It’s official – Charlie Cox will remain the MCU’s Daredevil, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has confirmed. He just won't say when we'll see that return.

During an interview with CinemaBlend, Feige revealed that fan-favourite Charlie Cox will be back as Marvel’s Daredevil:

“If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil,” he said. “Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”

Cox played the blind lawyer-turned-superhero Matt Murdock in the hit Netflix series, Daredevil. But with the series cancelled after a three-season run, it looked as though his time as Daredevil had run out. Now, it looks as though Daredevil will be back.

But where will he appear next? And will his co-stars be along for the ride? Karen Page (played by Deborah Ann-Woll) and Foggy Nelson (played by Elden Henson) helped keep Cox’s Murdock grounded during the hit TV series. And with Vincent D’Onofrio as the big bad Kingpin, you have to wonder whether these guys will show up when Cox eventually returns – especially after hints that Kingpin is back in Hawkeye.

Cox has previously discussed his legacy as Daredevil and doesn’t want to let the fans down.

“You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got,” he explained. “If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons — and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have.”

The rights to Daredevil recently returned to Disney, making an upcoming appearance far more likely. And with rumours that Charlie Cox would be back in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we may see him back as Matt Murdock sooner rather than later.

“It's certainly not with my Daredevil,” Cox said, denying the rumours. “I'm not involved in it. If that's true, it's not with me. It's with another actor.”

Despite those protestations, it looks as though Charlie Cox’s time as the Man Without Fear is far from over. Where we see him next, remains to be seen.

West Side Story director Steven Spielberg has shared the reasoning behind the decision to not subtitle the Spanish dialogue in the film, saying it was out of respect for the language itself.

Speaking to IGN's Simon Cardy, Spielberg said that he chose to not subtitle any of the Spanish "out of respect for the inclusivity of our intentions to hire a totally Lantix cast to play the Sharks' boys and girls."

"That was a mandate that I put down to Cindy Tolan who cast the movie, that I wasn’t going to entertain any auditions that aren't parents or grandparents or themselves from Latinx countries," Spielberg said. "Especially Puerto Rico, we looked a lot in Puerto Rico, we have 20 performers in our film from Puerto Rico or they’re Nuyorican.

"That was very important and that goes hand-in-hand with my reasoning for not subtitling the Spanish. If I subtitled the Spanish I’d simply be doubling down on the English and giving English the power over the Spanish. This was not going to happen in this film, I needed to respect the language enough not to subtitle it."

Spielberg's West Side Story is a new adaptation of the classic musical that was conceived by Jerome Robbins and had its music and lyrics done by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, respectively. It also follows the original West Side Story film from 1961, which starred Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris.

In this new take, Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler star as Tony and Maria and are joined by Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, and Brian d'Arcy James. It also sees the return of Rita Moreno as Valentina.

In our West Side Story review, we said, "Not everything works in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story — how could it, when the 1961 classic is nigh unimpeachable? — but his visual translation of some of the original’s latent ideas makes it a complementary piece. At once rougher and more dazzling, it has tremendous high points that seldom overlap with its predecessor, resulting in a remake that feels both hyper-charged and wholly justified. A true thing of beauty."

West Side Story arrives exclusively in theaters on December 10, 2021.

Leatherface is back as the horror of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre continues with a new movie coming to Netflix on February 18, 2022.

Netflix has revealed a creepy first trailer for the upcoming movie, which just so happens to be a direct sequel to the 1974 horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

“It's pretty hardcore,” director Fede Álvarez told Entertainment Weekly. “But at the same time, it has the simplicity of that first film. We wanted to come up with a very simple premise [with] a powerful domino effect. Everything is set up in the right place — all you have to do is push the first domino and everything will happen effortlessly.”

In 2022, the face of madness returns.

— NetflixFilm (@NetflixFilm) December 4, 2021

Texas Chainsaw Massacre stars Sarah Yarkin, Elsie Fisher, Nell Hudson, and Jacob Latimore as a group of friends who find themselves in unfamiliar territory. And much like the original movie, it has a lot to say about the city vs the country.

Sarah Yarkin plays Melody – a young millennial scouting for the next hot location. Unfortunately, she happens upon the wrong town.

