Tom Holland said he regrets not calling Andrew Garfield when he took over as Spider-Man as he would have been "heartbroken" if the same happened to him.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe cast Holland as its iteration of Spider-Man in 2015 when he was 19-years-old, and he told The Hollywood Reporter that, after looking back with a bit of clarity, he should have made the call.

Holland said: "Something I can look back on now with a little bit of clarity and regret is that I never called him when I took over as Spider-Man.

"Had someone said to me after my second movie that I was done and this other kid was taking over, I would’ve been heartbroken. So looking back, I wish I had the chance to make amends with him."

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

Holland was asked about how the reception to Garfield's films changed after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, and he said it was "without question" a source of pride.

It also allowed the two to make those amends Holland mentioned, as he said: "It was not only an opportunity for him to make peace with the character and the studio, but it was also an opportunity for me and him to have this moment where we realize we could share this thing."

Holland added: "The look on his face when he saves Zendaya is totally genuine, and I'm really proud of him. I'm really chuffed that he got this opportunity to win back the world and for people to be reminded that his Spider-Man movies are fantastic and brilliant in their own right."

Commenting in another interview last week, Holland even said he wants to see an Amazing Spider-Man , and Garfield has confirmed he'd return for another film. No Way Home has certainly proved there's still love for Spider-Men of old as it has become Sony's highest-grossing film of all time.

While it's still showing in cinemas, fans waiting for a couch-based viewing of Spider-Man: No Way Home won't have to wait too long as it will arrive on streaming services within the next six months, starting with, not Disney+ or Netflix, but Starz.

IGN said the film was "great", as "Spider-Man: No Way Home bounces from hilarious to hurt with ease as both the darkest and funniest MCU Spider-Man entry to date."

Amazon will show the first teaser trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power during the Super Bowl LVI event this weekend.

As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, the trailer will drop during the big game on Sunday, February 13. This will be our first look at footage from the most expensive TV show every made, and will hopefully show much more than just hands, which is all we got from a recent drop of 20 character posters.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will take place during the Second Age of JRR Tolkien's Middle-earth setting, long before the War of the Ring and the likes of Bilbo and Frodo. The title suggests we'll be looking at the events in which the original rings of power were forged, and the events leading up to Sauron's deception and his creation of the one, master ring which we're all pretty familar with.

For more, take a look at every confirmed actor and character in The Rings of Power, as well as our explainer on the timeline of Middle-earth's Second Age. If you've already seen the first video from the series, which revealed the show's title, then you may also want to look at our behind the scenes video of how the title sequence was made for real using molten metal.

Andor actor Stellan Skarsgård has seemingly confirmed that the upcoming Star Wars Rogue One spinoff series will be getting a second season.

According to Collider, Skarsgård revealed he would be returning to the set of Andor later this year as production is set to get underway on Season 2 of the Disney+ spy thriller. "We start with Dune 2 in July," he reportedly told Swedish news site Dagens Nyheter. "And then in the autumn, it's time for the second season of the Star Wars series Andor."

While The Book of Boba Fett fills in the space between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, Disney Plus' Andor series goes in the other direction. Set before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the prequel series will follow the adventures of Captain Cassian Andor and his band of allies during the early days of the Rebellion.

There's no official release date for the Diego Luna-led Star Wars series yet, but we can apparently expect a late summer debut, similar to that of Ms. Marvel. Alongside Skarsgård and Luna, Andor will star Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Genevieve O'Reilly as Senator Mon Mothma, and Forest Whitaker as resistance fighter Saw Gerrera.

VFX supervisor Neal Scanlan has also hinted that the upcoming twelve-episode series might re-purpose unused characters/creatures from past Star Wars projects but it seems like we will have to wait a little while longer to discover who will pop up in Andor's missions, as Disney Plus' anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series looks set to make its debut before this one.

Editor's Note: The subject of NFTs is currently a very controversial topic in the gaming community. IGN urges community members to be respectful when engaging in conversation around this subject and does not endorse harassment of any kind.

Indie game marketplace Itch.io has called NFTs a "scam", and criticised companies for endorsing them.

In a Twitter thread (below), the company said it had been asked about its stance on NFTs – and didn't hold back:

"NFTs are a scam. If you think they are legitimately useful for anything other than the exploitation of creators, financial scams, and the destruction of the planet the we ask that please reevaluate your life choices."

A few have asked about our stance on NFTs:

NFTs are a scam. If you think they are legitimately useful for anything other than the exploitation of creators, financial scams, and the destruction of the planet the we ask that please reevaluate your life choices.

Peace ✌️

— itch.io (@itchio) February 6, 2022

In a follow-up, the company continued: "F**k any company that says they support creators and also endorses NFTs in any way. They only care about their own profit and the opportunity for wealth above anyone else.

"Especially given the now easily available discourse concerning the problems of NFTs. How can you be so dense?"

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are means of ownership over digital content, but have drawn controversy around their perceived usefulness and environmental impact. They've proved a polarising topic in the gaming industry recently, with a variety of major companies and individuals getting involved – and often retreating after backlash.

