The "Street-Level" MCU: Daredevil and Spider-Man
The biggest buzz this week surrounds the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 on Disney+ (debuting March 24).

Even more exciting is the confirmed return of Jessica Jones, who is set to team up with Matt Murdock in a major crossover.On the theatrical side, the first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day (releasing July 31, 2026) has finally dropped. It gives us our first high-definition look at Peter Parker’s new adult life, living in isolation after the events of No Way Home. Fans are also buzzing about Sadie Sink’s mystery role and the return of Michael Mando as Scorpion.
