Patty Jenkins has stepped down from the director’s seat for the upcoming Cleopatra movie to focus on Wonder Woman 3 and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. Instead, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier director Kari Skogland will step up to tackle the historical epic.

Deadline reports that Jenkins has decided to transition into a producer role for the Cleopatra blockbuster starring Gal Gadot. Jenkins announce she would be directing the movie back in 2020 based on a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island, Alita: Battle Angel).

However, with two major blockbusters on her plate, Jenkins will now focus on the next Wonder Woman movie and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, which has been delayed indefinitely. Jenkins was originally announced to take on the Star Wars project also in 2020.

Skogland, who steps in for Jenkins as the director on Cleopatra, directed every episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as well as having directed episodes on shows like The Handmaid’s Tale, The Walking Dead, The Punisher, and more. You can read our review of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier here.

Cleopatra will revolve around the Egyptian queen who won the throne over her sibling and resisted Roman rule while taking on both Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony as lovers. The scale of the movie is reportedly comparable to an MCU film.

Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron was initially slated to begin production in 2022, but Jenkins’ commitments for Wonder Woman 3 have pushed back filming on the Star Wars film. It is unclear when Rogue Squadron will hit theaters, though it likely won’t be until 2023 at the earliest.

Meanwhile, the third Wonder Woman film will again star Gal Gadot as the Amazon princess. Given the ending of Wonder Woman 1984, it’s anyone’s guess where the next film in WB’s successful superhero franchise will go. Check out IGN’s Wonder Woman 1984 review here.

Two new Spidey suits are coming to Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered later this week to promote the upcoming release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Insomniac Games announced the suits on Twitter and showed off a brief trailer showcasing both suits. They will be available for download this Friday, December 10.

Two new suits inspired by #SpiderManNoWayHome—exclusively in movie theaters Dec. 17th—are coming Dec. 10th to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, only available on PlayStation 5 as part of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition!

The new suits Peter can wear in the game are the red, blue, and gold Iron Spider suit, and the brand new black and gold suit as seen in the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailers. Take a look at the suits below.

It's worth noting the suits will only be available for Spider-Man Remastered players, which is the upgraded PS5 version of 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man. The game is only available through the Spider-Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition, which includes both games so far in Insomniac's Spider-Man series.

This isn't the first crossover Spider-Man PS4 is getting with the Spidey movies. Spider-Man on PS4 got the highly-requested Sam Raimi suit as free DLC, while Miles Morales players were able to swing around New York like the Into the Spider-Verse version of Miles.

If you still haven't jumped into Insomniac's Spider-Man games, Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man Miles Morales are both on IGN's list of the best PS5 games. And, now is a great time to try them out, because we know the series will continue both Miles and Peter's stories in 2023's Spider-Man 2.

As for No Way Home, we're less than two weeks away from the release of the highly-anticipated Spidey flick. We just got a look at new posters featuring classic Spider-Man villains. The hype is clearly high for the film, as ticket presales are the biggest since Avengers: Endgame.

After a 20-year hiatus from the last issue of the comic book series, Battle Chasers is making its long-awaited return with new chapters of the comic, as well as a new, live-action TV series.

Deadline has revealed that John Wick creator Derek Kolstad is working on a new Battle Chasers TV show for Alcon Entertainment.

“As a storyteller — as well as a super fan of unapologetic and unrelenting action — I can’t wait for people to feel as giddy as I did when I first laid eyes on Battle Chasers,” he said. “The world which Joe has created here, coupled with the characters therein, is both unique and yet familiar. Adapting this for the small screen is gonna’ be a jon.”

The new series is being written by Kolstad and will be based on the Battle Chasers comic books. Kolstad and Alcon Entertainment co-founders Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will serve as executive producers, with Alcon Television Group’s Ben Roberts. Hitman's Adrian Askarieh is also exec producing through his Prime Universe banner.

“I connected deeply to this material twenty years ago when I first picked up the Joe’s comic book and so to be part of bringing this exciting material to a new audience is thrilling to say the least,” said Roberts.

Battle Chasers is an ‘arcanepunk’ story following five heroes – Garrison, a heartbroken swordsman; Red Monika, a bounty hunter and rogue; Knolan, a powerful, 500-year-old wizard; Calibretto, a mild-mannered war golem’ and Gully, a 10-year-old girl in search of her missing father.

Originally created by comic book artist Joe Madureira, Battle Chasers launched in 1998 with new issues often taking up to 16 months to materialise. Ending with issue #9, the series has long been on hold despite featuring a cliffhanger ending which was never concluded.

Issue #10 (originally scheduled for October 2001) was never released, with Madureira leaving the comic book industry to pursue a career in video game development.

Despite this, the series has gained plenty of fans, with Madureira recently confirming that the missing issue #10 is still on its way, 20 years later.

“[Battle Chasers] 10 is art complete (32 hefty pages),” he said via Twitter. “And @ludolullabi is making great progress on #11. Which means we'll be able to confidently announce a date soon. Ruined King took much longer than we planned (check out Ludo's amazing work there too) but we are back on track!”

Battle Chasers may be best known recently not for its comic book history, but for its move into video games. Battle Chasers: Nightwar was released in 2017, and IGN said about it that the game “scratches the JRPG itch, even if the storytelling and character development leave a fair bit to be desired.”

The most iconic Spider-Man line may find its way into the MCU just yet.

During a press junket ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home, IGN asked producer Amy Pascal whether audiences would hear the “With great power comes great responsibility” line in Spider-Man: No Way Home or in future Spider-Man films.

Pascal grinned and teased that audiences “will have to come see the movie.” Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige chimed in, “How long you’re gonna have to wait, we’ll see,” before Pascal continued with “not too long”.

Pascal mentioned in an interview with Fandango that “this is not the last movie we are going to make with Marvel”, which only muddies the chances that the words will be said in No Way Home.

This response does offer the possibility that it may even be mentioned in the Spider-Man: Freshman Year animated series that was recently announced for Disney+, which will be a prequel series for the MCU Peter Parker before he became Spider-Man. Freshman Year will be written by executive producer Jeff Trammel.

When audiences first meet Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Peter Parker (Tom Holland) in Captain America: Civil War, he is only living with his widowed Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) and has been Spider-Man for six months. A remix of the line was uttered by Holland's Parker at the time.

Understandably, two film franchises already featured Peter Parker’s fateful origin story of the famous web-slinger, this third franchise decided to skip all that. That means that there is no official Uncle Ben in the MCU.

With Spider-Man: No Way Home premiering on December 17, 2021, the third installment of the Spider-Man movies starring Tom Holland, directed by Jon Watts, and co-produced by Disney and Sony studios,

Destin Daniel Cretton will be returning to write and direct Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sequel as part of a new deal with Marvel Studios.

Deadline reports that the filmmaker has inked new multi-year deal with Marvel Studios and Hulu's Onyx Collective, which includes a new MCU television series for Disney+. Little is known about the upcoming television series, but Variety reports that it will be a comedy.

Cretton previously worked on projects including Just Mercy and The Shack before joining the MCU for Shang-Chi. Shang-Chi was a successful debut for the MCU's latest hero, portrayed by Simu Liu, earning more than $400 million in the global box office.

In our Shang-Chi review, we wrote, "Director Destin Daniel Cretton skillfully connects Shang-Chi’s personal stakes with the larger MCU by way of an emotionally complex villain, a stellar cast with fantastic chemistry, and incredible action sequences."

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is now available on blu-ray. You can see why Shang-Chi wears Air Jordans here, as well as every upcoming movie and TV show in the MCU.
