With Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home out of the way, MCU Phase 3 is over. Phase 4 is expected to be revealed during San Diego Comic-Con next month, and one of the movies in the mix is The Eternals. Now, a new report reveals who may star in it.Variety reports that Stranger Things and Godzilla actress Millie Bobby Brown is in the movie, alongside Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick), and Richard Madden (Game of Thrones). The film is to be directed by Chloe Zhao (The Rider).Other MCU Phase 4 movies are expected to be Shang-Chi, which will be the first MCU movie with an Asian lead, along with Doctor Strange 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Black Panther 2, and Black Widow.The first Eternals comic was published in 1976 by late writer and artist, Jack Kirby (1917-1994). The Eternals, an offshoot of life created by an alien race called the Celestials, were established to protect the Earth from the Deviants, a dastardly project by the Celestials gone awry. 30 years later, eclectic writer Neil Gaiman gave the superheroes a facelift in 2006, bringing them and their universe to the modern era with a seven-issue miniseries that concluded in 2007.For lots more, check out GameSpot's rundown of everything we know about MCU Phase 4.

The indie platformer Cuphead is making the jump to Netflix, with an adaptation as an animated series. "The Cuphead Show!" will expand on the story and world of Cuphead, presumably with the same 1930s rubber band style of animation.The show is being executive produced by Cuphead creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, along with Dave Wasson who has directed the similarly styled Mickey Mouse Shorts. Cosmo Segurson (Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling) and C.J. Kettler (Carmen Sandiego) are also executive producing.The Cuphead Show is now in production, and no release date has been announced.The game focuses on Cuphead and his brother Mugman as they accidentally gamble away their souls to the devil. The art style in particular was praised for paying homage to classic cartoons in the style of Fleischer Studios. Those included works like Betty Boop and Popeye. It was also notoriously difficult."Cuphead has been a longtime coming, and it's great to see that it lives up to its initial promises across all platforms," Peter Brown wrote in GameSpot's review. "It's beautiful to look at, and with a pitch-perfect soundtrack, it flawlessly captures the era its developers so clearly revere. It's also an intense action game that pulls no punches. It could benefit from a few tweaks, and two-player co-op doesn't feel like the valuable addition you might imagine, but Cuphead remains a rare, unique game that truly stands out."Info from Gamespot.com

Fortnite's 14 Days of Summer event is winding down, but some new content has arrived for the hit battle royale shooter. The third content update of the game's 9.30 patch is now live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. Much like last week's update, however, it's a fairly minor one, adding one new weapon to Battle Royale mode and a handful of other content to Fortnite Creative and Save the World.This week's Battle Royale addition is the Air Strike, a new Legendary-tier throwable item that will call in a hail of missiles on other players. The Air Strike can be found as floor loot or in chests, supply drops, vending machines, or llamas, and you can only carry a maximum of two at a time. When thrown, it will summon 20 missiles from the sky, each of which deals 75 damage to players and 200 damage to structures, making it quite a potent item.The 14 Days of Summer daily LTMs may have ended, but there will be six different limited-time modes to play in the rotation this week, including High Explosives Squads, Sneaky Silencers Solo, Classic Squads (which features items only from Seasons 1 and 2), Solid Gold Duos, Catch Squads, and Blitz Squads.

