DEXTER's Trinity Killer Spin-Off Gets Major Update From Franchise Showrunner — GeekTyrant
It looks like the most terrifying villain in the Dexter franchise still has more blood to spill, at least narratively. The long-teased spin-off series focused on the Trinity Killer just got a noteworthy update from Dexter showrunner Clyde Phillips, and while the project hasn't gotten the official go-ahead yet, it's much further along than we expected. During a panel at CCXP Mexico (via Reddit user TheSystolicGem), Phillips revealed: 'All ten episodes of the Trinity Killer have been written.' So, the show is ready to roll, but the show hasn't been greenlit for production just yet. The holdup may have less to do with the show's content and more to do with strategy. Showtime is already juggling multiple Dexter-related projects, including Dexter: Original Sin , a prequel series diving into young Dexter's 1990s origins, and Dexter: Resurrection , which will see Michael C. Hall return in some form. Phillips and his team might be waiting to see how Resurrection performs before launching another full-fledged series. That could be why Trinity's fate is still in limbo. The Trinity Killer, played masterfully by John Lithgow in Season 4, remains the franchise's most memorable antagonist and arguably its most psychologically layered. Lithgow is expected to return in some form, likely as a narrator or in brief flashbacks. The spin-off would explore the killer's earlier life and twisted methods long before Dexter ever crossed his path. Given that Arthur Mitchell, Trinity's real name, was active for decades, there's room to span multiple timelines, family secrets, and possibly new victims. Dexter Season 4 dropped some major breadcrumbs, including the existence of a secret daughter Trinity fathered outside of his seemingly perfect suburban life. Her origins, and her mother's identity, were never explored. With Lithgow confirmed to cameo in Resurrection , his presence might help build the momentum needed to push the Trinity project forward. If Resurrection hits the numbers Showtime hopes for, then Trinity's past has a good chance of slicing into the present lineup.

And she revealed her pregnancy while attending pop-culture festival CCXP in Mexico City on May 31. The 37-year-old showed off her baby bump while walking the red carpet at a panel event for First Steps , in which she plays Invisible Woman/Sue Storm. The character's pregnancy was revealed in the trailer for the film. Sue Storm is the wife of Mr Fantastic/Reed Richards, played by Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal. The Fantastic Four: First Steps also stars English actor Joseph Quinn as Human Torch/Johnny Storm – the younger brother of Sue Storm – and American actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing/Ben Grimm. The movie opens at cinemas on July 24. Kirby was seen cradling her baby bump in a short promotional video with her three co-stars in a post on Marvel's Instagram page on June 1.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Clip Teases a Tragic Origin, Galactus, and a Whole Lot of Multiverse Mayhem — GeekTyrant
Some Marvel fans got a surprise taste of The Fantastic Four: First Steps over the weekend, thanks to a clip from the Marvel movie that screened during CCXP in Mexico and may have revealed a major piece of the MCU's bigger puzzle. According to Inverse (translating coverage from Omelete), the scene shows Marvel's First Family escaping a crumbling planet, one that's apparently in the process of being devoured by none other than Galactus. As the Silver Surfer chases down their ship, Sue Storm goes into labor, and Johnny Storm fights off the Silver Surfer as Reed Richards steps help his wife deliver the baby. As this is all going on, Ben Grimm pilots the ship into a black hole. Some fans seem to think that the scene could also confirm a theory that's been making the rounds since we all saw Thunderbolts* post-credits stinger. The theory is that the Fantastic Four team couldn't protect their world from being destroyed by Galactus, which forces them to find a new home, and this is where Earth-616 enters the picture. Of course, that's all speculation. It's just as likely they're trying to stop Galactus from reaching Earth by intercepting him early. This would place the clip as a second-act low point, where our heroes get a taste of what they're up against, barely escape, and live to fight another day. It's also worth noting that Marvel chose this scene to showcase at a fan convention. That suggests it's not some big third-act spoiler. More likely, it's a midpoint moment that sets the emotional and cosmic stakes moving forward. The new Fantastic Four movie unfolds in a slick, retro-futuristic alternate universe that riffs on the 1960s, which is an era where the Fantastic Four are the only known superheroes. Marvel's been pretty open about that setup, and they've confirmed that Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will reprise their roles in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars . It's clear The Fantastic Four: First Steps is aiming for something big, epic stakes with emotional core, all powered by that team chemistry we've seen teased so far.
