Marvel returned to Hall H, and Adam breaks it down live. Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider, Black Panther 3 dated for December 2028 with a new T'Challa, and the Avengers assembling for Doomsday, but the real story is what the panel signals. Why the missing X-Men reveal is strategic, what Kevin Feige means when he says the MCU is now "streamlined," and why the post-Secret Wars slate points to a grounded, paranormal soft reboot that backseats the cosmic. Plus the case that Marvel should have taken this breather years ago.

The first full Avengers: Doomsday trailer finally dropped, and Adam argues the timing says more than the footage. Why Marvel sat on a strong trailer until the last possible moment, what that hesitation says about the December collision with Dune: Part Three, and why "Dunesday" is not the Barbenheimer repeat everyone's calling it. Plus the real question hanging over the film: were Infinity War and Endgame the Russos, or were they Markus and McFeely? And with the slate beyond Secret Wars nearly empty, what does Comic-Con need to deliver this weekend?

Five movies, the most June had to offer all year, ranked worst to best for a spot in the best-of-the-year tournament. Adam runs them down: a film that's ashamed of itself to an ending that's so deflating the movie is completely forgotten. Which one takes the automatic bid, and where the halfway-point board stands.

Please note we repeatedly say that The Devil Wears Prada 2 won the automatic bid from May, this is inaccurate. The correct winner was The Mandalorian and Grogu.
