• Treasure Island is getting a fresh take in an MGM+ series that’s coming on October 11.
• The trailer for Treasure Island has gained a lot of views, but it seems those in the comments aren’t too sure about it.
• MGM+ is looking for a way to keep subscribers locked in, and maybe this will do the trick.

Yes, there are too many streaming services in the world. But, some of them really know how to lure people in for another subscription. That certainly applies to MGM+. A lot of folks were willing to subscribe because of the popular horror series From. And now that series is coming to an end, but MGM+ has another trick up their sleeves with Treasure Island, a reimagined series of the classic tale with an epic trailer. 

People are really into this clip. After being up only one day, it amassed around 773K views. That’s a lot of clicks, whether people are offering praise or criticism. Here’s the synopsis that the trailer video gives us for MGM+’s Treasure Island: 

A high-stakes reinvention of the classic, Treasure Island follows teenager Jim Hawkins and his formidable mother Bess as they’re pulled into a deadly race for the treasure of the infamous Captain Flint. Battling for control are Long John Silver—a ruthless survivor who is just as charming as he is cunning —and Aaron Graham, a revolutionary spy seeking to use the gold to upend colonial power. Set in 1788 across storm-battered Cornwall, treacherous seas, and a jungle island soaked in secrets, this is Treasure Island reimagined as a thrilling, immersive, and character-driven epic.

If you are one of those people who are curious or totally onboard with this series, you won’t have to wait very long. Treasure Island will arrive on MGM+ on October 11.

• After years of developmental struggles, Saw 11 is happening with Silent Night, Deadly Night director Mike P. Nelson at its helm.
• Saw 11 does not have an official title yet, as evidenced by the franchise’s announcement video featuring Billy the Puppet.
• The film will be produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, which brings James Wan back into the fold.

Billy the Puppet misses you, apparently. While he’s the last figure that we’d want to see on a screen whilst stuck in a torture trap in real life, many horror fans enjoy watching this scenario play out with characters on the big screen. Jigsaw’s diabolical machinations in the Saw franchise have gone on for ten films, and now there is an eleventh movie happening. According to Entertainment Weekly, Saw 11 finally made it out of developmental darkness and is happening soon. 

Saw/X

Saw posted a video on its X account of Billy riding his trademark tricycle by a script that says “Untitled Saw” along with “Directed by Mike P. Nelson.” It’s hard to believe that the franchise started back in 2004, bringing torture horror into the forefront of the genre. While subsequent installments did wear some viewers thin, the Saw franchise has enough of a following that people are still down for another movie. This film will be produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, which puts James Wan back into creative power.

“Making the original Saw was a defining experience for me, so it was essential to find a director who would honor that world,” Wan said in a press release. “Mike has a raw, distinctive filmmaking voice with an inventive approach to the genre, and I believe he’ll bring something truly unique and special to the franchise.”

Nelson is ready to get into this wild world as well, saying, “Greg and Geoff and James have crafted such a wild script that brings the mystery of the original while exploring new insane bloody ideas that meld so well with the brutal moral compass of the franchise. Let the games begin!”

It is not clear when Saw 11 will release nor who its stars will be at this time. It’s been around three years since Saw X hit theaters, so perhaps we will see this next round in 2028.

Quick Take

• Avengers Endgame: Encore features four new scenes. Here’s what each of them is and what they mean for Avengers: Doomsday.
• These four Avengers: Endgame scenes show that Steve Rogers’ happy ending with Peggy Carter led to the multiversal disaster we will see in Avengers: Doomsday.
• One of these “encore” scenes feels like it belongs in a different movie and is teasing Doomsday‘s sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars.

The Russo Brothers said Avengers Endgame: Encore‘s extra scenes would serve as a bridge to Avengers: Doomsday. Turns out that was only partially true. The superhero-sized edition of the film features four additional scenes, one of which seems to connect to Avengers: Secret Wars rather than its predecessor. Here’s what happened in each “Encore” moment and what they mean for Avengers: Doomsday.

