A recent rumour that Godzilla and King Kong would appear in a film together had a number of fans sceptical, but now the news has been made official- the two franchises will be merged bringing two giants onto the big-screen together.
A trilogy of films will bring the two together: Kong: Skull Island is scheduled for release on March 10th, 2017. Godzilla 2 is set to follow a year later on June 8, 2018. The two iconic giants will finally have their epic battle in Godzilla vs. Kong, set for release in 2020 (not no official date has been confirmed).
Legendary CEO Thomas Tull is quoted as saying the following:
“Audiences really responded to Godzilla. Today, I’m excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I’ve always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we’re pleased to be announcing that and more.”
On top of Tull’s statement, Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara had the following to add:
“Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with `Godzilla. It’s great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
Marvel and Netflix have already built up a great relationship after the release of Daredevil’s first season (and Jessica Jones premiering next month). While Netflix also has Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders confirmed for release, they may be adding to their list of upcoming Marvel shows.

Star Wars: Battlefront’s beta may have closed (with over nine million fans trying out the beta before the game is released next month), but more news regarding one of this year’s most anticipated video-games has been released.
To start off, EA announced a season pass that will coincide with the game. A description of the season pass from EA reads as follows:

Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass owners will also secure two-week early access to each expansion pack and an exclusive “Shoot First” emote.”
On top of the season pass announcement, EA also revealed four new modes for the game:
Cargo – A thrilling tug-of-war experience for fans of Star Wars and capture the flag gameplay. Cargo challenges your team to capture valuable cargo boxes from the opposing team. Get the loot and make your way back to your base – but don’t forget to defend your own precious cargo as each capture counts.

Heroes vs Villains – The most valiant Heroes and cunning Villains of the galaxy are clashing in this epic Star Wars Battlefront mode. Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and other iconic characters will be part of your team together with ground troopers. Keep your Heroes and Villains alive to score points and win the battle.
Hero Hunt – Seven Imperials against Luke Skywalker? Seven Rebels battling it out against Boba Fett? In Hero Hunt, one player will experience the thrill of playing as an iconic Star Wars Battlefront Hero or Villain, facing off against ground troops from the opposing faction.

Treyarch’s recent Call of Duty video-games have become known for their Zombie modes, and this year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be no different.
Treyarch and Activision have released the prologue trailer for a new Zombies mode that will feature in the game, called Zombies- Shadows of Evil.
You can watch the trailer below:
A synopsis of the mode reads as follows:
“Shadows of Evil introduces four unwitting characters who must uncover the secrets and challenges laid out for them by a shadowy figure, who offers them a path to redemption. Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough, and Ron Perlman star in Shadows of Evil, a new survival co-op experience only available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Unravel the secrets and explore a massive 1940s, film noir-inspired world in the deepest Zombies experience to date.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is scheduled for release on November 6th.
Two of the characters fans liked most in the first season of Gotham were Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin) and Edward Nygma (The Riddler), so fans were very excited when they shared a brief scene in the episode “The Scarecrow”. While their encounter then may have been brief, Robin Lord Taylor has confirmed that the two characters will team up at some point in the second season.
Taylor, who plays Cobblepot, is quoted as saying the following:
“I think I can also say that Nygma and Penguin will come back together in some major ways this season, and it’s really exciting.”
Neal McDonough’s Damien Darhk has already been a hit on Arrow, but now it has been confirmed that the character will show up in two of The CW’s other DC shows- The Flash and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow.
McDonough is quoted as saying the following:
“You go back to the League — I did an episode of Legends last week — and I look exactly the same in 1975 but you see he’s not as confident and doesn’t have such an agenda forty years ago as he does now. So it’s fun to play the different times, you know? Going back in time with Legends, and The Flash, with The Flash, I’m just this crazy, fun, enjoy everything while I kill everybody type of character. It’s just nuts.”
Thoughts on this news? Are you excited to see Darhk show up in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow?
