For those of you who are fans of HBO’s Spawn: The Animated Series, you’ll be happy to learn that Keith David will return to provide the voice of Spawn again in Mortal Kombat 11! The character was officially revealed to be a part of the upcoming Kombat Pack, which also includes characters like Joker and The Terminator.

Keith David himself made the announcement on Twitter:

I’m a huge fan of David and he’s done some iconic film and TV work over the course of his career. He also provided the voice of Goliath in Disney’s classic animated series Gargoyles. It’s awesome that he is going to be playing Spawn again, and I hope this isn’t the last time!

Spawn will be available when the Kombat Pack is released on March 17th, 2020. Yeah, we’ve got a long way to go, but it’ll be worth the wait! When talking about Spawn in the game, Todd McFarlane said:

“I haven’t seen them all fully polished, but what I did see was pretty awesome. I encourage them to basically go as crazy as … My only comment would be it wasn’t crazy enough, so go crazy. If you’ve seen any of that game you know they can get pretty crazy.”

Mortal Kombat 11 is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

We’ve got some never before seen footage for you to check out from behind the scenes of Avengers: Endgame that was released this past weekend at D23. We recently reported that the Russo Bros. ultimately decided against including footage of the transformation of Professor Hulk in Avengers: Endgame. It didn’t make the cut, as it just wasn’t necessary to the movie’s progression, but we can see some of that footage that was released now! Check it out below, and let us know what you think.

Netflix has released the first trailer for their upcoming film The King, which is inspired by elements of Shakespeare’s Henry IV and Henry V. The story follows “a young, disgraced prince named Hal, who “inherits the crown and must learn what it means to be a king, guided by his one true friend, Falstaff.”

The film has an impressive cast that includes Timothée Chalamet in the lead role and he is joined by Ben Mendelsohn as King Henry IV, Robert Pattinson as The Dauphin, Sean Harris as William, Lily-Rose Depp in the role of Princess Catherine,Tom Glynn-Carney as Hotspur, and Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie as Philippa.

The film was directed by David Michod (Animal Kingdom, The Rover) and this is the synopsis that was released:

Hal (Timothée Chalamet), wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne, has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But when his tyrannical father dies, Hal is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape. Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life — including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the ageing alcoholic knight, John Falstaff (Joel Edgerton).

The King looks like a great film and it will debut on Netflix sometime in 2019.

Netflix mob movie The Irishman finally sets theatrical release

After weeks of back-and-forth with theater chains, the Netflix mob movie The Irishman has finally set its big-screen release schedule.

According to Variety, director Martin Scorsese wanted a more traditional rollout in theaters, but will instead have to settle for what’s becoming known as the Netflix release. It will open in select theaters on November 1, and gradually increase the number of screens until it drops on the streaming platform on November 27. It’s also being reported that the film will have a similar run to last year’s Oscar-winning Roma, which will screen in about 150 theaters stateside, and roughly 1200 more abroad.

Robert De Niro headlines The Irishman as mob hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, reputed to have carried out more than 25 murders. Al Pacino will portray infamously slain labor leader Jimmy Hoffa in what will mark the Academy Award winner’s first time working with Scorsese.

It has also been reported that The Irishman may employ extensive (and expensive) digital de-aging techniques so the older actors can portray their characters through the decades. Joe Pesci will portray Pennsylvania Mafia boss Russell Bufalino, who may have had a hand in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. Ray Romano will play another member of the same crime family, Bill Bufalino.

The Irishman will begin its theatrical rollout starting November 1, and will premiere on Netflix starting November 27. It will have its official premiere at the New York Film Festival next month.
