Two untitled Marvel films get 2024 release dates

Disney recently updated its release calendar, which now includes dates for two currently unannounced Marvel Studios films.

The two new dates, July 26 and November 8, mean that Marvel Studios is currently planning on releasing four films in 2024, with dates in February and May already having been confirmed earlier in the year. Currently, it’s unknown what the films will be, as Marvel has only announced which films will be releasing up until Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on May 5, 2023.

The inclusion of the two new dates now leaves Marvel Studios with seven release dates for unknown films, ranging from July 2023 all the way until November 2024. With films like Captain America 4, Blade, Fantastic Four, and many others currently in early development, it’s likely that we’ll see some of these highly anticipated films land on those dates, although we’ll have to wait for more information before anything becomes official.

Matthew Mercer comments on Overwatch’s McCree name change

Recently, Activision Blizzard announced that they’d be changing the name of Overwatch’s hero McCree, as the name is tied to a former employee that was embroiled in the accusations leveled at the company.

Now, the voice actor for the cowboy, Matthew Mercer, has shared his thoughts about the situation, saying, “I know this is a small consolation, but it’s one that needed to be done for a lot of people to feel comfortable moving forward with the story of Overwatch and the characters. People have different opinions on it and some can say that it’s just a name and that it’s ridiculous to change it, but it’s a name that also represents a connection to a lot of people’s pain and abuse. And if we have the opportunity to make it better and let that lie in the past and let the character live as something separate like it should, then I can’t help but be behind that.”

Mercer doesn’t know what the cowboy will be called, but he appeared to be more focused on the real-life people that were affected by all of this and that changing the name would be one step in the healing process.

“If it was the one thing they did, it would be nowhere near enough,” he said. “But it’s just one facet of all the things they are seemingly doing internally to try to right a lot of wrongs. I feel so much for all of the people that were mistreated and were victims of individuals in the company that abused their power and positions. My heart has been breaking since the whole thing went down.”

Injustice animated movie gets release date

Warner Bros. Animation has revealed the official box art and a release date of October 19, 2021 for their upcoming film Injustice.

Inspired by Injustice: Gods Among Us, the popular NetherRealm Studios video game and the DC graphic novel based on that game, the animated film Injustice finds an alternate world gone mad – where The Joker has duped Superman into killing Lois Lane, sending the Man of Steel on a deadly rampage. Unhinged, Superman decides to take control of the Earth for humanity’s own good. Determined to stop him, Batman creates a team of like-minded, freedom-fighting heroes.

Starring Justin Hartley as the Man of Steel and Anson Mount as the Dark Knight, fans can catch a sneak peek at Injustice when DC FanDome returns on Saturday, October 16th, just days before the film’s release.

Poison Ivy, a.k.a Pamela Isley, is a former botany student of Gotham University described as a passionate, brilliant scientist with a mind for changing the world for the better. But her plans shifted when she was experimented on by a colleague and injected with various plant toxins which turned her into the infamous Batman villain Poison Ivy.

Now effectively wiped off the board for years, Batwoman and her team must prepare themselves for Poison Ivy to return with a vengeance.

Manifest Season 4 ordered by Netflix

Manifest has officially been saved by Netflix. After weeks of negotiations, the streamer has closed a deal for a super-sized fourth and final season of the missing plane drama. In a nod to Manifest’s fans and Flight 828, the announcement of the Season 4 pickup was made on August 28th, or “828 Day” at 8:28 AM pacific time.

The final season of Manifest will be comprised of 20 episodes. As is customary for series on Netflix, the season will be split into multiple parts.

The pickup by Netflix will give fans answers after the cancellation by NBC made for a premature ending, leaving unanswered questions and unresolved Season 3 finale cliffhangers for the series, which had been originally conceived by creator Jeff Rake for a six-season run. That plan will now be condensed to bring the story of the passengers of Flight 828 to a proper conclusion in four seasons. The 20-episode pickup will help toward that goal as it represents Manifest‘s largest season order.

Marvel is developing a Halloween special for Disney+

According to The Wrap, Marvel Studios is actively searching for a Latino actor to lead the cast of an as-yet untitled Halloween Special that will air on Disney+.

Individuals with knowledge say the character may be based on “Werewolf by Night,” the name used by two separate Marvel characters.

The first, Jack Russell, is a descendant of the mystically-altered offshoot of humans known as Lycanthropes, who eventually becomes capable of transforming on his own volition even without a full moon, and retaining his intellect while transformed. Among other things, that series is notable for having the first appearance of Moon Knight, a character whose own Disney+ series will stream in 2022.

