The winners of the Critics' Choice Super Awards have been announced, with Amazon's The Boys coming out on top in the TV series category. The TV adaptation of Garth Ennis' comic book earned four awards in total, including one for the best superhero series, at the Critics Choice Super Awards that aired on The CW on Sunday night. Produced remotely following COVID safety protocols, ceremony hosts Kevin Smith and Dani Fernandez handed out awards that honored the most popular, fan-obsessed genres across both television and movies. In the TV series category, Starr was the only actor to take home multiple awards for his work, as he gained recognition as the best actor and best villain for his role in The Boys. His co-star Aya Cash picked up the trophy for best actress in a superhero series. The Mandalorian also dropped an award into its camtono of accolades, as the popular Disney+ series was named best sci-fi/fantasy series on the night. Over on the film side, Hulu and Neon's Palm Springs and Disney+'s Soul led the winners, earning three trophies apiece. Palm Springs won best sci-fi/fantasy movie, best actor in a sci-fi/fantasy movie for Andy Samberg, and best actress in a sci-fi/fantasy movie for Cristin Milioti, while Pixar's Soul won the title for best animated movie.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said that the next Deadpool movie will be R-rated, and be part of the MCU – with Ryan Reynolds working on a script right now. Speaking to Collider during a WandaVision press event, Feige went into a little more detail about the project: “It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan [Reynolds is] overseeing a script right now… It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] There has been some confusion over whether the MCU would (or perhaps could) include Deadpool, particularly as no Marvel movie has yet crossed over into R ratings. However, Feige seems to be confirming both an R rating and its place in the MCU. Another hurdle could have been the age limit on streaming service Disney+ – however, the upcoming Disney Star service (which allows for higher age ratings) may help account for that. At the same event, Feige told IGN that Reynolds is working on a script - presumably the Deadpool 3 script penned by Bob's Burgers writers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin. This hopefully puts to rest fears that Deadpool wouldn't happen at Marvel Studios, despite Ryan Reynolds visiting the studio for talks in 2019. Whether Deadpool 2 director David Leitch returns is an outlying question - his deadline is reportedly full through 2021, but Feige's comments also confirm that no filming will take place this year, meaning he could feasibly come onboard. There is a lot of MCU to come before Deadpool, however – with pandemic-related delays meaning no MCU content arrived in 2020, we have WandaVision, The Falcon & Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Loki, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, What If...?, Eternals and the untitled third Tom Holland Spider-Man movie to arrive in 2021 alone. Here's every official project on the MCU slate right now. WandaVision – the first of Marvel's new streaming series – begins this week, on January 15, making it the perfect time to check back on the timeline of Scarlet Witch and Vision in the MCU.

Star Wars games will now be brought together under a single banner, Lucasfilm Games. Announced today on StarWars.com, the company revealed that, "Lucasfilm Games is now the official identity for all gaming titles from Lucasfilm, a name that encompasses the company’s rich catalog of video games and its eye toward the future." It marks a similar move to Xbox Game Studios and PlayStation Studios, both of which group multiple developers under a single banner. All future Star Wars games will see the new Lucasfilm Games banner displayed. Check out a sizzle reel below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/11/lucasfilm-star-wars-games-sizzle-official-trailer"] Lucasfilm Games now also has dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages, "which will deliver breaking news and more directly to fans." No new games or teases were made as part of the announcement. The name is actually a return for the Lucasfilm Games brand, which ran throughout the '80s (and created the likes of Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, and more) until being rebranded as LucasArts in 1990. What Lucasfilm Games are on the way is a bigger question – following Star Wars Squadrons, there aren't a lot of Star Wars games officially lined up, although LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is on its way, and we know Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is intended as the start of a new franchise.

You might think OLED TVs are in a tight spot with Samsung Neo QLED and TCL Mini LED TVs coming to market soon, but LG is here to show you its emissive displays still have a few new tricks. LG has announced a new G1 Series with OLED Evo technology that promises to deliver greater luminosity for a brighter picture with punchier colors. The new LG G1 Series is also an elegantly thin panel display, making it perfect for wall mounting. Alternatively, this 4K TV also comes with a standing tripod base so it can stand at eye-level without need any TV console. [caption id="attachment_2460040" align="aligncenter" width="720"] LG G1 Series[/caption] On top of announcing a new series of screens, LG has also updated its flagship CX Series with the new C1 Series. Whereas last year LG announced a compact 48-inch option to act as a gaming monitor, this year there’s a new 83-inch version for users looking for the biggest OLED screen possible. LG’s 2021 TVs also come with a new bag of gaming tricks including a 1ms response time and low input lag. There’s also a new Game Optimizer that applies the best picture quality depending on the type of games you’re playing while also placing all game-related settings in one place. LG’s TVs also come with G-Sync, FreeSync, and Variable Refresh Rate support. [caption id="attachment_2460039" align="aligncenter" width="720"] LG C1 Series[/caption] Both the new G1 and C1 Series TVs come fitted with an α (Alpha) 9 Gen 4 AI processor for deep learning enhanced sound and audio. AI Picture Pro removes noises and optimizes picture quality, and it can use scene detection to improve picture quality based on the scenes you’re watching. AI Sound Pro adds virtual 5.1.2 surround sound to boost the quality of LG’s TV speakers. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story?

