Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington Reportedly Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington, known for his role as Jon Snow on the HBO hit series, will soon be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according report from Deadline.

The report is thin on details and simply says that Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. heard Harrington will join the MCU in some fashion but there is currently no word on what film he would join. Fleming does note that he wouldn’t be surprised if some details are revealed by the end of the weekend. With Disney’s D23 Expo 2019 currently underway, it’s possible we may learn the nature of Harrington’s role there.

Disney+ Series The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Explained by Jeff Goldblum

Trying to get a straight answer out of Jeff Goldblum is no small feat, and neither is trying to get clear information from him about his upcoming Disney+ series, NatGeo’s The World According to Jeff Goldblum.

The D23 Expo panel for the upcoming show proved to be 30 minutes of asides, anecdotes and segues (including whether or not Goldblum has a tattoo. Does he? After five minutes of audience speculation, he ultimately wouldn’t reveal). But throughout it all, Goldblum’s explanation of what the intriguingly titled World According to Jeff Goldblum is proves to be the most Goldblum-worthy idea ever.

Ms. Marvel Series Reportedly in the Works for Disney+

A new Disney+ series is in the works featuring Ms. Marvel, according to THR. They say it will be based on the acclaimed, award-winning comic series starring Kamala Khan, who takes inspiration from Captain Marvel to become Ms. Marvel. The comic, originally spearheaded by Muslim writer G. Willow Wilson, is notable for featuring Marvel’s first headlining Muslim hero.

As Ms. Marvel, Kamala’s powers revolve around shapeshifting, allowing her to stretch, “embiggen,” and temporarily shapeshift. She has origins as an Inhuman in the comics.

THR notes that “No timetable has been set for the show and it unclear whether the show will fit into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.” British writer Bisha K. Ali will reportedly write and act as showrunner. Ali is a comedian who is currently a staff writer on Hulu’s remake of Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Wasteland 3’s Giant Car is My Favorite Party Member

Trading in the dusty barrens of Arizona and the like for the snow-swept passages of Colorado, Wasteland 3’s apocalyptic vision may not be the prettiest looking role-playing tactical game out there, but it is looking a whole lot sleeker and more detailed than its predecessor. Instead of moving a dot on a line across a barren map, I was able to snowplow an armored transport vehicle through winding sleet-heavy roads before finding the target of my objective: an old resort turned into a base filled with drugged up psychopaths. My job was to find their leader – Victory Buchanan – and take him out.

In my first combat experience going hands-on with Wasteland 3’s demo that went out to backers this week (the full experience should arrive sometime in Spring 2020), I was given four different characters to control: My main character, Banshee the sniper, Doc Nails the medic, and Scotchmo the shotgun-toting alcoholic. Each had a specialized role to fill that made them instantly unique from the others, like Scotchmo’s shotgun displaying a large cone of fire instead of targeting single opponents. The overhead view of the arena seamlessly transitioned from exploration into a grid-based map featuring a much more slick and streamlined interface than we’ve seen in Wasteland 2. I was a bit sloppy entering the fight, and had to rush to find cover after taking fire that felt very reminiscent of X-COM’s tactical battles (even featuring their own version of ambushing overwatch strikes that could activate during an enemy’s movement). I appreciated all the clever visual cues – like being able to see my movement range with different colored borders marking how far I could run and still have action points leftover to shoot. I was also happy to find that you could swap between characters on the fly during your turn, rather than having to fully complete a character’s action one after other, which meant new strategic opportunities for setting up attacks.

Ms. Marvel Show Reportedly In The Works For Disney+

One of Marvel’s most recent hit characters is reportedly getting her own show on Disney’s upcoming streaming service. Ms. Marvel aka Kamala Khan, the company’s first Muslim superhero, is said to be in the works with British writer Bisha K. Ali attached as writer and showrunner.

