Don Cheadle said War Machine will appear in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, according to a report from BroBible. BroBible spoke with Cheadle about his own Disney Plus show, Armor Wars, and how it will address the death of Tony Stark that happened in Avengers: Endgame, but not before spilling the beans on his involvement in the next MCU show set to premiere on the streaming service. He said the fun of the MCU is that all of the characters get to show up in each other's stories across different mediums be it movies or television. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/marvels-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-official-trailer-1"] "It's really a fun and interesting and, by all imagination, completely open-ended — this can go anywhere," Cheadle said. "It's great. I can't wait to get in the room with the writers and figure out how all those things (connecting Armor Wars to the MCU) happen. You know, Rhodey shows up in Winter Soldier and Falcon's show. So, it can be a lot." This was news to the world and it's unclear if it's a secret Cheadle let slip out in classic Tom Holland fashion or if it's something he's allowed to talk about. Regardless, it's exciting to learn that Cheadle's James Rhodes, who is War Machine, will be involved with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in some capacity. Cheadle also explained to BroBible how the War Machine-centered show, Armor Wars, will address Tony Stark's death. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] "The death of Tony Stark, I'm pretty sure, will play a role in the series," Cheadle said. "Where we've been sort of progressing Rhodey — even in the last film where he's now up again and he's now walking again and he's now mobile again — so as the technology continues to develop and we keep making innovations in the suit and what happens, I imagine there's gonna be another elevation and another way that we're going to keep digging into that part of Rhodey." Cheadle continued and said figuring out a way to bridge what's happening in the comics with what's happening in the MCU is really exciting. It's unknown at this time when Armor Wars is set to premiere on Disney Plus, but The Falcon and the Winter Soldier premieres on March 19. While waiting for these shows to be released, read about how The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is going to bring back some of the earliest MCU characters, and then check out Anthony Mackie in his new Falcon costume. Meanwhile, Marvel's first foray into Disney+ TV is off to a rollicking with WandaVision.

The long-awaited Justice League Snyder Cut has received its official rating from the MPAA. The movie is rated R for "violence and some language." The original cut of Justice League was rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, suggesting the Snyder Cut will tread some more adult waters. Zack Snyder's Justice League is hitting HBO Max on March 18, where it will drop as a single four-hour film rather than divided segments as previously thought. There's plenty of opportunities for Snyder to inject more violence and language, considering the Snyder Cut includes 150 minutes of previously unseen footage. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-trailer"] You can read our individual stories about villain Steppenwolf's new design, the cut dialogue from Superman and Batman's confrontation, and Joe Manganiello's role as Deathstroke in the Justice League reshoots, which reportedly cost $70 Million.

The Texas Public Safety Department has apologized for accidentally sending out an Amber alert emergency message that said Chucky, the murderous doll from Child's Play, was the suspect in a kidnapping. Amber alerts are used to notify the public of a kidnapping or missing child – meaning no one should have gotten one about Chucky, the orange-haired, denim overalls-wearing, rampaging murderous doll from Child's Play. That's what happened to citizens in Texas recently, according to The Guardian. [caption id="attachment_2468988" align="alignnone" width="1141"] The Amber alert for Glen and Chucky. (Source: Click2Houston/Texas Public Safety Department)[/caption] The Amber alert, which was beamed out to all phones not just once, but three separate times, described the suspect as a 16-pound, 3-foot-1, 28 year-old doll named Chucky, with red-auburn hair and blue eyes. As if that description wasn't enough to confirm that it's the doll we all fear, the alert also said Chucky was seen wearing blue denim overalls with a striped long-sleeve shirt and carrying a large knife. To top it off, the victim in the kidnapping was Chucky's in-universe son, Glen. It's one thing to receive this message from an unknown number, but imagine receiving this message from your state's official emergency channels. According to The Guardian, Texas Public Safety Department issued an apology, saying said "this alert is a result of a test malfunction," and that it apologizes "for the confusion this may have caused and (the state is) diligently working to ensure this does not happen again." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/24/is-chucky-the-greatest-movie-slasher-of-all-time"] Confusion is a bit of an understatement considering an Amber alert like this would have been downright terrifying, but nonetheless, it was all the result of a malfunction and not of the horror-slasher character coming to life. Thank goodness. For more Chucky coverage, be sure to check out our review of his latest movie outing, Child's Play, and then watch this video discussing whether or not Chucky is the greatest movie slasher of all time.

