Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters almost three years ago, and it’s been a long time since we’ve heard any word about the next adventure of Spider-Man. But now, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is in talks to helm Spider-Man 4 for Marvel Studios and Sony. And the film may begin shooting very soon.Via The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel and Sony are planning to film the sequel early next year. Tom Holland will be back as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and the screenwriting team of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are also returning for the new film.Assuming Cretton closes his deal, he will be only the fourth Spider-Man live-action director since the original film was released in 2002. Sam Raimi helmed the first Spider-Man trilogy, while Marc Webb tackled the two Amazing Spider-Man films. More recently, Jon Watts directed his own Spider-Man trilogy with Holland.Cretton was previously signed to direct Avengers 5 when it was still known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. He subsequently stepped aside before Marvel retooled it into Avengers: Doomsday and hired the Russo brothers to helm that film and Avengers: Secret Wars. Cretton has been busy working on Marvel…

If there was ever a video game adaptation that seemed to scream for an animated version, it’s Minecraft. The signature squared look of Minecraft’s world and its characters is difficult to pull off in live-action, but the upcoming film, A Minecraft Movie, is doing just that. However, a trio of Minecraft fans decided that they could improve upon the recently released trailer by remaking it with animation.
what if it was animated https://t.co/ZSCCIRWWx0 pic.twitter.com/5tflziDatS — Alumio (@Alumio_) September 8, 2024
The video above was made by users who go by Alumio, Maraylin, and Comic Cyrus. As Alumio explained on his YouTube page, they didn’t like the trailer for the movie and that’s why they decided to improve upon it. For the most part, they did a very good job with it, and the trailer looks like it was recorded in Minecraft itself. The one area where the recreation comes up short is conveying the emotions of the human characters. And that is kind of the key to getting viewers to buy into them.So far, what we know about the movie is that four ordinary people–as…
Compared to its western counterparts, anime that has been CG-animated regularly pales in comparison. Trigun Stampede is one of the rare exceptions to that rule, and at long last, this masterpiece of cutting-edge animation is headed to Blu-ray. Preorders are now live for regular and limited edition sets. Trigun Stampede puts a new spin on the sci-fi western manga series that is well-worth watching, and the limited edition release, shown below, looks fantastic. Both versions are available to preorder now at Amazon ahead of Trigun Stampede’s September 10 release, which happens to be the same day Trigun’s Deluxe Edition manga arrives–and you can save on your preorder for that massive 704-page collection at Amazon, too.

Bethesda has put out more details about Starfield’s first story expansion: Shattered Space. The frightful DLC will add a new world, new craftable grenades, and new enemies to fight alongside a new set of story missions.The DLC will take place on one new planet, Va’ruun’kai, but there will be over 50 new locations to explore there. The DLC appears to have a distinct cosmic horror flavor. As such, you’ll encounter new horrific enemies called Redeemed/Vortex horrors. You’ll be able to craft new “organic” grenades from material you find on Va’runn’kai. Other factions, such as Zealots, Spacers, and the Crimson Fleet, will also appear on the planet.
Thank you to the millions of players who have made the Settled Systems their home and helped make this an incredible first year for @StarfieldGame.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is the first Quidditch video game in over two decades, giving the fictional sport the proper sports game treatment it’s lacked for so long. Despite a noticeable lack of microtransactions available, it comes with most of the trappings of modern live-service games, including an excess of digital currencies–Gold, Moonstones and Winged Keys being the main ones. But while Gold and Moonstoones flow freely as you play, Winged Keys are a lot sparser, and it will take a while to earn enough of them to buy anything. But the task is hardly an impossible one–below, we’ll break down how to get more Winged Keys as you play Quidditch Champions.
How to get more Winged Keys in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
Quidditch Champions is here, and it’s got a lot of Harry Potter-themed cosmetics and skins that you can earn. And without microtransactions, you’ll be able to unlock everything just by playing. You’ll quickly find yourself with lots of Gold and Moonstones, but Winged Keys are few and far between. After my first several hours of playing Quidditch Champions, I’d earned enough Gold to buy the Hermione Granger skin from the Market, but I only had 20 Wing…
Travis Kelce, the NFL star and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, is making the leap to acting. One of his first big roles is a part in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie, and the first footage of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in action has now been revealed.Kelce appears in the FX murder-mystery show, but his role remains a secret. In any event, FX is leaning on the football star to promote the show, as the video begins with Kelce introducing the clip before he appears a few times in the trailer itself. In one scene, Kelce’s character says something pretty dramatic: “There is no future after this.” “Evil is all around us,” reads a line from the show’s description. The 10-episode series tells the story of a “series of heinous crimes” in a small community. Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) investigates the killings and believes they are “eerily personal, as if someone–or something–is taunting her.”She has no leads and turns to Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond) for help. But it doesn’t get easier from there. “They find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers,” the show’s description says.Grotesquerie premieres September 25 on FX, and…
After a 13-year wait, Space Marine’s sequel is nearly here. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be available tomorrow, September 5, for those who purchase the Gold or Ultra Editions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. The standard edition launches Monday, September 9. Multiple preorder bonuses are up for grabs, and the physical Gold Edition comes with a steelbook case and bonus in-game content–but this edition is only available in limited quantities. Console versions of Space Marine 2 cost $10 more than their PC counterparts. That gap is actually even wider right now, as Fanatical is discounting Steam keys for all three editions ahead of launch.If you’re unsure if you want to buy the long-awaited sequel, we awarded it an 8/10 in our Space Marine 2 review-in-progress, calling it “a more-than-worthy successor to the 2011 original.” We still need to spend some time with PvP when multiplayer servers are active before finalizing our review, but the hack-and-slash combat is satisfying and the sprawling world is well-designed.
