Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has indicated that connections to the multiverse will appear in the MCU "before and after" Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. During a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes TV, Feige dropped a few hints about the studio's plans to further explore the multiverse concept. He seemingly confirmed that the multiverse would go on to serve as a reemerging theme in the MCU timeline after the events of the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel, which is scheduled to hit theaters on March 25, 2022. "The title of the next Doctor Strange movie is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, so that is our biggest clue that that movie will embrace the Multiverse and the madness therein, very directly," Feige teased, without going into specifics. "There are, as we always like to do, connections before and after that, which will remain to be seen and discovered." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/14/what-is-doctor-strange-2s-multiverse-of-madness"] Feige noted that Doctor Strange 2 will tackle the concept of the multiverse in the "most direct way," though he also didn't disregard its presence elsewhere in the MCU. While details remain scarce at this stage, it has already been confirmed that the sequel to the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring blockbuster will have ties to WandaVision and also Spider-Man 3. Marvel's WandaVision is currently streaming on Disney+, with new episodes being released Fridays at midnight PT/3am ET, while Spider-Man 3 is set to swing into theaters on December 17, 2021. Both of these titles are set to be released "before" Doctor Strange 2, with a packed slate scheduled to come "after" Strange's next adventure. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] It was previously reported that Doctor Strange will appear in Spider-Man 3, which is shaping up to be quite a star-studded event, with Jamie Foxx back as Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Alfred Molina reportedly returning as Doctor Octopus, and rumours that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire will reprise their roles as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Kirsten Dunst will return as Mary-Jane. Spider-Man 3's casting line-up, confirmed or otherwise, seems to be hinting at a live-action Spiderverse/multiverse crossover of epic proportions, which could possibly be intertwined with later events in the MCU, particularly the Multiverse of Madness.

CD Projekt Red concept art has revealed what Cyberpunk 2077's Johnny Silverhand character may have looked like, prior to Keanu Reeves taking on the role. As spotted by AltChar, concepts found on CD Projekt Red Senior Concept Artist and Coordinator Lea Leonowicz' ArtStation profile provide a glimpse at Johnny Silverhand without Keanu Reeves' likeness. [caption id="attachment_2464136" align="alignnone" width="3426"] 'Cyberpunk 2077 Johnny Silverhand Concept Art', posted with permission of Lea Leonowicz.[/caption] This version of Silverhand looks a little younger than the Johnny we see in the game, lacking the facial hair and featuring a more toned physique. The character still has his trademark cybernetic arm, and many of the outfits shown are very similar, including Silverhand's shiny pants, red sunglasses and Samurai tanktop. One piece from the 'First Sketches' concept art is a little bit more glam rock than the rest, showing a vision of Johnny wearing a bandana and an oversized jumper. One cool detail that didn't make the final game was a spiked bracelet around the wrist of Silverhand's robot arm. Very Brutal Legend. [caption id="attachment_2464137" align="alignnone" width="1417"] 'Johnny Silverhand scene Cyberpunk 2077', posted with permission of Lea Leonowicz.[/caption] There's also another piece of concept art of Silverhand within a scene, using dual pistols to defend himself in a gunfight. It's a good look at the creative process behind the character, and potentially, a vision of what Silverhand could have looked like if CD Projekt Red chose not to hire Keanu Reeves for the role. In other Cyberpunk 2077 news, here's our performance review of the game as of the 1.06 patch.

Some details have been revealed about the new project coming from the creators of Limbo and Inside. Playdead's currently untitled project will be a "3rd-person science fiction adventure set in a remote corner of the universe," according to the job listings page on the studio's website. Within the Technical Director listing the 'Who We Are' section is slightly altered, adding that the game is being "built for multiple platforms on Unreal Engine." The openings also mention Playdead's company culture, noting that the studio's approach to development "does not include crunching towards arbitrary deadlines." Some new art from the game has also been found in the listings, which you can see in the gallery below. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=playdeads-next-game-9-pieces-of-art&captions=true"] It also notes that the game will be published by Epic Games, which we've known since March of 2020, when it was revealed that the publisher would be responsible for publishing the next games from gen Design (The Last Guardian), Playdead and Remedy Entertainment via its Epic Games Publishing division. The game was first teased back in March 2018, via postcards given out at the Game Developer's Conference. We still don't have a name or a release window for the game, but as the studio gears up for development, we'll be sure to let you know if we hear anything more.

