Detective Pikachu is on the horizon, and while we're still trying to figure out just what makes Ryan Reynolds the perfect fit for the voice of Pikachu, The Pokemon Company has gone along and announced a bunch of merchandise for the movie.

Earlier this week, Lionsgate released the first teaser trailer for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. It was a teaser in every sense of the word - the 10 second clip merely showed John Wick running through the rain before revealing that a full trailer would be released on January 17.

Now that Venom (2018) proved itself a box-office hit, the path to production for a reboot of the legend known as Spawn might be ready to roll. So says Todd McFarlane, co-creator of Venom (back when Venom was a Spider-Man spin-off), and originator of Spawn and Image Comics, the house that Spawn built.
