Daredevil: Born Again may not even have hit our screens yet, but it's already looking positive for the show's second season. Filming has already begun and in a recent interview with Marvel's Head of TV Brad Winderbaum, it seems we could be getting it next year.
Asked by Screen Rant if the hope is for the Marvel show to become an annual release, he said: "That is the plan. Season 2 will come out next year, and then hopefully season 3 and season infinity after that. I think this world is extremely rich, and there are many stories to be told on the streets of New York."
Daredevil: Born Again was originally planned to have 18 episodes in total when it was first announced, but following a creative rehaul mid-shoot, this got split into two seasons. Currently, a third season hasn't been announced, but it seems Winderbaum is hopeful.
He added: "It's certainly something very fundamental to Marvel, going back to the earliest days of publishing with Stan and Jack and Steve and the original Marvel bullpen. It's New York through New York, and the fact that we're able to shoot here and tell a story about New York made by New Yorkers is just fundamental to the series."
The first season begins on March 4 on Disney Plus and brings back several of the main cast of the Netflix show. Among them are Vincent D'Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, and Jon Bernthal who will be joined by newcomers Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, and Wilson Bethel.
The series follows Matt Murdock as he's forced to confront his past as Daredevil when former crime boss Wilson Fisk begins his campaign to become the mayor of New York City.

'The Last of Us' co-creator reacts to fans angry over Pedro Pascal's shocking exit: 'He's in literally everything else'

Pedro Pascal may have been brutally dispatched from The Last of Us, but at least he's, in the words of series co-creator Craig Mazin, "in literally everything else." "He did a thing. Everyone lost their s---, and then I had to do that same thing, because he did the thing, I loved doing the thing, I thought it was great," Mazin told Variety during Thursday's "A Night in the Writers' Room" event in Los Angeles. Though Mazin and co-creator Neil Druckmann were simply following the story set forth in the video game The Last of Us is based on, fans were still shocked by the death of Pascal's series lead Joel in the second episode of the second season. That shock has transformed for some into anger, which has given voice to ample criticism. "The big complaint that I've gotten is, 'Why did you kill Pedro Pascal?' And I keep explaining, we didn't kill him! He's a man, he's alive. He's fine. And he's in literally everything else. So I don't know what the problem is!" Mazin joked. Fans aren't the only ones still reeling from having to watch Joel die at the hands of Kaitlyn Dever's Abby. Pascal himself told Entertainment Weekly in April that he's in "active denial" about his own character's fate. "I realize this more and more as I get older, I find myself slipping into denial that anything is over. I know that I'm forever bonded to so many members of the experience and just have to see them under different circumstances, but never will under the circumstances of playing Joel on The Last of Us," Pascal said. "And, no, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it because it makes me sad." The Chile-born actor's sister, Lux, also said in May that she "wanted to throw the iPad" when she got to the scene depicting Joel's death. Lux joked that it's "not the first time he's done it to me, it's not the second time he's done it to me. I think it's the fourth time he's done it to me. Because how many deaths has he had? Game of Thrones, Equalizer 2, The Last of Us — each is more violent than the other.... Seeing my brother die that way, I didn't like it at all." Some of the "everything else" Mazin referred to include Ari Aster's film Eddington (releasing July 18), which Pascal was recently seen in Cannes promoting at the seaside town's illustrious annual film festival. He can be seen Friday in theaters in Celine Song's Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans rom-com Materialists, and he also stars as Reed Richards in July 23 Marvel release The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a character he'll reprise for Avengers: Doomsday.

Unreal Fest reveals that 'The Witcher 4' looks great on PS5, but what does that mean for PC?

