Is anyone else wondering about the timeline between Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette that will now not air and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?

Season 4 of the hit Hulu series, which premiered in March 2026, showed the weeks leading up to Taylor leaving for Los Angeles for season 22 of The Bachelorette. Before she left, however, Taylor hooked up with ex Dakota Mortensen at least two times — once just a few hours before her flight — which left some wondering whether she was serious about her search for The One.

“It was a choice,” Taylor told Us Weekly in an exclusive cover story earlier this month while reflecting on her Bachelorette journey. “Ready, at the end of the day, is a decision. So I made the decision to leave for two months and try. I reassured [the men] that was why I was here.”

Taylor explained that she and Dakota “were just not progressing,” adding, “We like each other sometimes, and then we fight. It’s really hard to explain to people and unless you’ve been in that situation, it is hard to understand. If I could just snap out of it, trust me, I would. It’s just a lot harder said than done.”

Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen‘s complicated romance was thrust into the spotlight on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — and their relationship status remains unclear. The couple started dating before the show premiered on Hulu. Dakota was Taylor’s first public boyfriend after her divorce from husband Tate Paul due to a high-profile “soft […]

Taylor, who shares son Ever with Dakota, acknowledged that it’s been “so hard to remove” herself from the “cycle” of their messy off-and-on romance.

News later broke that filming on season 5 of Mormon Wives was put on pause after Taylor and Dakota were allegedly involved in a domestic violence dispute. A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department confirmed that there is an open “domestic assault investigation” involving Taylor and Dakota.

During her interview with Us — which took place days before a police report was filed regarding the alleged incident — Taylor opened up about her status with Dakota.

“That’s a good question,” she hinted. “I don’t even know. I have to ask myself that question all the time. Where do we stand? I don’t know. Ask me tomorrow.”

Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette was ultimately canceled before a single episode could air amid ongoing conflict with Dakota.

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the timeline between The Bachelorette season 22 and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 5:

October 26, 2025

Hours after filming her last scene for season 4 of Mormon Wives — which showed her seemingly sleeping with Dakota Mortensen again — Taylor Frankie Paul was on a plane to the Bachelor Mansion. She met with nearly 20 former franchise leads, who offered her advice for The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose special.

November 12, 2025

In a prerecorded segment that aired during The Golden Bachelor season 2 finale, Taylor Frankie Paul spoke to Jesse Palmer about her contestants.

“They’re all amazing, which has made this all so much harder,” Taylor shared at the time. “If they were not the best, it would make it easy to weed them out, but they’re just gentlemen and there’s chemistry with them. It’s been wild.”

Taylor noted that not every suitor was a match.

“I’m not a very by-the-book girl, [and] I just want to be more comfortable,” she said. “The more comfortable we are, myself and the men … we try to be our truest selves. If I want to wear Crocs tonight, I’m wearing my Crocs. … Can we eat the food that’s on the table? But also, if I want to send people home before the rose ceremony, if I catch something, I’m sending them home.”

After Jesse then revealed that Taylor “literally” did just cut one of her contestants “a couple hours ago,” she added, “He made it easy because he was trying to fire back at me, and I’m like, ‘Absolutely not.’ I’m not here to waste your time, please don’t waste mine. If you’re here for the wrong reasons, you’re leaving.”

December 9, 2025

Although Bachelor Nation leads and contestants typically don’t have access to social media while filming, Taylor Frankie Paul appeared to be the exception as she shared glimpses at her looks for the rose ceremonies.

December 11, 2025

“Teaser: Last night was one of the BEST nights of my life,” Taylor Frankie Paul wrote via her Instagram Stories as she prepared to wrap filming on the dating show. “Can’t wait to talk about [it] in like six months LMAFO [sic].”

December 13, 2025

While Taylor Frankie Paul was still in Los Angeles filming The Bachelorette, production kicked off on season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. (The cast has previously mentioned that they don’t often have a break between seasons as producers continue filming them.)

“Just catching @Taylor Paul up on life lately 😉😂,” Jessi Ngatikaura wrote via TikTok after getting into a social media feud with costar Demi Engemann, which is expected to play out on Mormon Wives season 5.

