? We're gonna do 2D,' and luckily, our bosses were not forcing us to do 3D. So that's what we did. We're trying to keep this art form alive a little bit longer.”

Creating a New Langauge System

Konietzko also walked through the process of creating a new written language for the universe moving forward, called Avatarian.

“When we came back to do Avatar studios, we were working with our cultural consultants," Konietzko said. "Now that we had more time and resources for some projects, we had some discussions and realized doing the traditional thing we've been doing, where we're using Chinese as the rhythm language for the Avatar world. That was great, and we love that stuff, but it didn't make as much sense with all the kind of real-world cultures that we pull from for inspiration in Avatar. So I was like, ‘All right, I'm going to create a written language for Avatar.’ 


"So I just locked myself in my office for like three months. But I never like in fantasy stuff when the fantasy language just looks like English in cosplay, you know? It just looks like the Roman alphabet in cosplay. I was really inspired by Hangul, which I had studied when I was working on Avatar in Korea.
I built this language that it's a phonetic language that — if anything can be expressed with IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet, it can be translated to Avatarian, and it creates these little syllable blocks, kind of Hangul. And then I use, like, these really simplified four element symbols as our kind of base radicals for the language.“

Other Avatar Aang reveals from the SDCC panel:

• The first trailer for Avatar: Seven Havens, a 26-episode 2D animated series about a new, post-Korra earthbending Avatar, along with an October 9 release date on Paramount+.

• Tagah, the new airbender introduced in the film voiced by Dave Bautista, will be an upcoming playable character in Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, which we gave an 8.
• The movie's soundtrack will be available to stream on July 25. It's the first time Avatar music is available the same day the project comes out, DiMartino noted, and teased a physical media release down the line.
• Speaking of physical media, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is getting an art book packed with behind-the-scenes details. It will be available in November.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender comes out on Parmount+ Saturday, July 25. We gave it an 8, calling it a "lovingly crafted and gorgeously animated movie" with "action scenes and settings [that] are thrilling and deserved to be seen on the big screen instead of streaming after a scuttled theatrical release and unfortunate leak changed plans that would have made this more of an event for fans."

Spoilers follow for all 10 episodes of King of the Hill Season 15, streaming now on Hulu, below.

A new season of King of the Hill just dropped, and the fresh batch of episodes continues the show’s tradition of combining slice-of-life stories with wit, charm, and lots and lots of propane. Now, the cast and showrunner of the long-running animated comedy are spilling secrets about Season 15’s final episode, which includes major character moments and an extended flashback to the years we missed between the original series finale and now.

Season 15 of King of the Hill marks the second full season of the show’s revival, which takes place eight years after the events of the original run. In the season finale, titled “Propane Recall,” Hank is pulled back into the propane (and propane accessories) game after several former Strickland Propane colleagues plead for his help.

I spoke with Showrunner and Executive Producer Saladin Patterson, along with cast members Kathy Najimy, Toby Huss, Stephen Root, Pamela Adlon, Lauren Tom, and Ashley Gardner ahead of the Season 15 premiere to break down the finale. Patterson says that, although “Propane Recall” - which explores Hank’s quitting Strickland Propane five years prior and his decision to take a job and move to Saudi Arabia with Peggy - felt like a natural season-ending episode, it didn’t start out that way.

"We broke that episode, probably [in the middle of] the season,” Patterson says. “And then when it came together, we were like, 'It kind of feels like a season finale.' And that's what led us to just put it at the end."

Patterson says that although the episode ends with a major development in which Hank buys 51% of Strickland Propane from his old boss Buck and thus gets a long-sought promotion after years of being Assistant Manager, the storyline wasn’t something they had necessarily been holding back since reviving the show.

“It's not something we had planned from the beginning of Season 14,” Patterson says. “It kind of came up organically. So Season 15 was a lot about exploring where [the characters] are in life now."

One of the biggest revelations of “Propane Recall” is that Bobby (Adlon) goes to live with Lucky and Luanne (Tom Petty and Brittany Murphy) when Hank and Peggy move to Saudi Arabia. Patterson says the moment was a way to honor the legacy of Petty and Murphy, who both passed away after the show’s original run.

“That's been very tricky for us to navigate in terms of going forward,” Patterson says. “We want [those] characters to still be a part of the world, but so much of why people want to revisit those characters has to do with how they were portrayed. So we're just not guaranteed to be able to recapture that.

"It felt like, okay, at least for now in this moment, not knowing about the future, this feels like a satisfying way to give a wink and nod and homage to Lucky and Luanne in a way that's organic to the story. They're the ones that took care of Bobby. That felt good to say.”

For her part, Adlon says that the flashback portion of “Propane Recall,” where we see most of the characters drawn in the way they were in the original series (save Bobby who’s dyed his hair blue), was one of her favorite parts of the season.

