The Magnificent Seven Rides Again With Heroes Creator Tim Kring

The Magnificent Seven Rides Again With Heroes Creator Tim Kring

In this quick Geek Freaks Headlines segment, we break down why The Magnificent Seven is getting rebooted again, this time as an eight episode series led by Heroes creator Tim Kring. We cover the story’s long reboot history (including its Seven Samurai roots), why the 2016 film reboot did not fully work, and the new twist that could actually give this version real teeth: a nonviolent Quaker town hiring seven mercenaries. We also touch on the June 2026 production start and why casting is going to be the make or break detail.

  • 00:00:00 The Magnificent Seven is getting rebooted again

  • 00:00:05 The Seven Samurai connection and why this story keeps coming back

  • 00:00:13 Tim Kring (Heroes) is writing and producing, plus thoughts on the 2016 reboot

  • 00:00:45 The Quaker town twist and the moral tension it sets up

  • 00:00:59 Production start (June 2026) and casting watch

  • This is an eight episode TV reboot with Tim Kring attached as writer and producer.

  • The new angle is a Quaker community hiring violent mercenaries, which bakes moral conflict into the premise.

  • The story has been retold many times, and this version needs strong characters to stand out.

  • Casting is the big question, especially for a “seven distinct personalities” setup.

  • Production is expected to start in June 2026.

  • “The Magnificent Seven once again is getting another reboot.”

  • “I love me some Heroes.”

  • “The twist in this one is that it’s going to be this Quaker town, and they’re very much nonviolent.”

Black Panther 3?

Black Panther 3?

Black Panther 3 is in development according to Letitia Wright, the star of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Wright made the comment during a red-carpet interview with Variety, indicating that production has started on the third installment of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther franchise. However, Marvel Studios has yet to officially confirm the production of Black Panther 3. The executive producer of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Nate Moore, confirmed before the film’s release that Marvel Studios was considering plans for a sequel and that they would gauge moviegoers’ response to Wakanda Forever before deciding whether a direct follow-up was the best way to continue the Black Panther story. Although Moore hasn’t discussed Black Panther 3 since then, he suggested that fans should tune in to the upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

DnD Series

DnD Series

Paramount Plus and Hasbro studio eOne will collaborate on adapting Dungeons & Dragons for television. The show is in early development and led by Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber. eOne shopped the show around in November, and received interest from multiple buyers, but landed on Paramount Plus after a competitive situation. The two companies will partner to create the show, with Thurber writing the pilot and directing the first episode. The partnership makes sense as eOne and Paramount Pictures co-produced Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The live-action D&D show for Paramount Plus could be eOne’s largest-scope TV project ever with the potential to kick off a D&D universe with scripted and unscripted shows.

Superman in Congress

Superman in Congress

Representative-elect for California’s 43rd congressional district, Robert Garcia, plans to use a 1939 vintage Superman comic book as the text for his oath of office. The other two items he will use are a photo of his parents, who he said were lost to COVID-19, and his citizenship certificate. The use of the comic book is not illegal, according to Article IV of the US Constitution, which states that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States”. Throughout history, newly elected members of Congress have used different texts, including Hebrew scripture, the Quran, and the Bhagavad Gita. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks
