Marvel fans have plenty to look forward to in 2026, and the excitement is only building with the upcoming PlayStation State of Play on June 2. Sony has confirmed that the event will feature an extended look at Marvel's Wolverine, the highly anticipated video game from Insomniac Games—the same studio behind the beloved Spider-Man series. This marks a major moment for the X-Men franchise, which is also gearing up for a cinematic reboot and appearances in upcoming Avengers films.
The Wolverine game was first teased with a trailer last year, and Insomniac has since announced a September 15 release date. Now, with the State of Play just two weeks away, fans can expect a deeper dive into the story, gameplay, and characters. The game stars Liam McIntyre as the voice of Logan, taking over the iconic role from Hugh Jackman for the first time in a major project. The initial trailer already teased appearances by other mutants like Mystique and Omega Red, hinting at a rich roster of allies and enemies.
While plot details remain under wraps, the State of Play is expected to shed light on how Insomniac is adapting Wolverine's brutal combat style and claw-slinging action for the PlayStation 5. The studio's track record with open-world superhero games has set high expectations, and this exclusive title is poised to be one of the biggest releases of the fall.
Beyond the game, Marvel is also pushing forward with its X-Men reboot movie, directed by Thunderbolts* filmmaker Jake Schreier. Schreier has brought on writers Lee Sung-jin and Joanna Calo to craft a new script, but details remain scarce. Meanwhile, legacy X-Men actors like Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, and Ian McKellen are confirmed to return in Avengers: Doomsday, bridging the gap between the old Fox universe and the new Marvel Studios era.
The June 2 State of Play will also likely touch on other upcoming PlayStation titles, but all eyes are on Logan. With the game launching exclusively on PS5 on September 16, this presentation could be the last major preview before release. For now, fans can revisit the first trailer and speculate on how Insomniac will balance Wolverine's feral rage with a compelling narrative.
In other entertainment news, Brandon Sanderson's sci-fi epic 'Skyward' is getting a TV adaptation, and Morgan Spector and Zach Cherry star in the haunted coming-of-age drama 'Caity'. But for Marvel devotees, the countdown to June 2 has officially begun.
