Henry Cavill Wants to Focus on the ‘Future of Superman’

In a recent press tour for Netflix’s The Witcher series, Henry Cavill revealed that he hasn’t seen the Snyder Cut and doesn’t know if one exists. He further elaborated that he’d love to see the cut if there is one, but would rather focus on the future of Superman instead of the past.

During his interview with Kevin McCarthy, Cavill said, “I have not seen any Snyder Cut – I don’t know if there is anything that exists that is a Snyder Cut. I’m sure there is footage out there which has probably been pieced together over the years. I’m always interested to see how that stuff turns out, but that is very much a chapter of my past. I would rather talk about what is going to happen in the future – the future of Superman, how I can express that character from the comic books. Which, ties in nicely to Man of Steel, I really like that movie, and I’d like to be able to tell the story where it was left at that point.”

A New Starship Troopers Game Is Coming in 2020

A new Starship Troopers game is arriving on PC in 2020. It’ll drop you right into the 1997 film’s universe just as the human colony is being overrun by Arachnids. From there, you’ll have to deploy complex tactics as you take the fight into bug territory with elite soldiers.

The game comes from publishers Slitherine and Sony Pictures, who announced that Starship Troopers – Terran Command is being made by war game studio The Aristocrats. It will be available for PC via Steam in 2020.

Terran Command is described as a blend of “classic real-time mechanics, tower defense and tactical deployment of units.” Most of all, it’s meant to capture the danger and uncertainty that pervades the film as the troops battle the nasty bugs on their own planet.

Zelda Dungeon Maker Becomes a Reality (Sort of) in Mario Maker 2 Update

The most exciting new thing hitting Super Mario Maker 2 is the ability to wield Link’s Master Sword, and of course, become Link himself. Playing as Link comes with a whole new varied movelist. Link can fire arrows in multiple directions, pull out bombs on command, ground slam with his sword, and dash forward with his sword out. With your brand new movelist, the possibilities it opens up for temple-like puzzle-solving, and even custom made boss battles, is definitely intriguing.

Puzzle rooms are nothing new to Mario Maker, but you’ve always been restricted to Mario’s limited moveset. Exploring the Nintendo-made dungeons were challenging, but satisfying just like a Zelda dungeon should be. Several times through my playthrough was I told that I solved something an unintended way, but to me, that’s where the fun comes in. Seeing a problem and coming up with my own solution is something I don’t think I will ever tire of, and I can’t wait for these to be in the wild to see what level creators come up with. While it’s still not a full-on “Zelda Maker,” this should still scratch that itch for now, and is hopefully an indication that Nintendo will one day make the long asked for ‘Zelda Dungeon Maker’ a reality.
