••• Speaking at the premiere for Daredevil season 2, Marvel’s chief creative officer Joe Quesada spoke a little about the upcoming Luke Cage and Iron Fist series. “Our goal is to provide four different shows that each have their own feel while, again, feeling like they are a part of a whole. Not an easy task, but I can tell you that our team is really fantastic at doing this,” he tells Decider. “It’s still the early stages of Iron Fist, so I’m a little hesitant to say too much more than that. But Danny Rand is a completely different character and the world that he comes from, how he obtained his powers and his skills — all completely different.” As for the Luke Cage series: “We’re not just locking ourselves into Hell’s Kitchen — although a lot of stuff does go on in Hell’s Kitchen. Luke Cage’s world is still New York, but it’s a different neighborhood. Again, I don’t want to reveal too much more than that, but the show itself will have a different palate, a different feel, a tone. It will sound different. So stay tuned.”

Preacher’s Upside Down Church Poster Recreated For Real

This crash-landed, upside-down church might look like something out of a Wizard Of Oz remake (you expect to see some witchy legs pointing out from underneath) but no. It is, a fact, a publicity stunt for the Preacher TV show, recreating the iconic poster for real in advance of the show’s world premiere at SXSW in Texas.
