Star Wars Battlefront caused a lot of controversy last year for a number of reasons. Battlefront may have been successful on a financial level (selling 14 million copies worldwide) but fans have been very vocal about their complaints with the game. One of the chief reasons was its lack of a single-player campaign.
Recently, EA’s executive vice president Patrick Söderlund spoke at a recent Investor’s Day event and addressed the complaints surrounding the lack of a single-player campaign. He said:
“The one thing that we got criticized for was the lack of a single-player campaign. It was a conscious decision we made due to time and being able to launch the game side-by-side with the movie that came out to get the strongest possible impact. I think the team created a really good game based on the premise that we had. I would say the game has done very well for us and reached a very different demographic than a traditional EA game. So from that perspective, it’s a success. Are we happy with the 75 rating? No. Is that something we’re going to cure going forward? Absolutely.”
Söderlund also added that they want to fix the issues going forward, saying:
“The depth and breadth is something that’s proving to be more and more important. In a world where we want $60 up front and we expect people to stay with us over the course of a long time, the depth of what we offer is important…. We have to go baStar Wars Celebration Europe in Julyck and course correct that for another version if we were ever to build one.”
Star Wars Battlefront II will reportedly be released next year. More information will likely be revealed at Star Wars Celebration Europe in July.
Thoughts on the reason? Are you hoping that the announced Star Wars Battlefront II will come with a single-player campaign?

The Knights of Ren were supposedly on location with Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) in Ireland last weekend. The scenes filmed are said to be for the planet seen at the end of The Force Awakens.
The scenes are described as follows:
It’s also rumoured that extensions of this set have been created at Pinewood Studios. This means that it’s likely that this scene will continue beyond what was shot in Ireland.

*Spoilers ahead for last week’s Legends of Tomorrow episode “Destiny”*.
Wentworth Miller (Leonard Snart/Captain Cold) will not be a series regular in the second season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow following his characters apparent death in last week’s episode “Destiny”.
The episode saw Cold sacrifice himself to save the rest of the team and destroy the Vanishing Point (thus resulting in the deaths of many of the Time Masters).
However, a new report indicates that he will become a regular in the “Berlantiverse”. Miller’s contract will allow him to appear as a recurring guest on at least The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow in as many episodes as if he were a regular on just one of the shows.
Producer Greg Berlanti was asked about the character and the DC TV shows. He said:
“One of the joys and advantages is that it allows us to change in essence who is on The Waverider and not. Flash and Arrow are very much about building one team, while there is an anthology element to Legends. He is a guy who was a villain at the beginning, finding the hero in him by the end.”

Warner Bros. are reportedly developing a Suicide Squad spin-off movie focusing on Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and other DC female villains and heroes.
Robbie is said to have signed on as a producer in addition to starring in the film. The movie is said to have a female screenwriter signed on as well (but who it is hasn’t been revealed).
The report states that “names such as Batgirl and Birds of Prey have surfaced, although in what capacity, it’s not clear.”
The source states:
“Sources say that Robbie was the impetus for the project, adding that when she got the part for the movie, she dove deep into the comics to learn as much as possible on the character. In the process, she fell for DC’s female characters. She brought on the writer to help develop the project and brought it to Warner, who snapped it up.”
No estimated release date for the movie has been announced.

X-Men producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: The Last Stand) has revealed that the version of Wolverine featured in X-Men: Apocalypse will be the Weapon X version.
On talking about fitting Wolverine into the movie, Kinberg said:
“We talked about a lot of different versions. There was a version where he got introduced in the middle of the movie and became this sort of drill sergeant for the kids, but that felt like it stepped on Raven’s role of becoming the leader to the kids. There were two or three different incarnations that we tried, but none of them felt quite right. As we were constructing the movie, we always imagined that they were abducted and taken [to Alkali Lake] and that Weapon X would be there and you’d see something that you’ve never really seen in these movies before which is the full on, out of control, animalistic, stripped down Wolverine.”
The last fans saw of Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past (set in 1973) was his waterlogged body being dragged up from the Potomac River by William Stryker (which turned out to be Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique in disguise).
X-Men: Apocalypse is set for release on May 27th.

Marvel Studios reportedly still has plans for the Inhumans movie, according to president Kevin Feige. This report comes just weeks after the movie’s release date was taken away from it.
The Inhumans movie was originally part of the Phase Three line-up. However, with the additions Spider-Man: Homecoming and Ant-Man and The Wasp changed plans for the line-up. Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Thor: Ragnarok had their release dates changed so it’s likely that Inhumans was moved to make way for the two new additions to the line-up.
Feige said:
“The only situation right now is that [Inhumans] is not gonna be a part of phase three because phase three increased in a very good way since we initially announced. When and where and how it pops up remains to be seen but its characters we love, it’s a storyline we love and we just didn’t want to cram it in to an already quite full phase three.”
The Inhumans movie was originally scheduled for November 2nd, 2018. It was then pushed back until July 12th, 2019, before having its release date taken away entirely.
Thoughts on this report? Are you hopeful that the Inhumans movie will still be released at some point?

*SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR FOLLOW*
Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier (played by Sebastian Stan) will reportedly be appearing in Marvel’s upcoming Black Panther movie.
There was a lot of action between Black Panther and The Winter Soldier in Captain America: Civil War. However, the characters eventually put their differences aside and in the mid-credits scene the latter was frozen in stasis at the former’s home kingdom of Wakanda. The decision was made by Bucky to keep himself in stasis until a cure for his brainwashing could be found.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was asked about the possibility of The Winter Soldier making an appearance in the Black Panther movie. He said:
“It… remains to be seen. He’s certainly in stasis there. Where and when he comes out? I’m not sure…”
The Black Panther movie is scheduled for release on February 16th, 2018. Captain America: Civil War is now in cinemas.
