Kingsman 3: Taron Egerton Reveals He Won’t Be Back as Eggsy

Taron Egerton won’t be back for the third Kingsman movie as Gary “Eggsy” Unwin, the actor has revealed.

In an interview with Yahoo! Movies, Egerton broke the news while discussing his upcoming film Robin Hood. The reason for Eggsy not being in the third film appears to be a narrative choice that director and scriptwriter Matthew Vaughn is taking. It’s currently not known if other main characters and actors from the previous two entries will be absent from the film.

“I’m not in the next Kingsman,” said Egerton. When asked why, he responded, “I don’t know if I’m allowed to tell you. That doesn’t mean I won’t be a Kingsman ever again. I was with Matthew

Batman #58 Lends New Tragedy to Penguin

As much as Tom King’s Batman run has found bold, ambitious new ways of highlighting the wounded man beneath the costume, it’s also worked wonders on several major and minor Bat-villains. The sad saga of Kite-Man in “The War of Jokes and Riddles” stands out as one clear example. There’s also the portrayal of Selina Kyle as a tragic mirror to Batman who sacrifices their romance for the greater good or Bane as a man whose fleeting dance with inner peace is shattered by the Dark Knight. With this newest story arc, it’s clear King and artist Mikel Janin are turning their attention to Penguin. And so far, the results are promising.

When last Penguin was seen in this series, he was revealed to be a member of Bane’s secret cabal, helping the villainous mastermind orchestrate his grand plot against Batman. This issue delves deeper into that alliance and Oswald Cobblepot’s motivations for allying with Bane. Needless to say, it’s not an altogether stable arrangement, and Penguin quickly emerges as a self-interested neutral agent in this deepening war between Batman and Bane.

Director Says Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Luke Skywalker ‘100% Consistent’ With the Original Trilogy

Nearly one year after the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Director Rian Johnson took to Twitter in defense of the portrayal of Luke Skywalker in his film.

Johnson’s tweet reads: “Hot take: Luke is in fact 100% consistent with his character (not the way he’s described in marketing blurbs, but his actual, based-on-his-words-and-actions character) from the OT. I’ll be at the bar if you need me.”

Blizzard Interactive is working on mobile titles across all of its intellectual properties, according to executive producer Allen Adham.

During a Q&A session (via Reddit), Adham said, “In terms of Blizzard’s approach to mobile gaming, many of us over the last few years have shifted from playing primarily desktop to playing many hours on mobile. We have many of our best developers now working on new mobile titles across all of our IPs.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Roster Is Already Set

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will spend roughly a year after its launch adding more characters, stages, and music tracks via downloadable content. Don’t waste time starting that letter campaign for Dixie Kong, though–director Masahiro Sakurai says the roster is already locked.

“Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC line-up is now complete,” Sakurai said in a tweet. “This time the selection was made entirely by Nintendo. I decide if we can create a fighter based on their selection, then come up with the plan.”

The phrasing does note that the selections were already made “this time,” leaving the door open for another series of DLC content to follow that could include fan requests. The community has been vocal about some of their favorite characters, including Waluigi, Banjo-Kazooie, and others. Of course, he could have simply been contrasting this time with last time, meaning the last Smash Bros. game.

Six downloadable characters are coming in all. The first, Piranha Plant, will be available for free for everyone who purchases and registers the game by January 31, 2019. He’ll come later as a purchasable character. Five more fighters will be added in DLC packs that are bundled with an additional stage and some new music tracks. Those packs will cost $6 apiece, and a Fighter’s Pass bundle will get you all of them for $25. Buying the Fighter’s Pass will also get you an outfit based on Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

The announcement of Piranha Plant and the DLC fighters came alongside the last two roster reveals in the main game: Ken and Incineroar. That announcement also debuted the final mode, Spirits, which has you take on a series of challenges to earn equippable character buffs. That Nintendo Direct mentioned that the DLC wasn’t locked down yet, so the character selections may be very recent.

Smash Bros. Ultimate releases on December 7 for Nintendo Switch.
