Captain Marvel’s Carol Danvers Was Originally on Jessica Jones
Marvel's Jessica Jones once featured a major part for another Marvel heroine, Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel).
Jessica Jones showrunner Melissa Rosenberg talked with IGN about how changing the focus of the show ultimately caused Danvers to be replaced with another Marvel comics character.
"Back when it was at ABC Network, I did use Carol Danvers," Rosenberg said. "But between then and when it ended up on Netflix, you know, the MCU shifted, and it also shifted away from the universe in the
book. So in the book, the powers are very out in the open and the themes of that are about ‘the other,’ and in the cinematic universe that’s not the mythology. So there was a lot that I had to move away from, just in terms of sheer plot, and Carol Danvers got her own movie."

Current-Gen Versions of Resident Evil 6 Rated
Versions of Resident Evil 6 for PS4 and Xbox One have appeared on the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee site.
The game originally appeared on last-gen systems, and if the rating turns out to be legit, it would be inline with Capcom's announced strategy from earlier this year.
During a meeting with its investors, Capcom said HD remasters of its catalog would be one of its "key business activities" going forward. While this isn't confirmation the game is coming to the current-gen, the same ratings board outed Resident Evil: Revelations would be coming to consoles way back in 2012.
