A new trailer for The Mandalorian season three has dropped. The new-look teaser features Jedi and a trip to Mandalore. It’s also the first look at some of the forthcoming threats featured in the latest Star Wars series.

The teaser for the latest installation of The Mandalorian story premiered during an NFL Super Wild Card game on Monday evening via ESPN and ABC Network.

Opening with the words, “Our people are scattered like stars in the galaxy,” the trailer picks up with bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) being reunited with his tiny friend Grogu. The latte is exhibiting some serious Force powers.

In the teaser, we also get a look at Mandalorian home planet Mandalore. This is where Din and Grogu are travelling to in order to restore the bounty hunter’s honour.

Elsewhere, we also get a glimpse of planet Coruscant and a pair of Anzellan creatures.

The third season of John Favreau’s Mandalorian will take place following the events of The Book of Boba Fett.

It sees actors Katee Sackhoff, Giancarlo Esposito and Carl Weathers reprising their roles as Bo-Katan, Moff Gideon and Greef Karga, respectively.

Excitingly, Variety also reports that Book of Boba Fett stars Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen will be appearing in The Mandalorian season three.

Alongside Favreau, David Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson and Rick Famuyiwa are all credited as executive producers on the show. Lucasfilm is producing the series while the Greek Karga actor will also be directing an episode. 

The Mandalorian season three will premiere via Disney+ on March 1. However, you can watch the new teaser trailer below.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania will be the first two Disney/Marvel cinematic releases in China since 2019.

According to Deadline, Black Panther 2 will hit Chinese cinemas on February 7. This is three months after its release in North America/Europe.

Ant-Man 3 will then premiere just ten days later on February 17. This is in keeping with the North American release date. It also means fans won’t have to wait months to see Evangeline Lilly, Jonathan Majors and Paul Rudd in action.

There hasn’t been a Marvel movie release in China since 2019

Interestingly, there hasn’t been a title featuring a Marvel character released in China since 2019.

The penultimate movie before the three-and-a-half-year gap was Avengers: Endgame. This was then followed two months later by Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.

At the time of writing, six Marvel movies have missed a premier in China. These are Black Widow (2021), Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021), Eternals (2021), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). 

The country could be looking to breathe life back into the box office

So, why the return of Marvel after so long? According to Deadline, one of the reasons the MCU is back could be because of recent Chinese box office statistics.

The Chinese box office reportedly made $4.35 billion in 2022. That’s an estimated 36% drop since 2021.

Only a select few Hollywood tentpoles premiered across the country in 2022. This could be the main reason for the takings drop.

With China wanting to rejuvenate their box office takings, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania will herald the return of the MCU to the country this year.

UK Black Panther 2 fans, the film will be available to stream via Disney+ on February 1. Ant-Man 3 will then hit cinemas worldwide on February 17.

Actor Angela Bassett becomes the first actor to earn a major award for a Marvel movie after winning a Golden Globe for her performance as Queen Ramonda in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’. 

On Tuesday evening, Bassett took home the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. She beat Kerry Condon, Dolly De Leon, Carey Mulligan and Jamie Lee Curtis to the award.

She’s the first woman to ever be nominated for acting in a superhero film. She’s also the third person to win.

What other superhero movie actors have previously been nominated for a Golden Globe?

Before Bassett, only four superhero movie actors have been nominated for a Golden Globe.

In 1989, Jack Nicholson was nominated in the best musical/comedy category for his work on Batman. In 2016, Ryan Reynolds was nominated in the same category for his performance as Deadpool. 

Elsewhere, Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix were also nominated and subsequently won big for their roles as the Joker in 2008 and 2019.

However, the Joker is a DC Comics character. Therefore, this means that Bassett is the first Marvel actor to win big at the annual awards show. 

Has Angela Bassett won an award for Queen Ramonda before?

This is also the second time that Bassett has earned an award for playing Queen Ramonda.

In 2018, she was part of the award-winning 2018 Black Panther group which won Best Ensemble at the SAG Awards.

During her acceptance speech, Bassett thanked Marvel fans for “embracing these characters and showing us so much love”.

She also gave thanks for the Black Panther: Wakana Forever cast being allowed to mourn, love and heal following the death of Chadwick Boseman. 

“We embarked on this journey together with love… we were surrounded each and every day by the light and spirit of Chadwick Boseman,” she said.

She then finished by saying, “we have joy in knowing that with this historic ‘Black Panther’ series. It is a part of his legacy that he helped to lead us. We showed the world what Black unity, leadership and love look like, behind and in front of the camera.”

Tuesday evening’s Golden Globe win was Bassett’s second of her career. In 1993, she took home the trophy for the best actress in a musical or comedy. This was for 1993’s Tina Turner biopic, ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’.

Actor Jeremy Renner is apparently out of surgery following an accident with a snowplough over the weekend. His condition reportedly remains critical, meaning he is still in intensive care.

According to BBC News, Marvel actor Renner has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries while clearing snow outside his home in Nevada, US. His publicist Samantha Mast said that these injuries forced Renner into intensive care. 

