A new deal struck between Warner Bros. and Cineworld's Regal cinemas seem to indicate that day-and-date HBO Max releases could end in 2022. This news comes by way of Deadline, which reports that Cineworld and Warner Bros. have signed a multi-year agreement that contains two key facets. The first is that Regal cinemas will show Warner Bros.' 2021 releases in its U.S. theaters, when they open, the same day those movies release on HBO Max. The second is that beginning in 2022, all Warner Bros. theatrical releases will have an exclusivity window of 45 days in U.S. Regal theaters. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/03/warner-bros-and-hbo-max-2021-movies-announcement-trailer"] "We are very happy for the agreement with Warner Bros.," Cineworld CEO, Mooky Greidinger, said. "This agreement shows the studio's commitment to the theatrical business and we see this agreement as an important milestone in our 100-year relationship with Warner Bros." With release exclusivity going to Regal theaters for Warner Bros. movies next year, it seems that 2022 marks the end of the deal between the studio and HBO Max that sees all of its 2021 movies released to the streaming service the same day they hit theaters. On the UK side of things, Cineworld will get a 31-day window of theatrical exclusivity for Warner Bros. movies before those movies going to VOD, and "an extended window of 45 days for films that open to an agreed-upon box office threshold," according to Deadline. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Cineworld has also announced that it is reopening Regal cinemas in the U.S. this April, six months after its theaters closed their doors. Deadline reports that the reopening will take a phased approach. A limited number of theaters will open on April 2, which is just in time for moviegoers to catch Godzilla Vs. Kong, which opens March 31 in the U.S., on the big screen. Following that, a wider reopening will take place on April 16, which is the same day Mortal Kombat hits theaters. The company expects to open its UK theaters in May. "We have long awaited this moment when we can welcome audiences back to our Regal theaters and restore our essential role within the communities we serve," Greidinger said. "With the health and safety of our customers, staff, and communities as our top priority, we continue to take all the necessary precautions and abide by our CinemaSafe guidelines to confidently provide a safe and comfortable experience." Regal closed its U.S. movie theaters last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Cineworld, and many other theater chains in Europe, closed its doors last year for the same reason. The pandemic not only affected theaters but moviemaking as well. Check out IGN's list of every film and show affected by COVID-19.

Disney has announced the long-delayed Black Widow movie to July 9 and will be released simultaneously on Disney Plus Premier Access as well as in theaters. In a press release, Disney confirmed both the Black Widow release day shift and the $30 Premier Access price tag. Disney also confirmed Shang-Chi will be delayed from July to September 3. Disney Plus Premier Access is the company's strategy for releasing highly-anticipated films on Disney Plus the same day as on theaters. For $30 on top of the monthly subscription cost, Disney Plus members can watch day one theater releases at home. The company previously released Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon through the Disney Plus Premier Access program. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] Disney released its most recent film release calendar today in a press release that included updates on all of the company's most anticipated films for 2021. Alongside Black Widow, the Cruella movie starring Emma Stone will also be released on Disney Plus Premier Access the same day as theaters, on May 28. Luca, the newest Pixar film will be available exclusively on Disney Plus on June 18 for no additional cost. Though Luca will be released in theaters in markets where Disney Plus is not available. Other updated movie release dates include:

• Free Guy on August 13. 2021 (delayed from May 21, 2021)
• The King's Man on December 22, 2021 (delayed from August 20, 2021)
• Death on the Nile on February 11, 2022 (delayed from September 17, 2021)

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/09/black-widow-official-final-trailer"] Disney CEO Bob Chapek previously insisted Black Widow would land its May 7 theater release date, but as the global pandemic continues, the calculus has changed. It's also unclear whether the recent release of Raya through Disney Premiere Access had any impact on the decision. Either way, Disney Plus is certainly a priority for Disney, and as the situation around theater releases continues to look unclear, Premier Access is becoming a more important tool for the company as well. Though it remains to be seen how Premier Access holds up against services like HBO Max which announced it would release its entire 2021 movie slate on its streaming platform on the same day for free for a limited time.

