A freshly announced four-issue event mini-series from Marvel Comics called X-Men/Fantastic Four will put the spotlight on Franklin Richards, the teenage son of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman who is an Omega-level mutant and arguably the most powerful mutant in existence.
The story will be told by writer Chip Zdarsky (Marvel Two-In-One, Spider-Man: Life Story) with art by Terry and Rachel Dodson (Uncanny X-Men). Announced at London’s MCM Comic Con, the crossover won’t hit until February 2020, but until then, Zdarsky gave some juicy details to the folks over at Newsarama to tide us over until then.
Pirates of the Caribbean is reportedly being rebooted at Disney with the creator of Chernobyl teaming up with a writer on the first four films to work out a story.
Deadline reports that Craig Mazin (Chernobyl, Scary Movie 3) and Ted Elliott (Aladdin, National Treasure: Book of Secrets) are working together to crank out a story that will reboot the blockbuster series. Jerry Bruckheimer is likely to return as a producer, but it’s unknown if Johnny Depp will be back on board.
If this story sounds familiar, it’s because it was reported about a year ago that Disney hired Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to write a Pirates reboot. However, they left the project earlier this year.
Today is launch day for The Outer Worlds, and as countless gamers start their journey into Obsidian’s latest RPG, many of them are wondering how long it will last them. A few of us here at IGN have already burned through it, so here are our answers to that question.

The clock on my save file read about 30 hours when I wrapped up the final mission, though it’s important to remember that this number doesn’t reflect the amount of time you spend between the most recent autosave and when you die. And though I sailed through the first half without many deaths, I then turned the difficulty up from Normal to Hard and found myself biting the dust fairly regularly if I didn’t take my time when planning out a fight in advance. (In the interest of finishing in time for the review I ended up turning it back down to Normal for the final mission, which is not super easy!)

Neill shared a photo of himself with original co-stars Laura Dern and Jeff Golblum, who are also slated to return for the third installment of the rebooted franchise.
“I might have mentioned that I think it’s going to be a Very Good Time working with these good sorts again plus the excellent @prattprattpratt and miraculous @brycedhoward on a new one that may or may not involve dinosaurs,” Neill wrote.
He added that he recently found the boots he’s seen wearing in the photo, joking that he may auction them off. Co-star Laura Dern commented that she’d bid on the boots.
New cover art from IDW has revealed a first look at Jean-Luc Picard for the Star Trek: Picard comic’s third and final installment – a prequel that follows Picard as a Starfleet admiral, after Star Trek: Nemesis, as reported by Comicbook.
Announced in August by IDW, the synopsis of the first issue is as follows:
“Before he retired to his vineyard, Jean-Luc Picard was the most decorated admiral in Starfleet. Then one mission changed his life forever. The Countdown starts here!”
The cover art was revealed at the Destination Star Trek convention in the U.K. on Friday, with art created by Sara Pitre-Durocher.
Brandon Routh posted a goodbye message to Legends of Tomorrow on his Instagram page on the actor’s final day of filming.
It was announced in August that Routh and co-star Courtney Ford will be leaving the show and that they would film their last episode in October. It seems that day has come; Routh is bittersweet as he posts pictures of himself in costume, a room of costumes, a cake and some fan art.
Hear Routh talk about his return as Superman for the Arrowverse TV franchise.
“My final day of filming with my #LegendsFamily. I love you all & appreciate the 5 seasons we’ve spent together,” Routh began. “It hasn’t always been easy, but I think that’s what makes it harder to leave—getting through the growing pains of the first few seasons has bonded us. And made the last three seasons a blast! I’ve never been at a job this long, so this is new for me. I think I will miss you all and the fun we’ve had making this silly show on the #Waverider—as much as I’ll miss bringing #RayPalmer to life. Love & blessings on a great finish to the season.”
Robert Downey Jr. tried several variations of Tony Stark’s death scene in Avengers: Endgame, according to the film’s editor Jeffrey Ford.
“When we were putting together the end of the movie, when we shot Tony’s last moment in the first round, we shot a bunch of different options. Robert had different ideas,” Ford told Collider. “We shot a run of different performances for that last moment. Some of them were crazy. Some of them we would never have used.”
