2026 is a great time for Spider-Man fans, who are eagerly awaiting the premiere of the first Spider-Man movie in five years, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film will serve as a direct follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home (co-starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield), and it will follow Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) after everyone has forgotten who he is, leaving him to rely on being Spider-Man to connect him to the old world. Spider-Man fans were also treated to a new TV series earlier this year, Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly. The show has not officially been picked up for Season 2 yet, but the widely positive reception and viewership alludes to it receiving the chance to continue beyond Season 1.

While Peter Parker has carved out a name for himself as the Spider-Man of a generation, younger fans have found themselves flocking to Miles Morales, who was first introduced in 2011. Between his roles in the Spider-Verse movies and the Spider-Man games from Insomniac, many Spider-Man fans have found themselves more connected with Miles than Peter, despite the character not yet appearing in live-action. However, during a recent interview, Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed that Miles will eventually make his way into the MCU, saying: “I think live-action Spider-Man movies have this destiny: to add Miles [Morales] at some point after the Spider-Verse series is completed.” Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is confirmed to be the final entry in the beloved animated franchise, will be released in theaters on June 18, 2027. After Secret Wars at the end of 2027, it’s possible that the next Spider-Man movie could center around Miles, not Peter.

What Are Miles Morales’ Powers?

Miles Morales has similar powers to Peter Parker in that he has enhanced durability, strength, and agility, along with the ability to web-swing, but he also has access to more powers that are unavailable to Peter Parker. Miles has a power known as Active Camouflage, meaning he can go nearly invisible briefly, or at least invisible enough that he completely blends into his surroundings, making him almost impossible to see. He also has access to electrical abilities, including the ability to channel electricity and harness it through punches and other moves. He’s easily one of the strongest street-level heroes in Marvel.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opens in theaters on July 31.

Police Investigating After Dead Body Found In Donation Box

Officers from the Odessa Police Department responded to a report about a deceased person near the corner of East Eighth Street and Coleman Avenue on Friday, July 17, in Odessa, Texas.

According to KOSA, the officers found the dead body of an adult male inside a clothing donation box upon arrival at the location. The authorities do not yet know the cause of death, but the Odessa Police Department shared a post on Facebook noting that an investigation is underway as they await autopsy results.

“Deceased Person. On 7-17-26, the Odessa Police Department responded to a deceased person call at 8th and Coleman,” the statement reads. “Upon arrival, officers located a man deceased inside of a clothes donation box. Investigators are busy trying to identify the deceased and determine a cause of death. There are no outward signs of foul play, and an autopsy has been ordered. We will update as the investigation continues.”

On Wednesday, July 22, the man was identified as Roberto Hernandez.

Resident Nearby Noted A Foul Smell Prior To Discovery

Juan Enriquez lives near the intersection, and he said he noticed a foul smell for weeks before the grisly discovery.

At first, he thought it was a smelly garbage can due to the hot summer. However, he soon learned the source of the odor after the OPD and medical examiner arrived on the scene.

“I never knew where it came from, I just smelled it,” he said to KOSA. “But I thought it was a trash can, you know how it smells during the summertime.”

The clothing donation box was removed from the location on July 19.

“I mean really, I’ve been here for 40 years, and this is the first time we had something this close,” he said.

A Florida Man WAS Arrested After Dead Body Found In Bedroom

As previously reported by The Shade Room, a Florida man was arrested last year after his mother found a dead body in his bedroom. Robert Hendrix was taken into custody after the body of his girlfriend, Kristin Carrier, was found wrapped in a tarp.

His mother was reportedly escaping a rainstorm when she found Carrier. She called the police, and they found “blood patterns on the walls and floor” of Hendrix’s home.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office revealed that Carrier died of “multiple gunshot and stab wounds,” and he was charged with murder.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Television personality Courtney Stodden is using her social media platform to promote ending child marriage. In doing so, the 31-year-old has made several social media posts highlighting inappropriate actions she’s faced throughout her life. This includes sharing a screenshot of a previous skit featuring “Seinfeld” alum Jason Alexander in which he acted inappropriately. Now, the actor has responded.

5

Following Stodden’s post discussing the skit with Alexander, in which he repeatedly rubbed his cell phone against her breasts, the “Seinfeld” alum issued a statement to TMZ. In it, he took accountability for his actions, which occurred when she was 17. Alexander also apologized to the media personality for the indiscretion.

According to him, “Looking back at the comedy sketch in which Ms. Stodden and I participated in 2012, I completely agree that it was inappropriate and I truly regret it.”

