Disney confirmed Wednesday that Marvel's WandaVision is still coming to their Disney+ streaming service this year. While there had been some concern that the series -- which brings back Avengers franchise stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as Wanda Maximoff and Vision, respectively -- might be pushed to 2021 due to production and release disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the press release and video promo (seen below) for what's coming to Disney+ later this year confirms WandaVision remains on their 2020 slate.

Update, 2/4: Disney has confirmed that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will premiere in August, announcing the news during their February 4 investor earnings call.  Disney+ launched a first look at its upcoming Marvel Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki in a recent Super Bowl spot, which you can watch below. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/03/marvel-studios-disney-plus-big-game-spot"] Disney also confirmed a December 2020 launch date for WandaVision, and an October release for Season 2 of The Mandalorian. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] Original story continues below. [poilib element="accentDivider"] The release of Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+ has reportedly been moved up to August of this year. According to a recent Deadline report, the highly anticipated miniseries is now expected to hit the streamer towards the end of the summer, slightly ahead of its original Fall 2020 debut, though Disney has yet to officially confirm this schedule shift. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/25/falcon-isnt-captain-america-in-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier"] As it stands, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is set to be the first MCU spinoff series on the Disney+ release calendar. The Phase 4 production started filming towards the end of last year, with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reprising their roles as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes respectively, alongside Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Desmond Chiam, Wyatt Russell, and Miki Ishikawa. The new report shares that Noah Mills has also recently signed on in an undisclosed role. If confirmed, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's new premiere date would be the second shake-up to the Disney+ streaming schedule, as the House of Mouse previously revealed the release of Marvel's WandaVision had been moved up to 2020, ahead of its originally planned Spring 2021 debut. It is now possible that the sitcom-style show will take the newly-opened Fall 2020 slot in order to stagger the two new shows, though exact release dates have yet to be announced.

The Disney+ streaming service has announced a release window for its popular new Star Wars series, The Mandalorian, which will debut in October 2020. The announcement was made by Walt Disney boss Robert Iger during the company's quarterly earnings call. Iger went on to say that Baby Yoda "has taken the world by storm," and promised that more consumer products featuring "The Child" will be hitting the market in the coming months, like this insanely detailed life-size Baby Yoda statue from Sideshow Collectibles that'll set you back a bounty of $350: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=sideshow-collectibles-the-child-life-sized-statue&captions=true"] Iger also hinted that Mandalorian spinoffs are a "possibility" after Season 2, heavily implying that the show might utilize more familiar Star Wars characters and allow them to headline their own shows after being introduced in the flagship Star Wars series. On the call, Iger revealed that Disney+ has amassed 28.6 million subscribers to date, which is an impressive number, considering the streamer made its debut just three months ago. “We had a strong first quarter, highlighted by the launch of Disney+, which has exceeded even our greatest expectations,” Iger said. “Thanks to our incredible collection of brands, outstanding content from our creative engines and state-of-the-art technology, we believe our direct-to-consumer services, including Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, position us well for continued growth in today’s dynamic media environment.” While Disney+ has grown substantially since its launch, the company still trails Netflix, which currently sits at over 158 million subscribers worldwide. In more Disney+ news, the company announced release months for Marvel's WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

According to a new report, the mysterious port on the back of the leaked Xbox Series X image may have been identified, and it could be for expandable storage. In a new report from Microsoft insider blog Thurrott, the long, narrow port between the HDMI and digital audio port may be meant for an expandable storage solution, though not one that we’ve seen on console hardware before. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=igns-top-25-xbox-one-games&captions=true"] Thurrott initially believed this port was for diagnostics, but sources say otherwise. “That port is for storage expansion, according to people familiar with [Microsoft’s] plans, and offers the series X a work-around as games continue to expand in size.” The port isn’t a traditional expandable storage unit port, however. It’s seemingly too big for an SD Card and too small for an SSD. Instead, a reader of the blog offered a different explanation: a Type B CFExpress card. The report agrees that the port could fit a CFExpress card, which can be used to add storage to a console. But CFExpress cards are currently quite expensive and models offering 512GB of storage cost as much as $600. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/xbox-series-x-console-announcement-trailer"] So either Microsoft is confident the price of CFExpress cards will drop considerably in the coming years or expanding the storage on an Xbox Series X could cost as much as the console itself. The latter appears unlikely. The report states that the port could still be used for non-CFExpress card options, or that the final product version of the Series X might drop the port altogether. But as of now, and at least on the pre-release model, there appears to be an option to expand the on-console storage. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/01/next-gen-console-watch-ps5-and-xbox-series-x-news-leaks-analysis"] This would be a plus regardless. Even with cloud saves, the size of games has been inching higher and higher, with games like Red Dead Redemption 2 taking up over 100GB of storage on consoles. A fifth of the available storage space on older, 500GB models. So any opportunity to increase storage is welcome, even if it’s another accessory you need for your new console.

