An Hourman movie is reportedly in development with a writing team already at work on the script. Deadline reports that Gavin James and Neil Widener are writing the Hourman movie. The two are also reportedly writing a sequel to San Andreas starring Dwayne Johnson under the production company Chernin Entertainment. Chernin is also reportedly developing the Hourman movie, which Deadline says is their first DC Comics project. An Hourman TV series was in development at The CW in 2013. CW President Mark Pedowitz told IGN in 2014 that scripts for an Hourman show were being written, but the show never materialized. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=who-are-the-justice-society-of-america&captions=true"] Hourman would eventually appear as part of the Justice Society of America in the CW series, Legends of Tomorrow played by Patrick J. Adams and in the Stargirl series played by Lou Ferrigno, Jr. and Cameron Gellman. Hourman first appeared in 1940 in Adventure Comics #48 by writer Ken Fitch and artist Bernard Baily. The original comic featured a scientist named Rex Tyler who develops a vitamin that provides superhuman strength for one hour. The scientist decides to use the vitamin to fight crime as the superhero Hourman. The Superhero will appear in the upcoming animated movie, Justice Society: World War II voiced by Matthew Mercer. The movie will be released digitally on April 27 followed by a 4K Blu-ray release on May 11.

We know a Blue Beetle movie directed by Angel Manuel Soto is officially on the way, and a Superman movie will be written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J.J. Abrams.

Techland has released a new video with updates about Dying Light 2's development, and it includes a new snippet of gameplay and the reveal that the studio is aiming to release the game this year. Word on Dying Light 2's release has been quiet since the game was indefinitely delayed back in 2020, but the video published today by Techland ends with a 2021 splash card. As for when the game might release this year, there's no other, specific info at this time. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/17/dying-light-2-2021-development-update"] "This is a huge and complex project and we needed time to make sure it will live up to our vision," a developer in the video says. "All of us here are putting our hearts into delivering a game that you will keep playing for months. We will be ready to start talking about Dying Light 2 very, very soon." Dying Light 2 lead designer, Tymon Smektala, said in the video that the team at Techland "needs your trust and support as this is what motivates us, especially now when the circumstances are hard for everyone." He said the team is proud to have such a devoted fan base, no matter how they express their feelings — this is an allusion to the beginning of the video where the team reads some angry-sounding tweets from fans directed at them — and he asks for fans to be patient for "just a bit longer." The video then cuts to about 30 seconds of gameplay, as seen above, before it fades to a 2021 splash screen, which seems to suggest Techland is aiming to release Dying Light 2 this year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/09/dying-light-2-gameplay-trailer-e3-2019"] This video comes just weeks after reports came out that the development of Dying Light 2 was hindered by alleged studio turbulence, including a reported bullish, autocratic tier of upper management that has led to numerous staff members walking away from the project and the studio.

Marvel Studios head, Kevin Feige, has now publicly denied that Chris Evans will return as Captain America. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feige told the publication he thinks that rumor was already dispelled by Evans himself. Evans cheekily denied the rumor he'd be returning to the MCU as Captain America back in January with a tweet that read "News to me" about the rumor. If that wasn't enough, Feige has now denied the rumor as well. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/25/falcon-isnt-captain-america-in-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier"] "I rarely answer no to anything anymore because things are always surprising me with what happens, but that rumor, I think, was dispelled rather quickly by the man himself," Feige told Entertainment Weekly. Sorry Cap fans — it seems Evans is done with the role. There's always the possibility, though, that both Evans and Feige are playing coy about this, but as the Marvel boss said, he doesn't usually answer "no" to anything, and considering he did to this rumor, it doesn't seem a reprisal like that from Evans is in the cards. Just because Evans isn't returning as Captain America, though, doesn't mean the legacy of the character won't be felt in the future of the MCU. In fact, Disney Plus' upcoming series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will explore what it means to take over from Captain America. Watch the series' head writer, Malcolm Spellman, talk to IGN about how the legacy of Captain America looms large over The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and then read our thoughts on the characters' last hoorah in the MCU in IGN's Avengers: Endgame review.

