It’s time to set your parental controls – Deadpool, and Logan are heading to Disney Plus.

Although not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe just yet, Deadpool and Wolverine are making their Disney Plus debut as Marvel puts all its eggs in one basket.

After Disney purchased 20th Century Fox back in 2019, it was only a matter of time… now, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan will appear on Disney Plus in the US on July 22, 2022.

Deadpool tells the story of Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) – a former special ops soldier who becomes a mercenary after being subjected to a rogue experiment… the same one that created Wolverine.

Brought to the big screen thanks to Reynolds himself, it was a major hit for Fox. Deadpool 2 follows the story with a time-traveling tale that introduces some of the coolest X-Men characters to the big screen.

Meanwhile, Logan brings a stirring end to Hugh Jackman’s run as Wolverine – the tale of an older, grizzled Wolverine who comes out of hiding to help a girl with extraordinary powers. The addition of these 18-rated films to Disney Plus is a bold move… but not unexpected.

The films have long been available on other streaming services, but now Marvel’s dedicated brand page on the Disney Plus service will be the home to one of the biggest Marvel collections online. It remains to be seen which other Fox/Marvel movies will head to the service.

Hilariously, Disney is even offering free chimichangas to celebrate.

“Fans heading to San Diego Comic-Con can pick up a free mini chimichanga, a.k.a. Deadpool’s favorite word to say, while supplies last,” read the official announcement. “Disney+’s Deadpool chimichanga truck will be available at Seaport Village at the corner of Kettner and S Embarcadero in San Diego from 12-5pm PT on Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23.”

Top Gun: Maverick has made more at the US box office than The Avengers.

The film may have debuted almost two months ago, but after another lucrative weekend, the recent Top Gun sequel has managed to surpass Marvel’s first superhero team-up.

Earning a staggering $623.8 million domestic, Top Gun: Maverick has become the ninth highest-grossing film of all time in the US (not accounting for inflation). It would have to make $653 million to pass the next title on the list, Jurassic World.

Starring Tom Cruise, Top Gun: Maverick takes place decades after the events of the first film. The highly-anticipated sequel sees the return of iconic pilot, Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Returning to the Top Gun school for one last mission, it looks as though Mav will put all his skills to the test as he teaches a new Top Gun class how to fly.

Of course, it had already done incredibly well at the box office – becoming Tom Cruise’s highest-grossing blockbuster ever - not to mention earning its place as Paramount’s highest-grossing film of all time.

And with the re-release of the film’s IMAX version last month, Top Gun: Maverick managed to climb even higher, topping the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office. In fact, Top Gun: Maverick has earned a massive $1.24 billion to date.

The film has benefitted from a huge following online where it proved to be highly popular upon its release. Rave reviews and a long box office run have helped the film earn its place among the heavy hitters.

IGN’s own review says that “Top Gun: Maverick is an out-of-bounds blast of afterburner fumes and thrillseeker highs that's sure to please audiences looking for a classic summer blockbuster. Director Joseph Kosinski doesn't lose the ‘80s nostalgia of movies that were light on reason and huge on chest-beating heroism. The fresh graduate faces are all aces, fighter jet choreography exceptional, and pursuit of excitement at Mach levels.”

Whether Top Gun: Maverick will continue its ascent remains to be seen, but it’s unlikely at this point that the sequel will break into America’s top six, which are currently: Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.6 million), Avengers: Endgame ($858.3 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($804.7 million), Avatar ($760 million), Black Panther ($700 million) and Avengers: Infinity War ($678 million).

Top Gun: Maverick stars Tom Cruise as Maverick alongside Val Kilmer, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Monica Barbaro, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Ed Harris, Danny Ramirez, Manny Jacinto, and Greg Tarzan Davis.

Joseph Kosinski directed the film based on a script by Christopher McQuarrie, Ehren Kruger, and Eric Warren Singer.

Ubisoft has announced that its upcoming first-person open world adventure, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has been delayed to April 2023 at the earliest.

Revealed as part of Ubisoft's Q1 earnings report, the game was delayed into Ubisoft's 2023-24 financial year, which begins next April. No more specific release timeframe was given.