She stated to US media on Monday 2 January, “Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him,”

According to Mast, the Renner family is also, “tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from [Renners] fans.”

How did Jeremy Renner’s snow plough accident happen?

Renner’s injuries come after clearing snow outside his home in Nevada. He was reportedly using his snowplough on New Year’s Day, which caused trauma and injury to his body. 

According to TMZ, the plough ran over one of the actor’s legs. A neighbour told the publication that this then caused major blood loss, forcing Renner to undergo surgery.

At this moment in time, he is thought to be the only person involved in the accident. However, BBC says that Washoe County Sheriff’s office will still be investigating the incident.

Previous to his accident, Renner tweeted about the sheer amount of snow at his Nevada home. He wrote in December that, “Lake Tahoe snowfall is no joke.”

He also previously shared a video of himself driving. The caption reads, “Monday  morning Pre winter preparation couldn’t be more fun!!”

What has Jeremy Renner acted in?

Renner is well-known for starring as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s played the bow-wielding Clint Barton since 2011 when he first appeared in Thor. 

Outside of the MCU, the Oscar-nominated actor has credits in The Hurt Locker, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and also the newly-released Paramount+ series The Mayor Of Kingstown.

Here at FragHero, we’re wishing Renner a speedy recovery.

The 8BitDo Ultimate is exactly what it says on the tin; the culmination of the hardware company’s innovations in third party game controllers. After a series of other successful gamepads, such as the Lite 2 that works well with 2D games and the Pro 2 for console games, the Ultimate encompasses the best “all-in-one” design that 8BitDo has achieved so far.

Despite its PC and Android-only compatibility, the Ultimate takes much of its inspiration from the design of Xbox’s current range of first-party controllers, including ABXY face buttons, asymmetrical thumbsticks, and comfortable padded grips. Additionally, it includes two back buttons as well as the ability to remap each key to a different function.

But the part of the Ultimate controller I was most impressed with was the D-Pad, which actually feels like how a D-Pad is supposed to. For years, I’ve been sick of Microsoft messing around with the Xbox controller’s D-Pad design. The One’s was a massive improvement over the insultingly uncomfortable 360 controller directional control, but then the most recent Series X/S controller nerfed that back to what it felt like before.

Thankfully, the 8BitDo Ultimate does away with the silly fancy design directional pads have taken in the last few years in favour of a more robust presentation. It’s actually a lot easier to hit each button and you’ll feel a lot more comfortable doing so.

But despite the inspiration feeling very Xbox-centric, the Ultimate’s thumbsticks take a lot more from the DualSense PS5 controller. They’re a lot more comfortable, lighter, and have much more distinct deadzones.You can even adjust them for higher control over your precision, which comes in handy for specific games that may require accurate movement.

The same can be said for the triggers and bumpers, which feel very “PlayStation-like” in their design. They’re angled in such a way that makes it easy for your fingers to rest on, and very responsive for when you do need to use them. Similarly, the bumpers are soft at the touch and don’t sound as “clicky” as other controllers are famous for.

I tested the Ultimate with 10 different games; Elden Ring, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Spider-Man Remastered, Hitman 3, Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Yakuza 0. 

In that time, I found the controller shined best with 3D games featuring lots of keys and macros such as Hitman and Yakuza. I was able to map some of the more complicated button combos to the back buttons which helped to alleviate the stress of remembering the exact combination. This also applied to Elden Ring and Spider-Man Remastered, which also have certain features that best fit the two additional buttons where your fingers rest.

The controller also performed well in Call of Duty, where pixel-perfect accuracy is sometimes necessary to rack up kills during a multiplayer match. It was here I could take advantage of being able to tweak the precise motion of the thumbsticks, allowing me to perfect my aim during an intense Team Deathmatch.

PDP Nintendo Switch Comic Attack Rematch Controller Review

On the other hand, the Ultimate isn’t as suitable for 2D games such as Hollow Knight and Celeste. By default, movement on these games is mapped to the thumbstick. But even after remapping them to the D-Pad (for more precise X and Y movement), I just felt like there are better options out there. 8BitDo even has really solid alternatives for 2D games like the Lite and SN30 Pro devices, which are probably a better fit if you’re going to be playing a lot of platformers and side-scrollers.

8bitdo ultimate – WHICH DEVICE SHOULD I GET?

The Ultimate comes in three different formats; Bluetooth, Wireless and Wired. The wired version comes with a USB cable attached to the back. Unlike the PDP range of controllers which connect with a detachable USB-C cable, the Ultimate Wired’s is attached with no way to remove it. This will leave it vulnerable to long-term damage if stored improperly, so any buyers who go for this cheaper version of the gamepad need to take proper care of it.

The 2.4G Wireless version, which is the controller I tested, removes the cable in favour of a dongle you can use to pair with your devices. The distance you can connect to the controller is short; which might be tricky if you’re like me and want to connect your PC to the big TV in the other room, but will work for most modest distances you find yourself gaming in.

