Watch Dogs Legion will be released on October 29, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and PC (for Epic Games Store and Uplay). Shown off at today's Ubisoft Forward event, Xbox's Phil Spencer added that the game will support Smart Delivery between Xbox One and Xbox Series X, with the latter version using Direct X Raytracing. A store page later confirmed that free upgrades will also be available between PS4 and PS5 versions. We got a look at a live-action/CG trailer for the game's dystopian themes and futuristic London setting. We also saw a series of gameplay clips, showing London's Dedsec in action. We saw recruitment profiling, differences in dialogue between procedurally generated characters, and a look at the game's story - featuring a mysterious terrorist cell, London's new PMC police group, Albion, and the Kelly Gang, led by Mary Kelly. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/12/watch-dogs-legion-welcome-to-the-resistance-trailer"] Mission gameplay shows a series of Dedsec operatives attempting to break into the Tower of London, including a contruction worker armed with a wrench, nailgun and a cargo drone. It then shows the same mission attempted by a more stealth oriented drone expert, who uses surveillance and spider drones, and an Albion officer who can simply walk through the Tower's defences. A separate mission sees Dedsec attempting to disrupt an organ farming operation from the perspective of a drunk football fan (who passes out) and a John Wick-like hitman, able to take down swathes of security. It's a confident showing of quite how different Legion can be for every player. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=watch-dogs-legion-screenshots&captions=true"] We got a new hands-on with Watch Dogs Legion ahead of the announcement, and called Ubisoft's new London "a world of compelling stories". We also spoke to creative director Clint Hocking, who explained to us how the game's delay from March to October actually improved multiple parts of the game. After previous hands-on previews of the game, we called said Watch Dogs Legion is unlike any other Ubisoft game. We've previously learned how its "Play As Anyone" system actually works, and been told the game will at some point come to PS5 and Xbox Series X.

X-Men: Days of Future Past has arrived on Disney+, a family-friendly streaming platform that took a bit of heat back in April for editing out Daryl Hannah's naked bottom in the 1984 Tom Hanks movie, Splash. Now Disney+ and "butts" are making the news again, but this time it's because Hugh Jackman's bare butt, as Wolverine, was left intact in Days of Future Past. Jackman himself shared the picture (with his butt covered up by an emoji) along with other images from the film on Instagram along with the message "Days Of Future Past becomes the first movie to air on Disney+ uncensored. That was my future but let’s be honest ... it’s more like my past." And it wouldn't be a Jackman post without a lovable response from Ryan Reynolds, who wrote "Excited for them to do the same for Deadpool. It’s time children knew. #Samesies." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=how-the-mcus-phase-4-could-introduce-the-x-men&captions=true"] The movie, notably, also has one F-bomb, which is the most any movie can have and still receive a PG-13 rating. This is why Hamilton was censored to change two of its three F-bombs for its Disney+ debut. So why the double standard here? Why was Hannah's backside edited out while Jackman's was left in? Is it hypocrisy or is Disney+ now, just a couple months later, moving toward slightly edgier content that might allow for a few more non-"family friendly" PG-13 films. Like X-Men: First Class. 2000's X-Men celebrates its 20th anniversary this month, so why not celebrate by watching a behind-the-scenes on how all the fight scenes came together?

In order to morph into the vagabond monster-slaying Geralt of Rivia for Netflix's The Witcher, star Henry Cavill occasionally had to take the character's dirtiness into his own hands. While talking to Vanity Fair about all the in and outs of his Geralt transformation, including multiple wigs and contacts that would eventually irritate his eyes, Cavill mentioned how much he became invested in Geralt's overall unkempt look. "The costumers were, towards the end, quite horrified with me," he said. "Before takes I would look at myself and say, 'We need more dirt on me.' They’d come up to me with this tiny little -- it's like a pair of tights rolled up into a ball, with some dust in, and they’d sort of pat it on me. And I’d say, 'Yeah, guys, that's not enough.'" "So I’d go stand out in the rain. Sometimes I’d roll around in puddles. I would just try and get as much of the world on me, so this character looked like he had lived within it." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-monster-in-season-1-of-netflixs-the-witcher&captions=true"] After pausing production on Season 2 due to the COVID-19 crisis, which caused Cavill to have enough down time to paint Warhammer figurines, cameras are set to being rolling again on The Witcher in August - with reports saying the most "controversial" part of Season 1 has now been fixed. Season 2 will add the character of Vesemir, Geralt's mentor, along with a slew of new Witchers.

Fans have been itching for a revenge-soaked follow up to Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill two-parter for years, really ever since the opening scene of Vol. 1 where Uma Thurman's Bride character talks to the young daughter of the freshly-murdered Vivica A. Fox's Vernita Green and tells her "When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting." Naturally, this leaves room for a Kill Bride or Kill Beatrix movie where Vernita's daughter hunts down her mother's killer. It's a project that that Tarantino and Thurman still discuss possibly doing to this day. Even back in 2004, Tarantino was raring to go for the sequel, saying "The star will be Vernita Green’s daughter, Nikki. I’ve already got the whole mythology: Sofie Fatale [Julie Dreyfus] will get all of Bill’s money. She’ll raise Nikki, who’ll take on the Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as the Bride deserved hers.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=quentin-tarantinos-most-notable-abandoned-or-delayed-projects&captions=true"] Recently though, while talking about Kill Bill sequels and/or reboot possibilities with NME, Vivica A. Fox mentioned how'd she'd love to see Zendaya play Nikki. "Zendaya! How hot would that be?" she said. "And that would probably green light this project. Because her and Uma are both very tall, and it would just be kick-butt, and I love her.” “Hopefully now we can put that out, like ‘Tarantino, cast Zendaya!’ And spark his interest to put it on the fast track." So what do you think about this casting? Would you like to watch Zendaya v. Uma Thurman? In a bloody, stabby battle for Kill Bill supremacy? Also, would you like this to be Tarantino's tenth and final film as the director has said many times that he plans on only making ten movies and then retiring. Let us know below.
