Snoop Dogg Added to NHL 20 as a Playable Character and Commentator
A recent NHL 20 update has added Snoop Dogg into the game as a playable character and commentator. The patch released on December 5, officially adding the iconic rapper into the game — and it's pretty great.
Snoop Dogg is no stranger to the NHL. Earlier this year, he made an appearance at an LA Kings game, serving as a guest play-by-play announcer.
Snoop Dogg took to Twitter to announce his addition to NHL 20, saying, "Ice hockey really be lit now with me in the booth!!" Based on the announcement trailer, Snoop won't be your traditional announcer and will bring some of his uniqueness to the game.
Black Widow: New Taskmaster Footage Revealed at Brazil Comic Con
Marvel screened never-before-seen footage from Black Widow at Brazil Comic Con on Saturday. While the footage isn’t currently available online, IGN Brazil was there to describe what was revealed behind closed doors!
The scene starts with Alexei (David Harbour) dressing up in his old Red Guardian uniform. He sits at a table with Natasha (Scarlett Johansson), Melina (Rachel Weisz) and Yelena (Florence Pugh). They talk about being a family, but observe that the term may not be appropriate to describe them any longer. (We saw a bit of this scene in the new trailer that dropped last week.)
The Mandalorian: Who Was That at the End of Episode 5?
Warning: Full spoilers for the fifth episode of Star Wars: The Mandalorian follow...
Episode 5 of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, "The Gunslinger," may not have gifted us with endless Baby Yoda Drinking Soup memes, but it did give us a ton of New Hope-era Tatooine nods, as Mando found himself crash-landing on the famous sand planet while on the run from his fellow bounty hunters.
From the Mos Eisley cantina (now run by EV-9D9 droids) to Tusken Raiders to Beggar's Canyon to the famous "Maclunkey!" booth, Episode 5 was a celebration of all things Tatooine-y. Including, possibly, the return of the franchise's most famous bounty hunter!
Marvel’s Eternals: Trailer Footage Description
The first trailer for The Eternals was revealed at the Marvel Studios panel at the Brazilian Comic-Con Experience 2019. While the video itself is not available for online streaming, IGN Brazil was there to break down what was shown.
The footage starts with a door opening. An old man says he "missed them" to the beings before him -- the Eternals, with Ikaris (Richard Madden) out in front -- and asks them to make themselves at home. The Eternals are wearing casual clothing rather than their costumes here.
We then see the heroes laying on the beach, the sky's color indicating dusk is coming. It seems like they don’t know where they are. During the evening, the Eternals are gathered around a fireplace. Ajak (Salma Hayek) is the leader of the group.
Here’s When Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 3 Premieres
What Will Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 3 be About?
From the official Part 3 summary, Netflix has released the following: Sabrina can't live with herself, knowing that Nick made the ultimate sacrifice and is suffering, burning in Hell under Madam Satan’s watchful eye.
