Marvel's Eternals will draw some influence from manga and will also feature a Bollywood dance sequence. In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Chinese-born director Chloé Zhao discussed how she brought some of her childhood roots to the movie. Eternals has some of the stylized elements of manga., which are comics originating from Japan, since Zhao was a fan of them growing up. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=who-are-the-villains-kro-and-arishem-the-judge-from-marvels-eternals&captions=true"] "I have such deep, strong, manga roots," Zhao said. "I brought some of that into Eternals. And I look forward to using more of that marriage of East and West." Zhao said it was important to push thematic ideas like the marriage of East and West because Eternals is a movie about the history of humanity. In making this movie, Zhao asked herself how much bigger and further the movie could go after Avengers: Endgame because "(she's) not just making the film as a director" but "as a fan." Eternals cast member Kumail Nanjiani also revealed in the article that the Marvel film includes a Bollywood dance sequence with over 50 dancers in it. "When I walked onto the set and saw a huge group of brown people who were going to be in a Marvel movie, I felt such gratitude towards Chloé for creating the situation," said Nanjiani, whose Eternals character, Kingo, is a Bollywood star in the film. "The scene was full of joy." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/08/03/marvels-eternals-movie-explained"] Marvel Entertainment president Kevin Feige also said the film's LGBTQ relationship will be portrayed well on screen, calling it "inherent in the story and the makeup of the different types of Eternals." "I think it is extremely well done and I look forward to that level of inclusion in our future movies being less of a topic," Feige said. Feige also said that it was Zhao's Eternals pitch that sold him on the overall idea of proceeding with making the movie. "Her initial pitch to us was fascinating," Feige said. "And frankly one fo the reasons we moved forward on the movie was because of that vision that she brought to it." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/24/why-angelina-jolie-said-yes-to-marvels-eternals"] Marvel's Eternals is currently slated to hit theaters February 12, 2021.

Sony Pictures Television is reportedly developing a live-action TV series about Silk, an ally of Spider-Man's in the Marvel comics. Silk is the superhero pseudonym of Korean American Cindy Moon, who debuted in 2014's Spider-Man Vol. 3 #4. Lauren Moon (Atypical, Good Trouble) is in talks to write Silk, which will be executive produced by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Amy Pascal, the former head of Sony Pictures, will also exec produce Silk. Pascal had previously been developing Silk as a feature film back in 2018. "No network or streaming service is currently attached, but sources say Amazon is in talks to acquire the project, along with other potential Marvel series based on characters Sony controls," Variety reports. Created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, Cindy Moon acquired her superpowers from the same radioactive spider that bit and transformed Peter Parker into your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. And like Spidey, Silk has a Spider-Sense, can shoot webs, and possesses superhuman speed, strength, and stamina. Cindy Moon has actually appeared in live-action before, having been portrayed by actress Tiffany Espensen as one of Peter's (Tom Holland) classmates in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War. Silk is one of a number of Spidey-related projects in development beyond Tom Holland's next MCU outing. These Sony spin-offs including Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2, Kraven the Hunter, and Olivia Wilde's Spider-Woman. Check them all out in the slideshow below. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-spider-man-movie-spin-off-in-development&captions=true"]

EA has announced the first of three planned updates coming to Madden NFL 21’s Franchise Mode which will include some requested features from the community. The updates are announced on the heels of a fan backlash to the newest iteration of Madden. The following updates are planned for mid-November and are only the first of three planned post-launch updates. Check out the following changes coming to Madden 21 below as revealed in a new blog post: [poilib element="accentDivider"]

• X-Factor/Superstar Ability Customization: This highly requested feature by the community allows commissioners to assign X-Factors to any player via the edit player feature. Once a player has met the criteria to unlock an X-Factor ability, commissioners will be able to edit their player's Superstar abilities and Superstar X-Factor ability by selecting from those available within his position group. Users will have control over this functionality in both offline and online Franchises.
• Player Card Career Stats UI: A top community request for several years now, the team is revamping the statistics on the player card to include more context in season stats, like week, opponent, and outcome, while also providing what team the player was on for every year of their career.
• Dev Trait Regression Tuning: The team is doing tuning work to player development traits in Franchise mode to ensure a proper balance of Superstar and X-Factor players when progressing multiple years in a Franchise.
• Playoff Bracket: A visual playoff bracket will be added into the game that reflects the new Wild Card format, allowing users to see the full playoff picture.

UPDATE 2: Contrary to British media reports, The Batman has not resumed production without its star, Robert Pattinson. Although The Daily Mail claimed the Warners/DC film had begun shooting again, working around the recently diagnosed Pattinson, Variety reports that "people on the film team who were in contact with Pattinson are quarantining. The production is still doing contact tracing. It is unlikely that shooting will re-commence until the roughly two-week quarantine period ends." Set construction and prop work continues on The Batman at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden. The studio has so far not commented on Pattinson's health, only saying that an unspecified crew member tested positive for the coronavirus and that they have temporarily stopped production on The Batman. UPDATE: The Batman crew member who was diagnosed with coronavirus is reportedly none other than the star himself, Robert Pattinson. According to Vanity Fair, Robert Pattinson "tested positive for the coronavirus, causing filming of The Batman to be halted just days after the superhero drama resumed work at studios outside of London. Warner Bros. would not comment on any individual worker's health." And while the studio wouldn't comment on Pattinson or any other crew member's health, WarnerMedia boss Ann Sarnoff told Deadline: "We’re still in the middle of investigating what is the situation. We’re pausing temporarily for now until we have more information, but we have all the protocols set up to do contact tracing and hopefully get back up into production very soon." IGN also reached out to the studio for comment. Our original report follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] The Batman has shut down production -- again -- due to the coronavirus pandemic. Warner Bros. announced the temporary work stoppage in a press statement revealing that a crew member had tested positive: "A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols.  Filming is temporarily paused." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/the-batman-trailer-breakdown-riddler-penguin-catwoman-and-no-more-lies-explained"] The Batman first shut down production in England last March when industry-wide shutdowns began due to the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. Director Matt Reeves disclosed that filming on The Batman was only about 25% complete at the time of the March stoppage. Since then, The Batman made a huge splash at August's DC FanDome, revealing the movie's intense first trailer that left us wondering about its mysterious villain and the whereabouts of the Joker, while also clarifying when it's set. Here's how you can help, and stay safe, during the coronavirus pandemic. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-batman-official-trailer-1-stills&captions=true"]