Based on the Mormon Wives cast’s interactions with Taylor before The Bachelorette wrapped, there will likely be some crossover with the stars of both shows.

December 20, 2025

Taylor Frankie Paul filmed The Bachelorette throughout the fall of 2025, teasing via social media that the outcome of season 22 would be “worth the wait.”

“And that’s a wrap,” she revealed via Instagram. “I never experienced anything like this. Can’t wait to talk all about [The Bachelorette], share it, show it.”

She concluded: “Such a passion for what goes into something like this. Feeling so grateful to be part of the bachelor nation family and crew. I left the most ‘me’ picture [her flipping the middle finger] for last. This will be worth the wait, stay tuned coming in March.”

February 19, 2026

While Taylor didn’t reveal whether she got engaged, she teased her Bachelorette ending in her Us Weekly cover story interview.

“I’m happy in the moment,” she said. “[The season] ended in a Taylor way. Some people may know what that means, and some people might not.”

February 24, 2026

According to a spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department, “contact was made with involved parties on [February] 24th and 25th” regarding an alleged dispute between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen. The spokesperson noted “allegations have been made in both directions” and that there is an open “domestic assault investigation.”

March 15, 2026

Taylor Frankie Paul attended the 2026 Oscars to promote The Bachelorette season 22. She also took to TikTok to share a video of herself with a mystery guy — which some thought was her finalist from The Bachelorette — with a caption that read, “Sorry kinda busy.”

March 16, 2026

A source confirmed production was “shut down” on season 5 of Mormon Wives following Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s alleged domestic dispute.

“The Mormon Wives cast [is] honestly terrified to film with Taylor right now,” the source exclusively told Us, noting that “the women have made it clear they don’t want to be around her because they see her as a major liability.”

According to the insider, the Mormon Wives cast “believed Taylor was in a better place” after she filmed her season of The Bachelorette and that their Hulu reality show “was heading in a different direction.”

“Now, many of them feel they’ve moved past the point of dealing with this kind of behavior and simply don’t want to be put in that position again,” the source continued.

March 17, 2026

“There’s more to the context to everything, and it’s unfortunate,” Taylor Frankie Paul exclusively told Us about the news of her dispute with Dakota. “It’s been hard. And it sucks to be in this position. And the mother that I am, that is something I will always stand my ground on. I believe that I am a good mother and I have always treated my kids very well.”

She continued: “The headlines that are out right now are very hard to see, because that’s not the truth of it. I have always treated my children with respect and I’ve never touched them. So it’s been really hard.”

Taylor noted that it was “unfortunate” to see the incident making headlines ahead of the Bachelorette season 22 premiere, adding, “It’s another premiere that’s been taken away from me. I’ve never enjoyed a premiere for any one of my shows. So it’s just been very sad.”

March 18, 2026

Dakota Mortensen broke his silence on the alleged altercation with Taylor Frankie Paul.

“His number one priority here is protecting [their son], Ever,” a rep for Dakota told Entertainment Weekly. “He knew there was a possibility it could come out, but he was not going to be the one to proactively do that because he has always wanted a decent relationship with Taylor. It’s been really hard to achieve that, but he wants to coparent well.”

The rep denied that Dakota was responsible for the alleged domestic violence dispute with Taylor being made public after filming for season 5 of the Hulu reality show was halted.

“He was just hoping that if he says nothing, as he usually does, it would go away. He’s never done any kind of sit-down interview about his side,” the statement continued. “He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can’t do that.”

March 19, 2026

Leaked footage from Dakota Mortensen and Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2023 dispute showed her throwing multiple chairs while her daughter — whom she shares with ex-husband Tate Paul — cried in the background. Dakota subsequently filed a restraining order against Taylor, who claimed in a statement the footage of their argument was “edited.”

ABC ultimately confirmed that season 22 of The Bachelorette was canceled.

March 22, 2026

ABC has not announced what will air instead of The Bachelorette.

The Bachelorette alum Ryan Sutter has dealt with highs and lows of his Lyme disease battle.

