Daredevil Gets Cocky + Everyone Else Gets Weird

After this weekend my apartment looks like a crime scene where the only victim was my dignity. There's a sock on my ceiling fan. I don't know how it got there. I don't want to know. It's been there since Thursday. It's part of the decor now. Like that stain on my carpet that vaguely looks like Nicolas Cage if you squint. Everything in my life looks like Nicolas Cage if I squint hard enough.

IN THIS ISSUE:

Marvel just renewed Daredevil: Born Again for Season 3 before Season 2 drops in May 2026.

This is like proposing on the first date. Sure, you're confident, but what if they chew with their mouth open? What if Season 2 is just 18 episodes of Matt Murdock doing taxes? We don't know. Nobody knows. Marvel doesn't care.

This is the first D+ Marvel Studios show to get a third season. Everything else got cancelled, ignored, or turned into a movie nobody asked for. But Daredevil gets the golden treatment. Probably because Charlie Cox looks good in red leather and we're all pretending that's not why we're watching.

I tried wearing leather once. In summer. In Florida. Lasted twelve minutes before I became a human slip-n-slide. But Cox? Cox makes it work. While blind. Acting blind. He's not actually blind. You knew that right? RIGHT?

Bernthal posted a shirtless gym selfie for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and apparently facial hair is breaking news now.

Marines tattoo on his pec. Beard on his face. This is journalism. This is what we're doing.

He was clean-shaven in Netflix Punisher. Now he has a beard. Character development! Or he just didn't feel like shaving. When I don't shave it's depression. When Bernthal doesn't shave it's method acting.

First look at Fiennes as President Snow in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping releasing November 20, 2026.

From nose-less wizard to dystopian dictator. That's career range. Or typecasting. Definitely one of those.

I read all the Hunger Games books. In one weekend. Called in sick to work. Wasn't actually sick. Unless emotional devastation counts. It should count.

Absolute Joker looks like someone fed DeviantArt into an AI and asked for "make it edgier."

Forked tail. Dragon spikes. Horns. This isn't Joker, this is what happens when Hot Topic gains sentience. "Most R-rated design yet" they're bragging.

Remember when Joker was just a guy in makeup who was really into chaos? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I remember. We all remember. But here we are. Demon Joker. Sure. Fine. Whatever helps you sleep at night, DC.

January start for Scorsese's What Happens At Night with Apple paying for Leo and JLaw to see dead people.

A couple adopting a baby in a snowy European town but make it supernatural. That's the pitch.
