  🚀 Our Show Is Trending is launching on Kickstarter September 22nd! We're excited to finally share what we've been working on. Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially made box office history! Tom Holland's latest Spider-Man movie has reportedly become the highest-grossing movie ever in North America, adding another enormous record to what has already been an unbelievable theatrical run. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the historic success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, how the movie reached this level, and what it means for the future of Spider-Man in the MCU. Has Tom Holland's Peter Parker become Marvel Studios' most important character heading into Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, and Spider-Man 5? Then we turn to a LOT of DC Studios news. James Gunn is pushing back on expectations for major cameos in Man of Tomorrow. With speculation surrounding Batman, Wonder Woman, Blue Beetle and other DCU characters, Gunn appears to be trying to keep expectations under control. Is that the right move, and what should Man of Tomorrow actually focus on? There may also be some concerning developments behind the scenes at HBO, with reports that multiple DC television projects have stalled in development. What does this mean for James Gunn and Peter Safran's larger DCU plan? Zack Snyder is also opening up about the end of his DCEU, the theatrical version of Justice League, his experience with Joss Whedon's version of the movie, and even his involvement consulting on James Gunn's Superman. Years after the SnyderVerse came to an end, Snyder has plenty to say about how everything unfolded. The biggest story today is the extraordinary performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Tom Holland's Spider-Man has reached another box office milestone, and the question now becomes what Marvel and Sony do next with a franchise operating at this level. #SpiderManBrandNewDay #SpiderMan #TomHolland #Marvel #MarvelStudios #MCU #SpiderMan5 #AvengersDoomsday #JamesGunn #ManOfTomorrow #Superman #DCU #DCStudios #ZackSnyder #JusticeLeague #GreenLantern #Lanterns #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow SPONSOR:  #CASHAPP PARTNER: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod  Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

  The Batman Part II Is Like THE GODFATHER PART II?! Sebastian Stan Makes HUGE Claim! GREG ALBA JOINS! 15.09.2026 2t 3min

  We're excited to finally share what we've been working on. Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ The Batman Part II is being compared to The Godfather Part II, and that's one massive claim. Sebastian Stan is teasing Matt Reeves' Batman sequel and comparing its potential to one of the most celebrated sequels in movie history. Could Robert Pattinson's second Batman movie actually surpass The Batman? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss Stan's comments, what they could tell us about the scope and direction of The Batman Part II, and why expectations continue to rise for Matt Reeves' return to Gotham. What does the sequel need to accomplish to take Bruce Wayne's story to another level? We're also diving into some intriguing DCU Flash speculation. The People vs. Gorilla Grodd has reportedly added two villains connected to The Flash, raising an obvious question: Could the Scarlet Speedster actually appear? If James Gunn's DC Studios is starting to build out Flash's rogues gallery, how long will it be before we finally meet the DCU's Barry Allen? Plus, we're breaking down the biggest winners from the 2026 Emmy Awards and discussing the shows, actors and surprises that dominated television's biggest night. There's also a major development in the animation world as Netflix and Skydance Animation end their deal. What happened, and what could this mean for the future of Skydance's animated projects? And Shōgun Season 2 has officially wrapped filming. After the enormous success of the first season, expectations are high for the next chapter of FX's acclaimed series. The biggest question today is whether The Batman Part II can actually live up to a comparison with The Godfather Part II. Matt Reeves has had years to develop the next chapter of Robert Pattinson's Batman story, and expectations are becoming enormous. We're also discussing whether The People vs. Gorilla Grodd could quietly be setting up the DCU's new Flash, the biggest results from the 2026 Emmys, the end of Netflix and Skydance Animation's partnership, and the latest update on Shōgun Season 2. If you're a fan of The Batman Part II, Robert Pattinson, Matt Reeves, Sebastian Stan, The Flash, Gorilla Grodd, James Gunn, DC Studios, the Emmys, Netflix, or Shōgun, this episode is for you! #TheBatmanPartII #TheBatman #Batman #RobertPattinson #MattReeves #SebastianStan #TheFlash #GorillaGrodd #DCU #DCStudios #JamesGunn #Emmys #Emmys2026 #Shogun #Netflix #MovieNews #TVNews #KristianHarloffShow

Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Could The Batman Part II actually surpass the first movie? Sebastian Stan is making a massive comparison, describing Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II in terms of The Godfather Part II. That's an enormous statement, and it immediately raises expectations for Robert Pattinson's return as the Dark Knight. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss what that comparison could mean for the sequel, how Matt Reeves can expand Gotham without losing what worked about the first movie, and whether The Batman Part II could become one of the rare sequels that actually surpasses its predecessor. We also have a new update on James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow. New production talk is making the rounds as DC Studios prepares for the next chapter of its Superman story. What can we expect from the follow-up, and what could it mean for the expanding DCU? At the box office, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues its incredible theatrical run by breaking another major record. We also discuss the latest CinemaScores and what audiences are saying about some of the weekend's other big releases. Meanwhile, I Play Rocky is generating major buzz following its TIFF premiere. Peter Farrelly's new drama is already being discussed as a possible Oscar contender. Could this become one of the biggest awards-season surprises? And Zack Snyder is back with The Last Photograph. The first reactions are arriving, giving us an early indication of how audiences and critics are responding to Snyder's latest project. #TheBatmanPartII #TheBatman #Batman #RobertPattinson #MattReeves #SebastianStan #Superman #ManOfTomorrow #JamesGunn #DCU #DCStudios #TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #IPlayRocky #ZackSnyder #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow   SPONSOR:  #CASHAPP PARTNER: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod  Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

  Marvel Has Officially Found Their Angel! 11.09.2026 1t 59min

  🚀 Our Show Is Trending is launching on Kickstarter September 22nd! We're excited to finally share what we've been working on. Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Marvel Studios has reportedly found its Warren Worthington III, with Gen V star Asa Germann cast as Angel in the upcoming MCU X-Men reboot! With the original five mutants continuing to take shape alongside Christopher Abbott's Charles Xavier and Adam Driver's Mister Sinister, Marvel's Mutant Saga is building massive anticipation. But how will Angel fit into Jake Schreier's vision for the team, and what does this mean for the future of the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the newest MCU X-Men casting news, what Asa Germann brings to the role of Angel, and how Marvel is assembling its next era of mutant storytelling. Over at DC, Matt Reeves has officially renewed his overall television deal with Warner Bros. Discovery and Warner Bros. Television. Does this re-up open the door for The Penguin Season 2 starring Colin Farrell, or will Reeves and HBO pivot to brand-new Gotham City spin-offs to bridge the gap leading into The Batman Part II? Plus, Cody Walker has sparked intense debate by suggesting modern AI technology—rather than physical body doubles—could be used to bring Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner back for the final Fast and Furious movie if his daughter Meadow approves. Is using generative AI to resurrect deceased actors a touching tribute for a franchise finale, or does it cross an ethical line that Hollywood shouldn't touch? We debate the future of digital recreation, the state of DC's Batman Epic Crime Saga, and Marvel's mutant rollout! If you're a fan of Marvel Studios, the MCU, X-Men, Angel, The Batman Part II, The Penguin, Matt Reeves, DC Studios, Fast and the Furious, and the latest movie news, this episode is for you! #XMen #Marvel #MCU #MarvelStudios #Angel #WarrenWorthingtonIII #AsaGermann #Mutants #ThePenguin #TheBatmanPartII #MattReeves #DCStudios #DCU #Batman #FastAndTheFurious #PaulWalker #BrianOConner #FastForever #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow SPONSORS:  RUGIET: Head to https://www.Rugiet.com/KRISTIAN and get 15% off your ED treatment.

Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Avengers: Doomsday has reportedly already topped $50 MILLION in ticket pre-sales! Marvel Studios' next massive Avengers movie is building enormous momentum well before its theatrical debut, but just how big could this movie actually become? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss the early Avengers: Doomsday box office numbers, whether the film could challenge some of the biggest opening weekends of all time, and just how much anticipation there is to see Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom alongside the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four. Could Doomsday potentially reach the heights of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame? And with Avengers: Secret Wars still to come, is Marvel about to recapture the event-movie excitement of the Infinity Saga? Over at DC, we've got our first looks from The People vs. Gorilla Grodd. New set videos show a surprisingly dapper Gorilla Grodd singing, along with a first look at Jimmy Olsen. Just how strange is this DC Studios series going to get, and could its completely different tone help expand James Gunn's DCU? The biggest question today is how massive Avengers: Doomsday can become. Crossing $50 million in early ticket sales would be another major indication that audiences are ready for Marvel's next Avengers event. With Doctor Doom, the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men all involved, Doomsday has the ingredients for one of Marvel Studios' biggest movies ever. If you're a fan of Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr., X-Men, Mister Sinister, Adam Driver, Gorilla Grodd, The Penguin, The Batman Part II, Marvel Studios, or DC Studios, this episode is for you!

