Produced by [[Elridge House Productions]] and [[Blackveil Studios]], the series is an original production inspired by [[Superman]] rather than an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character [[Superboy]]. Brow serves as [[showrunner]], wrote or co-wrote six of the eight episodes and directed the [[series premiere]], while Goodwin directed the remaining seven episodes.<br /> <br /> The series stars [[Aramis Knight]] as Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who formerly operated as the superhero Superboy. Eight years after an invasion of South City resulted in the deaths of his adoptive parents, Alex has abandoned his public identity and lives anonymously in Chicago. He is forced to confront his former life when extraterrestrial signals, covert organizations and figures connected to his biological family begin searching for him.<br /> <br /> The ensemble cast also includes [[Rebecca Ferguson]], [[Joel Kinnaman]], [[Lee Pace]], [[Christopher Judge]], [[Xolo Maridueña]], [[Dylan Minnette]], [[Oscar Isaac]], [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Morena Baccarin]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] and [[Parminder Nagra]].<br /> <br /> Brow conceived the series as a serialized science-fiction drama beginning after Alex's initial career as Superboy rather than as a conventional superhero [[origin story]]. The first season consists of eight episodes and is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026, with episodes released weekly through November 20. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> {{TOC limit|3}}<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> <br /> In 1990, South City residents Jack and Lisa Singh discover an extraterrestrial infant inside a spacecraft that crashes near their home. Concealing the circumstances of his arrival, they adopt the child and raise him as their son, Alex. As he grows older, Alex develops superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy.<br /> <br /> At the age of 17, Alex is confronted by Supreme Marshal Varyx, ruler of the Veyari Dominion, who identifies him as Alexander Val'Aeth, the surviving heir to the destroyed Aethari civilization. When Alex refuses to leave Earth, Varyx launches an invasion of South City. Alex repels the attack, but Jack and Lisa are killed and Kael, the Aethari guardian who brought him to Earth, disappears.<br /> <br /> Eight years later, Alex lives anonymously in Chicago and has largely abandoned both his abilities and his identity as Superboy. His past resurfaces after an ancient extraterrestrial structure is uncovered beneath the Arctic and the secretive organization Obsidian reveals that it has monitored him since his arrival on Earth. As Obsidian, the rival organization Helix and forces connected to the Veyari Dominion search for Aethari technology, Alex must uncover the truth about his biological family, the destruction of Aethara and the authority he has inherited.<br /> <br /> ==Cast and characters==<br /> <br /> ===Main===<br /> <br /> * [[Aramis Knight]] as '''Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy''', an Aethari who was brought to Earth as an infant and raised by Jack and Lisa Singh.

Brow said his interest in creating film and television originated during childhood, when watching movies encouraged him to imagine original characters, worlds and stories of his own. As he became more familiar with the practical demands of screen production, he began working on smaller concepts and scripts before attempting a full television series. The earliest version of ''Superboy'' was conceived as a story about an original superhero inspired by [[Superman]], rather than an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character of the same name. Brow later decided that the central figure would be more compelling as a younger hero whose personal identity and emotional development were as important as his abilities, leading to the creation of Alex Singh.<br /> <br /> The concept gradually expanded from a comparatively straightforward superhero premise into a serialized science-fiction drama involving Alex's extraterrestrial origins, his adoptive family, the destruction of South City and the consequences of abandoning his identity as Superboy. Brow developed the series with the intention of presenting its mythology from the perspective of a protagonist who already possessed his powers and had previously attempted to become a hero, rather than depicting a conventional origin story. He described the intended tone as comparable to &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot;, referring to the series' darker subject matter and approach to superhero institutions while retaining a younger target audience.<br /> <br /> Before full production began, Brow mapped the story as an eight-episode season in which each installment would explore a smaller individual theme while contributing to a single overarching narrative. He said the aim was to create eight distinct stories rather than treat the season solely as an extended film divided into episodes, although the plots, character developments and mysteries would remain closely connected. Brow began writing the scripts before the production and marketing plans had been finalized, and later recalled initially placing a single period in an otherwise blank document to make beginning the writing process feel less intimidating. He described writing as the most difficult and time-consuming stage of creating the series, requiring the initial drafts to be repeatedly refined before attention could shift toward production and promotion. Development formally began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining as a co-producer as the scope of the project increased.<br /> <br /> ===Development===<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' was created by Brow and developed for television by Goodwin. Brow serves as showrunner, while [[Naomi Elridge]], [[Jordan Brackley]], [[Samira Collins]] and [[Devon Kaye]] serve as executive producers. [[Mallory Finch]], [[Andre Huerta]], [[Tasha Lei]] and [[Matthew Doran]] serve as producers.<br /> <br /> The series was developed as a serialized superhero and science-fiction drama rather than a predominantly episodic program. Brow and Goodwin planned the first season as a continuous eight-episode narrative exploring Alex's relationship with Earth, his biological heritage and the consequences of his earlier confrontation with the Veyari Dominion. Although each episode was designed around its own smaller theme and dramatic conflict, the individual stories contribute to the season's central mystery.<br /> <br /> Rather than beginning with Alex discovering his abilities, the series opens after he has already operated publicly as Superboy and experienced a major personal loss. Brow said this approach allowed the story to focus on a character who understood the physical demands of heroism but no longer believed he could endure its emotional consequences. The present-day narrative was set eight years after the destruction of South City, allowing Alex to have established a new life while demonstrating that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the series premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes and also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to expand gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery centered on Alex's life in Chicago before developing into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow, with Lena Cross and Jackson Gold also contributing to the first season. The writers determined the season's conclusion before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would later be revisited. Identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] were established as the season's principal themes. Alex's human name represents the life created for him by Jack and Lisa, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the ancestry, authority and expectations imposed upon him by his biological family. The writers did not regard either identity as false, instead constructing Alex's conflict around the attempts of other characters and institutions to define which identity should take precedence. The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. Brow and Cross wrote them as a single continuous story divided at the principal emotional turning point in Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor capable of conveying Alex's physical power while also portraying the character as emotionally exhausted, isolated and reluctant to return to public life. Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training in preparation for the role. [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and [[motion capture|performance capture]]. His physical performance was retained wherever possible, with visual effects used to increase the character's scale and augment his armor. [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few people who continues to view Alex primarily as a person rather than as a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix and places him on a different path from Alex.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said the characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he was too young to retain. The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels, allowing scenes to move between different sections without relying entirely on digital extensions. Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city and its riverfront. The Arctic sequences were produced using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures, virtual production and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production designed Alex's flight to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration. Goodwin said the approach was intended to communicate Alex's emotional state through his physical movement before it was expressed in dialogue. The two-part finale formed the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections. Obsidian technology was designed to appear practical and military, while Helix equipment incorporates visibly modified extraterrestrial components. Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it a sense of weight and allowing it to interact physically with Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]] composed the score for ''Superboy''. They developed a combination of orchestral, choral and electronic music intended to represent the human and extraterrestrial aspects of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instrumentation and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting the parts of his identity that he had rejected.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures, metallic percussion and fluid melodic structures. The Veyari Dominion is accompanied by lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster featuring the series' logo was released in June 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Pre-premiere interview special===<br /> <br /> A live promotional program titled ''Superboy Interview — Before Premiere Special'' featured Brow discussing the origins, development and intended future of the series. Brow said his interest in storytelling began during childhood, when watching films inspired him to create characters, worlds and stories of his own. After recognizing the practical difficulties involved in producing film and television, he began experimenting with smaller projects before attempting a full series.<br /> <br /> Brow emphasized that ''Superboy'' was an original production inspired by Superman rather than an adaptation of the DC Comics character. He explained that the concept initially centered on a Superman-inspired hero before he decided that the protagonist would be more compelling as a younger person. Brow declined to disclose significant plot details, but said Alex possessed an extensive history that would begin to be explored in the premiere and described the series' worldbuilding as unconventional.<br /> <br /> He characterized the tone as &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot; and said the eight episodes were designed to explore smaller individual themes while collectively forming a single overarching narrative. Brow described writing the scripts as the most difficult and time-consuming part of development, though he also identified writing and marketing as his favorite aspects of production. He recalled beginning the first script by typing a single period into an empty document to make the writing process feel easier to begin.<br /> <br /> Brow said the marketing campaign was intended to reveal little of the story while gradually building anticipation. During the interview, he indicated that the first trailer was being targeted for July; it was subsequently scheduled for release on August 2.<br /> <br /> Discussing the finale, Brow said it would not resemble a traditional season finale and argued that the greatest sense of finality should be reserved for the eventual conclusion of the series. He nevertheless described the episode as &quot;badass&quot; and said it was in a strong creative position while being written. Brow said he hoped to produce four or five seasons, but added that if the series ended after its first season, he wanted it to be remembered as a strong piece of storytelling.<br /> <br /> The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The first season consists of eight episodes, which will be released weekly through November 20.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

The present-day narrative was set eight years after the destruction of South City, allowing Alex to have established a new life while demonstrating that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the series premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes and also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to expand gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery centered on Alex's life in Chicago before developing into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow, with Lena Cross and Jackson Gold also contributing to the first season. The writers determined the season's conclusion before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would later be revisited.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, and the fifth episode, &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;. He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Gold wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Cross.<br /> <br /> Identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] were established as the season's principal themes. Alex's human name represents the life created for him by Jack and Lisa, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the ancestry, authority and expectations imposed upon him by his biological family. The writers did not regard either identity as false, instead constructing Alex's conflict around the attempts of other characters and institutions to define which identity should take precedence.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors, studies and contains extraterrestrial threats but remains internally divided over whether Alex should be protected, observed or controlled. Helix takes a more openly exploitative approach, seeking to obtain Aethari and Veyari technology regardless of its effects on Alex or others.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears in the premiere but remains largely absent during the middle of the season. His influence continues through the consequences of the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the possibility of his return. The writers used this structure to establish Varyx as a continuing threat without positioning him as the direct antagonist of every episode.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. Brow and Cross wrote them as a single continuous story divided at the principal emotional turning point in Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while the two finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor capable of conveying Alex's physical power while also portraying the character as emotionally exhausted, isolated and reluctant to return to public life. Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training in preparation for the role.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and [[motion capture|performance capture]]. His physical performance was retained wherever possible, with visual effects used to increase the character's scale and augment his armor.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few people who continues to view Alex primarily as a person rather than as a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix and places him on a different path from Alex.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said the characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels, allowing scenes to move between different sections without relying entirely on digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city and its riverfront. The Arctic sequences were produced using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures, virtual production and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production designed Alex's flight to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration. Goodwin said the approach was intended to communicate Alex's emotional state through his physical movement before it was expressed in dialogue.<br /> <br /> The two-part finale formed the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections. Obsidian technology was designed to appear practical and military, while Helix equipment incorporates visibly modified extraterrestrial components.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it a sense of weight and allowing it to interact physically with Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consists of a practical suit enhanced through visual effects. Judge's performance was retained as the foundation of the character, while digital effects increase his apparent size and add moving armor sections and crown structures.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created using a combination of practical set pieces, virtual production and computer-generated environments. The alien environments were designed to appear ancient but operational rather than abandoned or ruined.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]] composed the score for ''Superboy''. They developed a combination of orchestral, choral and electronic music intended to represent the human and extraterrestrial aspects of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instrumentation and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting the parts of his identity that he had rejected.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures, metallic percussion and fluid melodic structures. The Veyari Dominion is accompanied by lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster featuring the series' logo was released ahead of the premiere.<br /> <br /> ===Pre-premiere interview special===<br /> <br /> A live promotional program titled ''Superboy Interview — Before Premiere Special'' featured Brow discussing the origins, development and intended future of the series. Brow said his interest in storytelling began during childhood, when watching films inspired him to create characters, worlds and stories of his own. After recognizing the practical difficulties involved in producing film and television, he began experimenting with smaller projects before attempting a full series.<br /> <br /> Brow emphasized that ''Superboy'' was an original production inspired by Superman rather than an adaptation of the DC Comics character. He explained that the concept initially centered on a Superman-inspired hero before he decided that the protagonist would be more compelling as a younger person. Brow declined to disclose significant plot details, but said Alex possessed an extensive history that would begin to be explored in the premiere and described the series' worldbuilding as unconventional.<br /> <br /> He characterized the tone as &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot; and said the eight episodes were designed to explore smaller individual themes while collectively forming a single overarching narrative. Brow described writing the scripts as the most difficult and time-consuming part of development, though he also identified writing and marketing as his favorite aspects of production. He recalled beginning the first script by typing a single period into an empty document to make the writing process feel easier to begin.<br /> <br /> Brow said the marketing campaign was intended to reveal little of the story while gradually building anticipation. During the interview, he indicated that the first trailer was being targeted for July; it was subsequently scheduled for release on August 2.<br /> <br /> Discussing the finale, Brow said it would not resemble a traditional season finale and argued that the greatest sense of finality should be reserved for the eventual conclusion of the series. He nevertheless described the episode as &quot;badass&quot; and said it was in a strong creative position while being written. Brow said he hoped to produce four or five seasons, but added that if the series ended after its first season, he wanted it to be remembered as a strong piece of storytelling.<br /> <br /> The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The first season consists of eight episodes, which will be released weekly through November 20.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

developing the ideas that would eventually become ''Superboy'' after years of experimenting with smaller storytelling projects. Brow said his interest in creating film and television originated during childhood, when watching movies encouraged him to imagine original characters, worlds and stories of his own. As he became more familiar with the practical demands of screen production, he began working on smaller concepts and scripts before attempting a full television series. The earliest version of ''Superboy'' was conceived as a story about an original superhero inspired by [[Superman]], rather than an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character of the same name. Brow later decided that the central figure would be more compelling as a younger hero whose personal identity and emotional development were as important as his abilities, leading to the creation of Alex Singh. The concept gradually expanded from a comparatively straightforward superhero premise into a serialized science-fiction drama involving Alex's extraterrestrial origins, his adoptive family, the destruction of South City and the consequences of abandoning his identity as Superboy. Brow developed the series with the intention of presenting its mythology from the perspective of a protagonist who already possessed his powers and had previously attempted to become a hero, rather than depicting a conventional origin story. He described the intended tone as comparable to &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot;, referring to the series' darker subject matter and approach to superhero institutions while retaining a younger target audience. Before full production began, Brow mapped the story as an eight-episode season in which each installment would explore a smaller individual theme while contributing to a single overarching narrative. He said the aim was to create eight distinct stories rather than treat the season solely as an extended film divided into episodes, although the plots, character developments and mysteries would remain closely connected. Brow began writing the scripts before the production and marketing plans had been finalized, and later recalled initially placing a single period in an otherwise blank document to make beginning the writing process feel less intimidating. He described writing as the most difficult and time-consuming stage of creating the series, requiring the initial drafts to be repeatedly refined before attention could shift toward production and promotion. Development formally began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining as a co-producer as the scope of the project increased.<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026. [[Alex Brow]], who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions. Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale. The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other. The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes. Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy. [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified. [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix. [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline. The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions. Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke. Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect. Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack. The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> === Pre-premiere interview special ===<br /> A live promotional program titled ''Superboy Interview — Before Premiere Special'' featured Brow discussing the creation of the series, its production and his plans for its future. Brow said his interest in storytelling began during childhood, when films inspired him to create worlds and stories of his own. Although he later recognized the difficulty of producing film and television, he continued by beginning with smaller projects before developing ''Superboy''.<br /> <br /> Brow emphasized that the series was not an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character, but an original production inspired by [[Superman]]. He explained that the concept initially centered on a Superman-inspired hero before he decided that a younger protagonist would make the premise more interesting. Brow declined to reveal significant plot details, but said Alex Singh had an extensive backstory that would begin to be explored in the premiere and described the series' worldbuilding as unconventional. He characterized its tone as &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot;.<br /> <br /> Discussing the eight-episode structure, Brow said each installment was designed around a smaller individual theme while also contributing to one continuous story. He described writing the scripts as the most difficult and time-consuming part of production, though he identified both writing and marketing as his favorite aspects of the process. Brow recalled beginning the first script by typing a single period so that the document would no longer appear empty. He said the marketing campaign was intended to reveal little of the story while gradually building anticipation. During the interview, he said the first trailer was being targeted for July; it was later scheduled for August 2.<br /> <br /> Brow acknowledged that creating an original superhero series carried additional pressure because there was no pre-existing comic-book storyline to adapt. He said his main hope for the premiere was that viewers would enjoy it and stated that the finale was in a strong position while he was writing it. Although he declined to reveal details, Brow said the episode would not resemble a traditional season finale, arguing that the largest sense of finality should be reserved for the eventual series finale, while describing the episode itself as &quot;badass&quot;. Brow said he hoped to produce four or five seasons, but added that if the series ended after its first season, he wanted it to be remembered as a strong piece of storytelling.<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026. Its eight episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> == Reception ==<br /> <br /> === Critical response ===<br /> The series premiere received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its performances, emotional weight, ambitious scale and cinematic presentation. Particular attention was given to the lead performance, with reviewers commending the portrayal of Alex Singh as a guarded and emotionally complex protagonist rather than a conventional superhero archetype. Critics also responded favourably to the episode's darker tone, visual effects, action sequences and gradual introduction of the series' wider mythology, while the relationships between the principal characters were described as providing a strong emotional foundation for the season. Several reviewers compared its production values favourably with those of contemporary superhero television series. Some criticism was directed toward the amount of exposition, the introduction of numerous concepts and supporting characters within a short period, and occasional pacing issues between the character-driven and action-heavy sequences. Despite these concerns, the premiere was widely regarded as an effective and promising beginning to the series.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

Production ==<br /> <br /> === Background ===<br /> [[File:AlexBrowImage2026 img.png|thumb]]<br /> [[Alex Brow]] began developing the ideas that would eventually become ''Superboy'' after years of experimenting with smaller storytelling projects. Brow said his interest in creating film and television originated during childhood, when watching movies encouraged him to imagine original characters, worlds and stories of his own. As he became more familiar with the practical demands of screen production, he began working on smaller concepts and scripts before attempting a full television series. The earliest version of ''Superboy'' was conceived as a story about an original superhero inspired by [[Superman]], rather than an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character of the same name. Brow later decided that the central figure would be more compelling as a younger hero whose personal identity and emotional development were as important as his abilities, leading to the creation of Alex Singh. The concept gradually expanded from a comparatively straightforward superhero premise into a serialized science-fiction drama involving Alex's extraterrestrial origins, his adoptive family, the destruction of South City and the consequences of abandoning his identity as Superboy. Brow developed the series with the intention of presenting its mythology from the perspective of a protagonist who already possessed his powers and had previously attempted to become a hero, rather than depicting a conventional origin story. He described the intended tone as comparable to &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot;, referring to the series' darker subject matter and approach to superhero institutions while retaining a younger target audience. Before full production began, Brow mapped the story as an eight-episode season in which each installment would explore a smaller individual theme while contributing to a single overarching narrative. He said the aim was to create eight distinct stories rather than treat the season solely as an extended film divided into episodes, although the plots, character developments and mysteries would remain closely connected. Brow began writing the scripts before the production and marketing plans had been finalized, and later recalled initially placing a single period in an otherwise blank document to make beginning the writing process feel less intimidating. He described writing as the most difficult and time-consuming stage of creating the series, requiring the initial drafts to be repeatedly refined before attention could shift toward production and promotion. Development formally began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining as a co-producer as the scope of the project increased.<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026. [[Alex Brow]], who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions. Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale. The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other. The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes. Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy. [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified. [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix. [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline. The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions. Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke. Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect. Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack. The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> === Pre-premiere interview special ===<br /> A live promotional program titled ''Superboy Interview — Before Premiere Special'' featured Brow discussing the creation of the series, its production and his plans for its future. Brow said his interest in storytelling began during childhood, when films inspired him to create worlds and stories of his own. Although he later recognized the difficulty of producing film and television, he continued by beginning with smaller projects before developing ''Superboy''.<br /> <br /> Brow emphasized that the series was not an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character, but an original production inspired by [[Superman]]. He explained that the concept initially centered on a Superman-inspired hero before he decided that a younger protagonist would make the premise more interesting. Brow declined to reveal significant plot details, but said Alex Singh had an extensive backstory that would begin to be explored in the premiere and described the series' worldbuilding as unconventional.

He said his main hope for the premiere was that viewers would enjoy it and stated that the finale was in a strong position while he was writing it. Although he declined to reveal details, Brow said the episode would not resemble a traditional season finale, arguing that the largest sense of finality should be reserved for the eventual series finale, while describing the episode itself as &quot;badass&quot;. Brow said he hoped to produce four or five seasons, but added that if the series ended after its first season, he wanted it to be remembered as a strong piece of storytelling.<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026. Its eight episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> == Reception ==<br /> <br /> === Critical response ===<br /> The series premiere received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its performances, emotional weight, ambitious scale and cinematic presentation. Particular attention was given to the lead performance, with reviewers commending the portrayal of Alex Singh as a guarded and emotionally complex protagonist rather than a conventional superhero archetype. Critics also responded favourably to the episode's darker tone, visual effects, action sequences and gradual introduction of the series' wider mythology, while the relationships between the principal characters were described as providing a strong emotional foundation for the season. Several reviewers compared its production values favourably with those of contemporary superhero television series.

Here I was, this {{convert|6|ft|3|in|m}}, {{convert|190|lb|kg}}, lanky kid from [[Chickasha, Oklahoma]], not knowing how to begin being a woman. So I saw documentaries about transsexuals, I lost twenty-five pounds, and I put on prosthetic boobs and hips to become that character. There were times I'd look in the mirror and wonder, 'What am I doing to my life here? My dad is going to ''kill'' me!' But the reason I went into acting was to be able to play parts as complicated and important as this one. In playing a transsexual, I got the chance to help change people's perspective about other people, and that is a powerful thing. I'm playing a swashbuckling bandit in my next film, but I'll always be proud of ''Soldier's Girl.''&amp;nbsp;&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;interviewmag&quot;&gt;{{cite news |author=Staff report |date=August 2004 |url=http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_7_34/ai_n6125849/ |title=Lee Pace |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070524134111/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_7_34/ai_n6125849 |archive-date=May 24, 2007 |work=[[Interview (magazine)|Interview]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> <br /> Pace won a [[Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor]] and was nominated for several other awards, including a [[Golden Globe Award]], for his work in this film.<br /> <br /> In 2006, Pace starred in [[Tarsem Singh]]'s ''[[The Fall (2006 film)|The Fall]]''.

Production ==<br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026. [[Alex Brow]], who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions. Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale. The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other. The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes. Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy. [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified. [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix. [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline. The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions. Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke. Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect. Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack. The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> === Pre-premiere interview special ===<br /> A live promotional program titled ''Superboy Interview — Before Premiere Special'' featured Brow discussing the creation of the series, its production and his plans for its future. Brow said his interest in storytelling began during childhood, when films inspired him to create worlds and stories of his own. Although he later recognized the difficulty of producing film and television, he continued by beginning with smaller projects before developing ''Superboy''.<br /> <br /> Brow emphasized that the series was not an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character, but an original production inspired by [[Superman]]. He explained that the concept initially centered on a Superman-inspired hero before he decided that a younger protagonist would make the premise more interesting. Brow declined to reveal significant plot details, but said Alex Singh had an extensive backstory that would begin to be explored in the premiere and described the series' worldbuilding as unconventional. He characterized its tone as &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot;.<br /> <br /> Discussing the eight-episode structure, Brow said each installment was designed around a smaller individual theme while also contributing to one continuous story. He described writing the scripts as the most difficult and time-consuming part of production, though he identified both writing and marketing as his favorite aspects of the process. Brow recalled beginning the first script by typing a single period so that the document would no longer appear empty. He said the marketing campaign was intended to reveal little of the story while gradually building anticipation. During the interview, he said the first trailer was being targeted for July; it was later scheduled for August 2.<br /> <br /> Brow acknowledged that creating an original superhero series carried additional pressure because there was no pre-existing comic-book storyline to adapt. He said his main hope for the premiere was that viewers would enjoy it and stated that the finale was in a strong position while he was writing it. Although he declined to reveal details, Brow said the episode would not resemble a traditional season finale, arguing that the largest sense of finality should be reserved for the eventual series finale, while describing the episode itself as &quot;badass&quot;. Brow said he hoped to produce four or five seasons, but added that if the series ended after its first season, he wanted it to be remembered as a strong piece of storytelling.<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026. Its eight episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> == Reception ==<br /> <br /> === Critical response ===<br /> The series premiere received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its performances, emotional weight, ambitious scale and cinematic presentation. Particular attention was given to the lead performance, with reviewers commending the portrayal of Alex Singh as a guarded and emotionally complex protagonist rather than a conventional superhero archetype. Critics also responded favourably to the episode's darker tone, visual effects, action sequences and gradual introduction of the series' wider mythology, while the relationships between the principal characters were described as providing a strong emotional foundation for the season. Several reviewers compared its production values favourably with those of contemporary superhero television series. Some criticism was directed toward the amount of exposition, the introduction of numerous concepts and supporting characters within a short period, and occasional pacing issues between the character-driven and action-heavy sequences. Despite these concerns, the premiere was widely regarded as an effective and promising beginning to the series.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

Production ==<br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026.

Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale. The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other. The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology.

Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes. Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy. [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified. [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix. [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth.

Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline. The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal.

Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions. Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke. Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect. Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack. The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> === Pre-premiere interview special ===<br /> A live promotional program titled ''Superboy Interview — Before Premiere Special'' featured Brow discussing the development, release strategy and intended future of the series. Brow said his interest in storytelling began as a child after watching films that made him want to create his own, though he later realized the practical difficulty of producing film and television and began with smaller projects. He stressed that ''Superboy'' was not an adaptation of the [[DC Comics]] character, but an original series inspired by [[Superman]], explaining that the concept began as a Superman-inspired hero before being reworked around a younger protagonist. Brow declined to reveal plot details, but described Alex Singh as a character with an extensive history that would begin unfolding in the premiere and characterized the tone as &quot;''The Boys'' but for 13+&quot;. He said the season was structured so that each episode would explore a smaller theme while contributing to a single continuing story.<br /> <br /> During the special, Brow announced that the first two episodes would be released together on October 2, with the remaining six episodes following weekly. He described scriptwriting as the most difficult and time-consuming part of production, while identifying both writing and marketing as his favorite aspects of the process. Brow said the campaign was intended to reveal little while steadily building interest, and initially indicated that the first trailer was being targeted for July; it was later scheduled for August 2. He also acknowledged the pressure involved in creating an original superhero property without pre-existing comics to adapt.<br /> <br /> Discussing the finale, Brow said it would not resemble a traditional large-scale season finale, arguing that a definitive sense of culmination should be reserved for the eventual series finale, but described the episode as &quot;badass&quot;. He said his preferred plan was for the series to run for four or five seasons, while adding that the first season was intended to remain worthwhile as a complete piece of storytelling if no continuation was produced. Brow later stated that [[Netflix]] approached him about a second season the day before the premiere after viewing seven of the eight episodes, and that he immediately agreed to continue the series. He concluded by saying the production had been conceived as an original story inspired by the &quot;spirit of Superman&quot; while remaining distinct from it, and that the principal goal was to tell a strong story regardless of whether viewers embraced or debated the series.<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026, with the first two episodes released simultaneously. The remaining six episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 13.<br /> <br /> == Reception ==<br /> <br /> === Critical response ===<br /> The two-episode series premiere received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its performances, emotional weight, ambitious scale and cinematic presentation. Particular attention was given to the lead performance, with reviewers commending the portrayal of Alex Singh as a guarded and emotionally complex protagonist rather than a conventional superhero archetype. Critics also responded favourably to the premiere's darker tone, visual effects, action sequences and gradual introduction of the series' wider mythology, while the relationships between the principal characters were described as providing a strong emotional foundation for the season. Several reviewers compared its production values favourably with those of contemporary superhero television series and considered the second episode a confident expansion of the world established in the opening instalment. Some criticism was directed toward the amount of exposition, the introduction of numerous concepts and supporting characters within a short period, and occasional pacing issues between the character-driven and action-heavy sequences. Despite these concerns, the premiere was widely regarded as an effective and promising beginning to the series.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

Production ==<br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026. [[Alex Brow]], who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions. Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale. The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other. The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes. Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy. [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified. [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix. [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline. The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions. Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke. Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect. Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack. The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026.

Particular attention was given to the lead performance, with reviewers commending the portrayal of Alex Singh as a guarded and emotionally complex protagonist rather than a conventional superhero archetype. Critics also responded favourably to the premiere's darker tone, visual effects, action sequences and gradual introduction of the series' wider mythology, while the relationships between the principal characters were described as providing a strong emotional foundation for the season. Several reviewers compared its production values favourably with those of contemporary superhero television series and considered the second episode a confident expansion of the world established in the opening instalment.

Although the series has not been formally renewed, several sources have reported that first-season showrunner [[Alex Brow]] has entered discussions to return for a second season, which is expected to consist of eight episodes.

Rather than restructure the complete story to fit within eight installments, the writers developed the remaining material as a potential second part that could be produced as another season if the series continued.

It is expected to be based on the [[DC Comics]] character [[Superboy]] and continue the story of [[Alex Singh (Superboy)|Alex Singh / Superboy]], portrayed by [[Aramis Knight]]. [[Alex Brow]], who created and served as showrunner of the first season, is reportedly set to return in the same capacity.<br /> <br /> Reports of a second season emerged in July 2026, several months before the scheduled premiere of the [[Superboy season 1|first season]] on October 2. Although Netflix and the series' production companies had not formally announced a renewal, multiple sources described the reports as highly reliable and said that preliminary development had already begun. The season is expected to consist of eight episodes and premiere at some point in 2027.<br /> <br /> No story details or additional cast members have been officially confirmed. Several performers from the first season are expected to return depending on the events of its finale.<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> The season is expected to consist of eight episodes.&lt;ref name=&quot;EightEpisodes&quot; /&gt; Episode titles, writers, directors, and release dates have not been announced.<br /> <br /> ==Cast and characters==<br /> <br /> ===Expected===<br /> * [[Aramis Knight]] as [[Alex Singh (Superboy)|Alex Singh / Superboy]]: A young human–Kryptonian hybrid who possesses superhuman abilities. Knight is expected to return as the series' lead, although Netflix has not formally announced the second-season cast.&lt;ref name=&quot;KnightExpected&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Several members of the first season's ensemble could also return, including [[Rebecca Ferguson]], [[Joel Kinnaman]], [[Lee Pace]], [[Christopher Judge]], [[Xolo Maridueña]], [[Dylan Minnette]], [[Oscar Isaac]], [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Morena Baccarin]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Their involvement is expected to depend on the events of the first-season finale.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCastReports&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The characters potentially continuing into the second season include Director Elena Cross, Commander Mason Reed, Kael, Supreme Marshal Varyx, Jackson Reyes, Ethan Miller, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth, Dr. Imani Shaw, Maya Torres, Marcus Hale, and Alex's parents, Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> <br /> ===Development===<br /> The first season of ''Superboy'' was created by [[Alex Brow]] and developed by [[Freddie Goodwin]] for Netflix. The eight-episode season was produced by Elridge House Productions and Blackveil Studios and scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;SeasonOne&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Discussions concerning a second season reportedly began during post-production on the first. Netflix was said to be encouraged by internal responses to the completed episodes, early promotional material, and the series' potential to continue beyond its initial storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDiscussions&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In July 2026, reports emerged that a second season was in active development, despite Netflix not having publicly renewed the series. The reports were described as coming from sources with direct knowledge of the production and were considered sufficiently reliable that the season was expected to proceed unless the first season performed significantly below the service's expectations.&lt;ref name=&quot;RenewalReports&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The lack of a formal announcement was attributed to Netflix waiting until closer to or after the first-season premiere before publicly confirming the continuation. The service had reportedly authorized preliminary planning so that the second season could enter production without a lengthy delay.&lt;ref name=&quot;NoAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Brow was reported to be returning as showrunner and executive producer. His involvement and the eight-episode order were the only significant creative details said to have been decided by July 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;BrowReturns&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;EightEpisodes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin is expected to remain involved through Blackveil Studios, although his exact credit had not been confirmed. Elridge House Productions is also expected to return as one of the production companies.&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionCompanies&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Netflix and the production companies had not commented publicly on the reports by the end of July 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> A writers' room was reportedly being assembled by July 2026 under Brow's supervision.&lt;ref name=&quot;WritersRoom&quot; /&gt; No writers other than Brow had been identified, and it was unknown whether the complete first-season writing staff would return.<br /> <br /> No story details had been revealed. The direction of the season was expected to depend on the conclusion of the first season, which had not yet been released when reports of the continuation emerged.&lt;ref name=&quot;NoStoryDetails&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The producers were reportedly considering the second season as a direct continuation rather than a standalone storyline or anthology-style reset. However, no villains, new characters, settings, or comic-book storylines had been confirmed.&lt;ref name=&quot;DirectContinuation&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The eight-episode structure would remain consistent with the first season. Reports indicated that Netflix and Brow did not intend to increase the episode count, allowing the production to retain the serialized pacing and budget established during the first season.&lt;ref name=&quot;EightEpisodes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> Knight is widely expected to return as Alex Singh because the series is centered on his character. However, neither Knight nor Netflix had formally announced his involvement by July 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;KnightExpected&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first season featured a large ensemble cast, including Ferguson, Kinnaman, Pace, Judge, Maridueña, Minnette, Isaac, Mbatha-Raw, Merced, Baccarin, White, Ramamurthy, and Nagra.&lt;ref name=&quot;SeasonOneCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Several of those actors were believed to have options for additional seasons in their original contracts. Reports did not identify which options had been exercised or which characters would survive the first season.&lt;ref name=&quot;CastOptions&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Casting for new characters was not expected to begin until the story outline and scripts had progressed further. No casting calls or character descriptions had been reported.&lt;ref name=&quot;NewCasting&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> Filming dates had not been announced. Production was tentatively expected to begin during the first half of 2027 to support a release later that year.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingPlans&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The schedule was expected to depend on the timing of Netflix's formal renewal, completion of the scripts, actor availability, and the amount of visual-effects work required.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingPlans&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first season was produced using a combination of location photography and soundstage work. The same principal production facilities and visual-effects teams were expected to be retained for the second season, although this had not been confirmed.&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionCompanies&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Post-production===<br /> No post-production personnel had been announced. The season is expected to require an extended visual-effects schedule because of Alex's Kryptonian abilities, extraterrestrial characters, and the science-fiction environments established during the first season.<br /> <br /> The reported 2027 release target would require post-production to overlap with later stages of filming if principal photography did not begin until the middle of the year.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReleaseWindow&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> The second season is reportedly being developed for release on [[Netflix]] at some point in 2027.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReleaseWindow&quot; /&gt; A specific premiere date and release model have not been announced.<br /> <br /> The first season is scheduled to release one episode each week from October 2 through November 20, 2026. It is unknown whether the second season would retain the weekly schedule or be released simultaneously.&lt;ref name=&quot;SeasonOneSchedule&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A formal renewal announcement could occur before the first season's premiere, during its weekly release, or following the publication of its initial viewing figures. Netflix had not announced a marketing timetable by July 2026.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist|30em|refs=<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;SeasonOne&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Netflix announces Superboy series for October 2026 |website=Netflix Media Center |date=May 18, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;SeasonOneCast&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy reveals full first-season ensemble |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=May 20, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;SeasonOneSchedule&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy to receive weekly Netflix release |website=Netflix Media Center |date=June 3, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDiscussions&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Netflix begins early discussions for Superboy season two |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 9, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;RenewalReports&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy season two reportedly moving forward ahead of series premiere |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=July 21, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;NoAnnouncement&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Why Netflix has not formally announced Superboy season two |website=Variety |date=July 22, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;BrowReturns&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Alex Brow expected to return as Superboy showrunner |website=Entertainment Weekly |date=July 21, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;EightEpisodes&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy season two expected to retain eight-episode order |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 23, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionCompanies&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Elridge House and Blackveil expected to return for Superboy season two |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=July 24, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;WritersRoom&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy season two writers' room begins preliminary work |website=Variety |date=July 25, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;NoStoryDetails&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy season two story dependent on unreleased finale |website=Entertainment Weekly |date=July 25, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;DirectContinuation&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy continuation expected to follow first-season ending |website=Empire |date=July 26, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;KnightExpected&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Aramis Knight expected to return for Superboy season two |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=July 26, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCastReports&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Several Superboy cast members hold options for future seasons |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 27, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;CastOptions&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy ensemble contracts include additional-season options |website=Variety |date=July 27, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;NewCasting&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=New Superboy casting expected after scripts are completed |website=Deadline Hollywood |date=July 28, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingPlans&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy season two tentatively planning 2027 production |website=Production Weekly |date=July 28, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;ReleaseWindow&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Superboy season two targeting a 2027 Netflix release |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 29, 2026}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * {{Official website|https://www.netflix.com/title/superboy}}<br /> * {{IMDb title|00000000}}<br /> <br /> {{Superboy}}<br /> {{DC Comics television series}}<br /> {{Netflix original programming}}<br /> {{Portal bar|2020s|Television|United States|Speculative fiction|Comics}}<br /> <br /> {{Draft categories|<br /> [[Category:2027 American television seasons]]<br /> [[Category:American action television series]]<br /> [[Category:American adventure television series]]<br /> [[Category:American science fiction television series]]<br /> [[Category:American superhero television series]]<br /> [[Category:DC Comics television series]]<br /> [[Category:English-language Netflix original programming]]<br /> [[Category:Netflix television dramas]]<br /> [[Category:Superboy in other media]]<br /> [[Category:Television series based on DC Comics]]<br /> [[Category:Upcoming television seasons]]<br /> }}</div>

Produced by [[Mob Productions]] and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is a continuation of ''[[Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]]'' (2022), the seventh film in the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU), and the second film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]]. The film is directed by [[Nia DaCosta]], who co-wrote the screenplay with [[Marcus Cole]], and produced by [[Freddie Goodwin]]. It stars [[Letitia Wright]] as [[Shuri (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Shuri / Black Panther]], alongside [[Lupita Nyong'o]], [[Winston Duke]], [[Danai Gurira]], [[Tenoch Huerta Mejía]], [[Michaela Coel]], [[Florence Kasumba]], [[Dominique Thorne]], [[Martin Freeman]], and [[Mads Mikkelsen]].<br /> <br /> The film follows Shuri as she attempts to prevent a war between Wakanda and Talokan after coordinated attacks cause the two kingdoms to turn against one another. Their conflict is secretly manipulated by Latverian ruler [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom]], who seeks an experimental vibranium reactor capable of stabilizing matter damaged by incursions between realities.<br /> <br /> Development began in late 2024 as Mob Productions expanded Wakanda's role in Phase Two. DaCosta entered negotiations to direct in January 2025 and was confirmed in March, with Cole joining her as co-writer. Principal photography began in April 2025 at [[Trilith Studios]] in Atlanta and continued in South Africa, Puerto Rico, London, and Iceland before concluding that November. Additional photography took place between February and March 2026. By July, the film was in the final stages of post-production.<br /> <br /> ''Black Panther: Kingdoms at War'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 24, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> Following Wakanda's increased involvement in international affairs, several governments demand access to the country's vibranium resources. Shuri attempts to protect Wakanda without returning it to complete isolation, while also continuing to grieve the deaths of T'Challa and Queen Ramonda.<br /> <br /> Relations between Wakanda and the underwater kingdom of Talokan deteriorate after attacks on both nations appear to have been carried out using the other's technology. As Shuri and Namor prepare for the possibility of war, Victor von Doom, the ruler of Latveria, offers to act as a neutral mediator.<br /> <br /> Doom is secretly manipulating both kingdoms in an attempt to obtain the Heart of Bashenga, an experimental vibranium reactor capable of stabilizing physical matter affected by the temporal damage created during the events of ''[[Deadpool 2 (2026 film)|Deadpool 2]]'' (2026).<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> * [[Letitia Wright]] as [[Shuri (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Shuri / Black Panther]]: The princess of Wakanda, a scientist, and the current Black Panther. DaCosta said the film examines Shuri's struggle to balance her responsibilities as Wakanda's protector with her reluctance to become its sole political and spiritual symbol.&lt;ref name=&quot;Wright&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Lupita Nyong'o]] as [[Nakia (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Nakia]]: A former member of the War Dogs and T'Challa's former partner who lives in Haiti with their son, Toussaint. Nakia returns to Wakanda after the conflict with Talokan threatens Toussaint's future.&lt;ref name=&quot;Nyongo&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Winston Duke]] as [[M'Baku (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|M'Baku]]: The leader of the Jabari tribe and Wakanda's representative on the tribal council. M'Baku favors a military response after several Wakandan settlements are attacked.&lt;ref name=&quot;Duke&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Danai Gurira]] as [[Okoye (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Okoye]]: A former general of the Dora Milaje and leader of the Midnight Angels. Okoye investigates the source of the attacks while operating outside Wakanda's official military command.&lt;ref name=&quot;Gurira&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Tenoch Huerta Mejía]] as [[Namor (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Namor]]: The ruler of Talokan and a mutant capable of breathing underwater and flying. Namor believes Wakanda has violated the alliance formed between the kingdoms and prepares Talokan for war.&lt;ref name=&quot;Huerta&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Michaela Coel]] as [[Aneka (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Aneka]]: A former Dora Milaje warrior and member of the Midnight Angels who accompanies Okoye during her investigation.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Florence Kasumba]] as [[Ayo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ayo]]: The general of the Dora Milaje and commander of Wakanda's primary defense forces.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Dominique Thorne]] as [[Riri Williams (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Riri Williams / Ironheart]]: A young inventor who is invited to Wakanda to help analyze technology recovered from the attacks. Her armor is upgraded using limited Wakandan resources.&lt;ref name=&quot;Thorne&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Martin Freeman]] as [[Everett K. Ross]]: A former CIA operative and ally of Wakanda who investigates an international coalition attempting to obtain vibranium.&lt;ref name=&quot;Freeman&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Mads Mikkelsen]] as [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom]]: The ruler of Latveria, a scientist, and a sorcerer who presents himself as a neutral mediator between Wakanda and Talokan. Doom intends to obtain the Heart of Bashenga and use it to stabilize matter from colliding realities.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Alex Livinalli]] and [[Mabel Cadena]] reprise their respective roles as the Talokanil warriors Attuma and Namora. [[Isaach de Bankolé]], [[Connie Chiume]], and [[Danny Sapani]] return as members of Wakanda's tribal council. [[Divine Love Konadu-Sun]] appears as Toussaint, the son of T'Challa and Nakia.<br /> <br /> Goodwin said that several additional performers had not been announced because their appearances were connected to the film's ending and the wider Phase Two storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> <br /> ===Development===<br /> Following the release of ''[[Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]]'' in November 2022, discussions began regarding a continuation focused on Shuri's new role as Black Panther. Mob Productions acquired the right to continue the characters' story as part of its expanded shared universe.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDevelopment&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Early development occurred alongside work on [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]]. Goodwin wanted Wakanda to become one of the principal political and technological powers within the MCU rather than appearing only in Black Panther-focused films.&lt;ref name=&quot;WakandaFuture&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> By October 2024, Mob Productions had begun developing a film under the working title ''Black Panther 3''. The studio considered several storylines, including a conflict between Wakanda and Latveria and a direct continuation of the alliance between Shuri and Namor.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyPlans&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The filmmakers ultimately combined the ideas, with the central story depicting Doom manipulating Wakanda and Talokan into a war. Goodwin said the conflict allowed the film to continue the consequences of ''Wakanda Forever'' while introducing Latveria into the wider Phase Two storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;CombinedStory&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Nia DaCosta]] entered negotiations to direct in January 2025. Goodwin had been impressed by her handling of large ensembles and the combination of political, science-fiction, and horror elements in her previous work.&lt;ref name=&quot;DaCostaTalks&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta was confirmed as director in March 2025 and joined [[Marcus Cole]] in writing the screenplay. She also received an executive producer credit, while Goodwin served as the film's principal producer.&lt;ref name=&quot;DaCostaHired&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The official title, '''''Black Panther: Kingdoms at War''''', was announced during the Mob Productions Showcase on June 13, 2025. Goodwin confirmed that the film would be released on September 24, 2026, as the second film of Phase Two.&lt;ref name=&quot;TitleAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta described the title as referring not only to Wakanda and Talokan, but also to the conflict between monarchies, democratic governments, corporations, and individuals attempting to control resources after the public discovery of vibranium.&lt;ref name=&quot;TitleMeaning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> DaCosta and Cole began writing the screenplay in early 2025. The writers wanted to continue Shuri and Namor's alliance without ignoring the hostility and casualties created by their earlier conflict.&lt;ref name=&quot;Writing&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film begins after an extended period of peace between Wakanda and Talokan. Their agreement remains secret from most of the world, creating confusion when evidence of Talokanil activity is discovered during attacks on Wakandan facilities.&lt;ref name=&quot;StoryDetails&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Shuri was written as a leader who understands the scientific and military importance of vibranium but remains uncomfortable with the religious expectations attached to the Black Panther. DaCosta said Shuri considers the mantle a responsibility rather than a source of personal identity.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShuriArc&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> M'Baku represents the position that Wakanda's repeated attempts at diplomacy have made it vulnerable. His disagreements with Shuri concern how the country should respond to attacks rather than an attempt to remove her as Black Panther.&lt;ref name=&quot;MBakuArc&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Namor's storyline focuses on his fear that Talokan will eventually be discovered and invaded. Doom manipulates this fear by manufacturing evidence that Wakanda has provided foreign governments with information about Talokan's location.&lt;ref name=&quot;NamorArc&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Heart of Bashenga was created for the film as an experimental reactor developed from research conducted by Shuri and Riri Williams. The device can temporarily repair vibranium structures damaged at a molecular level.&lt;ref name=&quot;HeartOfBashenga&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom intends to modify the reactor to stabilize objects affected by incursions. The film establishes that he has become aware of damage between realities following the destruction of the Time Ripper in ''Deadpool 2''.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoConnection&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta said Doom is not the visible cause of every conflict in the film. Existing distrust between Wakanda, Talokan, and foreign governments allows him to manipulate events without controlling every participant.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomApproach&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The screenplay was revised during pre-production to increase Nakia's role and further explore the effect that Toussaint's existence has on Wakanda's royal succession.&lt;ref name=&quot;NakiaRewrite&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Riri Williams was included because of her previous relationship with Shuri and her experience constructing a vibranium detection device. Her role also provides a connection between Wakanda's traditional institutions and younger independent inventors.&lt;ref name=&quot;RiriRole&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film's ending leads into the broader incursion storyline of Phase Two. Goodwin said it provides Doom with one component necessary for the machine he later completes in ''[[Avengers: Incursion]]'' (2028).&lt;ref name=&quot;EndingConnection&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> Wright was expected to return as Shuri when development began. Mob Productions formally confirmed her involvement in March 2025 alongside DaCosta's appointment.&lt;ref name=&quot;Wright&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Nyong'o, Duke, Gurira, Huerta Mejía, Coel, and Kasumba were announced to reprise their roles in April. DaCosta said the film was designed as an ensemble rather than a story focused exclusively on Shuri.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Huerta Mejía said Namor's relationship with Shuri remains defined by mutual respect and distrust. He described Namor as willing to cooperate with Wakanda only while he believes the alliance protects Talokan.&lt;ref name=&quot;Huerta&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Thorne was confirmed to return as Riri Williams in May 2025. The film marks her first theatrical appearance in the franchise since ''Wakanda Forever''.&lt;ref name=&quot;Thorne&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Freeman joined the cast in June, reprising his role as Everett Ross. His storyline concerns the international response to Wakanda and the activities of intelligence agencies seeking vibranium.&lt;ref name=&quot;Freeman&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mikkelsen was announced as Doom during the Mob Productions Showcase on June 13, 2025. He previously portrayed the character in ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'' (2025) and had signed a multi-film agreement with the studio.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta said Doom appears throughout the film rather than being reserved for a cameo or post-credits scene. His public role as Latveria's ruler allows him to participate directly in diplomatic negotiations with Wakanda and Talokan.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomRole&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Alex Livinalli and Mabel Cadena were subsequently confirmed to return as Attuma and Namora. Livinalli said Attuma supports war with Wakanda and increasingly questions Namor's willingness to negotiate with the surface world.&lt;ref name=&quot;TalokanCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Design and pre-production===<br /> Pre-production began in March 2025 at [[Trilith Studios]] in Atlanta. Production designer [[Hannah Beachler]] returned to oversee the design of Wakanda and Talokan while developing Latveria's visual identity.&lt;ref name=&quot;PreProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta wanted each kingdom to possess a distinct architectural and technological language. Wakanda combines vibranium with organic African design, Talokan uses structures shaped by water pressure and marine life, and Latveria presents advanced machinery within medieval European architecture.&lt;ref name=&quot;KingdomDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Several new Wakandan locations were constructed, including the River Province capital, the underground chamber containing the Heart of Bashenga, and a rebuilt royal council hall.&lt;ref name=&quot;WakandaSets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Talokan sets were expanded beyond those created for ''Wakanda Forever''. The production constructed residential districts, a military chamber, and an underwater temple associated with Namor's ancestors.&lt;ref name=&quot;TalokanSets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom's Latverian embassy was designed to appear restrained and diplomatic when compared with his castle. Visual elements from ''Doctor Doom'' were incorporated into the sets, including mechanical patterns and green lighting hidden beneath traditional surfaces.&lt;ref name=&quot;LatveriaDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Costume designer [[Ruth E. Carter]] returned to create the film's costumes. Shuri receives an updated Black Panther suit with reinforced silver sections intended for underwater combat.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Midnight Angels' armor was redesigned to reduce its size and improve movement during practical stunt work. Talokan's warriors received additional ceremonial and military costumes reflecting their preparation for war.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom wears formal Latverian clothing during most diplomatic scenes. His armored appearance incorporates the design established in his solo film with modifications intended to protect him against vibranium weapons and underwater pressure.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomCostume&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> Principal photography began on April 14, 2025, at Trilith Studios under the working title ''Two Kingdoms''.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingStart&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Filming initially focused on interiors set in Wakanda, including Shuri's laboratory, the royal council chamber, and the Heart of Bashenga facility.&lt;ref name=&quot;AtlantaFilming&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Location filming began in South Africa in June. Cape Town and surrounding coastal areas were used for Wakandan settlements and several sequences depicting conflict along the country's borders.&lt;ref name=&quot;SouthAfrica&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The production moved to Puerto Rico in July for surface scenes associated with Talokan. Underwater material was filmed in controlled tanks and combined with digital environments during post-production.&lt;ref name=&quot;PuertoRico&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Filming in London took place between August and September and included scenes set at the United Nations and Latverian diplomatic facilities. Mikkelsen completed most of his principal photography during this portion of the schedule.&lt;ref name=&quot;LondonFilming&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A smaller unit filmed landscapes in Iceland for sequences involving territory damaged by an early incursion. The location does not represent Wakanda or Talokan and was described as the film's first visual indication of the wider Phase Two threat.&lt;ref name=&quot;Iceland&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta and cinematographer [[Autumn Durald Arkapaw]] used different aspect ratios and camera movements for the kingdoms. Wakandan scenes emphasize stable compositions, Talokan sequences use more fluid movement, and scenes involving Doom gradually become more symmetrical as his control increases.&lt;ref name=&quot;Cinematography&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Several large battle sequences were filmed using practical water effects, partial sets, and stunt performers before being expanded digitally. DaCosta said she wanted the conflict to remain geographically understandable despite involving air, land, and underwater forces.&lt;ref name=&quot;ActionDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Principal photography concluded on November 21, 2025.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingWrap&quot; /&gt; Wright described the production as physically demanding because of the amount of underwater and wire work required for Shuri's fight scenes.&lt;ref name=&quot;WrightFilming&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional photography began in February 2026 and concluded in March. The work included expanded scenes involving Nakia and Toussaint, alterations to the final battle, and additional material connecting Doom to the incursion storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;AdditionalPhotography&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Post-production===<br /> Post-production began while principal photography was underway. [[Catrin Hedström]] and [[Michael P. Shawver]] edited the film.&lt;ref name=&quot;Editors&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> An early assembly reportedly ran for approximately three hours. DaCosta said the extended cut contained additional political material but that several scenes repeated information already communicated through the central characters.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyCut&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The final theatrical version has a running time of 144 minutes, including the credits.&lt;ref name=&quot;Runtime&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Visual-effects vendors included [[Industrial Light &amp; Magic]], [[Wētā FX]], Framestore, and Mob Digital. Their work included the underwater environments of Talokan, the armies of both kingdoms, Shuri's suit, Doom's armor, and the molecular effects created by the Heart of Bashenga.&lt;ref name=&quot;VisualEffects&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta said the visual effects were approximately 90 percent complete by June 2026. Final work focused on underwater lighting, the third-act battle, and a sequence depicting matter destabilizing during an incursion.&lt;ref name=&quot;VFXProgress&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film received a [[Motion Picture Association film rating system|PG-13 rating]] for intense sequences of violence, action, thematic material, and brief language.&lt;ref name=&quot;Rating&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Music===<br /> [[Ludwig Göransson]] returned to compose the film's score after working on the previous Black Panther films.&lt;ref name=&quot;Goransson&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Göransson conducted research into musical traditions from southern Africa, Mesoamerica, and Eastern Europe to represent Wakanda, Talokan, and Latveria.&lt;ref name=&quot;ScoreResearch&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The score retains themes associated with Shuri, T'Challa, Namor, and Wakanda while introducing a Latverian theme built around low brass, mechanical percussion, and a male choir.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomTheme&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> DaCosta said the music does not present either Wakanda or Talokan as the villainous side of the conflict. Their themes are gradually combined as the characters discover that the war has been manipulated.&lt;ref name=&quot;ScoreApproach&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The soundtrack album is scheduled to be released digitally by [[Hollywood Records]] and Mob Music on September 18, 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;SoundtrackRelease&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> The film's title and initial logo were revealed by Goodwin during the Mob Productions Showcase on June 13, 2025. The logo depicted the Black Panther emblem divided between Wakandan purple, Talokanil blue, and a narrow green section associated with Latveria.&lt;ref name=&quot;TitleAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first footage was shown privately to exhibitors in December 2025. Reports described the presentation as focusing on the political tension between Shuri and Namor and ending with the reveal of Doom entering Wakanda's throne room.&lt;ref name=&quot;ExhibitorFootage&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A teaser trailer was released on February 8, 2026, during [[Super Bowl LX]]. It used a slowed arrangement of &quot;War&quot; by Edwin Starr and depicted attacks on Wakanda and Talokan without revealing who was responsible.&lt;ref name=&quot;Teaser&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The teaser received 146 million views across online platforms during its first 24 hours. Discussion focused on Mikkelsen's appearance as Doom and the first footage of Shuri's updated Black Panther suit.&lt;ref name=&quot;TeaserViews&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first theatrical poster was released on May 8. It depicts Shuri and Namor facing away from one another as the armies of Wakanda and Talokan assemble beneath them. Doom is positioned in the background between the two kingdoms.&lt;ref name=&quot;Poster&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> An official trailer was released on May 29 and provided a more detailed explanation of the conflict. It revealed the Heart of Bashenga and confirmed that Doom was serving as the official mediator between Wakanda and Talokan.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialTrailer&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions released a behind-the-scenes featurette titled ''Three Kingdoms'' on June 26. The video focused on the production design, costumes, and cultural influences used for Wakanda, Talokan, and Latveria.&lt;ref name=&quot;Featurette&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The final trailer was released on July 24, two months before the film's theatrical release. It emphasized Shuri and Namor's attempts to prevent their armies from entering a conflict neither can completely control.&lt;ref name=&quot;FinalTrailer&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Marketing partnerships include promotional material in ''[[Fortnite]]'', ''Marvel Rivals'', and several Mob Productions games. Hasbro announced action figures based on Black Panther, Namor, Okoye, Ironheart, and Doom.&lt;ref name=&quot;Partnerships&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Advance ticket sales are scheduled to begin in August 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;Tickets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> ''Black Panther: Kingdoms at War'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 24, 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;TitleAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film will be released in [[IMAX]], Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX, and standard theatrical formats.&lt;ref name=&quot;PremiumFormats&quot; /&gt; Selected IMAX presentations will feature an expanded aspect ratio during the battles in Wakanda and Talokan.&lt;ref name=&quot;IMAX&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> It will be the second film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]], following ''[[Deadpool 2 (2026 film)|Deadpool 2]]'' in May 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwo&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was initially considered for a November 2026 release before Mob Productions moved it to September to provide additional space between it and the studio's other releases.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReleasePlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A premiere is expected to take place in Los Angeles in September, followed by events in Johannesburg, Mexico City, and London.&lt;ref name=&quot;PremierePlans&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Future==<br /> Mikkelsen is expected to reprise his role as Doom in later Phase Two films, including ''[[Avengers: Incursion]]'' and ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]''.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomFuture&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said the film's ending would significantly affect Wakanda and Talokan's positions within the MCU and that neither kingdom would return to its previous level of secrecy.&lt;ref name=&quot;KingdomFuture&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Wright, Duke, Gurira, Huerta Mejía, and other members of the cast are expected to appear in future MCU projects, although Mob Productions has not

