Henry Cavill Thinks a Zack Snyder Cut Wouldn’t ‘Change Anything’
Superman himself Henry Cavill thinks a Zack Snyder cut of Justice League wouldn't "change anything."
Speaking to Yahoo! Movies, Cavill shared his thoughts on this alternate version of the DC film, which Warner Bros. recently confirmed won't be released. Cavill thinks Zack Snyder's cut of the movie, while intriguing, shouldn't be a priority for Warner Bros.
“I think it might be entertaining, for sure, and go, ‘Oh look, now I’ve scratched that itch,’ but it’s not going to change anything that I can think of, it’s not going to make huge amounts of money all of a sudden for a studio," Cavill said.

Limited Edition Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 Pro Bundle Announced
Update on 7/19/18 by Eric Song - Preorders are now available on Amazon
Sony has just announced the Limited Edition Marvel's Spider-Man PlayStation 4 Pro bundle that will be launching alongside Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4 on September 7, 2018.
This bundle includes an "Amazing Red 1TB PS4 Pro console featuring the iconic Marvel's Spider-Man spider, a matching DualShock 4 wireless controller, Marvel's Spider-Man game on Blu-ray disc, and digital content."
New Spider-Man PS4 Story Trailer Confirms New Villain
A new story trailer for Spider-Man debuted at San Diego Comic-Con, confirming Silver Sable as a villain.
According to the trailer, Mayor Norman Osborn hires Silver Sable to stop Spider-Man, whom he considers "an enemy of the people."
Silver Sable is joined by her security force, Silver Sable International, to bring order back to the city. Her security detail can be seen rappelling from a helicopter, and later down a building, heavily armed and armored.
Though Silver Sable is clearly starting off in opposition to Spider-Man, what we know from the comics tells us that this mercenary has her own moral code and that her allegiance may change. She has often teamed up with Spidey when their agendas align, so don't be surprised if her loyalties also change in the game.

A limited edition art book was also announced, called Marvel's Spider-Man: The Art of the Game. Written by Paul Davies, it features concept art never before seen and commentary from Insomniac and Marvel.