TCL is rolling out a new 6-Series of TVs and while you might think it’s yet another batch of budget TVs, the entire TCL 2021 lineup will only feature 8K TVs. With this bump in resolution, the new TCL 6-Series will pack four times the resolution of today’s 4K TVs. These sets will also feature an improved AiPQ Engine to power 8K image upscaling. Unfortunately, those are all the details TCL is serving up on its 8K TVs for now, so there’s no word on further specs, pricing, or availability. At the very least though TLC pledges that this move will make 8K more accessible. [caption id="attachment_2459740" align="aligncenter" width="720"] 85 inch 4-Series TCL Roku TV (85R435)[/caption]

XL Collection

On top of raising the resolution of its flagship TVs, TCL also announced a new XL collection of 85-inch screens. This is the first time TCL has put out sets this big, and the XL collection so far consists of an 85 inch 4-Series TCL Roku TV (85R435), 85-inch 4K HDR TCL QLED TCL Roku TV (85R745), and 85 inch 8K mini-LED TCL TV. The 85 inch 4-Series TCL Roku TV aims to be the most affordable big screen TV at $1,599 when it arrives within the first quarter of this year. [caption id="attachment_2459737" align="aligncenter" width="720"] 85-inch 4K HDR TCL QLED TCL Roku TV (85R745)[/caption] For those looking for a higher-quality HDR experience, the 85-inch 4K HDR TCL QLED TCL Roku TV (85R745) adds Quantum Dot (QLED) color technology to deliver better brightness and wider color volume. Lastly, the 85-inch 8K TV is powered by a mini-LED backlighting system. The 85 inch QLED TCL Roku TV (85R745) and 85 inch mini-LED powered 8K TV are both set to arrive later within the next few months.

OD Zero mini-LED

TCL also took this time to tease its 3rd generation mini-LED backlight called OD Zero mini-LED technology that will be launching later this year. TCL was one of the first TV makers to put mini-LED technology into its TVs last year. OD Zero kicks things up a notch by packing tens of thousands of mini-LEDs to create thousands of Contrast Control Zones. OD Zero also reduces the distance between the mini-LED backlight layer and the LCD display layer to 0mm, so you get an unbelievably high brightness and deep contrast from an ultra-slim display.

The Umbrella Academy Season 3 has unveiled the cast line-up for The Sparrow Academy, and it includes a telekinetic cube named Christopher. Netflix announced that Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Jake Epstein, Genesis Rodriguez, and Cazzie David will be appearing as the alternate crew in the next season of The Umbrella Academy, together with Justin H. Min who is set to return as Ben but not the one that we know. They will star alongside Christopher, a mysterious cube that serves as a loyal oracle of the Sparrows. Meet the cast of The Sparrow Academy in our slideshow below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-umbrella-academy-season-3-the-sparrow-academy-cast&captions=true"] Cornwell will portray Marcus, aka Sparrow No. 1, who is described as being "charming, chiseled and colossus," as well as "honest, virtuous and demanding." According to Netflix, he will play an important role in the family dynamic as he will ultimately help to keep them all together. "Graceful but lethal, calculated but compassionate, he is as smart as he is strong," says the streamer. "Marcus is disciplined, rational, and in control. He oozes confidence and leadership without ever having to raise his voice." Min will return as Ben, Sparrow No. 2 in Season 3, but it's "not the sweet Ben we know and love." In his alternate role, Ben is said to be "a Machiavellian tactician, wrapped up in a pretty boy body with a rumbling inner-squid." He is described as being "vicious, pragmatic, and hyper-vigilant" as he focuses on gaining his status as the leader, whatever the cost. Oldford will play Fei, Sparrow No. 3, a character that "sees the world in a special way" and "comes across as a misanthrope who would rather be alone than spend even a second with you," however, beneath that tough exterior, Fei wishes she had a friend. Rather than socialising with pals, she spends most of the time being "the smartest person in the room." Netflix says she is a sedulous individual who is "willing to work things out" and "won't stop until the job is done." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/01/the-umbrella-academy-season-2-ending-explained"] Epstein's Alphonso is Sparrow No. 4, a person whose face and body are scarred with "countless visual reminders of his battles" from his years of crime-fighting. Externally, he may be bruised but internally he is "armed with a caustic and biting sense of humor." According to the streamer, "the only thing he likes better than verbally battering anyone foolish enough to get in his face, is a good pizza and a six-pack of beer." Rodriguez will star as Sloane, Sparrow No. 5, "a romantic and a dreamer who feels a higher cosmic calling leaving her eager to see the world and experience a life beyond her upbringing." Yet her obligations to her family keep her tethered to the Academy, as does her fear of crossing the family line. "But Sloane has plans," Netflix reveals. "And one day she might just be brave enough to act on them." David's Jayme, aka Sparrow No. 6, is described as being "a loner hidden under a hoodie," though she does have a friend in Alphonso who she enjoys spending time with when she isn't busy giving out her "fear-inducing snarls." Apparently, if you catch a glimpse of it, you would want to "run across the street to avoid what follows." Finally, an existential dread-inducing psykronium cube will join the motley crew as Sparrow No. 7. "Christopher is a telekinetic cube of unknown origin," per Netflix. "He can turn the room freezing cold and induce paralyzing fear. He acts as the Sparrows' consulted oracle who hands out incredible advice and serves as the family mediator. Trustworthy, loyal, and is treated by the Sparrows like any other sibling, Christopher is a force to be reckoned with." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/31/the-umbrella-academy-season-2-review"] Production on The Umbrella Academy Season 3 is set to kick off in Toronto next month. In the meantime, be sure to check out our review of The Umbrella Academy: Season 2, including this deep dive explainer of the ending and what it means for Season 3.