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you weren't tapped into the Epic Games' Unreal Fest stream on Tuesday, you might've been sorry to miss all-new gameplay from The Witcher 4. To be fair, it's less of a gameplay demo and more of a tech demo, but it's still quite exciting. The clip shown of The Witcher 4 was shot on PS5 at 60 frames per second. I haven't seen a more high-fidelity game on the PS5 outside of The Last of Us Part II. The truth is that developers can make games with super high fidelity. The problem is that it not only takes time, but it's a killer on graphics cards. According to Epic Games, the solution to those problems is the latest version of its 3D graphics game engine, Unreal Engine 5.6, announced on Wednesday. Here's what The Witcher 4 is capable of, and how what was shown on just a PS5 may impact what we see on PC. Best Gaming Laptop Get Laptop Mag's best gaming laptop for $500 off while you can. The MSI Raider 18 HX AI features an Intel Core Ultra 9-285HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, 64GB DDR5, 4TB NVMe SSD, and an 18-inch 4K UHD+ mini LED Deal Unreal Engine 5.6 is clearly focused on "eliminating key CPU bottlenecks," to use the words of an Epic Games press release. For example, the Unreal Fest stream showed a crowd of over 300 people in the market square of Valdrest, the port city in The Witcher, going about their business with little impact on the performance. The demo also showed diverse character interactions, from people bargaining with merchants to people getting tossed out of the inn. Now, we've seen these things before in plenty of games. However, you usually don't see that kind of thing with this level of fidelity, intractability, and quantity, because your GPU might explode. You usually don't see that kind of thing with this level of fidelity, intractability, and quantity, because your GPU might explode. But one of the biggest updates is to the foliage, specifically the addition of Nanite Foliage. Developers can model every leaf and pine needle while maintaining memory efficiency and fast rendering. For those unaware, Unreal's signature Nanite system is an internal mesh format and rendering technology that allows for pixel-scale detail that can dial back and reveal enough detail that can be perceived. So a tree off in the mountains may look like a mesh of cubes up close, but from where you're standing, it looks like a perfect recreation of the trees around you. There's also an update to motion called Multi-Character Motion Matching. So when Ciri hops on her horse, Kelpie, the interaction looks seamless from every angle, even when you're hopping on her at high speed. Unreal Engine's Chaos Flesh Solver also makes Kelpie's muscles look realistic as you're riding her. Again, the demo was showcased in PS5. I can see myself getting lost in this immersive world of the demo alone. It's thanks to consoles that technology like Unreal Engine 5.6 exists because high fidelity in relatively mid-performing tech is key. But what will The Witcher 4 look like on one of the best gaming laptops? Well, I'm a bit scared and excited. It won't be the same level of fidelity just with enhanced resolution and frame rates. We know for a fact that Nvidia's DLSS 4 super sampling technology is making its way onto The Witcher 4. We still don't know exactly what CD Projekt RED is implementing with Nvidia's technology. More than likely, we'll get DLAA and Multi-Frame Generation to remove visual artifacts, but what level of ray tracing will be available? And how much different will The Witcher 4 be compared with the PS5 demo we just saw? Keep in mind that we don't even have a release date for The Witcher 4, and the next generation of consoles is not too far away, likely within the next couple years. So while the demo today was hella gorgeous, I think we only scratched the surface of what this game might look like. I played Elden Ring Nightreign on the RTX 5090, Intel Arc 140V, and AMD Radeon 8060S — here's what happened Doom: The Dark Ages is my favorite kind of nightmare — this is how it runs on an RTX 5090 gaming laptop The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion: Remastered is here, and this is how it runs on my RTX 5090 gaming laptop

Ryan Reynolds shares mock video reaction to having Deadpool role ‘stolen' by Neil Patrick Harris

Ryan Reynolds has shared a comic video reacting to having the role of Deadpool 'stolen' a forthcoming video game about the character. Marvel's Deadpool VR, a new game for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S platforms, was announced at Summer Game Fest 2025 this week – and will see Broadway star Neil Patrick Harris voice the comic book character that Reynolds has played on screen since 2009. Just hours after the trailer for Marvel's Deadpool VR was released online, Reynolds shared a video in which he can be seen 'over-reacting' to the news. In the video, Reynolds can be seen wearing a lab coat and glasses, in an apparent imitation of Harris in the latter's star-making role, as a teenage physician in the sitcom Doogie Howser, MD. Journaling on his personal computer, Reynolds writes: 'Today, I learned a lesson about buttholes they don't teach you in medical school. 'People who steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all,' he continues. 'No, I don't blame Meta Quest. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing actor with the nurturing voice of an angel, but even though I haven't hit puberty yet, I still know when you're getting totally screwed.' Reynolds is then interrupted by the appearance of Robyn Lively, who tells him that he's being 'vindictive and stupid'. Lively, the half-sister of Reynolds' wife Blake Lively, appeared in Doogie Howser as a nursing student who dates Harris's character. Fans reacted positively to the video on social media, with one person writing: 'Ryan is a goat for this.' 'It's funny that most people don't realise he's parodying NPH's old show as revenge for taking the Deadpool role. But, it also just reminds me how old I am because I instantly recognised the reference,' another wrote. 'It's like they didn't even ASK him. Because you know Ryan would've PAID to do the voice,' someone else claimed. Reynolds has portrayed the character of Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, in four feature films: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Deadpool (2016), Deadpool 2 (2018) and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). While Reynolds was not one of the many names announced to star in the forthcoming Avengers sequel, it is widely expected that Reynolds will reprise the character in a future Marvel film.