Finally, there’s also a Bluetooth variant, which now lets you connect without the dongle. This is the most expensive version of the Ultimate Controller, but ends up being the best bang for your buck. Not only does it include a dongle, in case your device doesn’t support bluetooth, but that functionality also allows you to connect to Nintendo Switch in both docked and undocked modes. As an added benefit, the Bluetooth also has a much higher battery life (roughly 25 play hours opposed to the Wireless’ 15 hours).

In the end, I found the Wireless Controller to be the best middle ground between affordability and functionality. It’s a bit more awkward to pair with mobile devices, and you’ll be sacrificing Switch compatibility and a better battery life, but it’s still one of the most impressive 3rd party controllers I’ve ever used.

To put it simply, the 8BitDo Wireless Ultimate Controller is one of the best third-party gamepads you can get these days. Not only is it cheaper than the more expensive first-party Xbox controller (£54.99 RRP) that is a keen favourite of PC gamers, but it actually feels a lot lighter and more comfortable than its counterpart.

Final Score: 10/10

It’s here that the word “Ultimate” isn’t just used as a marketing gimmick, but is an evolution of everything 8BitDo has done right with its past controllers. Even as an avid controller collector, I’d happily go on record to say this is my favourite to use at the moment and will probably go down as one of 8BitDo’s best releases ever.

PDP is an officially-licensed game controller manufacturer and its new Nintendo Switch Comic Attack is affordable and customisable, making it the best Christmas gift for gamers.

I’ve been playing with PDP‘s Comic Attack Rematch Controller for the Nintendo Switch for the past few weeks, and I have to say it’s a fantastic addition to any gaming setup. Not only is it comfortable to hold in your palms, but it’s also got a number of features that help it stand out from the competition.

One such standout feature is the controller’s non-slip grips. It has a textured surface that provides a secure grip, which is helpful for the long amounts of time you’ll be playing. This is especially useful for players who tend to get sweaty palms during intense gaming sessions.

The curved triggers and shoulder buttons are another great feature of PDP’s controller. This design allows your hands to adopt a more comfortable stance, which can help prevent fatigue over longer sessions. These buttons are also incredibly responsive and provide a satisfying tactile feedback, making them a joy to use.

The back paddles located on the back of the controller are another superb feature, as they can be mapped to any key, allowing you to assign different functions to them depending on the game you’re playing. This feature is for players who want to have more control at their fingertips, and assists greatly for games that require different combos.

PDP Afterglow Wave & Rematch Controller Review

I also really love the Comic Attack’s function button, which can be used in a variety of ways. By pressing it in conjunction with the back paddles, you can change the button mapping to suit your personal preferences. You can also use the function button in with the up and down buttons on the control stick to adjust the headset volume, or you can double tap it to quickly mute your microphone. It simply adds more degrees of customisation to your experience.

But far beyond that, the Comic Attack also has a number of other notable features. One of these is its removable faceplate, which allows you to easily swap out the default faceplate for another one. This is a neat feature for players who want to customise the look of their controller, or for those who want to use different faceplates for different games.

Another feature that I appreciated about the Comic Attack is the headset jack, which allows me to use my favourite gaming headset with the controller. The function button can be used to adjust the volume, and pressing up or down on the control stick allows me to easily change the volume on the fly. This is a convenient feature that allows me to enjoy my games with high-quality audio.

Despite its many strengths, the PDP Nintendo Switch Comic Attack Rematch controller does have some drawbacks to keep the costs down. One of the most notable is the lack of rumble functionality. This may not be a deal breaker for everyone, but for those who enjoy the added immersion that rumble provides, it is definitely something to consider. After all there are some games, such as Super Mario Odyssey and Skyrim, which feature creative uses of rumble that you may miss.

This also means the controller doesn’t have NFC functionality, where you can’t use the controller to interact with certain NFC-enabled items, such as Amiibo figures. For those who enjoy using their Amiibos with their Switch, it is worth noting you may need to have an alternative at hand.

Another potential drawback is its button layout. The “Home” and “Capture” buttons are located on the top of the controller, which can be inconvenient to reach during gameplay, and may throw you off if you’re too used to the original Switch Pro controller. It would be more intuitive if these buttons were swapped with the “Plus” and “Minus” buttons.

The controller is also wired, which means it doesn’t require batteries or charging. While some players may prefer the convenience of going wireless, the wired design offers the advantage of having no input lag and being much lighter to hold.

If you’re all about the aesthetics, the Comic Attack also looks really cool thanks to its graphic face design; featuring Mario, Luigi, and Bowser on the front. It also has a plain-white colour scheme that matches the Nintendo Switch OLED, making it a suitable aesthetic match for the system.

Similarly, another neat visual trick of the controller is the LED light-up “Home” button to show that it’s connected. This is a nice touch that adds additional visual flair to the controller, and makes it easy to tell at a glance whether it is connected or not.

Overall, the PDP Comic Attack Rematch is a well-designed controller that is comfortable, customisable, and fun to use. Although it arrives with some shortcomings, such as an awkward button layout and limited wired design, overall the affordable price point and convenient features make it worth a purchase for those Switch gamers seeking a new controller.

In time for the festive season, a new trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has dropped.

