The third volume of Netflix's Love, Death, and Robots drops tomorrow, and today we're learning voice actor Troy Baker will star in David Fincher's animation directorial debut.

Baker will star in the episode "Bad Travelling", which is based on a short story by Neal Asher. Here's the official description for the episode:

"A jable shark-hunting sailing vessel is attacked by a giant crustacean whose size and intelligence is matched only by its appetite. Mutiny, betrayal and ventriloquism with a corpse… welcome aboard the animation directing debut of David Fincher."

Fincher is the producer of Love, Death, and Robots, but this is his first time in the director's chair for an episode. The filmmaker is known for directing movies like Seven, Fight Club, The Social Network, and more.

Baker, meanwhile, is very much known for his voice acting work in video games. He is the voice of The Last of Us' Joel, Uncharted 4's Sam Drake, and BioShock Infinite's Booker DeWitt, among others. In animation, he has worked on shows including Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, One Piece, and Naruto.

Love, Death, and Robots is an adult animated show on Netflix. Each episode of the series is a standalone story produced by a unique creative team. As the title suggests, each episode handles the subjects of love, death, and robots in various ways.

While you wait for tomorrow's episode drop, you can check out the directors and episode titles for the rest of Love, Death, and Robots season 3. Or, if you're completely new to the series, check out our reviews for season 1 and season 2.

The world has lost another great. Vangelis, the celebrated electronic musician, died Tuesday at the age of 79 according to reports in the Athens News Agency.

Vangelis enjoyed a long and storied career composing music for film and television, as well as original albums. Vangelis also scored the official anthem for the FIFA World Cup in 2002.

Vangelis is perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning score in Chariots of Fire, the iconic theme. He also collaborated with Ridley Scott on his score for the hit sci-fi film Blade Runner which received a BAFTA and Golden Globe nomination.

He was also nominated at the Grammys four times. Once for the Chariots of Fire soundtrack and three times in the new age album category for his solo work. The opening instrumental piece for Chariots of Fire called “Title” even reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

It was his success with the film that led him to score more films and enjoy the mainstream success that came along with it. Even with his contributions to film, he still found time to create his own solo albums and contribute to Greek theater productions, ballets, and nature documentaries.

His contributions to the natural world would continue when his choral symphony "Mythodea" was used by NASA for its 2001 Mars Odyssey mission. He'd later write original music for the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission to Comet 67P. In 2018, he composed an original score for Stephen Hawking's memorial.

Vangelis always had a fascination for space and science. He's quoted as saying, "Mythology, science and space exploration are subjects that have fascinated me since my early childhood. And they were always connected somehow with the music I write."

While his music has been celebrated here, it is even more celebrated in Greece where he's been considered "“a pioneer of electronic sound." His most recent album, Juno to Jupiter, came out in September 2021. Vangelis’s inspiration for the album stayed true to his love of space exploration as it was influenced by NASA’s Juno spacecraft.

A new Daredevil series is in the works at Disney Plus.

According to Variety, Covert Affairs duo Matt Corman and Chris Ord are attached to write and executive produce a series that will once again bring the Man Without Fear into the Marvel fold.

The MCU has already established Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin exist in their universe after the two debuted on Netflix’s street-level Marvel Universe.

Cox reprised his role as Murdock when he was defending Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home and D’Onofrio returned as the villain in Disney Plus’ Hawkeye.

These appearances have gotten fans thinking this is just the beginning for the two as Marvel continues to expand its TV and movie universe. But rather than a new Daredevil series, speculation suggested Cox and D’Onofrio could make more guest appearances in shows like She-Hulk, which centers around the legal world, or Echo, who has a connection to Kingpin.

Daredevil's film and TV history is still fairly new. Ben Affleck played the character in 2003 in a solo movie before Cox stepped into the role in 2015 after Netflix announced a deal with Marvel to produce a series of shows based on The Defenders.

Alongside Cox's Matt Murdock, Netflix also introduced Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Iron Fist (Finn Jones).

These shows were later removed from Netflix but were later re-released on Disney Plus, completely intact without any content censored.

