A superhero movie shelved for tax reasons. A disgraced director attempting a comeback. And a shady company rebooting a classic comic book hero. It all sounds very Hollywood 2024 — and that was one of the goals for Alex Segura with his new novel, Alter Ego.

Alter Ego, which arrived Dec. 3 from publisher Flatiron, serves as what he calls a “standalone” sequel to his well-received 2022 novel Secret Identity, which focused on comic book culture of the 1970s and chronicled the creation of a hero known as The Lynx. The new novel takes place decades later in the same world as Secret Identity, but can be read on its own.

Alter Ego centers on Annie Bustamante, an acclaimed comic book artist and filmmaker who is sent into a tailspin when her new superhero movie gets shelved for tax reasons. She gets a lifeline when a mysterious company hires her to help reboot The Lynx comic and consult on the property (a disgraced filmmaker is directing a Lynx movie as part of a comeback attempt). Annie signs on, but she soon starts receiving messages from someone called Apparition, who warns she is in danger.

The novel took life after Flatiron editor Zack Wagman suggested Segura add a modern-day epilogue to Secret Identity, which followed the 1970s exploits of comic book creator Carmen Valdez. (via The Hollywood Reporter)

Holly Waddington

HBO has made a key hire for its anticipated Harry Potter series in the shape of costume designer Holly Waddington, who recently won an Oscar for her work on Emma Stone starrer Poor Things.

The hire has been confirmed to Deadline by HBO, marking the first confirmed creative to join the series since it was announced over the summer with Francesca Gardiner as showrunner and Mark Mylod aboard to direct multiple episodes.

Waddington’s star is sky high after Poor Things, which earned her wins from the Academy, BAFTA and the Costume Designers Guild Awards. Her striking costumes for the film went on to be showcased in exhibitions held in London and Athens. She has now landed one of the plumb costume jobs in TV.

As revealed yesterday at a Max Showcase in London, the big-budget series retelling of JK Rowling’s novels will film at Leavesden from summer 2025.

You know what time it is! This March, Ben Grimm is back headlining an all-new solo series! THE THING will be a five-issue limited series written by Tony Fleecs, following his acclaimed Marvel Comics debut in Venom War: Wolverine, and drawn by former Fantastic Four artist Leonard Kirk, known for his stellar work on titles like Star Wars: Battle of Jakku and Sabretooth.

The saga sees Ben Grimm step away from the Fantastic Four to take down a criminal conspiracy with mysterious ties to his childhood on Yancy Street, fighting his way to the top as a one-man clobberin’ machine! But when the big bad puts out a hefty hit on him, he’ll have to battle a who’s who of classic Marvel villains from Bullseye to the unstoppable Juggernaut! Arriving just ahead of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July and perfect for newcomers and True Believers alike, THE THING delivers a timeless, action-packed adventure for one comic books’ most beloved icons. T

HE THING CLOBBERS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE! Ben Grimm may be the strongest member of the Fantastic Four, but once upon a time, he was just a scrawny kid from Yancy Street. When an unexpected visitor from his past sends him on a search for a missing child, the Thing must unravel the mystery even if that means becoming a wanted man! Get ready to see the Ever-Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing versus every super-powered criminal and bounty hunter in New York City! Fleecs and Kirk give a glimpse into the history of the Thing that reminds you why Ben Grimm is the heart of the Marvel Universe…and why you don’t want to let him hear you say that!

“What I love about Ben Grimm is that he's just a regular hardworking guy--who happens to have super powers,” Fleecs shared. “He's Jack Kirby. He's not easily impressed by all of the outlandish, cosmic stuff constantly going on around him.

“The fun thing about this book is trying to figure out-- 'okay, then what WOULD surprise the Thing? What WOULD catch him off guard?' In that spirit, we're throwing every villain in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe at him. Trying to pit him against some opponents that you wouldn't expect. We've got Leonard Kirk drawing The Thing! Believe me, you're gonna see ol' Benjy clobber some guys he's never clobbered before.”

“It's been a decade since my run on Fantastic Four and I am thrilled as punch (pun intended) to be working on this series with everyone's favorite orange, pugilistic paragon of heroism, Ben Grimm,” Kirk said. “The villains he goes up against range from the, let's just say, less than serious, to the absolutely iconic, and I am very much looking forward to drawing all of them. The first issue has already been a fun romp and I know I will love the rest.”

Check out Nick Bradshaw’s cover and preorder THE THING #1 at your local comic shop today!

Edge Of Space

An ambitious short film is garnering praise in Hollywood.

