The new Superman movie is officially a hit, and it seems the future of the new DC Cinematic Universe is very much in motion. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s also been a while since a superhero film franchise relaunch felt like it was actually going to stick. Not only will the story of the new DCU continue in Peacemaker Season 2 on August 21, but also with Lanterns sometime in early 2026.

And yet, the most direct sequel to the new Superman is the 2026 film Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock in the title role. We met this version of Kara Zor-El during the coda of the new Superman and learned that, yes, as Superman’s cousin, she is a party girl and the actual owner of Krypto the Superdog. However, one big change to the Superman mythos actually creates a confusing bit of continuity for the upcoming Supergirl movie. In short, just how limited is Clark’s knowledge of Kryptonian culture? And to what extent does Supergirl share in his ignorance?

Like many, my mornings started with bland grocery store coffee. Then Trade changed everything by connecting me with a curated selection of roasts perfectly matched to my tastes, crafted by passionate small-batch roasters. I took a quick quiz, and now I enjoy unique, freshly roasted coffees delivered straight to my door. Not only do they taste better than what I was buying before, but supporting local artisans makes me feel great about the money I’m spending on coffee each week. Plus, Trade is offering Inverse Daily readers an exclusive 50% off your first month subscription when you sign up today. Trust us, you deserve the upgrade. Our only regret—not finding them sooner!

One of my favorite sci-fi microgenres ever is “people get trapped in a home and have to figure their way out.” It can be played for eeriness like in Vivarium, for gore like in pretty much all the Saw movies, or for a sci-fi slasher like Await Further Instrucions. Trapping any people in their homes is an instant way to build suspense and terror, but if you add an otherworldly force on the outside, things get a lot more interesting.

Netflix is the latest streamer to take on this premise with Brick, written and directed by Philip Koch and starring Matthias Schweighöfer, a close collaborator with Zack Snyder from Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves. With a dwindling-party plot and a mystery full of clues, it’s far more enjoyable than its often paint-by-numbers exposition and direction.