Crash Bandicoot is coming to mobile devices later this year with King’s Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! During a hands-off preview event hosted by Apple, developer King shared more details about the surprisingly robust mobile game, including how it will feature hundreds of skins, but no loot boxes at all. Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! Brings together Crash-style platforming with an auto-runner. Jump and spin your way past familiar levels and boss fights while Crash automatically runs through a given level. Taking a page from Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, On the Run! Will feature over a hundred different skins for Crash and Coco. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/04/crash-bandicoot-on-the-run-new-gameplay"] During a Q&A, King did not reveal the primary ladder in which players can earn skins but confirmed that there would “absolutely no loot boxes at all.” Instead, Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! Will feature numerous systems, including seasonal content and a battle pass. The seasonal content will include special challenges, storylines, and a unique boss. King dove deep into the history of Crash to find both fan-favorite and obscure bosses for Crash to face. One such boss is Mr. Crumb who appeared only once before in Crash history. Another layer to On the Run! Is Coco’s Base, a resource management mode in between runs where players can customize and build out different parts of the base. Players can earn trophies and other physical items from runs they can then place around the base, or spend resources to build and upgrade new structures. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=crash-bandicoot-on-the-run-screenshots&captions=true"] On the whole Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! Looks like a love letter to fans of the series. Levels and enemies are pulled from the deep well of Crash Bandicoot history, and features like Coco’s Base, asynchronous PvP races, and a Guild/Clan system offer a level of depth beyond the typical auto-runner on mobile. Pre-purchase for Crash Bandicoot: On the Run is available now on the App Store. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a reporter for IGN.

League of Legends: Wild Rift, Riot’s long-awaited mobile version of its popular MOBA, is finally coming to North America in March. During a new preview hosted by Apple, IGN has learned that while there won’t be parity between Wild Rift and the PC version out the gate, Riot is aiming to have “70 or so” Champions at the onset. The Apple-focused event spent a lot of time discussing some of the benefits of League of Legends: Wild Rift on iPhone 12s, including smooth performance and network connectivity thanks to 5G. But ultimately it was a chance to get a good look at Wild Rift before its North American debut next month. As you’d expect, League of Legends: Wild Rift is a mobile version of the PC MOBA. Riot says it’s completely built from the ground-up for mobile rather than a port, and because of the updated models and maps Wild Rift is actually the “most high-fidelity League of Legends experience” on any device, including PC. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/03/league-of-legends-wild-rift-ashe-gameplay"] While there won’t be parity with the PC version, Riot says there will be 70+ Champions on Wild Rift compared to the over 150 on PC. But Riot is making a big push for Wild Rift, calling it a version of League of Legends that can fit best within people’s lives. Whether they want to pursue hardcore competitive modes or play a casual game during downtime. Riot estimate that games on average take about 17-minutes, so possible on some commutes. Riot makes it clear that this isn’t League of Legends “Lite” and that newcomers and veterans will find the same League of Legends experience with Wild Rift as they do on PC. Riot is even planning competitions based on the mobile version exclusively. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=league-of-legends-wild-rift-iphone-12-screenshots&captions=true"] And for longtime League of Legends players, Wild Rift will compensate your dedication to the series when you log into the mobile version. Wild Rift will reward veteran players with adequate “compensation” once they connect their Riot Account, though the developers didn’t clarify what those rewards might entail.
