WandaVision Episode 4 Clip Teases a Very Different Episode, MCU Ties

Spoilers ahead for WandaVision. A new clip for the fourth episode of Disney+ reveals not only an extended look at the world outside of wherever Wanda and Vision have found themselves, but also includes a few familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The clip, which you can watch below, begins with Geraldine a.k.a. Monica Rambeau and Agent Jimmy Woo from Ant-Man and the Wasp outside of the "energy field" that WandaVision has been taking place in. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/28/marvels-wandavision-episode-4-extended-clip"] It also shows Agent Woo attempting to speak to Wanda through a radio and the return of Kat Dennings' Darcy Lewis, who was last seen in Thor: The Dark World. We then get a glimpse at S.W.O.R.D. profiles for each of the residents of Westview, besides Wanda and Vision. It may be important to note that all the residents have a New Jersey ID attached to their file, except for Kathryn Hahn's Agnes, who some think may be another MCU character we won't spoil here. Extended Clip _ Marvel Studios' WandaVision _ Disney+ 0-43 screenshot We learn that Mr. Hart's real name is Todd Davis and that Norm's real name is Abilash Tandon. Each file also has areas for "Occurrence #1," "Occurrence #2," and "Notes." Tandon's file also ends on a mysterious note, by saying "Abilash becomes Norm again." Could these citizens be part of S.W.O.R.D., or are they innocent bystanders who are also trapped in this version of Westview? At the end of WandaVision's third episode, Geraldine is thrown out of Westview following her mention of Pietro's death by the hands of Ultron to Wanda, and it appears that S.W.O.R.D. was there to rescue her. Was she playing a part to try to help Wanda and Vision, or was this place altering her mind and actually turning her into Geraldine? [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/wandavision-episode-3-the-real-story-behind-wandas-pregnancy-mcu-canon-fodder"] We won't have long to learn some more answers, as the next episode of WandaVision will debut on Disney+ tomorrow, January 29.

Marvel’s Avengers: Hawkeye Content to Be Revealed In New War Table Next Month

Marvel's Avengers next War Table will take place on February 16, 2021, and it will showcase both Hawkeye and the delayed PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. Announced by Marvel's Avengers on Twitter, Hawkeye and his Operation, Hawkeye - Future Imperfect, will be the next free big DLC content to be released following the arrival of Kate Bishop and her new Operation, Taking A.I.M. Hawkeye Hawkeye was the first post-launch hero revealed for Marvel's Avengers, and Bishop's Operation saw her embark on a rescue mission for Clint "Hawkeye" Barton by using a bridge through time to save him. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics had planned on having the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version ready earlier, but they were delayed "to ensure that we give our team the time to deliver a next-gen experience showcasing all that this game is meant to be." Although a report came out last year that said Marvel's Avengers hadn't yet recouped its development costs, these updates, as well as the upcoming PlayStation exclusive Spider-Man DLC, will hopefully help make 2021 a successful one for the game. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/19/marvels-avengers-kate-bishop-trailer"] Fans of Hawkeye have a lot more to look forward to, as a Hawkeye series is also in development for Disney+.

Bleeding Edge Will Get No New Content as Ninja Theory Focuses on Hellblade 2

Ninja Theory has announced that, with the studio now focusing on Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Project Mara, and The Insight Project, Bleeding Edge will receive no further content updates. Bleeding Edge's Twitter announced the news while also reassuring its fans that even though the game won't get any new content, it will continue to be playable on Xbox and PC. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/27/bleeding-edge-review"] "With the studio now focusing on our new projects (Senua’s Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project) we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge," Ninja Theory wrote. "The game is still playable on Xbox and PC. Thank you to the fans & keep teaming up & causing chaos!" Bleeding Edge, a 4v4 third-person melee combat game, was announced at E3 2019 and was released on March 24, 2020. In our Bleeding Edge review, we said "While tinkering with character builds and clashing swords amidst exciting team fights is fun, Bleeding Edge left me wanting more as the hours piled up. Matches frequently devolve into unbalanced, frustrating messes thanks to no role queue, and ranged combat is devoid of all the bits that make team fights enjoyable." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/senuas-saga-hellblade-2-reveal-trailer"] Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was also announced in 2019 and Microsoft revealed that it is being built on Unreal Engine 5 for Xbox Series X/S. Project Mara is an experimental title that is allowing Ninja Thoery to explore new ways to tell stories. It was recently revealed that Project Mara will take place in a single, incredibly realistic apartment. The Insight Project was also announced in 2019 and looks to be an "experimentally guided project that aims to deliver a mainstream solution to help treat mental suffering and encourage mental well being."

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Trailer and Release Date Revealed

Better start polishing your skates, because the Mighty Ducks spinoff series is debuting soon on Disney+. Mighty Ducks: Game Changers will premiere on the streamer on March 26. Along with the reveal of the official title and release date, Disney also released the first trailer for the series via the official Disney+ twitter account. Check it out below: As previously announced, Emilio Estevez is reprising his role as Coach Gordon Bombay for the 10-episode series. Estevez previously starred in all three Mighty Ducks movies. The series also stars Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls) as Alex Morrow and Brady Noon (Boardwalk Empire) as her son Evan. The cast of aspiring hockey stars also includes Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Taegen Burns, Bella Higginbotham and DJ Watts. The trailer reveals Bombay is now living a quiet life as the owner of the Ice Palace skate rink, at least until Alex and Evan stumble into his life hoping to form a new hockey team. Having been cut from the current incarnation of the Ducks, which has become an elite but exclusionary team in the years since Bombay's retirement, Evan hopes to prove hockey is a sport for everyone, regardless of ability or resources. In short, it sounds like the Mighty Ducks series is entering its Friday Night Lights: Season 4 phase. “Once a Duck, always a Duck!,” said Estevez after his role was officially confirmed last year. “And after 25 years, I am delighted to lace up my skates, put on Coach Bombay's jacket and return to play the iconic character for this new chapter in ‘The Mighty Ducks’ franchise. Likewise, I am thrilled to return to my old stomping grounds with my friends at Disney and Steve Brill, the original creator of the franchise, to join them on their exciting new platform, Disney+.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=disney-spotlight-february-2021&captions=true"] The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers was one of many Disney Plus-exclusives featured in Disney's Investor Day 2020 event. Disney also announced a number of new live-action Star Wars projects and confirmed the animated film Raya and the Last Dragon will be the next Premier Access release on Disney+.
