Movies
Bob Iger
Disney head stepped down on Tuesday AFTER I had already gone to post!
Iger will accept the role of Executive Chairman, for the next year in order to ease the transition to Bob Chapek, former chairman of Disney Parks.
Indiana Jones 5
Stephen Spielberg has stepped down as director. Preferring to be a “very hands-on” producer, and passing the Indiana Jones whip to a new director. That new director? If Disney has their way, it will be James Mangold.

Gaming
Apex Legends
New Deja-Loot mode is set to come out next week in a limited fashion. It is part of the System Override Collection Event. One of the more noteworthy things about this particular mode is that it will be testing out a new shield type called the Evo Shield. This is potentially an incredible addition to the game mechanic, and if embraced by fans, could be introduced into the main game.
Fortnite
Deadpool challenges #3 and 4 now up. Find the milk carton, and then find the chimichangas.
The prize for completing the challenges is a “Ride the Corn” spray.
Resident Evil 3
Capcom has announced that they will be removing live choices and related multiple endings from the game. According to producer Peter Fabiano, that is largely due to the fact that they actually had the time to make the game they wanted to make this time.
Comic Books/Books
Rumor Mill
Wolverine
New rumors pin Henry Cavil’s new comic book role as being Wolverine in Captain Marvel 2. Will THIS be how the Rock gets to battle Cavil? Namor V Wolverine 2024!
Shang-Chi
A NEW rumor says that we might be getting mutants in the MCU even sooner. Wiz Kid is said to be making an appearance in Shang-Chi.
Battlestar Galactica
It sounds like it will be a MOVIE and not a series… though this one sounds like a reboot, and before we heard that it wasn’t. Rumors is rumors I guess. Set to produce, is STILL apparently Red Sparrow and Constantine director Francis Lawrence. Fifty Shades Freed producer Michael De Luca was attached as well and rounding out the list was Lisa Joy, one of the creators of the hit HBO series WestWorld.
Star Wars
Charles Soule’s novel, Light of the Jedi, will not only be the first book from Project Luminous (or The High Republic), but is now being rumored to be the basis for the first movie in the Post (pre?) Skywalker era. With none other than Jodi Whittaker in the lead role as Avar Kriss, who adorns the cover of the book.
The Mummy
Universal is rumored to be remaking the Brenden Frasier movie with Ryan Gosling in the starring role… why???
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
New Serum in the series? This time there is mind control in the juice, and Sam Wilson and Bucky Barns will be declining the role of Cap.
