Jake Gyllenhaal has officially confirmed that he will be playing Mysterio in the upcoming film Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Revealed through Gyllenhaal’s Instagram (as his first post at that), the heavily-rumored casting has proven to be true, as the video shows Gyllenhaal reading Amazing Spider-Man #311: The Return of the Man Called Mysterio! with another Mysterio-centric issue framed behind him. To seal the deal, the post includes the caption “I just realized I’m not playing Spider-Man.” It’s currently unclear which incarnation of Mysterio Gyllenhaal will be portraying.
Season 7 of Fortnite is set to launch tomorrow and Epic has detailed the release date and time for the start of downtime.
Season 6 will conclude at 1am PT on December 6 and downtime for the 7.00 patch will begin immediately after. Patch notes detailing any new weapons, map changes, or gameplay alterations will be released by Epic as soon as downtime begins.
In past seasons, downtime between updates lasted about an hour, but updates between seasons are typically longer.
Any replays saved before the update will be rendered useless after downtime concludes. Unlockable styles for outfits from the Season 6 Battle Pass can still be unlocked in Season 7 as long as the base skins were unlocked prior to the new season.
It may have begun in an entirely different era of filmmaking, but the Predator franchise is still going strong over 30 years later. The latest entry, simply called The Predator, finds a vicious alien on Earth’s soil with a few genetic upgrades. Now it’s up to a group of former soldiers to stop it. It’s a delightfully violent action flick that Rafael Motamayor called “a bloody, funny mess” in our Predator review. The movie is available now on digital and is coming to 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 18.
If you’d like a copy of The Predator to call your own, you probably have a few questions. Among them: when does it come out, where can you buy it, and how much does it cost? We have answers to all of those queries below, so let’s dive in.

Predator 4-Movie Collection
Those in the mood to marathon the series (or pick it up as a holiday gift for the action-horror movie fan in your life) can grab the 4-movie collection. It comes with the 1987 original film, its 1990 sequel, the 2010 film Predators, and this year’s The Predator.
It looks like Ubisoft is about to announce the 11th Far Cry game since the series began 14 years ago, and this one looks to be taking aim at Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic wheelhouse by possibly launching around the same time as Rage 2 (and not long after Fallout 76 cratered). Just like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon followed Far Cry 3 and Far Cry Primal followed Far Cry 4, this followup is coming hot on the heels of Far Cry 5, which came out only nine months ago. That’s a whole lot of Far Cry in not a lot of time, but based on the series’ mostly consistent quality, that’s hard to complain about.

Pixio takes a similar approach with gaming monitors as Aldi does with groceries: put the product in a no-frills package and sell it at a budget price. With the Pixio PX329 (See it on Amazon), you get a flat 32-inch VA panel with 1440p resolution and a refresh rate up to 165Hz. It also supports FreeSync, but you are forced to choose between the 165Hz refresh rate and AMD’s adaptive frame syncing technology, which tops out at 144Hz. At just $400 (street) it’s crazy affordable for a 32-inch gaming monitor, but what about its performance? Let’s get to the review.
This year’s epic Arrowverse crossover, “Elseworlds,” is less than a week away – and this looks to be the craziest collaboration between the shows yet, one that introduces several key new characters to the Arrowverse and sees Barry Allen and Oliver Queen trade superhero identities for a while.
The CW has debuted a new trailer and several new photos for this three-episode crossover, shedding a bit more light on a story that’s been shrouded in mystery up till now. Watch the trailer above, check out our slideshow of the images below, and then scroll down to see how many new plot details we’ve been able to glean.
The Game Awards 2018 takes place on December 6, and you’ll be able to watch the event live, right here on IGN.
In addition to recognizing the best games of the year, The Game Awards has historically featured several big reveals. All of the major announcements are being kept under wraps, but we have a few ideas about what surprises this year’s show might have in store.
As 2018 winds down, we’re looking ahead to 2019 and some of the games we’ll be keeping our eyes on – and think you should too. Keep checking back on this page all month long, as we’ll be debuting new videos and features almost every weekday in December.
Happy Holidays, we hope you enjoy this special edition of IGN First, and look for our January IGN First to kick off on Monday, January 7!
Shazam! #1 is a long time in coming. Geoff Johns and Gary Frank first set the stage for an ongoing series half a decade ago when they collaborated on a series of backup features in the New 52 Justice League comic. While Shazam himself eventually joined the Justice League, his solo comic never materialized, and readers never got to read the continued adventures of the new Shazam Family or villains like Doctor Sivana. Thankfully, this belated relaunch is a clear case of “better late than never.”
It’s probably just as well that the new series didn’t debut sooner. As solid a foundation as those Shazam! backups laid, there was also something slightly off about the portrayal of Billy Batson and his supporting cast. Like so many New 52 projects, Shazam had an unnecessarily harder edge, one that really doesn’t suit a character as goofy and all-age friendly as Billy Batson. If anything, Shazam #1 reads like a comic that could only exist in the relatively more lighthearted DC Rebirth era. Johns’ current take still retains a bit of the previous darkness in terms of the rough background for characters like Mary and Freddie, but he also shows an increased willingness to embrace the campy Golden Age roots of the franchise. Whatever surly meanness Billy Batson might have had in the New 52 has largely melted away.
