'Star Wars' Drops The Trailer For 'The Mandalorian' Season 2
Ever since the season finale of the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian last December, when Moff Gideon emerged from his ship wielding the Darksaber, Star Wars fans have been very curious about what will happen in the second season. People are eager to see the further adventures of Din Djarrin and The Child, the latter having been nicknamed “Baby Yoda” by the fans. We knew that season 2 would be coming in October, and for a while, people were expecting that October 7 would be the release date. Recently, Star Wars social media announced, with the punny caption “This is the day,” that the new season would premiere on October 30. This is not as soon as many expected, but it is still not too far away. With October creeping closer and closer, fans have been wanting a trailer. They even expected it to drop during the NBA play-offs, though that did not end up happening. Now, however, we finally have a trailer. You can check it below:

'Thor: Love and Thunder' To Use The Volume Technology Used For 'The Mandalorian'
Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest unknowns in recent cinema. After the excitement that was Infinity War and Endgame, as well as the departures of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans from the films, that leaves Chris Hemsworth as the remaining member of the "big three" (so to speak) Marvel characters. The next Thor film, Thor: Love and Thunder, is arguably the biggest one on the upcoming docket of films.

Sony Chairman Confirms That 'Spider-Man 3' And 'Venom 2' Will Not Release In Theaters Until Pandemic Is Over
Since the filming of many production shoots have been delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing pandemic, many studios have been floating the idea of release dates, but we have all seen that these do not really stick. With the release of Tenet after numerous delays and teases, there was some hope of the return of normalcy in the cinema industry, with production starting again and films finally sticking to their schedules. Alas, this was just an experiment, and a failed one at that. The hope had been for Marvel Studios to start up the production for their films soon to meet their set release dates. Tom Holland believed that he would finish his third Spider-Man film by February. As new films are being released, it seems that Sony Pictures have reconsidered their production schedule.

What We Learned From The Animation Panels At DC FanDome: Explore The Multiverse
Last Saturday, September 12, saw the second part of DC Comics virtual convention DC FanDome, titled Explore the Multiverse. This had a heavy focus on DC television and also had a few panels about recent and upcoming animated films. Some of these panels were originally scheduled for DC FanDome on August 22, and it seemed that some panels would run concurrently with the panels about live-action films and video games. Thankfully, DC decided to push panels back to September 12 so that the experiences would be more manageable for the viewers. The video games and live-action films had their time to shine in the Hall of Heroes, and now fans could relax and what whatever panels they wanted in whatever order they preferred from 10 AM PST Saturday to about 12 PM PST Sunday. This particular article will have highlights from the animation-related panels that were present in the Watchverse section of the DC FanDome website.
