What is the current state of superhero cinema? Either the reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated, or it's on life support, depending on who you ask. But with plenty of new releases in theaters and on TV from both the DCU and MCU in 2026, there's plenty to talk about throughout the year to come.

On this bonus podcast in advance of Ultimate Endgame, we discuss the state of Marvel's new Ultimate Universe. Two years in, how do the individual titles, including Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimates, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate Wolverine and Ultimate X-Men stack up? What about the overall plot of the universe, and the real-time format? Is the Ultimate Universe really ending? All this and much, much more.
