Red Dead Redemption 2 Confirmed to Feature John Marston
The latest trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 has finally revealed that the last game’s protagonist, John Marston will make an appearance.
We see two brief shots of a younger Marston, fresh from receiving his trademark scars, and clearly in trouble with what looks to be a rival gang.
It was always likely that Marston would appear considering his connection to the Van Der Linde gang. In the first game, Marston was coerced into tracking down members of the gang he was once a part of. The new game, set before the events of the first, sees you play as Dutch Van der Linde’s right-hand man, Arthur Morgan.
Ryan Reynolds Is Unsure if Deadpool 3 Will Happen
Ryan Reynolds doesn't know if Deadpool 3 will happen.
Speaking to EW, Reynolds touched on the possibility of making a third film in the franchise, saying he's unsure at this time. According to the actor, Deadpool 3 might be a bit derivative. However, Reynolds does see the X-Force as being the next logical step for the Merc with a Mouth.
“I don’t know that there would be a Deadpool 3. I really don’t,” Reynolds said. “I feel like the character, in order for him to function properly within his own universe, you need to take everything away from him. I don’t think that you can keep doing that.
Paladins Leaving Early Access Next Week
After more than a year and a half in early access, free-to-play shooter Paladins will officially launch on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on May 8.
While the launch patch has already been pushed into the live game, adding a Battle Pass system along with other changes, Developer Hi-Rez Studios says the official launch marks its commitment to the current direction of the game. Paladins will still regularly receive updates with new content, bug fixes, and more, but Hi-Rez doesn’t plan to make any more major system changes.
Leading up to the launch, every champion in the game will be temporarily unlocked for all players until May 7. Paladins will also be giving 200 Crystals ($5 worth of premium currency) to anyone who has played before May 8 and then logs in between May 8 and May 31.
Elizabeth Olsen Wants a New Costume for Scarlet Witch
Elizabeth Olsen wants a new, less-revealing costume for Scarlet Witch although she acknowledges that they're more about creating "iconic images" than "representing the average woman."
Olsen talked about her character's costume in an interview with Elle, saying that she's happy to wear a corset, but she'd prefer it to be less revealing. "I like corsets, but I'd like it to be higher," she said.
"Everyone has these things that cover them—Tessa Thompson
does, Scarlett
does. I would like to cover up a bit. It's funny because sometimes I look around and I'm just like—wow, I'm the only one who has cleavage, and that's a constant joke because they haven't really evolved my superhero costume that much."
When Does The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3 Premiere?
If you're still reeling from The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 finale (which debuted on July 11 on Hulu in the US, and on August 12 on Channel 4 in the UK), you'll be pleased to know that the dystopian series will return for Season 3 next year. That means we won't have too long to wait and see how June intends to bring down Gilead, following her decision to stay in the oppressive country after sending her second daughter Nicole to safety with Emily.
Back in May, Hulu announced that the award-winning show starring Elisabeth Moss has been renewed, although the network didn't announce how many episodes Season 3 would contain. Season 1 consisted of 10 installments, while Season 2 was bumped up to 13.
Iron Man Turns 10: Read IGN’s Review of the First MCU Movie
The first Iron Man movie opened 10 years ago today and with it the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it was born, culminating a decade later in this past weekend's record-smashing release of Avengers: Infinity War.
It is easy to forget now how risky 2008's Iron Man was -- that he was deemed a lower-tier Marvel character, hardly the cornerstone of what would become an industry-changing movie empire.
IGN's reviewer, Todd Gilchrist, weighed the film within the context of a time where there was no MCU, Robert Downey Jr. was a talented, but troubled actor looking for a comeback role, and Iron Man being a Marvel origin story movie released in the wake of 2005's highly influential DC movie Batman Begins. (You may also recall that the MCU's Phase One movies were released by Paramount Pictures and not Disney, who wouldn't buy Marvel until August 2009.)
Extremity’s Masterful Revenge Tale Preys On Your Fear of Losing What Matters Most
Extremity by writer-artist Daniel Warren Johnson is a comic book with a story as bloody as it is personal, told with art so tragically beautiful that you can’t tear your eyes away. It takes place in a fictional world fully realized from the first page, opening a path for the reader to follow into its apocalyptic landscape filled with warring clans, retrofuturistic technology, and flying fortresses. But what makes Johnson’s 12-part epic one of the best comics in recent memory is how it’s driven by a uniquely personal tragedy suffered by main protagonist Thea. An artist by trade, Johnson’s greatest fear has always been losing his ability to draw, and so he injected that fear into his story in brutal fashion: when Thea’s village is raided by a rival clan in the opening pages of the story, a cruel warrior slices off her pencil hand.
Nintendo: New President Plans to ‘Expand’ Mobile Presence
Nintendo's new president, Shuntaro Furukawa, says he wants to expand the company's mobile presence with more smartphone games.
In an interview with Nikkei, Furukawa said that he wants to grow the company's mobile games output into a 100 billion yen ($910 billion USD) business, and hopes to echo the success of Niantic's Pokemon Go.
"From what I can see, smartphone games are the ones I want to expand the most," he told the outlet, adding that, "The idea that something will emerge that transforms into something big, in the same manner as game consoles, is the defining motive of the Nintendo business."
