The Suicide Squad Hits HBO Max Thursday Night, Earlier Than Expected

If you’re still anxious about going to movie theaters to catch the latest blockbuster, with the deal Warner Bros. has with HBO Max, you can watch movies like The Suicide Squad earlier than you might think. Starting Thursday night at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad will be available to stream on HBO Max, so you can watch your favorite contract killers let loose and possibly ease your anxieties about public safety.

Much like WB’s other recent releases, including Space Jam: A New Legacy and Wonder Woman 84, The Suicide Squad is seeing a dual theatrical/streaming debut. However, to stream it, you’ll need to be subscribed to the ad-free version of the service, and you’ll only have 31 days to access it.

Gunn’s reboot of the franchise has received mostly positive reviews, with our own The Suicide Squad review giving it a 9/10 despite early review bombing. Rotten Tomatoes, meanwhile, had 151 reviews netting it a much more impressive 95% fresh with the audience score left out for now.

This is Warners’ second film featuring Task Force X with only Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Margot Robbie, and Joel Kinnaman returning from the original film. Taking the reins from David Ayer, James Gunn introduces a new Suicide Squad with new characters to the DC Universe such as King Shark voiced by Sylvester Stallone, Bloodsport (Idris Elba), Ratcatcher II (Daniela Melchior), Polka-Dot-Man (David Dastmalchian), and Peacemaker (John Cena).

Huge South Park Deal Includes 14 Movies, a New Game, and More

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have signed a deal that calls for the pair to develop 14 movies, together with a new game and more seasons at Comedy Central.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new deal with ViacomCBS’ MTV Entertainment Studios covers the development of 14 original South Park movies that will debut exclusively on Paramount+, beginning with two this year, as well as a multi-season renewal of the flagship series through to its 30th season in 2027, coinciding with the show’s 30th anniversary year.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/04/south-park-trey-parker-reveals-his-favorite-episode-of-the-past-5-years”]

“Franchising marquee content like South Park and developing new IP with tremendous talent like Matt and Trey, is at the heart of our strategy to continue growing Paramount+,” said Chris McCarthy, President/CEO of MTV Entertainment and CCO of Adult Animation at Paramount+, revealing that Parker and Stone will be working on new original content outside of South Park.

The entire South Park library is currently streaming on HBO Max, except for five of the show’s most controversial episodes. The 23rd season of South Park aired in 2019 but has been on hiatus ever since due to the COVID-19 pandemic, apart from two hourlong specials — last October’s Pandemic Special and March’s South ParQ Vaccination Special.

“Comedy Central has been our home for 25 years and we’re really happy that they’ve made a commitment to us for the next 75 years,” said Parker and Stone in a statement. “When we came to ViacomCBS with a different way to produce the show during the pandemic, [they] were immediately supportive and enabled us to try something new.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=south-park-topical-episodes&captions=true”]

“We can’t wait to get back to doing traditional South Park episodes but now we can also try out new formats,” the pair added, speaking about the evolution of the franchise and their upcoming creative endeavours, which includes a new 3D video game set in the world of South Park, per Bloomberg.

Jason Schreier mentioned on Twitter that it’s currently unclear who is publishing the new South Park game, nor who is developing the new adventure, though he noted that the last two games (2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth and 2017’s South Park: The Fractured but Whole) were both published by Ubisoft.

Alongside their expansive new deal, Parker and Stone are also looking to buy Casa Bonita, the iconic restaurant that famously featured on their hit show. The company that owns the Colorado eatery, Summit Family Restaurants, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April, having been shuttered for more than a year due to the pandemic.

Jennifer Hudson Didn’t Know Cats Would Make Her Look Like A Cat

Jennifer Hudson delivered one of the only redeeming moments of the 2019 film Cats, belting out the emotional “Memory” song during the film’s final moments as audiences tried to stop laughing long enough to listen. According to the singer and actress, however, she was unaware she was going to actually… look like a cat in the movie.

Speaking to Empire, Hudson revealed she didn’t know how her character, Grizabella, would look in the finished product. “Well, I didn’t know I’d have ears or a tail,” Hudson said.

Now Playing: Cats (2019) – Official New Trailer

Rather than use traditional makeup and costume techniques, Cats utilized CG fur and whiskers to make its human actors resemble felines. It did not work very well, resulting in something that was unsettling and bizarre. That’s even before having to deal with James Corden or when Judi Dench breaks the fourth wall, a moment that caused some people to yell during a screening–I apologize to everyone else in the theater when I did that.

Cats was pannedby critics, and it released on the same day as a Star Wars movie. That didn’t bode too well for ticket sales, and it ended up being a massive box office bomb that reportedly cost Universal Pictures more than $100 million.

Ryan Reynolds Discusses His Absurd Deadpool/Bambi Short Film Pitch That Disney Rejected

Ryan Reynolds has revealed one of the pitches he made to Disney for a Deadpool/Bambi crossover that, for reasons that will become obvious, never got off the ground.

Speaking to IGN, Reynolds said he wanted to make a short film where Deadpool interrogates the hunter who killed Bambi’s mother. Except the story wouldn’t have been about Deadpool trying to get revenge or say his piece. Instead, Deadpool wanted to befriend the killer.

“The whole gist of it is that Deadpool is actually just a huge fan. He’s not interrogating–he just wants to know how he could be the most loathed Disney character in the history of Disney… and of course, Disney was like, ‘Well, I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.'”

After getting this pitch rejected, Reynolds came back to Disney with an idea for a Deadpool crossover with Thor’s Korg character to help promote Free Guy–and Disney agreed. It marked Deadpool’s first steps into the MCU, and it was a natural fit given that Taika Waititi voices Korg, is the director of the newest Thor movies, and stars in Free Guy with Reynolds. You can watch the silly clip below.

“We wrote the Deadpool-Korg piece… and we sent it to them, and they said, ‘Yes!’,” Reynolds said. “So, my next call was to Taika and Taika was in. He’s also in Free Guy so it wasn’t that hard… Taika’s an actual genius so I was thrilled to collaborate with him as this kind of character.”

Free Guy, which is a video game movie in which Reynolds’ character realizes he is an NPC in a video game, opens in theaters on August 6.

Mario Golf: Super Rush Getting New Mode, Character and Course Today

Mario Golf: Super Rush is getting a free update later today, August 5, that will add Toadette, Ranked Match mode, New Donk City, and improved motion controls.

Announced on Twitter, a short video shows Toadette and her pickaxe playing golf and running through Super Mario Odyssey’s New Donk City, throwing turnips and just causing all kinds of chaos for her opponents.

Nintendo also shared a few images of the new Ranked Match mode, and it looks to include a letter grade to indicate your rank alongside medals of adorable birds at different stages of their life. Furthermore, there appears to be a World Rank stat and achieving a grade of A- will allow you to choose Yoshi’s color when selecting a character.

It was also confirmed that there will be more updates later this year, so fans can look forward to even more content being added to Mario’s latest golf adventure.

In our Mario Golf: Super Rush review, we said that “Speed Golf is a fun addition, but a poor adventure mode, a slight selection of courses and low replayability results in Mario Golf: Super Rush being an underwhelming entry into the series.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/24/mario-golf-super-rush-review”]