“Me and my business partner Dante (played by Jacob Latimore) are these young hip people that come to this ghost town in Texas and try to get other people to come there and make it the next hip place to be,” said Yarkin. “Our fatal flaw is that we ignore the history that came before us.”

It’s essentially about gentrification – the young hipsters swooping in to turn a country town upside down. And in many ways, this draws parallels to the original movie.

"I think the first movie really hit a nerve when portraying that culture clash between the countryside and the city,” said Álvarez. “Back in the '70s, the hippies were representing the youth of the city. This time, they're more like millennial hipsters from Austin who are very entrepreneurial and have a dream of getting away from the city and back to the countryside. They're trying to gentrify small-town America — and let's just say they encounter some pushback.”

This comes in the form of Leatherface – the iconic chainsaw-swinging killer.

“It's basically the same character, who is still alive," said Álvarez. “Our take on it was this guy probably disappeared after everything he's done. You know, how do you catch a guy who has a mask? Once he removes the mask and runs away, it's very easy for him to hide somewhere.”

Set decades after the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the new film sees Leatherface emerge from hiding, taking on a new group of friends with his signature chainsaw.

Mark Burnham will star as Leatherface, taking over the iconic horror role from the late Gunnar Hansen.

“This story will pick it up many, many years after the original story. He's been in hiding for a long, long time, trying to be a good person,” he added. “These people arriving in this town are going to awaken the giant.”

Over the years, Leatherface has become a horror legend. But despite appearing in numerous films since the 1974 original, the upcoming movie glosses over some of the less well-received Texas Chainsaw sequels.

But it won’t erase them entirely.

“When I say, 'direct sequel' I wouldn't say it skips everything,” explained Álvarez. “When movies do that, sometimes it feels a bit disrespectful to all the other films. Some people love Texas Chainsaw 2. I love a lot of things about that movie — it's so wacky and of its time. But the rest is such a mess canon-wise. I think it's up to you to decide when and how the events of the other movies happen.”

Although Texas Chainsaw Massacre began development in 2020, Netflix only picked up the rights to the upcoming sequel a couple of months ago.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre will debut on Netflix on February 18, 2022.

A brand-new clip of Marvel's Morbius shows Jared Leto's Dr. Michael Morbius transforming into his "sinister alter-ego" and it gives fans a glimpse of how terrifying this anti-hero can truly be.

This clip - which is called "The Transformation" - starts off on a boat with Adria Arjona's Martine Bancroft assisting a rough-looking Morbius after he had been on the search for a cure to his rare blood disease. The scene quickly devolves into chaos when Morbius transforms and starts showing off just how powerful/horrifying he is.

A new poster was also shared for Morbius, and it shows both sides of Jared Leto's character alongside the text, "A new Marvel legend arrives." You can check it out below alongside images from the clip.

Morbius - which is directed by Safe House's Daniel Espinosa - is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on January 28, 2022, and also stars Matt Smith, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson.

We still have many questions left about Morbius, even after the film's second trailer. For one, it is still unclear as to whether the story takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or not. There are signs that point to yes, but then there are others that make it a bit more questionable.

For more, check out our explainer of Morbius - Jared Leto's Spider-Man spin-off character - and Leto's comments on why he chose to take on this vampiric role.

The first teaser for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One) has been revealed ahead of its theatrical debut on October 7, 2022.

This first look was shared on Twitter, and shows Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy meeting after some time apart. We also get a glimpse of Miles fighting Spider-Man 2099 as they fall and travel through different universes. This is also the first we are hearing about this sequel being a "Part One" of a larger story.

EW had an exclusive Q&A with Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One)'s writer-producers Philip Lord and Christopher Miller, and the pair revealed new details on the next adventure of Miles Morales and his friends.

They began by talking about what Miles has been up to since the first film and how he's been trying to "step into big shoes."

"He's been trying to step into big shoes," Lord and Miller said. "Realizing it's not so easy to juggle family and growing as a spider-person, and that it's lonely hiding the truth about yourself from the people you love."

Oscar Isaac's Spider-Man 2099 is seen attacking Miles in this first teaser, and Lord and Miller discussed how he "had one condition of taking the gig: 'Don't make me boring.' He's made a really complex character out of Miguel O'Hara, and he's definitely not boring."