The teaser shows familiar faces Miles Morales and Gwen Stacey, as well as new characters voiced by Issa Rae and Daniel Kaluuya.

A post shared by Spider-Verse (@spiderversemovie)

For those that don’t know, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the sequel to 2018’s award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The first film introduced Miles Morales and Gwen Stacey as two of the many Spider-people scattered across the multiverse.

Originally, the animated multiverse movie was set to be released in October 2022. However, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will now premiere in cinemas in June 2023. 

What characters feature in the new Spider-Man trailer?

In the showcase, we are reunited with main characters Miles Morales, Gwen Stacey and Peter B. Parker. The trio are voiced by Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld and also Jake Johnson, respectively.

Elsewhere, we are also treated to a glimpse of some new faces. These include Miguel O’Hara, AKA Spider-Man 2099 (voiced by Oscar Isaac), Jessica Drew, AKA Spider-Woman (voiced by Issa Rae) and Hobie Brown, AKA Spider-Punk. 

The trailer also features even more Spider-Man cameos. These include The Bombastic Bag-Man, PlayStation’s Spider-Man and also the Mangaverse Spider-Man. There’s even a tribute to Spider-Man’s creator, Stan Lee, too!

Multiple multiverse visits are on the horizon

As well as a plethora of new characters, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will also feature a staggering six animation styles.

As each animation style is unique – can we expect to visit at least six different Spider-Verses during the movie? Here’s hoping! 

The movie is the first of two parts. The second part, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, will hit cinemas on March 29, 2024. 

So, are you excited about the new movie? Let us know your thoughts across our socials. You can watch the new trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse below.

Officially-licenced game controller manufacturer PDP’s new Xbox range is affordable and customisable, making it an accessible Christmas gift for low income gamers.

The PDP Afterglow Wave and Rematch controllers for Xbox are the latest in the tech manufacturer’s lineup of console gaming hardware. They’re compatible with Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Windows PC devices, although with some tinkering you can also get them to work on certain mobile devices.

Although both controllers are considered separate products, they are both designed similarly enough that we felt splicing them together into a single, coherent article was the best way to review them.

So let’s first talk about how they feel. Due to the lack of wireless capabilities, both PDP controllers are extremely light. Due to this, they’re comfortable to hold and easy to grip unlike the first-party options that Microsoft offers. The shape and size of the controllers are very much similar to these alternatives, so your storage choices for gaming devices will also work for these gamepads.

Although it’s a cheap controller, the hardware feels sturdy and unlikely to fall apart unlike many other third-party controllers on the market. The backside of the Afterglow Wave also comes with a nice padded texture that feels comfortable to hold, and prevents the controller from slipping out of your hands during a particularly intense gaming session. However, the Rematch’s surface feels a lot smoother and I had a few occasions where the controller would slip out of my grip. 

Unfortunately, the controllers’ buttons aren’t as enjoyable as the design. The face buttons (A, B, X, Y) are a little harder to push compared to the official gamepad, and the centre menu buttons also feel particularly cheap. The thumbsticks are also extremely clicky and feel quite rigid when you’re inputting a “click + move” interaction. They don’t necessarily feel as good as the official Xbox controllers.

The triggers and bumpers also suffer from a similar problem where there’s a very audible pressing sound every time you squeeze them. I like how the triggers feel at least, as this is probably the closest match to official designs as we get with this controller. The bumpers on the other hand, are much longer and feel a little awkward to press during play.

Then we have the D-Pad, which I’m also not a fan of. It’s too flat and indistinguishable. During regular gameplay, I found myself having to look down at the controller to work out which button the D-Pad I was hovering over.

A brand new addition to these PDP controllers is the inclusion of two back paddles that sit on the grips where your middle and ring fingers usually rest. These buttons default to A and B, but can be programmed to any button you choose. Because of my issues with the bumpers and thumbsticks, I switched to having them utilise those functions of the controller which is where the controller really shined for me.

There is a smaller issue with these though in that these buttons are placed in such a way that it’s easy to accidentally press them either during gameplay or even just when it’s resting in your palms. It’s not fun to be watching a game’s cutscene and then having it suddenly skip because you pushed the back button by mistake.

But still, overall it is a controller that does exactly what you need to at a reduced price. And it’s a sign of how far third-party controllers have come. I remember gamepads of a similar calibre back in the day would have their wires attached directly to the controller, whereas this range uses USB-C, allowing less room for breakage. 

Perhaps the best part of these controllers is how adjustable they are using third-party software. The PDP Control app allows you to tweak different aspects of the controller to suit your needs. For example, this allows you to alter the deadzones of the thumbsticks, meaning you can decide how hard or lightly you need to push them to register movement during gameplay.

The app also affects features such as volume when using a headset, as well as reprogramming any buttons to an alternative function. Although this is a fantastic accessibility feature that all controllers need to support, it’s worth noting that Xbox already allows you to do this natively within the operating system for any of its controllers.

Altogether, it’s nice to have a controller that lets you configure the finer details with pinpoint precision using a third-party app. As much as I love first-party controllers, they often come with the stipulation that you’re not going to be able to tweak everything. But PDP’s latest range eliminates that fear.

