Gaming
PS5
Coding is easier on the PS5 than any previous iteration of the console, according to developers.

Banjo-Kazooie
Developer Yooka-Laylee set the record straight. There is NO Banjo-Kazooie project in the works.
Also, Microsoft didn’t buy them out.

Overwatch
Backward compatible game? Yeah… just the PvP elements though.
Comic Books
X-Force
Black Tom Cassidy is a good guy now?
It seems that is what writer Benjamin Percy and artists Joshua Cassara and Dean White are doing in the new series. It kinda works too!

Tom King
Teasing a Watchmen related project on his twitter…

Batman #82
Wait WHAT? Thomas Wayne is the big foe? Bane is dead? Come on Tom King, you just aren’t going out on top, no matter how hard you try to shock it into existence.

X-Men

Mathew McConaughey is RUMORED to be 2-Face!

Star Wars
Rian Johnson rumored to be out (in spite of recent tweets to the contrary) as the “showrunner” of the next Star Wars trilogy.

Snyder Cut
Jason Momoa said that the Snyder Cut has been finished on Snyder’s own dime… Can this DIE now?

Birds of Prey
Plot leaked after test screenings… Things can still change, but it seems that audiences liked it. Also, there is a weird callout to John Wick… I just don’t know anymore…

Excalibur
That Captain Britain movie might not be happening, because it’s an Excalibur movie.
