Chadwick Boseman to Star in Action Thriller Produced by the Russo Brothers
Black Panther's Chadwick Boseman will star in a new action thriller from Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
Per Variety, Boseman will produce and star in STXfilm's 17 Bridges, with the Russo brothers producing as well. Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones, Luther) will direct from a screenplay by Adam Mervis (The Philly Kid).
Production will start in September but a release date has not been set yet.
“STX has assembled a dream team of collaborators on 17 Bridges bringing together the global talents behind two of the biggest action films ever made to give audiences a thrilling new take on the race-against-the-clock crime-drama,” STXfilms chairman Adam Fogelson said.
The Culling 2 Is a Stunning Flop You Should Probably Avoid
The Culling 2 unexpectedly launched yesterday, but it's already off to a terrible start. Currently sitting at a measly 13% positive reviews of around 150 total on Steam, it’s one of the worst averages for a follow-up to a well-known game I’ve ever seen. And, frankly, it may deserve it.
The first Culling doesn’t have a sterling review average either, especially after development was officially shut down in December. It currently sits just below 60%, but still managed to gather over 13,000 reviews since its Early Access launch two years ago. It's still early days for The Culling 2, but it isn’t trending toward even a fraction of that success, and may already be dead in the water.

The Culling 2 unexpectedly launched on Tuesday and it's already off to a terrible start. Currently sitting at a measly 12% positive reviews (of around 150 total) and less than ten concurrent players on Steam, it’s one of the worst showings for a follow-up to a well-known game I’ve ever seen. And, frankly, it may deserve it.

We Played Cyberpunk 2020 With Its Creator
After having been thoroughly wowed by CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 demo at E3 2018, we've been eager to dive deeper into its dystopian sci-fi world. To that end, my fellow IGN tabletop fans (read: huge nerds) Cassidee Moser and Casey DeFreitas decided to check out the pen-and-paper RPG on which it was based, Cyberpunk 2020.
Watch our playthrough of Cyberpunk 2020 here!
We were fortunate enough to have Mike Pondsmith (creator and author of Cyberpunk 2020/203X/RED) agree to lead the session, because who better to show off the world of Cyberpunk than the man behind it?

In the pages of The Flash #50 by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Howard Porter, DC Comics have finally answered which Flash is the fastest, Barry Allen or Wally West. Both have a strong connection to the Speed Force and both have operated as the Flash for years, but now we know which one is truly the fastest man alive.
