Die Hard 6 Will Be Called ‘McClane’
Die Hard 6 will officially be called "McClane."
Speaking to Empire, the film's producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed the title while also confirming Bruce Willis will heavily feature in the movie.
Die Hard 6, originally rumored to be called Die Hard: Year One, will follow a 60-year-old McClane and a younger McClane in his 20s as well. But despite the supposed time jumps, di Bonaventura has reassured fans Willis will still have a large role in the film.
“I don’t know how you do Die Hard without Bruce,” di Bonaventura said. “The idea that he’s not very significant in this movie is not accurate at all. We are gonna explore John McClane in his twenties. But just as prominent is the 60-year-old version.”
Guardians 3’s Dave Bautista: ‘I Don’t Know If I Want To Work For Disney’
Dave Bautista is unsure if he wants to work for Disney on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 following James Gunn's recent firing.
While on the Jonathan Ross Show, Bautista touched on his future with the Guardians franchise, reiterating that he's not too happy with the way Disney has treated Gunn.
"Yeah there's a bit of an issue, it’s a bitter-sweet conversation," Bautista said. "Um, no it’s a bitter-bitter conversation because I’m not really happy with what they’ve done with James Gunn. They’re putting the movie off. It’s on hold indefinitely and to be honest with you, I don’t know if I want to work for Disney."
Incredibles 2 Becomes the First Animated Film to Cross $600 Million at US Box Office

Per Box Office Mojo, the film hit the milestone over Labor Day weekend, and is the 9th movie to hit it. Incredibles 2 is now also the highest grossing animated film, making an estimated $1.16 billion worldwide.
The record was previously held by 2016's Finding Dory, which ended up making roughly $486 million in the U.S. and $1.028 million worldwide.
Incredibles 2 reached the $1 billion mark not too long ago. It's currently trailing behind only Avengers: Infinity War in the US summer box office for 2018.

Anthem’s Story DLC Will Be Free
Bioware has confirmed that although its upcoming multiplayer action-RPG Anthem will feature post-launch story content, all of these releases will be free of charge.
The news comes courtesy of GameRant, which reports that Bioware made the announcement during its PAX West Panel.
Bioware hasn't given any further details about what Anthem's post-launch content will look like, but given that the announcement has specifically mentioned that there will be no charge for story content it's likely there will be some sort of paid DLC on the horizon. Bioware has previously insisted that the game won't feature loot boxes and won't give players the ability to "pay for power", but that doesn't rule out cosmetic enhancements of some sort dropping as part of a paid DLC package.
Wonder Woman 1984 Brings Back Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright
Wonder Woman 1984 will bring back Robin Wright's Antiope and Connie Nielsen's Queen Hippolyta.
Warning: Spoilers for Wonder Woman follow...
Per NET-A-PORTER, Wright and Nielsen will be shooting a flashback sequence in Spain soon for the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel.
Antiope died in the original Wonder Woman film. However, so did Chris Pine's Steve Trevor and he's also set to appear in the sequel in what seems to be a large role. Nielsen and Wright also made cameos in Justice League, but Wright's role was ultimately cut.
Streets of Rage 4 Is the Same Great Beat ‘Em Up With a Cool New Art Style
To play Streets of Rage 4 feels pretty much exactly like I hoped it would: Like playing Streets of Rage. While the beat ‘em up genre has seen a number of variations since Streets of Rage first hit the gaming streets, it felt wonderful for a few minutes to be transported back into the flow of one of my favorite Genesis games.
From the second I pushed forward on the D-Pad, Axel and Blaze moved, punched, kicked, and body slammed with the cadence and fury that I remembered. Axel could still grapple enemies and heave them over his head — always a satisfying take down — and Blaze could high kick foes like Nora and Big Ben into oblivion. It was easy to fall back into the rhythm of trapping foes into a flurry of punches only to lay down a massive kick and decimate a whole wave of them.