Across the Spider-Verse will see Miles hopping between different universes, and this teaser is "just a taste" of what the team is looking to create. Furthermore, "every dimension looks and feels radically different from all the others. They all look like they were drawn by a different artist."

The pair also confirmed that there will be more "Spider-People" in Across the Spider-Verse, both familiar and new.

"Miles will reunite with some old friends and meet... a lot of new ones," Lord and Miller tease.

Speaking of the Multiverse, Lord and Miller also commented on whether Miles may swing his way to Spider-Man: No Way Home.

"We've seen No Way Home so we would be VERY surprised if Miles showed up. But everyone is part of the Spider-Verse..." Lord and Miller said.

For those worried that there may be any type of limitations on the team making this new film, Lord and Miller shared that, "we're getting to do more or less everything we have ever wanted."

While they wouldn't share any details about the particular scene, Lord and Miller also talked about one of the most memorable moments from recording with the cast, so far.

"Well, it's been a busy year with lots of different projects, and at one point we were recording a very emotional scene with Hailee Steinfeld in one room, while in the next room we were shooting a comedy music video with a bootyquaking sushi chef. Tried to get Hailee to sing backup but... she declined," Lord and Miller said.

For more on all things Spider-Verse, check out the report that Issa Rae has joined the voice cast for the sequel in the role of Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman and the confirmation that Japanese Spider-Man will also be joining the film.

Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8 has come to a close with “The End”, a finale Season 8 event that rocked the island to its core. The Cube Queen’s overwhelming forces dominated the players -all hope was lost. Thankfully, the island was seemingly saved by members of The Seven and The Foundation, who was revealed to be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Fortnite’s “The End” event started out calm enough. Players had fun bouncing around while a large timer counted down, our pending doom juxtaposed by dancing Narutos. All of that changed at the 9-minute mark as Cube Monsters started bleeding into our reality. Armed with legendary weapons and mounted turrets, we easily tore through the first wave of enemies.Then the clock struck zero and all inter-dimensional hell broke loose.

The Cube Queen, seen floating above a pyramid like structure, sent up a beam of light that tore a hole in the sky. Apparently, she had conscripted the Alien armada last seen in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 7. Waves of flying saucers descended on us as giant monsters emerged from several cubed structures. Things weren’t going well.

From here, our focus shifted underground as a cutscene depicts Dr. Slone entering a secret IO base. She and her guards had captured Jones (Jonesy?) for some nefarious purpose; it looked like they were going to either scramble his mind or download important information locked away in his skull. Before Slone could finish though, Jones is saved by The Foundation, who removes his helmet revealing himself to be The Rock.

After that it’s a mad dash to the island’s core. Other members of The Seven help us, the Loopers, meet up with Jones and The Foundation just as a giant Cubed Monster smashes into their pressurized environment. Water comes flooding in and we float to the surface to witness the island tipping on its side. A few seconds later and Cube Queen – who seems to be tethered to her pyramid-like structure – is destroyed by the moving land mass. As the Fortnite’s world literally flips upside down, we see that there is another island on the other side. Fortnite Chapter 3 is here…almost.

Like previous Chapter ending events, Fortnite will be down as Epic Games updates the game. Because of this, fans won’t be able to see what this “new” island has in store until the servers come back up. That said, they’ll have plenty to talk about. Not only was “The End” an entertaining ride, we got to learn more about the mysterious group called The Seven as well as a brief look at Dr. Slone and Jones’ relationship - we knew they were at odds but not necessarily to this extent. An action filled finale, the Rock reveal, and a few bits of Fortnite lore resulted in a grand time for those who participated.

Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 will be starting soon. In the meantime, we’ll be sure to keep you posted with any and all Fortnite related news. That includes sharing our thoughts on the past 15 Major Events in Fortnite, the most recent updates, and more.

Activision Blizzard is currently facing serious ongoing allegations of harassment and mistreatment of marginalized workers. To learn more, please visit our timeline as well as our in-depth report on the subject.

Amidst all the allegations of discrimination and sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard, The Game Awards creator and host Geoff Keighley has confirmed that, beyond its nominations, the company behind such games as Call of Duty, Diablo, and World of Warcraft will not be part of this year's show.

