Why Frozen 2 Won’t Give Elsa a Love Interest
Since the release of Frozen in 2013, the characters Elsa and Anna have captured the hearts and minds of many, and their integration into the larger Disney world -- from theme parks to short films to even a season of Once Upon a Time -- have led to many speculating what the sisters' lives are outside of that one movie.
The Disney film's hit song, "Let It Go," became an LGBTQ anthem, and fans who interpreted the song's themes about embracing who you are inside as exploring a coming out story have been petitioning the filmmakers since the Frozen 2 announcement to #GiveElsaaGirlfriend. The first trailer for Frozen 2 fueled fan speculation when a new female character was briefly glimpsed, causing some to think this could be a love interest for Elsa.

GreedFall’s Flexible Combat Feels Fantastic to Play
GreedFall has quietly flown under my radar since it’s announcement back in 2017, but finally caught my eye by chance when I saw a giant, tree-like monster fighting the main character on one of our displays at the office after E3 this year Magic, swords, and monsters are up-my-alley--so I was excited to play a hands-on demo with developer Spiders at Gamescom 2019. I went in a bit skeptical, but left with GreedFall as one of my most anticipated games this year.
GreedFall is a big historical-fantasy RPG with plenty of systems to dive into and things to get side-tracked by while exploring. You can read a great overview of what GreedFall is here, and watch this developer interview with gameplay below to learn more. Here’s a quick rundown before we get into how it feels to play, which is, spoiler: fun.
Spider-Man Ride is at the Heart of Disney’s Avengers Campus Theme Park Expansion
Spider-Man may be leaving the MCU (at least for now), but the web-slinger will still be front and center at Disney's theme parks around the world. At Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, Disney Parks chairman Bob Chapek previewed the upcoming Avengers Campus expansion coming to Disney's California Adventure, Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland, which will open with a new Spider-Man centric ride.
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad Adds Nathan Fillion
A James Gunn favorite is joining his upcoming DC film, The Suicide Squad: Nathan Fillion.
Deadline reports Fillion will be playing an as-yet unrevealed role, saying the part is being "kept under wraps."
Fillion is one of Gunn's closest friends and has appeared in many of his projects. In addition to playing Bill Pardy in 2006's Slither and the Holy Avenger in 2010's Super, Fillion had a very CG-heavy cameo in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy as the "monstrous inmate" the Guardians face off against on Kyln.
Marvel’s Avengers: 11 Legendary Heroes Who Need to be DLC
Marvel's Avengers will give players the chance to take direct control of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Or some of them, anyway. The game looks to be focusing on a core cast that includes Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Black Widow. That barely scratches the surface of Marvel heroes who have served as Avengers over the decades. Fortunately, we know developer Crystal Dynamics will be releasing new characters as free DLC post-release.
While there are literally hundreds of characters to choose from, we assume Crystal Dynamics will be sticking to characters with similar powers and abilities as that main cast of five. After all, they can't risk breaking the balance of a game with a significant online component. With that in mind, here are the Marvel heroes we want to see as playable DLC.

Holland & Pratt Recorded Onward Scenes Together for Emotional Impact
We caught up with the filmmakers behind Pixar Animation’s upcoming fantasy Onward at Disney’s D23 Expo on Saturday, who revealed that unlike in most animated films they were able to actually get their main stars together to record -- albeit just once.
Onward stars MCU veterans Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left in the world. Set in a modern fantasy world, Disney and Pixar’s Onward is inspired by director Dan Scanlon’s personal experiences with his brother.
Scanlon revealed they were able to actually record with Holland and Pratt together at one point. “We were able to get them together once and it was so fun just watching them talk to each other,” Scanlon said. “They’re clearly friends and watching them make each other laugh. And just this sort of big brotherly quality Chris has with Tom.”
