'Cloak And Dagger' Season 1 Is Officially In The Works At Freeform
Exactly one year ago, Marvel fans were shocked and delighted to learn that Marvel and Freeform were partnering together on a whole new series: Cloak and Dagger! Things went very quiet for a while, though, and we could be forgiven for getting concerned. After all, last year saw ABC cancel Agent Carter and pass on Marvel's Most Wanted.

'Daredevil' Season 3 Will Begin Filming Later This Year And Hits Netflix In 2018 — Which Comic Should It Be Based On?
We're two seasons into the adventures of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), and fans simply can't get enough of the character! Daredevil Season 2 was a hit, so much so that it inspired a spinoff Punisher series that's currently in production.

Marvel's 'Inhumans': Set Photos Suggest The Alpha Primitives, The Royal Family's Slaves, Will Appear
The world was a very different place back in 1965, when the Inhumans made their debut in Fantastic Four #45. Back then, the Rolling Stones were on a world tour, Muhammad Ali was tussling with Sonny Liston, and one NASA astronaut was about to undertake the first spacewalk. Against this backdrop, Marvel began to develop a strange race of powerful beings known as the Inhumans — and I suspect there are a lot of social elements that would make present-day society wince.

'Legion' Season 1 Fan Theory: Is Syd Barrett A Mutant, Or Another Of David's Personalities?
Noah Hawley's newest TV series, the comic-book-inspired Legion, is a fascinating and refreshingly complex take on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Like the protagonist himself (Dan Stevens's David Haller), we're unable to differentiate between his experiences and the real world; we're left with tantalizing questions about the nature of reality; and we can't help but wonder just what in the world is actually going on!

Ghost Rider's Strange Connection to the Darkhold in 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' — What's Going on?
The coincidences are mounting in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. — and when it comes to superhero TV shows, I don't believe in coincidences. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 has introduced us to Robbie Reyes's Ghost Rider, and the latest episode — "The Good Samaritan" — has finally revealed his backstory. But Ghost Rider isn't the only supernatural element in the show; we're learning the power of the legendary Darkhold, a book with such power that heroes and villains have been seeking it for centuries.

Since it was launched in 2013, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has introduced us to new versions of classic characters, ranging from Deathlok to Quake, from Jeffrey Mace to the Absorbing Man. But Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Yes, it's time to meet the MCU version of Nitro!

Perhaps the most exciting comic-book-inspired TV series of the year, Legion promises to be a superhero show with a difference. Showrunner Noah Hawley (of Fargo fame) has focused on creating a unique, intense experience, in which we dive into the confused and broken mind of David Haller (Dan Stevens).