Production ==<br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026.<br /> <br /> Alex Brow, who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale.<br /> <br /> The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other.<br /> <br /> The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears in the premiere but is largely withheld from the middle of the season before returning in &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;. Brow said the writers wanted Varyx to remain present through the consequences of his earlier actions rather than repeatedly confronting Alex. He described the character as &quot;the shadow hanging over the season&quot;, adding: &quot;The audience should feel that he is coming long before he physically returns.&quot; Varyx's renewed pursuit of Alex forms the primary conflict of the final three episodes.<br /> <br /> The first bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Bronze drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both parts of the season finale, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, were completed on July 29. The credited writer of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; had not been publicly announced by that date.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes.<br /> <br /> Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline.<br /> <br /> The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke.<br /> <br /> Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026. Its eight episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

The supporting cast changes between seasons as the story expands from Alex's personal origin into a broader account of metahuman oversight, public testimony, scientific control, and the social cost of turning a young hero into a symbol.<br /> <br /> The first season premiered on December 14, 2024, and concluded on February 1, 2025. The second season premiered on January 10, 2026, and concluded on February 28. The third season premiered on March 8, 2027, and concluded on April 26. The fourth and final season premiered on May 12, 2028, and concluded on June 30. All four seasons consist of eight episodes and were released weekly. Across 32 episodes, the series follows Alex's development from a frightened young metahuman into a public hero, and eventually to his decision to step away from the Superboy identity after losing his powers. Alex later appears in ''[[Iron Man (Goodwinverse TV series)|Iron Man]]'' and ''[[Doomsday (Goodwinverse miniseries)|Doomsday]]'', where his powers are restored and recontextualized within the wider Goodwinverse.<br /> <br /> ==Series overview==<br /> &lt;onlyinclude&gt;{{Series overview<br /> | color1 = #2456B3<br /> | link1 = &lt;includeonly&gt;List of Superboy episodes&lt;/includeonly&gt;#Season 1 (2024–25)<br /> | episodes1 = 8<br /> | start1 = {{Start date|2024|12|14}}<br /> | end1 = {{End date|2025|2|1}}<br /> <br /> | color2 = #7432A8<br /> | link2 = &lt;includeonly&gt;List of Superboy episodes&lt;/includeonly&gt;#Season 2 (2026)<br /> | episodes2 = 8<br /> | start2 = {{Start date|2026|1|10}}<br /> | end2 = {{End date|2026|2|28}}<br /> <br /> | color3 = #37DCFE<br /> | link3 = &lt;includeonly&gt;List of Superboy episodes&lt;/includeonly&gt;#Season 3 (2027)<br /> | episodes3 = 8<br /> | start3 = {{Start date|2027|3|8}}<br /> | end3 = {{End date|2027|4|26}}<br /> <br /> | color4 = #1E1E3F<br /> | link4 = &lt;includeonly&gt;List of Superboy episodes&lt;/includeonly&gt;#Season 4 (2028)<br /> | episodes4 = 8<br /> | start4 = {{Start date|2028|5|12}}<br /> | end4 = {{End date|2028|6|30}}<br /> }}&lt;/onlyinclude&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> <br /> ===Season 1 (2024–25)===<br /> {{Main|Superboy season 1}}<br /> {{:Superboy season 1}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> {{Notelist}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * {{IMDb episodes|0000000|Superboy}}<br /> <br /> {{Goodwinverse}}<br /> {{Superboy}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Superboy episodes, List of}}<br /> [[Category:Superboy (Goodwinverse TV series) episodes| ]]<br /> [[Category:Lists of American action television series episodes|Superboy]]<br /> [[Category:Lists of American science fiction television series episodes|Superboy]]<br /> [[Category:Lists of American superhero television series episodes|Superboy]]</div>

It is produced by [[Elridge House Productions]] and [[Blackveil Studios]], with Brow directing the [[series premiere]] and Goodwin directing the remaining seven episodes of the [[Superboy season 1|first season]].<br /> <br /> The series stars [[Aramis Knight]] as [[Alex Singh (Goodwinverse)|Alex Singh]], an extraterrestrial who was raised on Earth by Jack and Lisa Singh and previously operated as the superhero Superboy. Eight years after an invasion of South City resulted in the deaths of his adoptive parents, Alex has abandoned his public identity and lives anonymously in Chicago. His former life resurfaces when extraterrestrial signals, secret organizations and individuals connected to his biological family begin searching for him.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]], [[Joel Kinnaman]], [[Lee Pace]], [[Christopher Judge]], [[Xolo Maridueña]], [[Dylan Minnette]], [[Oscar Isaac]], [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Morena Baccarin]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]] also star.<br /> <br /> Development of the series was led by Brow and Goodwin, who conceived it as a serialized science-fiction drama beginning after Alex's original emergence as Superboy rather than as a conventional superhero [[origin story]]. The first season consists of eight episodes and is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026, with episodes released weekly through November 20. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> {{TOC limit|3}}<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> <br /> In 1990, South City residents Jack and Lisa Singh discover an extraterrestrial infant inside a spacecraft that crashes near their home. They conceal the child's origins and raise him as their son, Alex. As he grows older, Alex develops superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy.<br /> <br /> At 17 years old, Alex is confronted by Supreme Marshal Varyx, ruler of the Veyari Dominion, who identifies him as Alexander Val'Aeth, the surviving heir to the destroyed Aethari civilization. Alex refuses to abandon Earth and is forced to fight Varyx during an invasion of South City. Although Alex repels the attack, Jack and Lisa are killed and his Aethari guardian, Kael, disappears.<br /> <br /> Eight years later, Alex lives anonymously in Chicago and has largely abandoned his abilities. His past resurfaces after an ancient extraterrestrial structure is discovered beneath the Arctic and the secretive organization Obsidian reveals that it has monitored him since his arrival on Earth. As rival groups search for Aethari technology, Alex must uncover the truth surrounding his biological family, the destruction of Aethara and the role he is expected to play in an approaching interplanetary conflict.<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> {{Main|List of Superboy episodes {{!}} List of ''Superboy'' episodes}}{{Series overview<br /> | color1 = #1F4D34<br /> | link1 = Superboy season 1<br /> | episodes1 = 8<br /> | start1 = {{Start date|2026|10|2}}<br /> | end1 = {{End date|2026|11|20}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cast and characters==<br /> <br /> ===Main===<br /> <br /> * [[Aramis Knight]] as '''Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy''': An Aethari who was brought to Earth as an infant and raised by Jack and Lisa Singh.

The series was conceived as a new interpretation of the [[DC Comics]] character centered on Alex Singh, an original version of Superboy who was raised on Earth after being sent from the destroyed Aethari civilization.<br /> <br /> Development began at [[Elridge House Productions]], with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the project as a co-production company. [[Naomi Elridge]], [[Jordan Brackley]], [[Samira Collins]], and [[Devon Kaye]] serve as executive producers.<br /> <br /> The series was developed as a serialized superhero and science-fiction drama rather than a predominantly episodic program. Brow and Goodwin planned the first season as a single eight-episode story examining Alex's relationship with Earth, his biological heritage and the consequences of his earlier confrontation with the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> Rather than beginning with Alex discovering his abilities, the series opens after he has already operated as Superboy and experienced a major personal failure. Brow said this allowed the story to focus on a character who understands the physical requirements of heroism but no longer believes that he can endure its emotional consequences.<br /> <br /> The production chose to begin the present-day storyline eight years after the destruction of South City. The time jump allowed Alex to have established a new life in Chicago while showing that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to increase gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery before expanding into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow and Goodwin, with [[Lena Cross]] and [[Jackson Gold]] also contributing to the first season. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual episodes, allowing earlier installments to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would be revisited in the finale.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, and the fifth episode, &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;. He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot;, and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Goodwin and Cross wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot;, while Cross and Gold wrote &quot;Everfall&quot;.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] as the season's primary themes. Alex's human name, Alex Singh, represents the life given to him by his adoptive parents, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the identity and authority inherited from his biological family.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors and contains alien threats while remaining divided over whether Alex should be protected or controlled. Helix seeks to exploit Aethari and Veyari technology for its own purposes.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears during the opening episode but remains largely absent from the middle of the season. His influence instead continues through the damage caused by the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the fear that he will eventually return.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. They were written as one continuous story divided at the primary emotional turning point of Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor who could convey Alex's physical power while presenting him as emotionally exhausted and reluctant to return to public life.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and performance capture.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few characters who continues to view Alex as a person rather than a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the first South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. The characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he cannot.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be used across multiple episodes.<br /> <br /> Brow directed the opening production block, which included the series premiere and sequences depicting the first South City invasion. Goodwin directed the remaining production blocks.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city. The Arctic sequences used refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training for the role. Alex's flight was designed to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration.<br /> <br /> Filming of the two-part finale was planned as the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid shapes and crown-like projections.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it weight and allowing it to react physically to Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consists of a practical suit enhanced through visual effects. Judge's physical performance was retained, while digital effects increase the character's scale and add moving sections and crown structures to the armor.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created using a combination of practical set pieces, virtual production and computer-generated environments.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> The score for ''Superboy'' was composed by [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]]. The composers developed a mixture of orchestral, choral and electronic music to represent the human and extraterrestrial sides of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instruments and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures and metallic percussion, while the Veyari Dominion uses lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster for the series was released ahead of its premiere. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The eight episodes of the first season will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

Brow said this allowed the story to focus on a character who understands the physical requirements of heroism but no longer believes that he can endure its emotional consequences.<br /> <br /> The production chose to begin the present-day storyline eight years after the destruction of South City. The time jump allowed Alex to have established a new life in Chicago while showing that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to increase gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery before expanding into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow and Goodwin, with [[Lena Cross]] and [[Jackson Gold]] also contributing to the first season. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual episodes, allowing earlier installments to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would be revisited in the finale.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, and the fifth episode, &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;. He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot;, and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Goodwin and Cross wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot;, while Cross and Gold wrote &quot;Everfall&quot;.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] as the season's primary themes. Alex's human name, Alex Singh, represents the life given to him by his adoptive parents, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the identity and authority inherited from his biological family.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors and contains alien threats while remaining divided over whether Alex should be protected or controlled. Helix seeks to exploit Aethari and Veyari technology for its own purposes.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears during the opening episode but remains largely absent from the middle of the season. His influence instead continues through the damage caused by the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the fear that he will eventually return.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. They were written as one continuous story divided at the primary emotional turning point of Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor who could convey Alex's physical power while presenting him as emotionally exhausted and reluctant to return to public life.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and performance capture.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few characters who continues to view Alex as a person rather than a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the first South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. The characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he cannot.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be used across multiple episodes.<br /> <br /> Brow directed the opening production block, which included the series premiere and sequences depicting the first South City invasion. Goodwin directed the remaining production blocks.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city. The Arctic sequences used refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training for the role. Alex's flight was designed to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration.<br /> <br /> Filming of the two-part finale was planned as the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid shapes and crown-like projections.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it weight and allowing it to react physically to Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consists of a practical suit enhanced through visual effects. Judge's physical performance was retained, while digital effects increase the character's scale and add moving sections and crown structures to the armor.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created using a combination of practical set pieces, virtual production and computer-generated environments.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> The score for ''Superboy'' was composed by [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]]. The composers developed a mixture of orchestral, choral and electronic music to represent the human and extraterrestrial sides of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instruments and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures and metallic percussion, while the Veyari Dominion uses lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster for the series was released ahead of its premiere. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The eight episodes of the first season will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> {{TOC limit|3}}<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> <br /> In 1990, South City residents Jack and Lisa Singh discover an extraterrestrial infant inside a spacecraft that crashes near their home. They conceal the child's origins and raise him as their son, Alex. As he grows older, Alex develops superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy.<br /> <br /> At 17 years old, Alex is confronted by Supreme Marshal Varyx, ruler of the Veyari Dominion, who identifies him as Alexander Val'Aeth, the surviving heir to the destroyed Aethari civilization. Alex refuses to abandon Earth and is forced to fight Varyx during an invasion of South City. Although Alex repels the attack, Jack and Lisa are killed and his Aethari guardian, Kael, disappears.<br /> <br /> Eight years later, Alex lives anonymously in Chicago and has largely abandoned his abilities. His past resurfaces after an ancient extraterrestrial structure is discovered beneath the Arctic and the secretive organization Obsidian reveals that it has monitored him since his arrival on Earth. As rival groups search for Aethari technology, Alex must uncover the truth surrounding his biological family, the destruction of Aethara and the role he is expected to play in an approaching interplanetary conflict.<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> <br /> {{Series overview<br /> | color1 = #1F4D34<br /> | link1 = Superboy season 1<br /> | episodes1 = 8<br /> | start1 = {{Start date|2026|10|2}}<br /> | end1 = {{End date|2026|11|20}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cast and characters==<br /> <br /> ===Main===<br /> <br /> * [[Aramis Knight]] as '''Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy''': An Aethari who was brought to Earth as an infant and raised by Jack and Lisa Singh.

Production ==<br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026.<br /> <br /> Alex Brow, who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale.<br /> <br /> The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other.<br /> <br /> The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears in the premiere but is largely withheld from the middle of the season before returning in &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;. Brow said the writers wanted Varyx to remain present through the consequences of his earlier actions rather than repeatedly confronting Alex. He described the character as &quot;the shadow hanging over the season&quot;, adding: &quot;The audience should feel that he is coming long before he physically returns.&quot; Varyx's renewed pursuit of Alex forms the primary conflict of the final three episodes.<br /> <br /> The first bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Bronze drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both parts of the season finale, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, were completed on July 29. The credited writer of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; had not been publicly announced by that date.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes.<br /> <br /> Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline.<br /> <br /> The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke.<br /> <br /> Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026. Its eight episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

The series was conceived as a new interpretation of the [[DC Comics]] character centered on Alex Singh, an original version of Superboy who was raised on Earth after being sent from the destroyed Aethari civilization.<br /> <br /> Development began at [[Elridge House Productions]], with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the project as a co-production company. [[Naomi Elridge]], [[Jordan Brackley]], [[Samira Collins]], and [[Devon Kaye]] serve as executive producers.<br /> <br /> The series was developed as a serialized superhero and science-fiction drama rather than a predominantly episodic program. Brow and Goodwin planned the first season as a single eight-episode story examining Alex's relationship with Earth, his biological heritage and the consequences of his earlier confrontation with the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> Rather than beginning with Alex discovering his abilities, the series opens after he has already operated as Superboy and experienced a major personal failure. Brow said this allowed the story to focus on a character who understands the physical requirements of heroism but no longer believes that he can endure its emotional consequences.<br /> <br /> The production chose to begin the present-day storyline eight years after the destruction of South City. The time jump allowed Alex to have established a new life in Chicago while showing that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to increase gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery before expanding into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow and Goodwin, with [[Lena Cross]] and [[Jackson Gold]] also contributing to the first season. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual episodes, allowing earlier installments to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would be revisited in the finale.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, and the fifth episode, &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;. He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot;, and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Goodwin and Cross wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot;, while Cross and Gold wrote &quot;Everfall&quot;.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] as the season's primary themes. Alex's human name, Alex Singh, represents the life given to him by his adoptive parents, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the identity and authority inherited from his biological family.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors and contains alien threats while remaining divided over whether Alex should be protected or controlled. Helix seeks to exploit Aethari and Veyari technology for its own purposes.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears during the opening episode but remains largely absent from the middle of the season. His influence instead continues through the damage caused by the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the fear that he will eventually return.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. They were written as one continuous story divided at the primary emotional turning point of Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor who could convey Alex's physical power while presenting him as emotionally exhausted and reluctant to return to public life.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and performance capture.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few characters who continues to view Alex as a person rather than a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the first South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. The characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he cannot.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be used across multiple episodes.<br /> <br /> Brow directed the opening production block, which included the series premiere and sequences depicting the first South City invasion. Goodwin directed the remaining production blocks.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city. The Arctic sequences used refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training for the role. Alex's flight was designed to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration.<br /> <br /> Filming of the two-part finale was planned as the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid shapes and crown-like projections.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it weight and allowing it to react physically to Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consists of a practical suit enhanced through visual effects. Judge's physical performance was retained, while digital effects increase the character's scale and add moving sections and crown structures to the armor.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created using a combination of practical set pieces, virtual production and computer-generated environments.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> The score for ''Superboy'' was composed by [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]]. The composers developed a mixture of orchestral, choral and electronic music to represent the human and extraterrestrial sides of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instruments and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures and metallic percussion, while the Veyari Dominion uses lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster for the series was released ahead of its premiere. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The eight episodes of the first season will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

Eight years after an invasion of South City resulted in the deaths of his adoptive parents, Alex has abandoned his public identity and lives anonymously in Chicago. His former life resurfaces when extraterrestrial signals, secret organizations and individuals connected to his biological family begin searching for him.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]], [[Joel Kinnaman]], [[Lee Pace]], [[Christopher Judge]], [[Xolo Maridueña]], [[Dylan Minnette]], [[Oscar Isaac]], [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Morena Baccarin]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]] also star.<br /> <br /> Development of the series was led by Brow and Goodwin, who conceived it as a serialized science-fiction drama beginning after Alex's original emergence as Superboy rather than as a conventional superhero [[origin story]].