The second, Jake Gomez, is a member of a Native American tribe whose family has been cursed with lycanthropy, when he comes in conflict with a nefarious pharmaceutical company exploiting members of the tribe.

It’s not clear which, if either, version of Werewolf by Night will serve as inspiration for the TV special.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will arrive in Spring 2022

A new trailer has been released for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and with it, a release window announcement of Spring 2022.

The game adapts all nine entries in the Skywalker saga, with the trailer including a bunch of nods to famous scenes from the Star Wars movies. Along with X-wing battles and lightsaber duels with the likes of Darth Vader and Darth Maul, you’ll see moments like Rey flipping over Kylo Ren’s TIE fighter. The game includes 20 unlockable planets you can travel between and more than 300 playable characters.

This is the first game in the Lego Star Wars series since 2016, when TT Games released Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It marks the first time that the studio has adapted The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Warner Bros. initially planned to release Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in 2020, and then in Spring 2021, but TT Games needed more time to finish it.

The Flash Season 8 will premiere with a 5-part special event

The CW has announced that the upcoming eighth season of the Grant Gustin-led DC series The Flash will officially debut on November 16, with a five-part special event titled, “Armageddon.” The event is expected to feature a number of guest stars from ongoing and completed Arrowverse shows who are reprising their superhero roles to join Gustin’s scarlet speedster in battling a major alien threat.

Overwatch hero McCree will be renamed following Blizzard controversy

The sexual harassment lawsuit against Activision Blizzard will have more repercussions for game content. Blizzard is changing Overwatch character Jesse McCree’s name now that his real-life namesake has left the company. The developer wants a name that better represents Overwatch ideals, according to a statement.

The company had planned a story arc for September that would have featured McCree, but is delaying that narrative until later in 2021 to reflect the name change. Players will instead get a new free-for-all map that month. Blizzard also promised that it would no longer name characters after employees, and said it would be more thoughtful and discerning about referencing the real world in Overwatch.

The real Jesse McCree left Blizzard earlier in August, just weeks after his name surfaced in a California lawsuit over sexual discrimination and harassment at the gaming giant. McCree was reportedly spotted in photos of BlizzCon’s notorious “Cosby Suite” hotel room where Blizzard workers allegedly harassed women.

Horizon Forbidden West set for release on February 18, 2022

Sony rebrands their Marvel movies as Sony’s Spider-Man Universe

Plans have been in place for awhile to tie all of Sony’s comic book properties together, and in May of last year it was announced that the franchise would be known as the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, which isn’t really a catchy or efficient title. The studio has now announced an official rebrand for the effort titled Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

Sony’s current deal with Marvel Studios only includes Spider-Man: No Way Home and one MCU film to be named later. Regardless, it’s possible that Sony’s MCU contract could still be renewed for additional movies. Holland’s contract with Sony and Marvel expires after No Way Home, so it’s likely that the next batch of negotiations will result in the actor jumping between the MCU and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, given that his character’s name is right in the branding.

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe is currently only one movie old, with Venom the sole effort that’s managed to hit theaters so far. Venom: Let There Be Carnage will mark the second installment, while Jared Leto’s Morbius will premiere on January 28 next year, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Kraven the Hunter coming on January 13, 2023.

Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop gets first look images and premiere date

Netflix has revealed the first look images of John Cho and the rest of the main cast for their upcoming adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, as well as announcing a premiere date of Friday, November 19th.

Based on Shinichir? Watanabe’s cult anime series, Cowboy Bebop follows a group of misfit bounty hunters, led by Spike Spiegel as they search for the galaxy’s most valuable criminals. Mustafa Shakir also stars as Spike’s trusted co-pilot Jet Black and Daniella Pineda as the highly-skilled bounty hunter Faye Valentine.

Netflix’s images also reveal the Bebop in its mechanical glory, as well as Ein, the experiment-turned-pet Corgi.

Brandon Routh will star in the Magic: The Gathering series

Netflix’s animated Magic: The Gathering series is running full-steam ahead. Set to premiere in late 2022, Brandon Routh has been announced to lead the voice cast.

Picked up straight to series in June 2019, the show unites familiar and well-loved Planeswalkers for Magic fans and introduces new characters to tell a new story. Routh will voice the role of Gideon, an unfalteringly heroic Planeswalker in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse.

Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams to debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Dominque Thorne has joined the cast of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. For those unfamiliar, Thorne had previously been announced as the actor who will be playing Riri Williams for the hero’s self-titled Ironheart series coming to Disney+.

In an interview surrounding the release of Shang-Chi, Kevin Feige said, “We’re shooting Black Panther: Wakanda Forever right now, and the character of Riri Williams, you will meet in Black Panther 2 first.”

