  • TMNT's The Last Ronin Getting a Game Adaptation

    Paramount Global, the rights holder for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is developing a new video game adaptation of The Last Ronin graphic novel. The Last Ronin video game will be a third-person action role-playing game, similar to Sony’s God of War titles, and will focus on a single character, the lone surviving turtle Michelangelo seeking justice for his fallen comrades. The game will be developed by an unnamed studio and is expected to target an older audience. While the game is a few years off from release, fans can expect more details on The Last Ronin and other TMNT games in the coming months and years. Additionally, TMNT will soon be featured in a Roblox game and a new animated feature film called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

  • Nintendo Closing eShops This Week

    The Nintendo 3DS and WiiU eShop is closing on March 27, 2023, and many games will no longer be available for legal download. Nintendo’s decision to close eShops has upset fans and lovers of video game history as many games may disappear and never be available again. In response, YouTuber The Completionist spent almost a year buying his way through both libraries, purchasing 866 Wii U games and 1547 3DS titles, totaling 1.2TB of data for the Wii U and 267GB for the 3DS. He spent $22,791 and is donating everything he downloaded to the Video Game History Foundation, though the fate of the digital games, in the long run, is unclear.

  • Marvel President Victoria Alonso Fired Amid Visual Effects Criticisms and Phase 5 Preparations

    Victoria Alonso, the longtime Marvel president in charge of physical production, post-production, VFX, and animation, has been fired at the behest of Disney co-chair Alan Bergman, according to a new report by Variety. This news has come as a surprise to many observers, as Alonso had been with Disney since 2006 and was known as one of the company’s most influential producers. Her work dates back to 2008’s Iron Man, where she was a co-producer and visual effects producer.

    It is unclear why Alonso was fired, but problems around Marvel’s visual effects have been in the news for some time now. The latest MCU project to garner criticism is Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. Alonso was reportedly “blindsided” by the decision, and Kevin Feige, who was her direct boss, was apparently not involved in the decision.

  • Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Jon Spaihts to pen Netflix’s “Gears of War” adaptation

    Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Jon Spaihts has joined Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the popular video game “Gears of War,” marking another attempt to bring the franchise to the big screen. Spaihts, who is best known for his work on “Dune” and “Doctor Strange,” will adapt one of gaming’s richest and most acclaimed video game sagas with over 40 million copies sold. The “Gears of War” franchise centers on a society divided and on the brink of collapse, facing total extinction by the monstrous Locust alien race. The ragtag Delta Squad, led by disgraced sergeant Marcus Fenix, is charged with leading humanity’s last stand.

    Netflix’s partnership with The Coalition aims to first adapt the game into a live-action feature film, followed by an adult animated series, with the potential for more stories to follow. Spaihts is a master storyteller with a talent for creating epic, science-fiction universes, and he truly loves “Gears of War,” according to The Coalition.

    Previous attempts to adapt the game have been unsuccessful. Universal hired F. Scott Frazier to write an adaptation in 2018, but no other moves were made on that project. With Netflix’s hiring of Spaihts, “Gears of War” fans have much to look forward to given the screenwriter’s wealth of experience adapting major genre IP.

  • Marvel Pursues Legal Action Against Reddit Leakers of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Script

    Marvel is pursuing legal action against the individual or group responsible for the Reddit leak of the script of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”. The leak included dialogue and key plot points from the film, and Marvel has submitted a DMCA subpoena application to Reddit and Google to reveal the leakers. The subreddit, r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers, which leaked key plot details for several MCU films before their theatrical release, shut down after the subpoena was issued. Marvel’s strict policy to keep scripts under wraps has been harder to maintain during the pandemic as more people have access to sensitive information from home. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” has made $449.2 million so far at the worldwide box office, but it is on track for the worst gross of the Ant-Man trilogy, and has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences.

  • Shazam! Fury of the Gods Underperforms at Box Office: Speculations on Reasons Behind Failure and Warner Bros.' Challenges in DC Universe

    Shazam! Fury of the Gods has disappointed DC fans with its underwhelming performance at the box office. There are now speculations as to why the movie failed, with reports claiming that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson rejected the idea of connecting his Black Adam character to Shazam! in post-credits scenes. Zachary Levi, who stars in the Shazam sequel, supports this theory and agrees that the movie's failure was due to fans of the Zack Snyder DC films hoping for it to fail. Warner Bros. is also facing challenges in maintaining control over the DC Universe during its transition period to a new era under DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran, resulting in some directors and actors being let go or left uncertain about their future with the company.
    Despite this, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman 2 are still set to be released this year, with James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy scheduled for 2025. Warner Bros. must respond to the poor performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but must first address the chaotic situation in the DC Universe. The company must regain control over its properties to ensure the franchise's future success, especially with the uncertain future of directors and actors in the DC Universe.
    Meanwhile, director Zack Snyder has announced a commemorative event called Snydercon, featuring all three of his DC Universe films, including a first-ever IMAX screening of his version of Justice League. The event aims to showcase Snyder’s work and give fans the chance to relive his films and experience the Snyder Cut in all its unmitigated glory.

  • James Gunn Directing Superman: Legacy

    According to Warner Bros.’ official logline, Superman: Legacy “tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”

    “He’s a big old galoot. He is a farm boy from Kansas who is very idealistic,” Gunn said of Superman at the press conference in January. “His greatest weakness is that he’ll never kill anybody, [and] doesn’t want to hurt a living soul. And I like that sort of innate goodness about Superman as his defining characteristic.”
