Avengers: Doomsday has reportedly already topped $50 MILLION in ticket pre-sales! Marvel Studios' next massive Avengers movie is building enormous momentum well before its theatrical debut, but just how big could this movie actually become?
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss the early Avengers: Doomsday box office numbers, whether the film could challenge some of the biggest opening weekends of all time, and just how much anticipation there is to see Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom alongside the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four.
Could Doomsday potentially reach the heights of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame? And with Avengers: Secret Wars still to come, is Marvel about to recapture the event-movie excitement of the Infinity Saga?
Over at DC, we've got our first looks from The People vs. Gorilla Grodd. New set videos show a surprisingly dapper Gorilla Grodd singing, along with a first look at Jimmy Olsen. Just how strange is this DC Studios series going to get, and could its completely different tone help expand James Gunn's DCU?
The biggest question today is how massive Avengers: Doomsday can become. Crossing $50 million in early ticket sales would be another major indication that audiences are ready for Marvel's next Avengers event. With Doctor Doom, the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men all involved, Doomsday has the ingredients for one of Marvel Studios' biggest movies ever.
If you're a fan of Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr., X-Men, Mister Sinister, Adam Driver, Gorilla Grodd, The Penguin, The Batman Part II, Marvel Studios, or DC Studios, this episode is for you!

Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot script is reportedly getting some major praise, and one insider has described the upcoming MCU movie as Batman v Superman meets The Breakfast Club. What exactly does THAT mean for Marvel's new take on the X-Men?
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest X-Men reboot rumors, what this surprising comparison could tell us about the tone and story, and whether Marvel Studios is finally ready to deliver a completely different kind of mutant movie.
With a new generation of X-Men preparing to enter the MCU, expectations are incredibly high. Could the Breakfast Club comparison point toward a character-driven story focused on the relationships between young mutants, while the Batman v Superman comparison suggests a much larger conflict happening around them? And after decades of Fox X-Men movies, what does Marvel need to do to make its reboot feel fresh?
We also have a major Avengers: Doomsday release date update. The next Avengers movie appears to have secured an earlier release date, but has Marvel moved the film to avoid going head-to-head with Dune: Part Three? We discuss the potential box office battle and whether moving Doomsday gives both massive movies more room to dominate.
Plus, Maisie Williams is finally addressing rumors about returning to the world of Game of Thrones for an Arya Stark spinoff series. Could HBO actually bring Arya back for another adventure in Westeros?
And Nintendo has revealed the logo for the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie, with Shigeru Miyamoto teasing the story and meaning behind the film's title. What can we expect from Link and Zelda's jump to the big screen?
Today's biggest discussion is all about Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot. Calling the movie a combination of Batman v Superman and The Breakfast Club certainly raises some eyebrows, but could that combination actually be perfect for the X-Men?
The franchise has always balanced huge superhero conflicts with stories about outsiders trying to find their place in the world. If Marvel can combine that scale with a strong character-driven story, the MCU's X-Men could feel very different from the previous movies.
We're also discussing the potentially huge Avengers: Doomsday vs. Dune: Part Three box office situation, the possibility of Maisie Williams returning as Arya Stark, and the latest developments surrounding Nintendo's Legend of Zelda movie.
If you're a fan of X-Men, Marvel Studios, MCU, Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Dune Part Three, Game of Thrones, Arya Stark, Maisie Williams, The Legend of Zelda, or the latest movie and television news, this episode is for you!

Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot may be moving forward without two of the franchise's most popular mutants! A new report claims Magneto and Gambit will NOT appear in the upcoming MCU X-Men movie, raising some major questions about Marvel's plans for its new mutant era.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss why Marvel might choose to leave Magneto and Gambit out of the first X-Men movie, whether that's actually the right decision, and which characters could take their place on the team.
Marvel has already started assembling its new generation of mutants with Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue and Storm, while Mister Sinister and Emma Frost are expected to play major roles. With Magneto reportedly sitting this one out — and Wolverine also expected to be absent — could Marvel be deliberately trying to give audiences an X-Men story completely different from the Fox movies?
And what does no Gambit mean for Rogue? Could Marvel be saving that relationship for a sequel or another MCU project?
Plus, new Rogue actress Inde Navarrette is already lining up her next major project. Following her X-Men casting, Navarrette has joined the upcoming sci-fi movie The Waffle House Index from Apple Studios and Plan B.
We also discuss the first reactions to Practical Magic 2. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are finally back together for the long-awaited sequel, but the initial social media response appears decidedly mixed. Can nostalgia and the original movie's cult following still turn Practical Magic 2 into a theatrical hit?
The big question today is whether Marvel Studios is making the right call by launching its X-Men franchise without Magneto and Gambit. Magneto has dominated many previous X-Men movies, so giving the character a break could allow Marvel to focus on villains we haven't seen nearly as much on the big screen. But leaving Gambit out when Rogue is already part of the team could be a much more controversial decision.
We break down Marvel's potential strategy, who could still join the team, and how the MCU can make its version of the X-Men feel different from everything that's come before.
If you're a fan of X-Men, Magneto, Gambit, Rogue, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Professor X, Marvel Studios, MCU, Practical Magic 2, Sandra Bullock, or Nicole Kidman, this episode is for you!

Avengers: Doomsday started filming with an unfinished script?! The Russo Brothers are opening up about the massive challenge of bringing Marvel Studios' next Avengers movie together, including why production began before the screenplay was completely finished. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss whether this should actually concern MCU fans or if the Russos' filmmaking process could ultimately make Doomsday better.
Joe and Anthony Russo are once again handling an enormous Marvel ensemble, this time bringing together characters from the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other corners of the MCU. The directors also address the pressure surrounding the movie and whether Avengers: Doomsday is supposed to "save" Marvel after the MCU's recent ups and downs.
Can the Russo Brothers recreate the magic of Infinity War and Endgame? How will Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom factor into everything? And can Doomsday successfully bring together this many characters while still delivering the emotional moments fans expect from an Avengers movie?
The biggest question today is whether Avengers: Doomsday beginning production without a finished script should worry Marvel fans. The Russos have successfully handled enormous MCU productions before, but Doomsday may be their biggest challenge yet. With Doctor Doom, the Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-Men all potentially colliding, the pressure is enormous.
We're breaking down what the directors actually said, whether the unfinished screenplay is a legitimate red flag, and why the Russos believe their evolving approach to the script can actually help the movie.
If you're a fan of Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr., Russo Brothers, Avengers: Secret Wars, X-Men, Fantastic Four or the latest movie and television news, this episode is for you!
