Avengers Doomsday Is Being Rushed?! Kathleen Kennedy Actually Leavinng?! Daredevil Born Again Reactions, Andor Season 2 Is Dumped, And A Plethora Of DCU Updates. Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau dive into the latest chaos from the worlds of Marvel, Star Wars, and DC Studios. The first Daredevil: Born Again early reactions are in, and they’re surprisingly phenomenal—but is CGI holding the show back? The Russo Brothers finally break their silence on Avengers: Doomsday, but did they actually say anything meaningful? Meanwhile, Kathleen Kennedy is officially leaving Lucasfilm—this time, it might actually be happening, and we break down what it means for the future of Star Wars. Speaking of Star Wars, Andor Season 2 has a confirmed release date, but fans are furious over Disney’s bizarre release strategy. Over at Marvel, Jon Bernthal is returning as Frank Castle, but rather than a Punisher series, we’re getting a one-off special—is this a smart move or a missed opportunity? Then there’s James Gunn’s DCU Updates—is the reboot already in trouble, or does Gunn actually have a plan? Plus, Timothée Chalamet’s recent speech has the internet divided, and we weigh in on whether he’s a Hollywood visionary or just overhyping himself. This episode is stacked with news, analysis, and unfiltered reactions, so let’s get into it! #Marvel #MCU #daredevilbornagain #daredevil #BornAgain #Avengers #Doomsday #RussoBrothers #StarWars #Lucasfilm #KathleenKennedy #Andor #DCU #JamesGunn #Superman #ThePunisher #JonBernthal #MarvelStudios #TimotheeChalamet #ComicBookMovies #Reaction #Reacting #MovieNews #GeekCulture #batman #thebatman #thebatmanpart2 0:00 What’s On The Agenda? 1:45 Gene Hackman, Michelle Trachtenberg, & Robert Orci Pass 4:08 Daredevil Born Again Reactions Are INCREDIBLE 8:15 Andor Season 2 Release Schedule Is Disappointing 13:18 Kathleen Kennedy Is Actually Leaving Lucasfilm? 21:25 The Punisher Jon Bernthal Disney Plus SPECIAL 31:14 Huel 32:55 Avengers Doomsday & The Russo Bros 43:38 Life Rant 53:36 A LOT Of DC Updates… 1:13:19 Timothée Chalamet SAG Speech 1:25:10 Post Credit Scene Follow Coy Jandreau: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreau Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoyJandreau Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

I recall hearing mentioned that Disney chose to release ANDOR Season 2 in weekly 3-episode arcs, in order to be eligible for this year’s Emmy Awards season. Eligibility for which, means that the entire season must air or complete streaming before (I think) May 29th or 31st, 2025. Disney wants the show to be fresh in Emmy voter’s minds THIS year, instead of getting lost in the crowd waiting for next year’s Emmys.

I gotta drop a postive and real comment for you guys. I dont live in the US, so comics or comic related products are not that common in my side of the world. To buy a comic book, the nearest comic book store is a 45 mins drive. The drive is not what Im complaining about, its the lack of a community. Finding Youtubers like you guys, has changed my life SO MUCH! Firstly, you guys validate my passion and interest. A grown 30 year old something talking about comics and comic related content is not strange. Its amazing! Not all comics are for kids anyways. Secondly, even though Im not conversing with you guys directly, Im glad that I can have 'conversations' about the comic content, even if Im just sliding a comment or just watch your videos everyday. Somebody on Reel Rejects has the same thought as me, so I feel 'present' in the conversation😂😂 Lastly, I may not comment or reply to other Reject Nation's comments all the time- BUT I have 1.31 million nerd besties around the world!!!!! Talk about not feeling alone and finding a community!!! And best part of it all, the number of nerd besties are going to continue to grow!! So THANK YOU GUYS!!! You may have started just because you wanted to just talk about the content, but you've actually done so much more than that! Thank you all for being you and being amazing!!! Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦💜💜

I hope you all understand how ESSENTIAL your voices are in this “movie news” space. In a realm of toxic behavior and rage bait, your conversations are so refreshing and nuanced. Thank you so much.

I woke up at 6:30 am on a Saturday morning, smoked a bowl, and Im sitting here watching while I make my grocery list. I just want to say, y'all are my favorite trio on the internet. John is so wholesome. I love Greg's sense of humor. I admire Coy's brain. He speaks so fast but his thoughts are always well put together and well spoken. You are all very insightful and the chemistry between you is so much fun!