What Happens In Avengers: Endgame First New Scene? Loki Interrupts Steve and Peggy’s Dance Marvel Studios

Avengers: Endgame ended with a shot of Steve Rogers in the past dancing with Peggy Carter. Right before that, in the present, a very old, very content Steve told Sam Wilson he had decided it was time to try and find a life. But we never saw anything that happened to the former Captain America between his dance and his chat with Sam many decades later. Until Avengers Endgame: Encore. The first new Avengers Endgame: Encore scene shows Loki in a TVA jacket arrive at Peggy’s house. His knock at the door interrupts the couple’s dance. Peggy cautiously opens the door while Steve Rogers hides out of sight on high alert. In the new Avengers: Endgame scene, Peggy asks Loki if she can help him. Loki says he doesn’t need help, but that he can help both of them. Steve Rogers stares shocked at Loki and the moment ends uneasily.

What Does Loki, Steve, and Peggy’s Extra Scene in Endgame Mean for Avengers: Doomsday? Marvel Studios

There have long been rumors about this exact Avengers: Endgame scene between Steve, Peggy, and Loki, which Anthony Russo has already confirmed is now directly responsible for Doomsday. His comments after an Encore screening indicate Steve’s trip to the past led to Doctor Doom’s rise. That makes us think the other rumors about this new Avengers: Endgame moment are also true: that Loki will try to move Steve and Peggy to another dimension entirely in Avengers: Doomsday. Could that be to try and preemptively stop an alternate, dangerous timeline? Reset the multiverse? Protect Earth-616? Only Steve and Peggy? Another dimension?

Whatever the reason Loki knocked on that door it’s clear that Steve Rogers is a huge part of Avengers: Doomsday. He’s the reason it exists. The question is whether or not old Steve’s conversation with Sam is a sign the Avengers will win, or if it will now have never happen.

What Happens In Avengers: Endgame Second New Scene? Doctor Doom “Collects” the Hulk Marvel Studios/Sony

Another new scene in Avengers Endgame: Encore is essentially an extra end-credits scene for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It shows Bruce Banner alone two miles underground in a secure bunker. He and the military put him there after his first “incident” in a decade, a reference to Jean Grey making him “Hulk out.” Dr. Banner, alone and speaking to a camera, says he’s there experimenting with a new gamma serum to keep his big green guy under control. That’s when the lights start to flicker and a green glow . We then hear (but never see) the voice of Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom in this new Avengers: Endgame scene. He’s there to “collect” Banner, but as Doom takes him we hear Hulk’s voice. The two then disappear as Doom’s glowing green runes cover the floor.

What Does Bruce Banner’s Extra Scene in Endgame Mean for Avengers Doomsday? Marvel Studios/Sony

Not only does this sequence feel like a Spider-Man: Brand New Day “encore” scene rather than an Endgame one, it’s also far more likely a tease for Avengers: Secret Wars. In Brand New Day, an end-credits scene showed Ned’s Spider-Man tracker showing Peter Parker suddenly being transported into space. While that could indicate Tom Holland’s web-slinger will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, it was clearly meant to tease his involvement in Battleworld which will happen in Secret Wars. That’s where it looks like Doom is taking the Hulk he just “collected.” The two MCU scenes also featured the same kind of glitching, pointing to them being directly connected.

If that’s the case, this is not really a new Avengers: Endgame scene meant to bridge the story to Doomsday, but is really an extra Spider-Man: Brand New Day scene that sets up Secret Wars.

What Happens In Avengers: Endgame Third New Scene? The TVA Watches the Multiverse Collapse

The serenity the multiverse experienced after Loki weaved every world/the Sacred Timeline into the Tree of Life might have lasted a trillion years. We wouldn’t know cause time works differently at the Time Variance Authority. But for MCU fans experiencing time normally it didn’t take long for the multiverse’s peace to end. In an explosive new Avengers: Endgame scene, Mobius and other TVA agents watched as thousands of incursions suddenly took place without warning, clearly setting up chaos in Doomsday.

