As we head into the week, we’ve already got a lot to look forward to, considering that both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Stranger Things are releasing their first episodes this Friday, May 27. In the meantime, we have updates from across the universe, from the MCU’s Ms. Marvel to Star Trek. Onward, fans and comrades!
Last Voyage of the Demeter
Deadline reports Last Voyage of the Demeter has been pushed back from a planned January 27, 2023 release date to August 11, 2023.
Star Trek 4
Appearing as a guest on the BBC’s Radio X (via Comic Book), Karl Urban confirmed he still hasn’t heard an update about Star Trek 4.
I have heard that it is happening, but I’ve been hearing that for the last three years. All I know is they are developing it, they’re writing a script, and I know 100 percent that we all want to come back and do it. So I think it’s all just a matter of logistics and timing at this point.
