The Boss Baby 2 Officially Announced for a 2021 Release
The Boss Baby 2 has officially been announced and will be released in theaters on March 26, 2021.
DreamWorks Animation's sequel to its box office hit will bring back the core creative team behind The Boss Baby, with Alec Baldwin returning to voice the title character. No word yet if stars Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, and Tobey Magquire will return as well.
Directed by Tom McGrath (Megamind), The Boss Baby is based on award-winning author Marla Frazee’s picture-book series and follows the story of a suit-wearing baby who, with the help from his seven-year-old brother, tries to stop the dastardly plot of the CEO of Puppy Co.
The Bossy Baby placed first in its opening weekend at the box office in the United States and grossed an estimated worldwide total of $468.4 million. Read IGN's review of The Boss Baby, which we thought was an unpleasant "speed-fueled trip through a kids book."
The Evolution of Game of Thrones Characters
With the countdown to Game of Thrones' seventh season underway (check out the first full trailer here), we should probably all take a look back at the savage and arduous journeys that the show's main characters have been through since the show premiered back in 2011.
We've watched the mighty fall, the weak get powerful, and children literally grow up before our eyes. Sellswords have become knights, pimps have risen to Lordships, and honored daughters have become rogue assassins. The Game of Thrones gallery is rife with change and many of these characters have endured torture and harsh horrors that worked to shape and mold them through the series.
Battle Royale-Style Game The Culling Headed to Xbox One
Popular battle royale-style game The Culling is heading to Xbox One's Game Preview program on June 2, developer Xaviant announced.
The Culling has been out for PC since last year and is still in Early Access on Steam. Pricing for the full Xbox release is not yet known, however, the PC version costs $25. According to Xaviant, The Culling captures "the spirit of the battle royale experience" and is inspired by films like The Hunger Games and Battle Royale.
Players are dropped into a deadly game show where contestants must trap, hunt, scavenge, and ultimately murder each other in a span of 25 minutes with no respawns. Players have a variety of weapons at their disposal, including chainsaws, sledgehammers, and steel punji sticks.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Staff Recruiting for Development
The first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake may still be a ways off from release, if recruitment messages from the core staff behind the project are any indication.
Members from Square Enix's Business Division 1, including director director Tetsuya Nomura, producer Yoshinori Kitase and development leader Naoki Hamaguchi, posted recruitment letters on Square Enix's official site. According to Nomura's message, translation courtesy of Siliconera, the team is "urgently" seeking additional talent to join the development team.
Logan Director Reveals Jean Grey Deleted Scene
Full spoilers follow for Logan.
With Logan now out on Blu-ray, the film’s director James Mangold has been talking again about the final outing for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. I sat down with the helmer recently to delve a little deeper into the film, and we talked about a variety of things including the shocking scene that was originally meant to open Logan.
Another moment from the film that I specifically wanted to ask Mangold about was the dinner scene featuring Logan, Xavier, Laura and the family, including actor Eriq La Salle, that plays host to them for the night. It’s a very warm, quiet stopover for the film which manages to allude to Logan and Xavier’s past while also driving home how deep their relationship goes. But Mangold explained that originally that scene also included a reference to another X-Man: the late Jean Grey.

Can Boruto Live Up to Naruto’s Legacy?
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is only a few episodes into its first season, and even though it hasn’t had much time, it has a lot to live up to. It’s been a slow, character-focused start.
Crunchyroll’s Naruto expert and Brand Manager, Victoria Holden, joins me in discussing what Boruto as a series needs to do to live up to its predecessor. In the video above we discuss things we’d like to see change from Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, and what opportunities Boruto has to expand on the ninja world.
