Mondo’s The Invisible Man Limited Edition Poster Revealed
Director Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse Productions' rethinking of The Invisible Man proved to be a hit when it was released in February, despite the COVID-19 pandemic forcing theaters to close shortly after it opened. Regardless, the Elisabeth Moss vehicle injected new life into the age-old story, and now Mondo, those purveyors of fine posters and memorabilia, are releasing a limited edition print timed to the film's release on 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Digital this week.
Created by Mondo artist Francesco Francavilla, there are two versions of the poster -- the regular version and the variant. The piece is a subtle nod to Francavilla's previous Invisible Man poster for the classic Universal Monsters film that Mondo released back in 2012.
Get an exclusive first look at both versions of the poster below:

Diablo 4: What We Know So Far
Diablo 4 was officially announced at BlizzCon 2019. While rumors of the title circulated for some time, Blizzard finally revealed it's working on the next Diablo entry and has since given us some details that give us an idea of what to expect. From gameplay to enemies and potential characters, here is what we know about Diablo 4 so far.
Does Diablo 4 Have a Release Date?
Blizzard has not announced a Diablo 4 release date yet. After confirming the sequel at Blizzcon 2019, game director Luis Barriga said Diablo 4 wouldn't be released soon. "A game of this scope takes time," Barriga said. "This is a very, very early first step. We're not coming out soon... not even Blizzard soon." It was revealed Diablo 4 is being developed for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.Diablo 4 Gameplay
Set in Sanctuary, a dimension separate from heaven and hell, Diablo 4 will focus on the darker roots of the franchise. Barriga described it as gothic, medieval, and "a bleak and shattered hellscape bereft of hope and beset by demons." Diablo 4 will feature a non-linear campaign played in a shared open world where players can group up, trade, or participate in PVP in designated areas. The world will include five regions that run on a day/night cycle and have weather effects. Barriga emphasized the importance of the series' legacy in Diablo 4, saying it's inspired by the combat in Diablo 3, the class line up and loot chase in Diablo 2, and the sense of dread in Diablo 1. IGN's James Duggan went hands-on with a 20 minute Diablo 4 demo at Blizzcon 2019, and you can see his detailed breakdown of the demo in the video below. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/02/diablo-4-hands-on-gameplay-impressions-blizzcon-2019"]Diablo 4 Classes
Three classes are confirmed for Diablo 4: Barbarian, Sorceress, and Druid. Two additional classes which have not been revealed will also be available once Diablo 4 launches. Here are Blizzard's descriptions of the confirmed Diablo 4 classes so far:- Barbarian: Known for their unparalleled strength and brutal melee combat." Barbarians will have a unique ability known as Arsenal, which allows them to carry four different weapons at a time.
- Sorceress: Hearkens back to their Diablo II roots and shapes the elements to obliterate their foes by impaling them upon jagged spikes of ice, electrocuting them with bolts of lightning, or raining flaming meteors from the sky.
- Druid: Is a savage shapeshifter whose updated playstyle empowers them to fluidly transform between werewolf, werebear, and human form to unleash the raw power of nature’s fury on the forces of the Burning Hells.
Diablo 4 Characters
In panels and in a Diablo 4 quarterly update, some monster families were revealed. So far, Blizzard confirmed enemy groups The Cannibals, Cultist, Drowned, and Fallen will be present in Diablo 4. Each monster family will have archetypes with various fighting styles that play different roles in combat. For example, the Drowned family includes archetypes such as Ranged, Melee, Bruiser, Swarmer, and Dungeon Boss. While Swarmers strike in groups, Bruisers take on a tank-like role as large monsters with high health, making each encounter slightly different. An excerpt in a Diablo art book leak suggests Lillith will be a returning character in Diablo 4. Originally featured in Diablo 2's Pandemonium event, the passage in the leaked page reads, "Lilith's debut in Diablo IV is a reimagining of her form that is far different from her previous appearance."Will Diablo 4 Have Microtransactions?
At BlizzCon 2019, Twitch streamer Quin69 asked lead designer Joe Shely how Blizzard will monetize Diablo 4. Shely replied, “Diablo 4 will be available as a base game, and… we’re going to have expansions. You also will be able to acquire cosmetics in the game.” This suggests cosmetic microtransactions could be part of Diablo 4 in addition to expansions and seasonal content Shely mentioned earlier in the interview.

Walt Disney World Resort Looking to Reopen This July
Walt Disney World Resort in Florida has set out plans to reopen the park beginning July 11.
After being closed for months following the lockdown period designed to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Walt Disney World has submitted plans to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force group for a multi-phase reopening of the park.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/12/disneyland-california-adventure-closing-due-to-coronavirus-concerns"]
As revealed by Walt Disney World News Today - and later published to the Disney Parks blog - the plan begins on July 11, with the opening of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, and a few days later on July 15 Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot will also reopen.
The plan outlines a limited capacity for the park, with visitors having to secure a reservation for the day they wish to attend in advance. The capacity of the park will then incrementally increase as the county furthers its reopening phases.
All major attractions within the park will use a virtual queuing system rather than actual lines, organised through the My Disney Experience app. Social distance will need to be maintained between visitors and face masks will be enforced. Temperature checks will also be mandatory to access the parks.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=avengers-campus-concept-art&captions=true"]
New signage has been developed to be placed around the park, explaining the new restrictions guests must adhere to. There are also new rules for the cast members who dress as Disney characters in the park, and well as increased cleaning and sanitation duties.
The plan does not guarantee a reopening of the park; they have been submitted to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force, and must be endorsed by the Orange County mayor before being submitted to Florida’s governor for final approval. Only then can Walt Disney World reopen.
The closure of Walt Disney World Resort was announced back in March, with the final day of regular business being March 15. It’s unprecedented for a Disney park to be closed for this length of time. This plan goes against the predictions of an analyst who suggested Disney will not open its parks until 2021.
