Crystal Dynamics has finally given fans Avengers Endgame what they want in Marvel’s Avengers. When the Avengers game was released in 2020, it did its best to distance itself from the MCU. Since then, Crystal Dynamics has 180’ed on this position and has been cashing in on the popularity of the MCU by releasing not MCU content, but MCU skins for characters like Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, and Thor, in particular, with other characters like Black Panther, Spider-Man, Ms Marvel, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Hulk, and now Jane Foster getting less MCU love....

This has most recently included Ms. Marvel, a live-action series introducing Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) and her world into live-action. With Kamala being a superfan of other superheroes, the show has had the opportunity to weave in some interesting Easter eggs and MCU ties — including one that is actually for the next Disney+ series in the pipeline, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been in theaters now for about two weeks where it’s been winning the box office and winning over both fans and critics alike as the follow up to 2016’s Black Panther not only closes out Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but moves forward the Black Panther franchise as well. A major component of both of those aspects of the film is the introduction of Namor (Tenoch Huerta), the leader of Talokan, an undersea nation that just so happens to have Vibranium like Wakanda....

Warner Bros. and DC Comics have been having a bit of a transformative time after the merger with Discovery. The studio has cancelled films like Batgirl and The Wonder Twins and it doesn’t look like they’re stopping there. Newly minted CEO David Zaslav has been searching for a Kevin Feige-type executive to lead their DC Films unit and it seems as if they’ve found their guy with Dan Lin. One of their next films will be The Flash, which will star Ezra Miller, and he has been allegedly wreaking havoc around the world....

For a little while now, The Handmaid’s Tale has been dealing with a challenge that is somewhat unique to adaptations of beloved, acclaimed literary works, in that the series has well outplayed the pages of its inspiration. Even with the release of a sequel novel, The Testaments, in 2019 offering at minimum a hint of a path forward, the Hulu series has been largely left to fill space and engineer its own way forward to mixed success....

When you live in Virginia, born and raised or otherwise, it’s easy to be a bit…well…biased when it comes to our state’s superiority. And when you talk to out-of-staters, you might be prone to bragging…just a tiny bit, of course. And perhaps, maybe, just maybe, you could be accused of exaggerating a bit…what with the aforementioned bias. But chances are, if you’re touting the merits of Virginia, then you’re not bragging, you’re just stating facts....

AEW President Tony Khan announced in an interview with TV Insider this week that the pro wrestling promotion will be teaming with one of Warner Bros.

Discovery in the wake of their merger, Khan said, “For such a hands-on, strong, and respected management team to have identified AEW multiple times in their presentation is something that is important. Privately and in business, I’m seeing it like that on a daily basis....

The Flash is returning for a shorter Season 9 that will wrap up the cast’s tenure in Central City.

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick believes PlayStation owner Sony is trying to “sabotage” Xbox’s acquisition of Activision. In early 2022, Xbox announced that it was intending to purchase Call of Duty publisher Activision for just shy of $70 billion. Given Call of Duty is such an entertainment juggernaut and Activision holds a lot of weight in this industry, the deal was a bit controversial. If it goes through, it will be the most expensive gaming acquisition to date....

While Atlus has published plenty of titles in the larger Shin Megami Tensei universe since this, it’s been 25 years since the greater franchise revisited this one specifically....