At £30 for the Rematch and £40 for the Afterglow Wave, these two Xbox controllers are a suitable and accessible alternative to the more expensive first party options provided by Microsoft. If you’re on a low income but need a new controller for your gaming, you definitely need to give this a shot. While they may feel a little cheaper, this is more than made up for with the ability to tweak the function on your controller on the go.

Actor David Tennant reveals he was originally in the running to be cast as James Bond, before ultimately losing out on the role to Daniel Craig.

Appearing on the Acting For Others podcast, Tennant said that he only recently learned that he was considered for the iconic role.

“I never believed I had [been in the running for James Bond] until I worked with a director recently who had worked with the Broccolis who said, ‘Yeah, you were on the list that time.’

“I was like, ‘What time? What are you talking about?’ He went, ‘Yeah, the last time.’

“I suppose it must have been Daniel Craig, before that I would have been a child.”

It’s thought then that in 2006, Tennant was considered to take over the James Bond mantel from Pierce Brosnan. 

However, the role obviously landed in Craig’s camp. The latter went on to play 007 for the next 15 years.

Craig’s last outing as James Bond was in 2021’s No Time to Die. He starred alongside Rami Malek, Ana de Armas and Lashana Lynch.

David Tennant as Doctor Who

Instead of taking over the 007 role, Tennant instead went on to star in Doctor Who. He portrayed the tenth doctor from Christmas Day 2006 until New Year’s Day 2010. He was then succeeded by Matt Smith.  

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Tennant would be returning to Doctor Who in series 14. It follows the departure of Jodie Whitaker from the role.

Tennant is also set to reunite with Catherine Tate, who played Donna Noble in the fourth series of the show. This appearance coincides with Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary.

It will be the actor’s first appearance on the show since 2013’s ‘The Day of the Doctor’ 50th-anniversary special.

Elsewhere, the 14th series of Doctor Who will introduce Ncuti Gatwa to the Whoniverse. The Sex Education actor is taking over the role of The Doctor from Whitaker.

Just think, if Tennant had been cast as James Bond, we would never have experienced the golden age of Doctor Who!

A new report claims that Warner Bros want Henry Cavill to return as Superman in a film that “would essentially be Man of Steel 2”.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, DC producer Charles Roven is already attached to Man of Steel 2. Roven’s credits include Wonder Woman, The Suicide Squad and the first Man of Steel movie. 

/Film say that apparently, “conversations are currently happening to get Cavill back as Superman,”

However, at the time of writing, Cavill’s return and Roven’s involvement in Man of Steel 2 are yet to be officially announced. 

Cavill has repeatedly expressed his desire to return as Superman. However, the actor currently has a pretty packed schedule – what with working on The Witcher, Enola Holmes and The Rosie Project amongst others. 

Cavill hasn’t played Superman since 2017 when he appeared in Justice League. We’re obviously not counting his role in the 2021 Snyder Cut of the same movie.

James Gunn also reportedly wants some DCEU action

Elsewhere in the report, THR states that Peacemaker’s writer-director James Gunn wants to get involved with new DC projects.

A source told the outlet that “Gunn and producer Peter Safran are in talks with Warners for a mystery movie, possibly more, that Gunn would tackle.”

Safran is already on the DC books, having been a producer on Shazam! (2019) and its 2023 sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Furthermore, Safran also has producer credits on Aquaman and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

When will we see the return of Henry Cavill’s Superman?

So, could Cavill return as Superman for Man of Steel 2? While we have no solid confirmation, it seems likely given the actor’s outspoken love for the role. 

Cavill first appeared as Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel. Since then, he’s also played the character of Clark Kent in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s Justice League. 

We’re sure to let you know when more DCEU and Superman news arises.

American director, Martin Scorsese is reportedly helming a television adaptation of The Gangs of New York. 

As reported by Deadline, Herbert Ashbury’s 1927 book is officially coming to the small screen. The celebrated non-fiction book documents the rise and fall of New York City gangs in the late 19th century.

The idea for the TV adaptation was first coined in 2013. Then, Scorsese was also linked.

On the 2013 version, the director said, “This time and era of America’s history is rich with characters and stories that we could not fully explore in a two-hour film.”

Twenty years later, however, it looks like the premise is finally becoming a reality.

Back on board once again, Scorsese will sit in the forthcoming TV show’s executive producer role.

He will also be directing the first two episodes of The Gangs of New York series.

The upcoming television show will also be the second time that Scorsese has worked on an adaptation of Ashbury’s book. The first was the 2002 movie, Gangs of New York.

The Oscar-winning drama starred Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio alongside Daniel Day-Lewis. 

The one and only Scorsese sat in the director’s chair while Jay Cocks, Steven Zaillian and Kenneth Lonergan were charged with turning Ashbury’s book into thrilling movie magic.

Killers of the Flower Moon movie

While you wait with bated breath for The Gangs of New York series, why not get acquainted with Scorsese’s next project, Killers of the Flower Moon?

The movie, based on David Grann’s book of the same name, stars DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. Elsewhere, you’ll find Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone and Brendon Fraser on the cast list.

