Merida Is Coming to Once Upon a Time Season 5
Storybrooke has faced just about every kind of imaginable darkness over the last four seasons, but what will happen when their Savior crosses the line? The villainous journey ahead for Emma Swan featured prominently at the Comic-Con panel featuring Once Upon a Time creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis and cast members Josh Dallas (Charming), Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow), Colin O'Donoghue (Hook), Jennifer Morrison (Emma), Lana Parrilla (Regina), Sean Maguire (Robin), Rebecca Mader (Zelena), Emilie de Ravin (Belle), and Robert Carlyle (Rumplestiltskin).
The path to darkness and to what they're calling Dark Swan started in Season 4 for Emma. She was betrayed by those around her, including her parents, and she's questioning herself. Morrison said, "A lot of Season 4 was about her confidence being shaken. When you believe that you've overcome obstacles on your own, you think you've found that strength on your own.' She continued, "She felt like it was not necessarily her own accomplishment to stay good and that definitely undercut her confidence and belief in her strength."

Michael Douglas Wants Zeta-Jones to Play Wasp
If it were up to actor Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones would play Wasp in the next entry in Marvel's Ant-Man film franchise.
"Catherine Zeta-Jones," Douglas told MTV UK who his dream casting choice would be for the character. "Wouldn't be a bad idea. Remember her in Entrapment? You know, she's pretty good at all that stuff."
"I could be happy to be in another Ant-Man," Douglas continued, while also half-joking about using CGI to make himself look 25 years younger so he could get in the suit.
Marvel's Ant-Man, starring Paul Rudd as Earth’s Tiniest Hero, hits theaters on July 17. In the meantime, be sure to read our review in which IGN's Roth Cornet praises the film for its "innovative action" and "clear, well-told story."
Amazing Spider-Man Director ‘Really Psyched’ for Reboot
Marc Webb, the director of the two most recent Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield, has shared a few of his thoughts on the upcoming Marvel reboot.
"I'm really psyched that Spider-Man is going back to the Marvel universe, I'm really excited to see that incarnation," he told MTV (via Indiewire) at Comic-Con. "And Jon Watts is directing it, I knew him from the old music video days and he'd done some really fantastic music videos so it's really exciting."
That said, the director is still a bit heartbroken over the short-lived life of his take on the character. "It’s sad a little bit to surrender that in a way," Webb added.

First Look at Apocalypse in the Next X-Men Movie
A poster being given out at SDCC 2015 has given us our first-look at the appearance on En Sabah Nur (aka Apocalypse) in the upcoming movie X-Men: Apocalypse.
Photo by IGN's @TheEricGoldman.
While it's not a photograph, it does give us a good idea of how Oscar Isaac will look in the titular role.
The print also incorporates hieroglyphics and Apocalypse's birth name – En Sabah Nur, which roughly translates as 'The First One' – to reflect his Egyptian heritage. The imagery also implies that the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters will come under attack in the film.
Minority Report TV Series to Focus on Precogs
The cast and creators of FOX's new TV adaptation/continuation of Steven Spielberg's Minority Report appeared at San Diego Comic-Con today to screen 20 minutes of the pilot episode and introduce the show - which premieres September 21st - to the world of genre TV lovers.
Godzilla writer and Minority Report executive producer Max Borenstein spoke about his idea for continuing the story that began back in the 2002 Tom Cruise/Spielberg film by focusing in the other side of the tale - the Precogs who were responsible for predicting future murders.
"I loved the film so much," Borenstein told the crowd on hand in Ballroom 20, "and was thinking about how one might evolve it and spin it off. In the movie there's a system in place called PreCrime and at the end of the movie that infratstrture collapses. But then the Precogs got shuffled off to witness protection to live in secret and that's the last shot of the movie. And I was like 'Wait, that's a show. I want to know what happens next as they try to become real people again.'"
Are Horror Games Having a Renaissance?
Amanda Ripley is in a vent. The air feels heavy in here; thick. Her hands, which are actually your hands, leave sweaty palm-prints on the metal as you scramble toward the light. It’s hopeless, of course, the thud of heavy feet preludes the inevitable, and you claw out at air before the xenomorph is in there, right there, hungry for you.
You die.
Alien Isolation is, arguably, the poster-child for what feels like a “horror renaissance.” It’s a snapshot of tone - claustrophobic, menacing - and mechanics - unforgiving, sophisticated - that’s at the bleeding edge of all that’s cool in horror game-making today.
Ten years ago, horror looked very different. In the mainstream space, good looking and well crafted games like Resident Evil 4 and F.E.A.R were spinning big bucks. The “golden age” of Japanese-dominated survival horror had been brought to its knees by a new-found focus on slick graphics, explosive set-pieces and layers of upgrading systems. In other words, horror games were looking more like action games, and action games made money.