“I’m at a pretty good place. I think the majority of my days are good, with a few bad ones sprinkled in there,” Sutter, 51, told People in an interview published Thursday, March 19. “I’ve kind of learned how to handle those. If I pay close enough attention, I can feel the onset of things coming on, and then I’ll just make sure I don’t overdo it or overexert myself.”

Ryan, who is married to the first-ever Bachelorette Trista Sutter, confirmed his diagnosis in 2021. While dealing with the health battle, Ryan soon began navigating a series of dark thoughts and feelings.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever sympathized with suicide,” Ryan told the outlet. “I was never like, ‘I need to go [act on the thoughts],’ but I understood that [chronically ill] people get to this level of frustration where they just feel like they’re going to feel like this for the rest of their lives, or be a burden on everybody that they’re around.”

Many celebrities have spoken out about their Lyme disease diagnoses over the years, and because the disease is easy to misdiagnose, many had to fight to be believed.

He continued, “You think, ‘I don’t know what my purpose in life is,’ and if there is no purpose to it, if it’s just getting up every day and feeling like this. It really hurts me to think that so many people are in that kind of pain and don’t think they’ll ever get out of it.”

Ryan noted he’s learned to pay “closer attention” to his moods and make sure to take supplements to help combat any suicidal thoughts.

“As long as I can keep going, moving forward, I feel like that keeps it at bay,” he explained. “But, compared to when I first got diagnosed, it’s like night and day. If I refer back to that time, I’m always like, ‘I’ll take this a hundred times out of a hundred.’ It’s way better than what it used to be. Also, the mindset I’ve developed is that it’s just not going to be what gets me off the rails.”

The firefighter is also hopeful that there will eventually be a cure for his future family’s sake.

“I just want to be healthy enough that, God willing, we have grandkids that I can do fun things with them,” he said.

Ryan has been married to Trista, 53, for over two decades, during which time they welcomed son Maxwell, 18, and daughter Blakesley, 16.

He says he’s about 80 percent,” Trista said on Chris Harrison’s “Most Dramatic Podcast Ever” in April 2025. “I would go to his doctor’s appointments with him because he is so incredibly humble. So he’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to complain about whatever’s going on with me,’ even if it’s really significant.”

She added at the time, “If it was me that was going through what he’s going through, I would be bedridden every single day and maybe even hospitalized. He is able to get through this because he’s freaking superhuman. I don’t understand it.”

Kim Kardashian is all for fairness and equity when it comes to reward for labor!

“The Kardashians” star has lent her voice to a bill that would ensure that the firefighters who fought day and night to quench the destructive Pacific Palisades wildfire early last year get duly compensated for their courageous service.

Kim Kardashian earned her share of backlash last year, first for promoting a SKIMS sale in the heart of the wildfire crisis and then for urging higher wages, which some critics think would make the issue political at such a sensitive period.

Kim Kardashian Is On A Personal Mission With The Legislative Process

The business mogul is fully backing and endorsing the new bill introduced by Senator Cory Booker this week, which would ensure that firefighters who work from prison would get a minimum wage. According to Kardashian, her interest grew in the case because she watched prisoners put their all into fighting the Los Angeles fires last year.

The bill was reintroduced by the democrat on Thursday, March 19, and it would require that prisoners who are working get to earn the minimum wage through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. This bill will also eliminate outrageous deductions for fees, fines, and living costs in prisons.

Kardashian explained why she joined the movement, stating that the firefighters whom she personally watched risk their lives to curb the spread showed so much bravery and courage, just like professional firefighters, but earned less pay. “In many cases, they’re banned from even applying for firefighting jobs once they’re released. That’s not just unfair, it’s un-American,” the media personality declared, as shared by PEOPLE.

The SKIMS Founder Approached Governor Gavin Newsom For A Raise In Wages Last Year

As the fire raged deeper into the area, Kardashian hopped online and called for more recognition and higher pay for the heroes who braved the fiery furnace and helped families survive loss and destruction. As noted by The Blast, the reality star took to Instagram to tag Governor Newsom about reviewing and raising wages for these incarcerated people on the frontline of the rescue mission.

The mother-of-four declared that the inmates worked grueling hours under harsh weather and living conditions, only to earn less than $1 hour, which is nothing compared to such a large-scale disaster.

