Taika Waititi Returning for Thor 4 With Chris Hemsworth

Taika Waititi, director of Thor: Ragnarok, has signed a deal to direct and write Thor 4, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The deal puts Waititi’s other major project, Warner Bros’ new Akira film, in a bit of a bind, though. Akira was planned for an April 2021 release, and Waititi had reportedly been testing actors for central roles up until recently. The inevitable clash between production dates has resulted in Akira being delayed. According to THR, script development concerns on Akira were also a source of film shooting delays, pushing the anime adaptation back into Thor 4’s likely production window.

Control: Full Side Mission Gameplay – IGN First

Control's side missions are no joke. Remedy hasn't really made games with optional quests before, but it's not tip-toeing around for its first try. The Max Payne and Alan Wake creator has created an explorable world for its new supernatural shooter, and some of its darkest corners hide its toughest challenges. This is one such example.

As you travel through the Research floor of the Federal Bureau of Control's headquarters, The Oldest House, you might spot a hallway covered in... something. Following that... something leads you to a Bureau professor obsessed with an unusual mold that appears to be spreading through the House, and sends you (and your gun) on a trip to collect samples.
