To be honest, this approach has worked well in the past. For example, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla became the most financially successful game in the series, thanks to two years of continued updates and support.
Although James Gunn and Peter Safran haven’t officially brought the Joker into their new DC Universe, hints of the character have appeared in promotional images from the upcoming Clayface movie, which is set in Gotham. While the Joker’s arrival seems inevitable, DC Studios might surprise fans by introducing the ‘Absolute Joker’ – a particularly terrifying version of the villain. Artist @bosslogic shared a concept poster on Instagram showing this monstrous form, suggesting a hidden, demonic side to the classic character.
Switching to publishing games made by other companies ultimately saved Sega. Recently, Sega has been very successful with its Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, releasing both new games and updated versions of older titles to reach a wider audience. Now, many of these games are at a point where they can be enhanced with a remaster instead of requiring a complete rebuild, like Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, which initially launched on Nintendo Switch as a limited-time exclusive. It will be available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC next month, but there’s a slight catch.
The Nintendo 64 truly captured the excitement of early 3D gaming, arriving at a time when these new worlds felt incredibly magical. For many young gamers, it became the defining console of the decade. These five games were particularly important, pushing the boundaries of what video games could offer and solidifying the N64’s place in gaming history, remembered fondly by those who experienced it.
The original Illuminati group included heroes like Stark, Mister Fantastic, Namor, Black Bolt, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Professor X – all characters we’ve already seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But what about members who joined the group later? We’re taking a look to see if any of those heroes haven’t appeared in a movie or show yet. We’re excluding one particular lineup from 2015-2016, as it consisted of villains like Enchantress and Hood, who haven’t been introduced to the MCU (though Titania did appear in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law).
As a huge Spider-Man fan, I’ve been thinking about some of his greatest stories that we haven’t seen on the big screen yet. Some of them make sense why they haven’t been adapted, but others are just perfect for a new movie! Honestly, if they could turn “One More Day” into something people really enjoyed, I think any of these stories could be amazing too. So, let’s jump right in and take a look at what I think are Spidey’s best unadapted tales.
Warning: Spoilers below for Zootopia 2
With Project Hail Mary, directors Lord and Miller return to directing after being let go from Solo: A Star Wars Story. While they’ve had success producing the popular Spider-Verse films, this movie marks a chance for them to once again showcase their vision in the science fiction genre. It’s also a bit of a fresh start for Ryan Gosling, who previously starred as an astronaut in the underperforming film First Man.
The anime My Hero Academia recently revealed a significant part of Shota Aizawa’s history: the villain Kurogiri was created using the body of Aizawa and Present Mic’s old friend, Oboro Shirakumo. The story showed the heroes trying to save Shirakumo from his fate, and a key moment occurred when they used Kurogiri’s powers to reach Deku one last time. However, this part of the story hasn’t been fully shown in the anime yet, but it will be soon.
It’s unlikely Robert Downey Jr. committed to a lengthy new contract. He’s probably starring in the next two Avengers films to give Marvel time to prepare for his departure. When he’s finished, someone new will need to take over the role. Luckily, Marvel has plenty of options, and here are five X-Men who could become the next Iron Man in the MCU’s mutant storyline.
