Star Wars universe alum Temuera Morrison (Aquaman, Moana) will reportedly portray iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney+. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morrison's Boba Fett "is expected to play just a small role in season two of the series." The New Zealand-born actor joined Star Wars back in 2002's Attack of the Clones where he portrayed Jango Fett. In Attack of the Clones, it was revealed that Boba is actually one of Jango's clones, who the bounty hunter decided to raise as his own son. [caption id="attachment_234982" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Temuera Morrison will play Boba Fett.[/caption] Morrison will join Season 2's reported new cast members, Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, and Terminator star Michael Biehn as an unnamed bounty hunter. Behind the camera, Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn) and Peyton Reed (Marvel's Ant-Man) have both confirmed that they will be directing episodes of Season 2. Fans have speculated that we already saw Boba Fett in Season 1 of The Mandalorian on two separate occasions. Some eagle-eyed fans thought they spotted Boba Fett in the background of episode 1, when Mando visits the underground Mandalorian sanctuary on Navarro, while others theorized that Boba Fett was the mystery character at the end of episode 5 who approached the body of Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand. It's entirely possible that neither character was the iconic bounty hunter, and that we'll get the full explanation for where Boba Fett has been and how he survived the Sarlacc pit in The Mandalorian Season 2.

Fans shouldn't expect Disney's planned live-action remake of their animated hit Hercules to be "a literal translation," according to the film's producer Anthony Russo. Chatting with Collider, Russo explained that he and his fellow producer and brother Joe Russo will adopt the same approach to adapting Disney's Hercules as they did with their Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. "I think you always have to bring something new to the table because from our perspective as storytellers, it’s not compelling for us to do a literal translation," Russo said. "We’ve already done that with our Marvel films. We don’t do literal translations of the comics because we feel like if you want that story you can go read that story." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-upcoming-disney-live-action-remake&captions=true"] Russo added that the live-action Hercules will introduce aspects to the story that weren't in the 1997 film: "We’re going to give you a different story. I think we’ll do something that’s in the vein of the original and inspired by it, but we also bring some new elements to the table." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/29/the-25-best-disney-animated-movies"] This reimagined, live-action version of Disney's Hercules is being scripted by Dave Callaham, who is also a screenwriter on Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. No word yet on when Hercules will go into production, whether it will be a musical like the original, or who will direct or star.

In our spoiler-free review of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, we praised the R-rated film for taking "full advantage of the fact that it's the final chapter in a 15-movie arc. Its narrative veers into some very surprising and compelling directions, and somehow it manages to pay off on loose ends from across the DCU while still chronicling the final battle between the Justice League and Darkseid."

Microsoft is continuing its alpha test for the next Microsoft Flight Simulator. The dev team shared a few updates about what’s coming down the pipeline for the simulator’s alpha and shared some gorgeous screenshots from alpha testers that shows how far along the simulator is already. In the most recent development update, the Flight Simulator team announced that Alpha Build Update 1.3.X.X. is coming next week. The new build adds several fixes for the Airbus A320, along with other additions. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/30/microsoft-flight-simulator-flying-over-seoul-korea"] The team is also looking to add more testers to the Alpha in the coming weeks. That said, testers are already getting hands-on time with Microsoft’s newest flight simulator and are sharing screenshots of their flights. Here’s a gallery of user-submitted screenshots credited to the player who submitted them. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=microsoft-flight-simulator-alpha-tester-screenshots&captions=true"] The incredible level of detail probably explains why the Alpha has a huge 150GB install size. Developers have said previously that they want to include “all airports on Earth,” to give you a sense of the ambitious scale for the project.
