Marvel’s Wonder Man series just hit another major setback — and we’re breaking down what’s really going on behind the scenes at Disney+. Is Marvel’s new “quality over quantity” strategy already falling apart? We dig into the hidden reasons behind the Wonder Man delay, how it connects to Marvel’s ongoing struggles, and what this means for the future of superhero TV.

Then, we jump over to The Boys universe, where Jensen Ackles (Soldier Boy) reportedly walked off set during filming — but why? We discuss what might have happened, how this affects The Boys Season 5, and whether Amazon’s biggest show can keep shocking fans or if it’s losing its edge.

🎙️ In this episode of The ESE Files, we break down the week’s biggest entertainment stories, from Marvel’s behind-the-scenes chaos to The Boys’ unexpected drama — plus, our hosts share raw takes, laughs, and predictions you won’t hear anywhere else.

💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments:
