E3 2019 Games List Grows With 6 New Games
Where to Preorder the Marvel Legends Series Avengers Endgame Power Gauntlet
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
One of the coolest pieces of merchandise to come out of last year’s Avengers: Infinity War was the articulated Marvel Legends Series Infinity Gauntlet. The follow-up for Avengers: Endgame is a worthy successor, but it does one better than last year’s model: you can actually buy one before it comes out.
The Marvel Legends Series Endgame Power Gauntlet is in stock right now, and you can order it for its $99.99 list price, but I’d recommend acting quickly. As great as the Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet is, it sold out entirely too fast, driving up the price. You can still get it for list price at places like Best Buy, which is nice, but if you want to get last year’s Infinity Gauntlet someplace like Amazon or Walmart, prepare to pay extra.
Stan Lee’s Ex Manager Charged With Elder Abuse
A case concerning late Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee has come to a close months after his passing. As reported by CNN, a man named Keya Morgan claiming to be a manager and caretaker for Lee was charged with abuse.
The case closed on Friday with Morgan being charged with “multiple counts of elder abuse, including alleged false imprisonment” and a “$300,000 arrest warrant was issued for Morgan’s arrest,” according to a representative of the Los Angeles Superior Court who spoke to CNN.
Endgame Included Unused Thor 2 Footage
Spoiler warning: spoilers for Avengers: Endgame ahead.
While Natalie Portman’s Doctor Jane Foster made a cameo in Avengers: Endgame, the actress didn’t actually shoot any new footage for the appearance.
Reported by Entertainment Weekly, directors Anthony and Joe Russo explained the only new content Portman provided for the film was a quick piece of voiceover work. Anthony said “All she did new for this movie was…”
“The voice,” said Joe.
“A little bit of voice-over when she’s talking in the distance, that’s it,” finished Anthony.
The scene in question takes place on Asgard in 2013 and focuses on Jane in the distance thanking a group of Asgardians for taking care of her, though the newly provided piece of vocal work itself is relatively hard to distinguish, and largely just lends to the overall believability of the scene.
Stranger Things Is Getting This Amazing Upside Down LEGO Set
Stranger Things is receiving a brand-new LEGO set depicting both the regular world and the series’ infamous The Upside Down.
Available June 1 (or May 15 for LEGO VIP members), the set depicts Will Byers’ house in its real world and Upside Down states. Both halves of the set show the front and inside of the house, with detailed Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Joyce Byers and Chief Jim Hopper figures accounted for in the regular world, and Will Byers and the Demogorgon residing in The Upside Down.
The set includes subtle callbacks to the show, including a light up alphabet wall used to communicate between worlds, dark vines spread throughout The Upside Down, a Hawkin’s Police Department truck, and the attic even includes a drawing of the Mind Flayer and a wizard hat belonging to Will the Wise. The figures in The Upside Down cling to tiles on the ceiling, and the entire set can be flipped and displayed in either orientation.
Endgame’s Avengers Battle of New York Callback Wasn’t the First Option
SPOILERS AHEAD for Avengers: Endgame.
When the heroes of Avengers: Endgame go on their “time heist” to retrieve the Infinity Stones, the audience is treated to the scene of the Avengers first assembling at the Battle of New York, however, that scene was not part of the original plan.
Speaking to Business Insider, Avengers: Endgame editor Jeffrey Ford discussed how the decision had to be made as to when our future Avengers would return to the past New York to get the Tesseract and that the winning scene had to be “something audiences would instantly recognize.”
The Flash Ends a Bad Season With a Strong Finale
Warning: Full spoilers for The Flash’s Season 5 finale below. If you need a refresher on where we left off, here’s our review for Season 5, Episode 21.
The Flash’s fifth season has been a huge disappointment. It’s not even a question of whether the season finale can redeem the show. That’s flat-out impossible this late in the game. Even so, “Legacy” worked about as well as could be hoped. This episode helped recapture some of the show’s faded glory, all while giving several characters the emotional send-offs they deserved.
Naturally, Cicada was the weak link in the finale. The series has done very little with the character since the mantle shifted from Orlin Dwyer to his niece Grace, and this episode was never going to make up for all that lost time. The Cicada conflict was given a decent ending, at least, though more in terms of Nora’s story than Grace’s. Nora got through to Grace in a way she failed to do before, allowing for her grand heroic moment before the tragic fallout.

Movie Where Ryan Reynolds Discovers He’s A Character In A Video Game Has Started Filming
Production has officially begun on the upcoming video game movie “Free Guy,” starring Ryan Reynolds. He plays a bank teller who realizes he is actually a background character in a video game called Free City. Somehow he learns that the developers of the game are planning to shut it down, and he embarks on a quest to save it. It sounds pretty great.
Free Guy is directed by Shawn Levy, who directed Night at the Museum and several episodes of Stranger Things. The film also stars Taika Waititi, Joe Keery, Jodie Comer, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Lil Rel Howery.
The film is shooting in the Boston area, according to Collider. Comer, who was praised for her performance in Killing Eve, plays a character named “Molotov Girl” who works with Reynolds to save the game.
The story sounds similar in part to The Truman Show, in which Jim Carrey’s character discovers he’s actually the star of a TV show about his own life. Reynolds and Waititi are known for their comedic acting, and we can only imagine what they’ll think up for Free Guy.
Notably, Free Guy is among the first Fox films to shoot following Disney’s acquisition. The movie comes to theatres on July 3, 2020.
This of course is not Reynolds’ first video game movie. He is the voice of Pikachu in the Pokemon movie, Detective Pikachu, which is doing very well at the box office right now.
