Vin Diesel Hints at a Two-Part Fast & Furious Finale

Vin Diesel hints at a two-part Fast & Furious finale

The Fast & Furious franchise has been around longer than some of its diehard fans have even been alive and while the tenth film is planned to be the conclusion to the mainline series, star Vin Diesel has now suggested to Total Film that the finale could actually be split into two films.

“I started planning for Fast 10 before we started filming Fast 9, very much so,” Diesel said. “The universe is so robust and so rich with talent and rich with story that, on one level, it’s totally feasible to have spinoffs, and I think that’s something that is inevitable. Universal deserves it because of how much they’ve invested in this little saga, and it’d be good to give back to Universal. And for the fans, should Fast 10 parts one and two be the conclusion, it would be nice for this world to continue for generations to come.”

The franchise has seen one spin-off in the form of last year’s Hobbs & Shaw, which received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike and grossed over $760 million on a $200 million budget, and discussions have been made surrounding a possible sequel to the film. The Dwayne Johnson-Jason Statham-led feature is reportedly one of three spin-offs in development, with a film focused on the female leads of the series supposedly in the works as well as an unknown third project.

Fast & Furious 9 was originally set to hit theaters on April 19 but was pushed back a year to make room for the first spin-off in the series, Hobbs & Shaw, which had premiered last August. As a result, Fast & Furious 9 will be getting a May 22, 2020 release with Justin Lin returning to directing in the franchise, after helming Fast & Furious parts 3 through 6. Dan Casey will pen the screenplay based on Lin’s story alongside series mastermind Chris Morgan.

The film will feature the return of Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pierce, Ludacris as Tej Parker, Enrique Guzman as Simon Toretto, Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, Helen Mirren as Magdalene Shaw and Charlize Theron as Cipher. John Cena, Finn Cole, Anna Sawai, Vinnie Bennett, and Michael Rooker have also been cast for the latest installment.

Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin Cast as Superman and Lois’ Sons on The CW

Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin Cast as Superman and Lois’ Sons

One of the big changes coming out of Crisis on Infinite Earths is that Superman/Clark Kent now have two sons, instead of one. The CW is currently casting lead roles for the upcoming Superman and Lois series, and the first two performers have been picked to portray Superman’s kids.

Via Deadline, Jordan Elsass (top left) and Alexander Garfin (top right) will portray Jonathan and Jordan Kent, respectively. This is a departure from the DC Comics canon, which only features Jonathan Kent as Lois and Clark’s son. In the DC Rebirth era, Jonathan became the new Superboy. Jordan is apparently an invention for the show.

According to the report, “Elsass’ Jonathan is clean-cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated.” In contrast, “Garfin’s Jordan is wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limits his interactions with people.” It also notes that “Jordan prefers to spend most of his free time alone, playing video games.”

Elsass will appear in Hulu’s upcoming miniseries, Little Fires Everywhere, alongside Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. Garlin is best known for voicing Linus in The Peanuts Movie, in addition to his appearance in Law & Order: SVU.

Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch will reprise their respective roles as Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The CW has already ordered Superman and Lois straight-to-series, and it may premiere as soon as this fall.

New Poster Shared for Marvel’s THE NEW MUTANTS Embraces the Horror Vibe

new-poster-shared-for-marvels-the-new-mutants-social.jpg

We’ve got a new poster to share with you for director Josh Boone’s upcoming Marvel movie The New Mutants. I’ve been curious to see how hard Disney and Marvel planned on pushing the marketing for this film. So far, it’s been light, but maybe that’ll change the closer it gets to the April release date.

I’m actually pretty excited about this film, and I hope that it ends up being as good as I’ve heard it is. If it is good, I’d love to see it be a solid box office hit. If you haven’t seen the latest trailer for the film yet, you can check that out here.

The poster below features Anya Taylor-Joy as Magik, Charlie Heaton as Cannonball, Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane, Henry Zaga as Sunspot, and Blu Hunt as fallen Mirage. It certainly embraces the horror vibe of the movie.

Here’s the synopsis:

20th Century Fox in association with Marvel Entertainment presents “The New Mutants,” an original horror thriller set in an isolated hospital where a group of young mutants is being held for psychiatric monitoring. When strange occurrences begin to take place, both their new mutant abilities and their friendships will be tested as they battle to try and make it out alive.

It’s explained in the trailer that this place the mutants are in is not a hospital. It takes their greatest fear and makes them live through it until it kills them. The version of the film we will be seeing has been confirmed to be the original cut that the director intended to release.

