X-Men Producer on Finding ‘Unique Tone’ for Gambit

X-Men producer Simon Kinberg shared a few new details on several of 20th Century Fox's upcoming mutant-focused films, including the studio's upcoming Deadpool sequel and Gambit.

In an interview with /Film at the Television Critics Association, Kinberg said fans can expect Deadpool 2 to feature commentary on "anything that's happening in movies today especially in superhero movies." He also said the the sheer quantity of comic book films and their sequels "is definitely something we'll play around with."

With regard to who will star as Cable, Kinberg dashed hopes of Stephen Lang assuming the role, saying the part has yet to be cast. While Lang has made it clear he'd like to play Cable, his commitment to the Avatar sequels may conflict with him taking on the role.

Mr. Robot: What Lines Won’t Joanna Cross?

Warning: Full spoilers for the most recent episode of Mr. Robot follow.

Introduced as a recurring character in Season 1, Mr. Robot’s Joanna Wellick (Stephanie Corneliussen) quickly became a standout element of the USA series, proving she was just as calculated and motivated as her husband, Tyrell (Martin Wallström) – but perhaps even more dangerous, given she wasn’t as prone to flying off the handle and losing control as Tyrell.

Season 2 has seen Corneliussen promoted to a series regular and Joanna given more focus, as she searches for the missing Tyrell and attempts to keep a lid on the escalating scenarios in her life. All of which led to this week’s episode, where we saw her sanction a kill for the first time, silencing a less than trustworthy informant.

No Man’s Sky Servers Will Be Wiped Before Release

No Man's Sky has made it out into the wild a bit early — from an early copy sold on eBay to retailers breaking street dates — but those who've gained access to the game's endless universe won't see their discoveries saved when the official release comes.

Harry Denholm, a programmer at Hello Games, posted on Twitter that No Man's Sky's severs would be wiped on Sunday, before the game launches on August 9 on PlayStation 4, and August 12 on PC. Denholm added that it's not game saves, though. Just discovery online storage will be wiped.

33 Images of Jaw-Dropping Custom PC Casemods at QuakeCon

Running games at their highest framerate on Ultra settings is a really great feeling, but it's even better when you get the chance to show off your rig to the envious masses. QuakeCon is a perfect place to show-off, and the event dripping with unbelievable PCs.

One of the most impressive we came across is a life-sized model of Nick Valentine from Fallout 4. Not only is the case a painstaking recreation, the components inside make it an absolute powerhouse PC.

Building a truly impressive PC casemod takes the already awesome task of building a computer and adds the extra element of artistic expression. Equal parts technical know-how and creativity, eye-catching casemods are the gull-wing doors and sleek lines of a supercar with the power inside to back up those good looks.

Doing New Things With Old Powers In Dishonored 2

The way the original Dishonored let you chain and experiment with different abilities was one of many things that made it so great, and of course, Dishonored 2's protagonist, Emily Kaldwin, brings some exciting, all-new powers to the table as well. But she will share the spotlight with previous protagonist Corvo, who brings along a more familiar bag of tricks. Keeping them fresh is key to preventing him from feeling like last year's model, and to that end, developer Arkane Studios has broadened the upgrade system for each individual power significantly.

Corvo made his Dishonored 2 gameplay debut yesterday on the main stage during the QuakeCon 2016 keynote. Seeing him in action and talking to co-director Harvey Smith about this new upgrade philosophy really drove home how creative players will be able to get in Arkane's big sequel.

Suicide Squad’s Mysterious Second Villain Revealed

SPOILERS follow for Suicide Squad.

While model-actress Cara Delevigne may play the lead villain in Suicide Squad, her character, the Enchantress, is not the only baddie the titular protagonists must battle in the new DC Comics film.

The Enchantress is aided by her equally ancient brother, the vengeful entity Incubus. This mysterious character -- based on an obscure DC Comics villain of the same name and whom the filmmakers only referred to publicly as the Adversary until this week -- prompted much speculation when he first appeared in the film's trailers.

Now Canadian-born actor Alain Chanoine, who plays the dual role of Incubus and the businessman whose body he possesses, can finally speak about making the David Ayer-directed film.