According to reports, nearly 1,000 inmates assisted in combating the wildfires, which they claimed had already burned over 40,000 acres and killed about 16 people. However, no inmate firefighters have lost their lives in the process of saving affected persons.

Kim Kardashian Angered Critics For SKIMS Promotion During The Fire Incident

Before her advocacy, the 45-year-old was slammed for promoting a big sale for her SKIMS line while the fire broke out. Meredith Lynch was at the forefront of the criticism, dragging the entrepreneur on her Instagram for telling people to buy SKIMS while families and lives were being displaced and destroyed.

Lynch continued that Kardashian could have used a platform as big as hers to provide resources and raise awareness about the fires, but is hell-bent on using it to sell her products. The fire also threatened Kardashian’s expansive $70 million Malibu mansion right by the ocean.

The property was previously owned by supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber. As for her Hidden Hills property, the star reportedly exited her home, alongside the rest of her family, after receiving a mandatory evacuation order due to the fire’s rapid spread.

The Fashion Icon Debunked Emails Asking For Financial Aid For Victims

The star certainly had her hands full during such a trying period in the city, as she took the time out to warn internet users and fans about scammers using her name in emails for false fundraisers. She explained that such a scam may claim they want to raise funds to support affected families and victims of the wildfires, which she endorsed.

She uploaded a sample picture of one of the numerous scam emails going around with her name on it, warning her followers to verify links before donating to anyone. The Blast noted that the reality star also praised the firefighters for staying up all night long to help families affected by the fire and save the community.

The Los Angeles wildfires, which began last January, consumed over 40,000 acres of land in the Southern part of Los Angeles, with more than 200,000 persons evacuated as efforts were made to rein in the spread. The fire affected homes of celebrities like Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins, Tina Knowles, John Goodman, Candy Spelling, Milo Ventimiglia, and Miles Teller, alongside 12,000 other structures.

Kim Kardashian’s Sister Called For Donations Amid The Fires

While the entrepreneur did not earn good points for how she handled the aftermath of the outbreak, her younger sister, Khloé Kardashian, joined her 300k+ followers to make a difference in the heart of the crisis.

Khloé hopped online to speak out on behalf of the victims and firefighters, noting that a neighbor of hers was in direct contact with fire department officials who shared that the firefighters are desperate, hungry, and tired.

The Good American founder also provided actionable ways to help the victims, encouraging them to support their local fire stations by dropping off supplies like protein-packed meals, Gatorade, and coffee. 

The mother-of-two attached her neighbor’s Venmo details to one of her posts, revealing that if anyone was interested in donating to them, they could proceed as he would be heading to Costco to pick up rotisserie chickens and sides to deliver to several stations.

Will Kim Kardashian see this through and add it to her long list of advocacy successes?

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 Episode 11.

As The Pitt Season 2’s 15-hour shift grinds closer toward its irrevocable conclusion, the toll this especially horrible Fourth of July has taken on the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency room staff compares to a slow-motion crash. The cracks in their mental fortitude are starting to show across the board — fractures exacerbated by an unreliable sociopolitical system that either can’t, or chooses not to, support its caretakers with a reliable foundation.

This, of course, is on par with R. Scott Gemmill and Noah Wyle‘s vision for their lightning-in-a-bottle drama. The Pitt isn’t content to float along buoyed by empty talking points. Its acclaim hails from its no-frills, no-lies commitment to keeping its finger on the pulse of viscerally resonant issues, and does so via what should be common fictional practice — giving impacted communities at the epicenter of economic disparity, racism, misogynistic violence, and more the dignity of a face and voice. In the wake of Episode 9 broaching the inarguably controversial and indefensibly violent mass immigration raids occurring across American cities, Episode 11 — one of the series’ most harrowing and unsettling hours — escalates with two ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officers’ direct presence inside the emergency department.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2’s ICE Storyline Parallels Current Events

In late February, executive producer John Wells‘ interview on The Town with Matt Belloni podcast referred to the show’s upcoming ICE-related storyline as an echo of an ongoing crisis unfolding within hospital rooms — specifically, those based within Minnesota, the site of multiple citizen fatalities caused by ICE agents. Wells cites The New York Times’ recent investigative report into healthcare workers who have raised concerns regarding patient safety, privacy, and their lawful right to receive life-saving care regardless of their immigration status. The article asserts how “many [workers] have been shocked, both by the actions of agents inside their hospitals, as well as the injuries that have required treatment as a result of confrontations on the streets.”

