With MCU's Phase 4 representing a huge turning point for the decade plus-long franchise, as a few torches are being passed to the heroes who will carry the 'verse for years to come (Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, Tatiana Maslany's She-Hulk, continued rumors about Hailee Steinfeld playing Kate Bishop, etc), one character everyone is eyeing right out of the gate is Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, who will be retroactively set up as the new Black Widow when the movie finally premieres. Talking to GamesRader, Pugh spoke about her potential future in the MCU and if she'd be the headliner in a Black Widow 2 movie. "If you get asked to be in a Marvel film, and it was so thrilling and fun and exciting to be in, then of course, your head goes: ‘Oh my God. If this is what it’s like, then what else is next?'" she said. "If that happens and I am lucky enough that people appreciate my character, that’s an exciting road to go on. I would be silly to not be excited by it." "I think that being part of the Marvel club is a great honor," she added. "But we’ll just see if people like Yelena first." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvels-black-widow-every-actor-and-character-in-the-film&captions=true"] As of now, Marvel's Black Widow is set to be release November 6 in the U.S, though it's looking increasingly likely that it will be delayed again, perhaps into 2021. Star Scarlett Johansson has said the movie will offer resolution for fans after the character's death in Avengers: Endgame, and said she approved of the way her story ended. Johannson also spoke about "handing the baton" to Pugh and to the character of Yelena Belova. Taking place in between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Black Widow will focus on wrapping up Natasha's MCU story arc. Alongside Johansson and Pugh, Black Widow features David Harbour (Stranger Things) as Red Guardian and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy) as Melina.

Sony has revealed the first estimated file sizes for PlayStation 5's Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls, and they could take up to 20% of your PS5's SSD. These file sizes were revealed on the PlayStation Direct website where you can buy PlayStation consoles, games, and accessories right from Sony. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Launch Edition will require at least 50 GB, while the Ultimate Launch Edition will need at least 105 GB of space as it also includes a remastered version of 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/spider-man-miles-morales-gameplay-trailer"] Demon's Souls, which is a remake of the 2009 PlayStation 3 game, will need 66 GB of space. If you were to purchase both Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition and Demon's Souls digitally, you will need 171 GB of storage. This is important to know, especially for those who wish to go all digital with the PS5 Digital Edition. These launch consoles have 825 GB, so these games, assuming the sizes don't change, will take up 20% of the SSD by themselves. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/demons-souls-remake-gameplay-trailer"] Sony's first party games Astro's Playroom, Destruction All Stars, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure will also be available at PS5's launch, and that doesn't even include other third-party titles like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion, and Destiny 2: Beyond Light. Oh, and a backwards compatible Cyberpunk 2077 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be out within the first week of PS5's launch, and we already know how high Call of Duty's file sizes can get. PlayStation 5 will be released on November 12, 2020, and if you are still looking to get a preorder, make sure to check out our PS5 preorder guide and follow IGNDeals on Twitter to get up-to-the-minute updates on when they go live again.

Following the PlayStation's 5 frustrating preorder process, Sony has apologized and has promised that more will be available to preorder in the next few days and that more will be available "through the end of the year." PlayStation took to to Twitter to share the message, saying the "PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother." "Let's be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother," PlayStation said. "We truly apologize for that. Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder - retailers will share more details. And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/18/ps5-prices-come-out-swinging"] Pre-orders, according to Sony, were supposed to begin the day after the PS5 Showcase that revealed the price and release date of the PlayStation 5 alongside Final Fantasy 16, the sequel to 2018's God of War, Hogwarts Legacy, and much more. However, retailers began pre-orders that same night, and websites were crashing and many people were left without one, even though Sony had previously mentioned that PS5 preorders would not be a surprise. Even those who did secure a PS5 preorder weren't 100% sure they would stick, and retailers like Amazon began sending out e-mails saying it may not be able to deliver them to purchasers on the release day of November 12, 2020.

The X-Files-themed Outside In Trusts No One is the seventh volume in the Outside In series of uniquely eclectic critical essay collections on your favorite fictional worlds. When a book contains 156 essays of bewilderingly different styles and approaches, it’s hard to find just one to represent it, but here is just such an excerpt for you to check out! The new book, according to publisher ATB Publishing, celebrates “over 25 years of The X-Files, and nearly 50 years of Kolchak: The Night Stalker.” Kolchak, of course, was the 1970s spiritual antecedent to The X-Files which inspired creator Chris Carter to make his show. More from ATB: “Outside In Trusts No One is a collection of 156 reviews, one for every story of each show. Well, we say ‘reviews,’ but we mean that loosely: Within these pages, you’ll find recipes, union meetings, restaurant ads, time loops, mixtapes, personal ads, a thesis, Venn diagrams, musicals, plays, role-playing games, building-code reports and a color-by-numbers game. Not to mention insightful and thoughtful articles, examining the worlds of shadowy conspiracies, UFOs and monsters of the week from just about every aspect imaginable… and then some!”

Previous volumes of the Outside In series have covered classic and modern Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly. The eighth book, Outside In Wants To Believe, will conclude the examination of the extended X-Files universe in 2021 with the remaining seasons of X-Files not covered in the current volume as well as the spin-offs Millennium, Lone Gunmen, and Harsh Realm. Future volumes already planned will tackle Twin Peaks, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5, and a revisiting of classic Who to celebrate 10 years of the Outside In series.

Outside In Trusts No One will be released on October 13, but pre-orders are open now at www.atbpublishing.com/xfiles. Read on for an excerpt from the book, based on the eighth episode of Season 1, “Ice.” Pre-order you copy of Outside In Trusts No One now at www.atbpublishing.com/xfiles.
