One Disneyland visitor reportedly succeeded in pulling King Arthur's sword from the stone, effectively breaking the famous Fantasyland prop. After initial reports that claimed the sword's sudden removal was a part of King Arthur Carrousel's upcoming refurbishment, WDW News Today reports (via Cinemablend) that it was actually a determined park visitor that yanked the hilt right out of place. Two separate witnesses both told WDWNT about the event, with one person saying, "My friend Sam broke it last week on the 8th when we went to Disneyland. He literally ripped it out. The staff said that it was really old and that's why he was able to do so." Sam's friend called him a "pretty buff dude," and added that it was his first time at Disneyland. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=star-wars-rise-of-the-resistance-full-disney-world-queue-photo-tour&captions=true"] Another witness said they watched a very burly man break the sword at Disneyland, saying, "At first it seemed as if he had pulled it out, but a cast quickly came over [because] he had in fact broken it. The sword has since been fully repaired and returned to its rightful place in Fantasyland. In the classic Disney tale The Sword in the Stone, Arthur successfully pulls the blade from the stone and is crowned as the true king. It doesn't appear that Sam was crowned as the King of Fantasyland after breaking the display.

Amazon Studios and the Russo brothers have announced that Game of Thrones star Richard Madden and Quantico's Priyanka Chopra Jonas will star in the upcoming Citadel series. In addition to casting announcements, Amazon also revealed that the local language production of the series would originate in Mexico, in addition to the Italy and India versions which were previously announced. Further, Madden and Chopra will be headlining the U.S. "mothership" edition, which we will explain later on. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=nominees-best-tv-series-of-2019&captions=true"] Madden is likely best known for his role as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones - however, he also played a major role in BBC's Bodyguard and the Elton John biopic, Rocketman. Further, Madden is set to star in Marvel's upcoming Eternals film. Chopra has also appeared in The Sky is Pink. Additionally, she is set to star in Netflix's We Can Be Heroes and an untitled Indian wedding comedy. The Citadel is described as a "groundbreaking global event multi-series" and will air exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon Studios told TheWarp that The Citadel will be an "action-packed spy series, with a compelling emotional center." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/19/amazon-prime-video-review-2019"] The show will technically be three different series, according to Jen Salke, head of Amazon Studios. The "mothership" version, which will star Madden and Chopra, will be the main series, and then the Italy and India versions will serve as side stories of sorts for the characters. A release date has not been announced yet, but the series is expected to begin production this year. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Andrew Smith is a freelance contributor with IGN.

Amazon Studios has announced the production of a TV series based on Lee Child's bestselling book series, Jack Reacher. The first season will follow the narrative from Child's first novel, titled "The Killing Floor," which was published back in 1997. The 24 books in the series follow the adventures of the former US Army military police major, Jack Reacher, as he investigates dangerous crimes in his new civilian life. Amazon Studios will produce the show alongside Skydance Television and Paramount Television Studios. Nick Santora, known for his work on Prison Break and Scorpion, will write, executive produce, and act as showrunner for the upcoming series. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/18/igns-best-tv-series-of-2019"] “Lee Child has created an incredible character and world; it will be the goal of every writer, producer, actor, executive and crew member to capture the essence of Mr. Child’s books - and luckily Lee has been there, and will continue to be there, to help guide us along the way in this series. He is the pulse of Reacher,” said Santora. Child also weighed in on the conversion over his books being adapted to TV saying, “It’s been great so far, but really, the fun starts here. By now I know these guys, and Reacher is in the perfect hands, believe me.” If you're looking for more to do with your Amazon Prime membership, season 4 of The Expanse was released last month and has one of the best scores on Metacritic for 2019 with Season 5 already on order. You can also get some daily deals using the Prime discount or maybe you need help choosing a VPN to get past location blockers.

The Arrowverse is about to get even bigger. As reported by The Wrap, The CW has officially given a full series order to Superman & Lois. First announced as being in development in October 2019, Superman & Lois is a spinoff of Supergirl featuring Tyler Hoechlin's Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch's Lois Lane. The series will follow the duo as they juggle their respective journalism careers, Superman's costumed adventures and the newfound pressures of raising their son Jon. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=arrow-crisis-on-infinite-earths-part-four-photos&captions=true"] The new series is produced by Berlanti Productions and will be written and executive produced by Arrowverse veteran Todd Helbing. No other casting announcements have been made. We recently asked Jon Cryer if he'd be interested in reprising his role as Lex Luthor for the series, but Cryer is remaining mum about Lex Luthor's future. "All I can say is, it's absolutely a show I will watch, but I have no idea," said Cryer. "It was very funny because I was shooting the very last of the crossover stuff, and I was under the impression that Tyler [Hoechlin] was done, and I get out of the plane, and there's Tyler. It was right after they had announced his show, and I was like, 'Oh, my God! Wait, what does this mean?' But it's so funny because, I don't know what it means. Nobody has said a word to me about that show." Superman & Lois isn't the only new Arrowverse series in development. The penultimate episode of Arrow will also serve as a backdoor pilot for Green Arrow and the Canaries, a spinoff starring Katherine McNamara's Mia Queen, Katie Cassidy's Laurel Lance and Juliana Harkavy's Dinah Drake. The CW also announced a series order for Walker, Texas Ranger, a reboot of the original Chuck Norris series starring Supernatural's Jared Padalecki. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/27/arrowverse-the-road-to-crisis-on-infinite-earths"] Neither Superman & Lois nor Walker, Texas Ranger have been given a premiere date yet. Where exactly The CW will find room for these new shows is anyone's guess, as the network recently renewed almost all its current ongoing series (including Batwoman, The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow) for the 2020-2021 season.
