Showtime’s Dexter series revival has its villain, and it’s none other than Mr. Krabs himself: Clancy Brown.

Variety reports that Brown will play Kurt Caldwell, the unofficial mayor of the town of Iron Lake. A former truck driver who now owns the local truckstop and several trucks, Caldwell is described as a classic figure you should never cross: Kind to his friends, but ruthless to those who wrong him.

Brown has had a strong career between film, television, and video game roles. IGN readers will recognize him as the voice of Spongebob Squarepant’s Mr. Krabs, Detroit: Become Human’s jaded detective Hank Anderson, as well as roles in The Shawshank Redemption, Highlander, and Starship Troopers. He's more recently starred in ABC's Emergence and Shudder's The Mortuary Collection.

Brown will be joining Dexter star Michael C. Hall, who is reprising his role as the vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan. Hall has previously stated that he’s excited to return to the role after the original series’ “unsatisfying” ending.

The 10-episode revival will serve as a “second finale” for the show, which largely disappointed fans. Plot details are still scarce, but Showtime’s president of entertainment Gary Levine has praised Hall and showrunner Clyde Phillips for finding a narrative that’s “truly worthy of the brilliant, original series.” [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer/serial filler for IGN.

Zack Snyder recently explained the importance of Superman's black suit as a time delineator in his upcoming cut of Justice League. When asked by ComicBook Debate what Superman's black suit means to him, Snyder said the suit is an important way to demonstrate the change Superman goes through. He also explained that it works as a great time delineator, especially when presenting flashbacks and flash-forwards of the character. "I really was always a very strong advocate for the black suit," Snyder said. "I really wanted the black suit and it made sense for me because — it's exactly as you say — Superman, as a character, notoriously does not grow. He's like a rock and everything just smashes against him and then we learn, by trying to change a thing that's unchangeable so that we can learn about ourselves, (and) that's sort of the old way, the old Superman." "I really felt like my Superman...has to sort of level up and sort of learn something and be something different because in the end, the idea is that, or what I had planned was that, the...final step for Superman is kind of his real return, or his real coming into, what I would consider almost the classic Superman," Snyder added. Snyder went on to say that the "classic" Superman moment doesn't really happen in this movie. He also explained that the black suit in his cut of the movie is a "great time delineator" that allows audiences to see where in the timeline they are with the character. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-trailer"] "I really was always excited about using the black suit to kind of lock us in to...when he goes from the black suit to the red and blue suit (and) what that means," he said. "You can't just be like, 'oh now let's put him in the blue suit, now let's put him in the black suit.' It's like, 'no, that's not cool.'" You'll be able to see how all of Snyder's black suit thoughts translate onto the screen this year when the Justice League: Snyder Cut is released on HBO Max. Check out this clip that shows Superman in the black suit meeting Alfred and after that, read about Snyder casually announcing that the first part of the Snyder Cut will release in March. The Snyder Cut will be a four-part series where each part is one hour long, so it's unclear when the other three parts will be released if just the first part is released in March.

Director Zack Snyder says he has no plans to make more DC movies after the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League.

In an interview with Comic Book Debate (via Collider), Snyder commented on the matter of future films, while leaving the door open for the future.

“Look, I never thought I’d be here doing this. I didn’t think I’d be finishing Justice League… The truth is, and it’s been widely reported, and I have no issue, this is an old movie. This is a years-old movie I’m working on. The DC universe has gone and branched off and done its own thing and that’s fine… As far as what I did and as far as what my vision for what I wanted to do with these characters and the journey I wanted them to go on, it’s well known that I planned on more movies — five movies or something — but I’m busy. I’ve got a lot going on. Is it cool that the fans have so much faith in the trajectory? Yes, it’s amazing, and I couldn’t be happier and I’m excited for them to see Justice League so they can really drink the entire elixir of Justice League. But would I continue? I have no plan to. But like I said, I didn’t think I’d be here, so who knows?”

The long-awaited (and at one time seemingly mythical) Snyder Cut is reportedly due to release in March on HBO Max in four hour-long segments. Snyder says he is including 150 minutes of previously unseen footage, and won’t be using any of director Joss Whedon’s work on the film following Snyder’s original departure.

Snyder certainly isn’t the only one considering his future with DC. Cyborg actor Ray Fisher has said he won’t work with DC Films president Walter Hamada again after Fisher accused Hamada of enabling a toxic work environment under Joss Whedon.

In the meantime, DC fans have the divisive Wonder Woman 1984 to watch on HBO Max. Thankfully, you can finally tune in on your PS5 and Roku. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer/cyborg for IGN.

A mod for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 allows male V players to romance Judy, who can only be romanced by V with a female body and female voice in the unmodified version of the game. As reported by Eurogamer, modders recently discovered a way to unlock Judy's romance scene using V with a male body type and male voice. The modded scenes with Judy include full voice work for male V, which had some fans thinking Judy was initially supposed to be romanceable by both male and female protagonists. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=cyberpunk-2077-pc-gameplay-screenshots&captions=true"] However, a CD Projekt Red representative told Eurogamer Judy was always intended to be a romance option just for female V, saying they still recorded the male V dialogue, "so we could avoid missing something by mistake that would require future recordings." The rep said the team recorded all lines with both voices, just to be safe. And, CDPR confirmed there was no male romance option cut from Cyberpunk 2077. If you want to see how to access the scene in Cyberpunk 2077, you can check out an NSFW video from YouTuber FrederickFlower. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/05/how-to-play-cyberpunk-2077-in-3rd-person"] There are four romanceable characters in Cyberpunk 2077, and each one has different requirements for V's voice and body type. You can check out our Cyberpunk romance guide to see how to progress with each character. Besides romance, you'll also want to find out how to improve your relationship with Johnny Silverhand.

Mojang Studios has announced that it is shutting down its augmented reality mobile game Minecraft Earth, which lets players interact with a Minecraft game superimposed onto real-world GPS data. In a new blog post, the Minecraft Earth team confirmed that it is winding down its game with plans to end support on June 30, 2021. Although never explicitly mentioned, the devs cite the complications of managing an AR game during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of its decision to shut down Minecraft Earth. “Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play — two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation,” the staff writes in a blog post. Other AR games, like Pokemon Go, faced similar COVID-related obstacles during the pandemic. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/17/minecraft-earth-official-reveal-trailer"] Still, the developers will support Minecraft Earth until June 2021 and are releasing one more update before the end that will let players enjoy the game before the shutdown. As part of the update, Minecraft Earth will remove real-money transactions, drastically reduce ruby costs, add all content — complete and unreleased, reduce time requirements for crafting and smelting, replace unused crafting and smelting boosts with radius boosts, and grant a set of Character Creator items to anyone who signs in between January 5 and June 30. Then, on June 30, Mojang will discontinue all content and service support for Minecraft Earth. This will also mean people will no longer be able to download or play Minecraft Earth. On July 1, Mojang will delete any Minecraft Earth player data unrelated to Character Creator [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/17/17-minutes-of-minecraft-earth-closed-beta-gameplay"] As another bonus, anyone who has paid for the in-game currency will receive Minecoins which can be used in the Minecraft Marketplace, and anyone who has made a purchase in Minecraft Earth will receive a free copy of the Minecraft Bedrock Edition. IGN has a brief overview of Minecraft Earth here if you’re interested in checking out the AR game before it sunsets for good on June 30.