  X-Men Reboot Is Batman v Superman Meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB?! Script Gets Major Praise! 09.09.2026 2t 29min

  🚀 Our Show Is Trending is launching on Kickstarter September 22nd! We're excited to finally share what we've been working on. Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot script is reportedly getting some major praise, and one insider has described the upcoming MCU movie as Batman v Superman meets The Breakfast Club. What exactly does THAT mean for Marvel's new take on the X-Men? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest X-Men reboot rumors, what this surprising comparison could tell us about the tone and story, and whether Marvel Studios is finally ready to deliver a completely different kind of mutant movie. With a new generation of X-Men preparing to enter the MCU, expectations are incredibly high. Could the Breakfast Club comparison point toward a character-driven story focused on the relationships between young mutants, while the Batman v Superman comparison suggests a much larger conflict happening around them? And after decades of Fox X-Men movies, what does Marvel need to do to make its reboot feel fresh? We also have a major Avengers: Doomsday release date update. The next Avengers movie appears to have secured an earlier release date, but has Marvel moved the film to avoid going head-to-head with Dune: Part Three? We discuss the potential box office battle and whether moving Doomsday gives both massive movies more room to dominate. Plus, Maisie Williams is finally addressing rumors about returning to the world of Game of Thrones for an Arya Stark spinoff series. Could HBO actually bring Arya back for another adventure in Westeros? And Nintendo has revealed the logo for the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie, with Shigeru Miyamoto teasing the story and meaning behind the film's title. What can we expect from Link and Zelda's jump to the big screen? Today's biggest discussion is all about Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot. Calling the movie a combination of Batman v Superman and The Breakfast Club certainly raises some eyebrows, but could that combination actually be perfect for the X-Men? The franchise has always balanced huge superhero conflicts with stories about outsiders trying to find their place in the world. If Marvel can combine that scale with a strong character-driven story, the MCU's X-Men could feel very different from the previous movies. We're also discussing the potentially huge Avengers: Doomsday vs. Dune: Part Three box office situation, the possibility of Maisie Williams returning as Arya Stark, and the latest developments surrounding Nintendo's Legend of Zelda movie. If you're a fan of X-Men, Marvel Studios, MCU, Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Dune Part Three, Game of Thrones, Arya Stark, Maisie Williams, The Legend of Zelda, or the latest movie and television news, this episode is for you! #XMen #Marvel #MarvelStudios #MCU #AvengersDoomsday #DoctorDoom #DunePartThree #GameOfThrones #AryaStark #MaisieWilliams #LegendOfZelda #Zelda #Nintendo #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow SPONSORS:  RUGIET: Head to https://www.Rugiet.com/KRISTIAN and get 15% off your ED treatment.

We're also diving into the latest uncertainty surrounding Wonder Woman and the DCU, the continued box office dominance of The Odyssey, Robert Pattinson's intriguing tease for The Batman Part II, and the return of Godzilla in Godzilla Minus Zero.

  X-Men Reboot WITHOUT Magneto & Gambit?! | MARTINI PARATORE talks TRENDING 04.09.2026 3t 1min

  🚀 Our Show Is Trending is launching on Kickstarter September 22nd! We're excited to finally share what we've been working on. Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot may be moving forward without two of the franchise's most popular mutants! A new report claims Magneto and Gambit will NOT appear in the upcoming MCU X-Men movie, raising some major questions about Marvel's plans for its new mutant era. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss why Marvel might choose to leave Magneto and Gambit out of the first X-Men movie, whether that's actually the right decision, and which characters could take their place on the team. Marvel has already started assembling its new generation of mutants with Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue and Storm, while Mister Sinister and Emma Frost are expected to play major roles. With Magneto reportedly sitting this one out — and Wolverine also expected to be absent — could Marvel be deliberately trying to give audiences an X-Men story completely different from the Fox movies? And what does no Gambit mean for Rogue? Could Marvel be saving that relationship for a sequel or another MCU project? Plus, new Rogue actress Inde Navarrette is already lining up her next major project. Following her X-Men casting, Navarrette has joined the upcoming sci-fi movie The Waffle House Index from Apple Studios and Plan B. We also discuss the first reactions to Practical Magic 2. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are finally back together for the long-awaited sequel, but the initial social media response appears decidedly mixed. Can nostalgia and the original movie's cult following still turn Practical Magic 2 into a theatrical hit? The big question today is whether Marvel Studios is making the right call by launching its X-Men franchise without Magneto and Gambit. Magneto has dominated many previous X-Men movies, so giving the character a break could allow Marvel to focus on villains we haven't seen nearly as much on the big screen. But leaving Gambit out when Rogue is already part of the team could be a much more controversial decision. We break down Marvel's potential strategy, who could still join the team, and how the MCU can make its version of the X-Men feel different from everything that's come before.