Destiny 2's latest weekly reset brings some new loot to chase, thanks to the newly released Moments of Triumph for Year Two. Knock out some Triumphs, and you can earn a special emblem, Sparrow, ship, and even a new seal and title. Along with that, there's also Lumina, Destiny 2's newest Exotic hand cannon, which you can track down quickly with our Lumina guide. And as always, there's the new Power level cap grind to bring your characters up to full strength. One handy way to do that is with the weekly Ascendant Challenge, which can get you the Powerful gear you need. This week's challenge is the third of six that repeat in Forsaken. Here's where its portal is located and what to do inside.If you've done an Ascendant Challenge (or several at this point) before, you'll have an idea of how this goes. Start out by buying the appropriate bounty from Petra in the Dreaming City. Alongside that, you'll need a Tincture of Queensfoil. Once you consume that, you get the Ascendance buff that allows you to see the Taken portal--after you've found it.This particular portal is located in the Spire of Keres; you can see its location in the video above. Go through it to visit the Shattered Ruins in the Ascendant Plane, where are tasked with climbing a tower made of rocks without dying. Enemies will try to snipe you, and Taken rifts will try to boop you off the tower to your death. Be careful with where you move as you go toward the top; once you're there, kill the boss to complete the Ascendant Challenge.Your reward is a chest that may not have anything special inside, but you'll also complete the bounty you picked up from Petra. This offers a piece of Powerful gear, making it a task worth tackling. With the recently released Black Armory expansion, the Power cap for characters has been raised to 650, so it's definitely worth revisiting the Ascendant Challenge as you grind up to those new heights.As noted above, the prerequisite for doing an Ascendant Challenge--aside from access to the Dreaming City, which only comes after finishing the Forsaken campaign--is a Tincture of Queensfoil. These can be obtained through chests and Public Events in the Dreaming City, but that's not the only means.The video above details a location you can go to trade 50 Baryon Boughs, the planetary material you earn in the Dreaming City, for a Tincture of Queensfoil. If you're desperate to get your hands on one to try the Ascendant Challenge, follow our video guide to help you find your way to the spot where you can trade with Huginn.The Season of the Drifter brings two new activities--Gambit Prime, a tougher version of the Gambit competitive mode we've seen since Forsaken, and The Reckoning, a new pinnacle-level activity related to the Drifter. It also seems set to expand on the Drifter's story and what we saw in the last new activity in Destiny 2, The Draw. Stay tuned for more guides and coverage as we dig into the new content this week.Info from Gamespot.com

With reports circulating that one of the Game of Thrones prequels has begun filming, new details about the forthcoming fantasy show have emerged. Entertainment Weekly has published a report filled with facts after talking to author and executive producer Geroge R.R. Martin, revealing a possible title, the creatures in Westeros, and more.The EW report lists five new details about the Game of Thrones prequel starring Naomi Watts (Birdman). The most important is the possible show title. While nothing is set in stone, Martin is lobbying for The Long Night. However, episode three of Game of Thrones' eighth season was also titled The Long Night. To avoid confusion, Martin wouldn't mind a variation: "I heard a suggestion that it could be called The Longest Night, which is a variant I wouldn't mind. That would be pretty good."Elsewhere, Martin admits that the prequel will focus on Westeros when it was 100 kingdoms. "But if you go back further then there are nine kingdoms, and 12 kingdoms, and eventually you get back to where there are a hundred kingdoms--petty kingdoms--and that's the era we're talking about here."Going back that far would mean dragons aren't present, as the prequel takes place thousands of years prior to Game of Thrones' events and predates the Targaryens. Though giant flying lizards won't command the skies, there are other creatures populating the massively-divided Westeros. "Obviously the White Walkers are here--or as they're called in my books, The Others--and that will be an aspect of it. There are things like direwolves and mammoths," Martin said.House Lannister wasn't established at this time, which means the Lannister family does not occupy Casterly Rock. There is another family ruling in the Lannister's stead. "It's actually occupied by the Casterlys--for whom it's still named after in the time of Game of Thrones," said Martin. While the Lannisters may not have existed, the Starks--descendants of the First Men--are still around. "The Starks will definitely be there," Martin said.Though high-profile stars like Watts and Denise Gough (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) will play recurring roles in the prequel, Martin doesn't call anyone a "lead," refraining from using the word because it's an ensemble cast. "As you know for Game of Thrones, we never even nominated anybody for lead actress or lead actor [during awards season] until recently; it was always for supporting [categories] because the show is such an ensemble," Martin told EW. "I think that will be true for this show too. We don't have leads so much as a large ensemble cast."Currently, the Game of Thrones prequel cast includes Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), Jamie Bower (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald), Toby Regbo (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald), and more.Info from Gamespot.com

