Is Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man Really in Marvel’s Black Widow Movie?
Rumors started circulating around Robert Downey Jr. appearing in Marvel Studios' Black Widow film after Deadline stated the news in an article about the 2019 Saturn Award winners last week.
The line said, "Downey will be seen in the role of Stark one more time, however, in the Marvel prequel Black Widow in May 2020."
Without a source to back up that sentence or any other details, it is unclear whether or not Downey will in fact be in the movie, and if so, will he be shooting new scenes for the movie or will he appear in past footage?

Netflix in October: Breaking Bad Movie, Big Mouth, Dolemite, and More
Netflix in October means a bunch of different, wonderful things.
There's the third season of critically-acclaimed (and hormonally-charged) animated series Big Mouth, along with new seasons of Peaky Blinders and The Kominsky Method. There's Dolemite is My Name, starring Eddie Murphy as real-life legend Rudy Ray Moore, a comedian who created a famous Blaxploitation alter ego. Paul Rudd acts opposite himself in the new surreal series Living with Yourself. Oh, and there's also a prank series hosted by Stranger Things' Gaten Matarazzo and a hip-hop competition show judged by Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and T.I.
But mostly Netflix in October is about the freakin' Breaking Bad movie!
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint – Lil Wayne Builds His Dream Fireteam
Lil Wayne is many things: an award-winning rapper, record label executive, and actor. Turns out, he's also a pretty big gamer. He recently starred in a live-action commercial for the upcoming Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, and I was given the opportunity to sit down with him to talk about all things Ghost Recon -- most importantly, I needed to know who he'd recruit for his own personal fireteam. There's one twist though: being a famous Wayne, I decided to to only allow other famous Wayne's on his team. You can see the result of that challenge by clicking the video above.
Also, since I figured Lil Wayne had done a concert or two in his career, I decided to pick his brain about his feelings toward virtual reality live-shows. For years, folks have speculated about the potential VR has beyond just gaming, and one thing I hear come up a lot is the idea of using a virtual reality headset to attend something like a live concert or even an E3 press-conference. As it turns out, not only has he wanted this for awhile, but he's even thought of ways to elevate it even further. You can check his full thoughts on virtual reality in the video below.
Baldur’s Gate is Finally Coming to Consoles and You Can See Gameplay Now
There are a handful of classic RPGs built on the Infinity engine and based on the vintage Dungeons & Dragons experience that turned out not only to be some of the best D&D roleplaying games ever made but some of the best roleplaying games of all time. Games like Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale, still pull on those nostalgia heartstrings 20 years later, and they're making another comeback.
While developer Beamdog has been quietly releasing enhanced editions of these great roleplaying games over the last few years on PC, the news that the developer is partnering with Skybound Entertainment to release the enhanced versions to consoles for the first time should be anything but quiet. Think about it: Baldur's Gate on your Nintendo Switch. That's awesome. Fortunately, we got our hands on a few early builds of the ports, and you can check out gameplay of Baldur's Gate 1, 2, and Icewind Dale enhanced editions running on the PlayStation 4 in the video above before they're released later this year.
Netflix: Everything Leaving in October
Netflix's official "Last Call" list for October is out, detailing all the movies and TV shows that will be leaving the site next month.
Critically acclaimed/award-winning movies like All the President's Men, Bonnie and Clyde, Platoon, Deliverance, and Quiz Show will be taking a powder, along with magnificent monster flicks like Gremlins and Cloverfield.
It's also worth noting that The Fall's first season is leaving since it will leave behind Seasons 2 and 3, which are technically Netflix Originals here in the U.S. But Netflix only picked it up here post-Season 1. So if you've been wanting to catch that Gillian Anderson/Jamie Dornan series, you've only got a few weeks left until the first five episodes vanish.
