We've gotten the first trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and heard Chris Pratt's new take on the iconic plumber's voice.

Revealed in a Nintendo Direct (and New York Comic-Con panel) today, the trailer begins with a look at a floating Bowser island making its way to a penguin kingdom, before Kamek introduces Jack Black's Bowser. The penguins attempt to fight by throwing snowballs at the Koopas and Bowser, before the King Koopa destroys the gate to the city to find one of the franchise's iconic Super Stars.

We then cut to Mario, who gets shot out of a warp pipe into the Mushroom Kingdom, where he's greeted by Keegan-Michael Key's Toad. Pratt's Mario doesn't say much, besides "What is this place?" and "Mushroom Kingdom here we come!", but those two lines do mark our first time hearing Pratt's take on Mario. The trailer ends with a quick shot of Luigi getting chased by a group of Dry Bones.

It's the first time we've heard the "updated" voice Chris Pratt adopted for the movie. The voice has been a source of much conversation since the movie was announced, with producer Chris Meledandri saying that "criticism will evaporate" when people hear it – although he did caveat that by saying, "maybe not entirely — people love to voice opinions, as they should.”

Originally announced back in 2018, Super Mario: The Movie is being produced by Nintendo and Illumination. The film would resurface again during the September 2021 Nintendo Direct, where Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto announced the film's cast.

Joining Chris Pratt, the cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. It'll be a while until we see this all-star cast take their best shot at Nintendo's iconic characters, as Illumination and Nintendo delayed the movie to April 2023.

DC Comics kicked off New York Comic-Con with a first look at Lazarus Planet, a new crossover spinning out of Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar's Batman vs. Robin series.

Announced at the "Exploring the DC Multiverse" panel, Lazarus Planet explores the aftermath of a massive volcanic eruption, with the Lazarus Volcano blanketing Earth's atmosphere in the same dangerous chemicals that have kept Ra's al Ghul alive all these centuries. A number of DC's heroes will be exposed to this airborne Lazarus, resulting in them gaining new or enhanced powers. The tagline for the crossover is "Heroes Transformed. Secrets Revealed. Powers Unleashed."

For example, Batman will bond with the Helmet of Fate and become the new Doctor Fate. Because, as we all know, Batman isn't powerful enough. Jon Kent will go through his own version of his father's infamous Electric Blue Superman phase. And Martian Manhunter will be mentally bonded to a nest of Doomsdays, transforming him into a rampaging beast.

Waid is serving as showrunner of the crossover, overseeing a rotating lineup of creators that includes Riccardo Federici, Gene Luen Yang, Billy Tan, Skylar Patridge, Francis Manapul, Dan Watters, Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Josie Campbell. Even Supergirl actress Nicole Maines is coming back to DC following her contribution to Superman: Son of Kal-El, signifying the importance her character Dreamer will play in the story. Monkey Prince fans should also look to this new DC hero having a critical role in the crossover.

After Batman vs. Robin #4 tees up the crossover, Lazarus Planet will unfold in a series of one-shot specials published weekly in January and February 2023. Here's the full list of books involved:

• Lazarus Planet: Alpha (1/10)
• Lazarus Planet: Assault on Krypton (1/17)
• Lazarus Planet: We Once Were Gods (1/24)
• Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn (1/31)
• Lazarus Planet: Next Evolution (2/7)
• Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate (2/14)
• Lazarus Planet: Omega (2/21)

Avatar 4 won't hit theaters until December 18, 2026, but apparently, the film's first act is already in the can.

During the Busan International Film Festival (via Variety), Avatar series producer Jon Landau explained where production is at for the distant sequel.

“We’ve completed most of the first act of Avatar 4 and there were logistical reasons why we needed to do that,” Landau said. “We’ve designed most of the whole movie for Avatar 4 but we haven’t actually filmed all of it – just the first act.”

The producer also teased minor details about the upcoming Avatar sequels, saying that each movie will introduce a new culture while also revisiting the cultures from the previous movies.

We've known for a while that Avatar 2, 3, and 4 were all being developed simultaneously, and Avatar 3 was close to finishing shooting when Avatar 2 wrapped up.