Episode 11, hailing from executive story editor Valerie Chu and director Uta Briesewitz, indeed matches the above claims with a combination of eviscerating honesty and impeccable delicacy. Even amidst the hospital’s analog chaos, everyone within eyesight halts as soon as the armed and uniformed Correa and Russo lead in Pranita, one of many restaurant employees who fled the agents’ raid. Not only are her wrists bound by zip-ties, but she also sustained her agonizing shoulder injury from ICE’s violent and discriminatory detainment. In this circumstance, “irony” is far too insubstantial a word.

Director Damian Marcano sits down with Collider for an in-depth chat about his journey to ‘The Pitt’ and Season 2 Episode 10’s biggest moments.

No matter how immediately relevant this scenario is, however, its handling could just as easily reek of a condescending variation of white savior syndrome. Instead, the exacting, humanizing specifics at which The Pitt excels speak volumes — like Pranita’s grief that her daughter doesn’t know what’s happened to her, or Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez) complimenting Pranita on the friendship bracelet her child made for her. Dr. Cassie McKay (Fiona Dourif), while aghast and reeling, sets aside her disdain and zeroes in on Pranita’s needs with the utmost consideration. Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), who’s made her career out of fighting so-called futile battles to achieve even a shred of improvement, wants to secure a lawyer for Pranita. In the face of a violation of their Hippocratic oath, the caretakers are essentially helpless.

‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Tackles the Show’s Heaviest Topic to Date

As for Dr. Robby (Wyle), whose trademark empathy has been in tatters this season, he immediately pivots into a defensive and barely contained fury. He despises this situation, yet still chooses the opposite of Al-Hashimi’s preferred action, instructing McKay to expedite Pranita’s treatment to minimize the precarious risk to everyone else’s safety. After Russo forbids Pranita from making any phone calls but complains about the wait time for a potential x-ray and wants a bathroom for his own comfort, Robby’s brusque rage boils over in the right direction, for once — berating an ICE officer to his concealed face as “a distraction and a disruption” that’s costing the hospital their valuable staff and compromising the care that every terrified patient deserves. Even before the episode’s culminating and deeply personal blow, the ripple effects are snowballing toward catastrophe.

That personal blow arrives in the form of Nurse Jesse Van Horn (Ned Brower), both instinctively and willingly intervening to protect Pranita from further harm, and finding himself shoved to the floor and dragged away for an act of courage that should be natural human decency. The entire floor rallies behind Jesse, yet once again, those in power — PTMC’s lawyer team — are too consumed with the cyberattack to prioritize physically and legally protecting one of their nurses. Addressing systemically oppressive, harmful failures is integral to The Pitt‘s DNA. Season 2 might not include a mass casualty incident, but the department faces a different kind of emergency — that of psychological warfare, weaponized ego, and unchecked power being weaponized against innocent communities.

You think you’ve seen it all when it comes to apartment living—but this story out of Northeast Portland takes “wild” to a whole new level. Alex Padilla is making headlines after filing a lawsuit against his landlord, claiming his infant son was found with a dead mouse in his mouth at the Davenport Apartments, leaving neighbors and the internet alike shook.

RELATED: Cuteness Overload! Aunt Goes Viral After Showing Off Her 25-Pound Baby Nephew & The Internet Can’t Get Enough (VIDEO)

Dead Mouse In Infant’s Mouth Leads To Lawsuit

According to court documents, Alex Padilla and his family moved into the complex in November 2025, only to allegedly discover severe sanitation issues, including garbage buildup and rodent sightings. Despite multiple maintenance requests, the problems reportedly went unresolved. And, it apparently led to the horrifying moment when his baby was crawling on the floor with a dead mouse in his mouth. Furthermore, the child was immediately taken to the hospital for testing, and thankfully, the results came back negative. However, the family’s trauma is now at the center of a $122,000 non-economic damages lawsuit, plus $2,600 in back rent.