Between licensed comics like BOOM! Studios' Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Marvel's The Rise of Ultraman and creator-owned books like Radiant Black, the tokusatsu genre is thriving in the comic book world right now. Now, one of the minds behind The Rise of Ultraman is delivering a new take on this popular formula with an original graphic novel called Inferno Girl Red. Inferno Girl Red is an unusual blend of tokusatsu action and teen superhero drama, with a healthy dose of British boarding school intrigue thrown in for good measure. The book follows Cássia Costa, a troubled teen genius who finds her native Apex City stolen away by a demonic cult. Cássia is given the chance to win back her home when a magical dragon bracelet suddenly affixes itself to her arm. However, there's one important catch. The bracelet is powered by the wearer's belief, and the pragmatic Cássia is hardly the type to put her faith in the supernatural. See an exclusive preview of Inferno Girl Red in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=inferno-girl-red-graphic-novel-preview&captions=true"] Inferno Girl Red is a collaboration between The Rise of Ultraman co-writer Mat Groom and Captain Marvel artist Erica D'Urso, with tokusatsu expert Kyle Higgins (The Rise of Ultraman, Radiant Black) editing the book. The creative team also includes colorist Igor Monti, letterer Becca Carey and design group For the People. “I’ve been working on this story for about three years now,” said Groom in a press release. “I’ve always thought it was worthwhile, but I was never certain it would work… until I met Erica D’Urso. Erica is just wickedly talented. You can see that in her work on JAMES BOND, CAPTAIN MARVEL and XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. But it was her energy, her tremendous passion, that made me believe. Erica loves Cássia, and Cássia’s world… and that love infuses every part of this project. There’s nobody I would rather be co-creating this world with.” Groom also reveals another reason for Higgins' involvement, as it seems Inferno Girl Red and Radiant Black are set within the same shared universe. “Kyle and I share a passion for the Japanese tokusatsu genre, which is a big influence on INFERNO GIRL RED, along with British boarding school dramas and American superhero comics," Groom said. "There’s little coincidence that Cássia was first introduced to the world in the back of the first issue of Kyle’s series, RADIANT BLACK. In fact, the connections between RADIANT BLACK and INFERNO GIRL RED may run deeper than you think…” Inferno Girl Red is initially being offered as a Kickstarter-exclusive hardcover, with some tiers including an art print bundle featuring new works by Marcelo Costa, Darko Lafuente, Doaly, Francesco Manna, Eduardo Ferigato, Dash O'Brien–Georgeson, Federico Sabbatini (with Martina Fari), Wil Sur, Kath Lobo, Serg Acūna, Eleonora Carlini, Tiffany Turrill, Nicola Scott, Nicole Goux and Valeria Favoccia. Should the graphic novel be fully funded, Image Comics will also publish a trade paperback collection. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/28/power-rangers-battle-for-the-grid-review"] Elsewhere in the world of tokusatsu, BOOM! Studios recently relaunched the flagship Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic as two monthly, interconnected titles - Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers. The franchise is also gearing up for a return to the big screen, with Jonathan Entwistle (I'm Not Okay With This) overseeing an interconnected series of movies and TV shows. Meanwhile, PlutoTV has added an entire channel devoted to classic tokusatsu shows called TokuSHOUTsu. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jesse is a mild-mannered staff writer for IGN.

Six years after it was announced, Final Fantasy XI Reboot, a mobile version of Square's early 2000s MMORPG, has officially been cancelled. The cancellation came as co-developers Square Enix and Nexon decided the mobile version didn't meet the creative standards Final Fantasy fans have come to expect from the series, according to Gamebiz.jp (via Gematsu). The development team has reportedly been moved to other projects. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-final-fantasy-game-review&captions=true"] Final Fantasy XI Reboot was announced in 2015 with a targeted 2016 release window. It was intended to optimize the MMORPG experience for smartphones by "improving party organizing systems, enriching solo-play functionality, improving battle functionality and enhancing in-game events and features," according to the initial press release. However, that 2016 release window came and went, and it wasn't until 2018 that FFXI Reboot resurfaced through a series of screenshots posted to ResetEra. The screenshots, pulled from Nexon's website at the time, showed a promising look at the mobile version's progress, though no further development updates were given leading up to its cancellation three years later. In other Final Fantasy news, Square recently released a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade trailer showing off its PS5 improvements. The PS5 version of FF7R is out June 10, while the PS4 version is currently free for PS Plus subscribers.
