Titans
As season three of the superhero show debuts in the US, we find out what's in store from showrunner Greg Walker and a veritable flock of former/future Robins: Brenton Thwaites (Nightwing), Curran Walters (Red Hood) and Jay Lycurgo (Tim Drake).
What If…?
The latest TV outing for the MCU is this animated show inspired by the comic which explored divergent realities where, say, Spider-Man joined the Fantastic Four, or Iron Man's suit was made entirely of ham. Producers Brad Winderbaum and Ryan Meinerding and writer AC Bradley tell us more.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
If you know nowt about the hero of the first Asian-led MCU movie, you're forgiven – screenwriter Dave Callaham hadn't heard of him either! He tells us how he went about reinventing one of Marvel's more obscure characters.
Candyman
Remake? Reboot? Reimagining? Whatever you want to call it, the man in the mirror is back, and he hasn't changed his ways. We quiz director Nia DaCosta and star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II about reviving the African-American bogeyman, as well as Tony Todd, the original hook-handed bee enthusiast.
Free Guy
A videogame non-player character becomes self-aware in Ryan Reynolds's new movie. Director Shawn Levy, Reynolds and two of his co-stars reveal more. Hey, if this was all just a videogame reality I wouldn't be sitting here typing this, right? Right? Guys?
Star Trek: Lower Decks
The crew of the USS Cerritos are back this week (from 13 August on Amazon Prime in the UK). We open a channel with showrunner Mike McMahan to discuss season two of the animated comedy.
And that's not all, features-wise. We also look at new horror film The Night House; chat with The Suicide Squad's David Dastmalchian; profile cyberpunk pioneer Pat Cadigan; and get SF novelist Alastair Reynolds to fill out our author questionnaire.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: Stephen King show Chapelwaite, Peter Pan riff Wendy, sci-fi noir Reminiscence, Jed Mercurio's new graphic novel Sleeper, the Snake Eyes movie, and new Doctor Who and Star Trek: The Next Generation comics.