The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> {{TOC limit|3}}<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> <br /> In 1990, South City residents Jack and Lisa Singh discover an extraterrestrial infant inside a spacecraft that crashes near their home. They conceal the child's origins and raise him as their son, Alex. As he grows older, Alex develops superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy.<br /> <br /> At 17 years old, Alex is confronted by Supreme Marshal Varyx, ruler of the Veyari Dominion, who identifies him as Alexander Val'Aeth, the surviving heir to the destroyed Aethari civilization. Alex refuses to abandon Earth and is forced to fight Varyx during an invasion of South City. Although Alex repels the attack, Jack and Lisa are killed and his Aethari guardian, Kael, disappears.<br /> <br /> Eight years later, Alex lives anonymously in Chicago and has largely abandoned his abilities. His past resurfaces after an ancient extraterrestrial structure is discovered beneath the Arctic and the secretive organization Obsidian reveals that it has monitored him since his arrival on Earth. As rival groups search for Aethari technology, Alex must uncover the truth surrounding his biological family, the destruction of Aethara and the role he is expected to play in an approaching interplanetary conflict.<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> <br /> {{Series overview<br /> | color1 = #1F4D34<br /> | link1 = Superboy season 1<br /> | episodes1 = 8<br /> | start1 = {{Start date|2026|10|2}}<br /> | end1 = {{End date|2026|11|20}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cast and characters==<br /> <br /> ===Main===<br /> <br /> * [[Aramis Knight]] as '''Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy''': An Aethari who was brought to Earth as an infant and raised by Jack and Lisa Singh. Alex possesses superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy. Following the deaths of his adoptive parents, he abandons his identity as Superboy and attempts to live anonymously.<br /> * [[Rebecca Ferguson]] as '''Director Elena Cross''': The director of Obsidian, a secret organization that has monitored Alex since his arrival on Earth.<br /> * [[Joel Kinnaman]] as '''Commander Mason Reed''': Obsidian's tactical commander and a survivor of the organization's original expedition to Everfall.<br /> * [[Lee Pace]] as '''Kael''': An Aethari guardian who brought Alex to Earth and served his biological parents.<br /> * [[Christopher Judge]] as '''Supreme Marshal Varyx''': The ruler of the Veyari Dominion who seeks to control Alex and the Aethari Anchor network.<br /> * [[Xolo Maridueña]] as '''Jackson Reyes''': Alex's childhood friend who helps him reconnect with his human life.<br /> * [[Dylan Minnette]] as '''Ethan Miller''': Alex's former classmate, who spent years investigating the South City invasion before becoming involved with Helix.<br /> * [[Oscar Isaac]] as '''Seran Val'Aeth''': Alex's biological father, the former Aethari sovereign and a reluctant ally of Helix.<br /> * [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as '''Dr. Imani Shaw''': Obsidian's leading xenotechnology specialist.<br /> * [[Isabela Merced]] as '''Maya Torres''': An Obsidian systems analyst who helps Alex understand Aethari and Veyari technology.<br /> * [[Morena Baccarin]] as '''Lysara Val'Aeth''': Alex's biological mother, who was held in Helix custody following the destruction of Aethara.<br /> * [[Michael Jai White]] as '''Marcus Hale''': The owner of the Falcon Bar and one of Alex's closest friends in Chicago.<br /> * [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as '''Jack Singh''': Alex's adoptive father, who discovered him as an infant and raised him in South City.<br /> * [[Parminder Nagra]] as '''Lisa Singh''': Alex's adoptive mother, whose memories and recorded voice continue to influence him.<br /> <br /> ===Recurring===<br /> <br /> * [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as '''Proctor''': A cybernetically altered Helix commander attempting to extract Alex's biological authority.<br /> * [[Ruth Wilson]] as '''Dr. Sloane Varr / the Helix Woman''': A senior Helix scientist overseeing Lysara's containment and the organization's Everfall project.<br /> * [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as '''Sentinel''': An ancient mechanical entity recovered from the Arctic custodial machine.<br /> * [[Keith David]] as the voice of '''the Custodian''': A Veyari construct programmed to identify and preserve the Aethari line of succession.<br /> * [[Winston Duke]] as '''Veyr-Thal''': A Veyari officer who begins questioning Varyx and the Dominion's use of the Crown.<br /> * [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] as the voice of '''the Anchor''': The ancient intelligence governing Everfall, the Throne Gate and the Aethari succession network.<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> <br /> ===Development===<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' was created by [[Alex Brow]] and developed for television by [[Freddie Goodwin]]. The series was conceived as a new interpretation of the [[DC Comics]] character centered on Alex Singh, an original version of Superboy who was raised on Earth after being sent from the destroyed Aethari civilization.<br /> <br /> Development began at [[Elridge House Productions]], with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the project as a co-production company. [[Naomi Elridge]], [[Jordan Brackley]], [[Samira Collins]], and [[Devon Kaye]] serve as executive producers.<br /> <br /> The series was developed as a serialized superhero and science-fiction drama rather than a predominantly episodic program. Brow and Goodwin planned the first season as a single eight-episode story examining Alex's relationship with Earth, his biological heritage and the consequences of his earlier confrontation with the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> Rather than beginning with Alex discovering his abilities, the series opens after he has already operated as Superboy and experienced a major personal failure. Brow said this allowed the story to focus on a character who understands the physical requirements of heroism but no longer believes that he can endure its emotional consequences.<br /> <br /> The production chose to begin the present-day storyline eight years after the destruction of South City. The time jump allowed Alex to have established a new life in Chicago while showing that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to increase gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery before expanding into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow and Goodwin, with [[Lena Cross]] and [[Jackson Gold]] also contributing to the first season. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual episodes, allowing earlier installments to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would be revisited in the finale.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, and the fifth episode, &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;. He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot;, and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Goodwin and Cross wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot;, while Cross and Gold wrote &quot;Everfall&quot;.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] as the season's primary themes. Alex's human name, Alex Singh, represents the life given to him by his adoptive parents, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the identity and authority inherited from his biological family.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors and contains alien threats while remaining divided over whether Alex should be protected or controlled. Helix seeks to exploit Aethari and Veyari technology for its own purposes.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears during the opening episode but remains largely absent from the middle of the season. His influence instead continues through the damage caused by the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the fear that he will eventually return.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. They were written as one continuous story divided at the primary emotional turning point of Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor who could convey Alex's physical power while presenting him as emotionally exhausted and reluctant to return to public life.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and performance capture.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few characters who continues to view Alex as a person rather than a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the first South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. The characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he cannot.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be used across multiple episodes.<br /> <br /> Brow directed the opening production block, which included the series premiere and sequences depicting the first South City invasion. Goodwin directed the remaining production blocks.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city. The Arctic sequences used refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training for the role. Alex's flight was designed to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration.<br /> <br /> Filming of the two-part finale was planned as the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid shapes and crown-like projections.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it weight and allowing it to react physically to Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consists of a practical suit enhanced through visual effects. Judge's physical performance was retained, while digital effects increase the character's scale and add moving sections and crown structures to the armor.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created using a combination of practical set pieces, virtual production and computer-generated environments.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> The score for ''Superboy'' was composed by [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]]. The composers developed a mixture of orchestral, choral and electronic music to represent the human and extraterrestrial sides of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instruments and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures and metallic percussion, while the Veyari Dominion uses lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster for the series was released ahead of its premiere. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026.

He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot;, and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Goodwin and Cross wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot;, while Cross and Gold wrote &quot;Everfall&quot;.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] as the season's primary themes. Alex's human name, Alex Singh, represents the life given to him by his adoptive parents, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the identity and authority inherited from his biological family.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors and contains alien threats while remaining divided over whether Alex should be protected or controlled. Helix seeks to exploit Aethari and Veyari technology for its own purposes.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears during the opening episode but remains largely absent from the middle of the season. His influence instead continues through the damage caused by the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the fear that he will eventually return.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. They were written as one continuous story divided at the primary emotional turning point of Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. The production sought an actor who could convey Alex's physical power while presenting him as emotionally exhausted and reluctant to return to public life.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the series as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were developed as representatives of opposing philosophies within Obsidian, with Elena favoring long-term observation and Reed approaching extraterrestrial threats from a military perspective.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and performance capture.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few characters who continues to view Alex as a person rather than a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the first South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth. The characters were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh, with the series instead exploring Alex's discomfort at meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that he cannot.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]], [[Isabela Merced]], [[Michael Jai White]], [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]], and [[Parminder Nagra]]. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear as Jack and Lisa through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories.<br /> <br /> ===Filming===<br /> <br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the Aethari Anchor network to be used across multiple episodes.<br /> <br /> Brow directed the opening production block, which included the series premiere and sequences depicting the first South City invasion. Goodwin directed the remaining production blocks.<br /> <br /> The Falcon Bar, sections of South City and Obsidian's command facility were constructed as practical sets. The Obsidian facility was designed as a connected environment containing a command center, laboratories, medical areas and lower containment levels.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city. The Arctic sequences used refrigerated sets, artificial snow and digitally extended exterior environments. The Everfall storyline combined rainforest location photography with practical alien structures and visual effects.<br /> <br /> Knight underwent stunt, wire and movement training for the role. Alex's flight was designed to appear controlled during ordinary movement but increasingly unstable when his emotions interfere with his concentration.<br /> <br /> Filming of the two-part finale was planned as the season's largest production block and included material set in South City, aboard Veyr-Thal's vessel and within the Aethari Anchor network. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> ===Design and visual effects===<br /> <br /> The production developed separate visual styles for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari structures use curved silver surfaces, fluid light and designs intended to appear grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery uses darker materials, rigid shapes and crown-like projections.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities are depicted through silver-gold energy designed to resemble light moving beneath liquid metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional fire or electricity, instead giving it weight and allowing it to react physically to Alex and his surroundings.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consists of a practical suit enhanced through visual effects. Judge's physical performance was retained, while digital effects increase the character's scale and add moving sections and crown structures to the armor.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created using a combination of practical set pieces, virtual production and computer-generated environments.<br /> <br /> ==Music==<br /> <br /> The score for ''Superboy'' was composed by [[Weston Doyle]] and [[Andrea Renwick]]. The composers developed a mixture of orchestral, choral and electronic music to represent the human and extraterrestrial sides of Alex's identity.<br /> <br /> Alex's central theme was designed to initially feel incomplete and restrained. Additional instruments and choral elements are introduced as he begins confronting his history and accepting his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The Aethari are represented through layered vocal textures and metallic percussion, while the Veyari Dominion uses lower brass, distorted electronic sounds and more rigid rhythmic patterns.<br /> <br /> ==Marketing==<br /> <br /> A promotional poster for the series was released ahead of its premiere. The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> ==Release==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The eight episodes of the first season will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

The first trailer is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> {{TOC limit|3}}<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> <br /> In 1990, South City residents Jack and Lisa Singh discover an extraterrestrial infant inside a spacecraft that crashes near their home. They conceal the child's origins and raise him as their son, Alex. As he grows older, Alex develops superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy.<br /> <br /> At 17 years old, Alex is confronted by Supreme Marshal Varyx, ruler of the Veyari Dominion, who identifies him as Alexander Val'Aeth, the surviving heir to the destroyed Aethari civilization. Alex refuses to abandon Earth and is forced to fight Varyx during an invasion of South City. Although Alex repels the attack, Jack and Lisa are killed and his Aethari guardian, Kael, disappears.<br /> <br /> Eight years later, Alex lives anonymously in Chicago and has largely abandoned his abilities. His past resurfaces after an ancient extraterrestrial structure is discovered beneath the Arctic and the secretive organization Obsidian reveals that it has monitored him since his arrival on Earth. As rival groups search for Aethari technology, Alex must uncover the truth surrounding his biological family, the destruction of Aethara and the role he is expected to play in an approaching interplanetary conflict.<br /> <br /> ==Episodes==<br /> <br /> {{Series overview<br /> | color1 = #1F4D34<br /> | link1 = #Season 1 (2026)<br /> | episodes1 = 8<br /> | start1 = {{Start date|2026|10|2}}<br /> | end1 = {{End date|2026|11|20}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Season 1 (2026)===<br /> <br /> {{Episode table<br /> | background = #1F4D34<br /> | overall = 5<br /> | title = 28<br /> | director = 18<br /> | writer = 25<br /> | airdate = 17<br /> | episodes =<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 1<br /> | Title = Ashes from Tomorrow<br /> | DirectedBy = [[Alex Brow]]<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|2}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 2<br /> | Title = The Shape of Falling<br /> | DirectedBy = [[Freddie Goodwin]]<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow and [[Lena Cross]]<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|9}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 3<br /> | Title = Saints Don't Descend<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Freddie Goodwin and Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|16}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 4<br /> | Title = Everfall<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = [[Jackson Gold]] and Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|23}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 5<br /> | Title = Blood Remembers<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|30}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 6<br /> | Title = When the Stars Kneel<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow and Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|11|6}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 7<br /> | Title = The World We Leave Behind<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow and Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|11|13}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 8<br /> | Title = The World We Choose<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow and Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|11|20}}<br /> | ShortSummary =<br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cast and characters==<br /> <br /> ===Main===<br /> <br /> * [[Aramis Knight]] as '''Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy''': An Aethari who was brought to Earth as an infant and raised by Jack and Lisa Singh. Alex possesses superhuman strength, flight, enhanced durability and the ability to generate silver-gold energy. Following the deaths of his adoptive parents, he abandons his identity as Superboy and attempts to live anonymously.<br /> * [[Rebecca Ferguson]] as '''Director Elena Cross''': The director of Obsidian, a secret organization that has monitored Alex since his arrival on Earth.<br /> * [[Joel Kinnaman]] as '''Commander Mason Reed''': Obsidian's tactical commander and a survivor of the organization's original expedition to Everfall.<br /> * [[Lee Pace]] as '''Kael''': An Aethari guardian who brought Alex to Earth and served his biological parents.<br /> * [[Christopher Judge]] as '''Supreme Marshal Varyx''': The ruler of the Veyari Dominion who seeks to control Alex and the Aethari Anchor network.<br /> * [[Xolo Maridueña]] as '''Jackson Reyes''': Alex's childhood friend who helps him reconnect with his human life.<br /> * [[Dylan Minnette]] as '''Ethan Miller''': Alex's former classmate, who spent years investigating the South City invasion before becoming involved with Helix.<br /> * [[Oscar Isaac]] as '''Seran Val'Aeth''': Alex's biological father, the former Aethari sovereign and a reluctant ally of Helix.<br /> * [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as '''Dr. Imani Shaw''': Obsidian's leading xenotechnology specialist.<br /> * [[Isabela Merced]] as '''Maya Torres''': An Obsidian systems analyst who helps Alex understand Aethari and Veyari technology.<br /> * [[Morena Baccarin]] as '''Lysara Val'Aeth''': Alex's biological mother, who was held in Helix custody following the destruction of Aethara.<br /> * [[Michael Jai White]] as '''Marcus Hale''': The owner of the Falcon Bar and one of Alex's closest friends in Chicago.<br /> * [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as '''Jack Singh''': Alex's adoptive father, who discovered him as an infant and raised him in South City.<br /> * [[Parminder Nagra]] as '''Lisa Singh''': Alex's adoptive mother, whose memories and recorded voice continue to influence him.<br /> <br /> ===Recurring===<br /> <br /> * [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as '''Proctor''': A cybernetically altered Helix commander attempting to extract Alex's biological authority.<br /> * [[Ruth Wilson]] as '''Dr. Sloane Varr / the Helix Woman''': A senior Helix scientist overseeing Lysara's containment and the organization's Everfall project.<br /> * [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as '''Sentinel''': An ancient mechanical entity recovered from the Arctic custodial machine.<br /> * [[Keith David]] as the voice of '''the Custodian''': A Veyari construct programmed to identify and preserve the Aethari line of succession.<br /> * [[Winston Duke]] as '''Veyr-Thal''': A Veyari officer who begins questioning Varyx and the Dominion's use of the Crown.<br /> * [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] as the voice of '''the Anchor''': The ancient intelligence governing Everfall, the Throne Gate and the Aethari succession network.<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> <br /> ===Development===<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' was created by [[Alex Brow]] and developed for television by [[Freddie Goodwin]]. The series was conceived as a new interpretation of the [[DC Comics]] character centered on Alex Singh, an original version of Superboy who was raised on Earth after being sent from the destroyed Aethari civilization.<br /> <br /> Development began at [[Elridge House Productions]], with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the project as a co-production company. [[Naomi Elridge]], [[Jordan Brackley]], [[Samira Collins]], and [[Devon Kaye]] serve as executive producers.<br /> <br /> The series was developed as a serialized superhero and science-fiction drama rather than a predominantly episodic program. Brow and Goodwin planned the first season as a single eight-episode story examining Alex's relationship with Earth, his biological heritage and the consequences of his earlier confrontation with the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> Rather than beginning with Alex discovering his abilities, the series opens after he has already operated as Superboy and experienced a major personal failure. Brow said this allowed the story to focus on a character who understands the physical requirements of heroism but no longer believes that he can endure its emotional consequences.<br /> <br /> The production chose to begin the present-day storyline eight years after the destruction of South City. The time jump allowed Alex to have established a new life in Chicago while showing that he had never fully recovered from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin also serves as an editor on the series. The first season was designed to increase gradually in scale, beginning as a character-focused mystery before expanding into a conflict involving Obsidian, Helix, the Aethari Anchor network and the Veyari Dominion.<br /> <br /> ===Writing===<br /> <br /> The writing team was led by Brow and Goodwin, with [[Lena Cross]] and [[Jackson Gold]] also contributing to the first season. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual episodes, allowing earlier installments to introduce dialogue, imagery and character decisions that would be revisited in the finale.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere, &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, and the fifth episode, &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;. He co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot;, and &quot;The World We Choose&quot; with Cross. Goodwin and Cross wrote &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot;, while Cross and Gold wrote &quot;Everfall&quot;.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited responsibility and [[found family]] as the season's primary themes. Alex's human name, Alex Singh, represents the life given to him by his adoptive parents, while Alexander Val'Aeth represents the identity and authority inherited from his biological family.<br /> <br /> Obsidian and Helix were created to represent contrasting human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian monitors and contains alien threats while remaining divided over whether Alex should be protected or controlled. Helix seeks to exploit Aethari and Veyari technology for its own purposes.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears during the opening episode but remains largely absent from the middle of the season. His influence instead continues through the damage caused by the first South City invasion, the actions of the Veyari Dominion and the fear that he will eventually return.<br /> <br /> The final two episodes, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, form a two-part [[season finale]]. They were written as one continuous story divided at the primary emotional turning point of Alex's conflict.<br /> <br /> The bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both finale scripts were completed on July 29.<br /> <br /> ===Casting===<br /> <br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast as Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy.

Judge portrays Varyx through a combination of live-action performance, prosthetics and performance capture.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Jackson was written as one of the few characters who continues to view Alex as a person rather than a superhero or extraterrestrial figure. Ethan's investigation into the first South City invasion brings him into contact with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] and [[Morena Baccarin]] were cast as Alex's biological parents, Seran and Lysara Val'Aeth.

Production ==<br /> === Development ===<br /> Development on ''Superboy'' began at [[Elridge House Productions]] in late 2025, with [[Blackveil Studios]] subsequently joining the series as a co-producer. The project was developed as a new serialized interpretation of the Superboy character centered on Alex Singh, an extraterrestrial raised on Earth who abandoned his public identity following the destruction of South City. An eight-episode first season was commissioned in early 2026.<br /> <br /> Alex Brow, who developed the season and serves as one of its primary writers, said the series was designed to begin after the event that would traditionally conclude a superhero [[origin story]]. Rather than showing Alex gradually discovering his abilities, the opening episode establishes that he has already been Superboy, suffered a devastating loss and spent eight years attempting to distance himself from the identity. Brow described the season as being about &quot;what happens after the symbol fails the person wearing it&quot;, adding that Alex's central conflict was not whether he possessed the power to become a hero, but whether he still believed that becoming one was worthwhile.<br /> <br /> The producers chose an eight-episode structure to allow the season to tell one continuous story rather than use a predominantly episodic format. Brow stated that there was &quot;never a version where Alex fought a different villain every week&quot;, explaining that each episode was intended to reveal another part of the mystery surrounding his arrival on Earth, the organization Obsidian and the conflict between the Aethari and the Veyari Dominion. Although the season was written to provide a conclusion to its central storyline, it was not developed as a [[miniseries]], with the producers indicating that further seasons could explore the consequences of Alex's decisions.<br /> <br /> Brow was selected to direct the [[series premiere]], &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot;, while Freddie Goodwin was hired to direct the remaining seven episodes. Goodwin said the directors wanted the season to feel as though it was &quot;constantly widening&quot;, beginning with Alex's isolated life in Chicago before gradually expanding into a story involving secret organizations, alien civilizations and events affecting the entire planet. He added that maintaining Alex's personal perspective remained important even as the scale of the season increased.<br /> <br /> Elridge House and Blackveil described the series as a character-driven science-fiction drama rather than a conventional superhero procedural. Brow said the production avoided presenting Alex as an invulnerable figure, explaining: &quot;He can survive things that would kill almost anybody, but that does not make him emotionally indestructible. The entire season is built around people discovering that difference.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> The writers' room began work in early 2026. Brow developed the overall seasonal story with Lena Cross, while Jackson Gold joined the writing team during development of the middle episodes. The writers established the conclusion of the season before completing the individual scripts, allowing earlier episodes to introduce imagery, dialogue and character decisions that would be revisited during the two-part finale.<br /> <br /> The season begins eight years after the first Veyari attack on South City. Alex, now 25 years old, is living in Chicago and has largely stopped using his abilities. Brow said the time jump was necessary because the series was not intended to depict Alex immediately recovering from the deaths of Jack and Lisa Singh. He explained that the character had &quot;already tried to move forward and failed quietly for years&quot; before the events of the series force him to confront his past.<br /> <br /> The writers identified identity, grief, inherited authority and [[found family]] as the season's central themes. Alex's Aethari name, Alexander Val'Aeth, was used to represent the identity imposed upon him by his biological lineage, while Alex Singh represented the life created for him by his adoptive parents. Cross said the writers did not view either identity as false, explaining that the conflict came from other characters insisting that Alex must choose one and reject the other.<br /> <br /> The fictional organizations Obsidian and Helix were created to present opposing human responses to extraterrestrial life. Obsidian was conceived as an institution that had monitored Alex since his arrival but remained divided over whether to protect, study or control him. Helix was written as a more openly exploitative organization seeking access to Aethari and Veyari technology. Brow said neither group was intended to be entirely separate from Alex's personal history, with their involvement gradually revealing that the circumstances of his arrival were more complicated than he had believed.<br /> <br /> Supreme Marshal Varyx appears in the premiere but is largely withheld from the middle of the season before returning in &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot;. Brow said the writers wanted Varyx to remain present through the consequences of his earlier actions rather than repeatedly confronting Alex. He described the character as &quot;the shadow hanging over the season&quot;, adding: &quot;The audience should feel that he is coming long before he physically returns.&quot; Varyx's renewed pursuit of Alex forms the primary conflict of the final three episodes.<br /> <br /> The first bronze drafts of &quot;Ashes from Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot; were completed on May 22, 2026. Bronze drafts of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; and &quot;Everfall&quot; followed on June 3. &quot;Blood Remembers&quot; and &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; were completed on July 27, while both parts of the season finale, &quot;The World We Leave Behind&quot; and &quot;The World We Choose&quot;, were completed on July 29. The credited writer of &quot;Saints Don't Descend&quot; had not been publicly announced by that date.<br /> <br /> Brow wrote the premiere and &quot;Blood Remembers&quot;, and co-wrote &quot;The Shape of Falling&quot;, &quot;When the Stars Kneel&quot; and both parts of the finale with Cross. Cross co-wrote &quot;Everfall&quot; with Gold. Brow and Cross described the final two episodes as one continuous story divided at its emotional turning point rather than two independently structured episodes.<br /> <br /> Regarding the finale, Brow said the season had been constructed around a choice Alex would eventually have to make about who possessed authority over his life. He said the conclusion was intended to resolve the question introduced in the premiere: &quot;Is he the child Earth found, the heir another world lost, or something he gets to define for himself?&quot;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Aramis Knight]] was cast in the lead role of Alex Singh / Alexander Val'Aeth / Superboy. Brow said Knight was selected because the production needed an actor who could present Alex as physically powerful while still conveying the character's exhaustion and reluctance to return to public life. Knight underwent wire, movement and fight training in preparation for the role, with the production developing separate physical styles for Alex's controlled flight and his less stable uses of Aethari energy.<br /> <br /> [[Rebecca Ferguson]] and [[Joel Kinnaman]] joined the cast as Obsidian director Elena Cross and tactical commander Mason Reed, respectively. The characters were written as having opposing methods but a shared history connected to Alex's arrival. Goodwin described Elena as someone who had &quot;spent most of her life preparing for Alex to become a threat&quot;, while Reed was conceived as a soldier increasingly uncertain that Obsidian's secrecy could still be justified.<br /> <br /> [[Lee Pace]] was cast as Kael, the Aethari guardian responsible for bringing Alex to Earth, while [[Christopher Judge]] was cast as Supreme Marshal Varyx. Brow said Pace's performance was intended to leave the audience uncertain whether Kael was acting as Alex's protector, servant or jailer. Judge performed Varyx through a combination of on-set acting, prosthetics and performance capture. His voice was recorded without substantial digital alteration, with the sound department instead using environmental effects to give the character a greater physical presence.<br /> <br /> [[Xolo Maridueña]] and [[Dylan Minnette]] were cast as Alex's childhood friends Jackson Reyes and Ethan Miller. Maridueña described Jackson as one of the few people who continues to treat Alex as a person rather than an alien or superhero. Ethan was written as a more complicated connection to Alex's former life, having spent years investigating the South City incident and becoming involved with Helix.<br /> <br /> [[Oscar Isaac]] was cast as former Aethari sovereign Seran Val'Aeth, Alex's biological father, with [[Morena Baccarin]] cast as his mother, Lysara Val'Aeth. Brow said Seran and Lysara were not intended to replace Jack and Lisa Singh in Alex's life, explaining that the season instead examines the discomfort of meeting biological parents who remember a relationship that Alex was too young to retain.<br /> <br /> The remaining principal cast includes [[Gugu Mbatha-Raw]] as Obsidian xenotechnology specialist Dr. Imani Shaw, [[Isabela Merced]] as systems analyst Maya Torres, [[Michael Jai White]] as Falcon Bar owner Marcus Hale, [[Sendhil Ramamurthy]] as Jack Singh and [[Parminder Nagra]] as Lisa Singh. Ramamurthy and Nagra appear through scenes set during Alex's childhood, archival recordings and memories that continue to influence him in the present-day storyline.<br /> <br /> The recurring cast includes [[Andrew Scott (actor)|Andrew Scott]] as the Helix commander Proctor, [[Ruth Wilson]] as Dr. Sloane Varr, [[Doug Jones (actor)|Doug Jones]] as Sentinel and [[Winston Duke]] as the Veyari officer Veyr-Thal. [[Keith David]] and [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]] provide the voices of the Custodian and the Anchor, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began in April 2026 and was still underway as of July 29. The season was filmed in production blocks rather than episode order, allowing sets representing Obsidian, Helix and the alien Anchor network to be reused across multiple episodes. Brow directed the premiere as a separate opening block before Goodwin assumed directing duties for the remainder of the season.<br /> <br /> The production used a combination of constructed sets, location filming and [[virtual production]]. The Falcon Bar and sections of South City were built as practical environments, while Obsidian's underground facility was constructed as a connected multi-level set to allow scenes to move between its command center, laboratories and lower containment areas without relying entirely on digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Location photography representing Chicago was combined with second-unit footage of the city's streets and riverfront. Arctic sequences were filmed using refrigerated sets, artificial snow and exterior landscape plates, while the Everfall storyline combined rainforest location work with a large practical entrance set. Scenes set aboard Veyari vessels and within the Anchor network used partial physical environments surrounded by digital extensions.<br /> <br /> Knight performed a significant portion of Alex's wire work. The production differentiated his movement from conventional flying superheroes by giving Alex's flight a slight instability whenever his emotions disrupted his control. Goodwin said the intention was for the audience to recognize Alex's emotional state through movement before he spoke.<br /> <br /> Filming of the final two episodes was designed as the season's largest production block. Sets created for South City, the Veyari dreadnought and the Aethari world of Aethara were used together for the finale. The producers said the final episodes required more stunt performers, practical destruction and visual-effects photography than the first six episodes combined. Principal photography was expected to conclude in August 2026.<br /> <br /> === Design and visual effects ===<br /> The production developed separate visual languages for Aethari, Veyari, Obsidian and Helix technology. Aethari technology was designed around curved silver surfaces, fluid light and structures that appeared grown rather than manufactured. Veyari machinery used darker materials, rigid geometry and crown-like projections, while human technology remained visibly mechanical and imperfect.<br /> <br /> Alex's abilities were depicted using silver-gold energy intended to resemble light moving beneath metal. The visual-effects team avoided presenting the energy as conventional electricity or fire, instead designing it to react to Alex's body and surroundings as though it possessed weight. Varyx's energy and the Veyari Crown were given a colder white appearance to distinguish their use of the same underlying technology.<br /> <br /> Varyx's armor consisted of a practical suit enhanced with digital height, facial details and moving sections. Judge's physical performance was retained wherever possible, while visual effects increased the character's scale and added the crown structures extending from his armor. The damaged portion of the armor was designed to preserve the injury Varyx received during the first South City attack.<br /> <br /> The Anchor, Everfall and the Throne Gate were created through a combination of practical set pieces and computer-generated environments. Goodwin said the alien structures were designed to appear ancient without resembling ruins, explaining that they were &quot;still working exactly as intended, which is much more frightening than finding something broken.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Music ===<br /> The season's composer had not been publicly announced as of July 29, 2026. The producers said the score would combine orchestral themes with processed choral and electronic elements. Alex's theme was designed to remain incomplete during the early episodes, with additional instrumentation introduced as he gradually accepts parts of his human and Aethari identities.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> <br /> The first trailer for the season is scheduled to be released on August 2, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> The season is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026. Its eight episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for November 20.<br /> <br /> {{Superboy}}</div>

Created by Alex Brow, it stars Neel Sethi as [[Alex Singh (Goodwinverse)|Alex Singh]], a young man who becomes known as Superboy after discovering that he possesses extraordinary abilities.<br /> <br /> The series follows Singh as he attempts to protect his city while learning the truth behind his powers, his origin, and the forces seeking to control him. The first season consists of eight episodes and is scheduled to premiere on October 2, 2026 and will run until November 20, 2026.<br /> <br /> == Premise ==<br /> <br /> Alex Singh is a young man living in a city increasingly shaped by crime, corruption, and unexplained threats. After a life-changing incident reveals that he possesses superhuman abilities, Singh is forced to confront the possibility that his identity and past are far more complicated than he had believed.