In the Marvel Comics universe, Riri Williams is a teen-aged engineering genius who designs her own version of an Iron Man suit. After using the armor to stop two escaped prison inmates, Tony Stark reaches out to her and gives her his blessing to become the armored hero Ironheart.

Black Canary movie in development with Jurnee Smollett to reprise role

A Black Canary movie from writer Misha Green is in early development at HBO Max.

Jurnee Smollett will reprise her role as Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary, who was first introduced in last year’s Birds of Prey movie. The character was depicted as a burlesque singer who rescues Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn from an attempted abduction and later becomes the driver for crime lord Black Mask.

It’s unclear whether Green will direct the Black Canary film as well, or merely write the script, but either way, the project is a long way off, as Green has several other projects in the works that she must tend to first. Green and Smollett previously indicated that they’d love to further explore the character of Black Canary while doing press for their HBO series Lovecraft Country, which was abruptly canceled after one season.

Joe and Anthony Russo exit Magic: The Gathering series

Netflix’s CG-animated series adaptation of the popular tabletop trading-card game Magic: The Gathering has shifted creative teams. The project was originally announced in 2019 with Joe and Anthony Russo at the helm, however, Deadline is reporting that the Russos and their team departed early in the process over different visions for how best to adapt the IP. The parting was amicable, and Netflix has now tapped Jeff Kline of Transformers: Prime.

Kline will oversee the creation of an all-new storyline and expand on the stories of the Planeswalkers, Magic’s unique magic-wielding heroes and villains. The Russos met with Kline to create a seemless transition between their teams. The animation will be done by Snowball Studios, taking over for the originally announced Bardel Studio.

WWE 2K22 to release next March

At WWE SummerSlam, 2K Games released a new trailer for its upcoming game WWE 2K22, while also confirming a launch window of March 2022, with platforms yet to be announced.

The game was originally announced back in April at WrestleMania, and this is the first update we’ve received since then. It looks like this trailer will have to tide us over for a while, as further information won’t be revealed until January.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition announced

Bethesda is releasing yet another edition of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, this time to celebrate the title’s 10th anniversary. Skyrim: Anniversary Edition will be available for the PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, and PlayStation 4 on November 11, 2021, exactly 10 years after the game was first released in 2011. PlayStation 5 owners will be able to play the PS4 version through backwards compatibility.

The Anniversary edition contains the full game, along with all three of its expansions, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. It has all the enhancements that came out with the Special Edition, the remaster Bethesda released back in 2016.

The game also comes with new features, including a fishing mechanic, as well as 500 pieces of Creation Club content, quests, dungeons, bosses, weapons and spells unique to this version. However, Bethesda has yet to release details about those new features, so players may have to wait for more information to figure out if the game is worth another purchase?.

Fast & Furious 10 will once again be directed by Justin Lin, who will also serve as the director for the final installment, with Chris Morgan attached to pen the script. Even though the official cast hasn’t been announced, it’s highly likely that the main cast will return to reprise their respective roles.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe reboot series premiere date

Netflix has released the first trailer and announced a September 16 premiere date for its new CG animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. This is the second of Netflix’s MOTU series, with this one being aimed at a younger audience than Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation.

The new series reimagines the classic story of the Guardians of Grayskull, with the official synopsis reading: In Eternia, the first planet of creation, a demonic tyrant rises: Skeletor! With dark armies at his command, Skeletor is on the march, hell-bent on capturing Eternia’s kingdoms, and its ultimate prize – Castle Grayskull, the ancient fortress of mystery said to contain the greatest power in the universe.

It’s Master vs. Dark Master, He-Man vs. Skeletor – fighting for control of Eternia, Castle Grayskull, and the fate of us all. In the end, who will become Master of the Universe?

Manifest might get resurrected for Season 4

For Manifest fans, the recent cancellation of the series meant leaving questions that might never get answered, but recent news brings hope for the former NBC show.

Deadline is reporting that producing studio Warner Bros TV is in the home stretch of complex negotiations with Netflix about a Season 4 order for the sci-fi drama, as the show has been topping the streamer’s viewership charts since June. Because of its newfound success, WBTV has already started making deals with the cast and writers for its potential revival.

However, it’s stressed that the negotiations between Netflix and Warner Bros. TV are difficult because of factors involving Netflix wanting to also acquire the global rights to all Manifest seasons. This is an issue since the studio has already sold the series to international markets.

Manifest centered around a commercial airplane that mysteriously disappears, only to reappear five years later. While no time had passed for those on board, the world went on without them, and new mysteries unfold for the passengers as they seek to find answers as to how and why their plane disappeared years ago.