It began with Earth-10005, the Fox X-Men universe, about to collide with Earth-1127. The two planets then began firing on one another. Before Mobius, Ke Huy Quan’s Ouroboros, or Eugene Cordero’s Casey could figure out why this was happening, other incursions started destroying entire worlds that were “terminated.” A red split broke up the monitor’s Tree of Life model. By the end of the scene they lost 3,000 universe because “the multiverse is collapsing.”

What Does the TVA Extra Scene in Endgame Mean for Avengers Doomsday? Marvel Studios

Whatever story Doctor Doom will tell the Avengers about Earth-1005 and the collapse of the multiverse will be based in truth. Every dimension is in real danger. And the X-Men will fight to keep their world safe even at the cost of trillions of others. There’s also no sign the TVA can do anything to stop it when they didn’t even see the collapse coming. Of all the new Avengers: Endgame Encore scenes, this is the most important. It also means Deadpool & Wolverine is an absolute must-watch before Doomsday.

The new Endgame scene additionally indicates that Loki’s possible attempt to relocate Steve and Peggy will create more problems than it solves in Avengers: Doomsday. It begins with the voice of Miss Minutes saying, “Stay in your universe so we don’t have to hunt you down like a dog.” Clearly crossing over to other dimensions is very bad for every dimension.

Marvel Studios What Happens In Avengers: Endgame Final New Scene? Doctor Doom Hammers His Mask

The real Avengers: Endgame didn’t feature any end-credits scenes. Instead it ended with the sound of hammering, a clear callback to the start of the Infinity Saga when Tony Stark built his first Iron Man suit “in a cave with a box of scraps!” But in this altered Endgame, we instead see that hammering is the work of Victor von Doom, who is crafting his own iconic iron mask and suit of armor.

What Does Doom’s Hammering in Endgame Mean for Avengers Doomsday? Marvel Studios

For the movie? Nothing. This scene doesn’t mean anything for Avengers: Doomsday because it’s merely showing Doom making his mask. But it does mean the Russos and the MCU can claim this was always the plan, that what we thought was the sound of a tribute was secretly the ultimate MCU end-credits tease.

Whether we believe that or not doesn’t matter. We were always going to see Avengers: Doomsday even without an Endgame encore and any new scenes. But we guess at least now, we kind of have a lead-up to the story.

Quick Take

• Anthony Russo confirms that Steve Rogers going back in time in Avengers: Endgame causes Avengers: Doomsday to happen.

So, you agree. Unilaterally deciding that only you are allowed to go back in time to disrupt the life of a woman who was moving on, carrying YEARS of trauma that she could not possibly begin to fathom, while abandoning all your best friends and found family who DO need you, is a villainous thing to do? That’s what I heard Anthony Russo say about Steve Roger going back into the past to be with Peggy Carter in Avengers: Endgame. Okay, he didn’t literally say that… But he did say that Steve Rogers’ decision to go back to the past and stay there is what causes Avengers: Doomsday to happen. And is that really a surprise? As Tony Stark would tell you, “When you mess with time, it tends to mess back.” And Steve’s comuppence for his selfish, and dare I say evil, choices might just cost everyone dearly. You can listen to what Anthony Russo shared about Steve Rogers’ decisions causing Avengers: Doomsday below.

— Avengers Updates (@AvengersUpdated) September 25, 2026 Here’s What Causes Avengers: Doomsday to Happen

The Avengers: Endgame rerelease, Avengers Endgame: Encore, adds a brand-new scene that changes the ending of Avengers: Endgame and ties it into Avengers: Doomsday. In it, we see Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter’s so-called idyllic dance interrupted by a knock on the door. It’s Loki, and he has bad news. Steve and Peggy are in danger, and Loki thinks he can help them. Alas, it seems like Steve’s decision to head back to the past and mess with time will FINALLY have some consequences.

