Renner Reveals Which Side Hawkeye’s On in Civil War
Jeremy Renner has revealed which side he's going to take in Captain America: Civil War.
Spoilers ahead, obviously.
During an appearance at Wizard World Comic Con Chicago (as reported by Comicbook.com), a fan asked him "how he felt about siding with the First Avenger" in the upcoming film. The question was obviously loaded, as the Civil War graphic novel famously pitches Cap against Iron Man and we're yet to find out who sides with who in the film adaptation. Here's how Renner responded:
"I don't know; they wrote me in that side," he said. "It made sense to me."
The World Ends With You – Eight Years On
The World Ends with You is one of the true cult classics of the Nintendo DS catalogue. Released in 2007 in Japan and 2008 elsewhere, it transports players to a parallel version of Tokyo’s youth culture hub – Shibuya – for an action-RPG experience overflowing with weird ideas and offbeat features. It’s a game I’ve been meaning to play properly ever since it came out, and over the last couple of weeks I’ve finally made the time to do just that.
So how does it stand up in 2015? Would I recommend playing it now if you missed it first time around? Read on to find out.
So, let’s get this out of the way first. For a Japanophile such as myself, The World Ends With You has a high baseline level of appeal based on its setting alone.

Straight Outta Compton Remains Top Dog at Box Office
Legendary and Universal's movie based on the popular rap group N.W.A. has managed to secure the top spot at the box office for its second weekend in a row. Straight Outta Compton earned $27.8 million, elevating its total domestic sales to an impressive $112.5 million.
Conversely, it wasn't a big weekend for debuts, as Sinister 2 and Hitman: Agent 47 trailed in third and fifth place, respectively. IGN's Josh Lasser wasn't particularly fond of Agent 47, noting that its "bewildering story" overshadowed its "fun action."
Captain America: Civil War Wraps Filming
Captain America: Civil War has officially wrapped principle photography, and the cast and crew celebrated the occasion in Germany.
According to EW, Imperii, a bar and lounge in Leipzig, posted images of the cast and crew posing with restaurant staff on Facebook, including Civil War stars Chris Evans (Captain America), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther).
WWE SummerSlam Live Blog
It's SummerSlam time!
Welcome to IGN's live-blog for WWE SummerSlam. All four hours of it. Plus, probably a touch of pre-show. This is going to be a long one, so strap yourselves in.
Jon Stewart's acting as host, John Cena is chasing Ric Flair's world title record, Undertaker's looking for revenge against Brock Lesnar, and Arrow's Stephen Amell is hoping to not get too banged up before he returns to his stunt-heavy TV series. The WWE put a lot of effort into making this event feel big, though after Saturday's NXT card - particularly Bayley vs. Sasha - the main roster's now in the "earn this" seat. So let's see if Super-SummerSlam can deliver!
Dolph Ziggler Talks Lana, SummerSlam and WWE 2K16
This past week on RAW, Dolph Ziggler returned to save the skin of his best girl Lana from the nefarious clutches of Rusev and Summer Rae. Now Ziggler and Rusev are officially booked to meet one-on-one this Sunday at SummerSlam (look for IGN's SummerSlam live blog!).
I had the chance to speak to Ziggler at 2K's SummerSlam Kickoff Event and ask him what it's been like to work a romance angle with Lana, the chances of tagging with her in the future, his thoughts about SummerSlam, and Arnold Schwarzenegger being a part of WWE 2K16.
IGN: What's it been like to work a romance storyline on the show?
Dolph Ziggler: Oh, come on. I've usually got some girl on my arm.
New Gotham Trailer Goes Big on Joker Teases
FOX has released a new trailer for Gotham, heavily teasing the rise of the Joker over the course of the show's second season.
While Cameron Monaghan's villainous character has not officially been confirmed to be the Joker, FOX's new "Villains Rising" trailer certainly plays up that possibility, featuring several instances in which his character emits cackles of insane laughter.
Last month, Monaghan teased Jerome's eventual evolution into the Clown Prince of Crime, posting a mugshot of his character sporting a very familiar grin. When we asked executive producer Bruno Heller about this tease, he refused to reveal Jerome's identity, but did confirm that "the story
