Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins aren’t the only actors from Supernatural who’ve appeared in The Boys. Creator Eric Kripke has consistently cast performers from the original series, including notable names like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jim Beaver, and Rob Benedict. Kripke clearly likes working with actors he knows, and even with Supernatural finished, there’s still potential for more cast members to join The Boys. The upcoming Vought Rising spinoff, focusing on Ackles’ Soldier Boy, and The Boys: Mexico offer further opportunities for Supernatural reunions, and there may be even more expansions to the The Boys universe in the future.

We’re releasing a new update in the next few days that includes a highly requested feature: extraction.

The Art of KPop Demon Hunters: Platinum Edition will be released on September 8th, followed by KPop Demon Hunters: The Official Screen Comic Boxed Set on November 3rd. This comic set is a 700-page graphic novel expanding on the film’s story and including lyrics from the popular soundtrack. Netflix says the boxed set also includes two posters, a special slipcase, two paperback books with unique covers, and other collectible extras.

“Who’s Your Daddy” is a 2016 video game designed for two players. One player takes on the role of a father, and the other controls a mischievous baby. The father’s job is to keep the baby alive, while the baby player tries to find increasingly dangerous and funny ways to… well, not survive. It’s a silly concept – one player attempts baby-style suicide, and the other frantically tries to stop it – but it’s surprisingly enjoyable, particularly when played with a friend. The game originally took place in a house, but a later version added a new training area called The Baby Daddy Academy, along with an updated version of the original house map.

Alan Cumming, known for his role in the original X-Men films, has shared that the cast list for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday isn’t complete. He told Deadline that the sequel includes surprise characters who were even hidden within the script itself, while discussing his reprise of the role of Nightcrawler in the major Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

Director Simon McQuoid spoke with ComicBook about Mortal Kombat, explaining why the film didn’t include a scene after the credits. He said he wrote a few different options for such a scene, but they never made it to filming. While the movie is visually impressive with great special effects, the production budget wasn’t unlimited. They had to be careful and strategic about what they filmed to get the most impact for their money.

In a recent conversation with ComicBook, Mortal Kombat II writer Jeremy Slater hinted that the upcoming Mortal Kombat 3 might not feature a traditional tournament. Slater explained that they’re exploring ways to capture the same high-stakes feeling of a tournament without actually having one. He doesn’t have a definitive answer yet, but believes they can still deliver the intense, life-or-death battles fans expect, even without a formal competition.
