Who Is the Best Spider-Man? Half of IGN Readers Vote Tom Holland

Based on a user poll run on IGN's front page, Tom Holland is our readers' favorite Spider-Man actor.

Based on over 40,000 votes from our readers, Tom Holland's current stint as the wall crawler has proven to be nearly half of our readers' favorite portrayal of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. It's fitting, too, considering his next Spider-Man film comes out just next week.

In our Spider-Man: Far From Home review, we called the film "Great" saying "The movie sets the table for some exciting new adventures ahead for Spider-Man and his place in the MCU, pitting him against an antagonist who preys on Peter Parker’s fears and insecurities in ways no other villain quite has yet."

The Little Mermaid: Melissa McCarthy in Talks to Play Ursula

Melissa McCarthy, star of Bridesmaids, Mike & Molly and many more, is in early talks to play Ursula in Disney's live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid.

Mary Poppins Returns director Rob Marshall will be directing the film which will feature the original songs from the 1989 classic, but also will include new songs from Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

New Spidey Movie Cut This Obscure Star Wars Reference Tom Holland Didn’t Get

We're just a few days away from the upcoming summer blockbuster Spider-Man: Far From Home, a movie that is already impressing critics. And with a two hour and nine-minute runtime, the film is already packed with web-slinging action and heartfelt character moments. But it seems it was almost just a little bit longer, as the details of a deleted scene have recently surfaced. And it's sort of a weird one.

In a recent interview with Uproxx, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland revealed a deleted scene from the film that involved Peter Parker selling off a bunch of old toys in order to get a gift for his girlfriend. One of those toys, as it turns out, was based on an Empire Strikes Back character that most Star Wars fans probably don't think about very often.

Days Gone Challenge Mode Released Today

Days Gone's latest free content update adds a standalone Challenge Mode, which will see 12 weeks of challenges added to the Sony Bend PS4 exclusive. Players can take part in the first challenge, "Surrounded," starting today.

As detailed in the latest Days Gone patch notes on Reddit, the first free DLC challenge "Surrounded" pits players against a never-ending horde of Freakers. Players will have to use weapons, the environment, and whatever traps are at their disposal to take down Freakers, and doing so will increase your timer to keep battling the horde.

Every Friday for the next 12 weeks (this week included), a new challenge will unlock in the new mode (exact times are to be determined), but players can compete in the challenges whenever they are available to earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold rankings. Doing so will earn players credits, allowing them to buy new characters, custom accents, and rings. And, once players complete a challenge, they'll earn a Patch specific to that challenge, which Deacon will wear in both this mode as well as in the story mode.

What Breath of the Wild 2 Might Mean for the Zelda Timeline

The Legend of Zelda's timeline is long, complicated and notoriously messy. With 19 mainline entries, and one more on the way, it's understandable that things have gotten a bit unwieldy. Even then, most timelines don't include a split that generates three separate timelines rife with floods, parallel dimensions and resurrected demons.

The latest Zelda game, Breath of the Wild, simultaneously exists at the end of all three of these timelines, yet is strangely disconnected from each of them. The E3 2019 Breath of the Wild 2 trailer, however, suggests both it and its predecessor will finally have a much more concrete spot in this ever-growing legend.