The 66-year-old then said, “But more importantly, I am deeply sorry for any harm or distress it has caused Ms. Stodden. I offer her my sincerest apologies.”

5

Stodden took to her official Instagram account in July 2026 to recall her encounter with Alexander while filming the 2012 “Funny or Die” sketch in question. She began, “I was 17 years old in this photo. The older I get, the more impossible this is to understand.”

After that, she described what happened during the filming, saying, “During this comedy sketch, Jason Alexander repeatedly rubbed his phone across my breasts while saying there was ‘no signal’ in my head but ‘plenty of signal’ in my chest.”

She continued, “Later in the sketch, he joked that when I turned 18 he’d like to take me behind the couch and have his way with me.” Stodden went on to highlight the fact that Alexander has a writer credit for the skit on IMDb.

She continued reflecting, saying, “As an adult, that fact has become harder—not easier—for me to understand. I was a minor. I didn’t have the legal power to decide whether I wanted to participate. The contracts were signed by adults. The paycheck went to Doug. The production moved forward. I was the only child in the room. I felt so alone.”

Courtney Also Discussed How She Sees The Skit Today

5

Stodden continued, going into detail about her feelings today about the “Funny or Die” skit with Alexander. Specifically, she stated that, as an adult, she doesn’t see the inappropriate skit as being comedy. Stodden also defended herself against those who say she decided to film the video with the actor.

According to her, “Looking back now, I don’t see comedy. I see a 17-year-old girl whose body became part of an adult joke. She continued, “People still say, “You chose to be there.” Legally, I couldn’t make those decisions for myself. That’s the point. I can’t change what happened to me, but I can ask myself: How did so many adults look at a minor and decide this was acceptable?”

After that, at the end of her post, Stodden stated that the reason she’s speaking out is that “children deserve laws that protect them. They shouldn’t have to become adults before realizing the law should have protected them all along.”

5

As mentioned, Stodden has been using her social media platform to bring awareness to the bill currently proposed in California to make 18 the legal marrying age in the state. According to The Collegian, the California State Senate Judiciary Committee voted to progress the bill in July, with a 12-0 vote.

Gail Pellerin, California State Assembly member, said of the bill, “The human rights commission considers marriage under the age of 18 to be a human rights abuse. It’s long past time that we end that abuse here in California.”

Currently, minors in California can get married with the consent of one parent or guardian and an order from a judge.

Courtney Stodden Previously Spoke About Legal Underaged Marriages

5

When Stodden was 16, she married Doug Hutchinson, who was 51. They were married for nine years before their divorce was finalized in 2020. Stodden spoke out about the availability of underage marriages in the United States in 2025 during a PEOPLE interview.

She began, “I don’t want this to happen to anyone else, and it scares me.” As for why she’s highlighting the issue, Stodden explained, “We’re the hotbed for the dirty little secret, which is pedophiles marrying our children legally in the United States, so that’s why I’m speaking out.”

Stodden also reacted to her Lifetime biopic, “I Was a Child Bride: The Courtney Stodden Story.” According to her, “I’m glad I did it, but boy, it’s been hard to watch it. It’s something I’ve lived through, and it’s the PG version, it’s the TV version. A lot of scenes were cut because it was too much for TV.”

She added, “It’s the craziest story I’ve ever heard, and it’s my own.”

At 95, William Shatner has survived career highs, personal heartbreak, and decades in Hollywood.

Yet nothing prepared the legendary actor for the moment he and his youngest daughter, Melanie Shatner Gretsch, found themselves battling separate stage 4 cancer diagnoses within months of each other.

Now cancer-free, the father and daughter are using their experience to encourage others to embrace hope, resilience, and early detection.

For years, William Shatner has been known as the fearless Captain James T. Kirk, but his toughest challenge unfolded far from a television set.

The “Star Trek” icon recently revealed that both he and daughter Melanie endured separate stage 4 cancer diagnoses during one of the most difficult chapters their family has experienced.

Melanie’s ordeal began in July 2022 after she discovered a small lump beneath her breast despite receiving a clear mammogram only months earlier. Further testing confirmed HER2-positive breast cancer that had already spread to lymph nodes in her chest.

As she underwent chemotherapy, targeted therapies, a double mastectomy, and radiation, the family faced another devastating blow. In June 2023, Shatner learned he had stage 4 malignant melanoma that had spread to his lungs and brain.

Rather than allowing the diagnoses to define them, both leaned heavily on family support while continuing to look ahead.

“We’re a very together family,” William told PEOPLE. “We’re bonded by all kinds of difficulties that we’ve overcome.”

William Shatner Became His Daughter’s Biggest Source Of Strength

One of the defining moments of Melanie’s treatment came during a frightening late-night phone call.

