"Look, that's 100,000 people frozen and suspended in space. To reach them, and catch them, and revive every single one of them, you'd need to be some sort of insane genius." "Hello, I'm the Doctor." -- Mike Gabbastone and The Fifteenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Interstellar Song Contest"

Miller joins Paul Bettany, reprising his role of the Vision in the series, which will be set after the events in 2021's WandaVision and follow the Vision as he tries to regain his memory and humanity. Other cast members include James Spader, reprising his role of Ultron, Todd Stashwick, and Ruaridh Mollica.
Miller, 40, is a British actress known for her role as The General on Doctor Who. She's also appeared in The Fall of the House of Usher (2023), The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Peripheral, Foundation, and Sex Education.
Created in 1977 by Jim Shooter and George Pérez, Jocasta first appeared in The Avengers (vol.1) #162 as an android built by Ultron in an abandoned aerospace research center, so that Ultron could have a mate. In order to develop Jocasta's sentience, Ultron based her mind and brain patterns on the Wasp and brainwashed his creator Hank Pym into transferring the Wasp's lifeforce into the feminine android shell. Ultron named Jocasta after the wife/mother in the legend of Oedipus. Realizing that the Wasp would have to die for her to live, Jocasta alerted the Avengers. The team defeated Ultron and reversed the process, leaving Jocasta a mindless husk.
Pym retained custody of the inanimate Jocasta, intending to study her. On the Wasp's urging, Pym had her moved from their residence to the Avengers Mansion. There, Ultron revived Jocasta with a remote link, activating the Wasp's mental "residue" left behind. She escaped from Avengers custody and led the Avengers into Ultron's trap. Jocasta was programmed to be loyal to Ultron, but couldn't abide her master's evil. Jocasta eventually betrayed Ultron, choosing to help the Avengers defeat her "mate" again.
Jocasta resided at Avengers Mansion for a time and soon developed feelings for the Vision due to their similar backgrounds. However, the Vision was happily married to the Scarlet Witch and could not return Jocasta's feelings. Jocasta continued having adventures with the Avengers but never felt accepted, and left them just before she, unbeknownst to her, was about to be made an official member. Wandering the country, Jocasta was controlled by a pre-programmed suggestion to rebuild Ultron. She did, but soon teamed up with the Thing and the robot called Machine Man to defeat Ultron once again. Sacrificing herself in an attempt to kill Ultron, Ultron survived nevertheless until Machine Man reached down Ultron's throat to tear out vital circuitry. The Avengers held a memorial for their fallen ally, with the Machine Man attending, realizing his love for Jocasta. Jocasta was later rebuilt and continues aiding the Avengers from time to time.

"You have to be invited into my TARDIS, Conrad, to be special. But you...you're special for all the wrong reasons. You see, I am fighting a battle on behalf of everyday people who just wanna get through their day and feel safe and warm and fed. And then along comes this noise. All day long, this relentless noise! Cowards like you weaponizing lies, taking people's insecurity and fear and making it currency. You are exhausting. You stamp on the truth, choke our bandwidth and shred our patience because the only strategy you have is to wear us down. But the thing is, Conrad, I have energy to burn and all the time in the universe." -- The Fifteenth Doctor to Conrad Clark, Doctor Who: "Lucky Day"

In this second 3-minute trailer, we start off with Lois and Clark hanging out together as Clark agrees to let Lois interview him as Superman, confirming that Lois already knows Superman's secret identity. "Are you being serious right now?" she asks incredulously. "You'd let me interview you as Superman?"
"Sure," agrees Clark, expecting the softball treatment due to their relationship.
Activating her audio recorder, Lois asks Clark if he's ready and he glibly replies, "Let's do it, Cronkite." Lois begins the interview, addressing Clark as "Superman" and he responds to her in his deep Superman voice as "Miss Lane."