Destiny 2 received a small update with its latest weekly reset, marking the beginning of the end of the game's Year Two content. The patch adds Moments of Triumph to the game that track your accomplishments over the last year, offering the opportunity to earn some new rewards, including an emblem, a Sparrow, a ship, and a new seal and title. Most notably, it quietly adds a quest for the Exotic pulse rifle Bad Juju to the game, and you can now get your hands on the returning weapon from the first Destiny.Update 2.5.1.1 is mostly about dishing out fixes, though. Chief among them is a fix for the Menagerie, the Season of Opulence's new activity. Like other activities, completing a run through the Menagerie allows players to open a chest at the end that dishes out special guns and armor--but thanks to a bug, since the launch of Opulence, you could open the Menagerie chest multiple times, gaining a bunch of extra rewards if you were quick. Bungie acknowledged the bug in a blog post back on June 27, giving players a week's warning to finish their Menagerie farms before issuing a fix.Everything new in Destiny 2 todayHow to start the Bad Juju questOther fixes in the patch include another Menagerie bug, which gave players credit for completing portions of its Gauntlet activity even if they died in the attempt. Gone are the days of quickly burning through the Menagerie with the Gauntlet, it seems. Bungie also knocked out a bug that made it possible to use one of the perks of Outbreak Prime, one of its new Exotic weapons, on enemies that were otherwise immune from damage.Not all the changes take away exploits for players, though. An issue with the new Crown of Sorrows Raid has been patched that should help runs go more smoothly, and a problem with the Exotic hand cannon Sturm, reinvigorated by pairing it with a new gun from the Menagerie, has also been ironed out. Check out the full patch notes below.Update 2.5.1.1.

With the latest weekly reset and the release of new update 2.5.1.1, Destiny 2's Menagerie glitch--an exploit that allowed players to farm its final rewards chest over and over--is dead. Bungie acknowledged its existence in a weekly blog post on June 27 and warned players that it would be addressed on July 9, but that in the meantime they were free to farm it to their hearts' content.As of today, the Menagerie's chest now functions as intended. The mode, one of the most recent pieces of significant content introduced to Destiny 2 as part of the first Annual Pass, puts a team of six through a series of encounters for the amusement of Calus, the big boss of the Leviathan Raid. At its end, players are able to open a chest to receive a piece of armor or a weapon that's dictated by the player. Of late, Bungie has moved toward allowing players to have a hand in deciding what types of rewards they receive in certain activities, and the Menagerie represents the latest step in that direction.Players acquire various runes and then insert them into what's known as the Chalice of Opulence. Rather than being left completely to chance, each slot and rune dictates a different thing, allowing you to influence what type of weapon you get and the types of rolls it comes with.How to start the Bad Juju Exotic questWhat's new in Destiny 2 today?Normally, a Menagerie run would permit you to open the final chest only once per run, consuming your chosen runes in the process. But through a bug, players could open the chest, make a short sprint, insert another set of runes into their Chalice, and then return to the chest to open it again before being booted out of the session. A run that would normally have only netted players a single reward could now spit out upwards of a half-dozen for those quick enough.Because you maintain only a limited level of control over the rolls on weapons, being able to quickly earn multiple rewards makes it easier to obtain those with the sought-after god rolls. With the release of this patch, you'll have to grind things out as Bungie intended.The full patch notes can be seen on Bungie's website. Some of the changes, including this one, could make some of the new Moments of Triumph more difficult to complete than they would have been previously. On the bright side, you can now get your hands on Bad Juju.Menagerie-Specific 2.5.1.1 Update Patch NotesPlayers will no longer be able to use their Chalice to gain multiple rewards within the same Menagerie runIn the Gauntlet encounter of the Menagerie, only living players will be given credit for completing a lapFixed an issue where Werner's weekly bounties no longer gave powerful rewardsFixed an issue where Rune Bonus II for the Chalice was not always refunding a runeFixed an issue causing the chests on the Barge to reset on SundayInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been announced that the sitcom will be moving to WarnerMedia's new offering when it launches in Spring 2020.The new service, which has been dubbed HBO Max, will also serve as home to HBO's and The CW's programming library, which will also be departing Netflix.