“That’s candy for us,” Adlon says. “Because it’s wildly creative. It's like when Hank is watching the home movies of Bobby and Connie. That is what makes the show so human. And then you get to add memories that you've never seen before in previous seasons. And that's what a life is. That's what a whole life is with a family.”

Stephen Root, who plays Hank’s sad-sack neighbor and friend Bill Dauterive, agrees.

“It's like looking at home movies for real-life people,” Root says. “You went, 'Oh, I remember when I was like that. I would never wear that now.' It's like seeing physical representations of your memories. And I think that was a brilliant idea to get back to us as we were.”

For their part, Kathy Najimy (Peggy Hill), Ashley Gardner (Nancy Gribble) and Lauren Tom (Minh and Connie Souphanousinphone) say the finale flashback was indicative of the skill that goes into making the show.

"I think it was so much fun,” Najimy says. “Because the thing about the writers is that they really respect all of the changes, the aging, the not aging, but it doesn't become about that. It's just what it is."

"I heard that's what it's like when you die, you get your life flashed before you,” Tom adds. “Like the ending of Six Feet Under where you get to see what happens. I love the progression of that. Very cool and well done.”

"I loved it,” Gardner says. “It was just so [wonderful] watching all the passage of time in that quick way. [That] was just ingenious to me.”

Key to the “Propane Recall” flashback is the reappearance of secondary characters who we haven’t seen since last season or, in some cases, the show originally went off the air. One of those is Hank’s old boss Buck Strickland, who passed over Hank for a promotion in favor of his incompetent son, setting the episode’s plot in motion.

“As an actor, it's fantastic to be able to bring another guy that you knew so well for 13 seasons and to play something completely different than Bill,” Root says. “It is a joy as an actor to be able to go into that character again and know this is one of the characters that ain't going to change. He's all about himself.”

Toby Huss, who took over the role of Hank’s conspiracy theorist neighbor Dale Gribble when original voice actor Johnny Hardwick died in 2023 and also voices many other characters on the series, was also excited to take a stroll down memory lane with fan-favorites that we haven’t seen since King of the Hill’s initial run - including Hank’s drawling former colleague Joe Jack and propane nemesis M.F. Thatherton.

“I love that dude,” Huss says of Joe Jack. “When [they created him], there was some guy that I had [known] when I was a kid in Iowa that was just a slow talking-dude. And then with the twist of calling everyone honey and sweetheart and sugar. Everybody has that guy in their lives that is that friend of their dad's or works with their dad or mom. And Thatherton's just a goofball. It’s always fun to do any of these characters again, man.”

As “Propane Recall” closes, we see Hank take control of Strickland Propane in a moment that was nearly 20 years in the making. Patterson says that the twist sets up new plotlines and conflicts for Season 16, which has already been confirmed, and beyond.

“Hank is the owner, but remember he's only 51%,” Patterson says. “Which means Buck is still 49% owner, which means he's still involved. Hank clearly has been prepared for this, but Buck's a different personality. And being a boss is different from what Hank is used to. And sometimes there's some traits that you need as a boss that Hank may not have that Buck does".

Patterson says that the show won’t stray too far from its roots when King of the Hill returns in 2027, but that doesn’t mean the characters won’t continue to progress.

"It's not going back and retreading what they did so well in the original,” Patterson says. “Hank is a new person, a different person. He's the boss now, and that’s a unique challenge.”

Supergirl debuts in North America on Digital on July 28, after a disappointing run in theaters that saw just $121 million made at the global box office.

On July 28, Supergirl will be available at home on participating digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango, and more. The DC Universe movie then launches on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 8.

Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El, followed last year’s DCU kickstarter Superman, but failed to generate anywhere near as much interest from cinemagoers. It was deemed a box office bomb when it debuted to a global total of $68 million following its June 26 premiere. The Warner Bros. superhero movie reportedly had a $170 million production budget and $120 million marketing budget, suggesting the studio would need around $300 million just to break even. Supergirl didn’t come close to that milestone.

"While Supergirl didn’t meet our box office expectations," DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran told The New York Times following Supergirl's opening weekend, "it’s just one component of a broader, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain confident in."

To that end, Lanterns is set to premiere on HBO Max in August, Clayface comes out in October, then Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow hits theaters in 2027.

Alcock will play a significant role in Man of Tomorrow and beyond, DC Studios has said. Supergirl takes place after the events of Superman and sees her encounter other galactic characters like Lobo, played by Jason Momoa. As for Man of Tomorrow, all we really know about the movie is that Superman and supervillain Lex Luthor have to work together to combat the threat of Brainiac. But we can also expect to see the main cast from Superman return. With Supergirl’s involvement, could we see the Justice League finally take shape?

For more, you can check out IGN's 6/10 Supergirl review. You can also read about some behind-the-scenes details that suggest creative differences between DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn and director Craig Gillespie impacted the final product.
