2. Sam Esmail’s BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Reboot Might Be Set in the Same Universe as Ronald D. Moore’s Series | GeekTyrant
I thought yesterday this was a reboot which would be silly but a sequel could work.
“Sam called me and was very gracious, he didn’t pitch me the story so I don’t know. But he said his plans and he wasn’t going to re-start the show and recast it but he wanted to do something in the same universe. Sam’s amazing and I love Mr. Robot. I was like, you know, ‘You’re an amazing guy and amazing writer, go with god!’”

5. Venom 2 and Morbius Get Further Connected to the MCU in Latest Sony Viral Marketing | MovieWeb
The fictional Instagram page for the MCU Eugene “Flash” Thompson (Tony Revolori) shared a fictional newspaper with the title “A vampire in New York”. That’s apparently a “Morbius the Living Vampire” reference. That or it’s a reference to Eddie Murphy’s 1995 flop Vampire in Brooklyn movie.
This is apparently teasing what Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige described as Spider-Man’s “superpower to cross cinematic universes” and the possibility that Sony’s “Spider-Verse” could tie more directly into the MCU.