New Mutants is still scheduled to be released in theaters on April 3rd, 2020.

But when John Ambrose (Jordan Fisher), another recipient of one of Lara Jean’s old love letters, enters her life again she must rely on herself more than ever as she’s confronted with her first real dilemma: Can she love two boys at the same time?

Blizzard Reveals How They Plan to Address Some Problems in WARCRAFT III: REFORGED and Are Offering Refunds to Disappointed Players

The launch of Warcraft III: Reforged has been shaky at best. Fans are feeling abandoned and cheated. Well, Blizzard seems to be taking some steps in the right direction. According to Polygon, fans can submit tickets to Blizzard’s support team and get a refund. This is a great start to extending an olive branch, but it’s not all.

If you’re willing to be patient with the game, Blizzard recently released a statement on their forum addressing some of the concerns fans have had and how they’re going to handle them. For instance, leaderboards and clans will be coming to the game and returning to non-Reforged games as well. The catch has been a transition to their new MMR system on the back-end. They say they’ll update fans in the coming weeks as that work progresses. Once again, another great start to repairing relations with the fans. My only note is that I think many fans would’ve preferred a simple delay to the launch to receiving what feels like an incomplete title.

Are these steps in the right direction good enough to convince you to get the game? Is it not enough and you’ll be returning it? What has your experience with Reforged been like?

“Hail War3 Players,

We’ve been following the discussions the past couple days and want to thank you for your feedback as well as your support. First off, we want to say we’re sorry to those of you who didn’t have the experience you wanted, and we’d like to share our plans for what’s coming next.

There were a few hours during launch day where we experienced server-load issues that impacted players’ ability to jump right in, but we were able to resolve those later in the day. Separate from that, we’ve seen community feedback about different aspects of Reforged that we wanted to take some time to address.

Before we go on: the team is excited that Warcraft III: Reforged is finally upon us and we’re fully committed to supporting the game for a long time to come. The next few patches and updates we’ll discuss below are just part of our ongoing plans. This game is an integral part of the Blizzard DNA, with a team that loves Warcraft III, and we’re looking forward to pouring our hearts into Reforged and the Warcraft III community for the long term.

One of the concerns with Reforged that we’ve seen are the visuals when selecting Classic Mode. We’ve identified the bug causing the colors and shading to look different from the original Warcraft III, and we’re testing a fix that will be incorporated in a larger patch addressing this issue and others. We expect to release that late this week. The patch will also address many other known issues, such as fixing some portrait animations and audio bugs, implementing some UI fixes, and more. Please keep an eye out for the patch notes for a detailed list of all the bug fixes.

Another area of concern we’re seeing is regarding online features such as leaderboards and clans, which applies to all Warcraft III players, including those who haven’t purchased Reforged. At BlizzCon we talked a lot about how the team is actively working on standing up the back-end to ensure a smooth transition to this new MMR system, much like we did with StarCraft: Remastered. As with Remastered, these and other features will be included in a major patch for Reforged, which will also address the issue for players of the original game. We’ll share release plans as work progresses in the coming weeks—please be assured that the team is hard at work on standing these features up.

There are some individual concerns we’ve seen that we’re not currently planning to address and we wanted to give the community a heads-up. As of Version 1.30 of the original game, we saw very low usage of tournaments and of the Reign of Chaos ruleset, so we removed both in mid-2019 (in Version 1.31). Eliminating the maintenance for underused elements has helped us streamline our overall support of the game and focus on areas impacting the most players. That said, we do anticipate that players who prefer Reign of Chaos will find custom games with similar rulesets, which we hope will help satisfy that concern.

Related to that, as we talked about last year at BlizzCon, we did not want the in-game cutscenes to steer too far from the original game. We went a little deeper into the thought process behind that at the show, but the main takeaway is that the campaigns tell one of the classic stories in Warcraft history, and we want to preserve the true spirit of Warcraft III and allow players to relive these unforgettable moments as they were (albeit rebuilt with new animations and the higher fidelity art).

We know this update doesn’t address all questions, but we’re committed to the development and support of this game. We hope you’ll keep an eye out for this week’s patch and future updates and let us know what you think as we continue fine-tuning things. Until then, thank you as always for your support and passion for Warcraft III. We appreciate all your feedback and will continue to keep the Warcraft III community updated on everything we’re working on.

Sincerely,

The Warcraft III: Reforged Team”
