Marvel's Hit-Monkey was given a release date, character details, and a teaser trailer in a press release on Monday. Hit-Monkey will premiere on Hulu on November 17, 2021. All 10 episodes will premiere at once, according to an article on Marvel.com.

The series is created by Will Speck and Josh Gordon. The pair previously directed the Will Ferrell movie Blades of Glory and the Jason Bateman comedy Office Christmas Party.

Hit-Monkey is about Monkey, a Japanese snow monkey who teams up with the ghost of an American assassin named Bryce to battle the Yakuza. Monkey will be played by Fred Tatasciore and Bryce will be voiced by Jason Sudeikis.

Actors George Takei, Ally Maki, and Nobi Nakanishi will also be featured in the series along with Office Christmas Party actress Olivia Munn. Takei plays Shinji, an honest politician who used to be a servant that had to take up new responsibility after a tragedy. Shinji's niece, Akiko, will be played by Munn. Akiko is the future Prime Minister of Japan who recently returned to Japan from the west with new, dark ideas.

Maki plays Haruka, a cop who recently came to Tokyo on a mission to clean up the city. Her partner, Ito, will be played by Nakanishi. Ito is described as the laughing stock of the Tokyo Police Department with a drinking problem to boot. But he's the only one who believes Hit Monkey is on the good side.

This is the fourth Marvel TV show to premire on Hulu following the MCU live-action series Runaways and Helstrom and the non-MCU animated MODOK. Hit-Monkey does not take place in the MCU.

Marvel is currently airing the first season of the animated MCU series What If...? on Disney+. IGN's review of the recent Killmonger What If...? episode said, "Michael B. Jordan’s return to the MCU as Killmonger succeeds thanks to a story that makes good use of the character’s strengths and skillset."

Digital Eclipse wants to revive Marvel vs. Capcom 2 with a remaster, and the studio head says discussions about the project have begun. In an interview with GamerHubTV on YouTube, Digital Eclipse's Mike Mika said both Disney and Capcom have been approached about the idea.

"We’ve begun some discussions on that right now and we’re trying to see how far we can go. But ultimately, at the end of the day, it’s really not up to us," Mika said. "So all we can really do is just make the best case possible and try to make it easy for them, and see if they’re interested.”

In 2009 Digital Eclipse, called Backbone Entertainment at the time, released a port of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 digital storefronts. The game was pulled at the end of 2013 after Capcom's licenses to use Marvel's characters expired. Earlier this summer, the #FreeMvC2 campaign exploded in an effort from fans to try and make the game more easily accessible.

Since becoming Digital Eclipse in 2015, the studio has become known for remastering classic games. Digital Eclipse has worked on collections for Mega Man, Street Fighter, SNK, Disney, and more.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes originally released in 2000. It originally came to arcades and the Dreamcast, before arriving on PS2 and Xbox in 2002.

As production continues on 2023's The Flash, director Andy Muschietti has posted an intriguing new teaser image on Instagram.

The teaser in question shows a familiar Batman costume defaced with the Flash's colors and logo:

The Batsuit looks to be the same design Michael Keaton wore in 1992's Batman Returns, which featured a slightly different Bat emblem and torso armor shape compared to the original costume from 1989's Batman Returns. We already know Keaton and Ben Affleck are both reprising their respective Batman roles, though Keaton has admitted to having a hard time grasping the concept of the DC multiverse.

Interestingly, this image brings to mind the defaced Robin costume glimpsed in Batman v Superman, which hinted at a dark confrontation between the Boy Wonder and the Joker at some point in the DCEU's past. Director Zack Snyder later revealed this Robin was meant to be Dick Grayson, not Jason Todd. Should we take this as a clue that Keaton's version of Bruce Wayne may have a bone to pick with Ezra Miller's Barry Allen? Or is this image simply teasing the idea that Barry will help coax an aging Bruce out of retirement? Or maybe Barry loses his own costume and has to repurpose one of Batman's old suits?

At this point, we can only speculate as to the true meaning behind this teaser. We're hoping to learn more about the plot of The Flash and Keaton's exact role at DC FanDome in October.

DC fans can also look forward to a new trailer for The Batman as well as updates on movies like Black Adam and Aquaman 2, shows like Superman & Lois, The Flash and Sweet Tooth and games like Batman: Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is now also investigating Activision Blizzard for how the company handled allegations of sexual misconduct and workplace discrimination. This is a separate investigation following a similar lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Securities and Exchange Commission has subpoenaed Activision, including CEO Bobby Kotick. The SEC is requesting documents from Activision board meetings from 2019, personnel files for former employees as well as separation agreements the company made this year.

The SEC also requested communication logs between Kotick and other Activision senior executives, particularly in regards to anything about sexual harassment or discrimination complaints.

In a statement to WSJ, Activision confirmed the SEC’s investigation and says the company is “cooperating with the SEC.”

The investigation is the second against Activision Blizzard after the CDFH accused the video game developer behind Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, of regularly discriminating against female employees. The lawsuit says the company regularly underpaid female employees for the same work, and created a hostile work environment with rampant sexual harassment.

Activision Blizzard initially dismissed the lawsuit, but investigations have shown discontent among employees, and the company’s response led to a walkout in protest. While Kotick has since called the initial response “tone-deaf” the National Labor Relations Board recently accused Activision of intimidating employees for speaking out.

The company has also hired a new Chief People Officer, Julie Hodges, from the Walt Disney Co. to oversee HR and build a more equitable workplace.

Novelist and screenwriter Max Allan Collins has revealed his next project. The author of Road to Perdition (the basis for the 2002 film) will return with Fancy Anders Goes to War, a WWII-era mystery with a very famous murder victim at its center.

Fancy Anders Goes to War features the titular investigator struggling to solve the murder of propaganda icon Rosie the Riveter, a mission which takes on new urgency when President Franklin D. Roosevelt is targeted for assassination. This novella also features illustrations from James Bond artist Fay Dalton.

Here's the official description for the new book:

Fall 1942. When her Hollywood private detective daddy is called back to uniform, Fancy Anders is issued orders of her own: answer the phone, make referrals, and keep the place dusted. But the 24-year-old Barnard grad—whose hobbies include shooting, flying and jujitsu—isn’t having any.

At Amalgamated Aircraft, a young female worker chosen to pose for patriotic photos and posters has met with a suspicious “accidental death.” Fancy takes the victim’s place on the swing shift, fitting in well with co-workers very much not from high society circles. With the occasional reluctant help of LAPD homicide cop Rick Hinder, Fancy takes a hammer to the head of a saboteur, sniffs out an enemy within, and sets out to prevent an assassination attempt on President Roosevelt, scheduled to tour the plant and greet the women who work long, hard hours for the war effort.

“In years of working with artists in both novels and comics, few rival Fay for her artistry and faithful attention to the text,” said Collins in a statement. Also, she could easily play Fancy Anders in a movie, as long as she can restrain her pesky British accent."

Fancy Anders Goes to War will be released digitally on Tuesday, October 5. No print release has been confirmed yet. The book is the first of three collaborations between Collins and Dalton.

In other news, IGN recently spoke with Devil's reign writer Chip Zdarsky about why the Kingpin has become an Avengers-level threat. You can also check out our exclusive preview of Lugosi: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Dracula.
