SHIELD’s Chloe Bennet Previews Season 4 and Daisy on Her Own
Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) has evolved a lot since Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD began -- well beyond simply finding out her real name (farewell, “Skye”) -- as she discovered she was actually an Inhuman with incredible abilities that can cause earthquakes.
Season 3 ended with Daisy leaving behind SHIELD entirely, with an epilogue set months later showing the team trying to bring her in, and Daisy now referred to as “Quake” (her comic book alias) by the media for the first time, and apparently a wanted woman.

Leto Unsure About Joker’s Journey in Suicide Squad
SPOILER WARNING: There are mild spoilers regarding the Joker’s involvement in Suicide Squad, so if you haven’t yet seen the film and don’t want to know the extent of his participation, don't read any further.
Jared Leto has been talking about the Joker’s journey in Suicide Squad, stating that he has no idea where the character disappears to for the film’s second half, and expressing disappointment that so many of the his scenes were cut from the film.

IGN UK Podcast #343: After 4 Pints, Suicide Squad is Alright
Suicide Squad has divided critics, so our own motley crew of hard-drinking reprobates wanted to see what the fuss was about.
The whole team descended on Leicester Square for a special screening of the DC comic action flick, and honestly? It wasn't as bad as we were expecting.
This week we also put our British queuing skills to the test by clamouring for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets, played the first episode of Batman: The Telltale Series, and prepped another episode of Keyword countdown (of course.)
So sit back, grab a beer (or four) and settle in for another episode of the IGN UK podcast.
Hitman Episode 4, Bangkok Gets a Release Date
The fourth episode of Hitman, which sees Agent 47 head to Thailand, will be released on August 16.
In a press release, developer Io Interactive announced that the 'Club 27' mission will see players having to eliminate indie band frontman Jordan Cross and his family lawyer, Ken Morgan within the confines of the Himmapan luxury resort.
We've actually already seen a little of both Cross and Himmapan, when Cross' fictional band, The Class, released a very real music video earlier this week.
The episode will also include 65 challenges, as well as new opportunities and disguises - we've heard tell of some musical instruments being used for things other than creating hot choons.
