Power Teaser

Amazon's upcoming all-girls-can-shoot-electricity series The Power, now has its first teaser and also a firm premiere date of March 31.

A skilled marketing team can make anything look good so we don't want to get too excited but this one gives us a tingle.

Powerful March

Amazon have set a launch window for their upcoming sci-fi drama The Power, which stars Australia's own Toni Collette as Mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez.

Since Toni only joined in an August main role recasting, that's impressively swift.

Picard S3 Trailer

Curiously coming to us through Comicbook.com rather than Paramount or Star Trek accounts we have the trailer for Star Trek: Picard's third and final season.

It's action packed and a far cry from the old man (Picard) moping about a vineyard promo which launched this series to cries of what-the-f is this?

Invincible S2 Teaser

Amazon have released an unconventional teaser for unconventional animated superhero series Invincible.

Rather than the standard montage or scene from the upcoming season it's two characters chatting in a diner with talk eventually turning to the release date which they reveal to be late 2023.

Stargate Stalled

Last month we commented on Amazon's announcement of a live-action series adaptation of the fantasy God of War games. Focusing on how that potentially relates to a Stargate revival.

Our view had been optimistic but YouTuber SCI-TREK claims that efforts have stalled again, this time on Amazon's decision to shunt it to MGM+.

Cavill Jumps Ship

While Henry Cavill's public response to new DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran dumping him as Superman after his recent return to the role and leaving the title role in Netflix's The Witcher was cordial and open to being recast in the DC universe, he has now joined an Amazon series adaptation of Warhammer 40K.

Colour us not surprised.

Stargate Chat

Fan site Gateworld have published a video chat with Jenny Stiven of Clio Consulting about the current state of Stargate at Amazon.

Not much is clear other than Brad Wright's pilot being off the table. Amazon are very keen to make something of the franchise but there are three different plans under consideration.

A Safe Space

Amazon's singular supehero series The Boys certainly includes some very dark elements but even when the gore is flying, spinning, whizzing through the air and or dripping from every surface, the tone is more often comedic than grim.

Spinoff Gen V showrunners Michelle Fazekas and Tara Butters also have a history of genre dramas with a healthy comedic sheen, so it's surprising that our first look at their new series is all bloody and terrifying.

Mass Effect Love

Violet McVinne, A former cinematic designer for Bioware, has tweeted video footage of a private joke type additional ending to action roleplaying game Mass Effect 3.

It's a little bit romantic. Player character Sheppard makes out with bad guy the Illusive Man.

Prime Silk

If The Boys and Invincible aren't enough to satisfy your superhero itch on Prime Video, Sony have struck a deal with Amazon to develop series based on Marvel characters in their stable of over 900 characters.

The first will be a Spider-Man spinoff Silk: Spider Society with The Walking Dead's Angela Kang as showrunner.