Ron Howard, Roland Emmerich and 300 producer Gianni Nunnari are among admirers of high-end short Edge Of Space, which is set in 1961 during the height of the US-Soviet space race and depicts the journey of a determined USAF test pilot, who is recruited by NASA for a daring suborbital mission in a X-15 hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft. You can watch the first trailer below.

Written and directed by Zurich Film Festival executive and former Roland Emmerich employee Jean de Meuron, the film is inspired by historical events and stars Chad Michael Collins (Sniper film series), Kimberly Alexander, Jackson Robert Scott (It) and Kevin LaRosa II (Top Gun: Maverick aerial coordinator), among others.

Edge Of Space was three years in the making and was financed by de Meuron and in large part by an old friend who wanted to help his buddy realize his passion project. It is his second short as a director and has unusually high production values and a deep bench of Hollywood vets among the crew. (via Deadline)

Sam Esmail, Elizabeth Olsen, and Julia Roberts

Elizabeth Olsen (His Three Daughters) has closed a deal to join Julia Roberts in Panic Carefully, a new Warner Bros. film that Sam Esmail will direct from his own script.

Described as a paranoid thriller in the vein of Esmail’s Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mr. Robot, as well as The Silence of the Lambs, the film’s logline is being kept under wraps.

The project went out to assorted studios and streamers near the top of this year, with Warner Bros prevailing in a heated bidding war, in part due to its commitment to a theatrical run. The film reunites Esmail with Roberts following Leave the World Behind, their hugely popular apocalyptic thriller, based on the 2020 novel by Rumaan Alam, which premiered on Netflix in November 2023 and stands as the streamer’s fifth most popular English-language film of all time, with 143.4 million views.

Production is slated to kick off in England in January. (via Deadline)

Since making her big move to the 616 earlier this year, Gwen Stacy’s super hero career has taken a wild turn! New villains, hints of romance, and the overarching mystery behind her permanent dimension hop has made writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Paolo Villanelli’s SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER one of the hottest launches of the year. This March, the series continues to go where no Gwen Stacy has gone before in a new arc titled “Ghost-Spider Beyond!”

Kicking off in SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER #11, the thrilling saga sees Gwen take off on grand quest into the Marvel cosmos! There, she’ll come across unimaginable power and the only thing stopping her from using it to fix all her life’s problems is Loki! During the storyline, Gwen will debut a new space suit designed by SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER’s superstar cover artist Mark Brooks.

GHOST-SPIDER BEYOND! Gwen has something King Loki wants, and she’ll do everything in her power to keep it from him. The god of lies and deception knows his strength lies in words over brute force, so he intends to convince Gwen to give up the artifact willingly. It’s the most unlikely team-up ever as Ghost-Spider and King Loki embark on an intergalactic adventure for the ages!

"I envisioned a Gwen and Loki storyline from the beginning of my work on Gwen, so this arc feels like the culmination of everything we’ve been building toward,” Phillips shared. “Taking Gwen to space has allowed us to explore some unexpected elements of her character, especially as her optimism and hope clashes with King Loki's nihilism. Paolo and I have worked hard to make this a unique sci-fi adventure—one that’s dark and very personal to Gwen."

Check out Brooks’ cover along with his design sheet for Gwen’s new look and preorder SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST-SPIDER #11 at your local comic shop today! To catch up on Phillips’ run, pick up SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER VOLUME. 1 – HAUNTED, on sale this January!

Marvel lo vuelve a hacer: la serie que todos estábamos esperando vuelve a Disney Plus en esta fecha

One of the stars of Daredevil: Born Again confirms there is indeed a time jump from the third season of Daredevil ending on Netflix, and when the upcoming Disney+ show begins. Next spring is the release of Daredevil: Born Again, which brings back everyone’s favorite Marvel street-level characters like Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Punisher, and Bullseye.

And Wilson Bethel, who plays the villainous Bullseye, has revealed new details regarding how much time takes place between Daredevil and its coming successor.

Speaking at Fan Expo San Francisco, Bethel dropped a bombshell that Daredevil: Born Again will feature a time jump.

“So there’s kind of like this funny thing stepping back after five years where Born Again will pick up with that amount of time having transpired." Bethel said. "The show doesn’t pick up the day after we last saw it. It picks up five years later. And so in theory, these are characters who have all lived five years of life and all of the twists and turns that you take in the meantime. So whether or not even those stories are necessarily on screen, there’s just that little extra bit of life in there, which I think is… as an actor, it gives you an opportunity to bring whatever your own journey has been in that time and they get sort of a little longer in the tooth.”

Daredevil: Born Again debuts March 4, 2025 on Disney+. (via ComicBook.com)
