Superhero Bits: The Final Doctor Strange 2 Trailer, Celebrate 20 Years Of Spider-Man Movies & More

(Superhero Bits is a collection of stories, updates, and videos about anything and everything inspired by the comics of Marvel, DC, and more. For comic book movies, TV shows, merchandise, events, and whatever catches our eye, this is the place to find anything that falls through the cracks.)

In this edition of Superhero Bits:

• The final "Doctor Stange in the Multiverse of Madness" trailer.

• 2023 may be the biggest year ever for Marvel movies.

• Celebrate 20 years of "Spider-Man" with a retrospective video.

• "Lucifer" is heading back to TV.

• All that and more!

"Lucifer" is a show that serves as a prime example of something that found new life on streaming. Netflix picked up the DC series after it was canceled by Fox after three seasons and, ultimately, it went on to run for six seasons total thanks to a massive streaming audience. But those first three seasons don't exclusively belong to Netflix, and as a result, TNT has picked up the rights to the show and it will now be airing on the cable network, as indicated by the above tweet. This could expose an entirely new audience to the show and, in the end, if those viewers want more of this procedural featuring Tom Ellis as Lucifer, the powerful fallen angel, they will have to turn to Netflix for it.

Marvel is notorious for trying to keep its movies and TV shows secretive. That having been said, quite a bit seemed to be revealed in the "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" trailers, particularly in more recent ones. Turns out that Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige agrees with that sentiment. Speaking with The Direct, Feige recently said the following:

"There's been too much in the trailers, I don't want to talk about anything else. But I will say, Sam has made this movie to be experienced on as big a screen as possible, and it's even the first one in a long time that 3D was really taken into account too, because the first Doctor Strange film I think was our best film ever in 3D, and this one now will be right alongside that."

It's interesting that Feige seems to think this, even though he undoubtedly has a lot of say over these things. But whatever puts meat in seats. And, for what it's worth, a whole lot of meat is going to end up in seats to see this movie this weekend.

As noticed by the folks at Screen Rant, 2023 is currently poised to be a record-breaking year for Marvel at the movies. Seven — count 'em, seven! — Marvel movies are currently set to arrive in theaters next year. Four of these are directly connected to the MCU with "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," "The Marvels," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," and a mystery film with a release date locked down for November 2, 2023. Sony also has three Marvel films on deck with "Kraven the Hunter," "Madame Web," and "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." The previous record for Marvel was six movies in 2018. So, if nothing changes, a record will be broken.

Lastly, the time is finally upon us, Marvel fans, as "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is making its way to theaters all across the world tonight. As one final little marketing push, Marvel has released another new trailer for the film. Though those who are concerned about spoilers probably shouldn't be too concerned as this trailer largely focuses on the journey these characters have been through within the MCU leading up to this film, particularly Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange and Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff. Yes, there is a bit of new footage, but nothing too spoiler-y. If nothing else, it serves as a reminder that, after nearly six years, Doctor Strange is finally getting his much-deserved solo sequel. Check the trailer out for yourself above.
