As a die-hard gamer who’s taken down Spider-Man three times on both PS4 and PS5, I can’t hide my excitement over Insomniac Games’ upcoming project: Marvel’s Wolverine. After winning Marvel’s trust with our stellar work on Spidey, we’ve been given the chance to create a Wolverine game – something that’s been absent since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The mere mention of it has fans buzzing, and Insomniac even hinted at a mature tone for Marvel’s Wolverine, which could mean an M-rating like the classic 2009 game we all love. We’re eager to see Wolverine in action, dishing out brutal slashes, chopping off limbs, and leaving a trail of blood behind. But since its 2021 reveal, there’s been a noticeable silence around the game.

The Devil in the White City” refers to Erik Larson’s 2003 non-fiction book, a true crime account, and narrates the stories of Daniel Burnham, an architect for the World’s Fair, and H.H. Holmes, a notorious serial killer. The novel skillfully blends the captivating story of the 1893 World’s Fair with the chilling tale of Holmes who exploited the fair as a means to entice his victims towards their demise. The journey from book to movie has been an extended one, with initial reports in 2010 suggesting that Leonardo DiCaprio was developing a film adaptation, considering himself for the role of Holmes. Additionally, there have been other iterations featuring Tom Cruise and Kathryn Bigelow involved in various aspects of production.

2016 saw the explosion of “Train to Busan” in South Korea’s cinema landscape, and its international appeal was no less potent. Thanks to Well Go USA, it graced our screens in the U.S. and Canada in 2017. This gripping Korean zombie thriller spawned a prequel anime, “Seoul Station,” in the same year, followed by a direct sequel, “Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula,” in 2020. There’s also been talk of a Hollywood-produced English adaptation for quite some time now, with Indonesian director Timo Tjahjanto at the helm. As a devoted cinephile, I can’t wait to see how this captivating saga unfolds!

However, it has been disclosed that the absence of “Bob’s Burgers” will last longer, as it is not scheduled to return within the first few months of the year.

Although the Thor films haven’t received the same level of affection as the Captain America series or Guardians of the Galaxy, a major factor is that people believe these movies didn’t fully explore Thor’s rich cast of characters. As a result, five key Thor characters were poorly represented in the Marvel films, which has given the God of Thunder a mixed reputation.