"Recently, you've come under a lot of fire for what some might--"
"I don't know if it's a lot of fire, but--" interrupts Superman as we see an image of a spaceship in the middle of downtown Metropolis.
"It's a lot," confirms Lois as we briefly cut to an image of someone angrily throwing a can at Superman's head, which he doesn't even blink at.
"Today, the Secretary of Defense said he was gonna look into your actions," continues Lois as we see Frank Grillo as a live-action version of his Creature Commandoscharacter Rick Flag Sr.
Superman smirks in a dismissive tone at this, surprising Lois. "That--That's funny?" she asks,
"My actions?" responds Superman. "I stopped a war."
"Maybe."
"Uh, not maybe. I did."
Lois proceeds to grill him harder, stating, "In effect, you illegally entered a country" as we see a handcuffed Superman being taken into custody by Rick Flag Sr., a large masked figure who may or may not be Ultraman, and the Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría).
Later in the interview, we see Superman being upset at Lois' questions. "This is how you're gonna be?" he asks.
"I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman," replies Lois. "Did you consult with the President?"
Superman gives a long, audible sigh. "No."
"You seemingly acting like a representative of the United States..."
Superman interrupts again, raising his voice in a defensive tone, "I wasn't representing anybody except for me!"
"...will cause more problems around the world," continues Lois.
"And -- and -- and doing good," he adds as we see him protecting a small child from being killed.
Lois continues to press him, saying, "I would question myself in the same situation and consider the consequences." At this moment, we see Superman being struck by a mysterious armored character called the Hammer of Boravia that bears the familiar green and purple colors of Lex Luthor from the comics. Boravia is a fictionalized European country based around the Alps in the comics, having first appeared in Superman (vol.1) #2 back in 1939.
"People were going to die!" shouts Superman, now completely exasperated.
We see Superman crashing into a busy sidewalk, creating an impact crater. Someone reaches into to help Superman to his feet.
In a separate scene, a scorched Superman tells an off-camera enemy, "Hey, buddy! Eyes up here!" as he rockets upward into the sky.
As the John Williams-inspired theme begins to build, we see Luthor and the Engineer entering Superman's Fortress of Solitude, with the Engineer's hands shifting into spinning buzzsaw blades. Krypto the Superdog barks at them as they enter, with the Engineer carving up a few of Superman's robots until Krypto launches through the air and strikes her hard in the face.
We then hear the words of Clark's father,Jonathan Kent(Pruitt Taylor Vince), as he says, "Your choices...your actions...That’s what makes you who you are." We see a young Clark running toward his father, followed by the present-day Clark hugging his father after hearing his reassuring words.
As we glimpseMr. Terrific(Edi Gathegi) using his T-spheres to take out mulitple armored soldiers, we then hear Lex Luthor remarking, "Super...man. He's not a man, he's an it...that's somehow become the focal point of the entire world's conversation. I will not...accept that."
Glimpses of Lois worrying as a wounded Superman lies in bed follow, along with Superman being beaten in prison after Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) changes his left hand to Kryptonite. We also see Superman fighting Ultraman and the Engineer in the middle of the Metropolis Meteors stadium.
As Lex Luthor rages, we cut to the Kent home in Smallville, with Martha Kent (Neva Howell) telling Clark, "I cleaned your boots. I'll go get 'em for you."
Superman fights a giant kaiju in Metropolis near a giant video screen showing a news reporter played by Will Reeve, son of previous Superman actor Christopher Reeve. The chyron on the broadcast states, “New regulations set to begin next week."
More glimpses include Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) using his Power Ring to create a giant hand to swat soldiers away on the lobby window, Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) smashing someone out of a window, Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio) taking a selfie as Superman fights the Hammer of Boravia in the background, Metamorpho using his powers, Superman flying through some kind of floating debris field towards a house that shoots at him with a laser, Superman and Lois kissing in mid-air, and Superman rocketing up into the sky once again as a crowd of people cheer, then coming straight down at the camera.
