Marvel's upcoming movie? – Know the deeds, Lineup in 2028
The OTT platform collaborated with Marvel movies and announced that the famous Marvel-oriented production house will come up with a new movie in the month of December, 2028. It would be the fourth feature from the division set for that calendar year, with previously announced films scheduled for release in February, May, and November of the same year. The certainty of all four movies with the desired time is not there yet; it would be an unexpected move for the studio, given CEO Bob Iger's recent public admission that Marvel 'lost a little focus by making too much.' Iger's words in an investor call He said, 'We all know that in our zeal to flood our streaming platform with more content, that we turned to all of our creative engines, including Marvel, and had them produce a lot more,' Further saying, 'We've also learned over time that quantity does not necessarily beget quality. And frankly, we've all admitted to ourselves that we lost a little focus by making too much. By consolidating a bit and having Marvel focus much more on their films, we believe that will result in better quality. ' Holding of projects It is still not very sure if the movies will actually release in the year 2028, as it is known to hold on to projects. They do it to ensure they remain available for other films from the company. Just as Marvel's 'Blade' was removed from its November 2025 release date only after the platform was ready to slot the 20th Century Studios film 'Predator: Badlands' in its place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 2026 and 2027 lineups After '' opens in July, the studio is producing two films in 2026— 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' in July and 'Avengers: Doomsday' in December—and two films in 2027: an untitled project in July and 'Avengers: Secret Wars' in December.

Marvel Adds Possible Fourth Movie to 2028 Slate
Yara Sameh Disney announced on Wednesday that Marvel Studios is scheduled to release an untitled movie on December 15, 2028. It would be the fourth movie from the division set for that calendar year, with previously announced films scheduled for release in February, May, and November of 2028. Should all four films hold onto those dates — which is not nearly certain — it would be an unexpected move for the studio, given Disney CEO Bob Iger's recent public admission that Marvel 'lost a little focus by making too much.' 'We all know that in our zeal to flood our streaming platform with more content, that we turned to all of our creative engines, including Marvel, and had them produce a lot more,' Iger said during an investor call in May. 'We've also learned over time that quantity does not necessarily beget quality. And frankly, we've all admitted to ourselves that we lost a little focus by making too much. By consolidating a bit and having Marvel focus much more on their films, we believe that will result in better quality.' It is quite unclear, however, whether Marvel will release four films in 2028. Disney has a history of holding onto release dates for feature projects well past when those films could realistically make those dates to ensure they remain available for other films from the company: Marvel's 'Blade' was removed from its November 2025 release date only after Disney was ready to slot the 20th Century Studios film 'Predator: Badlands' in its place. For 2026 and 2027, Marvel has significantly winnowed its feature slate. After 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' opens in July, the studio is producing two films in 2026 — 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' (a co-production with Sony Pictures) in July and 'Avengers: Doomsday' in December; and two films in 2027 — an untitled project in July and 'Avengers: Secret Wars' in December. 'Secret Wars' is meant to be the finale of the Multiverse Saga, after which Marvel is expected to pivot to a saga centered around characters inherited in Disney's 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox: the X-Men. 'Thunderbolts*' director Jake Schreier has been tapped to helm the MCU's first mutant movie (although many actors from Fox's 'X-Men' movies in the 2000s, including Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, will appear in 'Doomsday'). Other Marvel projects in development that could wind up opening in 2028 include the aforementioned 'Blade,' 'Black Panther 3,' and a 'Fantastic Four' sequel. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg teases ‘big, crazy swing' with sci-fi movie
'Predator: Badlands' director Dan Trachtenberg has teased he's taken a "big, crazy swing" with the upcoming movie. The sci-fi flick will put the titular alien hunter at the forefront of the story as its hero, and the 43-year-old filmmaker has now promised 'Predator: Badlands' will be a unique take on the beloved action franchise. In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, Trachtenberg said: "It's a big, crazy swing, and I think that's what drives butts into seats. "If you want the same old Predator experience, you can hit play on 'Predator' or 'Prey' or any other, whichever one is your fit." 'Predator: Badlands' follows the young Predator Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) after he has been outcast from his clan and sent to a remote planet where he forms an unlikely alliance with Thia (Elle Fanning) as the pair search for the ultimate adversary. While the director didn't reveal any specific details about the character Fanning will be portraying, Trachtenberg explained he had used story concepts from video games like 'Shadow of the Colossus' to craft Thia and the dynamic she has with the Predator. He said: "As inspired as I am by movies, I've been very inspired by video games [like] 'Shadow of the Colossus', where you have a protagonist paired with someone else who provides color and connection. "There's a thing with a horse in 'Shadow of the Colossus' that's devastating when you play the game. And so ['Predator: Badlands'] was a little bit inspired by that in terms of wanting to see the Predator with someone else, this character who's the opposite of him. "He's very laconic, [Thia] is not. She's capable in ways that he is not. Physically, she's got a real thing that I'm so excited for you guys to see. But I want to let eventually some of that speak for itself." Trachtenberg added 'Predator: Badlands' would be more character-driven than previous 'Predator' movies, and would centre on the titular alien hunter. He explained: "I never thought [the Predator] was Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. "They had a code [like] hitmen or crime underworld 'Goodfellas'. I felt like there was something cool to explore within that culture that's different than just adding a bunch of stuff on top of it. "It felt like we're mining [concepts] as opposed to just throwing [more] at the franchise." As for what inspired 'Predator: Badlands', Trachtenberg revealed he had pulled ideas from a variety of different films for his movie - which is slated for release in November. He said: "There's a Frank Frazetta, 'Conan the Barbarian', Spartan thing … but also you think of 'The Book of Eli' or 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' … 'Shane', [very] western, very Clint Eastwood-y." The director concluded he wanted 'Predator: Badlands' to "feel genre" and "feel very specific" with its tone and story. He said: "I wanted to make it feel genre, feel very specific, and an inversion of the [main] premise - now the Predator is on [another] planet, and he's going to be hunted by things and has to use his guile to [survive]."
