SDCC: Marvel Confirms Shang-Chi Will Be Third Film Of Phase 4

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next phase is quickly taking shape, thanks to news announced at Marvel Studios’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. The first movie of Phase 4 is Black Widow, the second is Eternals, we now know the third: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige made the announcement on stage, confirming some Shang-Chi rumors that have been floating around for a while. He also gave some details about who would be making the movie. Simu Liu (Fresh Off The Boat) will play Shang-Chi, while Tony Leung will play the Mandarin, and Destin Daniel Cretton is directing. Awkwafina also has a role in the movie, although Feige didn’t elaborate on what that might be.

The movie is set to release on February 12, 2021.

The Mandarin is a villain you might recognize from the MCU of the past–he appeared as the antagonist in Iron Man 3, played by Ben Kingsley. As it turned out, that Mandarin was a red herring, distracting Tony Stark and the rest of the world from the movie’s real villain, Aldrich Killian. According to Feige, the villain of Shang-Chi is the “real” Mandarin, and he isn’t happy about being impersonated.

The Ten Rings have also been a part of the MCU before now. That’s the name of the terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony Stark back in the first Iron Man movie. Tony struck a blow against the group when he escaped captivity in his first cobbled-together Iron Man suit, but clearly, the organization is still a big deal in the MCU.

There’s plenty more news coming out of the Marvel panel, so stay tuned to our Comic-Con hub for our full coverage of everything you need to know.

Overwatch Looks To Be Teasing Hero 31

Overwatch has begun to tease something new for the game and, given the timing and the nature of the tease, we expect it’s for the next hero to join the roster. The tease comes in the form of a video which, initially, looks like it’s going to be another developer update from game director Jeff Kaplan. However, Kaplan is sucked through a dimensional rift or black hole of some sort. Then a bunch of formulae and equations appear on the screen, in case you need it made extra-clear that weird physics stuff is happening.

If this is a hero, it will be the 31st character on the Overwatch roster. It would also be the first addition since Baptiste in March, continuing the trend of rolling out a new hero every 3-4 months.

This is coming just as the game is holding its annual Summer Games event, which once again offers special challenges and exclusive skins. The first Summer Games was themed after the Olympics, but since then it has become a yearly tradition with Overwatch characters sporting their finest summer duds.

Meanwhile, Blizzard has just rolled out a massive change to its matchmaking system on the public test realm with the addition of a Role Queue. The revised system has you pick from one of the three major team roles–tank, support, or damage–and then you’ll be matched into a team with two of each type. The studio says it hopes this helps team composition and lets players stick with the type of role they like best. This also introduces some new changes to how skill ratings and leaderboards are handled. It’s in testing now, with a wider beta planned to start on August 13.

Westworld Season 3 Trailer Revealed at Comic Con 2019

A new trailer for Westworld’s upcoming third season debuted today during a panel for the series at San Diego Comic Con.

The nearly three-minute trailer provides a better look at life outside of the parks, which seems to be filled with just as many violent delights. Check it out below:

The trailer gives us a better idea of what to expect from Season 3, following the shorter teaser released in May, which focused on Aaron Paul’s new character, Caleb. We see Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores, Jeffery Wright’s Bernard, and Tessa Thompson’s Hale in the real world after the events of the Season 2 finale. Thandie Newton’s Maeve, meanwhile, appears to still be within Delos Destinations, in what seems to be a Nazi-filled, World War II-themed park.

Why The Witcher Will Focus on the Original Short Stories

The cast of Netflix’s The Witcher talked with IGN about details of the adaptation, and how they chose what to focus on within the franchise for the upcoming series.

Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich specifically spoke about the books and original short stories.

“We’re all big fans of the books. We’re all big fans of the video games as well, but this is solely based on the books and that’s really where we drew our inspiration from – starting with the short stories,” Hissrich said.

When asked how they decided to focus the theme around the original stories, Hissrich elaborated, saying, “One of the first things that we did was basically tackle that question. Is do we want to do the short stories or do we want to do the saga, I mean, hopefully we have space and time to do it all.”

Per Amazon, “Season 4 of The Expanse, its first as a global Amazon Original, begins a new chapter for the series with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long-dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians, and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.”
