Marvel unveils pictures for Phase Two

By Drew Prindle Published April 3, 2013

Almost a year after phase one culminated with the successful production of The Avengers, Marvel has released a swath of new photos revealing some of their plans for Phase Two. Fans who bought the new “Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled Blu-ray box set” were directed to BattleofNewYork.net, where they were given exclusive access to a five-minute preview of Phase Two, along with a look behind the scenes and a treasure trove of concept images.

The shots are a mixture of live-action photos taken from movies currently in production and concept art for films that haven’t yet started principal photography. Among them are a handful of stills taken from the set of Thor: The Dark World, as well as a bunch of concept drawings for the upcoming films Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. Also included are a few shots from the test footage Edgar Wright created for his take on Ant Man, a film that isn’t slated for release until 2015 when Phase Three kicks off.

House of the Dragon season 3 trailer is here, and it is every bit as brutal as we hoped

After two seasons, the Dance of the Dragons looks brutal and bloody

Season 2 of House of the Dragon was a slow-motion tragedy. Seasons 1 and 2 were packed with misunderstandings, power plays, and a civil war that kept threatening to explode but never quite did.

Eight episodes of carefully arranged chess pieces, and by the time the finale arrived, the most dramatic thing that happened was Alicent sneaking off to Dragonstone to strike a secret deal with Rhaenyra to put an end to the Targaryen civil war.

Yellowstone Season 6 isn’t happening — here’s what’s replacing it

The Dutton family will be back

The cast of Yellowstone.

Yellowstone has been a breakout hit for the Paramount Network and remains one of the most-watched shows on television, consistently driving massive viewership and spawning an entire franchise of spin-offs. So when the fifth season wrapped up in 2024, expectations around Yellowstone Season 6 were immediate. Given the show’s popularity, its expanding universe, and multiple unresolved storylines, a continuation felt less like a possibility and more like the obvious next step.
However, Yellowstone Season 6 is not happening—at least not in the way fans originally expected. Yellowstone officially concluded with Season 5, and there has been no confirmation of a traditional sixth season. Instead, what was once expected to be Season 6 has effectively been reworked into a series of spin-offs that continue the story in a different format.
This shift is at the center of ongoing confusion around the future of Yellowstone. Early reports and industry speculation suggested that the show would continue with key characters, particularly Beth and Rip, leading into another season. But as production challenges mounted and key cast changes—most notably the exit of Kevin Costner—reshaped the direction of the series, those plans evolved into a broader franchise strategy.
As a result, Yellowstone Season 6 has effectively been replaced by new shows like Dutton Ranch, which carry forward major storylines without being labeled as a direct continuation. For viewers searching for answers, the key thing to understand is simple: the story isn’t over, but the format has changed.

Is Yellowstone season 6 still happening?

All three are on HBO Max, criminally underrated, and at least one of them will stick with you long after the credits roll.
