      Trailer: Disney’s Marvel’s 616 docu-series explores lesser-known Marvel stories

    The Marvel's 616 trailer

    Disney+ has a broad variety of content at this point—family shows, animated films, The Mandalorian , and so on. But there's a distinct, Disney-specific formula that has emerged for the streaming network's original series: documentaries talking up the cultural importance of Disney's own brands and the creative contributions of the filmmakers, artists, and so on behind those works.

    That continues with a new series titled Marvel's 616 ; Disney just released a trailer for the show today.

    616 will span eight episodes, each directed by a filmmaker of some prominence (some of them more widely known as actors, actually), and each focused on a different aspect of the world of Marvel comics and films and the fandom thereof. In some ways, it sounds a bit like the Marvel version of other self-promotional series like Disney Insider , Disney Gallery / Star Wars: The Mandalorian , One Day at Disney , and The Imagineering Story .

      New trailer for Alien director’s Raised by Wolves brings the lofty sci-fi

    My favorite video.

    Today marks the release of a new trailer for HBO Max’s upcoming sci-fi series Raised by Wolves , produced and initially directed by Ridley Scott, who also directed Alien and The Martian .

    Compared to the initial trailer that landed recently, this one fleshes the world out a bit more by introducing additional characters and more thoroughly explaining the central conflict in the series.

    Here’s a quick recap of what we know about the series so far: it principally stars a female, possibly part-biological android named Mother, who has left behind some catastrophe on humanity’s home planet to travel to a new one. There, she raises a group of children who will be the seed for a new human civilization that avoids the mistakes that purportedly destroyed civilization as we know it. But in the course of raising them, it becomes clear that the young humans are susceptible to the same tendencies that Mother claims were humanity’s undoing.