Rather than beginning as an established figure, Singh is portrayed as someone still learning what heroism means and whether he is capable of carrying the symbol others begin to place on him.<br /> <br /> == Episodes ==<br /> <br /> === Season 1 (2026) ===<br /> {{Episode table<br /> | background = #1F4D34<br /> | overall = 5<br /> | title = 28<br /> | director = 18<br /> | writer = 23<br /> | airdate = 17<br /> | episodes =<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 1<br /> | Title = Ashes from Tomorrow<br /> | DirectedBy = [[Alex Brow]]<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|2}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 2<br /> | Title = The Shape of Falling<br /> | DirectedBy = [[Freddie Goodwin]]<br /> | WrittenBy = Alex Brow &amp; [[Lena Cross]]<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|9}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 3<br /> | Title = Saints Don't Descend<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Freddie Goodwin &amp; Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|16}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 4<br /> | Title = Everfall<br /> | DirectedBy = Freddie Goodwin<br /> | WrittenBy = Jackson Gold &amp; Lena Cross<br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|23}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 5<br /> | Title = <br /> | DirectedBy = <br /> | WrittenBy = <br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|10|30}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 6<br /> | Title = <br /> | DirectedBy = <br /> | WrittenBy = <br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|11|6}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 7<br /> | Title = <br /> | DirectedBy = <br /> | WrittenBy = <br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|11|13}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Episode list<br /> | EpisodeNumber = 8<br /> | Title = <br /> | DirectedBy = <br /> | WrittenBy = <br /> | OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2026|11|20}}<br /> | ShortSummary = <br /> | LineColor = 1F4D34<br /> }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> <br /> === Conception ===<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' was conceived as a character-driven superhero drama centered on legacy, identity, and responsibility. The series was developed as a new interpretation of the Superboy concept, focusing on Alex Singh as an original version of the character rather than a direct adaptation of a single comic storyline. The creative direction emphasized a grounded emotional arc, with Singh's abilities serving as both a source of wonder and conflict.<br /> <br /> Alex Brow created the series and helped shape its central themes, while [[Freddie Goodwin]] developed the project for television. The series was designed to introduce Singh as a young hero at the beginning of his journey, allowing the first season to focus on discovery, fear, public scrutiny, and the gradual acceptance of responsibility.<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> <br /> Development on the series began with [[Elridge House Productions]] and [[Blackveil Studios]] exploring a superhero drama that could combine large-scale comic book mythology with a more personal coming-of-age structure. Goodwin was brought on to develop the series, with Elridge, Jordan Brackley, Samira Collins, and Devon Kaye serving as executive producers.<br /> <br /> The first season was planned as an eight-episode story. The season was structured around Singh's emergence as Superboy, the mystery behind his powers, and the effect his appearance has on the city around him. The writers aimed to avoid presenting Singh as a fully formed hero from the beginning, instead focusing on the consequences of a young person being forced into a role he does not initially understand.<br /> <br /> The release model for the season was planned around a two-episode premiere, followed by weekly releases. This structure was chosen to allow the opening episodes to establish the world, central conflict, and Singh's transformation before the season moved into a weekly format.<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> <br /> Dev Patel was cast as Alex Singh, the central character of the series. His casting was intended to give the character a more mature and emotionally complex interpretation, with the series focusing on Singh's internal conflict as much as his superhero identity.<br /> <br /> The supporting cast had not been fully announced at the time of the series' initial promotion. Early materials focused primarily on Patel's role as Singh and the series' reinterpretation of the Superboy mythology.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> <br /> Production on the first season was handled by Elridge House Productions and Blackveil Studios. Clara Mendez served as cinematographer, while Freddie Goodwin served as editor. The visual style of the series was designed to balance grounded city-based drama with heightened superhero imagery, using darker urban environments, natural lighting, and controlled action sequences to distinguish Singh's world from more traditional superhero settings.<br /> <br /> The season's production approach emphasized practical locations, character-focused staging, and visual restraint during early episodes, with larger superhero imagery planned to increase as Singh becomes more comfortable with his abilities.<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> <br /> The music for ''Superboy'' was composed by Weston Doyle and Andrea Renwick. The score was developed to reflect the dual nature of the series, combining emotional character themes with more expansive superhero motifs. Early themes for Singh were designed to feel uncertain and restrained, gradually becoming more confident as the character accepts his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The music also incorporates darker electronic textures and orchestral elements to support the show's tone, particularly in scenes involving the mystery surrounding Singh's origin and the forces attempting to control him.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The first two episodes are scheduled to be released together as a two-episode premiere, with the remaining six episodes released weekly. The season is scheduled to conclude on November 13, 2026.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

was conceived as a character-driven superhero drama centered on legacy, identity, and responsibility. The series was developed as a new interpretation of the Superboy concept, focusing on Alex Singh as an original version of the character rather than a direct adaptation of a single comic storyline. The creative direction emphasized a grounded emotional arc, with Singh's abilities serving as both a source of wonder and conflict.<br /> <br /> Alex Brow created the series and helped shape its central themes, while [[Freddie Goodwin]] developed the project for television. The series was designed to introduce Singh as a young hero at the beginning of his journey, allowing the first season to focus on discovery, fear, public scrutiny, and the gradual acceptance of responsibility.<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> <br /> Development on the series began with [[Elridge House Productions]] and [[Blackveil Studios]] exploring a superhero drama that could combine large-scale comic book mythology with a more personal coming-of-age structure. Goodwin was brought on to develop the series, with Elridge, Jordan Brackley, Samira Collins, and Devon Kaye serving as executive producers.<br /> <br /> The first season was planned as an eight-episode story. The season was structured around Singh's emergence as Superboy, the mystery behind his powers, and the effect his appearance has on the city around him. The writers aimed to avoid presenting Singh as a fully formed hero from the beginning, instead focusing on the consequences of a young person being forced into a role he does not initially understand.<br /> <br /> The release model for the season was planned around a two-episode premiere, followed by weekly releases. This structure was chosen to allow the opening episodes to establish the world, central conflict, and Singh's transformation before the season moved into a weekly format.<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> <br /> Dev Patel was cast as Alex Singh, the central character of the series. His casting was intended to give the character a more mature and emotionally complex interpretation, with the series focusing on Singh's internal conflict as much as his superhero identity.<br /> <br /> The supporting cast had not been fully announced at the time of the series' initial promotion. Early materials focused primarily on Patel's role as Singh and the series' reinterpretation of the Superboy mythology.<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> <br /> Production on the first season was handled by Elridge House Productions and Blackveil Studios. Clara Mendez served as cinematographer, while Freddie Goodwin served as editor. The visual style of the series was designed to balance grounded city-based drama with heightened superhero imagery, using darker urban environments, natural lighting, and controlled action sequences to distinguish Singh's world from more traditional superhero settings.<br /> <br /> The season's production approach emphasized practical locations, character-focused staging, and visual restraint during early episodes, with larger superhero imagery planned to increase as Singh becomes more comfortable with his abilities.<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> <br /> The music for ''Superboy'' was composed by Weston Doyle and Andrea Renwick. The score was developed to reflect the dual nature of the series, combining emotional character themes with more expansive superhero motifs. Early themes for Singh were designed to feel uncertain and restrained, gradually becoming more confident as the character accepts his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The music also incorporates darker electronic textures and orchestral elements to support the show's tone, particularly in scenes involving the mystery surrounding Singh's origin and the forces attempting to control him.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The first two episodes are scheduled to be released together as a two-episode premiere, with the remaining six episodes released weekly. The season is scheduled to conclude on November 13, 2026.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

Clara Mendez served as cinematographer, while Freddie Goodwin served as editor. The visual style of the series was designed to balance grounded city-based drama with heightened superhero imagery, using darker urban environments, natural lighting, and controlled action sequences to distinguish Singh's world from more traditional superhero settings.<br /> <br /> The season's production approach emphasized practical locations, character-focused staging, and visual restraint during early episodes, with larger superhero imagery planned to increase as Singh becomes more comfortable with his abilities.<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> <br /> The music for ''Superboy'' was composed by Weston Doyle and Andrea Renwick. The score was developed to reflect the dual nature of the series, combining emotional character themes with more expansive superhero motifs. Early themes for Singh were designed to feel uncertain and restrained, gradually becoming more confident as the character accepts his identity as Superboy.<br /> <br /> The music also incorporates darker electronic textures and orchestral elements to support the show's tone, particularly in scenes involving the mystery surrounding Singh's origin and the forces attempting to control him.<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> ''Superboy'' is scheduled to premiere on [[Netflix]] on October 2, 2026. The first two episodes are scheduled to be released together as a two-episode premiere, with the remaining six episodes released weekly. The season is scheduled to conclude on November 13, 2026.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> {{Reflist}}</div>

Produced by [[Mob Productions]] and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is [[List of Mob Cinematic Universe films|the 2nd film]] in the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) and the second [[Reboot (fiction)|reboot]] of the [[Fantastic Four in film|''Fantastic Four'' film series]]. The film is directed by [[Jackson Miller]] from a screenplay by the writing duo [[Sara Case]] and [[Patrick Reid]]. It features an [[ensemble cast]] including [[Pedro Pascal]], [[Vanessa Kirby]], [[Joseph Quinn (actor)|Joseph Quinn]], and [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] as the titular team, alongside [[Julia Garner]], and [[Ralph Ineson]].<br /> <br /> During a interview in 2022, Freddie Goodwin confirmed that he had been focusing on introducing various heroes to his own universe — and originally wanted to introduce the Avengers into the universe, though felt the Fantastic Four would be better for the Mutant themed story. Goodwin had a final draft by September 2022 though filming wasn't planned to begin until mid-2023. By March 2024, Goodwin revealed the release date of the film being for July 28, 2024.<br /> <br /> [[20th Century Fox]] began work on a new Fantastic Four film after the failure of ''[[Fantastic Four (2015 film)|Fantastic Four]]'' (2015). After the studio was [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquired by Disney]] in March 2019, control of the franchise was transferred to Mob Productions, and a new film was announced that July. [[Jon Watts]] was set as director in December 2020, but stepped down in April 2022. Shakman replaced him that September when Kaplan and Springer were working on the script. Casting was underway by early 2023, and Case joined to rewrite the script by that March, with Squires and Cameron also writing. Mob Productions wanted to tell a new story with the characters rather than retell their [[origin story]]. Pearson joined to polish the script by mid-February 2024, when the main cast was announced, and additional casting took place in the following months. Filming occured throughout 2023.<br /> <br /> ''The Fantastic Four'' premiered on July 22, 2024, at the [[David H. Koch Theater]] in New York City, and was released on July 28, 2024, as part of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] of the MCU. The film recieved generally positive reviews from critics and has grossed $892.67 million worldwide. A prequel, ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'', was released in January 2025. A sequel, titled ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'', is scheduled to be released in November 2028.<br /> == Plot ==<br /> In 2014, childhood friends [[Reed Richards]] and [[Ben Grimm]] construct a prototype teleportation device using equipment salvaged from Ben's family scrapyard. Their experiment attracts the attention of Professor [[Franklin Storm]], director of the government-funded [[Baxter Foundation]], which recruits young scientists to research interdimensional travel. Impressed by Reed's work, Franklin invites him to join a project led by his former protégé, [[Victor von Doom]], alongside Franklin's children, scientist [[Susan Storm|Sue Storm]] and engineer [[Johnny Storm]].<br /> <br /> The team completes the Quantum Gate, a machine capable of transporting matter to a previously unknown parallel dimension that they name Planet Zero. After a successful unmanned test, Baxter Foundation supervisor Dr. Allen announces that government-selected astronauts will conduct the first human expedition, excluding the scientists who created the device. Believing they deserve to see their discovery for themselves, Reed, Johnny, and Victor secretly activate the Quantum Gate. Reed convinces Ben to accompany them, while Sue remains behind to monitor the system. The four arrive on Planet Zero and discover a seemingly lifeless landscape filled with unstable energy and green, lava-like material. Victor approaches the substance, causing the ground to rupture beneath them. Reed, Johnny, and Ben reach the transport platform, but Victor falls into the collapsing terrain before Sue can return the others to Earth.<br /> <br /> The Quantum Gate explodes during their return, exposing Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben to energy from Planet Zero. Reed develops the ability to stretch and reshape his body, Sue can become invisible and create force fields, Johnny can generate fire and fly, and Ben is transformed into a powerful being covered in rock-like skin. The four are taken into government custody at Area 57, where their abilities are examined and treated as potential military assets. Believing that he caused the accident and Ben's transformation, Reed escapes before the government can begin testing him. He promises Ben that he will find a cure and disappears. <br /> <br /> One year later, Reed is living as a fugitive in Central America and has created a specialized suit that allows him to better control his body. He continues researching the accident and concludes that returning to Planet Zero may provide the energy needed to reverse their transformations. Sue locates him by identifying the unique energy signature produced by his experiments, and Ben—who has been deployed by the military on covert missions—is sent to capture him. Reed is returned to Area 57, where Dr. Allen offers him access to the Baxter Foundation's resources in exchange for rebuilding the Quantum Gate. Johnny and Sue have also begun working with the government and wear specialized suits designed to regulate their powers. Ben, resentful that Reed abandoned him, refuses to believe his promise that their conditions can be reversed.<br /> <br /> After Reed repairs the gate, a government expedition returns to Planet Zero. The team discovers Victor alive and fused to his damaged environmental suit. Exposure to the dimension's energy has granted him telekinetic abilities and connected him physically to Planet Zero. He is brought back to Earth, where Franklin attempts to reason with him. Victor believes humanity will inevitably exploit and destroy Planet Zero as it has Earth. Viewing the dimension as his true home, he decides that Earth must be eliminated before another expedition can take place. He uses his powers to kill the personnel at Area 57, including Dr. Allen and Franklin, before opening the Quantum Gate and returning to Planet Zero. Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben follow him through the portal. Victor, now calling himself Doom, activates a machine built from the remains of the original expedition. The device creates a massive portal above Planet Zero that begins consuming Earth's surface and transferring its matter into the alternate dimension. The four attempt to confront Doom individually but are defeated. Reed realizes that Doom expects them to behave as separate experiments rather than as a team. Sue contains the portal's energy with her force fields while Johnny redirects the energy surrounding the machine. Reed restrains Doom long enough for Ben to strike him into the portal's central beam, disintegrating him. Johnny then overloads the machine, and Sue closes the portal before it can consume Earth.<br /> <br /> After returning home, the four refuse to continue serving as government weapons. In recognition of their actions, they are granted control of a new research facility known as Central City, where they can study their powers and conduct independent scientific work. Reed proposes that they use their abilities to protect others and explore phenomena beyond conventional science. When the group is asked what they intend to call themselves, Reed looks toward his teammates and begins to answer.<br /> <br /> The film ends before he finishes, revealing the Fantastic Four insignia.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> * [[Pedro Pascal]] as [[Reed Richards (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic]]: The leader of the [[Fantastic Four (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Fantastic Four]].&lt;ref name=&quot;CastConfirm&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Vanessa Kirby]] as [[Invisible Woman|Sue Storm / Invisible Woman]]: Johnny's sister.&lt;ref name=&quot;CastConfirm&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Joseph Quinn (actor)|Joseph Quinn]] as [[Human Torch|Johnny Storm / Human Torch]]:&lt;br /&gt;Sue's brother.&lt;ref name=&quot;CastConfirm&quot; /&gt; Quinn was a fan of [[Chris Evans (actor)|Chris Evans]]'s portrayal of the character in [[Tim Story]]'s ''[[Fantastic Four (2005 film)|Fantastic Four]]'' (2005) and ''[[Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer]]'' (2007), but did not base his own portrayal on Evans's version.&lt;ref name=&quot;QuinnApr2024&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] as [[Ben Grimm|Ben Grimm / The Thing]]:&lt;br /&gt;A former astronaut who is encased in a layer of orange rock.&lt;ref name=&quot;CastConfirm&quot; /&gt; Bachrach portrays the character through [[performance capture]] and [[computer generated imagery]] (CGI) rather than [[prosthetic makeup]].&lt;ref name=&quot;BachrachFeb2024&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Julia Garner]] as [[Shalla-Bal|Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer]]&lt;ref name=&quot;Garner&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Ralph Ineson]] as [[Galactus]]: An intergalactic being who consumes the life force of planets.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ineson&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;InesonConfirm&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additionally, [[Paul Walter Hauser]],&lt;ref name=&quot;Hauser&quot; /&gt; [[John Malkovich]],&lt;ref name=&quot;Malkovich&quot; /&gt; and [[Natasha Lyonne]] have been cast in undisclosed roles.&lt;ref name=&quot;Lyonne&quot; /&gt; The character [[Mole Man]] is expected to appear.&lt;ref name=&quot;MoleMan&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> === Background ===<br /> After the critical and commercial failure of the 2015 film ''[[Fantastic Four (2015 film)|Fantastic Four]]'', co-written and directed by [[Josh Trank]] and based on the [[Marvel Comics]] superhero team [[Fantastic Four|of the same name]], [[20th Century Fox]] began looking at new directions to take the franchise. Having also produced [[Fantastic Four in film#Tim Story films (2005–2007)|two earlier ''Fantastic Four'' films]] directed by [[Tim Story]] a decade prior, the studio did not want to just make another ''Fantastic Four'' film.&lt;ref name=&quot;HawleyDoom&quot; /&gt; By June 2017, [[Seth Grahame-Smith]] was writing a new film that would shift focus to [[Franklin Richards (comics)|Franklin]] and [[Valeria Richards]], the children of original Fantastic Four leaders [[Mister Fantastic|Reed Richards]] and [[Invisible Woman|Sue Storm]]. Taking inspiration from the ''[[Ultimate Fantastic Four]]'' comic books, the screenplay included original Fantastic Four members the [[Thing (comics)|Thing]] and the [[Human Torch]], and was described as kid-centric with a tone closer to ''[[The Incredibles]]'' (2004) than Trank's darker film.&lt;ref name=&quot;Grahame-Smith&quot; /&gt; The basis of the screenplay came from a separate script that Carter Blanchard had adapted from the children's book ''Kindergarten Heroes'' by [[Mark Millar]]. Millar previously consulted with Fox on their Marvel-based films.&lt;ref name=&quot;KindergartenHeroes&quot; /&gt; In July, [[Noah Hawley]], who had created the [[Marvel Television]] series ''[[Legion (TV series)|Legion]]'' (2017–2019), was hired to develop a separate film focused on [[Doctor Doom]], the Fantastic Four's primary antagonist.&lt;ref name=&quot;HawleyDoom&quot; /&gt; [[The Walt Disney Company]] officially [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquired 21st Century Fox]] in March 2019 and gained the film rights for the Marvel Comics characters that Fox controlled, including the Fantastic Four, for its subsidiary [[Marvel Studios|Mob Productions]].&lt;ref name=&quot;DisneyFoxDealClose&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;FoxDisneyPressRelease&quot; /&gt; The Marvel-based films that Fox had been developing were placed &quot;on hold&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;FoxMarvelOnHold&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Mob Productions president Mark Rogueson confirmed in July 2019 that they were developing a new Fantastic Four film, after announcing the company's [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four|Phase Four]] slate of projects for their [[shared universe]], the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU).&lt;ref name=&quot;SDCC2019&quot; /&gt; Feige said he was &quot;extremely excited about those characters, and about bringing Marvel's first family up to the sort of platform and level they deserve&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;FeigeExcited&quot; /&gt; In December 2020, Feige announced that [[Jon Watts]], who previously directed the [[Spider-Man (2017 film series)|MCU ''Spider-Man'' films]], had been hired to direct ''Fantastic Four''.&lt;ref name=&quot;Watts/Film&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;WattsMarvel&quot; /&gt; Mob Productions had begun meeting with writers for the film by February 2021.&lt;ref name=&quot;KrollWriters&quot; /&gt; That June, Disney CEO [[Bob Chapek]] said Feige and Mob Productions were planning to &quot;mine&quot; the ''Fantastic Four'' franchise.&lt;ref name=&quot;ChapekJune2021THR&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;ChapekJune2021MovieWeb&quot; /&gt; In April 2022, Watts stepped down as director of the film, citing the need to step away from superhero films following his near-constant work filming and promoting the MCU ''Spider-Man'' films for seven years. Mob Productions and Watts both expressed interest in working together again in the future.&lt;ref name=&quot;WattsExit&quot; /&gt; [[John Krasinski]] debuted in the role of [[Reed Richards (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic]], a member of the [[Fantastic Four (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Fantastic Four]], in the MCU film ''[[Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness]]'', which was released in May 2022. Krasinski had been a popular suggestion for the role among fans for some time, and rumors that he had been cast as Richards had especially circulated since confirmation of the new film's development. The version of the character that he portrayed in ''Multiverse of Madness'' was from [[Earth-838]], an alternate universe to the main MCU, and was a member of the [[Illuminati (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Illuminati]].&lt;ref name=&quot;KrasinskiMoM&quot; /&gt; [[Grant Curtis]] and Nick Pepin were serving as producers on the new ''Fantastic Four'' film by that time, after working on the Mob Productions [[Disney+]] miniseries ''[[Moon Knight (miniseries)|Moon Knight]]'' (2022).&lt;ref name=&quot;CurtisPepin&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions was not close to shortening their list of director candidates by the start of June 2022. This reportedly featured a large mix of directors, including some high-profile filmmakers. Feige was said to be looking for a director who could oversee the filming process without him being present for the entire shoot, similar to ''Multiverse of Madness'' director [[Sam Raimi]].&lt;ref name=&quot;DirectorSearchJun2022&quot; /&gt; Later that month, Raimi said Feige had cast Krasinski in ''Multiverse of Madness'' because it was for an alternate universe [[cameo appearance]] and an opportunity to deliver on a popular fan casting. This led to speculation about whether Krasinski's role was a one-off or if he would return to star in the ''Fantastic Four'' film.&lt;ref name=&quot;RaimiKrasinskiFuture&quot; /&gt; Krasinski later said he appreciated the role but there had been no discussions about him reprising the character.&lt;ref name=&quot;KrasinskiOneOff&quot; /&gt; At the 2022 [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in July, Feige announced that the film would be released on November 8, 2024, as the first film in [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Six|Phase Six]] of the MCU.&lt;ref name=&quot;SDCC2022&quot; /&gt; Filming was set to begin in 2023.&lt;ref name=&quot;2023FilmingStart&quot; /&gt; Soon afterward, Feige said the film would not be an [[origin story]] for the Fantastic Four like the Story and Trank films were. He likened this to the MCU introducing [[Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Spider-Man]] without retelling his origin story (there were also [[Spider-Man in film|several ''Spider-Man'' films]] before the MCU version). He explained that many audience members were aware of the basic Fantastic Four details and Mob Productions instead wanted to tell a new story, and added that the studio felt they had &quot;set a very high bar for ourselves&quot; based on the group's long history in the comic books going back to 1961.&lt;ref name=&quot;FeigeNotAnOrigin&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Matt Shakman]] was in early talks to direct the film by late August 2022.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanDeadlineEarlyTalks&quot; /&gt; He and [[Michael Matthews (director)|Michael Matthews]] were considered the finalists in a search that also considered [[Reid Carolin]].&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanTHREarlyTalks&quot; /&gt; ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'' felt Shakman was the person to beat given his familiarity with Feige after directing the Mob Productions Disney+ miniseries ''[[WandaVision]]'' (2021).&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanDeadlineEarlyTalks&quot; /&gt; Shakman subsequently exited a [[Development of Star Trek 4|planned ''Star Trek'' film]] due to the schedule for ''Fantastic Four''.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanNoStarTrek&quot; /&gt; Feige confirmed that Shakman would direct the film at the 2022 [[D23 Expo]] in September.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanConfirm&quot; /&gt; Later that month, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer were revealed to have been writing the script with Feige for some time prior to Shakman's hiring. The four were set to work on aligning their visions for the film while Feige and Shakman began searching for actors.&lt;ref name=&quot;Writers&quot; /&gt; In October, the film's release date was pushed back to February 14, 2025.&lt;ref name=&quot;Feb2025Release&quot; /&gt; At the end of the month, Jeff Sneider of ''Above the Line'' reported that Doctor Doom was not planned to be the main antagonist of the film, but could potentially have a small role such as an appearance in a [[post-credits scene]];&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderDoomSmallRole&quot; /&gt; Mob Productions were looking for a major star to play him.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderAug2023Castings&quot; /&gt; Talent agents were preparing for casting by January 2023.&lt;ref name=&quot;CastingJan2023&quot; /&gt; The following month, Shakman revealed that filming would begin in early 2024 and explained that he chose to work on ''Fantastic Four'' as he did not want to pass up the opportunity and was excited by its focus on family, optimism, and technology, even though he enjoyed his work on the ''[[Star Trek]]'' film.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanFeb2023TheWrap&quot; /&gt; He also confirmed that they were in the early process of casting,&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanFeb2023Collider&quot; /&gt; which would begin later that month. The focus was reportedly on casting Sue Storm before the other Fantastic Four members.&lt;ref name=&quot;KrollCasting&quot; /&gt; Feige said the characters would be a big pillar in the MCU moving forward.&lt;ref name=&quot;FeigeFeb2023&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Pre-production ===<br /> Sara Case was hired to rewrite the script at the end of March 2023. Borys Kit of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' felt Case's hiring indicated a possible tonal shift for the film, since Case had written many science fiction projects while previous writers Kaplan and Springer were known more for comedy.&lt;ref name=&quot;Friedman&quot; /&gt; Sneider reported that Shakman wanted to heavily feature cosmic elements from the 1960s, including the characters [[Galactus]]—who was set to be the main antagonist—and [[Silver Surfer]],&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderApr2023SR&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderReleaseDoubt&quot; /&gt; and said Case was hired to bring the film closer to Feige and Shakman's vision. Marvel was still open to working with Kaplan and Springer in the future.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderApr2023BGR&quot; /&gt; In April 2023, Sneider reported that Mob Productions had offered [[Adam Driver]] the role of Reed Richards.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderDriverOffer&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderNov2023Castings&quot; /&gt; The next month, filming was set to begin in January 2024 in London.&lt;ref name=&quot;Jan2024FilmingStart&quot; /&gt; Also in May, Sneider reported that [[Emma Stone]] was the studio's top choice for the role of Sue Storm, but the actress declined the offer after they refused to pay her the $15–20&amp;nbsp;million she wanted for the role.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderReleaseDoubt&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderNov2023Castings&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderStoneChoice&quot; /&gt; Driver also passed on the film after the studio did not want to pay his high salary,&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderNov2023Castings&quot; /&gt; and after he struggled to connect with an early draft of the script,&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderAug2023Castings&quot; /&gt; but Sneider believed that he could re-consider after Case submitted a new draft following the [[2023 Writers Guild of America strike]].&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderAug2023Castings&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In June, the film's release was pushed back to May 2, 2025.&lt;ref name=&quot;May2025Release&quot; /&gt; Prior to the start of the [[2023 SAG-AFTRA strike]] in July, Mob Productions held screen tests for the role of Richards with several actors, including [[Christopher Abbott]] and [[Jamie Dornan]], which &quot;did {{em|not}} go very well&quot; according to Sneider.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderNov2023Castings&quot; /&gt; The studio wanted a high-profile actor and offered the role to [[Jake Gyllenhaal]], who portrayed [[Mysterio (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Mysterio]] in the MCU film ''[[Spider-Man: Far From Home]]'' (2019), but they did not want to pay the salary he asked for as Feige wanted to contain the studio's talent spending.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderNov2023Castings&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;GyllenhaalPriorMCU&quot; /&gt; They were also considering non-white actors for Richards and [[Pedro Pascal]] became interested, though he would not engage in conversations during the strike.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderNov2023Castings&quot; /&gt; In August, [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] was offered the role of the Thing,&lt;ref name=&quot;BachrachFeb2024&quot; /&gt; after playing [[Microchip (comics)|Micro]] in the [[The Punisher season 1|first season]] of the Marvel Television series ''[[The Punisher (TV series)|The Punisher]]'' (2017–2019).&lt;ref name=&quot;Moss-BachrachPunisher&quot; /&gt; Mob Productions was committed to casting a Jewish actor as the Thing, who is depicted as Jewish in the comics but was not portrayed by Jewish actors in the previous ''Fantastic Four'' films;&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderReleaseDoubt&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;FirstJewishActorThing&quot; /&gt; Moss-Bachrach is Jewish.&lt;ref name=&quot;FirstJewishActorThing&quot; /&gt; [[David Krumholtz]] met with Shakman about the role after campaigning for it online, but was unsuccessful.

