As Indiana Jones 5 gears up for production, Disney and Lucasfilm are continuing to fill out the upcoming sequel's cast. Deadline reports that Boyd Holbrook is set to star alongside Harrison Ford in the next installment of the series. Holbrook's casting reunites the actor with his Logan director James Mangold, who will helm the next Indiana Jones movie after series director Steven Spielberg left over disagreements about the script. In Logan, Holbrook played Donald Pierce, the primary antagonist of the film. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/11/indiana-jones-4-movie-collection-4k-ultra-hd-official-trailer"] The actor is also known for his lead performance in the 2018 reboot The Predator as well as his breakout role in the first two seasons of Narcos. Additionally, Holbrook recently wrapped filming on Netflix's upcoming television adaptation of the DC series Sandman. Holbrook's addition to the Indiana Jones 5 ensemble was also reported alongside the casting of Shaunette Renée Wilson. Wilson had a featured role in Black Panther and was part of the main cast on Fox's The Resident. Holbrook and Wilson join an already impressive cast of series newcomers, including Mads Mikkelsen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Thomas Kretschmann. Mikkelsen recently discussed how he has been "invited to create a character" for the movie. Though plot details remain under wraps at the moment, the film is planning to start production this summer. Disney has set the as-yet-unnamed sequel for a July 29, 2022 release date.

For some gamers, it’s been an interesting challenge adapting to the $70 price point for some next-gen games, and that includes the Returnal developers at Housemarque.

According to Axios, Housemarque found out that Returnal would be priced at $70 at the same time as the general public.

Housemarque’s marketing director Mikael Haveri shared how internal demos of Returnal continually impressed Sony, who were funding the game. After each demo the studio showed Sony, Haveri says Housemarque "got a little bit more availability to scope it out more and to grow the game."

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/10/how-returnal-shows-the-ps5s-power-performance-review"]

These positive impressions led to the scope of Returnal expanding, and subsequently, it became one of the first games in decades to be sold for more than $60. Housemarque’s team learned about Sony’s decision to price most next-gen games $70 “around the same time as the general public” back in September 2020.

Housemarque’s earlier titles, like Resogun or Nex Machina, tended to sell in the ballpark of $20 given their arcade, smaller-scale nature compared to the 3D Returnal.

Despite this lower-priced history, Housemarque was already focused on making Returnal a bigger game than its previous titles after proclaiming in 2017 that "arcade is dead." This was after lackluster sales for Nex Machina, which pushed Housemarque to start venturing into console-scale development.

Housemarque reiterated in the interview that it is focused on bringing “new content and updates and fixes,” to Returnal, referencing known issues with save file corruption as well as Returnal not allowing players to save in the middle of a likely multi-hour run. Housemarque has repeatedly made it clear that they’ve heard fans' comments, but it appears an amicable solution is something the studio is continuing to work on and unable to promise a specific timeline on.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/29/returnal-review"]

Despite those issues, Returnal appears to be a huge success for Housemarque, which has previously suffered through lackluster sales of its previous games. Housemarque told Axios that the studio now staffs 85 people, “so we’re bigger now than we’ve ever been.”

If you’re worried that might change some of the core tenets of Housemarque games, the studio wants fans to rest easy. “Arcade as a core tenet of all our games, the gameplay side of it, that's exactly what we'll bring to the new titles that we make,” Haveri said.

Rick and Morty isn't the only Justin Roiland project to make the jump to comics. Skybound will publish a new limited series based on Squanch Games' comedic action platformer Trover Saves the Universe. Skybound made the announcement during their latest Skybound Xpo digital event. Trover Saves the Universe is a five-issue series, with Tess Stone (Not Drunk Enough) writing and drawing the first issue. Check out a preview of issue #1 in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=trover-saves-the-universe-comic-book-preview&captions=true"] Here's how Skybound describes the new series:

Welcome to the ICJ—Important Cosmic Jobs—where employees are ranked by their boss, and at the end of each month, the worst employee literally gets the ax. It’s…not a great gig. But when ICJ’s top eyehole monster winds up dead, the company’s most inept (and rival) employees, Klover and Bo, are falsely accused of his murder and hunted by the Space Cops! Now they must clear their names and unravel a conspiracy that reaches the very top…that is, if they don’t kill each other first!

