Remember in Avengers: Endgame when Hawkeye was Ronin and killed a bunch of people? It looks like the writers for the upcoming Disney Plus series, Hawkeye, do.

In an interview with Gamesradar, the comedy writing duo Bert & Bertie (Amber Finlayson and Katie Ellwood), said that the six-episode lighthearted Christmas-themed show isn't what most people would expect from Marvel Studios. The show borrows quite a bit from the 2012 Hawkeye comic run and Christmas issue by Matt Fraction and artist David Aja. Even so, it looks like the show will have some dark undertones to it.

When Clint Barton took up the mantel of Ronin, he went on a rampage after his entire family was wiped out by Thanos. Jeremy Renner, who plays the eponymous hero, didn't want to leave that part of the character out. The vigilante is part of Hawkeye now and in the upcoming series, it looks like his murderous past will catch up to him.

"[Renner] wanted the darkness," Bert says. "He wanted to go there. And there are moments that the Ronin Clint resurfaces. It's very important to have those depths that you can explore, so that he can come out of it."

The first two episodes of Hawkeye will air on Disney Plus on November 24. The most recent Marvel Cinematic Universe adventure, Eternals, arrives in theaters today. Make sure to check out IGN's Eternals review. 2021 will close out with Spider-Man: No Way Home on December 17, and be sure to also check out the full lineup of upcoming Marvel movies and shows.

Marvel's Loki may be notable for introducing major new character like Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie Laufeydottir and Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror, but we all know the real breakout star of the series. Now the lovable Miss Minutes is making the jump from the MCU to Marvel's comic book universe.

Miss Minutes will make her comic book debut in December's Timeless. This one-shot special focuses on her master, Kang, as the Conqueror goes on the defensive to prevent his timeline from being replaced. Marvel hasn't revealed what role Miss Minutes herself will play in the story or if the Time Variance Authority is coming into play, but we imagine she's working to further her master's agenda.

Timeless is written by Jed MacKay (Black Cat) and drawn by Kev Walker (Old Man Logan), Greg Land (Symbiote Spider-Man) and Mark Bagley (The Amazing Spider-Man). While it tells a standalone story, Timeless is also intended to set the stage for some major storylines in 2022. It's clear Marvel has big plans for Kang now that the time-traveling villain has made his MCU debut.

“During the course of events in TIMELESS, the timeline undergoes significant trauma and Kang is put in the fascinating position of not knowing what happens next,” MacKay told CBR. “Things that should play out differently, others happen as expected, while yet others are completely new fabrications of a shaken timeline. There will certainly be plenty to speculate upon and some very exciting hints for what is to come over the next couple of years.”

Timeless will be released on December 29.

For more on Marvel's Loki, see why the Season 1 finale marks a major shift for the MCU and check out IGN's theories for what's next.

The Boys has shared the first look at Crimson Countess, one of the new heroes joining the series in Season 3.

Actress Laurie Holden shared on social media the first shot of her in costume as the red-clad super. In the original comics, Crimson Countess is a member of Payback, the second most popular superteam behind The Seven.

Payback is led by Soldier Boy, a Boys-take on Captain America who will be played by Jensen Ackles in the upcoming season.

Crimson Countess and Soldier Boy are only two of the new heroes joining The Boys in the new season. Alongside familiar heroes from the comics, the next season of The Boys will also add three original characters named Blue Hawk, Supersonic, and Gunpowder.

Holden is best known for playing Andrea on AMC’s The Walking Dead. Other credits include appearances in The Americans and X-Files.

Amazon has been teasing the upcoming season of The Boys with a series of fictional news shorts hosted by the Vought News Network. These newscasts will fill in the story between seasons 2 and 3, which is already filming.

Check out IGN’s review of The Boys season 2 for our take on the explosive finale and get ready for the upcoming season sometime in the future.

Current and former staff affiliated with the ABetterUbisoft employee group have launched a new petition asking for support in their campaign to end abuse at the company and across the wider gaming industry.

The petition comes after a lack of response from the studio to the demands made in an open letter written by the group back in August. Signed by over 1,000 Ubisoft employees, the letter pledged support to a walkout taken by Activision Blizzard staff in light of their leadership's response to ongoing harassment allegations while also demanding that Ubisoft management do more to end abuse at its own company.

In a tweet promoting the petition, a statement from the group reads, "You disappoint us, M. Guillemot. 100 days, zero demands met. Surely you can do better than this." The message bears a similar tone to a recent marketing strategy deployed by Ubisoft to taunt players for not sinking enough hours into Far Cry 6.

100 days ago we signed our open letter and set out our four key demands. None of our demands have been met. So today we’re launching a new petition, open for ALL our supporters to signhttps://t.co/dqmQV96FOm
Please sign and share!#ABetterUbisoft #EndAbuseInGaming pic.twitter.com/tpTU3mfeaz

In a separate tweet, the group set out its key demands for the campaign. In summary, these demands include ending a cycle of "promoting and moving known offenders from studio to studio," and creating a cross-industry collaboration involving both management and non-management staff that will help to lay out a framework for ground rules and processes that studios can use to handle offences in the future.

While the petition is being led by current and former Ubisoft staff, the group says that it is "open to everyone who supports the #ABetterUbisoft campaign." As part of the form, those pledging support can document whether they're adding their signature as a player, fan, or Ubisoft employee. The petition can either be signed by name or anonymously and also includes a section for you to share your reasons for signing.

While Ubisoft's employees demand that the studio does more, Activision Blizzard recently announced that it will be implementing a new "zero-tolerance" harassment policy across its entire company. The announcement featured as part of a letter from Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who also outlined several other changes that the company will be implementing going forward.

The company is currently still facing multiple, serious ongoing allegations of harassment and mistreatment of marginalized workers. To learn more, please visit our timeline as well as our in-depth report on the subject.
