Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is the upcoming feature-length Spider-Man animated movie, in which the wallcrawler encounters many different versions of himself and has to save reality against the evil Kingpin. It hits theaters next month, and a new international trailer has been released.

This latest promo puts the focus on the six different versions of Spidey we can expect to see in the film. There’s Miles Morales and Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen, the 1940s hero Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker (aka SP//dr), and Peter Porker (aka Spider-Ham). Check it out above.

Into The Spider-Verse is produced by The Lego Movie’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller, with a screenplay by Lord. The voice cast includes Shameik Moore (The Get Down) as Miles, Jake Johnson (Jurassic World) as Peter, Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee) as Gwen, plus Nicolas Cage (Mandy), Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), and Mahershala Ali (Luke Cage).

In a recent interview, Miller spoke about the movie’s distinctive visuals. “This is a new, unique experience, and we are pushing the medium,” he said, via Indiewire. “We’re getting away with so much with this movie. It’s a pretty wild style.” Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse hits theaters on December 14.

While the live-action Spider-Man is currently part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony retains the movie rights to the character. The studio’s recent Spidey spin-off Venom proved to be a huge success, and last month it was confirmed that production begins early next year on the next spin-off, Morbius the Vampire.

Kingsman star Taron Egerton says he won’t be returning for the third film. During an interview for his upcoming starring role in a new adaptation of Robin Hood, Egerton revealed he’s out for the next picture in the franchise, but left the door open for returning sometime in the future.

“I don’t know how hot off the press this is, and I think I’m allowed to say it, but I’m not in the next Kingsman movie,” Egerton told Yahoo. “That doesn’t mean I won’t be in Kingsman ever again. I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, we’re still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn’t involve me.”

Egerton has been the central character Gary “Eggsy” Unwin in both Kingsman movies so far: 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service and the sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The comic adaptation centers on a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who gets recruited into a high-tech gentlemen spy organization. Both have had their share of James Bond-like action, punctuated with moments of tongue-in-cheek satire toward the spy genre.

The third film is scheduled for November 9, 2019, and will focus on a new character named Conrad against the backdrop of World War 1. That may make it a prequel, which explains Egerton’s absence. Ralph Fiennes is also said to be involved. Egerton says he’s talked with Vaughn about the story for the upcoming film.

“His idea for the new one is incredibly exciting,” Egerton said. “I’m sad that I won’t be on that journey with him, but it’s not the last you’ve seen of Eggsy.”

Egerton’s next starring role, as the title character in Robin Hood, will debut in theaters on November 21. The film also stars Jamie Foxx, Jamie Dornan, and Eve Hewson.

Playground Games’ Forza Horizon series has become a standout in the genre, offering tight and satisfying driving gameplay while setting it all in real-world locations that are picturesque and provide a variety of activities to engage in. The latest entry, Forza Horizon 4, will no doubt be a hot property when it comes to Black Friday deals, and although the event is still a few weeks away, ads for various retailers have confirmed discounts on the title.

For those on the hunt for a good discount, there’s a few options to consider, and most of them knock around $20 off the full price. First up, Best Buy has it priced at $30, which is currently the biggest discount that we’ve seen. Walmart, meanwhile, is offering the game for $35, and Target also has it for $35. It’s worth noting that these are all physical versions of the game, as opposed to digital codes.

Forza Horizon 4 is also available through Xbox Game Pass, which is the Microsoft service that gives subscribers access to a selection of games for as long as they’re a member. Although you won’t outright own Forza Horizon 4, this is a way to play the game–alongside a bunch of others–for fairly cheap.

Forza Horizon 4 launched on October 2, and has held up the series’ high standards, earning a 9/10 from GameSpot.

“There’s such a diverse range of activities stuffed into every corner of Horizon 4, and meaningful changes contribute to smart driving dynamics and a more consistent sense of achievement,” said Edmond Tran in his Forza Horizon 4 review.

“Everything you do in Horizon feels valuable, no matter how big or small–from the basic thrills of speeding a fast car down a gorgeous mountain highway to spending time tinkering with your favorite ride to manage seasonal road conditions to just hanging out with friends and strangers online and goofing off in friendly games. The charm of the Horizon series is as palpable as ever, a winning, all-inclusive recipe that celebrates the joy of driving above all else.”

