The collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine is creating a blaze at the box office following its R-rated record-breaking preview night. Estimates suggest that Marvel Studios’ new project will earn around $35 million to $40 million during its Thursday release. At San Diego Comic-Con, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman made an appearance to unveil the movie during a Marvel panel, with Kevin Feige introducing both actors alongside Emma Corrin and Matthew McFadyen. Surprise guests also graced the event, but since the film has only been in theaters for a day, it’s up to the web to reveal their identities. The anticipation among fans for this Fox X-Men joint production is reaching new heights.

On Thursday, Drew McIntyre reaffirmed his role as the year’s biggest hater by posting a picture of himself with AEW’s Jack Perry on social media. He captioned it, “Go ahead and cry about it.” The incident stems from Perry’s involvement in McIntyre’s ongoing feud with CM Punk. At AEW ALL IN: London 2023, Perry and Punk had a heated exchange during the live broadcast, resulting in a physical fight. In the aftermath, Punk was fired by AEW President Tony Khan “for cause.”

Magic: The Gathering is releasing two exclusive Secret Lair sets based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the legendary British comedy film.

In the beginning of 2023, not everyone was aware that the first closed beta for games like “Hi-Fi Rush,” “Dead Space,” and “Like a Dragon: Ishin!” took place. The second beta occurred in December, coinciding with the excitement surrounding titles such as “Baldur’s Gate 3” and “Alan Wake 2.” A third and final beta happened in March, during which “Helldivers 2” captured the world’s attention. Just a short while later, the survival sandbox game, filled with both cosmic terror and looting action, was released on PC.

For over ten years, Earth Defense Force (EDF) has carved out a unique space in gaming as the self-aware and campy “B-movie” series known for its humor. I’m thrilled to report that this tradition continues in EDF 6 with gusto! The core gameplay formula from EDF’s first Western release remains intact: you assume the role of a soldier in an international army, tasked with shielding Earth from alien invasion. There isn’t much depth in terms of narrative or character development, and the campiness is abundant throughout.

Approximately two decades after the initial release of “Constantine,” Warner Bros. is moving forward with a sequel. However, during an interview at San Diego Comic Con, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura reminisced about the original film. The movie was rich in Judeo-Christian symbolism and folklore, but according to di Bonaventura, not all elements made it past Warner Bros.’ approval process during production. Specifically, he shared with ComicBook that one controversial reference was removed from the script.
