Avengers: Endgame Directors Explain Why the Movie Is Three Hours Long
In a recent interview with Total Film magazine, directors of Avengers: Endgame, Joe and Anthony Russo, explain why the film came in at just over three-hours long, as reported by GamesRadar.
"It’s 10 years of one of the greatest experiments in movie history coming to a close, and you know, it’s an epic narrative that’s fitting right around three hours," Joe Russo said.
In terms of being pressured to cut the minutes down, Anthony Russo said the two of them are usually the ones to put that pressure on themselves.
Borderlands 3 Supports Cross-Platform Co-Op According to Microsoft Store
The listing for Borderlands 3 on Microsoft’s store page claims that the game will support cross-platform co-op.
So far in the game’s short-but-loud marketing campaign, developer Gearbox has yet to say anything about cross-platform play. And yet here it is, in black and white, under the ‘Capabilities’ section of the Microsoft store listing.
We reached out to publisher 2K for comment, who say: “Cross play is something we’re looking at closely, but don’t have anything to confirm or announce at this time.”
Hopefully Borderlands 3 will support full cross-platform compatibility, but chances are it more likely refers to co-op play between PC and Xbox One. A recent example of this kind of co-op is Sea of Thieves, although it should be noted that Rare’s pirate sandbox is a Microsoft exclusive, and thus would naturally be limited to Microsoft platforms. Still, there’s significantly less corporate mess to untangle with PC to Xbox cross-platform play than there is when Sony is involved.

Borderlands 3’s Box Art Has Been Leaked and It’s Wild
The box art for Borderlands 3 has been leaked, and it depicts the series’ Psycho mascot posed like Jesus Christ.
The art, leaked by prominent games Twitter figure Wario64, sees the Pyscho dressed in a robe with a glowing Borderlands logo forming a halo around his head. He’s holding his hand up in the ‘blessing’ style manner that Jesus is often depicted with, although here the Pyscho is holding up three fingers (because Borderlands 3). A buzz-saw substitutes a walking stick, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus is replaced by a hand grenade. Because of course it is.
Game of Thrones Water Show Hits the Bellagio in Las Vegas
As HBO readies the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, it is also celebrating the series with a "first-of-its-kind, immersive production in Las Vegas at the iconic Fountains of Bellagio."
HBO, MGM Resorts and WET Design have partnered to debut this water show the features music and imagery from Game of Thrones. The show will run three times nightly, at 8pm, 9:30pm, and 10:30pm, and will end on April 13, the day before the premiere of the final season.
The show promises that "blizzards rage, dragons fly, and for the first time the lake is set ablaze." WET Design has even worked with Game of Thrones' composer Ramin Djawadi to incorporate a custom score to the show that will, of course, take inspiration from the GoT's theme song.
We Saw Detective Pikachu Interrogate Mr. Mime
Following a pre-recorded greeting to attendees from Detective Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds), Warner Bros. showed an amusing scene from the upcoming film Pokémon: Detective Pikachu at Tuesday's CinemaCon.
In the scene, Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) and Detective Pikachu play good cop/bad cop to interrogate Mr. Mime.
Tim and Pikachu want to know why Tim's missing dad Harry Goodman was there and what else is going on, but Mr. Mime mimes to them that they can shove it.
Mr. Mime then creates an invisible wall to ward them off.
Tim nevertheless opens the door and starts to mime pouring gasoline on Mr. Mime and lighting matches in order to make him talk, but an unfazed Mr. Mime blows out the “matches” and mocks them.
It: Chapter 2 Footage Showed Adult Losers’ Club, Bev’s Return Home
The first footage from It: Chapter Two was shown at CinemaCon on Tuesday, which provided attendees with their fist look at the adult versions of the Losers' Club and the return of the sinister supernatural clown Pennywise.
Director Andy Muschietti took the stage to introduce the adult versions of the Losers' Club: James McAvoy (Bill), Jessica Chastain (Beverly), Bill Hader (Richie), Isaiah Mustafa (Mike), Jay Ryan (Ben), James Ransone (Eddie), and Andy Bean (Stanley). They were joined by their younger counterparts Wyatt Oleff (Stanley), Sophia Lillis (Beverly), Finn Wolfhard (Richie), Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ben), Chosen Jacobs (Mike), and Jack Dylan Grazer (Eddie). Jaeden Lieberher (Bill) couldn't make it.
Here’s What the Joker Trailer Shows
Warner Bros. screened the first footage from Joker at CinemaCon on Tuesday, presenting the press and attendees with an early look at the new trailer before it drops Wednesday. And the trailer isn’t what you might expect from a comic book movie trailer. In fact, Joker doesn’t seem like a comic book movie at all despite being set in Gotham City and including Bruce Wayne.
The Joker trailer is character-driven, at times morose and then operatic. Joker, judging from the teaser trailer, is definitely about a "laughing on the inside" type of clown.
The Joker is directed by The Hangover's Todd Phillips and stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, a downtrodden outsider and struggling comedian who becomes the Clown Prince of Crime. The movie is set in the 1980s, with New York City locations doubling as Gotham City.