Nintendo is the subject of yet another class-action lawsuit over its Switch console's ongoing Joy-Con drift issues, this time in Canada. It means Nintendo is now facing down potential legal trouble in Canada, the US, and across Europe. Québec-based law firm Lambert Avocat filed an application to bring a class action suit against Nintendo on January 15, seeking to "obtain a compensation for all Québec consumers who bought the Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ Lite gaming systems, as well as Joy-Con™ and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers." The firm says that drift - which sees Joy-Cons registering analog stick movement, even if they're not being touched - represents "an important, serious and hidden defect" that was not properly revealed by Nintendo. Lambert Avocat is now asking Québec residents to register as part of the suit on its website. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/11/joy-con-drift-is-still-a-huge-problem-3-years-later"] The issue of Joy-Con drift has been rearing its head since the Switch's release in 2017 – last year, we called it a disaster for the Nintendo. It's become a widespread enough issue that Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa formally apologised for the problem. This latest class action suit is just one of a slew of potential issues for the company surrounding the defect. Nintendo is facing down at least four drift cases in the US, with class action suits in Illinois, California, and two in Washington. Two of those suits are now in arbitration, with a judge in the earlier Washington case refusing Nintendo's request to dismiss it. In Europe, Nintendo is being sued by a French consumer organisation because of potential planned obsolescence, compounded by Nintendo's ongoing repairs of Joy-Cons while not providing a more permanent fix. That was followed by a joint investigation by 9 organisations based in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Greece, Norway, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia. The findings of that investigation could lead to further action. At a smaller scale, in the UK, a single customer recently took Nintendo to small claims court and won back the cost of their defective Joy-Cons, and their legal fees. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=a-history-of-nintendo-hardware-1977-to-now&captions=true"] Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser recently said that Nintendo is 'focusing' on existing Switch models, rather than the much-rumoured Switch Pro model. Bowser addressed Joy-Con drift in that discussion, but made no promises about a more permanent solution to the ongoing issue, saying, "We’re always looking at what is being sent in and for what reasons, and understanding that better. And without going into any details, it always gives us an opportunity to make improvements as we go forward." While not 100% effective, we have a guide on how to fix Joy-Con drift in some situations, as well as a list of known Switch and Joy-Con problems that could help you diagnose problems.

Morbius, which stars Jared Leto, has been delayed for the second time this month, and will now be released on 21st January, 2022.

Update: Sony has announced its Uncharted movie will be released just a bit later than previously announced. In another shift for the film, the Uncharted film starring Tom Holland will now hit theaters on February 18, 2022, as opposed to February 11. This latest move is one of several small pushes we've seen for Sony Pictures releases, including the one-week delay of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and the two-month delay for Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Original story follows: [poilib element="accentDivider"] Sony Pictures has announced that Uncharted, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Cinderella, and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway have all been delayed. Uncharted has moved from July 16, 2021 to February 11, 2022, Ghostbusters: Afterlife has moved from June 11, 2021 to November 11, 2021, Cinderella has moved from February 5, 2021 to July 16, 2021, and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway has moved from April 2, 2021 to June 11, 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/22/first-look-at-tom-holland-in-the-uncharted-movie-ign-now"] While COVID-19 has had an impact on film studios around the world, this is another bump in the road for the project that has seen multiple delays and over six directors. Fortunately, we did finally receive our first glimpse of Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and some images from the film. The Uncharted film is being directed by Ruben Fleischer and will also star Mark Wahlberg, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle and Antonio Banderas. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a sequel to the original films and was originally set to be released in 2020. The film is being directed and co-written by Jason Reitman and will see the return of original stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver alongside new stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd. Cinderella is a musically-driven and bold take on the classic tale and stars Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, Billy Porter, Nicholas Galitzine, Minnie Driver and Pierce Brosnan. The film is being directed by Kay Cannon. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/09/ghostbusters-afterlife-official-trailer"] Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway continues the story of Peter and his family. In this film, directed by Will Gluck, Peter can't seem to shake his mischievous side and must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be when his family "risks everything to come looking for him" after he adventures out of the garden. These films join an ever-growing list of delayed movies alongside the newest James Bond film - No Time To Die - and Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho.
