Welcome back to The Kristian Karloff Show, where we break down the biggest Marvel and DC news of the week! Today we dive into huge updates from the MCU, DCU, Sony's Spider-Verse, and DC Studios—starting with AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY. Marvel Studios has officially kicked off marketing as Disney+ teases Doctor Doom's long-awaited return with the new FIRST STEPS image. What does this mean for the future of the MCU and Doom's role in the multiverse saga?

Next, we jump into LANTERNS, where James Gunn may be bringing two of the most unpopular Green Lantern suits into the DCU. Are these designs really coming back, and how might they play into the new Max series that will help shape the foundation of Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters?

We also break down a juicy rumor from the Sony side of things: a report claiming the studio wanted the VENOM director to helm SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY—and the surprising reason it didn't happen. What could this have meant for the future of the Spider-Man franchise?

And finally, SUPERGIRL adds a key cast member as social media activity suggests the first trailer may be dropping any moment. With "Woman of Tomorrow" officially gearing up, we explore what this new casting means and how soon fans can expect the full reveal.

If you're into MCU updates, DC Universe news, superhero casting breakdowns, and Spider-Man franchise rumors, this episode has it all.