While undergoing chemotherapy, she reached a point where fear overwhelmed her.

“I was having a moment and was hysterical,” she recalled. “I called you and said, ‘I think I’m dying.’”

Within minutes, William arrived at her home.

Melanie said her father wrapped her in what she has always called a “daddy bear hug” before reassuring her that the crisis would not define her future.

“He said, ‘This is going to be a blip in your life. You’re going to get through this, and it’ll be a memory,’” she remembered.

The encouragement became especially meaningful because William would soon face his own life-threatening diagnosis.

When doctors discovered the melanoma had already spread, the actor approached the news with characteristic optimism.

“They said, ‘You got cancer. If you came in later, you would have been dead.’ See? That’s my life,” he said. “I think the universe is taking care of me.”

Their Recovery Inspired A New Mission Beyond Hollywood

By late 2024, both William Shatner and Melanie Shatner Gretsch had no evidence of active cancer.

The experience changed how they viewed time, family, and purpose.

On July 29, the father-daughter duo will launch the weekly podcast “No Time but Now,” where they’ll speak with physicians, cancer survivors, wellness experts, and advocates about navigating life’s biggest challenges.

Among the scheduled guests are Olympic gold medalist and cancer survivor Scott Hamilton, end-of-life educator Alua Arthur, author Anita Moorjani, nutrition researcher Dr. William Li, and Ian Ward, widely known as “The King of Chemo.”

For William, the project reflects a belief that meaningful conversations can help others facing uncertainty.

“It’s easy for us in this lovely home to say, ‘Make your life meaningful.’ It’s much more difficult to be poverty-stricken and wonder how you’re going to get through it. I’ve been there,” he said. “But it’s also possible to endure that and be aware of the beauty around you.”

Melanie said surviving cancer transformed her outlook completely.

“[Overcoming cancer] changed my life. I’m not so afraid anymore, and there’s so much freedom and joy,” she said.

Modern Treatments Changed Both Of Their Outcomes

The family’s story also reflects how dramatically cancer treatment has evolved over the past two decades.

Melanie’s HER2-positive breast cancer was once associated with significantly poorer outcomes. Today, targeted HER2 therapies have helped improve survival rates for many patients, particularly when combined with surgery and systemic treatment.

Similarly, advances in immunotherapy have reshaped the outlook for advanced melanoma.

According to Dr. Omid Hamid of The Angeles Clinic and Research Institute, Shatner received a combination of immunotherapy drugs designed to activate the body’s own immune system against cancer cells.

“He was treated with a combination of two drugs,” Hamid explained, adding that the therapies “are now standard” and remain well tolerated, even among older patients.

“He’s doing phenomenally well,” the doctor added.

Melanie’s breast surgeon, Dr. Carlie Thompson, also credited newer treatments for making outcomes possible that once seemed unlikely.

She said Melanie “had angels on her side,” while emphasizing that listening to her instincts after discovering the lump ultimately helped save her life.

William Shatner Says Family Matters More Than Legacy

Despite approaching his 96th birthday, William shows little interest in slowing down.

The actor has multiple books and music projects in development while continuing to pursue new creative ventures. Still, he says the greatest reward isn’t another acting credit or industry honor.

Instead, family has become the center of his world. Weekly Sunday dinners that once included only William and his three daughters have expanded to more than 15 relatives, including grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Melanie affectionately calls her father “the Big Kahuna,” describing him as the family’s patriarch.

For William, that role now means more than any Hollywood accolade.

“Statues are torn down at some point,” he said. “‘Legacy’ is doing good deeds and helping other people. That reverberates for the end of time.”

After surviving parallel battles with stage 4 cancer, both father and daughter appear determined to spend less time looking back and more time helping others move forward one conversation, one family gathering, and one shared story at a time.

After three superb Spider-Man films, director Jon Watts stepped away from the Marvel machine ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Without a captain to steer this ship, the studio enlisted trusted filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, who cut his superhero teeth on 2021’s action-packed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Now, with less than two weeks until its theatrical release, Cretton talks with Collider’s Steven Weintraub about spinning his own web in the MCU’s ever-expanding lore.

In Brand New Day, we pick up with a Peter Parker (Tom Holland) who’s hit rock bottom since his ultimate sacrifice in Spider-Man: No Way Home. He’s still fighting crime full-time, but he no longer has the support of Stark Industries and his superpowered allies, and no one, including his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) and partner MJ (Zendaya), even remembers who Peter Parker is. This isolation not only leads to a surprising team-up with Frank Castle/Punisher (Jon Bernthal) but also to an uncontrollable mutation in his Spider-Man transformation that may prove useful against an invisible new villain — if he can learn to harness it. Brand New Day also stars Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink in her MCU debut and Avengers: Endgame’s Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk.

