It’s here – our first look at John Wick: Chapter 4 has just been revealed.

Keanu Reeves stars in the upcoming John Wick sequel as the titular hitman and all-round badass, and now we’ve got our first look at the movie thanks to a brand-new image.

Depicting John Wick amid a blur of candles with his head bowed, it’s a solemn, almost religious look for the not-quite-retired assassin.

Of course, Wick was last seen in the critically-acclaimed John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum which saw the rogue assassin become “incommunicado”. But by the end of the movie, allegiances have been tested… with The Continental and Winston assuming their neutral status once more, after the possible betrayal of Wick. Thankfully, Wick finds himself rescued by none other than the Bowery King.

But did Winston pull his shot on purpose? And did he actually save John’s life?

There are a lot of questions left to be answered, and it looks as though John Wick himself will be paying penance for his crimes against the High Table. Or perhaps he’s just confessing for the kills he’s about to commit.

Unfortunately, this first look offers little in the way of clues, and it’s going to be a while before we get any answers. After all, John Wick 4 has been pushed back until early 2023, currently set to debut on March 24, 2023.

That said, the film’s title has already been teased by actor Shamier Anderson, who referred to the film as “John Wick: Chapter 4 – Hagakure”.

Quite how the ways of the samurai will tie into this altogether religious-looking still remains to be seen. But co-star Laurence Fishburne recently explained that the sequel will delve deeper into the code of the assassin.

It certainly looks as though Wick is taking an altogether more contemplative stance in the upcoming sequel.

Still, I’m guessing we can expect a bit of action, too. It is John Wick, after all.

John Wick Chapter 4 will star Keanu Reeves as John Wick alongside Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Donnie Yen, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Clancy Brown, Marko Zaror, Bill Skarsgård, and Scott Adkins.

Chad Stahelski directed the film based on a script by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.

Not only is Ubisoft delaying Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and another unannounced game, but it's also apparently flat-out canceling four whole titles in an attempt to cut costs and focus on its bigger names. Among those canceled games are both Ghost Recon Frontline and Splinter Cell VR.

Ghost Recon Frontline's cancellation is a bit surprising, given that the game wasn't even actually out yet. It was first announced back in October as a free-to-play battle royale spin-off with 102-player battles. Initial reception was fairly negative, though, and a planned closed test of the game was indefinitely postponed. Now it seems like we'll never see it again.

Splinter Cell VR is a bit less shocking. It was first announced way back in 2020 alongside an Assassin's Creed VR game, but hasn't been heard from since. The Assassin's Creed game still seems to exist, according to some leaked menu footage from this past April that indicated it would be called "Nexus" and was coming to the Quest 2.

Meanwhile, two other unannounced games have also been completely canceled according to CFO Frederick Duguet, who said that all four cancellations were part of the company's wider strategy of putting "even more focus on our biggest development opportunities."

For Splinter Cell fans, that just leaves the announced Splinter Cell remake in development at Ubisoft Toronto. Cancellations aside, Ubisoft has been a major culprit of game delays lately, including the Prince of Persia remake, Roller Champions (which did make it out earlier this year) and Skull & Bones (out this fall, hopefully). They aren't alone, though - 2022 has been a massive year for delays, in part due to the delayed impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on production.

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).

Read more about Top Gun: Maverick with our explainer of Top Gun: Maverick's ending, a US Navy fighter pilot reacting to Top Gun, and the top 10 aerial dogfights of all time.

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.