Killers of the Flower Moon is a crime-drama set in 1920s Oklahoma. It has been written by Scorsese and also Eric Roth. The film is set to premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2023 and will be heading straight to Apple TV+.

At the time of writing, The Gangs of New York TV series is yet to be given a release date.

Liam Neeson is apparently in negotiations to star in a Naked Gun reboot with director Akiva Schaffer calling the shots.

The original police spoof trilogy was created by David Zucker, his brother Jerry and also Jim Abrahams.

The late Leslie Nielsen starred in the movie as the protagonist, Lieutenant Frank Drebin.

The first Naked Gun was released in 1988 while its two sequels The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear and Naked Gunn 33 1/3: The Final Insult, were released in 1991 and 1994. All were considered commercial successes, but nothing could beat the original.

Now, however, with Schaffer officially coming aboard as director, it’s looking like The Naked Gun reboot is finally happening after 10 years’ worth of rumours. Schaffer is probably best known for working on the underrated Lonely Island movies.

Since reboot rumours first started circulating, there’s been a trio of names attached. These are The Hangover’s Ed Helms, Seth MacFarlane and now Neesan.

However, according to Deadline, Neeson is reportedly in talks to play Frank Drebin’s son, rather than reprise the role of the Lieutenant himself. 

As per the Guardian, Neesan reportedly said, “It’ll either finish my career or bring it in another direction. I honestly don’t know.”

Who is writing the Naked Gun reboot film?

Elsewhere, Chip ’n’ Dale Rescue Rangers writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand have also signed up for the project.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane along with Erica Huggins has also been announced to be producing the reboot via their production company, Fuzzy Door.

At this moment in time, plot details and a cast list for The Naked Gun reboot have yet to be revealed.

Deadpool 3, Avengers: Secret Wars, Fantastic Four and Blade have all had their release dates delayed. This follows the news of Marvel Studios pressing a pause on the production of the latter.

It’s the news MCU fans did not want to hear. Four upcoming Marvel Studios movies have had their release dates pushed back.

The rescheduling announcement comes as part of Disney’s wider release reshuffle. 

Here are the new MCU Phase 6 release dates

Firstly, Blade will now be released on September 6 2024. This is instead of November 2 2023.

That however clashes with Deadpool 3’s original release date. So, the latter will now premier on November 8 2024 instead.

Fantastic Four moves from its original slot on November 8 2024 to February 14 2025. This apparently displaces an Untitled Marvel Movie, which will now release on November 7 2025.

Avengers: Secret Wars has also been rescheduled for cinema screenings on May 1 2026. It was originally set to see the light of day on November 7 2025.

And finally, an Untitled Marvel Movie has been removed from the schedule. This is due to Avengers: Secret Wars displacing it.

Other movies outside of the MCU have also been included in the Disney date reshuffle. These include Chevalier, A Haunting in Venice and also Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. 

These pushed-back dates mean that MCU Phase 6 is now likely to begin in 2025. It will then conclude in 2026.

Marvel Studios has paused Blade production in Atlanta

At this stage, there may be multiple reasons why these MCU projects have been pushed back. However, it may have something to do with the troubles plaguing Blade.

Earlier this month, Bassam Ratiq departed from the director’s chair. Marvel Studios then announced he would instead become an executive producer on the project. 

There have also been reports of script rewrites from scratch and also that Blade star Mahershala Ali is unhappy with production.

However, it seems that Marvel Studios being unable to find a replacement director fast enough is what has caused a pause in production.

Everything we know about the MCU Phase 6

So far, we’ve heard some big news regarding Deadpool 3, Avengers: Secret Wars and Fantastic Four.

In September it was revealed that Hugh Jackman will be returning as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. Both Wolverine and the titular character, played by Ryan Reynolds, will be making their MCU debuts in November 2024.

Furthermore, WandaVision director Matt Shakman was revealed as the Fantastic Four’s director earlier this year.

Elsewhere, Destin Daniel Cretton is officially at the helm of Avengers: Kang Dynasty.

It’s also worth mentioning that this movie isn’t named in the new MCU release dates. As of writing, Avengers: Kang Dynasty will still release on May 2 2025.

And finally, in Avengers: Secret Wars news. It was announced that Michael Waldron will be taking writing credits. You may know the latter for his work on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Loki. 

So, there are lots to look forward to in the next four years. However, it looks like you’ll just have to wait a bit longer for it.

The next MCU film to release is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The sequel will hit local cinemas and also IMAX on November 11 2022.

Disney’s new release date reshuflle:

Chevalier: April 27 2023
A Haunting in Venice: September 15 2023
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: May 24 2024
Deadpool 3: November 8 2024
Fantastic Four: February 14 2025
Untitled Marvel Movie: November 7 2025
Avengers: Secret Wars: May 1 2026
Untitled Marvel Movie: Removed from the schedule

Marvel Studios has paused work on the upcoming Blade movie. This is in order to continue their search for a new director.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios has put the break on Blade by ceasing all production-related activity.

However, this is just a temporary pause in production. As of right now, there are no official Blade cancellation statements being made.