The Lilo & Stitch live-action adaptation is set to start filming this fall and will be set to premiere as an original film on Disney+. According to Disinsider, Lilo & Stitch is set to be a live-action/CGI hybrid film that is set to start filming in Hawaii. They also report that the original voice for Stitch, Chris Sanders, is expected to reprise the role for the film adaptation. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-upcoming-disney-live-action-remake&captions=true"] Like the original 2002 animated series, Lilo & Stitch is about a lonely girl named Lilo who discovers a dangerous alien named Stich who is on the run from intergalactic forces. Stitch disguises themselves as a dog (sorta) and hides out with Lilo as the two become friends. When Lilo & Stitch was first released in 2002, it grossed $273 million at the box office on an $80 million budget. The success led to several sequels and spinoffs including a few DVD movie sequels and an animated TV series for the Disney Channel. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/03/marvel-studios-disney-plus-big-game-spot"] There’s no design yet for what Stitch might look like, but the character will presumably be in CGI unless Disney decides to go a more practical route for the character a la Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian. Check out the gallery above for everything coming to Disney+ including WandaVision, Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and Loki. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.

While the world waits for PlayStation's proper PS5 reveal event, the company has launched PlayStation 5's official website, asking fans to sign up for a newsletter while PlayStation is "not quite ready" to fully unveil its next-gen console. The PS5 website offers no new information about the upcoming console, referencing everything we already know about PS5's announced features. Specifically, the website explains that Sony's reveal of PlayStation 5's release date, price, and launch games is on the way:

"We've begun to share some of the incredible features you can expect from PlayStation 5, but we're not quite ready to fully unveil the next generation of PlayStation. Sign up below to be among the first to receive updates as we announce them, including news on the PS5 release date, PS5 price and the upcoming roster of PS5 launch games."

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=big-ps4-ps5-games-coming-in-2020&captions=true"] While the website promises information to come, we know it won't be at E3, as PlayStation has announced its absence from E3 2020. In regard to those "incredible features" PlayStation touts, we know PS5 will support backward compatibility and PSVR, 8K resolution, and much more. However, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan has said the "bigger differences" of Sony's next-gen console haven't been revealed. What Sony has officially revealed of the PS5 is its logo, while third parties like Gearbox Publishing have confirmed Godfall for Sony's next-gen system. While we haven't heard about specific first-party titles yet, other companies like Ubisoft and EA have spoken about games planned broadly for next-gen consoles like PS5. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/08/ps5-news-rumors-and-predictions-beyond-episode-625"] Otherwise, our information has come from alleged leaks, such as the supposed specs of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and photos of the alleged PS5 devkit.

Chris Pratt, who's ruled the box office with four appearances as Star-Lord in the MCU and as Raptor wrangler Owen Grady in two (soon to be three) Jurassic World films, is set to star in his first regular TV role since playing Andy on NBC's Parks and Recreation. It was announced that Pratt and director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) are developing The Terminal List with MRC Television (Ozark, House of Cards), with Fuqua set to direct and executive produce the series and Pratt intended to star and executive produce. As described in the press release, The Terminal List is a "conspiracy thriller that combines elevated action with deep psychological questions about the cost of pushing our nation’s highest trained operators too far." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=59-movies-to-geek-out-over-in-2020&captions=true"] The series will center on Pratt's Lieutenant Commander James Reece, who finds his entire platoon of Navy SEALs ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. When Reece returns home, he's bombarded with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. However, as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him. Pratt and Fuqua worked together previously on 2016's The Magnificent Seven remake, where Fuqua directed and Pratt starred alongside Training Day's Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. The Terminal List is based on the 2018 novel by Jack Carr. David DiGilio will write the series and executive produce.