“When Skybound mentioned they were interested in doing a Trover Saves the Universe comic with the help of Tess Stone, I knew it was going to be something of high quality," said Roiland in a statement. "Important cosmic jobs is such fertile soil for storytelling, and Tess has successfully expanded it beyond the game's DLC to create a whole new crazy adventure for Trover fans to follow.” "Working on this series has been such a wonderful opportunity in more ways than one. Not only do I get to play around in the wonderful setting of Justin Roiland and Squanch Games' Trover Saves the Universe, I was given the chance to build up and fall in love with characters of my own,” said Stone. “To be able to have this creative flexibility in a world I already adore and admire seems too good to be true, but here we are! I hope that the series through my eyes can properly display my love for the world and everything within, and I'm so excited to share it with everyone!" Look for Trover Saves the Universe #1 to release in comic shops and digital storefronts on August 4, 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/trover-saves-the-universe-oculus-quest-announcement-trailer-upload-vr-showcase"] Trover fans should also keep their eyes peeled for The Art of Trover Saves the Universe, a new behind-the-scenes book being published by Dark Horse. That book is scheduled to hit stores on September 14. Trover Saves the Universe earned an 8.7 from IGN when it hit PC, consoles and Oculus Rift in 2019. Reviewer Tom Marks writes, "Trover Saves the Universe is a short and sweet VR platformer wrapped in one of the most ridiculous video game stories you’ll ever see. Justin Roiland and Squanch Games have done an excellent job of taking the ludicrous, freeform humor of Rick and Morty and molding it around a straightforward but enjoyable 3D brawler – even if it’s lacking the complex and well-crafted plots the best episodes of that show are known for."

Kang the Conqueror is easily among the most confusing characters in the Marvel Universe. That comes with the territory for a villain who's spent many lifetimes manipulating the Avengers and Fantastic Four. Now Marvel is looking to make sense of Kang's impossibly long and convoluted history by making him the subject of his own solo comic. The new series, dubbed Kang the Conqueror, will offer new insight into Kang's origin story and seek to reconcile the many incarnations of the character, from Nathaniel Richards to Rama-Tut to the Scarlet Centurion. The series will reveal how Kang is trapped in a cosmic cycle of creation and destruction, focusing on a younger version of Kang sent on an urgent time-travelling mission by his older self. Is Kang destined to become an immortal tyrant, or can he rewrite history and change his destiny? [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=kang-the-conqueror-1-preview-art&captions=true"] Kang the Conqueror is written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Joyride, Green Arrow) and drawn by Carlos Magno (Avengers: Mech Strike), with colors by Espen Grundetjern and letters by the Joe Caramagna. "Time may mean nothing to Kang, but Kang means everything to us. This is the book we've been wanting to write for years,” Lanzing said in Marvel's press release. “It's a total dream come true for Collin and I to be making our Marvel debut - we're best friends who first met through a mutual love of Young Avengers, Runaways, and Ultimate Spider-Man. But to make our first mark with a character as storied as Kang the Conqueror, on a very personal pitch we never in a million years thought would be greenlit, is a genuine honor. Carlos Magno is delivering jaw-dropping work that recalls the exacting detail and operatic emotion of Kang's co-creator Jack Kirby. We're genuinely stunned by every new page. Add the brilliant colors by Espen Grundetjern, letters by the Marvel master Joe Caramanga, and the insightful leadership of our editor Alanna Smith, and you've got a team worthy of one of Marvel's greatest unsung characters." "Kang has been a nefarious force in the Marvel Universe nearly as long as it's existed, but the true crime here is that he's never had a solo series. The fact that we're the ones who get to bring Kang's complete story to life for the first time is an incredible honor,” Kelly added. “KANG THE CONQUEROR isn't just an origin story; this is a life story. When young and jaded Nathaniel Richards discovers the ancient lair of his Latvarian ancestor Victor Von Doom, his life is changed forever by a man he should never have met - KANG HIMSELF! From the last days of the Cretaceous to the war-torn world of Jack Kirby's year 4,000 - from ancient Egypt to the stars themselves - KANG THE CONQUEROR is a story that unpacks the told - and untold - moments of Kang's life through a human lens. Powered by his love of the enigmatic Ravonna Renslayer, and fueled by the hatred of who he will become, this is a cross-time epic for everyone who has ever rejected who they were supposed to be." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/04/what-to-expect-from-marvel-in-2021"] Kang the Conqueror #1 will release in comic shops and digital storefronts on August 18. August also marks the start of The Trial of Magneto, a new murder mystery series focused on the Master of Magnetism. This new series comes as rumors build of Kang making his MCU debut. Last year Deadline reported Jonathan Majors has been cast as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Many fans are speculating Majors' Kang may also make a surprise appearance in the upcoming Loki series on Disney+, given that show's emphasis on time travel.
