Vagan "Rainer Batya" Margaryan 2025 promises to be a true celebration for fans of the superhero genre. Unless, of course, it turns into a disaster for the already waning genre.

According to the plot, the government assembles a team of antiheroes and sends them on a special mission.

The much-troubled film about the vampire hunter may be released next year. Lead actor Mahershala Ali has been waiting for many years for a worthy director for Marvel's new creation. Despite production difficulties, the project arouses interest thanks to the well-known character and cast. Rumor has it that Wesley Snipes may even return to the role, adding a pinch of the multiverse to the gothic world of vampires. Filming has not yet begun, so we optimistically await November.
TV Series