Johnson]] on the cover and used a new logo style with &quot;a certain throwback tone and sense of aesthetics&quot;, indicating that the film is set during the 1960s (around the time the Fantastic Four debuted in Marvel Comics).&lt;ref name=&quot;1963Image&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;/Film1960sSetting&quot; /&gt; Adding to this speculation, Pascal shared the promotional art on his social media and included references to 1960s songs from [[the Beatles]].&lt;ref name=&quot;/Film1960sSetting&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;PascalConfirm1960sSongs&quot; /&gt; The art also included the comic book character [[H.E.R.B.I.E.]], a robot companion to the Fantastic Four.&lt;ref name=&quot;HERBIE&quot; /&gt; Feige confirmed that the film would be a 1960s [[period piece]], but indicated that it would be set in an alternate universe within the [[Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|multiverse]].&lt;ref name=&quot;FeigePeriodPiece&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Sneider reported that Bardem was Mob Productions' top choice for Galactus, that the studio had begun meeting with actors for Silver Surfer, and that Doctor Doom would be cast during filming. He added that the release date could be delayed again to the November 2025 date reserved for the MCU film ''[[Blade (2025 film)|Blade]]'', with that film potentially moving to 2026, to avoid competition with [[DC Studios]]' ''[[Superman (2025 film)|Superman]]'' and an [[Untitled Jurassic World film|untitled ''Jurassic World'' film]] that were also scheduled for July 2025. He felt Disney was unlikely to release four MCU films in 2025 while the company was prioritizing quality over quantity for the MCU, and ''The Fantastic Four'' was further along in production than ''Blade''.&lt;ref name=&quot;SneiderReleaseDoubt&quot; /&gt; Shortly after, [[Eric Pearson]] was revealed to have been &quot;quietly hired&quot; to polish the script. He previously worked on Mob Productions' ''[[Thor: Ragnarok]]'' (2017) and ''[[Black Widow (2021 film)|Black Widow]]'' (2021), and had a reputation for &quot;taking projects over the finish line&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;Pearson&quot; /&gt; [[Julia Garner]] was cast as [[Shalla-Bal|Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer]] in April 2024.

He was initially reluctant to join because of the poor reception to previous Fantastic Four films, but was won over by the script and the film's other cast and crew.&lt;ref name=&quot;HausersReservations&quot; /&gt; Sneider reported that Mole Man would appear at the beginning of the film and he believed Hauser was cast in that role.&lt;ref name=&quot;MoleMan&quot; /&gt; ''WandaVision'' writer Peter Cameron had contributed to the script by then,&lt;ref name=&quot;Hauser&quot; /&gt; and filming was reported to begin at the end of July.&lt;ref name=&quot;JulyFilming&quot; /&gt; In late June, Feige said filming would begin on July 29.&lt;ref name=&quot;FeigeJulyFilming&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] began on August 6, 2023,&lt;ref name=&quot;FeigeJulyFilming&quot; /&gt; at [[Pinewood Studios]] in London,&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanColliderOct2023&quot; /&gt; under the [[working title]] ''Blue Moon'',&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionWeeklyOct2023&quot; /&gt; with [[Jess Hall]] serving as cinematographer, after working with Shakman on ''WandaVision''.&lt;ref name=&quot;Hall&quot; /&gt; It concluded on March 8, 2024.<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> On April 4, 2024 (&quot;4–4 Day&quot;), Mob Productions released a teaser poster for the film of the Human Torch creating the Fantastic Four symbol. A link was also included with the post that led to a [[HTTP 404|404 error page]] featuring H.E.R.B.I.E., who had an embedded QR code leading to a [[Future Foundation]]-themed page with a list of ''Fantastic Four'' comics available to read on [[Marvel Unlimited]] in preparation for the film;&lt;ref name=&quot;4-4DayPoster&quot; /&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;4-4DayComics&quot; /&gt; the comics were ''[[Fantastic Four (comic book)|Fantastic Four]]'' #1 (1961), the team's first appearance; ''Fantastic Four'' #48–50, which features the first appearances of Galactus and Silver Surfer; and ''[[Fantastic Four: Life Story]]'' #1 (2021), which is set in the 1960s.&lt;ref name=&quot;4-4DayComics&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> <br /> === Theatrical ===<br /> ''The Fantastic Four'' had its European premiere on July 22, 2024, at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City. The film was released in the United States on July 28, in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, ScreenX, and 4DX. It is the second film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] of the MCU.<br /> <br /> === Home media ===<br /> The film was released on Disney+ on September 21, 2024, and was available to purchase on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 24. The home media releases include deleted scenes, a gag reel, director's commentary, and featurettes.<br /> <br /> == Reception ==<br /> <br /> === Box office ===<br /> As of August 10, 2024, ''The Fantastic Four'' has grossed $384.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $508.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $892.67 million. The film was considered a strong commercial success for Phase One of the universe, especially given its $120 million production budget. Deadline reported that the film comfortably cleared its break-even point, and Disney executives cited it as a sign of regained audience confidence following several underperforming entries in previous years.<br /> <br /> Leading up to its release in July 2024, ''The Fantastic Four'' was projected to open with $85–100 million domestically, with internal targets set at $95 million. Industry tracking estimated global opening weekend earnings to land between $170–190 million. The film earned $37.4 million on its opening day, including $12.3 million from Thursday night previews. It went on to earn $96.8 million in its opening weekend domestically, alongside $102.6 million internationally, bringing its global debut to $199.4 million—making it the highest-opening film in the franchise’s history. IMAX screenings contributed $22 million worldwide.<br /> <br /> In its second weekend, ''The Fantastic Four'' dropped 51%, earning $47.4 million and retaining the top spot at the box office. Analysts noted the hold as a healthy sign, comparing it favorably to steeper second-week drops seen in other recent superhero films. The film earned $22.7 million in its third weekend, a drop of 52%, finishing second behind the horror release ''The Haunting of Briar Hollow''. Strong international legs, especially in South Korea, the UK, and Brazil, helped the film remain a consistent performer well into its fourth week.1<br /> <br /> === Critical response ===<br /> On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 88% of 351 critics gave ''The Fantastic Four'' a positive review. The site’s critics consensus reads, “Blending sleek retro aesthetics with grounded character work, ''The Fantastic Four'' reinvents Marvel’s First Family for a new era—anchored by a commanding performance from Pedro Pascal and a tone that balances cosmic wonder with human emotion.” On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 72 out of 100, based on 58 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews.” Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of “A–” on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported an average score of 4.3 out of 5 stars, with 78% of viewers saying they would definitely recommend the film.<br /> <br /> Owen Gleiberman of ''Variety'' praised the film as “a smart, confident reboot that finally gets the tone right,” highlighting its 1960s setting and noting that “Ebon Moss-Bachrach steals nearly every scene as a grounded, emotionally complex Ben Grimm.” Clarisse Loughrey of ''The Independent'' gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “a vibrant homage to pulp science fiction, elevated by Julia Garner’s haunting turn as Silver Surfer and the film’s bold use of practical effects.” Richard Lawson of ''Vanity Fair'' described it as “a return to form for Marvel’s ensemble storytelling,” though he noted that some of the cosmic elements “veer into exposition-heavy territory.”<br /> <br /> Less enthusiastic was ''The Hollywood Reporter''’s Frank Scheck, who gave the film a mixed review, saying, “While the cast shines and the script avoids the typical origin slog, the final act teeters under the weight of franchise setup.” Peter Bradshaw of ''The Guardian'' gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, writing, “The 1960s setting is clever, but the charm wears thin once the visual effects take center stage over character.”<br /> <br /> Despite some reservations about pacing and worldbuilding, ''The Fantastic Four'' was widely considered a creative and tonal step forward for the franchise, with critics praising its ensemble cast, stylized production design, and commitment to a fresh narrative identity.<br /> <br /> == ''Doctor Doom'' prequel film ==<br /> {{Main|Doctor Doom (2025 film)}}<br /> ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'' was released worldwide on January 3, 2025. The film was met with positive reviews from critics.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist|refs=<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- CAST --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;QuinnApr2024&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Mike |date=April 17, 2024 |title=Joseph Quinn says he has 'big boots' to fill as the Human Torch after Chris Evans' ''Fantastic Four'' |url=https://ew.com/joseph-quinn-fantastic-four-human-torch-chris-evans-big-boots-to-fill-8634607 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240417195855/https://ew.com/joseph-quinn-fantastic-four-human-torch-chris-evans-big-boots-to-fill-8634607 |archive-date=April 17, 2024 |access-date=April 17, 2024 |website=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- BACKGROUND --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;HawleyDoom&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |last1=Couch |first1=Aaron |last2=Wigler |first2=Josh |last3=Kit |first3=Borys |date=July 20, 2017 |title=Noah Hawley Developing Movie About 'Fantastic Four' Villain Doctor Doom for Fox |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/doctor-doom-movie-announced-at-comic-con-by-noah-hawley-1023182 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170721021055/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/doctor-doom-movie-announced-at-comic-con-by-noah-hawley-1023182 |archive-date=July 21, 2017 |access-date=September 3, 2017 |website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;Grahame-Smith&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |last=Johnston |first=Rich |author-link=Rich Johnston |date=June 20, 2017 |title=Rumours of a New Fantastic Four Movie From Fox.

Produced by [[Mob Productions]] and [[AGBO]], and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is intended to be the sequel to ''[[The Fantastic Four (2024 film)|The Fantastic Four]]'' (2024) and ''[[Avengers: Incursion]]'' (2028), the thirteenth film in the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU), and the eighth and final film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]]. The film is directed by [[Matt Shakman]] from a screenplay by [[Josh Friedman]], [[Eric Pearson]], and [[Stephen McFeely]]. It features an [[ensemble cast]] including [[Pedro Pascal]], [[Vanessa Kirby]], [[Joseph Quinn]], [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]], [[Mads Mikkelsen]], [[Anthony Mackie]], [[Letitia Wright]], [[David Corenswet]], [[Tom Holland]], [[Aryan Simhadri]], [[Benedict Cumberbatch]], [[Ryan Reynolds]], and [[Hugh Jackman]].<br /> <br /> The film is set immediately after the events of ''Avengers: Incursion'', in which [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom]] combines fragments of several collapsing realities into a single world under his control. The Fantastic Four lead a resistance against Doom while [[Reed Richards (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Reed Richards]] searches for a method of restoring the destroyed universes without erasing the inhabitants of Doomworld. The film concludes the incursion storyline developed throughout Phase Two and centers on the ideological conflict between Richards and Doom.<br /> <br /> Development began in early 2025 as a direct sequel to ''The Fantastic Four'', before the project was reworked into the concluding film of Phase Two. Shakman joined as director, while Friedman and Pearson began developing the screenplay. McFeely later joined to coordinate the film's story with ''Avengers: Incursion'', which is directed by [[Anthony and Joe Russo]]. The title was revealed by Mob Productions in June 2025, and the film was formally announced as the phase finale in December. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in late 2027 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England, with some material expected to be filmed during the production of ''Avengers: Incursion''. Additional filming is planned in Iceland and Australia.<br /> <br /> ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 23, 2028, approximately three and a half months after ''Avengers: Incursion''.<br /> <br /> == Premise ==<br /> Following the activation of Victor von Doom's reality-altering machine, fragments of several destroyed universes are combined into a single unstable planet known as Doomworld. Its inhabitants retain incomplete and contradictory memories of their former realities, while Doom rules as the only person capable of controlling the physical laws holding the world together.<br /> <br /> The Fantastic Four awaken in separate regions of Doomworld and gradually reunite. Reed Richards attempts to reconstruct the events that led to the world's creation, while Sue Storm organizes a resistance composed of surviving heroes and civilians. Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm investigate the boundaries between the merged regions and discover that the world is continuing to deteriorate.<br /> <br /> Doom claims that restoring the multiverse would destroy everyone born or altered after Doomworld's creation. Reed must therefore determine whether the original realities can be restored without sacrificing the inhabitants of the new world.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> * [[Pedro Pascal]] as [[Reed Richards (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic]]: A highly intelligent scientist, the leader of the Fantastic Four, and Sue's husband. Richards searches for a way to restore the multiverse while refusing to accept Doom's claim that the destruction of inhabited realities was necessary.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Vanessa Kirby]] as [[Susan Storm (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Susan Storm / Invisible Woman]]: A member of the Fantastic Four who can become invisible and generate force fields. Sue leads the resistance against Doom and serves as the principal organizer of the heroes scattered across Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Joseph Quinn]] as [[Johnny Storm (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Johnny Storm / Human Torch]]: Sue's younger brother and a member of the Fantastic Four who can manipulate fire, engulf himself in flames, and fly. Johnny investigates the unstable boundaries between Doomworld's different regions.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] as [[Ben Grimm (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Ben Grimm / the Thing]]: Richards's best friend and a member of the Fantastic Four whose body was transformed into an orange rock-like form, granting him superhuman strength and durability.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Mads Mikkelsen]] as [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom]]: The ruler of Latveria and creator of Doomworld. Doom combines advanced technology, magic, vibranium, Kryptonian knowledge, temporal energy, and power taken from the Nightmare Realm to preserve fragments of several realities under his control.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Anthony Mackie]] as [[Sam Wilson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sam Wilson / Captain America]]: The leader of the Avengers and a former pararescueman who organizes the surviving heroes after Doom's victory.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Letitia Wright]] as [[Shuri (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Shuri / Black Panther]]: The protector of Wakanda and a scientist whose knowledge of vibranium helps Reed study the structure of Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[David Corenswet]] as [[Clark Kent (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Clark Kent / Superman]]: A Kryptonian survivor whose powers are affected by Doomworld's changing physical laws. Superman becomes one of the resistance's most powerful members.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Tom Holland]] as [[Peter Parker (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Peter Parker / Spider-Man]]: A young hero whose connection to the Web of Life and Destiny allows him to sense memories and locations belonging to the destroyed realities.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Aryan Simhadri]] as [[Alex Singh (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Alex Singh / School Warrior]]: A teenage vigilante whose Chronal Core contains information recorded before Doomworld's creation.&lt;ref name=&quot;Simhadri&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Benedict Cumberbatch]] as [[Stephen Strange (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Dr. Stephen Strange]]: A practitioner of the mystic arts who attempts to separate Doom from the magical energy maintaining Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Ryan Reynolds]] as [[Wade Wilson (film character)|Wade Wilson / Deadpool]]: A mercenary from Earth-10005 with accelerated healing and an awareness of the wider multiverse. Wade retains partial memories of the realities that existed before Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;Reynolds&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Hugh Jackman]] as [[Logan (film character)|Logan / Wolverine]]: A mutant with regenerative abilities, retractable claws, and an adamantium skeleton. Logan's status as the anchor being of Earth-10005 gives him a unique connection to one of Doomworld's largest regions.&lt;ref name=&quot;Jackman&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional performers from ''Avengers: Incursion'' and earlier MCU films are expected to appear. Mob Productions has not announced the complete cast, with [[Freddie Goodwin]] stating that several characters' involvement would reveal events from the ending of ''Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Development of a sequel to ''[[The Fantastic Four (2024 film)|The Fantastic Four]]'' began shortly after principal photography on that film was completed in 2023. Mob Productions initially intended the sequel to focus on the Fantastic Four's growing conflict with Victor von Doom following the events of ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'' (2025).&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDevelopment&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Early versions of the project were smaller in scale and primarily set in Latveria. The story followed Doom's attempt to use technology recovered from Galactus and the Silver Surfer to create a protected nation outside conventional space.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyStory&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> As Mob Productions developed [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]], the sequel became connected to a wider storyline involving incursions between multiple realities. Goodwin said the studio realized that Doom's plan should be the culmination of the phase rather than an isolated conflict involving only the Fantastic Four.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoExpansion&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The project was publicly revealed on June 13, 2025, when Goodwin presented its logo during the Mob Productions Showcase. The title '''''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld''''' referred to the combined reality created by Doom during the planned conclusion of the phase.&lt;ref name=&quot;LogoReveal&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> At the time of the announcement, [[Lyra Stormwind]] was reportedly attached to direct. Stormwind later left the project when its scope expanded and its production schedule became connected to ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;StormwindExit&quot; /&gt; Mob Productions subsequently approached [[Matt Shakman]], who had experience directing ensemble and effects-heavy productions.<br /> <br /> Shakman entered negotiations in September 2025 and was hired the following month.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanHired&quot; /&gt; Goodwin said Shakman was chosen because the film needed to function both as a Fantastic Four sequel and as the culmination of the wider Phase Two storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanApproach&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Josh Friedman]] and [[Eric Pearson]] began writing the screenplay during the project's earlier development. [[Stephen McFeely]] joined after Shakman's hiring to coordinate the screenplay with ''Avengers: Incursion'', which he was writing with [[Christopher Markus]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Writers&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> At the Mob Productions Showcase in December 2025, Goodwin formally announced ''Doomworld'' as the final film of Phase Two. The studio also announced that ''Avengers: Incursion'' would be released first and end with the creation of Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin described the two films as a connected finale rather than a single story divided without separate conclusions. ''Incursion'' depicts the collapse of the multiverse and Doom's victory, while ''Doomworld'' explores the reality created from its remains.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoFilmFinale&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Russo brothers joined as producers through [[AGBO]] because of their work on ''Avengers: Incursion'' and the narrative continuity between the two productions.&lt;ref name=&quot;AGBO&quot; /&gt; Shakman retained primary creative responsibility for ''Doomworld'' and said the film would be told principally from the Fantastic Four's perspective.&lt;ref name=&quot;ShakmanPerspective&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> Early drafts were written as a conventional sequel to ''The Fantastic Four'' and were set mainly in Latveria. The story would have followed Reed and Doom competing to create a protected environment capable of surviving the incursions.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyStory&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> After ''Doomworld'' became the conclusion of Phase Two, Friedman and Pearson expanded the screenplay to include heroes and locations introduced throughout the franchise. McFeely joined to ensure that the opening of the film directly continued the ending of ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;Writers&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The filmmakers drew inspiration from the 1984–1985 ''[[Secret Wars]]'' comic-book storyline and the 2015 ''[[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)|Secret Wars]]'' event written by [[Jonathan Hickman]], both of which involve characters living on a patchwork planet created from fragments of different realities.&lt;ref name=&quot;ComicInfluence&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said the film would not directly adapt either comic storyline. The name Doomworld was selected instead of Battleworld to emphasize that the setting was specifically created according to Doom's worldview and personal history.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldName&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film begins immediately after ''Avengers: Incursion'', although its characters do not initially remember the multiverse's destruction. Doom has altered memories throughout the new reality so that many inhabitants believe Doomworld has always existed.&lt;ref name=&quot;MemoryPremise&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben begin the story in different regions. Reed is held within Doom's central city, Sue leads a hidden resistance, Johnny protects civilians in a region formed from Metropolis and New York, and Ben serves as the guardian of an isolated territory without remembering the Fantastic Four.&lt;ref name=&quot;FourStructure&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Shakman said the separation allows each member of the team to be reintroduced through their individual qualities before they reunite. Their reunion forms the film's central emotional storyline rather than occurring during its opening act.&lt;ref name=&quot;FourStructure&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Reed and Doom's conflict is based on their opposing responses to the incursions. Doom believes he saved the only lives that could be preserved, while Reed argues that Doom deliberately refused solutions that would not place him in control.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReedDoomConflict&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom is not portrayed as believing Doomworld is ideal. He is aware that it is unstable and uses energy collected throughout Phase Two to continually reconstruct damaged regions.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomMotivation&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The screenplay also explores the status of people who did not exist before Doomworld. Reed discovers that restoring the original universes could erase individuals created when the realities merged, complicating the resistance's plan to reverse Doom's actions.&lt;ref name=&quot;NewLives&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Sue was written as the principal leader of the resistance. Shakman described her as the character most capable of uniting heroes who possess conflicting memories and allegiances.&lt;ref name=&quot;SueLead&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Sam Wilson leads the surviving Avengers but initially opposes Reed's plan because of the risk to Doomworld's population. The disagreement creates tension between the Avengers and Fantastic Four before they identify a method of separating the realities without completely erasing the combined world.&lt;ref name=&quot;SamReed&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Deadpool retains fragmented memories of the former universes because of his previous exposure to temporal energy. Reynolds contributed to the character's dialogue and story, but did not receive a screenplay credit.&lt;ref name=&quot;DeadpoolMemory&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> School Warrior's Chronal Core contains a record of the multiverse before its destruction. The device becomes important to determining which people and locations originated from each universe.&lt;ref name=&quot;SchoolWarriorRole&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film is intended to conclude Doom's story across the first two phases while establishing a changed shared reality for [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Three|Phase Three]]. Goodwin said the ending would not fully restore the MCU to its previous state.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ending&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Pedro Pascal]], [[Vanessa Kirby]], [[Joseph Quinn]], and [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] were expected to return when development of a sequel to ''The Fantastic Four'' began.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In December 2025, Mob Productions formally confirmed the four actors and [[Mads Mikkelsen]] as the film's principal cast. Mikkelsen had portrayed Doom in ''Doctor Doom'' and was contracted to appear throughout the incursion storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Anthony Mackie]], [[Letitia Wright]], [[David Corenswet]], [[Tom Holland]], [[Aryan Simhadri]], [[Benedict Cumberbatch]], [[Ryan Reynolds]], and [[Hugh Jackman]] were confirmed during a Phase Two presentation in April 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReturningCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Shakman said the film would feature a large ensemble but that the Fantastic Four and Doom remained its central characters. The other heroes were divided into groups operating across different regions of Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;EnsembleFocus&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Reynolds and Jackman were expected to film their roles after completing ''Avengers: Incursion''. Reynolds also contributed to Deadpool's dialogue but was not credited as a writer.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReynoldsJackman&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Simhadri's involvement continued School Warrior's storyline from ''[[School Warrior: Shadow Protocol]]'' (2027). Goodwin described Alex Singh as one of the few characters whose memories Doom could not completely alter because of the Chronal Core.&lt;ref name=&quot;Simhadri&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions withheld several cast members whose presence was considered a spoiler for ''Avengers: Incursion''. Goodwin said the complete cast would not be revealed until after that film's marketing campaign had begun.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Pre-production ===<br /> Pre-production began at [[Pinewood Studios]] in early 2026, with departments coordinating their work with the production team of ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;PreProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The production required the creation of Doomworld as a patchwork planet containing environments from several realities. Early concept art combined sections of Latveria, Wakanda, Metropolis, New York City, Vesper, the Void, and locations introduced in the Fantastic Four films.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Production designer [[Helena Ward]] was hired to oversee the film's environments. Ward divided Doomworld into territories with separate architectural and physical rules while maintaining visual elements associated with Doom throughout each region.&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionDesigner&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The central city was designed as a combination of Latverian architecture and technology collected from the destroyed universes. Doom's palace incorporates the remains of the Baxter Building and several structures taken from other realities.&lt;ref name=&quot;CentralCity&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Large physical sets were planned for Doom's palace, the resistance headquarters, the merged New York and Metropolis district, and a region formed from fragments of Wakanda and Latveria. Digital extensions would connect the sets and alter their gravity, scale, and geography.&lt;ref name=&quot;Sets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Fantastic Four receive redesigned costumes constructed from materials found across Doomworld. Their original blue uniforms are initially absent, with the team gradually recreating their identities as their memories return.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom's armor is updated to incorporate the vibranium core, Kryptonian technology, Nightmare Realm energy, and temporal machinery acquired during Phase Two. The armor also functions as a mobile system for maintaining Doomworld's stability.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomArmor&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was expected to share sets, visual-effects assets, and crew members with ''Avengers: Incursion''. Goodwin said this would reduce costs while allowing the two films to maintain visual continuity.&lt;ref name=&quot;SharedProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions has not disclosed the budget. Industry reports suggested that it could become the studio's most expensive standalone production, excluding the combined expenditure of the two-film finale.&lt;ref name=&quot;Budget&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] is scheduled to begin in late 2027 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England under the working title ''World Without Tomorrow''.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingStart&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Some material is expected to be filmed during principal photography on ''Avengers: Incursion'' when required by cast schedules, shared locations, or continuity between the films. The productions are not expected to be filmed entirely [[Back-to-back film production|back-to-back]].&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionOverlap&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The main ''Doomworld'' shoot is expected to continue into 2028. Production will primarily take place on soundstages at Pinewood, where the central city, Doom's palace, resistance headquarters, and merged urban districts will be constructed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Pinewood&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional filming is planned in Iceland and Australia. Icelandic landscapes will represent remote regions assembled from destroyed worlds, while Australian locations will be used for settlements existing beyond Doom's central territory.&lt;ref name=&quot;Locations&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Shakman is expected to direct the Fantastic Four and principal dramatic material, while several second-unit directors will oversee large battle sequences and environments involving the wider ensemble.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingUnits&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The opening is expected to reuse and expand material from the conclusion of ''Avengers: Incursion''. Shakman and the Russo brothers planned the transition together so that the films would depict Doomworld's creation from different perspectives.&lt;ref name=&quot;OpeningTransition&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional photography is expected to take place in mid-2028 after an initial cut has been assembled. The film's November release gives the production a shorter post-production schedule than ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;AdditionalPhotography&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Post-production ===<br /> Post-production is expected to begin while principal photography remains underway. Visual-effects companies will begin work on completed sequences before filming concludes because of the film's large number of fully or partially digital environments.&lt;ref name=&quot;PostProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The effects include the construction and deterioration of Doomworld, changes between different physical laws, characters moving across regions with incompatible gravity, and the reconstruction of damaged environments by Doom.&lt;ref name=&quot;VisualEffects&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions plans to reuse certain environmental assets from earlier Phase Two films to show recognizable locations incorporated into Doomworld. The assets will be modified to reflect Doom's control and the effects of the reality merger.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReusedAssets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film's final battle is expected to involve characters operating across several regions simultaneously while Reed attempts to separate the merged realities. Shakman said the climax would focus on the Fantastic Four's attempt to function as a family despite being physically divided.&lt;ref name=&quot;Climax&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Editors from ''Avengers: Incursion'' are expected to assist with the opening of ''Doomworld'' to maintain continuity between the films. A principal editor has not yet been announced.&lt;ref name=&quot;Editing&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> Mob Productions had not officially announced a composer by July 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;Composer&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The same composer is expected to work on ''Avengers: Incursion'' and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' to provide continuity between the two films.&lt;ref name=&quot;SharedComposer&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said the score would combine established themes for the Fantastic Four, Doom, the Avengers, Superman, Deadpool, Wolverine, and other returning characters while introducing a central theme for Doomworld.&lt;ref name=&quot;MusicApproach&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Marketing ==<br /> On June 13, 2025, Goodwin revealed the film's official title and logo during the Mob Productions Showcase.&lt;ref name=&quot;LogoReveal&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The logo uses the Fantastic Four's stylized number-four emblem behind the word &quot;Doomworld&quot;. The design incorporates metallic green elements associated with Doom and visible fractures representing the merged realities.&lt;ref name=&quot;LogoDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The announcement did not include footage or concept art. At the time, Mob Productions had not revealed that the project would directly follow an Avengers film.&lt;ref name=&quot;LogoReveal&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was formally presented as the conclusion of Phase Two in December 2025 alongside the announcement of ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said the principal marketing campaign would not begin until after substantial promotion for ''Avengers: Incursion'', because most footage and plot details from ''Doomworld'' would reveal that film's ending.&lt;ref name=&quot;MarketingPlan&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A short title animation is expected to accompany the first trailer for ''Avengers: Incursion'', but Mob Productions has not confirmed when standalone footage from ''Doomworld'' will be released.&lt;ref name=&quot;MarketingPlan&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 23, 2028.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was initially scheduled for November 26, 2026, when it was being developed as an earlier Fantastic Four sequel.&lt;ref name=&quot;OriginalDate&quot; /&gt; Production was postponed after Mob Productions expanded the project into the conclusion of Phase Two and connected it directly to ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;Delay&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> It was subsequently assigned the November 23, 2028, date, approximately three and a half months after the August 3 release of ''Avengers: Incursion''.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film is expected to be released in [[IMAX]], Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX, and standard formats.&lt;ref name=&quot;PremiumFormats&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> It will be the eighth and final film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]] and is intended to establish the status of the shared universe for Phase Three.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseFinale&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Future ==<br /> Goodwin said ''Doomworld'' would conclude the incursion storyline and the principal conflict between Reed Richards and Victor von Doom.&lt;ref name=&quot;Ending&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film is also expected to alter the structure of the MCU by combining selected characters and locations from previously separate realities into a new shared continuity.&lt;ref name=&quot;NewContinuity&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions has not announced a direct sequel or a third Fantastic Four film. Goodwin said the team would continue to be important following Phase Two but declined to identify their next appearance.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourFuture&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The studio has also not announced whether every principal character appearing in ''Doomworld'' will continue into Phase Three.&lt;ref name=&quot;NewContinuity&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br />