While a movie flop might ensure that there is no a direct sequel, a box office bomb has never stopped producers rebooting a property if they think there is still money to be made. This is the case with this week’s biggest US movie release, The Girl in the Spider’s Web. It’s the second attempt to tap into the huge popularity of the novel series focusing on hacker Lisbeth Salander, following the commercial disappointment of 2011’s The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. We’ll know soon enough if there if this one gets a sequel or if we’ll be seeing yet another reboot in seven years time.

Fans of dark cinema will also get to check out the latest JJ Abrams produced horror/thriller, Overlord, which pitches US soldiers against scary genetically altered Nazis in World War II. There’s also the animated version of the much-loved Dr Seuss book The Grinch Who Saved Christmas, while UK audiences can check out the acclaimed thriller Widows a week before it arrives in the US.

On the small screen, Netflix continue its run of impressive movies from notable directors. This week it’s the turn of David McKenzie, who previously made the brilliant thriller Hell or High Water, and who reteams with star Chris Pine for the historical epic Outlaw King. So here’s the week’s new releases in the both the US and UK, in both theaters and on streaming…

DC’s streaming service DC Universe launched in September, offering a mix of original programming and classic superhero titles from the Warner Brothers vault. Flagship show Titans premiered last month, and it is set to be joined in 2019 by several other new titles. One of these will be a Swamp Thing series, and the lead actors have now been announced.

As reported by Variety, Swamp Thing will be played by two actors–Andy Bean (Agents of SHIELD, the upcoming It: Chapter 2) and Derek Mears. Bean will take on the role of Dr Alec Holland, the biologist who transforms into the elemental creature after working in the Louisiana swamp. The creature itself will be played by Derek Mears, who is best known for portraying the iconic killer Jason Vorhees in the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th.

Swamp Thing doesn’t yet have a premiere date, but we can expect it in 2019. In a recent interview, screenwriter Gary Dauberman provided some details about the show and confirmed that it will contain R-rated content. “We always set out to make Swamp Thing as hard R as we could and go graphic with the violence, with the adult themes and make it as scary as possible,” he said. “Because we’re doing it through the DC Universe streaming service, they really pushed us, although they didn’t have to push hard, for us to go as extreme as we could. Fans of [the comic book] series will know it gets pretty weird and extreme and scary. We really wanted to live up to that standard that [Alan] Moore set up back in the ’80s.”

In addition, Dauberman assured fans that this Swamp Thing will be scary, as opposed to the rubbery creature in Wes Craven’s 1981 movie and the previous TV version. “Swamp Thing himself looks incredible, what Justin Raleigh and the guys over at Fractured are doing with the suit,” he said. “So it’s going to look amazing and less of the ‘man in suit’ that you’ve seen in the movie and the other TV show.”

Other titles set to premiere on DC Universe include a live-action Doom Patrol series, plus a new animated Harley Quinn show. For more, check out GameSpot’s review of the service, plus our review of Titans.

AMC’s hit TV drama Breaking Bad might have ended back in 2013, but the wider universe it was set in continues to thrive. The prequel show Better Call Saul has been renewed for a fifth season, and now it has been reported that series creator Vince Gilligan is about to start shooting a Breaking Bad movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, production on the two-hour film will begin this month in New Mexico. Specific details about the project are scarce and it has not been officially confirmed by AMC. However, THR states that the movie has been known by the working (or possibly fake) title Greenbrier within the industry for some time. The New Mexico Film Office has confirmed that a project with that title is due to start shooting in mid-November.

While we don’t know if the movie will be a prequel or sequel, THR states that it will focus on “the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.” Gilligan has written the script and might be directing. It is also unknown if either of Breaking Bad’s main stars–Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul–are set to return. Cranston’s character, Walter White, died at the end of that show.

Better Call Saul premiered in 2015. It follows the earlier life of Breaking Bad’s shady lawyer Saul Goodman, with Bob Odenkirk reprising the lead role. The fourth season finished its run last month, and will return for a fifth season next year. Season 4 saw the storyline get much closer to the events of Breaking Bad, with actors Jonathan Banks (as Mike Ehrmantraut), Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring), and Mark Margolis (Héctor Salamanca) all reprising their Breaking Bad roles.

In related news, it was reported this week that AMC is planning a trilogy of Walking Dead movies. Star Andrew Lincoln left the show this week, but he will return as Rick Grimes in three standalone films, which will screen on the network. “These are going to be big, epic entertainments,” Walking Dead chief content officer Scott Gimple said. “Each are quality films. That’s what’s been happening in the industry. We’ve seen Netflix make these, basically, studio films for people to watch in their homes, and we’re going to be doing the same sort of thing here.”
