Archenemy: Joe Manganiello’s dark superhero movie deserves another shot

There’s no denying that superhero movies are in a slump. Marvel Studios has had a particularly rough year, with well-reviewed films like Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps struggling at the box office. Superman offered a glimmer of hope in 2025, but the future of the rebooted DCU is still murky at best with Warner Bros. up for sale. It all feels pretty dire for fans of the genre, but it’s easy to forget that, just five years ago, the situation was even worse.