Keighley shared the news on Twitter while also condemning harassment of any kind in the workplace or otherwise.

"#TheGameAwards is a time of celebration for the industry, the biggest form of entertainment in the world," Keighley wrote. "There is no place for abuse, harassment or predatory practices in any company or any community.

"I also realize we have a big platform which can accelerate and inspire change. We are committed to that, but we all need to work together to build a better and a more inclusive environment so everyone feels safe to build the world’s best games.

"All of us are accountable to this standard. Incredible games — and the talented developers who build them — are who we want to celebrate. See you on Thursday."

Keighley took to Twitter as a way to clarify his comments - some of which were paraphrased - that appeared in an interview with The Washington Post earlier this week. He said he was contemplating how to "navigate" Activision Blizzard's involvement in The Game Awards as he "supported people coming forward with their stories but also didn’t want to diminish developers’ opportunities to spotlight their games."

"We want to support employees and developers," Keighley said to The Washington Post. "We have to think carefully about how to proceed here." He also confirmed that Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 would not be part of the show this year.

Keighley's response follows previous comments made by the heads of Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation against what has been happening at Activision Blizzard.

The Game Awards is set to take place on Thursday, December 9 and will start at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET with a Pre-Show. You can catch up on everything else you need to know about the show in our how to watch guide.

We don't know if the reported Chrono Cross Remake is real or not, but if it is, we sure hope it looks like the cinematic trailer for the Chrono Cross and Another Eden crossover event, Complex Dream.

Set to the nostalgic opening theme Time Scar, the trailer shows off Serge, Kit, Harle, and Lynx alongside various Another Eden characters in a tribute to Chrono Cross' original intro movie. It's full of references, including the iconic moment when the camera zooms in on Kid's eye (with Feinne from Another Eden standing in here) and Harle's shot against a full moon.

And dang, they all look good.

Chrono Cross' intro is the kind of video game opening that still impresses even in 2021, but these shiny, high-quality renditions of Serge and crew are an exciting portrait of what could be, especially if that Chrono Cross remaster is indeed real.

While their Another Eden in-game selves have been shrunk down to chibi form, the crossover also comes with new full character art of Serge, Kid, and Harle that's just to die for:

And finally, there's this new piece of promo art, adding a few more familiar faces like Starky, Glenn, and FATE:

Chrono Cross released in 1999 for the PlayStation, and while it's dated in a number of ways, so much of its art and music remain stunning to this day. The art and trailer made for the Another Eden crossover event give a glimpse of what could be, and it's no surprise given that Chrono Cross veterans Masato Kato, Yasunori Mitsuda, and character designer Nobuteru Yuuki were all involved.

Another Eden's Chrono Cross-over is out on December 9, and we spoke to game director Daisuke Takeshima ahead of the announcement about the four-year endeavor to bring Chrono Cross to the mobile JRPG. Only time scars will tell if this is just a teaser for more Chrono things to come.

Engineered Arts, a U.K.-based robotics company, has debuted a humanoid robot named Ameca, and it’s making folks pretty uncomfortable.

In a video posted on Engineered Arts’ Vimeo channel, you can see Ameca “wake up” and observe themselves with realistic human expression. Despite everything from Ameca’s neck down being robotic, their face is made to look very human and the video ends with Amerca staring at the viewer with a smile.

Responses to Ameca have ranged from impressed to horrified for anyone who’s seen an episode of HBO’s Westworld or read any sci-fi novel ever.

On Engineered Arts’ website, the company says Ameca is “the future face of robotics,” and is “the world’s most advanced human shaped robot[.]” Ameca also incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Ameca is being advertised as “a great attraction,” and is modular to allow for “future upgrades, both physically and software to enhance Ameca’s abilities[.]” So if your sci-fi adventure theme park needs a robot with human-like expressions, well Engineered Arts has a product for you.

Jokes aside, robotic technology is fast approaching new levels. It wasn’t so long ago that robots were being asked to pick up objects. Now they know parkour. And if they can look human while doing it, well, maybe the next robotic uprising will be the one in real-life.

And for no reason at all, check out IGN's review of the most recent season of Westworld.
