An Update on What’s Ahead — And Why 2026 Just Got Bigger

Written by Carson Kelly -

Sometimes the timeline shifts not because the vision changes, but because it grows.

I want to share a quick update regarding the website launch, online store launch, and Special Presentation, while also spotlighting some exciting developments coming much sooner than you might expect.

Updated launch timing

The upcoming website launch, online store launch, and Special Presentation are now officially targeted for April 30, 2026.

This decision allows everything to debut in a more complete, polished, and intentional way, not just as a launch, but as the foundation for what comes next.

Rather than rushing multiple major beats back-to-back, this new timing lets each moment land with the weight and excitement it deserves.

What’s coming sooner

While those launches shift to April, early 2026 is still very active.

A Nightmare’s Edge title is set to launch across February and March, with its own dedicated spotlight. This project has been building quietly, and it’s nearly time to let it step into the light.

In addition, there will be a special reveal event in early April for an unannounced STARFALL title, officially kicking off the spring release season. This reveal stands on its own and sets the tone for what STARFALL becomes next.

                    Fan films: two announcements, two moments

I’m also excited to confirm that two fan films have now been fully written.

  • Fan Film #1 will be officially announced later this January, as its own standalone reveal.

  • Fan Film #2 will be revealed during the April 30, 2026, Special Presentation.

For the April reveal, a premiere page will go live a few days ahead of the event, temporarily labeled as an Untitled Fan Film / Untitled Carson Kelly Film. During the live Special Presentation, the project will be fully unveiled, including its title, direction, and what it represents moving forward.

That premiere page will reside within the April 30, 2026, Special Presentation playlist, making it part of the larger launch night experience.

Why this approach matters

This isn’t about slowing down; it’s about giving each project room to breathe.

February and March get their own momentum.
Early April delivers a surprise.
April 30 becomes a true centerpiece moment, a launch night, a reveal night, and a statement of intent.

Everything connects. Nothing competes.

Looking ahead

As we move closer to April, more details will be shared about:

  • The website and online store

  • The Special Presentation structure

  • Additional reveals are planned for later in 2026

Thank you for sticking with me, for your patience, and for your excitement. This year is shaping up to be something special, not because of speed, but because of purpose.

April 30, 2026, is the moment.
And the road there is going to be fun.

🌋 Avatar: Fire and Ash – A New Elemental Masterpiece Emerges with First Teaser Trailer

  Before the lights dimmed for Fantastic Four: The First Steps, an unexpected and electrifying surprise took over the screen: a first-look teaser for James Cameron’s next chapter in the Avatar saga, Avatar: Fire and Ash. And let me just say this up front... it was breathtaking. 🔥 First Impressions: A Teaser That Burns Bright In under two minutes, Avatar: Fire and Ash establishes itself as a visual and emotional powerhouse. This time, the element of fire takes center stage. Gone are the oceans and the reefs from The Way of Water;  instead, we are engulfed in flames, ash storms, scorched jungles, and red-orange sunsets that look ripped out of a dream... or a nightmare. There’s a darker tone here. This doesn’t just look like the next step in the Avatar universe; it feels like an evolution. From what was shown, it’s clear that Cameron is pushing his creative team even further. The rendering of fire alongside motion-captured performances is unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s not...

Well, they did it, ladies and gentlemen. Marvel Studios has finally delivered a Fantastic Four film that truly feels like a Fantastic Four film. From the opening moments to the end credits, Fantastic Four: The First Steps shines as one of the most visually stunning and emotionally satisfying entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. It’s colorful, full of heart, and packed with classic Marvel flair, but this time, it genuinely feels like a comic book has come to life. 🌟 Stellar Performances Let’s talk about this cast. Julia Garner as Silver Surfer was a standout. Her performance was commanding, emotional, and magnetic. Every time she was on screen, you felt her power and presence she and Herbie were the stars of the show!  Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch completely won me over. He brings humor, fire (pun intended), and heart to the role. A perfect casting. Pedro Pascal gives a thoughtful and commanding performance as Reed Richards . He plays Reed...