With 2026 still a long way away, we don't know much about the details of Avatar 4, apart from the fact that it will cost a ton of money to produce. This past summer, we learned that James Cameron might not direct Avatar 4 and 5, because the filmmaker has some other projects he'd like to focus on.

The crowd in attendance at the film festival also got to see 15 minutes of footage for the upcoming Avatar: The Way of Water, which is coming to theaters on December 14. The movie will follow Jake Sully and his newfound family on Pandora.

If you're doubting the return of Avatar fever, the first teaser for the movie arrived this year, and it had an absolutely enormous first 24 hours online.

For months, fans have speculated that Eiza Gonzalez had been cast as Elektra in Daredevil: Born Again. Yesterday, however, Gonzalez put an end to these rumors and addressed the hate she had received over the suspected casting decision.

In a few Tweets yesterday, Gonzalez clarified that she's not playing Elektra in Daredevil. She also asked fans to stop harassing her over the role, saying she'd like to "live free of negative ill-intended messages about me playing/stealing? a role I don't even know about."

I feel like I’m just gonna get it out of the way because, One I’m confused as for the amount of hate over this and two I feel like it saves people energy. No I’m not cast as Elektra in Daredevil I have already a on going series exclusivity contract to 3 Body Problem. Ur welcome

— Eiza Gonzalez Reyna (@eizamusica) October 5, 2022

Id appreciate if I could live free of negative ill intended messages about me playing/stealing? a role that I don’t even know about. Thank you and wishing you all the best ❤️

— Eiza Gonzalez Reyna (@eizamusica) October 5, 2022

As pointed out by Variety, Gonzalez had been rumored to have the role since before July's San Diego Comic-Con. Some fans complained about the rumored casting decision — in the comic books, Elektra is Greek, but Gonzalez is Latina, which led some fans to accuse her of "stealing" the role.

Gonzalez mentioned that she's instead starring in Netflix's upcoming The Three-Body Problem with an exclusivity contract, which makes the rumored Daredevil casting impossible.

Despite the hate she received, Gonzalez ended her string of Tweets by sending the actual cast of Daredevil some kind words.

Daredevil: Born Again is slated to release in 2024. While not much else is known about the Disney+ Marvel series, during D23, star Charlie Cox revealed that it won't continue where the Daredevil Netflix series left off. The show will start filming next year and will have 18 episodes.

Daredevil also made his costumed debut in this week's episode of She-Hulk.

Valve has officially opened up orders for its official Steam Deck docking station.

The Steam page for the official docking station lists the accessory for $89 with an estimated delivery date of 1-2 weeks. The official Steam Deck docking station features three USB 3.1 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a Gigabit Ethernet jack.

This is not the only docking station available for the Steam Deck, as third-party makers like JSAUX and iVoler released similar accessories for Valve's portable gaming PC at a retail price cheaper than what Valve is asking for.

The docking station was originally supposed to release back earlier this year. But in June, Valve delayed the release of the docking station to an undisclosed release window, citing a shortage of parts along with COVID-related closures at its manufacturing facilities as reasons.

PlatinumGames says that it is sorry about the impending shutdown of Babylon's Fall’s servers, but also notes that it will not impact any future live-service plans.

In an interview with VGC, PlatinumGames CEO Atsushi Inaba said, “The only thing we can comment on here in terms of the closure of Babylon’s Fall service itself, is that this unfortunate conclusion might have been something that had triggered some disappointment, perhaps maybe even anger, to our dedicated fans and players.”

He continued, “And any disappointment that we might have caused for our fan base is something we feel extremely sorry about, the fact that we led our dedicated fans to feel that way as a developer. Providing any sentiment other than enjoyment and fun in our creations to players is something that we’re not very happy about at all as a developer.”

Inaba, unfortunately, was unable to go into any specifics about Babylon's Fall’s shutdown, noting that it was up to Square Enix to divulge any further details about it.

However, despite the game's failure, PlatinumGames still wants to invest in live-service games. “There’s a lot that we learned from this experience, and it’s not changed our future plans or outlook moving forward regarding doing live service games at all. Live service games are definitely something we do want to do and put our effort in moving forward,” Inaba explains.

He further explains that live service games have two pillars: the fun gameplay mechanics and the live service elements. Both need to be strongly aligned in order to create a good experience.

