It looks like Marvel Studios may have its next Special Presentation set. Months after Werewolf by Night debuted on Disney+, it's now said a special starring Sacha Baron Cohen's Mephisto is actively filming. The latest comes from Above the Line's Jeff Sneider, who said on his latest episode of The Hot Mic the special is now filming on the set of another MCU project in the midst of principal photography.
"They told me there's a Mephisto special filming on the set of Agatha: House of Harkness," Sneider said on the podcast. "It sounds like they may be doing his very own special."
Though Marvel still has yet to confirm the special, the timeline of production falls perfectly in line with what we've seen from the studio in the past. This time last year, Marvel started rolling cameras on Werewolf by Night, filming the one-shot in just under a month.

t looks like the fan-favorite run of Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto is nearing its endpoint. The celebrated writer (and winner of ComicBook.com's 2022 Golden Issue Award for Best Writer) and artist launched a new volume of Daredevil back in February 2019, and the past three years have seen the Devil of Hell's Kitchen put through the wringer. Readers have seen Wilson Fisk's rise and fall as Mayor of New York City, an evolution in Daredevil and Elektra's relationship, the Devil's Reign event, and much more. Now, we have an idea of when the years-long story will reach its conclusion.
Chip Zdarsky shared an image of Daredevil's grey, ash-ridden mask, with the phrase, "This Is What God Has Done" found at the top. The bottom states, "The Saga Ends August 2023." No other information was provided, but fans should expect a resolution to some of the ongoing storylines, including the feud between Daredevil's Fist versus The Punisher and The Hand, and Daredevil and Elektra's marriage.

The Incredible Hulk is making a comeback at Marvel Comics. A new creative team is coming together to guide Hulk's latest adventure, and the series is going back to its monster-fueled roots. The latest run of Hulk by Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley introduced all-new versions of the Jade Giant, such as Starship Hulk and Titan. Incredible Hulk will see a return of horror themes, last seen in Al Ewing and Joe Bennett's fan-favorite Immortal Hulk. Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Alien, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection) and Marvel's Stormbreakers artist Nic Klein (Thor) are teaming up for The Incredible Hulk, launching on June 17th.
"The significance that we're finally bringing back the classic title Incredible Hulk is not lost on me. It's a tremendous honor, and Nic and I have the clearest possible vision for what we want to do with this story," Johnson explained. "Nic Klein is a genius, and working with him is pushing me to write a story worthy of his very best."
"Phillip and I put a big serving of monsters, a bit of eldritch gods, a good dash of suspense, and some cool new characters into the cauldron," Klein added. "We're trying to serve up a Hulk the readers haven't seen before. And if they like it half as much as I'm enjoying drawing it, they're gonna love it."
"The work that Al, Joe and the rest did with Immortal Hulk was so impactful and spoke so clearly to me personally, it was impossible to come up with an idea that wasn't inspired by it," Johnson continued. "We're getting back to Stan Lee's Frankenstein/Jekyll & Hyde inspirations for the character, and giving readers a proper monster book in the best, truest Hulk tradition. If you loved Immortal Hulk, if you love ghost stories, if you love Marvel monsters, if you loved old school 'adventure of the month' stories from books like Marvel Team-Up, and if you want the best, most timeless Hulk art you've ever seen, you DO NOT want to miss this return of Incredible Hulk."
