Friends From Work

2026 is shaping up to be a HUGE year for Marvel Studios. Wonder Man was already a hit both critically and amongst fans and casual viewers alike. But Marvel still plans to release a Spider-Man and Avengers movie, as well as two mainstay shows with Daredevil and VisionQuest. Plus, two beloved animated shows return with second seasons. Oh, and a Punisher special.

With all of that goodness on the horizon, it's time for us to predict what we think they may do with a few of these characters.

What are some of your boldest predictions for this year?

No matter what, we as fans are eating good in 2026.

*Emergency Football Podcast*

I (Kyle) have a super self indulgent episode (this may be more for me than for you) about just how good at playing quarterback in the NFL Kirk Cousins has been for over a decade. If you want to hear some thoughts on quarterbacking, Kirk's career, and the Atlanta Falcons, this episode is for you. If not, PLEASE skip and have a Merry Christmas. We'll see you in 2026 with the Friendlee Awards!
