Weekend Warmup for Jan 8-11

Superhero movies are important reflections of our cultural moment. In 2026 we have some big hitters coming from Marvel and DC, and a potential power shift in super cinematic glory. Local film reviewer Tim Hall walks us through DC’s renewal, previews the big movie Marvel is saving for the holidays, and gives a sneak peek at the streaming show you won’t want to miss–even if you think you don’t like comic books.

Where’s your favorite place to meet up around arts and culture in the region? Drop us a line at meetmehere@kuow.org.
