This week a list of 2021 Disney+ programs was released - and it would appear to be a little different than we expected. If you're looking for your fix of The Mandalorian any time soon, you're out of luck. If you've been patiently awaiting content for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, THIS is your year.
Disney has bumped the theatrical releases of several anticipated movies, including Black Panther 2, later into 2022. The news first arrived as part of Disney at Investor Day, with additional details dropping soon after. Though the changes aren't extreme, they do mean fans will have to wait a few extra months for certain movies to premiere.
It might be The Game Awards night for some but it almost feels like Disney+ night as well. The streaming service has made quite a few revelations but one that will probably tickle gaming and comics fans pink is the handful of teasers that Marvel just dumped on YouTube. From long-delayed series like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to completely new additions, Marvel and Disney are lining up their MCU eggs early for 2021.
The upcoming movie adaptation of the Hideo Kojima video game Metal Gear Solid has its Solid Snake. A report this morning suggests that Oscar Isaac is attached to play the lead role, in the latest win in a whirlwind of wins for the actor. Reports suggest that the Metal Gear Solid film had Jay Basu and Derek Connolly attached as writers, and Joran Vogt-Robers ready to direct.
The big Fortnite Nexus War (Galactus event) will take place tomorrow, December 1, at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, giving players the chance to participate in what may be the biggest season conclusion in the game's history. Epic has heavily teased that players will have a role in the battle that'll take place, but what else can you expect?
December 1 will bring the end of Fortnite's season four and its big Marvel superhero crossover. The event will be marked by the Nexus War, which players expect to be a huge event that may (if certain leaks are accurate) usher in yet another island. Epic has started dropping teasers for the event, indirectly revealing quite a few details.
I don’t think it’s controversial to say that Netflix is a little trigger happy when it comes to cancelling its original shows. We’ve lost a lot of greats throughout the years, but one that certainly stung for me was Daredevil, which is a show that I would definitely place among the greatest superhero TV shows of all time. It was a real disappointment to lose it after only three seasons, when it really felt like Daredevil was hitting its stride.
A tip this week says Fortnite will soon have a feature that'll change the game. Where in the past, the idea that anyone would be "modding" Fortnite was punishable by ban. Now, if what's in the works is indeed what's expected, Epic Games is far more open to the idea that users might want to make Fortnite their own personal do-anything playground for chaos.
As most PlayStation 5 users are likely already aware, the Ultimate Edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales comes with a new version of Marvel's Spider-Man remastered for PlayStation 5. Not only does this new version of the game feature some souped-up graphics, but it also ships with a few new suits and even a new character model for Peter Parker.
Epic Games has finally confirmed the details for its upcoming 'Nexus War' event in Fortnite, one that will wrap up the Marvel crossover with Galactus arriving on the battle royale island. This event is expected to be massive and, based on some leaks, it may even result in yet another island change.
A bit of leaked news on the future of Deadpool was released today, pointing in a positive direction for this post-Fox-buy franchise. Deadpool 2 was released in the year 2018, every bit as R-rated as its predecessor. Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were part of Fox, the company that also owned the X-Men movie franchise. Since then, Fox was acquired by Disney, the company that owns Marvel (and the Marvel Cinematic Universe for big-name Marvel movies). Now, it would seem, the same company that owns the MCU, is also in charge of Deadpool.
Epic Games is gearing up for its biggest esports event this season, one that includes a million-dollar prize pool and all the fame that comes with victory. The event, called the Fortnite Marvel Super Cup, will take place on Monday following tomorrow's Venom Cup competition; those who win will unlock the Venom skin before everyone else.