He concludes, “Otherwise, if one of these is valued over the other or if they’re not connected, things usually don’t turn out the way we would have wanted them to. We want to focus on keeping that connection and that balance between those two pillars moving forward.”

Babylon’s Fall was released earlier this year in February to negative reviews, and the studio recently announced that the online servers would close a year later on February 28, 2023.

Google just wrapped its big hardware event to finally give us the full reveal of the Pixel Watch, the company's first-ever self-made wearable. The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were also announced with much fanfare around their enhanced cameras and new styling. And the Pixel Tablet made a surprise appearance with its new functionality as a smart home hub. If you missed the big event, here's everything Google announced today.

Google Pixel Watch

Google kicked off the show by introducing the Google Pixel Watch, the company's first-ever wearable. The Pixel Watch features a round watch face, unlike the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra's squircle-shaped screen. It also features a unique band attachment mechanism without any visible lugs. Instead, you attach the watch band to the top and bottom of the wearable and rotate it to lock it in place, similar to how a camera lens attaches to a camera body.

The Pixel Watch also brings deep Fitbit integration to track your workouts and health data. Google claims it will deliver the most accurate once-per-second heart rate tracking yet. Plus, it features 40 exercise modes and a built-in GPS. For sleep tracking, you'll be able to see your sleep score and stages, and there's an ECG app that can detect signs of Atrial Fibrillation.

The Google Pixel Watch comes in a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi or 4G LTE model priced at $349 and $399, respectively. It also includes six months of Fitbit Premium and three months of YouTube Music Premium. The Google Pixel Watch is available for preorder today and will arrive on October 13.

Google Pixel 7

The Google Pixel 7 is here, and it looks classier than ever with a sophisticated and durable aluminum chassis. It features a slightly smaller 6.3-inch, 1080p display compared to the Pixel 6's 6.4-inch screen, but it also has slimmer bezels. According to Google, the 90Hz display on this new phone is also 25% brighter.

As for internal power, this phone comes rocking Google's new Tensor G2 processor with 8GB of RAM. That new processor helps power faster computations, halving the time it takes to shoot Night Sight photos. Additionally, there are new camera tricks like face unblur and Cinematic Blur in video mode.

The Pixel 7 also has a slightly smaller capacity battery, but it promises 24-hour battery life and 48 hours of usage with Extreme Battery Saver. 30W charging is also supported over wired and wireless.

As for cameras, the Pixel 7 still features a 50-megapixel camera, but no you can use a 2x zoom mode that digitally crops in using the 12-megapixels at the center of the sensor. The selfie camera on the Pixel 7 has also been upgraded to a 10.8 sensor, the same one found in the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro.

The Pixel 7 is available for preorder now for $599, and it will arrive on October 13.

Google Pixel 7 Pro

The Pixel 7 Pro has seen quite a lot of changes, especially on the camera front. Like the Pixel 7, the Pixel 7 Pro features the same main 50MP camera with the added 2x digital zoom trick. The telephoto has been upgraded to 5x optical zoom, and the 48MP sensor can digitally zoom up to 10x. What's more, you can combine the digital zoom capabilities of both cameras for up to 30x telephoto. Additionally, the ultrawide camera features an even wider 125-degree field of view, plus autofocus and macro-mode shooting.

Also similar to the Pixel 7, the Pixel 7 Pro features a 0.1-inch shorter display to make this 6.7-inch device a little less thick. The display features a 3120 x 1440 OLED panel with a maximum 120Hz refresh rate. The Pixel 7 Pro also features the new Tensor G2 chip plus a bit more memory at 12GB. As for the battery, the Pixel 7 Pro offers 5000 mAh of capacity, which Google claims will offer a 24-hour battery life.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro is available for preorder starting at $899 and will ship on October 13.

Google Pixel Tablet

The Google Pixel Tablet popped up during the latest Made By Google event. There's still no new information about screen size or many other internal specs other than it currently runs a Tensor G2 processor. However, we got to see how it can magnetically attach to a speaker base and become a Nest Hub. Google also revealed the Pixel Tablet will come in two colors; off-white and olive green. Google once again confirmed the Pixel Tablet will arrive in 2023.