Worms creator Team17 recently announced and cancelled an NFT project within 24 hours after fans and partners complained. STALKER 2 developer GSC Game World went one further, cancelling its own NFT plans an hour after announcing them. Voice actor Troy Baker, known for roles in a variety of games including The Last of Us and Uncharted, also recently ventured into NFTs before quickly withdrawing after backlash.

These kinds of backlashes seem to be causing second thoughts for some companies – Battlefield and FIFA publisher EA originally appeared eager to pursue NFTs, but recently backtracked and said it's "not driving hard" in that direction.

However, there is still something of a goldrush in the industry around the divisive tech. Retailer GameStop recently announced that it's launching an NFT marketplace later this year in partnership with blockchain startup called Immutable X. Ubisoft has also moved into the NFT space despite fan outcry, with a company executive even commenting that "gamers don't get it".

Dying Light 2 appears to be off to a strong start, as it has already shambled its way onto Steam's top 25 most-played games of all time with a peak concurrent player count of 274,983.

According to SteamDB, Dying Light 2 - which has greatly outperformed the original Dying Light's all-time peak of 45,876 players - has passed both KHOLAT and Halo Infinite to place 23rd on the list of Steam's most-played games of all time by concurrent players, and it sits behind The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

For comparison, PUBG: Battlegrounds is holding strong onto the #1 spot with an all-time peak of 3,257,248 players. In a distant second sits Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with 1,308,963 players. Additionally, the original Dying Light had an all-time peak of 45,876.

In most cases, the launch of a game will see the highest concurrent player count. However, in the age of live-service games and expansions and more, sometimes games can find a second chance at moving up the list.

In our Dying Light 2 review, we said that it "is an ambitious zombie action adventure that's packed with top-notch parkour, an awesome open world, and every painful bug in the book."

We still have to wait to see how Dying Light 2 has done on consoles, but this is a promising beginning for the game that has already committed to at least five years of DLC.

According to French retailer WTT, Nintendo Switch may soon be getting the Batman: Arkham Collection, which includes Rocksteady's three Batman games - Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight.

As reported by VGC, this listing by WTT is of note as the retailer had previously listed the Switch port of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before it got its official reveal. It's important to remember that this doesn't necessarily confirm that these games are coming, as this could have been a mistake or otherwise, but it should give some hope to those looking to take Batman on the go.

The listing, which is still up as of this writing, has a placeholder date of August 31, 2022, which could hint it may be planned for a summer 2022 release date. Who knows, if this listing does prove to be true, it could be part of Nintendo's currently unannounced first Direct of 2022.

2022 also seems like a great year for these games to finally arrive on Nintendo's latest console. Not only would they help with the wait now that reports have said Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed to 2023, but we are also only about a month away from the theatrical release of Matt Reeves' The Batman.

While the Wii U received a port of Batman: Arkham City, the Switch has yet to get any of Rocksteady's fantastic games. In 2019, we called Batman: The Arkham Series the best comic book video games ever made, saying, "with a fully realized Gotham as your playground, this series nailed the Batman vibe in every way."

The Batman: Arkham Collection was first released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in 2018, and 2022 may be the year it finally arrives on Switch alongside other long-requested ports like Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection.

For more, check out Gotham Knights - WB Games Montreal's next game set in the Batman universe that is set for a 2022 release date. For those unfamiliar, WB Games Montreal also developed Batman: Arkham Origins in 2013, which is also not on the Switch.

Jackass Forever has dethroned Spider-Man: No Way Home at the domestic weekend box office by earning $23 million in ticket sales during its opening weekend.

As reported by Variety, Jackass Forever - which once again brings together Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Danger Ehren, and Preston Lacy and sees them undertaking outrageous stunts that no one should try at home - has more than doubled its production budget of $10 million.

In our Jackass Forever review, we said, "The final chapter in American comedy’s most chaotic saga, Jackass Forever is a hilarious last hurrah for its original crew. An extravagant stunt show filled with more cinematic homages (and more bodily fluids) than ever before, it takes an ill-advised trip down memory lane and raises the stakes in maniacal fashion. Few recent films have been funnier or more delightfully nostalgic."

Spider-Man: No way Home - which had won six of the last seven box office weekends - fell to third place with $9.6 million. No Way Home has now earned $748.9 million at the domestic box office and stands just $11.1 million behind Avatar and becoming the third-biggest domestic release in history.

Worldwide, Spider-Man: No Way Home has reached $1.77 billion and continues to sit at sixth place at the all-time global box office.

Taking second place with $10.1 million was newcomer Moonfall - the sci-fi catastrophe film that stars Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Peña, and Donald Sutherland. Moonfall cost $140 million to produce, so it has a much longer way to go to recoup its costs.

In our Moonfall review, we said, "The big ideas in Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall are presented in the most rote and unimaginative fashion. Instead of disaster that feels like enormous spectacle supported by broad emotions, it plays out like a mechanical re-creation of much better films, some of them by Emmerich himself."

Scream placed fourth with $4.7 million, bringing its four-week domestic total to $68.9 million. Sing 2 rounded out the top five by bringing in another $4.1 million to make its domestic total reach $139.5 million.