It turns out the start of Fortnite's latest season brought in some familiar directors to helm the explosive Season 6 cinematic reveal trailer. As revealed by Variety, the Russo Brothers directed the Zero Crisis trailer, which launched the start of Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 6 yesterday after the single-player Zero Crisis finale mission. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/09/from-spider-man-to-cherry-tom-holland-on-challenging-himself-in-the-russos-drama"] "It's been fantastic working with the team at Epic," the duo said in a statement to Variety. "Fortnite holds a unique place in pop culture, and we think Donald Mustard (Epic Games' chief creative officer) is a visionary storyteller who continues to take us all into unexplored territory." Mustard said his team and the Russo Brothers, whose latest film is the Tom Holland-starring Cherry, worked together to "write, storyboard, and direct not only the opening cinematic, but also much of the character setup in Chapter 2 Season 6 that has yet to be revealed," according to Variety. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/16/fortnite-chapter-2-season-6-zero-crisis-story-cinematic-trailer"] This isn't the first time the director duo has worked with Epic Games. They brought Thanos into the game as a Fortnite x Avengers: Infinity War crossover event. That crossover happened after the Russo Brothers reached out directly to Epic. "Over the past few months, while we were editing Infinity War, we'd take breaks to hop on and get in a few games," Joe Russo said. "And then we started thinking, 'How cool would it be to have some kind of Avengers-Fortnite mashup? So we stalked Donald [Mustard]."

Super Nintendo World opens today at Universal Studios Japan, and IGN Japan was on hand for a press preview the day before to check out the new Goomba-infested area. Check out this gallery to see how USJ has brought the colorful world of Mario and friends to life! [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=60-photos-from-our-super-nintendo-world-visit&captions=true"] Attractions at the park area include the Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge and Yoshi’s Adventure rides, and iconic locations such as Bowser’s Castle and Peach’s Castle have been reproduced in vibrant colors. There are also a ton of interactive spots around the new zone where guests can collect coins, stamps and keys that are stored in a Power-Up Band on your wrist and collected in the official USJ smartphone app. As you can see in our photos, our team had fun collecting these achievements, meeting Mario and Luigi and disappearing down a few Warp Pipes! Super Nintendo World opens at Universal Studio Japan in Osaka on March 18. Japan is currently restricting entry for foreign passport holders until further notice as a COVID-19 countermeasure.

Sony will add 10 additional games to its Play at Home program, including Horizon: Zero Dawn, in the coming weeks. The first nine games will be available for free to own and download starting next week on March 25. Those games are: Abzu, The Witness, Enter the Gungeon, Subnautica, Rez Infinite, Moss, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Paper Beast, and Thumper. Then, starting April 19, Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition will be available to download for free. The first nine games will be available for free to download until April 22 and Horizon: Zero Dawn will be available until May 14. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/horizon-forbidden-west-horizon-2-reveal-trailer-ps5-reveal-event"] Rez Infinite is PSVR compatible as is Thumper, but Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Moss, and Paper Beast require PSVR. Players will still be able to download these PSVR-exclusive games even if they don't own a PSVR headset — they just won't be able to actually play them. While Sony's Play at Home is a worldwide initiative, it's important to note that Subnautica, The Witness, Abzu, Rez Infinite, Moss, Thumper, and Paper Beast will not be available to download in China. Enter the Gungeon won't be available in China either, nor will it be available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand. Alongside these 10 games, Sony is offering up an extended trial of Funimation. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/10/05/astro-bot-rescue-mission-review"] "Don't forget: in participating countries, we're also offering an extended trial of Funimation (or Wakanim, depending on region), a joint venture of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Aniplex of Japan," the announcement from Sony reads. "The anime-focused subscription service includes shows such as My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Attack on Titan, and Fruits Basket." The extended Funimation trial begins on March 25 and ends on April 22. Sony's announcement says it will have more Stay at Home information to share soon. Earlier this month, Sony made 2016's Ratchet & Clank available to download for free as part of Stay at Home and last year, it did the same with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey.

