The latest season of The Boys is coming and so is the new Harry Potter series. The trailer for the Elden Ring DLC is here, and the US has pulled off another moon landing. Here’s this week in geek.
The US landed on the moon again
It’s been 50 years since Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and the Apollo 11 crew made history by landing on the moon. Now, a private company’s spacecraft has become the second US spacecraft to land on the lunar surface. Intuitive Machine’s Odyssey landed last Thursday but unfortunately tipped over on landing. According to the Associated Press, this will cut the mission short due to the solar panels not being exposed enough.
The Harry Potter series will come out in 2026
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav confirmed in the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call that the Harry Potter TV series will be released sometime in 2026. According to Deadline, Zaslav said that a meeting has happened with author JK Rowling, saying “Both sides just thrilled to be reigniting this franchise. Our conversations were great.”
The Boys Season 4 premieres on June 13
The diabolical and extremely gory Prime Video TV show finally has a release date for its upcoming season. Season 4 drops on June 13 and will see the continuation of the eponymous group’s mission to bring down Homelander, who has now enamoured his son to be on his side.
Superman: Legacy finished its table read
James Gunn took to Instagram to post a picture of the whole Superman: Legacy cast after their first table read. The film starts filming this week, so expect to see set photos as well as a glimpse at the new suit soon.
Avengers 5 is no longer Kang Dynasty
The Hollywood Reporter has dished on the alleged behind-the-scenes retooling Kevin Feige and Co. are doing in the aftermath of Marvel’s lacklustre year. Aside from overhauling the way they produce their streaming content, THR reports that Avengers 5 is dropping the Kang Dynasty as a title. This is unsurprising after Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment, but the article also alleges that Marvel had been planning to reduce Kang’s role after Quantumania underperformed.
Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree releases on June 21
Time to die (again), Tarnished. The long-awaited DLC for Elden Ring finally has a trailer and a release date: June 21. The DLC will have you tracking down Miquella, brother of Malenia, through the Land of Shadow while also facing other fearsome foes. Only a few months left to wait.