THR reports that the announcement will be made at Disney’s D23 presentation. Though the name “Ms. Marvel” has belonged to various heroes since the 1970s, Kamala Khan was introduced in 2013. The Pakistani American character opened up opportunities to explore themes of religious and cultural identity. Her powers allow her to change shape, and she’s known for being a fan of superheroes within the Marvel universe, allowing for some meta-commentary.

Kamala was added to the Marvel universe near other notable characters like Miles Morales as the Ultimate Spider-Man, and Spider-Gwen, an alternate version of Gwen Stacy in which she (rather than Peter Parker) was bitten by a radioactive spider. All three characters have become the faces of a new, younger Marvel universe.

D23 is Disney’s annual expo, full of news about its upcoming slate of entertainment projects, theme parks, and more. You can check out our D23 schedule for details about where and when to watch the variety of panels.

Destiny 2’s PS4-Exclusive Gun Is Finally Available To All, Thanks To Cross-Save (Sort Of)

Destiny 2‘s newly implemented cross-save feature went live this week, and it’s quite wonderful. Provided you own the necessary content on each platform, it allows you to take your Guardians from PS4 to Xbox One to PC, letting you enjoy the benefits of PC or play with friends on another platform. But it has an additional perk for those who have previously invested in the Xbox One or PC versions: the ability to get a new, PS4-exclusive Exotic weapon, Wavesplitter.

As is customary on Fridays, Xur has arrived. And while he’s always worth a visit (even if you already own every Exotic, the armor he sells might have better rolls than your version), cross-save brings a new benefit to Xur. In addition to directly selling four specific Exotics, Xur also allows players to purchase a Fated Engram, which decrypts into an Exotic you don’t already own. Using cross-save, PC or Xbox One players can now jump into the PS4 version of the game and buy the Fated Engram. Provided you already have every other Exotic available to your character, this should guarantee your Engram turns into Wavesplitter. We’ve tested this ourselves, and sure enough, we got Wavesplitter on what had previously been a PC-only character.

WavesplitterWavesplitter

This comes with two big caveats. One, cross-save requires you to own Destiny 2 and Forsaken on PS4 in order to acquire the gun. And two, Wavesplitter can’t currently be used on PC or Xbox One. While you’re free to equip it while on PS4, moving back to the other platforms will render it unusable.

That will change later this year with a new update; one change we’re seeing now that Bungie is in full control of the game is the ending of platform-exclusive content. For years, Destiny and Destiny 2 players on Xbox One (and, more recently, PC) have had to wait upwards of a year to receive content that launched on PS4 first. This has included strikes and Exotics like Wavesplitter, which came to PS4 alongside Forsaken last year.

This Fated Engram trick of sorts is made possible through a change that happened earlier this year. Prior to an update, these Engrams were restricted to pre-Forsaken Exotics, but those added to the game as part of that expansion can now be acquired by buying the Engram. Exotics added to the game since then still must be obtained through normal means.

Wavesplitter is a trace rifle, of which there are very few in the game. Holding down the trigger causes its damage to change over time. It’s one of several pieces of Forsaken’s PS4-exclusive content that Xbox One and PC owners can look forward to gaining access to sometime between now and the release of Shadowkeep on October 1.

Kylo Ren Still Has Darth Vader’s Helmet in New Footage From Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

During the Disney Legends ceremony at D23 Expo 2019, a sizzle reel of upcoming Disney projects showed off some new footage from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The footage starts with a shot from the initial teaser of Kylo Ren giving a Rock Bottom to a black-garbed figure in a forest, then we get out first new bit of footage as Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron repels from atop a spaceship that’s being maintenanced inside a large hangar, followed by a shot of him inside a command center.

We see another shot from the first teaser, this time of Daisy Ridley’s Rey standing in the desert, then a quick cut to John Boyega’s Finn standing inside a structure with daylight shining in from above as we hear Rey tell him, “It’s too dangerous.” Then we see the pair talking in the same shot and Rey continues, “I have to go alone.”