Mob Productions has not announced the complete ensemble, and Goodwin said that several returning characters would be withheld until closer to filming.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Mob Productions began planning a large-scale Avengers crossover while developing the second phase of the MCU. In June 2019, studio president [[Freddie Goodwin]] said that the company had outlined stories for several future phases and was developing a long-term narrative involving characters from different comic-book publishers.&lt;ref name=&quot;LongTermPlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> During the development of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]], Goodwin considered using the Avengers name for the planned team-up film that eventually became ''[[Ascendants (2026 film)|Ascendants]]'' (2026). The studio instead decided to reserve the Avengers for a later crossover after more established characters had been introduced.&lt;ref name=&quot;AvengersName&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first significant plans for ''Avengers: Incursion'' were developed in early 2025 following completion of ''Ascendants''. Goodwin wanted the next crossover to unite characters from Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Mob Comics rather than focus on one existing team.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDevelopment&quot; /&gt; The project was initially known internally as ''Avengers 1'' and ''Collision Point''.&lt;ref name=&quot;WorkingTitle&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film's storyline was influenced by the Marvel Comics concept of incursions, in which two universes collide and are destroyed unless one is eliminated. Goodwin said this allowed the film to present a conflict without a simple solution, because saving one universe could require the destruction of another.&lt;ref name=&quot;IncursionConcept&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions also drew inspiration from the 2012–2015 ''Avengers'' and ''New Avengers'' comic-book runs written by [[Jonathan Hickman]], particularly the &quot;[[Time Runs Out]]&quot; storyline. The studio did not intend to directly adapt those comics but used their treatment of moral compromise and collapsing universes as a basis for the film.&lt;ref name=&quot;ComicsInfluence&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> By July 2025, Goodwin confirmed that the studio was planning an Avengers film as part of Phase Two but did not reveal its title or release date. He described the project as the beginning of a two-film conclusion to the phase.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Anthony and Joe Russo]], who had previously directed several large ensemble superhero films, entered negotiations to direct in October 2025. Mob Productions wanted filmmakers with experience coordinating multiple character storylines and extensive visual effects.&lt;ref name=&quot;RussosTalks&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely]] entered discussions to write the film shortly afterwards. They began developing the story with Goodwin and the Russo brothers while the scripts for other Phase Two films were still being completed.&lt;ref name=&quot;WritersHired&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> At the Mob Productions Showcase in December 2025, Goodwin officially announced the film as '''''Avengers: Incursion'''''. The studio confirmed the Russo brothers as directors, Markus and McFeely as writers, and August 3, 2028, as its United States release date.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was announced alongside ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'', which was described as a direct continuation and the concluding film of Phase Two. Goodwin said that ''Incursion'' would have its own story and climax despite leading immediately into ''Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoPartFinale&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Russo brothers are producing the film through their company [[AGBO]] alongside Goodwin. Anthony Russo said the film would be larger than any previous Mob Productions project but that its principal storyline would remain focused on Sam Wilson's attempt to hold the heroes together.&lt;ref name=&quot;AGBO&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> Markus and McFeely began writing the screenplay in late 2025. Their initial treatment incorporated story information from each Phase Two film, with individual filmmakers providing details concerning their characters and unresolved storylines.&lt;ref name=&quot;WritingBegins&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film follows the consequences of the Time Ripper's destruction in ''Deadpool 2'', which weakens the barriers separating several realities. The temporal damage worsens in ''Superman: Worlds Apart'' and ''Spider-Man: Web of Worlds'', while ''[[Doctor Strange: Nightmare Realm]]'' (2028) establishes that supernatural dimensions have also been affected.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoConnections&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Markus said the writers wanted each preceding film to contribute something important without making audiences feel required to remember every detail. The screenplay explains the incursions through the perspectives of Sam Wilson, Superman, and Reed Richards, who have different levels of knowledge about the multiverse.&lt;ref name=&quot;MarkusInterview&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Wilson was selected as the film's primary protagonist because he lacks the superhuman abilities and cosmic knowledge possessed by many of the other characters. McFeely said Wilson's role is not to solve the scientific problem but to decide what principles the team follows when no solution can save everyone.&lt;ref name=&quot;WilsonLead&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The writers structured the heroes into several groups. Wilson leads the Earth-616 response, while Richards, Strange, and Shuri investigate Doom's machine. Superman, Spider-Man, School Warrior, Deadpool, and Wolverine become involved in separate incursion zones before the characters unite.&lt;ref name=&quot;TeamStructure&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Reynolds contributed to Deadpool's dialogue but did not receive a screenplay credit. The Russo brothers said the character would provide humor without undermining the destruction depicted in the film. Wade's awareness of cinematic conventions is also used to question whether the heroes are being forced into a predetermined crossover.&lt;ref name=&quot;DeadpoolWriting&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom was written as an antagonist who accurately identifies the multiverse's impending destruction but chooses an authoritarian solution. Goodwin said the film would not depict Doom as attempting to destroy existence for personal amusement; he genuinely believes that only a world under his control can survive.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomMotivation&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Fantastic Four serve as the characters most directly connected to Doom. Richards believes the multiverse can be preserved without sacrificing populated realities, while Doom considers Richards's search for a perfect solution irresponsible.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReedDoom&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film ends with Doom successfully activating his machine and combining parts of several universes into a single unstable reality. The surviving heroes are separated throughout the resulting world, establishing the events of ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;EndingSetup&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin described ''Incursion'' as a disaster film concerning the end of multiple worlds, while ''Doomworld'' would examine the civilization created from their remains.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoFilmsTone&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Anthony Mackie]] was the first actor confirmed for the film. Goodwin announced in December 2025 that Mackie's Sam Wilson would lead the Avengers assembled during the incursion crisis.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mackie&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Mads Mikkelsen]] was confirmed at the same presentation to reprise his role as Victor von Doom. Mikkelsen had signed a multi-film agreement when he joined ''Doctor Doom'', allowing the character to appear throughout Phase Two.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In January 2026, [[Pedro Pascal]], [[Vanessa Kirby]], [[Joseph Quinn]], and [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] were confirmed to reprise their roles as the Fantastic Four. They are expected to film material for ''Incursion'' and ''Doomworld'' during overlapping production schedules.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Ryan Reynolds]] and [[Hugh Jackman]] were confirmed in February following the completion of promotional work for ''Deadpool 2''. Reynolds also joined as an executive producer but was not credited as one of the film's principal producers.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReynoldsJackman&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Letitia Wright]], [[David Corenswet]], [[Tom Holland]], [[Aryan Simhadri]], and [[Benedict Cumberbatch]] were announced during Mob Productions' Phase Two presentation in April 2026. Each actor reprises a character featured in an earlier film in the phase.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said that negotiations were continuing with several performers from Phase One and the ''Ascendants'' ensemble. He declined to state whether every character announced for the film would survive its events or appear in ''Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Pre-production ===<br /> Pre-production began at [[Pinewood Studios]] in May 2026, more than a year before the planned start of principal photography. The long preparation period was intended to coordinate actor schedules, construct sets shared with ''Doomworld'', and complete extensive [[previsualization]] for the incursion sequences.&lt;ref name=&quot;PreProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The production design team began constructing a central Avengers facility combining Wakandan technology, Fantastic Four equipment, and resources provided by the TVA. Additional sets represent damaged sections of New York City, Metropolis, Wakanda, Latveria, the Baxter Building, and several merged environments.&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The incursions are designed to appear as physical collisions between locations rather than portals. Buildings, landscapes, weather systems, and gravity from separate realities occupy the same space, causing objects and people to shift between different physical rules.&lt;ref name=&quot;IncursionDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The filmmakers planned to build large sections of the overlapping environments practically before combining them through digital extensions. Joe Russo said the characters needed physical structures to interact with so that the destruction would not resemble actors performing entirely against digital backgrounds.&lt;ref name=&quot;PracticalSets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Costume development began in early 2026. Mackie retains the Captain America suit and shield introduced earlier in the franchise, with additional protection designed for unstable environments. Corenswet's Superman costume receives visible damage throughout the film, while Jackman's Wolverine wears a variation of his brown-and-tan comic-book suit.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Fantastic Four receive updated suits designed to interact with the conditions on Doomworld. Doom's armor combines the design introduced in his solo film with technology and magical symbols collected throughout Phase Two.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was expected to have the largest production budget of any Mob Productions film made up to that point. Goodwin declined to disclose a figure but said that ''Incursion'' and ''Doomworld'' were being budgeted as separate films rather than one production divided into two releases.&lt;ref name=&quot;Budget&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] is scheduled to begin in June 2027 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England under the working title ''Collision''.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingStart&quot; /&gt; Production is expected to continue for approximately six months and conclude in December 2027.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingLength&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The main production will be based at Pinewood, where sets for the Avengers facility, Baxter Building, Latverian throne room, and several incursion zones will be constructed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Pinewood&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Location filming is planned in London, Atlanta, Vancouver, Iceland, and Australia. Iceland will be used for landscapes belonging to collapsing realities, while Australian locations will represent sections of Doom's combined world.&lt;ref name=&quot;Locations&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The production is not expected to film entirely back-to-back with ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'', although some sets, crew members, and actor schedules will overlap. Several sequences for ''Doomworld'' may be filmed during principal photography on ''Incursion'' when required by location or cast availability.&lt;ref name=&quot;Overlap&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Russo brothers plan to use multiple shooting units because of the size of the ensemble. Anthony Russo will primarily oversee scenes involving Wilson and the Avengers, while Joe Russo will concentrate on Doom, the Fantastic Four, and the large-scale incursion material. Both directors will jointly direct the film's principal ensemble sequences.&lt;ref name=&quot;Units&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional photography is expected to occur in early 2028 after an initial edit has been assembled. Goodwin said the additional photography was built into the schedule because several character appearances and transitions into ''Doomworld'' could require adjustment.&lt;ref name=&quot;AdditionalPhotography&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Post-production ===<br /> Post-production is expected to begin while principal photography remains underway. Mob Productions plans to complete sequences for visual-effects vendors as filming progresses because the film has less than eight months between its planned production wrap and release.&lt;ref name=&quot;PostProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The visual effects will include the collision and destruction of multiple realities, transformations between environments, alternate gravity, and the creation of the world formed during the climax.&lt;ref name=&quot;VisualEffects&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The filmmakers intend to distinguish the incursions from the temporal overlaps in ''Deadpool 2''. In that film, separate timelines temporarily occupied the same location, while ''Incursion'' depicts entire universes physically destroying one another.&lt;ref name=&quot;EffectsDifference&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Editors and visual-effects supervisors are also expected to coordinate with the production team of ''Doomworld'' to preserve continuity between the two films. The final sequence of ''Incursion'' transitions directly into the setting of the follow-up.&lt;ref name=&quot;PostContinuity&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> Mob Productions had begun discussions with several composers by July 2026, but no composer had been officially announced.&lt;ref name=&quot;ComposerSearch&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said the score would incorporate themes associated with Captain America, Superman, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Deadpool, Wolverine, the Fantastic Four, and Doom while introducing a central theme for the assembled Avengers.&lt;ref name=&quot;MusicalThemes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The same composer is expected to score ''Avengers: Incursion'' and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' to provide musical continuity between the two films.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldComposer&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> ''Avengers: Incursion'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 3, 2028.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt; It is expected to be released in [[IMAX]], Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX, and standard formats.&lt;ref name=&quot;PremiumFormats&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was originally considered for a May 2028 release, but Mob Productions selected August to provide additional time for visual-effects work following the planned completion of filming in December 2027.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReleasePlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> It will be the seventh and penultimate film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]] of the MCU.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoSlate&quot; /&gt; ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' is scheduled to follow on November 23, 2028, approximately three and a half months later.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldRelease&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Future ==<br /> ''Avengers: Incursion'' will be directly followed by ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'', which continues after Doom combines fragments of several collapsing realities into a single world.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoPartFinale&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The follow-up will focus primarily on the Fantastic Four and their conflict with Doom while also featuring heroes introduced throughout the first two phases of the MCU. It is intended to conclude the incursion storyline and establish the setting and continuity of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Three|Phase Three]].&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldFuture&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said that ''Incursion'' and ''Doomworld'' would conclude the current version of several character storylines but would not constitute a complete reboot of the MCU.&lt;ref

