Watch Dogs Legion Leaks and Rumors

Black Adam: Shazam! Spin-Off Reportedly Lands a Director
Dwayne Johnson's long-gestating Black Adam movie has reportedly taken a big step closer to becoming a reality.
Variety reports (via the Observer) that filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows, Non-Stop, Unknown) is in negotiations to direct the Shazam! spin-off. Adam Sztykiel (Rampage) penned the most recent draft of the screenplay.
Johnson and Collet-Serra recently worked together on Disney's Jungle Cruise, due out in 2020.
According to the trade, "Johnson was very impressed with how Collet-Serra handled himself on such a large production and was surprised how seamlessly he was able to transition from darker material to much lighter material with such ease. Once production ended on Jungle Cruise, the decision to name him the director of Black Adam was an easy one to make."

Opinion: Why I Want an Overwatch Story Campaign More than Overwatch 2
Editor's Note: This piece was originally published in June, but we've repromoted it and updated sections of it in time for Blizzcon.
For a game I still spend up to 20 hours a week playing, I’ll be the first to admit that Overwatch does have its problems. Yes, the inherent problems of balancing a 30-plus character hero-shooter roster plague it, the issues of its loot box culture are well documented, and not all are onboard with the new role lock system. None of these, however, affect my enjoyment of Overwatch enough; it’s still my favourite game.

Weaver Says She, Murray and Aykroyd Back for Ghostbusters
Sigourney Weaver claims she will reprise her role as Dana Barrett in director Jason Reitman's upcoming Ghostbusters movie -- and that her former co-stars Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd will join her!
In an interview with Parade Magazine, Weaver -- who portrayed musician Dana Barrett, Peter Venkman's love interest, in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II -- confirmed that she will return for Reitman's film, which has previously been described as a sequel to the original films and not a reboot or continuation of the previous 2016 reboot.
What We Want From Gears 5 At E3
Kait Diaz is the lead in Gears 5 and I am absolutely ecstatic. Her taking JD’s place as the protagonist means a lot to me personally, but with how Gears of War 4 played out, it only makes sense that the story shifts to her perspective. If you haven't finished Gears 4, this is your spoiler warning.
Gears 4's massive cliffhanger about Kait's heritage opens the door for all sorts of story options. What really are the Locust? How does Kait's family relate to them? And what about the Swarm? So many questions, and while we probably won't get any hints at an answer at E3, I do hope we'll learn more about Gears 5's gameplay on Microsoft's stage.
Tom Holland Talks About First Spider-Man Screen Tests
In the newly released Netflix show from director Jon Favreau and chef Roy Choi – The Chef Show – Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, and the Russo brothers are featured in an episode where they end up sharing insights into Holland's first steps as Spider-Man.
While sitting around a table having oysters, Feige asked Holland how long it was from the moment he was cast as Spider-Man until he was in front of the camera, in which Holland responded, "It was like four days or something like that."
"I did the first screen test with you (RDJ) and the second screen test with Chris and then waited about a month, and then found out and flew straight out," Holland explained.
FIFA 20 Release Date Announced
FIFA 20 has an official release date of September 27, 2019.
Announced by the EA Sports FIFA Twitter account, FIFA 20 will have its full reveal during the EA Play livestream starting tomorrow. The brief video that announced the release date only confirmed FIFA 20 would be coming to PS4, but considering FIFA 19 came to PC, PS4, Xbox One and a port came to Nintendo Switch, it’s likely it will make it to the same platforms again.
E3 2019: Nintendo Conference Date, Time, Predictions, and Announcements
Nintendo's E3 Direct is scheduled to begin on today, June 11 at 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm UK (June 12 at 2am AET).
We already got a few Nintendo Switch surprises ahead of the Nintendo Direct, but if history is any indicator, there are plenty more to come. During its E3 2019 conference last night, Square Enix announced a remastered Final Fantasy VIII is coming to Switch (among other systems).
The Nintendo Switch era has see a fire relit under Nintendo. While some of its best games came out for the Wii U, the Wii U itself wasn't a success. However, the Nintendo Switch has been a dominant force in gaming since its release, and many of those overlooked Wii U games made their way to the hybrid console. But it's more than just ports of Wii U games. Nintendo's core franchises, like Super Mario, Pokemon, and Metroid, are all on, or making their way to, the Nintendo Switch.