After an announcement in 2017 and a reveal in 2021, we've heard remarkably little about the project - meaning many won't be too surprised by the delay. Developed by The Division developer, Massive, the project was apparently impressive enough to convince Disney to let them make a Star Wars game, too.

No reasoning was given for the delay. Ubisoft did say, "We are committed to delivering a cutting-edge immersive experience that takes full advantage of next-gen technology, as this amazing global entertainment brand represents a major multi-year opportunity for Ubisoft."

"While this additional development time is a reflection of the current ongoing constraints on productions across the industry," it continued, "we are hard at work to design the most efficient working conditions to ensure both flexibility for our teams as well as strong productivity while delivering the best experiences to players."

Update: Speaking at an earnings Q&A, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said the game had been delayed, "due to the fact that working conditions are more difficult in the industry at the moment, where people can't come to the office as often. That's had an impact, and it was the biggest impact."

The company also confirmed that a "smaller unannounced premium game" had also been delayed out of this financial year and into the next. It joins a huge list of games delayed out of 2022 and into 2023 - primarily due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Influential Batman and Judge Dredd writer Alan Grant has died, aged 73.

The acclaimed comic book writer, who also created several DC supervillains including Anarky, The Ratcatcher, and The Ventriloquist, and had several high-profile runs on both Batman and 2000 AD.

His wife Susan Grant announced his death via Facebook, but no cause of death has been revealed. “I have no words,” she said. “Alan died this morning.”

Very sad to learn that writer Alan Grant has passed away. His Batman work was must-read for young me. RIP, sir, and condolences to his friends, family, and his many fans. https://t.co/PtRMYrLUwm

Tributes to Grant have poured in from across the comic book fraternity, with those who worked with Grant praising his ingenuity and influence.

“Everyone at 2000 AD and Rebellion is devastated to hear of the passing of Alan Grant,” said an official statement from the comic book publisher. “Grant was one of his generation’s finest writers, combining a sharp eye for dialogue and political satire with a deep empathy that made his characters seem incredibly human and rounded. Through his work, he had a profound and enduring influence on 2000 AD and on the comics industry.”

Grant was renowned for his skewering satire during his time at 2000 AD, teaming up with John Wagner on Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog throughout the 1980s.

The duo soon went on to work for DC Comics, writing Batman stories in Detective Comics from 1988.

“Horribly saddened to hear of the passing of Alan Grant,” said fellow Batman writer, Tom King. “Lobo, LEGION, Batman—these books questioned what superhero comics could be and do: they were sharply, cooly cynical and yet oddly—and wonderfully—they contained a powerful, warm undercurrent of hope. Hell of a writer. RIP.”

Grant was born in Bristol but raised in Midlothian and eventually settled in Moniaive, Dumfriesshire with his wife.

Throughout his long career, Grant worked on some of the biggest titles in comic book history but is also credited for going out of his way to nurture new talent.

He was even credited for starting the career of an unknown writer, Alan Moore, whose script he found amid the unsolicited submissions pile at 2000 AD.

“I got a brilliant letter back from Alan Grant,” Moore recalled. “He went out of his way to encourage people who he thought had talent.”

IGN sends its condolences to Grant's family and friends.

Virtual pet creation website Neopets has been hacked, potentially compromising up to 69 million accounts.

As reported by Polygon, the data breach was first reported by community site JellyNeo on July 20, with the official Neopets Twitter subsequently posting an announcement and warning (below) that recommends users change their password on Neopets and any other website where the same login information is used.

"Neopets recently became aware that customer data may have been stolen," the post said. "It appears that email addresses and passwords used to access Neopets accounts may have been affected."

It added: "As our investigation continues, we will update you as appropriate. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding at this time."

Neopets recently became aware that customer data may have been stolen. We immediately launched an investigation assisted by a leading forensics firm. We are also engaging law enforcement and enhancing the protections for our systems and our user data. (1/3)

— neopets (@Neopets) July 21, 2022

Immediately following the breach, the development team said, it launched an investigation with help from a leading forensics firm, notified law enforcement, and upgraded its system and data protection. The full extent of the breach is currently unclear and the Neopets team is yet to confirm whether or not users' credit card information has also been compromised.

The hacker allegedly offered to sell the full database and source code according to JellyNeo, for a price of four Bitcoin (around $90,000). They also offered live access to the database for an additional fee.