Bassam Ratiq leaves director’s chair

This news comes just weeks after the studios announced that Bassam Ratiq had left the director’s chair.

At the time of Tariq’s departure, Marvel Studios said to The Hollywood Reporter, “Due to continued shifts in our production schedule, Bassam is no longer moving forward as director of Blade but will remain an executive producer on the film.”

The movie losing its director isn’t its only teething troubles

However, a departing director isn’t the least of Blade’s troubles.

Firstly, reports regarding script issues and rewrites have come to light. Also, star Mahershala Ali is recorded as unhappy with the production process. 

But, it is Marvel being unable to find a fast enough replacement for Bassam that has ultimately shut the vampire thriller down. 

The crew working on Blade were reportedly notified of the closure on Tuesday, October 10. So, not a huge amount of time to vacate the Atlanta set then?

Blade has a new 2024 release date

At the time of writing, Blade has also been shuffled in Disney’s release roster. 

Instead of the original 2 November 2023 date, MCU’s Blade movie will now premiere on 6 September 2024.

Alongisde Blade, Disney has also confirmed new release dates for more MCU films.

Deadpool 3 will now move from September 6 2024 to November 8 2024. Fantastic Four will move from November 8 2024 to February 14 2025. And then Avengers Secret Wars moves from 7 November 2025 to May 1 2026.

There’s no news on who will take over Blade directing duties just yet.

Writers on the project however include Moon Knight writer, Beau Demayo. The latter has apparently re-written the Blade script from scratch.

Watchmen creator Alan Moore says that superhero movies promote “infantilisation” in adults and that he is also “definitely done with comics”.

When it comes to superheroes, Moore has a rocky relationship.

Firstly, his limited drama series, Watchmen was used to satirising the idea of a hero. He also famously fell out with DC Comics in the late 80s. And, in 2020, he told IndieWire that superhero films were also “grotesque”.

Alan Moore’s interview with The Guardian

Now, in a recent interview with The Guardian, Moore has provided more opinions on the superhero film genre and also on comics themselves.

“Hundreds of thousands of adults [are] lining up to see characters and situations that had been created to entertain the 12-year-old boys – and it was always boys – of 50 years ago,” he says.

“I said around 2011 that I thought it had serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults were queueing up to see Batman movies,” Moore continues. “Because that kind of infantilisation – that urge towards simpler times, simpler realities – that can very often be a precursor to fascism.”

Have you seen Tim Burton’s Batman?

Furthermore, Moore also confirms that he hasn’t seen a superhero movie since Tim Burton’s original Batman (1989). 

“I don’t watch any of them. All of these characters have been stolen from their original creators. If you try to make them for the adult world… it becomes kind of grotesque.”

No Moore comic books

Moreover, Moore says he’s also “definitely done with comics”.

He says that despite always loving and also adoring the comics medium “the comics industry and all of the stuff attached to it just became unbearable.”

However, he also accepts accountability for creating these adult-appealing superheroes.

“I didn’t think that superheroes were adult fare…. I must put my hand up to a considerable share of the blame. Though it was not intentional – when things like Watchmen were first appearing.”

“There were an awful lot of headlines saying ‘Comics Have Grown Up’. I tend to think that no, comics hadn’t grown up,” he explains. “There were a few titles that were more adult than people were used to. But the majority of comics titles were pretty much the same as they’d ever been.”

So, we probably won’t see the 68-year-old at the premiere of Black Adam, Wakanda Forever or The Batman 2.

Instead of writing comics, Moore has moved into the world of short-story writing. His debut collection is titled Illuminations. It is available to purchase from Tuesday.

TwitchCon 2022 apparently featured a lack of accessibility access. A high-profile content creator was also reportedly injured at the event.

Over the weekend, TwitchCon 2022 took place in San Diego. It was the first real-life North American event since 2019.

The 2022 meet-up hosted cosplay showcases, esports areas and panels from Twitch creators. It was dubbed the “Ultimate Squad Up”.

Was TwitchCon 2022 worth it?

Sounds great, right? However, according to a bunch of TwitchCon goers, the event was a negative experience for some.

Twitter user @astraharaa has compiled a Twitter thread with its main purpose being to highlight “everything that went wrong at TwitchCon”.

Most of the Tweets in the thread are related to the conventions’ lack of disabled access while some also hint at the miscommunication between staff and convention goers too.

One user said accessibility lines for meet-and-greet sessions were closed early. Another said that the only way to get to the meet-and-greet hall was via stairs. This means that for wheelchair users, it was almost impossible to get there.

Furthermore, another user said they jostled in their wheelchair, which resulted in them having a panic attack. This was reportedly when they were trying to get to a panel.

“As a person with disabilities, I am not treated with respect by the staff and I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in TwitchCon. You’ve had a year to plan this,” they continued in a separate Twitter thread.

Employees apparently gave out false information

Elsewhere, it’s also been said that TwitchCon employees were apparently encouraging non-disabled attendees to get an accessibility sticker. This is so that people could get around areas quicker and also jump queues.

