The upcoming "Supergirl" movie, based on "Woman of Tomorrow," is expected to provide further insights into the DCU's Krypton and the House of El. This comes after the "Superman" movie revealed that Jor-El and Lara sent Kal-El to Earth with the intention of conquest, a detail confirmed by James Gunn and Mister Terrific within the narrative. Actor David Krumholtz, who is part of "Supergirl," stated the film will be "very true to the Woman of Tomorrow graphic novel" and will clarify "what the House of El is all about".[1] This suggests that the movie might differentiate between various Kryptonians or members of the House of El, potentially portraying Jor-El as an anomaly or Zor-El (Supergirl's father) as a pacifist, given that Supergirl, unaware of any genocidal intentions, is sent to Earth by her parents to survive.[1] The film, directed by Craig Gillespie, is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.[1]The upcoming "Supergirl" film, based on the "Woman of Tomorrow" graphic novel, is set to reveal more about the DCU's Krypton and the intentions of the House of El.

The article reports on a movement to name a New York City street after comic book legend Jack Kirby. A petition is underway to rename a section of Essex Street, where Kirby was born and raised, to "Jack Kirby Way." This location is significant as it's believed to have inspired "Yancy Street," the fictional Lower East Side neighborhood in Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four. Kirby, who co-created iconic characters like Captain America, the Fantastic Four, Avengers, X-Men, and Darkseid, passed away in 1994 and did not witness the full impact of his creations in film. This initiative aims to honor his legacy in the city that influenced much of his work.[1]The article discusses a campaign to rename a street in New York City in honor of comic book legend Jack Kirby.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein movie has revealed a first-look image of Jacob Elordi as the Monster, showcasing extensive practical and makeup effects[1]. Del Toro aimed to make his Monster "more human than human" and bridge the gap between "Us and the Other"[1]. Elordi's transformation involved 42 prosthetic pieces for his full body, with 14 on his head and neck, utilizing a total of 54 silicone prosthetic pieces[1]. Each application of the full-body prosthetics required 10 hours and was performed 50 times during production[1]. Prosthetic artist Mike Hill explained their vision was to display "the inside of a human body up on the outside"[1]. The article praises the decision to reveal the Monster's look early, stating that a good movie doesn't need gimmicks[1]. New images of the cast, including Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, and Christoph Waltz, were also released[1].

Farrell also confirmed that "The Batman – Part II" will pick up a few weeks after "The Penguin" series concludes, despite the film being released in 2027, five years after the first movie[1].

"Star Wars: A New Hope" is slated for an IMAX re-release in 2027 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It is highly probable that the IMAX version will be the 1997 Special Edition or a subsequent Blu-ray update, rather than the original 1977 theatrical cut, due to updated special effects that would enhance the IMAX experience and the familiarity of these versions to younger audiences. The main question revolves around how the 50-year-old, standard widescreen film will be reformatted for IMAX, with concerns about potential AI alteration of the aspect ratio. While George Lucas previously kept the original versions "in the vault," recent comments suggest Disney now has more freedom. There's speculation about a 4K release of the original trilogy on Disney+ or 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in 2027, as 4K screenshots of the original versions briefly surfaced online.[1]