King of the Hill may be the latest animated sitcom to return to the air. Writer Brent Forrester has revealed creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are currently in "hot negotiations" to revive the popular Fox series. As spotted by Tech Radar, Forrester teased the possible revival during a Reddit AMA session. While negotiations are still underway, Forrester revealed the plan is to reintroduce Hank Hill and family 15 years after the events of the series finale. "I am sure Greg Daniels and Mike Judge will murder me for sharing this but... HELL YES," Forrester writes. "They are in hot negotiations to bring back King of the Hill. The Trump administration made it suddenly very relevant again. The characters have all aged 15 years. The project is sooooo good. Okay I've said too much :)" It's unclear whether the revival series would air on Fox or shift to become a streaming exclusive on Hulu or Disney+. Presumably, most of the surviving voice cast would return, including Judge as both Hank Hill and Jeff Boomhauer, Kathy Najimy as Peggy Hill, Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble and Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive. However, given the time jump involved, it's possible the role of Hank's son Bobby will be recast. It also remains to be seen how the revival might handle Hank's niece Luanne and her husband Lucky, as voice actors Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty have both passed away. King of the Hill aired for 13 seasons on Fox between 1997 and 2009, making it one of the most successful animated sitcoms to debut in the wake of The Simpsons. The series follows the mundane day-to-day struggles of the Hill family and the many other eccentric personalities in the fictional town of Arlen, TX. Similar to The Simpsons and Family Guy, the characters in King of the Hill never aged significantly over the course of the series, so the revival will break new ground in that regard. Has Bobby made good on his dream of being a standup comedian? Has Hank been promoted to full manager of Strickland Propane? Is Dale a member of QAnon? These are the burning questions the revival will answer. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-adult-cartoon-tv-series&captions=true"] Animated sitcom revivals and reboots are becoming increasingly popular these days, especially with the long-term effects of the pandemic on Hollywood. Hulu recently debuted the first season of its Animaniacs revival series, while HBO Max is developing a Tiny Toon Adventures reboot dubbed Tiny Toons Looniversity. Meanwhile, MTV is renewing tis emphasis on animated projects, ordering two new seasons of Judge's Beavis and Butthead and greenlighting both the Daria reboot Jodie and a new Clone High series. Let us know which of these many animated sitcom revivals you're most excited to see by voting in our poll, and sound off in the comments below: [poilib element="poll" parameters="id=d4887562-3bc0-44da-b185-2bad7726bafb"] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jesse is a mild-mannered staff writer for IGN.

Disco Elysium, which was the best PC exclusive of 2019, is a PC exclusive no longer. It's headed to consoles in just a few weeks. As a grand finale to today's surprise PlayStation indie announcement roundup, Sony revealed that Disco Elysium: The Final Cut would land on PS4 and PS5 on March 30. It's also coming to Stadia at the same time, though dates for the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch have not been set just yet. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/17/disco-elysium-the-final-cut-release-date-trailer"] This updated version of the game includes voice acting, as well as some extra bonus content -- all of which will also be added in a free upgrade to the Steam version of the game for existing users as well. We gave Disco Elysium a 9.6 in our initial review of the game, having loved its deep, sharp noir-fiction writing and its wonderful gameplay homage to pen-and-paper RPGs. Developer ZA/UM's debut game received so much acclaim that it's already got a TV adaptation in the works from the same producer as the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

After being closed for more than a year, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are set to reopen to the public with limited capacity on April 30, 2021. This also includes more than 10,000 cast members who are returning to work at the parks and hotels. The various hotels at the Disneyland Resort will also be opening in phases, beginning with Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa on April 29. The Paradise Pier Hotel and the Disneyland Hotel will reopen sometime in the future, although no date has been officially announced. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] It's been a rough year for Disneyland, like many other businesses, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which has forced California into lockdown for over a year. Disneyland's reopening efforts have largely been dictated by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who refused to allow the parks to reopen last year after Florida allowed Disney World to open back up to the public. Earlier this year, Disney announced it would be ending its long-running Annual Passport program due to the continued uncertainty of the pandemic, but plans to introduce a new membership program in the future. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/14/the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-timeline-so-far"] In an effort to promote social distancing in the otherwise crowded parks, Disneyland will utilize a new park reservation system that requires guests to reserve their spot in advance. However, only California residents are permitted to enter the parks at this time. Parades and other large group events won't be available during the limited capacity reopening but will return at a later date once crowd density is no longer an issue.

Xbox Game Pass PC and Ultimate members will be given access to EA Play on PC starting tomorrow, March 18. Subscribers will be able to access more than 60 games from EA's vault, including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Squadrons and The Sims 4. Discounts on digital purchases of EA games, game trials and monthly in-game rewards for games like Madden 21 and Apex Legends will also be provided to subscribers. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/09/ea-play-with-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-official-trailer"] The way players will access EA Play on PC has been detailed in this short video. Subscribers will have to sign in to the Xbox app on PC, then they will need to install the EA Desktop app to download their EA Play game of choice. After linking their EA account to their Xbox account, they will then be able to download and play games from the EA library. EA Play previously arrived on consoles for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in November of 2020. It's been quite the week for Xbox Game Pass. After Microsoft's acquisition of Zenimax was officially confirmed, 20 Bethesda titles were brought to the service including Dishonored, Doom and Skyrim. We also learned earlier this week that the upcoming Square Enix shooter Outriders would be coming to Game Pass for console on launch day, that Undertale would hit the service, and that the previously Switch exclusive Octopath Traveler would launch on Xbox through Game Pass.
