Marvel dominated the entertainment conversation out of San Diego Comic-Con, unveiling an ambitious 2028 slate led by Ryan Gosling’s long-rumored turn as Ghost Rider in a standalone film from director Shawn Levy, alongside the announcement that David Jonsson will inherit Wakanda’s mantle as Prince T’Challa II in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 3. Together, the reveals signal Marvel’s push to refresh two of its most important franchises while tying future storytelling to legacy and succession. Away from Hollywood, the industry is also marking a loss, with tributes pouring in for Northern Irish broadcasting stalwart Gerry Kelly, who has died at 77 after a distinguished career on radio and television that made him one of the region’s most admired interviewers. And in sport, Errol Spence Jr’s retirement after his defeat to Tim Tszyu in Sydney closes the chapter on one of boxing’s defining careers.