MArvel Studios

When asked if there’s a character choice that means something different in Avengers: Endgame than it did before, Anthony Russo shares—“There’s certainly a pivotal moment in that film, in the end, where the moment has a different meaning. We play one beat past where Steve Rogers’ story ended with Peggy Carter, and in that moment, that’s where Doomsday is born.”

Although Russo isn’t EXPLICITLY clear, it certainly sounds like he’s saying Avengers: Doomsday happens because Steve Rogers is in the past, in a time where he shouldn’t be. That Steve’s choice to return to the past set the events necessary to get from Avengers: Endgame to Avengers: Doomsday into play. In short, if Steve Rogers weren’t there dancing with Peggy Carter, Avengers: Doomsday wouldn’t be happening.

Nerdist Take: Steve Rogers’ Decision to Go Back to the Past in Avengers: Endgame Was an Evil Choice, and We Hope Avengers: Doomsday Makes That Clear Paramount

Why wasn’t Thor allowed to go back in time to spend more time with his mother? Why couldn’t any of the other heroes choose what places in time they wanted to inhabit? Why is it that if Steve Rogers’ Avengers: Endgame decision was taken out of context, it would probably be seen as the story of a villain, not a hero? Well, that’s all because Steve Rogers going back to the past to be with Peggy Carter was always an evil set of decisions, ones that should obviously have consequences, but the fallout of which was handwaved away in order to accommodate the optics of an idea that didn’t really make much sense.

I’m not saying I’m holding out much hope here, but I think it makes perfect sense that Steve Rogers’ decision to go back in time in Avengers: Endgame messed up time enough to cause Avengers: Doomsday. You can’t just be hopping around through time willy-nilly because you want to. That’s literally always the point.

Quick Take

• Kraft Heinz Canada has partnered with Solly’s Craft Soda for KD x Solly’s Cream Soda, a sweet carbonated beverage with a savory cheesy touch.
• The official image for KD x Solly’s Cream Soda makes it look like cheese water.
• This is the type of product we’d expect from Kraft in America, so we’re already afraid of what this will lead to in the U.S.

I long ago accepted the fact Kraft can—and will—add any flavor it wants into its mac and cheese. What I merely assumed was that these bizarre concoctions were a uniquely American thing. Clearly, I lack imagination, because our treasured friends to the north have brewed up something that is much, much stranger. Kraft Heinz Canada has partnered with Solly’s Craft Soda for KD x Solly’s Cream Soda. This Mac and Cheese soda is a sweet beverage with a savory, cheesy touch that looks like cheese water.

Kraft Heinz Canada/Solly’s Craft Soda

Kraft Dinner says it is giving fans “a new way to satisfy their KD cravings,” and they are not kidding. They’ve teamed with Solly’s Craft Soda for a “beverage that combines the taste of cream soda with a hint of KD’s iconic cheesiness.” That is a real quote from the very real press release for this very real limited-time product. KD x Solly’s Cream Soda is “a sweet and savoury carbonated drink that pairs nostalgic cream soda with a hint of KD’s familiar cheesy flavour.”

As far as flavours go, we’re not sure how much we would like to savour this Mac and Cheese soda. I mean, obviously I would. And in some ways I must. But I’m also a huge food weirdo who gets paid to eat and drink absurd foods. So I am exactly the target audience for this cheesy soda. Minus the part where I live in the United States and this is a Canadian product.

Kraft Heinz Canada/Solly’s Craft Soda

Canadians of all stripes—whether they really love either cheese, enjoy ridiculous food crossovers, or if they have lost a wager—can now grab this cheesy cream soda at Amazon for a whole new way to enjoy Kraft Mac and Cheese. It will arrive at participating retailers like Walmart early next month “while quantities last.” Solly’s website list a single can for $2.95 CAD.

If this sells out, like we’re sure it will, I don’t even want to know what kind of Kraft mac and cheese soda we’re going to get in America.

Quick Take

• Doctor Who will head to the theaters this year for David Tennant’s 20th anniversary for one night only.
• Doctor Who: The Satan Pit Extended Cut will bring a feature-length, extra-long version of arguably the Tenth Doctor’s scariest adventure.
• Nerdist take: If you’re going to see any episodes as a celebration of David Tennant’s iteration of Doctor Who, this would be them.

Right now, Doctor Who is in a precarious, or at least uncertain, place. The series hasn’t gone without a production team since the 15-year break between 1989 and 2005. Right now, the BBC has sent Doctor Who out for competitive tender, so how will they choose to celebrate the upcoming 63rd anniversary? Why, by instead celebrating 20 years of arguably the most popular Doctor this side of Tom Baker. David Tennant, the 10th Doctor, on the big screen from BBC Studios, Fathom Entertainment, and CinemaLive. And not just his era, but among the best stories in which he appears.

BBC

In news we saw on Polygon, for one night only, Whovians will get a chance to see Doctor Who: The Satan Pit Extended Cut. This is, of course, an extended, feature-length cut of the two-part story, “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit,” among the very best episodes of the Tenth Doctor tenure. The story sees the Doctor and Rose (Billie Piper) end up in the far future on an Earth outpost on a planet perched precariously on the edge of a black hole without falling in. The crew digs deeper into the planet to get a better reason for why, unknowingly unleashing ancient evil forces, perhaps from the dawn of time, which point to our very conception of the Devil himself.

These episodes whip ass, I have to say. These are easily top five Tenth Doctor episodes. They’re scary, weird, supremely thoughtful, and they introduced the Ood, one of the modern era’s more iconic aliens. This two-parter came from Tennant’s first season on the show, 20 years ago, of course, and remain a high-water mark for two-parters. If you’re going to see any episodes as a celebration of David Tennant’s iteration of Doctor Who, this would be them.

• Dungeon Masters, Wizards of the Coast’s official actual play series, is back with a campaign set in World of Warcraft‘s Azeroth.
• The game is led by Dungeon Master Jasmine Bhullar, with five actors joining her as players.
• Nerdist’s Take: The first two episodes already promise that this will be an exciting and likely hilarious campaign to watch, while also demonstrating how one might run their own game using the World of Warcraft Gameplay Expansion.

On September 23rd, Wizards of the Coast’s official actual play series, Dungeon Masters, returned with a new campaign set in the universe of World of Warcraft. Using the D&D World of Warcraft Gameplay Expansion book, veteran DM Jasmine Bhullar (DesiQuest, Critical Role) is guiding five actors/experienced D&D players through Azeroth. These, of course, include Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Neil Newbon, Theo Solomon, and Devora Wilde. Our heroes are part of a small guild called “Afterlife.” And the morning our story begins, they were robbed blind by a disgruntled member, leaving their guild treasury completely empty. Afterlife seeks to not only make their money back and increase their status within the Horde, but to eventually be sent to Northrend to be on the frontline of the war against Lich King Arthas Menethil.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT: FOREVER Brings the Classic Era to a New Level

Things are off to a fun start with the first two episodes of Dungeon Masters‘ third season. Who is joining the series for this excellent mashup of Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft? Let’s do a quick rundown on the players and their characters—