During his conversation with Collider’s editor-in-chief, Cretton discusses taking on Spider-Man’s fourth feature in the MCU, from editing room hurdles to the surprising lack of deleted scenes, and how they found the balance of Peter Parker’s darkest storyline yet with the fun Spider-Man fans love. The director also breaks down the innovative new Spider-Man shots in the movie, how they put audiences in the suit, and discusses bringing a character as brutal and complex as Berthal’s Frank Castle into Spider-Man’s world.

Destin Daniel Cretton on the Unique Cinematography of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

The Marvel veteran also gives a brief update on ‘Wonder Man’ Season 2.

COLLIDER: I was a huge, huge fan of Wonder Man. What’s the status of Season 2? Do you think you’ll be filming this year?

DESTIN DANIEL CRETTON: I hope so. We’ll leave it at that. [Laughs]

Okay, I’ll leave it there. One of the things I saw in the first 30 minutes of Brand New Day, and one of the things that so impressed me, was that you have shots of Spider-Man swinging through the city that have never been done before in a previous Spider-Man film, and I loved it. Can you talk about coming up with those new types of shots, like him inside the mask?

CRETTON: It was really important for us to try to find ways to remind people that Peter Parker is in that suit. So, finding a way to get the camera in a place that you could believe you are sitting inside that mask with him. We also looked quite a lot at different videos online of parkour videos and wingsuit videos, and where the camera’s placed and what types of lenses they’re using to create the most sense of vertigo, all to try to give the audience a new experience of what it feels like to really be in that suit, being that high and going that fast.

I loved those shots, and fans are going to love them. Did you speak to any of the previous Spider-Man directors before helming this to ask them what not to do?

CRETTON: The only director I spoke with was Jon Watts, who was very gracious in sharing some wise words. But I was mainly very positive about the people I was going to work with and the experience I was going to have.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Has Very Few Deleted Scenes

“It wasn’t ever a battle of trying to keep things in the movie that I wanted.”

I’m fascinated by the editing process. I think the movie’s around two hours and 24 minutes with credits. Did you ever have a longer cut of it? Did you have those battles in the editing room?

CRETTON: Yeah, that’s always a part of the process. I think the first cut of this movie was a little closer to three hours, maybe two hours and 50 minutes or something, but that’s not the length that I wanted it to be. It wasn’t ever a battle of trying to keep things in the movie that I wanted. I think the movie is the right length that it should be right now.

When you say that length, do you mean that’s an assembly cut or a cut you’re actually happy with?

CRETTON: That’s more of an assembly cut.

Totally. I don’t want people thinking there are all these deleted scenes.

CRETTON: There actually aren’t that many deleted scenes in this movie, surprisingly.

How The Punisher Fits Into ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Darker Tone

“He’s a bit older, he’s in his 20s, and he is dealing with real life.”

One of the things that really impressed me about the opening 30 minutes is that it really feels like a completely new Spider-Man movie compared to the last trilogy because of what Spider-Man is dealing with emotionally. Can you talk about balancing the emotions of what he’s going through with the fun Peter Parker Spider-Man that audiences are used to?

CRETTON: That was front of mind. We’re still doing a Spider-Man movie. We’re not doing a depressing drama. It’s a fun, fun movie. It’s exhilarating, the action’s fun, and Spider-Man is still quippy Spider-Man. But he’s a bit older, he’s in his 20s, and he is dealing with real life, and real life is hard. So, I do think the subject matter of his emotional arc does go deeper and does get quite real, but that’s the fun of movies like this, is being able to find that balance between drama and comedy. Nobody does it better than Tom Holland.

I completely agree. I was so surprised when Punisher ended up in this movie, because he’s a famously R-rated character and Spider-Man is a PG-13 universe. Can you talk about figuring out, “Where can I go with Punisher? How hard can I go?” and the philosophical debate between the two characters, because Spider-Man is not about killing, and Punisher is a whole different story.

CRETTON: That, to me, is the point of having Punisher in this movie, is so the two can have that debate. I think this movie is still a Spider-Man movie, and Punisher is in his world. That doesn’t mean that the Punisher is somehow suddenly a different character. He’s the same Punisher, but we’re not showing the things that a PG-13 movie can’t show.

But to me, the point of the Punisher being in this movie is to be a little bit of a warning sign for Spidey, and the journey that he could go down if he’s not careful.
