Jessica Jones Season 2: Watch The Intense New Trailer

The full trailer for the second season of Jessica Jones has been released. The Marvel Netflix show sees Kristen Ritter return as the troubled, hard-drinking private detective, who is forced to deal with consequences of her traumatic experiences in Season 1. Check it out above.

Jessica Jones Season 2 hits Netflix on March 8. The show also stars Rachael Taylor, Carrie-Anne Moss, Eka Darville, and Leah Gibson. David Tennant is set to make a return as the villainous Kilgrave too, although given his fate in Season 1, it’s not yet clear how exactly.

Last year, Jessica Jones showrunner Melissa Rosenberg spoke about her plans for Season 2 and revealed that her time on the acclaimed serial killer drama Dexter was influencing her approach. “I learned from working on Dexter that you can advance the character, but you never want to cure the character,” she said. “With Dexter, the moment he felt guilt or accepted that he was ‘bad,’ the show’s over. He’s no longer a sociopath.

“The equivalent for us would be if Jessica somehow recovered from the damage that had been done to her. People don’t just heal, you don’t go through that just to say, ‘Oh, he got arrested, he’s in jail, I’m OK now.’ That trauma is a huge part of who she is now. She was kind of messed up even before Kilgrave came along, and so in Season 2 we can explore what’s possible for her moving forward.”

DC’s Shazam: Plot Revealed In New Synopsis

As director David F. Sandberg revealed last week, DC’s superhero adventure Shazam is now in production. The movie stars Thor actor Zachary Levi in the title role, Asher Angel as his young alter ego Billy Batson, and Mark Strong as the evil Doctor Sivana. It’s set to hit theaters in April next year, and Warner has now released an official synopsis for the movie.

As Sandberg hinted last year, the synopsis confirms that the movie will have a more lighthearted tone than many of DC’s movies. As in the comic books, the story will focus on teenage Billy, who becomes an adult superhero by saying a single word.

The synopsis reads: “We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word–SHAZAM!–this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam, courtesy of an ancient wizard.

“Still a kid at heart–inside a ripped, godlike body–Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Doctor Thaddeus Sivana.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was previously announced in the role of Shazam’s nemesis Black Adam, but it was subsequently confirmed that he will not feature in Shazam. However, he is still set to appear in a spin-off movie.

Shazam first appeared in 1939, when he was known by the name Captain Marvel. The character was bought by DC in 1971, when he was renamed, due to Marvel’s ownership of the name Captain Marvel. A live action Shazam TV show was broadcast in the mid-’70s, while an animated show followed in 1981.

Overwatch Year of the Dog Event Details Teased

Details for the latest Overwatch Year of the Dog event have been teased.

A new developer update video brings some details of what we can expect in the next lunar new year event.

Lead designer Jeff Kaplan reveals a new map based on Thailand will be added to the game. The Ayutthaya map is designed specifically for capture the flag and will feature both ancient and modern themes.

Kaplan goes on to explain that updates have also come to the capture the flag game mode. Draws have been removed from the mode and instead a sudden death mechanic will commence if a tie is imminent. This will move both teams flags closer to the center of the map, allowing for either team to score a point quickly.

The Flash: “True Colors” Review

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

This week’s Flash was really all over the place in terms of tone and focus. In other words, pretty much par for the course with Season 4. The renewed focus on Clifford DeVoe and a handful of great character moments ensured that there was more bad than good, but there’s still little sense that the writers are figuring out how to strike a lasting balance between comedy and drama this season really needs at the moment.

Barry’s prison ordeal took a darker turn this week as he found himself locked away in the metahuman wing of iron Heights and placed at the mercy of the suddenly not-so-trustworthy Warden Wolfe. That made for an interesting shift, with Barry forced to join forces with the very metahuman criminals he put away in the hope of escaping. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before this episode began undercutting its own drama. The ease of Barry’s escape ensured that neither Wolfe nor Amunet Black presented quite the clear, immediate danger they should have.

Disney Considering ‘a Few’ Star Wars TV Shows

It looks like Star Wars fans may have more than just one TV series set in a galaxy far, far away to look forward to.

During an earnings call (via The Hollywood Reporter) Disney CEO Bob Iger told investors the company is developing multiple Star Wars TV shows for its forthcoming streaming service, which will debut in 2019.

Black Lightning Finally Gives Tobias Something to Do

Full SPOILERS follow for Black Lightning “Black Jesus.”

Tobias Whale finally gets a story worth talking about with the introduction of his sister Tori (Edwina Findley). His character was quickly becoming cartoonish and we didn’t need another slow motion strut alongside his deadly assistant. In a show that has been grounded in reality thus far, Tobias was the outlier, so it was nice to see Marvin “Krondon” Jones III smiling in a non-maniacal way upon first greeting his sister.

Lady Eve (Jill Scott) effectively brought Tobias down to Earth in a stomach-churning scene at her Blackbird Funeral Home. Using his Albino looks against him was a mighty way to get her point across concerning his recent failures. There are cases of black-on-black racism that are rarely addressed on network television and it was a pleasant surprise to see the writers tackling these issues here. Their interaction also added some much needed context surrounding Tobias’ past. Learning about his political origins explains his oratory skills and charisma as a gang leader.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Review

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a strange game. Like the 2009 PSP game that spawned it, it’s a battle royale between your favourite Final Fantasy characters from most of the games in the series (including Type-0 and Tactics!), but the reworked combat couldn’t be more different. Dissidia NT is a 3v3 arena brawler with a real emphasis on team structure and strategy, and while it’s occasionally brilliant, it is unique among fighting games and cluttered in a way that makes it difficult to pick up and play. Also baffling is the weak single-player content, which Square Enix should’ve learned by now is an unforced error.

Overwatch League Reportedly Set to Get Its First Female Player

The Overwatch League looks like it’s set to get its first female player.

ESPN reports “multiple sources close to the players involved and the organization” have said South Korean player Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon will be joining the Overwatch League as a member of the Shanghai Dragons.

Geguri previously played for ROX Orcas as an off tank and currently holds the No.6 tank spot on the South Korean Ladder. She is said to be brought in alongside fellow South Koreans Element Mystic’s Lee “Fearless” Eui-Seok and MVP Space’s Cheon “Ado” Ki-Hyun.
