Musou Stars Announced for PS4 and PS Vita
A new title that mixes much of Koei Tecmo's IP was unveiled today on stage at Tokyo Game Show.

Daniel Radcliffe on Whether He’d Return to Harry Potter
Following reports that Warner Bros. is looking to get Daniel Radcliffe back for another Harry Potter film, the actor has come forward to address whether he'd be up for reprising his iconic role as "the boy who lived."

With his intelligence and resources, the King of Wakanda acting as an anti-hero could mean a number of things for the character's solo movie — which hits theaters February 16, 2018. His revenge-driven path in Captain America: Civil War ultimately ended peacefully, but Boseman's statement could hint at different direction for the character moving forward.
