We’ve been hearing rumblings about some sort of Harry Potter game for a while now, and there was even some leaked footage from what appeared to be a free-roaming title set in Hogwarts not too long ago. Well, we now know that it’s called Hogwarts Legacy and is set in the 1800s!

The trailer hints that we can look forward to learning spells, exploring Hogsmeade, and even travelling across the countryside courtesy of some Fantastic Beasts. It definitely looks like a free roaming game, and for Harry Potter fans, that should make it unmissable. 

“Experience a new story set at Hogwarts in the 1800s,” reads the brief synopsis for Hogwarts Legacy. “Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Make allies, battle Dark wizards and decide the fate of the wizarding world.”

If we’re given the chance to choose between heading down the path of good and evil, this should be a blast, and while all we know right now is that it’s being released in 2021, this first footage definitely points to it being a must-have title. Hopefully, we’ll get to see a lot more from it soon.

Vertical Entertainment recently acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Henchmen, a new animated feature from writer and director Adam Wood. With a star-studded cast that includes Thomas Middleditch, James Marsden, Rosario Dawson, Alfred Molina, Nathan Fillion, and Craig Robinson, this should definitely be worth checking out on VOD/Digital on October 9th.

Based on a story by Jay D. Waxman and Adam Wood, Henchmen is set in a world of super-villains, evil schemes and global domination – but someone has to take out the trash. Welcome to the world of Henchmen, third class.

When Lester (Middleditch), a fresh-faced recruit, joins the Union of Evil, he is assigned to a motley crew of blue-collar workers led by fallen henchmen Hank. But when Lester accidentally steals a super villain’s ultimate weapon, Hank must break his risk-nothing code to save the boy he’s befriended, even if it means becoming the one thing he has always avoided: a hero.

Superhero movies have sadly been few and far between this year, so this animated adventure should be a breath of fresh air, and the trailer points to it being a funny, action-packed adventure. 

That A-List cast is also impossible to ignore, and there are plenty of comic book movie veterans involved.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is shooting again in Atlanta, Georgia, and after a socially distanced set photo from Sebastian Stan yesterday, we finally get to see the what was on the other side of his lens. Shared by Anthony Mackie on Twitter, the image offers perhaps our best (and definitely highest resolution) shot of The Falcon to date. 

It’s an undeniably badass costume, but one he’s unlikely to wear for long if rumors and theories that Sam Wilson will eventually wield the shield as Captain America are, in fact, correct. 

Initially, John Walker’s U.S. Agent will take on the role of Captain America in Steve Rogers’s absence, but whether he’s actually on the side of the angels is uncertain, especially if Baron Zemo is pulling the new super soldier’s strings. That’s purely speculation for the time being, however.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier doesn’t have a premiere date, and if claims that Black Widow is being postponed are correct, it could end up being shifted down the calendar like the rest of Marvel Studios’s Phase 4 slate (especially if Black Widow needs to be seen before the Disney+ TV series).

Olivia Wilde, a recent guest on the Shut Up Evan podcast, declined to say much about Spider-Woman, her most recently announced project at Sony Pictures. However, she did name drop Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, a possible indication that he’s involved with the project.

The wording of Wilde’s statement is leading some MCU fans to speculate that Feige is actually overseeing the film, and that Spider-Woman will be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

When asked about Spider-Woman, Wilde replied, “All I can say is that is by far the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me. Not only do I feel like I get to tell a story that…God, it’s like listen to me trying to avoid Kevin Feige’s pellet gun.“

Does Marvel and Sony have a deal in place similar to the terms that allowed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to swing into the MCU? After all, there was a chance that the web-crawler could have left the MCU post Far From Home. Well before Wilde signed on to direct, there was a rumor back in March (just before the world went crazy due to COVID-19) that Feige was interested in bringing Jessica Drew into the MCU in much the same fashion that Peter Parker arrived.

You can listen to Wilde’s appearance on the Shut Up Evan podcast below. While her comments are by no means confirmation, social media is already running with the idea, developing numerous ways that Spider-Woman could be introduced in the MCU.