• Devora Wilde: One of three Baldur’s Gate 3 alums, Dev is the voice of Lae’zel. Her character is Jandi, a grouchy Troll Balance Druid.
• Neil Newbon: You know him as the voice of Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3, but in this game of Dungeons & Dragons, he’s taken up the mantle of Greave, a surly and stiff Forsaken, or World of Warcraft‘s intelligent undead… Which is a bit similar, if you think about it. He’s an Oath of the Ebon Blade Death Knight. It’s like World of Warcraft was MADE to be in the Dungeons & Dragons world.
• Theo Solomon: He’s Wyll in Baldur’s Gate 3, and now he’s orc-in-charge Rokkar, a Beastmaster Hunter. He’s also got a pet ostrich named Angela. Okay, not literally an ostrich—technically Angela is a Tallstrider, but Tallstriders look a hell of a lot like ostriches, just sayin’.
• Mayanna Berrin: Returning Dungeon Masters player Mayanna Berrin is Talonia, a Blood Elf Discipline Priest.
• Christian Navarro: Best known for his role as Tony Padilla in 13 Reasons Why, Christian is playing a character that I’m positive will become a fan-favorite: Mistik, a Goblin Assassin Rogue who speaks primarily in the third person. The voice Christian does for him gets a 10/10 for me, folks.

Dungeon Masters

This group of players already has great chemistry, and seeing the party dynamic being built in real-time is fantastic. Rounding out the group is DM Jasmine Bhullar’s character, a Tauren (she’s a cow, like, a bipedal cow basically) healer named Gladiola. Speaking of excellent voices, Jasmine’s voice for Gladiola had me laughing my ass off from the start.

While the adventure is just beginning, there’s no telling where it might lead. Hopefully Northrend, but in World of Warcraft and Dungeons & Dragons both, anything is possible. I’ll definitely be tuning in for the next episode!

Quick Take

• New Marvel X-Men ’92: Incursions comic pits the mutants from X-Men: The Animated Series vs. their younger counterparts from X-Men: Evolution.
• This one-shot is one of several that Marvel is putting out this winter, taking us back to the multiversal incursions that preceded the 2015 Secret Wars events.
• It seems that the Rogue from both universes will be a central character.
• Nerdist’s take: Since the ’90s animated X-Men’s Jean Grey has Phoenix potential, we have a feeling that her team will wipe the floor with the X-Men: Evolution kids.

Avengers: Doomsday’s plot centers on the concept of multiversal incursions, where one reality collides with another, potentially wiping out both. However, this concept originated in the pages of Avengers, in the storyline “Time Runs Out.” This story preceded Marvel’s 2015 Secret Wars event comic. Recently, Marvel announced a return to the era of incursions for a new set of one-shots. One of them was X-Men ’92: Incursions, but no details were given about the context. Now, Marvel has announced (via IGN) that this series will feature the ’90s classic X-Men: The Animated Series team battling the 2000s-era mutants of X-Men: Evolution.

Here’s the official solicitation for issue #1 of X-Men ’92: Incursions, along with cover art:

X-Men ’92: Incursions #1 Marvel Comics

X-Men ‘92 Vs. X-Men: Evolution! The X-Men of the 90’s must save their world! But can they do so when it means destroying another world in the process? Especially one filled with younger versions of themselves who still have hope for Xavier’s dream?

Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost, known for their work on X-Force, and several animated Marvel projects, are writing this one-shot. It features art by Salva Espin. The cover shows X-Men: The Animated Series‘ sassy Southern belle version of Rogue front and center, with the variant cover putting the “goth Rogue” from Evolution in her place. So it looks like she’ll be our main character for this story. Marvel also released further details on the previously announced Incursions one-shots, which include Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers.

Marvel Comics

There’s a lot of potential for fun interactions here, as this story will mainly feature teenage versions of most of the characters fighting their older selves. Only Wolverine and Storm were adult heroes in X-Men: Evolution. We’re actually looking forward to Jubilee vs. Kitty Pryde the most, as Kitty never once appeared in the ’90s cartoon. As incursions are designed to play out, one universe must die so that the other can live. But this might also be a battle of the generations, as Millennial favorite X-Men: TAS must battle Gen-Z favorite Evolution to the death. We’re not taking sides, but only one version of these X-Men has a Jean Grey who tapped into her Phoenix potential. You do the math. These 21st-century kids don’t have a prayer.