  Can AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY SAVE THE MCU?! Russo Brothers Respond! 03.09.2026 3t 19min

Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Avengers: Doomsday started filming with an unfinished script?! The Russo Brothers are opening up about the massive challenge of bringing Marvel Studios' next Avengers movie together, including why production began before the screenplay was completely finished. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss whether this should actually concern MCU fans or if the Russos' filmmaking process could ultimately make Doomsday better. Joe and Anthony Russo are once again handling an enormous Marvel ensemble, this time bringing together characters from the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other corners of the MCU. The directors also address the pressure surrounding the movie and whether Avengers: Doomsday is supposed to "save" Marvel after the MCU's recent ups and downs. Can the Russo Brothers recreate the magic of Infinity War and Endgame? How will Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom factor into everything? And can Doomsday successfully bring together this many characters while still delivering the emotional moments fans expect from an Avengers movie? The biggest question today is whether Avengers: Doomsday beginning production without a finished script should worry Marvel fans. The Russos have successfully handled enormous MCU productions before, but Doomsday may be their biggest challenge yet. With Doctor Doom, the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men all potentially colliding, the pressure is enormous. We're breaking down what the directors actually said, whether the unfinished screenplay is a legitimate red flag, and why the Russos believe their evolving approach to the script can actually help the movie. If you're a fan of Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr., Russo Brothers, Avengers: Secret Wars, X-Men, Fantastic Four or the latest movie and television news, this episode is for you! #AvengersDoomsday #Avengers #DoctorDoom #RobertDowneyJr #RussoBrothers #AvengersSecretWars #Marvel #MarvelStudios #MCU #XMen #FantasticFour #WonderWoman #ZackSnyder #JamesGunn #DCU #HarryPotter #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow  SPONSORS: CASH APP:  Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod.   • Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

  Florence Pugh headed to the Bond Universe?! 02.09.2026 1t 57min

Head over to https://ourshowistrending.com/ and hit Notify Me on Launch so you'll be among the first to know when the Kickstarter officially goes live. 📅 Kickstarter launches September 22nd 🔔 Get notified: https://ourshowistrending.com/ Could Florence Pugh be joining the James Bond universe as Moneypenny? A new rumor claims the Thunderbolts*, Avengers: Doomsday, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day star is being eyed to lead The Moneypenny Diaries, a potential James Bond spinoff series for Prime Video. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss the rumor, whether Florence Pugh would be a good fit for Moneypenny, and what this could tell us about Amazon MGM's larger plans for the future of 007. With the search for the next James Bond continuing, could Amazon be preparing an entire connected Bond universe beyond the main movies? And if Florence Pugh does become Moneypenny, would she also appear alongside the new 007 on the big screen? Plus, we finally have an update on the long-awaited ThunderCats movie. Director Adam Wingard says the project is still alive, and a new draft of the script was completed earlier this year. After years of development, could Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro and Mumm-Ra finally make their way to the big screen? Tom Cruise is also weighing in on the future of Paramount and Warner Bros. Cruise says he's confident in the promise that a combined studio could deliver 30 theatrical movies per year. Is that realistic, and could a renewed focus on theatrical releases be exactly what Hollywood needs? And Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in the modern God of War games, explains why he turned down the opportunity to play Kratos in live action. With Dave Bautista now taking on the role, Judge discusses the intense physical demands that ultimately kept him from becoming Kratos on screen. Today's show covers some potentially huge developments across James Bond, ThunderCats, God of War, and the future of Hollywood. Florence Pugh potentially entering the world of 007 could be the first sign that Amazon has much bigger plans for James Bond beyond the next theatrical movie. We're also discussing whether ThunderCats can finally escape development and make it to the big screen, Tom Cruise's optimism about the future of theatrical movies, and why Christopher Judge ultimately decided against playing Kratos in Amazon's live-action God of War. #JamesBond #FlorencePugh #Moneypenny #Bond26 #007 #ThunderCats #AdamWingard #TomCruise #GodOfWar #Kratos #ChristopherJudge #DaveBautista #Marvel #AvengersDoomsday #MovieNews #KristianHarloffShow SPONSORS: CASH APP:  Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/76rlxe00 #CashAppPod.   • Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

With **James Gunn and Peter Safran** moving forward with a new DC Universe, the transition away from the previous DCEU continues to generate discussion. Was DC's handling of Cavill a mistake? Could Gadot ever return somewhere down the road, or has the DCU officially closed the door on her Wonder Woman? Plus, could **WWE superstar Cody Rhodes** actually be joining Marvel Studios' **X-Men reboot**?

Today's show is headlined by the future of Star Wars and the first major clues about what the galaxy looks like after The Rise of Skywalker.
