6 major movie & TV updates you missed this week

It’s been a busy week for movie, TV, and comic fans, from big casting news to sneak peeks and even a few surprises on set.

Here’s a quick catch-up on what went down:

Daredevil: Born Again gets season 3

Marvel isn’t slowing down with its street-level hero. Daredevil: Born Again has already been greenlit for a third season, and season 2 hasn’t even premiered yet. Clearly, Disney+ has a lot of faith in Matt Murdock’s future.

Brandon Perea joins new Insidious

Brandon Perea, known for Nope and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, has been selected as the male lead in the upcoming installment of Blumhouse’s Insidious series for Sony Pictures.

According to Deadline, Perea will join Amelie Eve, Lin Shaye, Misie Richardson-Sellers, Sam Spruell, and Island Austin, who were announced earlier.

Insidious 6 is currently being filmed in Australia, directed by Jacob Chase, who co-wrote the script with David Leslie Johnson. The film is set to be released on Aug. 21, 2026.

Avengers: Doomsday wraps filming

Marvel’s next big ensemble film, Avengers: Doomsday, has officially wrapped production.

Reports indicate that all main filming for the Marvel movie, directed by the Russo Brothers, is now done, with some additional filming planned for later.

The upcoming movie, written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely, will showcase heroes from the Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men teaming up to battle Doctor Doom.

Filming started in April and wrapped up after five months of rigorous shooting that reportedly occurred in England and Bahrain.

Avengers: Doomsday will now enter post-production for 14 months, which is considered a typical timeline for an Avengers film.

With cameras now off, the countdown begins for what’s expected to be one of the MCU’s biggest spectacles yet.

The dark and twisted design has already sparked excitement among fans who can’t wait to see this version of the Clown Prince of Crime.

Director Matt Reeves revealed that the villain for The Batman Part 2 will be someone “never really done in a movie before.” 

The teaser has left fans speculating wildly about which Gotham rogue could finally get their big-screen debut.

Filming on the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie will pause for a week after Tom Holland suffered a mild concussion on set. Thankfully, reports say he’s doing well, and production will be back on track soon.
