In Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster event, Avengers: Doomsday, the boundaries of reality are about to be shattered, and the stage is set for the monumental return of the legendary founder of the X-MenProfessor Charles Xavier. Guiding heroes through the most perilous of times, his profound intellect and unparalleled telepathic abilities are set to make him an absolute force to be reckoned with.

The headsculpt is equipped with separate rolling eyeballs, so that collectors can recreate his intense focus and powerful psychic stares.

The piece measures approximately 9.65 inches (24.5 cm) tall including his wheelchair. His highly articulated body has a built-in magnetic function for securely attaching him to his wheelchair.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the Second Fastest Film to Cross $2 Billion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Sony and Marvel StudiosSpider-Man: Brand New Day is the movie juggernaut of 2026 (for now). The movie has crossed the $2 billion global mark, the second-fastest movie to do so and only eighth film to ever hit that gross.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day reached the amount in 17 days, Avengers: Endgame did it the quickest in 11 days.

It’s also the fourth highest grossing domestic film ever as of the end of its third weekend with $785.8 million. International gross is $1.236 billion for a total of $2.022 billion.

The film also has grossed the second-best third weekend domestically with an estimated $70 million. Star Wars: The Force Awakens holds the record for third weekend with $90.2 million.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing release ever in 36 markets. At this point, it’s a question if the film will be the first ever to cross $1 billion domestically.

With the bar set so high, there’s pressure on for Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday which opens on December 18. The chattering class will absolutely benchmark that film by how well Brand New Day has done and if it falls short, even if still doing very well, expect the press and grifting class to pounce.

Daredevil Born Again Season 2 with cartoonist and organizer John Leavitt

“ It’s not so much that Mayor Fisk is like [Former NYC Mayor] Eric Adams, it’s that Eric Adams is a comic book character,” — John Leavitt is a writer and cartoonist who works with the DSA Upper-Manhattan Bronx chapter and a published Marvel author with Strange Tales Volume One

I’ve been involved in New York politics for over 20 years and I’m a lifelong Daredevil reader so I was thrilled to geek out about this Disney + season him.

Marvel’s Wonder Man with Filmmaker Brandon Wilson

Marvel Disney’s recent TV series is about a struggling actor and I have the perfect guest to discuss it with me: filmmaker, life-long Los Angelino, and Marvel comics fan Brandon Wilson. Wonder Man is delightful and we’ve got a lot say about the show’s portrayals of LA, Simon Williams’s existence as a Black Haitian-American actor, the prison industrial complex, queer readings and more. You don’t need to know about Wonder Man to enjoy the show but Brandon gives us the download on Simon William’s comics history. 

Plus: the parallels with Midnight Cowboy run deeper than you think!

Spoilers marked at 20 min in.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day gets its First Trailer showing off a Film Packed with Villains and More!

A Brand New Day starts now. The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and it shows a “street level” film packed with villains and characters from Spider-Man’s comic history.

The Punisher, Scorpion, Hand Ninjas, Boomerang, and Bruce Banner are all aboard, along with teases of Man-Spider!?

Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters July 31, 2026.