Employees are also accused of relaying false information. One Twitter user claimed that staff told them they could go up to the meet-and-greet areas before the convention opened for the day. However, upon arrival, they were made to leave.

A Twitch streamer was injured at the convention

Adding even more fuel to the fire, a Twitch streamer was apparently injured at the streaming convention.

Reportedly, due to jumping into the TwitchCon content creator foam pit, Twitch streamer, Adriana Checkik has broken her back. 

Chechik took to Twitter to say, “Well, I broke my back in two places and am getting surgery to put a meter rod in for support today. Send your support. When it rains it pours and I am definitely feeling the rain right now,”

No news yet of a statement from TwitchCon

Despite the negative experience of many TwitchCon attendees, the event organisers are yet to issue a statement and also haven’t acknowledged complaints at the time of writing. 

TwitchCon Paris 2023 has already been confirmed. A North American event will also be taking place in 2023. However, the city and state still remain under wraps. 

The reports from the event sound like havoc. Did you attend TwitchCon 2022 this year? Please let us know your thoughts!

Nintendo has announced an impromptu movie presentation which will premiere the first trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Bros movie. 

On Thursday, October 6, a Nintendo Direct presentation will take place via a livestream. The Direct will showcase The Super Mario Bros movie trailer and begin at 13:05 Pacific time / 16:05 Eastern time / 21:05 UK time. 

However, at the time of writing, is not known whether the Direct presentation will reveal anything other than the movie’s trailer.

However, we can speculate that some loose plot points will come to light. Hopefully, we will also get a chance to hear Anya Taylor-Joy or Chris Pratt in their voice actor roles. The pair will voice Peach and Mario.

The Super Mario Bros Movie Poster has been revealed

Ahead of the showcase, Nintendo has also put out a stellar Super Mario Bros film poster.

The poster itself pictures a bustling version of the Mushroom Kingdom, populated of course with multi-coloured Toads. Front and centre, the protagonist plumber of the upcoming animated film can also be seen.

Elsewhere on the poster, fans should be able to spot a Cheep Cheep sign, Peach’s Castle and a Yoshi egg.

There is so much more jam-packed onto this poster. It’s a cornucopia of Mario iconography.

What can we not expect from the Nintendo Direct?

Right now, we don’t 100% know what to expect from the Super Mario Bros film. But, ahead of the Nintendo Direct, we do know that no game information will be revealed.

In the Direct announcement tweet, Nintendo UK simply wrote, “Tune in at 21:05 (UK time) on 06/10 for a Nintendo Direct: The Super Mario Bros. Movie presentation including the world premiere trailer for the upcoming film (no game information will be featured).”

When will The Super Mario Bros movie be released?

The Super Mario Bros film was first announced in 2018. It was then slated to release in December 2022. However, due to delays, the movie will now hit cinemas in April 2023. 

The announced cast list includes Chris Pratt as Mario and Charlie Day as brother Luigi, as well as Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach. Keegan-Michael Key will also voice Toad while Jack Black and Seth Rogen will voice Bowser and Donkey Kong.

According to Leaving Las Vegas’ writer and director Mike Figgis, neither he nor Nicolas Cage received the $100K salary they should’ve earned by working on the 1995 film.

The revelation was made via It Happened in Hollywood. The latter is a podcast from The Hollywood Reporter.

“I never saw the money. I mean, Nicolas and I never got paid because they [Lumiere Pictures] said the film never went into profit.”

Lumiere Pictures made a profit from the Oscar-winning movie

However, according to Box Office Mojo, the film actually earned more than $32 million worldwide. Apparently, it also only cost Lumiere Pictures $4 million to film Leaving Las Vegas.

Adding in the fact that the writer-director and lead actor were reportedly never paid? That seems like a tidy profit, right? 

All’s Well That Ends Well

However, despite not ever receiving his $100,000 salary, Figgis seems to believe it’s all water under the bridge.

“Whatever. I mean, of course, my career then took off again. The next film I did, I got really well paid,” he says.

“And within a year [Cage] was earning $20 million a film, so that was quite good.”

The Filmography of Nicolas Cage

Following his Academy-award-winning role as suicidal alcoholic Ben Sanderson, Cage then went on to star in The Rock (1996), Con Air (1997) and Face/Off (1997). 

We also really liked Cage in Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse. But that’s a conversation for another day.

Furthermore, regarding Cage’s work on Leaving Las Vegas Figgis says, “Nick… eccentric dude though he is, he bankrolled the preproduction,”

“Essentially in a sense that he took a suite at the Chateau Marmont for us to rehearse. He rehearsed by getting drunk every night so he could get in the mode,” he continues.

“He was the heart and soul and put himself into this character and the whole production and was generous to everybody,” continues Figgis. 

What is Mike Figgis known for?

Despite never receiving his promised salary, the writer-director did receive Best Director and Best Screenplay Academy Award nominations.

His other notable works include Timecode (2000) and also Suspension of Disbelief (2012).

You can now listen to Figgis’ on the Leaving Las Vegas episode of It Happened in Hollywood. The podcast can be listened to via podcast platforms including Spotify.