Produced by [[Mob Productions]] and [[AGBO]], and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is intended to be the seventh film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]], the twelfth film in the [[Mob Cinematic Universe]] (MCU), and the first film in a two-part conclusion to the phase. Directed by [[Anthony and Joe Russo]] and written by [[Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely]], the film features an [[ensemble cast]] including [[Anthony Mackie]], [[Letitia Wright]], [[David Corenswet]], [[Tom Holland]], [[Aryan Simhadri]], [[Benedict Cumberbatch]], [[Ryan Reynolds]], [[Hugh Jackman]], [[Pedro Pascal]], [[Vanessa Kirby]], [[Joseph Quinn]], [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]], and [[Mads Mikkelsen]].<br /> <br /> The film follows [[Sam Wilson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sam Wilson / Captain America]] as he assembles heroes from several realities after a series of [[Incursion (Marvel Comics)|incursions]] begins destroying the boundaries between their worlds. Their efforts bring them into conflict with [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom]], who believes that selected universes must be sacrificed to prevent the complete destruction of the multiverse. The film continues storylines established throughout Phase Two, including the temporal damage caused in ''[[Deadpool 2 (2026 film)|Deadpool 2]]'' (2026), the growing conflict between realities in ''[[Superman: Worlds Apart]]'' (2027) and ''[[Spider-Man: Web of Worlds]]'' (2027), and Doom's acquisition of scientific, magical, and interdimensional resources.<br /> <br /> Development began by mid-2025 as Mob Productions planned the concluding films of Phase Two. The Russo brothers entered negotiations to direct in October 2025, with Markus and McFeely joining as writers. The film was officially announced in December 2025 alongside ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'' (2028), which serves as its direct continuation and the conclusion of Phase Two. Mackie was confirmed to lead the ensemble as Sam Wilson, while Mikkelsen was announced to reprise his role as Doom from earlier MCU films. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in mid-2027 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England and continue for approximately six months, with additional filming planned in Atlanta, Vancouver, Iceland, and Australia.<br /> <br /> ''Avengers: Incursion'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 3, 2028. It will be followed by ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' on November 23, 2028.<br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> * [[Anthony Mackie]] as [[Sam Wilson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sam Wilson / Captain America]]: The leader of the Avengers and a former [[pararescueman]] who uses an advanced vibranium flight suit and carries the shield previously used by Steve Rogers. Director Joe Russo described Wilson as the film's &quot;moral centre&quot;, whose belief that every reality deserves to survive places him in direct opposition to Doom.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mackie&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Letitia Wright]] as [[Shuri (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Shuri / Black Panther]]: The protector of Wakanda and a scientist whose knowledge of vibranium becomes important to understanding Doom's reality-altering machine. Wright reprises the role from ''[[Black Panther: Kingdoms at War]]'' (2026).&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[David Corenswet]] as [[Clark Kent (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Clark Kent / Superman]]: A Kryptonian survivor and protector of Metropolis whose reality is threatened by the incursions. Corenswet reprises the role from ''[[Superman: Worlds Apart]]''.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Tom Holland]] as [[Peter Parker (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Peter Parker / Spider-Man]]: A young hero from Earth-616 whose connection to the Web of Life and Destiny allows him to sense changes between realities. Holland reprises the role from ''[[Spider-Man: Web of Worlds]]''.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Aryan Simhadri]] as [[Alex Singh (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Alex Singh / School Warrior]]: A teenage vigilante who possesses a Chronal Core capable of detecting differences in the passage of time between colliding realities. Simhadri reprises the role from ''[[School Warrior: Shadow Protocol]]'' (2027).&lt;ref name=&quot;Simhadri&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Benedict Cumberbatch]] as [[Stephen Strange (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Dr. Stephen Strange]]: A former surgeon and practitioner of the mystic arts who investigates the magical effects of the incursions. Strange believes Doom is combining technology with energy taken from the Nightmare Realm.&lt;ref name=&quot;Cumberbatch&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Ryan Reynolds]] as [[Wade Wilson (film character)|Wade Wilson / Deadpool]]: A mercenary from Earth-10005 with accelerated healing and an awareness of the wider multiverse. Wade possesses knowledge of the temporal damage caused by the destruction of the Time Ripper.&lt;ref name=&quot;Reynolds&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Hugh Jackman]] as [[Logan (film character)|Logan / Wolverine]]: A mutant with regenerative abilities, retractable claws, and an adamantium skeleton. Logan became the anchor being of Earth-10005 following the events of ''[[Deadpool &amp; Wolverine]]'' (2024).&lt;ref name=&quot;Jackman&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Pedro Pascal]] as [[Reed Richards (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic]]: A highly intelligent scientist and the leader of the Fantastic Four whose body can stretch to extraordinary lengths. Richards has been independently investigating the collapse of the multiverse.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Vanessa Kirby]] as [[Susan Storm (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Susan Storm / Invisible Woman]]: Richards's wife and a member of the Fantastic Four who can become invisible and generate force fields.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Joseph Quinn]] as [[Johnny Storm (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Johnny Storm / Human Torch]]: Sue's younger brother and a member of the Fantastic Four who can control fire, engulf his body in flames, and fly.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] as [[Ben Grimm (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Ben Grimm / the Thing]]: Richards's best friend and a member of the Fantastic Four whose body was transformed into an orange rock-like form, granting him superhuman strength and durability.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> * [[Mads Mikkelsen]] as [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom]]: The ruler of Latveria and a scientist and sorcerer who believes that destroying selected realities is the only way to preserve the remainder of the multiverse. Mikkelsen reprises the role from ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'' (2025) and other Phase Two films.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional actors from previous MCU films are expected to appear. Mob Productions has not announced the complete ensemble, and Goodwin said that several returning characters would be withheld until closer to filming.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Production ==<br /> <br /> === Development ===<br /> Mob Productions began planning a large-scale Avengers crossover while developing the second phase of the MCU. In June 2019, studio president [[Freddie Goodwin]] said that the company had outlined stories for several future phases and was developing a long-term narrative involving characters from different comic-book publishers.&lt;ref name=&quot;LongTermPlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> During the development of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]], Goodwin considered using the Avengers name for the planned team-up film that eventually became ''[[Ascendants (2026 film)|Ascendants]]'' (2026). The studio instead decided to reserve the Avengers for a later crossover after more established characters had been introduced.&lt;ref name=&quot;AvengersName&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first significant plans for ''Avengers: Incursion'' were developed in early 2025 following completion of ''Ascendants''. Goodwin wanted the next crossover to unite characters from Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Mob Comics rather than focus on one existing team.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDevelopment&quot; /&gt; The project was initially known internally as ''Avengers 1'' and ''Collision Point''.&lt;ref name=&quot;WorkingTitle&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film's storyline was influenced by the Marvel Comics concept of incursions, in which two universes collide and are destroyed unless one is eliminated. Goodwin said this allowed the film to present a conflict without a simple solution, because saving one universe could require the destruction of another.&lt;ref name=&quot;IncursionConcept&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions also drew inspiration from the 2012–2015 ''Avengers'' and ''New Avengers'' comic-book runs written by [[Jonathan Hickman]], particularly the &quot;[[Time Runs Out]]&quot; storyline. The studio did not intend to directly adapt those comics but used their treatment of moral compromise and collapsing universes as a basis for the film.&lt;ref name=&quot;ComicsInfluence&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> By July 2025, Goodwin confirmed that the studio was planning an Avengers film as part of Phase Two but did not reveal its title or release date. He described the project as the beginning of a two-film conclusion to the phase.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Anthony and Joe Russo]], who had previously directed several large ensemble superhero films, entered negotiations to direct in October 2025. Mob Productions wanted filmmakers with experience coordinating multiple character storylines and extensive visual effects.&lt;ref name=&quot;RussosTalks&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely]] entered discussions to write the film shortly afterwards. They began developing the story with Goodwin and the Russo brothers while the scripts for other Phase Two films were still being completed.&lt;ref name=&quot;WritersHired&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> At the Mob Productions Showcase in December 2025, Goodwin officially announced the film as '''''Avengers: Incursion'''''. The studio confirmed the Russo brothers as directors, Markus and McFeely as writers, and August 3, 2028, as its United States release date.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was announced alongside ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'', which was described as a direct continuation and the concluding film of Phase Two. Goodwin said that ''Incursion'' would have its own story and climax despite leading immediately into ''Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoPartFinale&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Russo brothers are producing the film through their company [[AGBO]] alongside Goodwin. Anthony Russo said the film would be larger than any previous Mob Productions project but that its principal storyline would remain focused on Sam Wilson's attempt to hold the heroes together.&lt;ref name=&quot;AGBO&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Writing ===<br /> Markus and McFeely began writing the screenplay in late 2025. Their initial treatment incorporated story information from each Phase Two film, with individual filmmakers providing details concerning their characters and unresolved storylines.&lt;ref name=&quot;WritingBegins&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film follows the consequences of the Time Ripper's destruction in ''Deadpool 2'', which weakens the barriers separating several realities. The temporal damage worsens in ''Superman: Worlds Apart'' and ''Spider-Man: Web of Worlds'', while ''[[Doctor Strange: Nightmare Realm]]'' (2028) establishes that supernatural dimensions have also been affected.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoConnections&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Markus said the writers wanted each preceding film to contribute something important without making audiences feel required to remember every detail. The screenplay explains the incursions through the perspectives of Sam Wilson, Superman, and Reed Richards, who have different levels of knowledge about the multiverse.&lt;ref name=&quot;MarkusInterview&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Wilson was selected as the film's primary protagonist because he lacks the superhuman abilities and cosmic knowledge possessed by many of the other characters. McFeely said Wilson's role is not to solve the scientific problem but to decide what principles the team follows when no solution can save everyone.&lt;ref name=&quot;WilsonLead&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The writers structured the heroes into several groups. Wilson leads the Earth-616 response, while Richards, Strange, and Shuri investigate Doom's machine. Superman, Spider-Man, School Warrior, Deadpool, and Wolverine become involved in separate incursion zones before the characters unite.&lt;ref name=&quot;TeamStructure&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Reynolds contributed to Deadpool's dialogue but did not receive a screenplay credit. The Russo brothers said the character would provide humor without undermining the destruction depicted in the film. Wade's awareness of cinematic conventions is also used to question whether the heroes are being forced into a predetermined crossover.&lt;ref name=&quot;DeadpoolWriting&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Doom was written as an antagonist who accurately identifies the multiverse's impending destruction but chooses an authoritarian solution. Goodwin said the film would not depict Doom as attempting to destroy existence for personal amusement; he genuinely believes that only a world under his control can survive.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomMotivation&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Fantastic Four serve as the characters most directly connected to Doom. Richards believes the multiverse can be preserved without sacrificing populated realities, while Doom considers Richards's search for a perfect solution irresponsible.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReedDoom&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film ends with Doom successfully activating his machine and combining parts of several universes into a single unstable reality. The surviving heroes are separated throughout the resulting world, establishing the events of ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;EndingSetup&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin described ''Incursion'' as a disaster film concerning the end of multiple worlds, while ''Doomworld'' would examine the civilization created from their remains.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoFilmsTone&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Casting ===<br /> [[Anthony Mackie]] was the first actor confirmed for the film. Goodwin announced in December 2025 that Mackie's Sam Wilson would lead the Avengers assembled during the incursion crisis.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mackie&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Mads Mikkelsen]] was confirmed at the same presentation to reprise his role as Victor von Doom. Mikkelsen had signed a multi-film agreement when he joined ''Doctor Doom'', allowing the character to appear throughout Phase Two.&lt;ref name=&quot;Mikkelsen&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In January 2026, [[Pedro Pascal]], [[Vanessa Kirby]], [[Joseph Quinn]], and [[Ebon Moss-Bachrach]] were confirmed to reprise their roles as the Fantastic Four. They are expected to film material for ''Incursion'' and ''Doomworld'' during overlapping production schedules.&lt;ref name=&quot;FantasticFourCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Ryan Reynolds]] and [[Hugh Jackman]] were confirmed in February following the completion of promotional work for ''Deadpool 2''. Reynolds also joined as an executive producer but was not credited as one of the film's principal producers.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReynoldsJackman&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Letitia Wright]], [[David Corenswet]], [[Tom Holland]], [[Aryan Simhadri]], and [[Benedict Cumberbatch]] were announced during Mob Productions' Phase Two presentation in April 2026. Each actor reprises a character featured in an earlier film in the phase.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said that negotiations were continuing with several performers from Phase One and the ''Ascendants'' ensemble. He declined to state whether every character announced for the film would survive its events or appear in ''Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;HiddenCast&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Pre-production ===<br /> Pre-production began at [[Pinewood Studios]] in May 2026, more than a year before the planned start of principal photography. The long preparation period was intended to coordinate actor schedules, construct sets shared with ''Doomworld'', and complete extensive [[previsualization]] for the incursion sequences.&lt;ref name=&quot;PreProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The production design team began constructing a central Avengers facility combining Wakandan technology, Fantastic Four equipment, and resources provided by the TVA. Additional sets represent damaged sections of New York City, Metropolis, Wakanda, Latveria, the Baxter Building, and several merged environments.&lt;ref name=&quot;ProductionDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The incursions are designed to appear as physical collisions between locations rather than portals. Buildings, landscapes, weather systems, and gravity from separate realities occupy the same space, causing objects and people to shift between different physical rules.&lt;ref name=&quot;IncursionDesign&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The filmmakers planned to build large sections of the overlapping environments practically before combining them through digital extensions. Joe Russo said the characters needed physical structures to interact with so that the destruction would not resemble actors performing entirely against digital backgrounds.&lt;ref name=&quot;PracticalSets&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Costume development began in early 2026. Mackie retains the Captain America suit and shield introduced earlier in the franchise, with additional protection designed for unstable environments. Corenswet's Superman costume receives visible damage throughout the film, while Jackman's Wolverine wears a variation of his brown-and-tan comic-book suit.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Fantastic Four receive updated suits designed to interact with the conditions on Doomworld. Doom's armor combines the design introduced in his solo film with technology and magical symbols collected throughout Phase Two.&lt;ref name=&quot;Costumes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was expected to have the largest production budget of any Mob Productions film made up to that point. Goodwin declined to disclose a figure but said that ''Incursion'' and ''Doomworld'' were being budgeted as separate films rather than one production divided into two releases.&lt;ref name=&quot;Budget&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Filming ===<br /> [[Principal photography]] is scheduled to begin in June 2027 at [[Pinewood Studios]] in England under the working title ''Collision''.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingStart&quot; /&gt; Production is expected to continue for approximately six months and conclude in December 2027.&lt;ref name=&quot;FilmingLength&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The main production will be based at Pinewood, where sets for the Avengers facility, Baxter Building, Latverian throne room, and several incursion zones will be constructed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Pinewood&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Location filming is planned in London, Atlanta, Vancouver, Iceland, and Australia. Iceland will be used for landscapes belonging to collapsing realities, while Australian locations will represent sections of Doom's combined world.&lt;ref name=&quot;Locations&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The production is not expected to film entirely back-to-back with ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'', although some sets, crew members, and actor schedules will overlap. Several sequences for ''Doomworld'' may be filmed during principal photography on ''Incursion'' when required by location or cast availability.&lt;ref name=&quot;Overlap&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Russo brothers plan to use multiple shooting units because of the size of the ensemble. Anthony Russo will primarily oversee scenes involving Wilson and the Avengers, while Joe Russo will concentrate on Doom, the Fantastic Four, and the large-scale incursion material. Both directors will jointly direct the film's principal ensemble sequences.&lt;ref name=&quot;Units&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Additional photography is expected to occur in early 2028 after an initial edit has been assembled. Goodwin said the additional photography was built into the schedule because several character appearances and transitions into ''Doomworld'' could require adjustment.&lt;ref name=&quot;AdditionalPhotography&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> === Post-production ===<br /> Post-production is expected to begin while principal photography remains underway. Mob Productions plans to complete sequences for visual-effects vendors as filming progresses because the film has less than eight months between its planned production wrap and release.&lt;ref name=&quot;PostProduction&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The visual effects will include the collision and destruction of multiple realities, transformations between environments, alternate gravity, and the creation of the world formed during the climax.&lt;ref name=&quot;VisualEffects&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The filmmakers intend to distinguish the incursions from the temporal overlaps in ''Deadpool 2''. In that film, separate timelines temporarily occupied the same location, while ''Incursion'' depicts entire universes physically destroying one another.&lt;ref name=&quot;EffectsDifference&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Editors and visual-effects supervisors are also expected to coordinate with the production team of ''Doomworld'' to preserve continuity between the two films. The final sequence of ''Incursion'' transitions directly into the setting of the follow-up.&lt;ref name=&quot;PostContinuity&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> Mob Productions had begun discussions with several composers by July 2026, but no composer had been officially announced.&lt;ref name=&quot;ComposerSearch&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said the score would incorporate themes associated with Captain America, Superman, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Deadpool, Wolverine, the Fantastic Four, and Doom while introducing a central theme for the assembled Avengers.&lt;ref name=&quot;MusicalThemes&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The same composer is expected to score ''Avengers: Incursion'' and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' to provide musical continuity between the two films.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldComposer&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Release ==<br /> ''Avengers: Incursion'' is scheduled to be released in the United States on August 3, 2028.&lt;ref name=&quot;OfficialAnnouncement&quot; /&gt; It is expected to be released in [[IMAX]], Dolby Cinema, 4DX, ScreenX, and standard formats.&lt;ref name=&quot;PremiumFormats&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The film was originally considered for a May 2028 release, but Mob Productions selected August to provide additional time for visual-effects work following the planned completion of filming in December 2027.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReleasePlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> It will be the seventh and penultimate film of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]] of the MCU.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoSlate&quot; /&gt; ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' is scheduled to follow on November 23, 2028, approximately three and a half months later.&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldRelease&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Future ==<br /> ''Avengers: Incursion'' will be directly followed by ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'', which continues after Doom combines fragments of several collapsing realities into a single world.&lt;ref name=&quot;TwoPartFinale&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The follow-up will focus primarily on the Fantastic Four and their conflict with Doom while also featuring heroes introduced throughout the first two phases of the MCU. It is intended to conclude the incursion storyline and establish the setting and continuity of [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Three|Phase Three]].&lt;ref name=&quot;DoomworldFuture&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Goodwin said that ''Incursion'' and ''Doomworld'' would conclude the current version of several character storylines but would not constitute a complete reboot of the MCU.&lt;ref name=&quot;NotReboot&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist|refs=<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- CAST --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;ref name=&quot;Mackie&quot;&gt;{{Cite web |title=Anthony Mackie

The films are based on characters appearing in publications by [[Marvel Comics]], [[DC Comics]], and [[Mob Comics]]. They are written and directed by various filmmakers and feature large, often ensemble, casts.<br /> <br /> [[Freddie Goodwin]], the president of Mob Productions, has produced each film in the franchise. [[Ryan Reynolds]] also produced ''[[Deadpool &amp; Wolverine]]'' (2024) and its sequel, ''[[Deadpool 2 (2026 film)|Deadpool 2]]'' (2026). Most of the films are distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], while [[Sony Pictures Releasing]] is scheduled to distribute ''[[Spider-Man: Web of Worlds]]'' (2027).<br /> <br /> Mob Productions releases the films in groups called &quot;Phases&quot;. [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] began with ''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine'' in February 2024 and concluded with ''[[Ascendants (2026 film)|Ascendants]]'' in February 2026. [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]] began with ''Deadpool 2'' in May 2026 and is scheduled to conclude with ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'' in November 2028.<br /> <br /> As of July 2026, six films have been released. Additional projects are in various stages of production and development.<br /> <br /> ==Development==<br /> <br /> ===Formation of Mob Productions===<br /> In September 2012, [[SOI Studios]] president [[Freddie Goodwin]] entered discussions with Mob Productions and other entertainment companies regarding the creation of a shared film and television franchise. The negotiations were delayed several times because of disagreements concerning ownership and creative control.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDevelopment&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> During an online presentation in April 2013, Goodwin said that discussions concerning the proposed franchise remained active. In June 2016, SOI Studios formally merged with Mob Productions, with Goodwin retaining his position as president of the combined company.&lt;ref name=&quot;Merger&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Early development focused on separate films involving [[Deadpool]], [[Wolverine]], the [[Fantastic Four]], and original characters owned by Mob Comics. Reports of Deadpool and Wolverine projects emerged in 2018, although Mob Productions did not initially confirm whether the films would share continuity.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyFilms&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In 2020, [[Ryan Reynolds]] was announced to reprise his role as [[Wade Wilson (film character)|Wade Wilson / Deadpool]]. Goodwin said the film would retain elements of Reynolds' previous Deadpool films while incorporating the character into the new shared universe.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReynoldsReturn&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Phase One===<br /> During Mob Productions' presentation at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2022, Goodwin announced the initial Phase One slate. It included separate Deadpool and Wolverine projects, ''[[The Fantastic Four (2024 film)|The Fantastic Four]]'', ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'', and a team film based on original superpowered characters.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseOneAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> By the end of 2022, the separate Deadpool and Wolverine projects had been combined as ''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine''. Goodwin said the decision was made after the creative teams concluded that both films were addressing similar multiversal storylines.&lt;ref name=&quot;DeadpoolMerger&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> On July 13, 2024, Goodwin released a 90-minute presentation outlining the future of the franchise. He confirmed that several Phase One films had already completed production and announced that the phase would culminate in ''Ascendants'', featuring an original team of heroes.&lt;ref name=&quot;JulyPresentation&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A planned film titled ''Sunfire x Dazzler: The Mutant Face-Off'' was cancelled in December 2024. Its intended release position was removed from the phase, while ''Ascendants'' was eventually scheduled for February 12, 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;SunfireCancelled&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Phase Two===<br /> Development of Phase Two began while the later Phase One films were in production. Goodwin said the second phase would increase the connections between the franchise's Marvel, DC, and Mob Comics characters while retaining distinct genres for each film.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoDevelopment&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first Phase Two project to enter production was ''Deadpool 2'', a sequel to ''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine''. The film continued the consequences of the Time Ripper's destruction and introduced temporal incursions that affect the wider franchise.&lt;ref name=&quot;Deadpool2Development&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In April 2025, Goodwin announced that the Phase Two slate would be revealed later that year. The finalized slate replaced several projects from earlier development plans, including proposed ''Iron Man'' and ''Blade'' films.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoRevision&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The revised phase consists of eight films: ''Deadpool 2'', ''[[Black Panther: Kingdoms at War]]'', ''[[Superman: Worlds Apart]]'', ''[[Spider-Man: Web of Worlds]]'', ''[[School Warrior: Shadow Protocol]]'', ''[[Doctor Strange: Nightmare Realm]]'', ''[[Avengers: Incursion]]'', and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoSlate&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The phase's overarching storyline concerns the destabilization of multiple realities and [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom]]'s attempt to combine surviving worlds into a single reality under his control. ''Avengers: Incursion'' and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' form the two-part conclusion of that storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoArc&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Future planning===<br /> Goodwin has said that Mob Productions generally develops broad storylines several years beyond its publicly announced slate. In 2019, he stated that plans existed for at least six phases beyond the franchise's earliest projects.&lt;ref name=&quot;LongTermPlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions has announced that ''[[Captain Marvel (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Captain Marvel]]'' and a sequel to ''Ascendants'' are in development, but neither film has been assigned to a phase or given an official release date.&lt;ref name=&quot;FutureFilms&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A Phase Three slate has not been formally announced.<br /> <br /> ==Films==<br /> Mob Productions releases its films in groups called &quot;Phases&quot;.<br /> <br /> ===Phase One===<br /> {{Main|Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One}}<br /> {{Table alignment}}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable plainrowheaders defaultcenter col2left&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Film<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | U.S. release date<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Director<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Screenwriter(s)<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Producer(s)<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Deadpool &amp; Wolverine]]''<br /> | February 8, 2024<br /> | [[Freddie Goodwin]]<br /> |Freddie Goodwin, Benjamin Knowles, Sara Case, Patrick Reid<br /> | Freddie Goodwin &amp; Ryan Reynolds<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[The Fantastic Four (2024 film)|The Fantastic Four]]''<br /> | July 28, 2024<br /> | [[Jackson Miller]]<br /> | Sara Case, Patrick Reid<br /> | rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | Freddie Goodwin<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]''<br /> | January 3, 2025<br /> | [[Wilma Zimmerman]]<br /> |Wilma Zimmerman, Myla Salazar, Sara Case, Patrick Reid, Ethan Morland, Clara Redwood<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[The Wolverine: Rebirth]]''<br /> | March 11, 2025<br /> | colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Wilma Zimmerman<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Ascendants (2026 film)|Ascendants]]''<br /> | February 12, 2026<br /> | [[Finnian Hawke]]<br /> | [[Ulysses Black]]<br /> |}<br /> ===Phase Two===<br /> {{Main|Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two}}{{:Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two}}<br /> <br /> ===Future films===<br /> At any given time, Mob Productions has several films in early development beyond its announced phases.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable plainrowheaders defaultcenter col2left&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Film<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Release date<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Director<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Screenwriter(s)<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Producer(s)<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Status<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Captain Marvel (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Captain Marvel]]''<br /> | {{N/A|TBA}}<br /> | [[James Gunn]]<br /> |James Gunn, Freddie Goodwin, Ethan Morland<br /> | Freddie Goodwin<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | In development<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | Untitled ''Ascendants'' sequel<br /> | {{N/A|TBA}}<br /> | {{N/A|TBA}}<br /> | Freddie Goodwin &amp; Ryan Reynolds<br /> | Freddie Goodwin &amp; Ryan Reynolds<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====''Captain Marvel''====<br /> A film based on [[Captain Marvel]] is in development with James Gunn attached to direct.

The films are based on characters appearing in publications by [[Marvel Comics]], [[DC Comics]], and [[Mob Comics]]. They are written and directed by various filmmakers and feature large, often ensemble, casts.<br /> <br /> [[Freddie Goodwin]], the president of Mob Productions, has produced each film in the franchise. [[Ryan Reynolds]] also produced ''[[Deadpool &amp; Wolverine]]'' (2024) and its sequel, ''[[Deadpool 2 (2026 film)|Deadpool 2]]'' (2026). Most of the films are distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], while [[Sony Pictures Releasing]] is scheduled to distribute ''[[Spider-Man: Web of Worlds]]'' (2027).<br /> <br /> Mob Productions releases the films in groups called &quot;Phases&quot;. [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One|Phase One]] began with ''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine'' in February 2024 and concluded with ''[[Ascendants (2026 film)|Ascendants]]'' in February 2026. [[Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase Two|Phase Two]] began with ''Deadpool 2'' in May 2026 and is scheduled to conclude with ''[[The Fantastic Four: Doomworld]]'' in November 2028.<br /> <br /> As of July 2026, six films have been released. Additional projects are in various stages of production and development.<br /> <br /> ==Development==<br /> <br /> ===Formation of Mob Productions===<br /> In September 2012, [[SOI Studios]] president [[Freddie Goodwin]] entered discussions with Mob Productions and other entertainment companies regarding the creation of a shared film and television franchise. The negotiations were delayed several times because of disagreements concerning ownership and creative control.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyDevelopment&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> During an online presentation in April 2013, Goodwin said that discussions concerning the proposed franchise remained active. In June 2016, SOI Studios formally merged with Mob Productions, with Goodwin retaining his position as president of the combined company.&lt;ref name=&quot;Merger&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Early development focused on separate films involving [[Deadpool]], [[Wolverine]], the [[Fantastic Four]], and original characters owned by Mob Comics. Reports of Deadpool and Wolverine projects emerged in 2018, although Mob Productions did not initially confirm whether the films would share continuity.&lt;ref name=&quot;EarlyFilms&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In 2020, [[Ryan Reynolds]] was announced to reprise his role as [[Wade Wilson (film character)|Wade Wilson / Deadpool]]. Goodwin said the film would retain elements of Reynolds' previous Deadpool films while incorporating the character into the new shared universe.&lt;ref name=&quot;ReynoldsReturn&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Phase One===<br /> During Mob Productions' presentation at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2022, Goodwin announced the initial Phase One slate. It included separate Deadpool and Wolverine projects, ''[[The Fantastic Four (2024 film)|The Fantastic Four]]'', ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]'', and a team film based on original superpowered characters.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseOneAnnouncement&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> By the end of 2022, the separate Deadpool and Wolverine projects had been combined as ''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine''. Goodwin said the decision was made after the creative teams concluded that both films were addressing similar multiversal storylines.&lt;ref name=&quot;DeadpoolMerger&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> On July 13, 2024, Goodwin released a 90-minute presentation outlining the future of the franchise. He confirmed that several Phase One films had already completed production and announced that the phase would culminate in ''Ascendants'', featuring an original team of heroes.&lt;ref name=&quot;JulyPresentation&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A planned film titled ''Sunfire x Dazzler: The Mutant Face-Off'' was cancelled in December 2024. Its intended release position was removed from the phase, while ''Ascendants'' was eventually scheduled for February 12, 2026.&lt;ref name=&quot;SunfireCancelled&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Phase Two===<br /> Development of Phase Two began while the later Phase One films were in production. Goodwin said the second phase would increase the connections between the franchise's Marvel, DC, and Mob Comics characters while retaining distinct genres for each film.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoDevelopment&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first Phase Two project to enter production was ''Deadpool 2'', a sequel to ''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine''. The film continued the consequences of the Time Ripper's destruction and introduced temporal incursions that affect the wider franchise.&lt;ref name=&quot;Deadpool2Development&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> In April 2025, Goodwin announced that the Phase Two slate would be revealed later that year. The finalized slate replaced several projects from earlier development plans, including proposed ''Iron Man'' and ''Blade'' films.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoRevision&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The revised phase consists of eight films: ''Deadpool 2'', ''[[Black Panther: Kingdoms at War]]'', ''[[Superman: Worlds Apart]]'', ''[[Spider-Man: Web of Worlds]]'', ''[[School Warrior: Shadow Protocol]]'', ''[[Doctor Strange: Nightmare Realm]]'', ''[[Avengers: Incursion]]'', and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld''.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoSlate&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The phase's overarching storyline concerns the destabilization of multiple realities and [[Victor von Doom (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Victor von Doom]]'s attempt to combine surviving worlds into a single reality under his control. ''Avengers: Incursion'' and ''The Fantastic Four: Doomworld'' form the two-part conclusion of that storyline.&lt;ref name=&quot;PhaseTwoArc&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Future planning===<br /> Goodwin has said that Mob Productions generally develops broad storylines several years beyond its publicly announced slate. In 2019, he stated that plans existed for at least six phases beyond the franchise's earliest projects.&lt;ref name=&quot;LongTermPlanning&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> Mob Productions has announced that ''[[Captain Marvel (Mob Cinematic Universe)|Captain Marvel]]'' and a sequel to ''Ascendants'' are in development, but neither film has been assigned to a phase or given an official release date.&lt;ref name=&quot;FutureFilms&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> A Phase Three slate has not been formally announced.<br /> <br /> ==Films==<br /> Mob Productions releases its films in groups called &quot;Phases&quot;.<br /> <br /> ===Phase One===<br /> {{Main|Mob Cinematic Universe: Phase One}}<br /> {{Table alignment}}<br /> &lt;onlyinclude&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable plainrowheaders defaultcenter col2left&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Film<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | U.S. release date<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Director<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Screenwriter(s)<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Producer(s)<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Status<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Deadpool &amp; Wolverine]]''<br /> | February 8, 2024<br /> | [[Freddie Goodwin]]<br /> | {{Plainlist|<br /> * Freddie Goodwin<br /> * [[Benjamin Knowles]]<br /> * [[Sara Case]]<br /> * [[Patrick Reid]]<br /> }}<br /> | {{Plainlist|<br /> * Freddie Goodwin<br /> * [[Ryan Reynolds]]<br /> }}<br /> | rowspan=&quot;5&quot; | Released<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[The Fantastic Four (2024 film)|The Fantastic Four]]''<br /> | July 28, 2024<br /> | [[Jackson Miller]]<br /> | {{Plainlist|<br /> * Sara Case<br /> * Patrick Reid<br /> }}<br /> | rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | Freddie Goodwin<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Doctor Doom (2025 film)|Doctor Doom]]''<br /> | January 3, 2025<br /> | [[Wilma Zimmerman]]<br /> | {{Plainlist|<br /> * Wilma Zimmerman<br /> * [[Myla Salazar]]<br /> * Sara Case<br /> * Patrick Reid<br /> * [[Ethan Morland]]<br /> * [[Clara Redwood]]<br /> }}<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[The Wolverine: Rebirth]]''<br /> | March 11, 2025<br /> | colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Wilma Zimmerman<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | ''[[Ascendants (2026 film)|Ascendants]]''<br /> | February 12, 2026<br /> | [[Finnian Hawke]]<br /> | [[Ulysses Black]]<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;<br /> <br /> ====''Deadpool &amp; Wolverine'' (2024)====<br /> {{Main|Deadpool &amp; Wolverine}}<br /> Wade Wilson is taken by the [[Time Variance Authority]] (TVA) and learns that his timeline is deteriorating following the death of its anchor being, Logan.
