Avengers: Endgame could be about to make box office history all over again! Early tracking for Avengers: Endgame Encore points to a potentially massive return to theaters next week as Marvel Studios brings one of the biggest superhero movies ever back to the big screen.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest Endgame Encore box office projections, why audiences may be ready to revisit the movie in theaters, and whether Marvel's strategy could provide another massive boost heading into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Could Endgame actually reclaim or break more box office records? And with Marvel positioning the Encore version as important viewing, just how much new or altered material should MCU fans expect?
We also have some interesting Star Wars news. Alden Ehrenreich doesn't appear particularly interested in returning as a younger Han Solo following Solo: A Star Wars Story. Has the window officially closed on a Solo sequel, or could Lucasfilm eventually convince Ehrenreich to return to a galaxy far, far away?
Over at DC, Lanterns Episode 5 has sparked a major debate surrounding Hal Jordan. Has DC Studios fundamentally mishandled the character, or is there still a larger plan that could change how audiences view Hal by the end of the season? We discuss Episode 5, the controversial direction of the character, and what it could mean for the future of Green Lantern in the DCU.
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: The Lanterns Episode 5 discussion contains spoilers.
Plus, we have new details on Zack Snyder's Escape from New York, which is being described as a retro-futuristic take on the property.
If you're a fan of Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, Marvel Studios, Star Wars, Han Solo, Lanterns, Hal Jordan, Green Lantern, Zack Snyder,, this episode is for you!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially made box office history! Tom Holland's latest Spider-Man movie has reportedly become the highest-grossing movie ever in North America, adding another enormous record to what has already been an unbelievable theatrical run.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the historic success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, how the movie reached this level, and what it means for the future of Spider-Man in the MCU. Has Tom Holland's Peter Parker become Marvel Studios' most important character heading into Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, and Spider-Man 5?
Then we turn to a LOT of DC Studios news.
James Gunn is pushing back on expectations for major cameos in Man of Tomorrow. With speculation surrounding Batman, Wonder Woman, Blue Beetle and other DCU characters, Gunn appears to be trying to keep expectations under control. Is that the right move, and what should Man of Tomorrow actually focus on?
There may also be some concerning developments behind the scenes at HBO, with reports that multiple DC television projects have stalled in development. What does this mean for James Gunn and Peter Safran's larger DCU plan?
Zack Snyder is also opening up about the end of his DCEU, the theatrical version of Justice League, his experience with Joss Whedon's version of the movie, and even his involvement consulting on James Gunn's Superman. Years after the SnyderVerse came to an end, Snyder has plenty to say about how everything unfolded.
The biggest story today is the extraordinary performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Tom Holland's Spider-Man has reached another box office milestone, and the question now becomes what Marvel and Sony do next with a franchise operating at this level.

The Batman Part II is being compared to The Godfather Part II, and that's one massive claim. Sebastian Stan is teasing Matt Reeves' Batman sequel and comparing its potential to one of the most celebrated sequels in movie history. Could Robert Pattinson's second Batman movie actually surpass The Batman?
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss Stan's comments, what they could tell us about the scope and direction of The Batman Part II, and why expectations continue to rise for Matt Reeves' return to Gotham. What does the sequel need to accomplish to take Bruce Wayne's story to another level?
We're also diving into some intriguing DCU Flash speculation. The People vs. Gorilla Grodd has reportedly added two villains connected to The Flash, raising an obvious question: Could the Scarlet Speedster actually appear? If James Gunn's DC Studios is starting to build out Flash's rogues gallery, how long will it be before we finally meet the DCU's Barry Allen?
Plus, we're breaking down the biggest winners from the 2026 Emmy Awards and discussing the shows, actors and surprises that dominated television's biggest night.
There's also a major development in the animation world as Netflix and Skydance Animation end their deal. What happened, and what could this mean for the future of Skydance's animated projects?
And Shōgun Season 2 has officially wrapped filming. After the enormous success of the first season, expectations are high for the next chapter of FX's acclaimed series.
The biggest question today is whether The Batman Part II can actually live up to a comparison with The Godfather Part II. Matt Reeves has had years to develop the next chapter of Robert Pattinson's Batman story, and expectations are becoming enormous.
We're also discussing whether The People vs. Gorilla Grodd could quietly be setting up the DCU's new Flash, the biggest results from the 2026 Emmys, the end of Netflix and Skydance Animation's partnership, and the latest update on Shōgun Season 2.
If you're a fan of The Batman Part II, Robert Pattinson, Matt Reeves, Sebastian Stan, The Flash, Gorilla Grodd, James Gunn, DC Studios, the Emmys, Netflix, or Shōgun, this episode is for you!

Could The Batman Part II actually surpass the first movie? Sebastian Stan is making a massive comparison, describing Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II in terms of The Godfather Part II. That's an enormous statement, and it immediately raises expectations for Robert Pattinson's return as the Dark Knight.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss what that comparison could mean for the sequel, how Matt Reeves can expand Gotham without losing what worked about the first movie, and whether The Batman Part II could become one of the rare sequels that actually surpasses its predecessor.
We also have a new update on James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow. New production talk is making the rounds as DC Studios prepares for the next chapter of its Superman story. What can we expect from the follow-up, and what could it mean for the expanding DCU?
At the box office, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues its incredible theatrical run by breaking another major record. We also discuss the latest CinemaScores and what audiences are saying about some of the weekend's other big releases.
Meanwhile, I Play Rocky is generating major buzz following its TIFF premiere. Peter Farrelly's new drama is already being discussed as a possible Oscar contender. Could this become one of the biggest awards-season surprises?
And Zack Snyder is back with The Last Photograph. The first reactions are arriving, giving us an early indication of how audiences and critics are responding to Snyder's latest project.
