According to Variety, Steven Yeun has joined the cast of the Last Airbender animated movie. No details have been revealed as to whom Yeun will be playing in the movie, but Legend of Korra fans know that Yeun is the original voice of the first Avatar, Wan.

We don’t know what the story for the movie is going to be yet, but knowing Avatar and all its spiritual mumbo jumbo, it’s possible that Aang will also try to find some kind of connection with Wan. Maybe the villain could even be someone that Wan has personally clashed with—making them a major threat.

Besides Yeun, the movie also has a cast which includes Dave Bautista, Eric Nam, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, and Roman Zaragoza.

It’s not clear when Avatar Studios is going to give fans a first look at the movie, but if it’s aiming for a release in January of next year, it’s possible we could get a trailer around August. Maybe they can also drop a preview for the next Avatar series following Legend of Korra—Seven Havens.

The Avatar: The Last Airbender animated sequel film is set to release in theaters in January of 2026.

According to THR, Yeun won’t be appearing as the Sentry in the upcoming Thunderbolts movie. The reason for Yeun’s exit is said to be because the production had led to numerous delays thanks to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strike, and Yeun’s schedule won’t allow him to do the film.

The Sentry is relatively a newer character in the comics compared to the likes of Iron Man and Captain America. He is said to have the power of ‘a million exploding suns’ but the catch is that nobody remembers him, and his alter ego Bob Reynolds is the only one who has memories of being the Sentry.

It’s kind of like a Fight Club-meets-Superman kind of situation; and it would have been the Thunderbolts’ mission to try and stop him in the film—well, that and securing adamantium in the newly discovered Celestial being that popped out of the ocean way back in Eternals.

We don’t know how Marvel is going to deal with Yeun’s exit (or if the exit is even really happening), but I can imagine them either recasting the role or holding out and changing the character into someone else entirely.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, I think everyone is more excited to see Yeun enter the MCU as compared to a fan-favorite character from the ‘00s that hasn’t really made a dent in the popular culture.

Thunderbolts is expected to release on July 25, 2025.

Check out the first look at Omni-Man voiced by J.K. Simmons:

The realms will tremble under the weight of the Viltrum Empire. Omni-Man approaches our timeline.

Anyone who’s seen Invincible will know that a lot of Omni-Man’s moves are drawn from scenes from the series; from him holding up a person to run through a train, to him squeezing a head open till it explodes. They even have him punching someone relentlessly to the ground—like he does with Invincible in the show.

I doubt they added the “Think, Mark, think!” meme to it though.

Besides the scenes from the show, we should expect Omni-Man to play just like Superman, what with his flight abilities and speed. It’s just a question of how the game is going to differentiate him from another upcoming hero Homelander (The Boys) who essentially has the same ‘evil Superman’ schtick. I guess the main difference is that Omni-Man actually is fighting for something other than himself, while Homelander is a crazy sociopath.

Omni-Man is expected to launch with the incoming Kombat Pack which is set to come out this November. Mortal Kombat 1 is now available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Thanks to Amazon, we have a new teaser, and it features the return of Allen the Alien (Seth Rogen) with some meta update from Steven Yeun reprising Invincible. Check this out:

Welcome to Burger Mart! Enjoy a hot meal along with an update on Season 2 of INVINCIBLE. Featuring Steven Yeun as the voice of Invincible and Seth Rogen as the voice of Allen The Alien.

The first season had ended with the shocking reveal that Mark’s dad, Omni-Man, was actually an alien working toward the domination of Earth, and he ends up killing hundreds in his climactic battle with Mark.

Though the finale did have Omni-Man thinking about his family for once, I think the second season could do without him for a while. Then again, I wouldn’t expect him to be absent for the entire season, seeing that his relationship with Mark is also what kind of makes the series interesting. I’m just curious what kind of story we should expect for the next season; hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for a proper teaser.

No specific release date has been announced for invincible Season 2, but you can watch out for the premiere on Amazon Prime Video sometime later this year. In the meantime, you can check out the complete first season now streaming.

Here’s the red band trailer:

Just in case you didn’t know, Vox Machina is based on a D&D campaign from Critical Role. If you’re not familiar with CR, the show is a weekly gathering of voice actors who get together and play Dungeons & Dragons; and the show is hosted by Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer.

For The Legend of Vox Machina, the voice actors from CR were actually brought back to reprise their characters from the campaign. Even Mercer the DM gets his own character in the series.

With Harmonquest being a show that animated a recorded D&D session, Vox kind of removes the meta element and tries to extract a pure fantasy story out of a campaign. I don’t expect there to be any jokes about rolling dice or getting critical hits, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the series had a small wink and nod here and there. If anything, there will probably be a lot of Easter Eggs for Critical Role fans.

Here’s the official synopsis:

They’re rowdy, they’re ragtag, they’re misfits turned mercenaries for hire. Vox Machina is more interested in easy money and cheap ale than actually protecting the realm. But when the kingdom is threatened by evil, this boisterous crew realizes that they are the only ones capable of restoring justice. What began as a simple payday is now the origin story behind Exandria’s newest heroes.

The Legend of Vox Machina premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Jan. 28.

Rogen posted this on Twitter with the caption following, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… Aug 11 2023 (Leo takes notes like I used to)”:

Though Leonardo is portrayed as the leader of the group most of the time, it looks like this reboot’s take will really lean in on his ‘teenager’ side, complete with high-school-esque note-taking.

In the note, we have Leo possibly researching the ‘ooze’ that led to his (and his brothers’) mutation, and we also have some nods to the Turtles’ human friend April O’Neil. We also have some kind of clue with the Turtrles’ dynamic, as Leo jots down that he still has no idea what Donnie is good at (with Mikey good with drama, and Raph good at Math).

Of course, no teenage boy’s notebook is complete without a drawing of a sword surrounded by burning words Honor and Loyalty.

Though TMNT is an old franchise, it surely is interesting to see how it manages to have a multi-generational appeal; that’s why the cartoons get rebooted once every few years—so that kids can always have a version of the Turtles that is theirs. Let’s hope that Rogen and his team will just be focused on bringing some fun Turtle Action to a new generation of kids rather than focus on pandering to an old fanbase that has a tendency to take things way too seriously.

…at least that’s my opinion.