Nearly two years after Lucasfilm Press first teased new comics and novels tied to The Mandalorian, the Disney+ series is finally getting a comic book tie-in. There's just one catch. Marvel's Star Wars: The Mandalorian is an adaptation of the show rather than a new story starring Din Djarin and Grogu.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian is an eight-issue limited series, which presumably means each issue will adapt one episode of The Mandalorian: Season 1. The series is written by Rodney Barnes (Everybody Hates Chris) and drawn by Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8). The creative team also includes inker Karl Story, colorist Rachelle Rosenberg and main cover artist Adi Granov.

You can get a closer look at the first issue of The Mandalorian in the slideshow gallery below:

“The story of the Mandalorian checks so many boxes of the stuff I’m passionate about,” Barnes said to StarWars.com. “I love Westerns, fantasy, science fiction, comedy, drama…it’s a dream gig for any writer. I’m just glad I was chosen for this assignment!”

Marvel has published adaptations of most of Disney's Star Wars films in recent years. However, it appeared Marvel was shifting away from direct Star Wars adaptations, as the planned Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker comic was canceled in 2020. The Mandalorian will be the first Marvel adaptation specifically based on a Star Wars TV series rather than a movie.

Unfortunately, these projects haven't generally fared well with critics, and it remains to be seen if The Mandalorian's episodic format lends itself more easily to comics. IGN's review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi #1 says, "It's not simply that this issue blandly recycles material Star Wars fans have seen before; it's that it delivers such an inferior take on that material. This issue blazes right through the early scenes of the film. The pacing is relentless, never giving readers time to savor a situation or even appreciate the significance of the events unfolding."

Star Wars: The Mandalorian #1 will be released in comic shops and on digital storefronts on Wednesday, July 6. Marvel is also prepping a new limited series called Star Wars: Obi-Wan. This five-issue series will chronicle new Obi-Wan adventures set at five different points in the Jedi Master's life.

We expect both series to be a focus of the "Marvel Star Wars Comics" panel at Star Wars Celebration. The panel is scheduled for 4:30pm on Saturday, May 28, and IGN will be there to report on any announcements made during the panel.

Second Dinner, the independent studio founded by former Hearthstone director Ben Brode, is finally unveiling the mysterious Marvel project it’s been working on for the last few years. It’s called Marvel Snap, and it’s a free-to-play collectible card game and battler published by ByteDance gaming arm Nuverse.

Marvel Snap clearly wears its Hearthstone DNA on its sleeve, right down to the booming voice of Brode showing off mechanics in the official reveal. Its main draw is the brevity of the matches, with the average Marvel Snap game ideally only lasting around three minutes. It accomplishes this by eliminating back-and-forth turns and allowing players to play simultaneously, layering turns on top of one another. It also limits both players to a 12-card deck in a given game.

Games take place across three randomized locations — out of a possible 50 — that can impact strategy. It’s tough to tell from the reveal exactly how gameplay flows or works, but one element described in the reveal is the battle over “cosmic cubes,” where players fight to be the one with the most cubes at the end of the match. Connected to that is the ability to “snap” an opponent to double the cubes at stake.

At launch, Marvel Snap will include over 150 base cards made up of Marvel heroes and villains, including different variants of characters with different art and artists. More cards will be released each month as new seasons roll out, and all cards can be acquired in-game with time without spending any money, though it sounds like microtransactions of some sort will be present given that it’s a free-to-play game. For now, Second Dinner hasn't said exactly which characters will be available at launch, but so far we've seen cards of Cosmo, Captain America, Multiple Man, Shang-chi, Scarlet Witch, The Infinaut, Iceman, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Professor X, White Tiger, Gamora, Hulk, Mysterio, Venom, and a ton more in various screenshots and footage. So we can expect a pretty robust lineup.

Marvel Snap is “mobile first,” but not mobile only, and Second Dinner has plans for an early access on PC to drop simultaneously with its upcoming mobile launch. There’s no official release date just yet, but a beta is said to be coming “soon.”

Second Dinner was announced back in 2019 from Brode and fellow Blizzard veteran Hamilton Chu, who have since been joined by Jomaro Kindred, Yong Woo, and Michael Schweitzer – all also from Blizzard’s Hearthstone team, among other projects. Marvel Snap is being published through a partnership with Marvel and publisher Nuverse, which is the gaming arm of TikTok parent company ByteDance.