HBO's world-class programming leads the way, the quality of which will be the guiding principle for our new array of Max Originals, our exciting acquisitions, and the very best of the Warner Bros. libraries, starting with the phenomenon that is Friends."Friends and combined lineups of HBO and The CW aren't all you'll find on HBO Max, though.

There's another hidden Exotic weapon to chase in Destiny 2. Among the many new things today, the latest update to the game has added Bad Juju, another well-loved Destiny 1 weapon. Don't expect it to be shoved right in your face; you'll need to know where to go, and it all starts with a chest on Nessus. We've put together a guide on how to start the Bad Juju quest to help you understand how the process works.Bad Juju's existence in the game was revealed in the Moments of Triumph added to Destiny 2 with Update 2.5.1.1, which also added a fix to the Season of Opulence's Menagerie activity. It's listed in the "Exotic Arsenal" Triumph, alongside two other guns: Whisper of the Worm and Outbreak Perfected. Both of those guns were accessible only through hidden activities that players discovered in the game after an update like this one.Whisper and Outbreak are updated versions of Destiny 1 weapons, so it seems likely Bad Juju will be slightly different from what players remember. The powerful pulse rifle had some pretty sick capabilities, though: kills with the weapon could charge your Super, increase Bad Juju's damage, and reload part of the magazine, making it extremely effective.Getting Bad Juju involves a new location called the Tribute Hall that was added with update 2.5.1.1. To get started, you'll need to head to Nessus and visit Werner 99-40 and open the new treasure chest standing beside him, and then head to the Leviathan.Info from Gamespot.com

For superheroes, saving the day isn't always the end of the story--and sometimes not even Batman's protection can guarantee a happy ending. That's where The Outsiders, a brand new team formed by Bruce himself, come in. When Bruce rescued a family from horrific experiments and placed them into hiding personally, the nightmare should have been over--but, now, years later, members of the Barrera family are turning up dead and Bruce has called in the cleverly to see them to safety. With Black Lightning, Katana, The Signal, and Orphan in their line up, The Outsiders have been pitted against none other than Ra's Al-Ghul and the League of Assassins to try and stop the Barrera family's blood from being spilled.Check out this preview of issue #3, on sale this week, featuring the team facing down none other than Ra's himself, as they race against the clock to rescue Sofia Barrera from his clutches.Of course, this beg's the question: just what does Ra's want with Sofia? As one of Batman's most intelligent (and most deadly) foes, the motives of the Demon's Head are never quite what they seem. The Outsiders are on a ticking clock, and one tiny mistake could cost them everything.Batman and The Outsiders #3 by Bryan Edward Hill and Dexter Soy hits shelves everywhere comics are sold tomorrow.

The 2019 Moments of Triumph in Destiny 2 are now live, kicking off a seven-week celebration of Year 2 of Bungie's MMO shooter. As with previous Moments of Triumph, these essentially commemorate various tasks--some of which you may have already completed--and are tied to a set of new rewards, including a ship and sparrow. Here's what you need to know.The full slate of Moments of Triumph are now available. You can view them in-game by browsing to the Triumphs section of the director and looking for a new Seal (seen at the bottom-left of the screen) called Moments of Triumph: MMXIX.How to start the Bad Juju questWhat's new in Destiny 2 todayYou're sure to have at least a few Triumphs still to complete. One involves acquiring three secret weapons, including Bad Juju, which has just been added as part of the newly released update (which kills the Menagerie chest glitch). A few others are tied to Solstice of Heroes, another annual event that won't start until later this month. But there are plenty of others to work on in the meantime. You have until August 27 to complete these and earn the rewards, which are unlocked for completing set numbers of triumphs. Do enough, and there's even a real-world t-shirt you'll be able to purchase through the Bungie store.Moments Of Triumph 2019As noted above, you don't have to complete every single one of these to start earning rewards. Doing just one will net you an emblem. Here are all of the available triumphs; Bungie's blog post divided some of these into a separate Solstice of Heroes section, but several of these--such as Exotic Arsenal, which involves getting Bad Juju and two other Exotics--is doable now.
