Free Guy: Ninja Joins Ryan Reynolds Comedy
Ryan Reynolds dropped a first look at his upcoming adventure-comedy Free Guy at NYCC today, as well as the news that several popular streamers will be appearing in the film, including Ninja, Jacksepticeye, Pokimane, and LazarBeam.
A poster for Free Guy was also revealed at the panel, which was moderated by IGN’s own Terri Schwartz.
It makes sense that personalities like Ninja would be a part of Free Guy, as the film has Reynolds starring as a seemingly regular guy who realizes that his life isn’t what he thought it was at all: He’s actually an NPC (non-player character) in an open-world video game.
Birds of Prey Costume Reveal at NYCC Shows Off Harley Quinn
The costumes worn in Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn have been revealed at New York Comic Con, showing off the main characters' details in the upcoming film.
Five outfits were shown, including Harley Quinn and her crew of dames: Black Canary, Cassandra Cain, Huntress, and Renee Montoya.
An up close look at details on the iconic new look for Harley Quinn, which was shown in the first teaser for Birds of Prey, can be seen in the photos, including a hot pink midriff top with matching hot pink suspenders; a metal choker adorned with crosses; brightly-colored tassels coming off the shoulders that look to be made from plastic bags and yellow "caution" tape; a clear-zippered vest; and ripped up denim shorts with stars and stripes painted on them.
The Kings Man: New Footage Debuts at New York Comic Con
Director Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class) is returning to the world of Kingsman with the “there’s a space in the title now” The King’s Man, a prequel tale which depicts the origin of Britain’s super-secret spy service. And they fight freaking Rasputin in this one!
Vaughn, Ralph Fiennes (who plays the Duke of Oxford), Djimon Hounsou (Shola) and Harris Dickinson (Conrad) were all on hand at New York Comic Con today to talk up the film and show off some new footage during a panel moderated by IGN’s beloved Terri Schwartz.
Vaughn explained his thinking behind doing a Kingsman origin story. “I think it’s important as an artist to keep pushing your boundaries,” he said. “This is going to sounds pretentious, and we’re never going to win an Oscar, but … I wanted to do a love letter to the movies I grew up on.
Untitled Goose Game ‘Definitely Not Confirmed’ For PS4 and Xbox One (Yet)
Untitled Goose Game is honking all across the Nintendo Switch and PC, but it might be some time before the goose finds its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. House-House has told IGN that other console ports of the goose game are “not confirmed,” despite earlier reports.
“Definitely not confirmed,” House-House developer Stuart Gillespie-Cooke told IGN in an email after we reached out for clarification on a potential port. The question was prompted by an ABC Australia story about Untitled Goose Game in which a PS4 and Xbox One port were hinted at.
House-House has told IGN that it would request ABC Australia to amend its story, and it appears the story has been corrected.

Wheel of Time Cast Unite for First Table Read: Watch the Video
The cast of Amazon’s Wheel of Time series has finally assembled and read through the script for the season’s first episode.
Captured on camera for a promotional video uploaded to The Wheel of Time’s Instagram feed, the table read sees the entire cast of episode one sit together to act out the script. Principle among these actors is Rosamund Pike, who plays central character Moiraine.
The Wheel of Time is positioned as one of Amazon’s two contenders to Game of Thrones’.. erm… throne. A high fantasy series based on the novels of the same name, it features swords and sorcery in a world where the power of magic is reserved only for women. Pike’s Moiraine journeys with five other protagonists, and believes one of them might be the reincarnation of a powerful individual whom prophecies say will either save humanity or destroy it.

After being announced last month, Return of the Obra Dinn has now set its arrival date for console ports.
Developer Lucas Pope posted on Twitter that the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game will land on October 18. The date comes accompanied with a rather striking image in the game’s signature graphical style, showing the game being played on CRT TVs (not quite the right period, but close enough I guess).