In the final scene, we see Lois asking Clark, "You have a dog?" followed by a separate scene of Krypto resting on the injured Superman's chest as a good dog should.

Superman is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 11, 2025.
Max has released the first teaser trailer for the second season of Peacemaker, James Gunn's TV series adaptation of the DC Comics superhero. The season continues the story of jingoistic mercenary Peacemaker/Christopher Smith, played once again by John Cena, and places the series into Gunn's new DC Universe, which launches with his upcoming film Superman (2025).
The two-minute teaser trailer opens with Peacemaker being driven by his friend Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) to a job interview with the Justice Gang, a DCU superhero team to be introduced in Superman. Abebayo tells Peacemaker, "They'll be doing backflips to get you to join" and gives him an encouraging fist bump of support.
Going inside, Peacemaker sits down and is welcomed by Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn), asking him if he prefers going by Peacemaker or Chris. Inside a booth with Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Lord toggles a switch that presumably allows private conversation if needed. "Either's fine," replies Peacemaker.
"Can you tell us a little about your skills?" asks Lord.
"I'm considered the finest marksman in the world."
"The mic is off?" asks Hawkgirl. Lord replies that it is, even though it obviously isn't.
Thrown a bit, Peacemaker continues, "I am also proficient in hand-to-hand combat..."
Still thinking the Justice Gang is having a private conversation, Lord asks the others, "How many more of these do we have today?"
"Is that popcorn still here?" asks Hawkgirl.
"You loooooove popcorn," responds Guy Gardner.
"My butt is getting really big lately," adds Hawkgirl, still not realizing the mic isn't off.
Peacemaker continues again, "I have a variety of helmets..."
"This guy sucks," groans Lord.
"Excuse me?" interjects Peacemaker. "Am I supposed to be able to hear you guys?"
"Excuse me?" asks Lord, toggling the switch again.
"You were talking about your butt and stuff. And also, you said that I suck."
Maxwell Lord winces awkwardly, while Guy Gardner starts laughing and Hawkgirl begins munching on popcorn. "It is not funny," exclaims Lord.
Peacemaker storms out of the meeting and gets back in the car with Adebayo. They drive off and she states, "I don't get it. We saved the world," referencing the events of Season One.
On his cell phone, Adrian Chase (Freddie Stroma), better known as Vigilante, remarks, "I thought everyone would finally treat us like heroes."
In a separate scene, Adebayo remarks, "I don't need anybody else. I just forge my own path."
Next, we see Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) getting into a bar fight, followed by a scene with her therapist telling her, "I've come to the conclusion you suffer from a particularly severe form of toxic masculinity."
Emilia is stunned by the diagnosis, then goes out to her car and rage-punches the dashboard.
In another scene, Economos tells Team Peacemaker that "A.R.G.U.S. has been monitoring Peacemaker ever since Rick Flag, Sr. was named director."
Later, Chris asks Abebayo, "Does he know that I--"
"Have killed his son?" interjects Adebayo. "Yeah."
In still another scene, Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) tells someone, "Bring me Peacemaker."
Later in the trailer, Chris tells the others during a backyard hangout, "We haven't always been great people, but we are the 11th Street Kids. No one will ever break us apart."
A montage of clips from the season are shown, followed by Peacemaker asking Eagly, his pet eagle, "You ready for the next adventure, pal?"
Lastly, we see Chris, in his tighty-whities, open a door in his father's lab that takes him to an alternate Earth, where there's a poster of the band Hanoi Rocks, spelled Roxx instead. Suddenly, a gun clicks behind him, and we see another Peacemaker (also played by Cena) with a more stylish, streamlined helmet. "Who the fuck are you?" asks the other Peacemaker.
If you'd like to check out the Peacemaker Season 2 teaser trailer, you can view it below thanks to the official Max account on YouTube...
Peacemaker Season 2 is scheduled to debut August 21ston Max.