Neighbors Shocked, Say Baby Mouse Incident “Awful”

Neighbors expressed disbelief over the shocking claim. Ronnie Williams said, “That’s not a bug, that’s a god-d*mn… that’s an animal. Meanwhile, Dana Barbee added, “Oh my god, that’s not good, in their mouth, are you serious? That’s awful.” While some tenants say they’ve had no similar issues, the story has still left the community on high alert. Now, residents are paying closer attention to sanitation and vermin control in their own apartments.

Padilla Moves Forward After Shocking Apartment Ordeal

Padilla’s lawyer, Fuller, emphasized that the family is focused on moving forward after the ordeal. “They’re trying to put it behind them and just focus on the future,” Fuller said, noting the family had to uproot just two months after moving in. The apartment’s owner, AMFP V Pine Village LLC, has been contacted for comment, but has yet to respond.

Marvel Studios hasn’t officially said much about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but after the first trailer dropped, fans are already convinced it’s hiding some major reveals.

From a possible Man-Spider transformation to the long-rumored arrival of the X-Men, the internet is breaking down every frame for clues. While nothing has been confirmed, several theories have quickly gained traction and could hint at where the MCU is heading next.

A Darker Peter Parker Has Fans Thinking “Man-Spider”

One of the biggest talking points from the trailer is the noticeably darker tone surrounding Peter Parker.

Quick shots appear to show:

• A more aggressive Spider-Man

• Subtle physical changes in his appearance

• A loss of control over his powers

That has led many fans to speculate Marvel could be adapting elements of the “Man-Spider” storyline, where Peter undergoes a disturbing mutation tied to his spider abilities.

In Marvel Comics, the Man-Spider arc has been explored in several forms, often depicting Peter losing control as his powers evolve beyond what he can manage. While the MCU has never tackled this concept directly, the trailer’s tone suggests something more physical and unstable could be happening to him.

Symbiote Rumors Are Back Again

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Spider-Man theory cycle without talk of the black suit.

Following the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where a fragment of the Venom symbiote was left behind in the MCU, fans have long expected that storyline to pay off. The Brand New Day trailer has only added fuel to that fire.

Some viewers believe the darker visuals and Peter’s behavior could hint at early symbiote influence. Others think Marvel may combine elements of the symbiote storyline with a Man-Spider-style mutation, creating a new hybrid take on Spider-Man’s transformation.

While there’s no direct confirmation of Venom appearing, the groundwork has clearly been laid.

Sadie Sink’s Role Is Already a Mystery

Another major topic of discussion is Sadie Sink’s casting.

Marvel has yet to reveal who she’s playing, but that hasn’t stopped speculation from running wild. The most popular theory right now is that Sink could be portraying Jean Grey, which would mark a massive step toward introducing mutants into the MCU.

The idea has gained traction online, especially as Marvel continues to build toward a post-Secret Wars future that likely includes the X-Men.

However, not everyone is convinced.

Other theories suggest she could be:

• Firestar

• A version of Mary Jane Watson

• A completely original MCU character

• Or another lesser-known Marvel figure being reimagined

At this point, her role remains one of the film’s biggest mysteries.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day [credit: Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures]

A Possible Turning Point for the MCU

If even part of these theories prove true, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could be more than just another Spider-Man sequel.

The film appears to pick up with Peter completely isolated following the events of No Way Home, where the world forgot his identity. That emotional reset creates the perfect setup for a darker, more vulnerable version of the character.

It also opens the door for larger changes in the MCU, whether that’s the introduction of the symbiote storyline, a new phase of Spider-Man’s evolution, or even the early stages of mutant integration.

Nothing Is Confirmed… But That Hasn’t Stopped Fans

As with most Marvel trailers, it’s important to note that none of these theories have been confirmed.

Still, the reaction online shows just how much anticipation is building around Brand New Day. Whether it delivers on these ideas or takes things in a completely different direction, one thing is clear:

Marvel has everyone paying attention again.
