Ghostbusters: Afterlife Gets New Release Date, And Don’t Breathe Sequel Date Announced

It has been 10 months since the first trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a movie that was originally going to hit theaters in July 2020. However, Sony has announced the movie is getting pushed back for a second time. In addition, the movie studio has revealed the release date for the sequel to Don’t Breathe.

In December 2019, we got our first look at the next movie in the Ghostbusters franchise–which takes place present day after the events of Ghostbusters II. Sony has announced that the film is being pushed back to June 11. Interestingly enough, this is the second weekend of June, which is the date when the first Ghostbusters debuted in 1984.

Additionally, the Don’t Breathe Sequel will be hitting theaters on August 13, 2021. Rodo Sayagues will co-write and direct the film. He also co-wrote the original alongside Don’t Breathe’s director Fede Álvarez. The Don’t Breathe follow-up was announced back in 2016. At this time, there is not much known about the film, but Álvarez has said he knows “exactly where it goes.”

Jared Leto’s Joker Refuses To Die, Is In Zack Snyder’s Justice League – Report

Just when you thought he was out, they pull him back in. Jared Leto is returning to the DC movie universe as the Joker once again–and it’s not for The Suicide Squad. Instead, Leto will evidently appear in the upcoming Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which will premiere on HBO Max in 2021.

The news comes from The Hollywood Reporter. Leto will reportedly be filming new scenes for Snyder’s cut of the Justice League movie. According to THR, filming of the new scenes is currently underway with other DC movie actors Ben Affleck (Batman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg), and Amber Heard (Mera) involved, among a long list of others.

This development comes a year after reports surfaced that Leto was unhappy Warner Bros. made a standalone Joker film with Joaquin Phoenix in the role. As previously mentioned, he also hasn’t been announced as appearing in James Gunn’s upcoming Suicide Squad sequel, while the Birds of Prey movie revealed that he and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) were no longer together.

WWE Being Investigated For Possible COVID-19 Hotspots

The Orange County Department of Health is investigating several buildings that are considered COVID-19 hotspots in the county. The buildings where WWE is running shows are part of that list.

F4WOnline is reporting that the Orange County Department of Health is asking its COVID-19 strike team to investigate 17 businesses where COVID-19 may be spreading. Well-known bars, a church, and two Crunch Fitness gyms are being looked at, but so are the big three WWE venues. The WWE Performance Center, Full Sail University, and the Amway Arena, all places WWE are currently holding events, are on the list.

In a statement, WWE said: “WWE is not open to the public, but rather operating on a closed set with only essential personnel in attendance. As part of on-going weekly testing protocols, Aventus Labs have administered more than 10,000 PCR tests to WWE performers, employees, production staff, and crew resulting in only 1.5 percent positive cases as compared to the current national average of more than 5%. Additionally, extensive contact tracing takes place and impacted individuals are placed in 14-day quarantine and then only cleared after they test negative.”

Darkest Dungeon 2 Coming To Epic Games Store in 2021

Being terrorized in an underground reliquary might not sound fun to everyone, but the stout RPG Darkest Dungeon has managed to garner a lot of players since its release in 2016. Now, after a barrage of DLC packs, developer Red Hook–note the Lovecraft reference–have announced that Darkest Dungeon 2 will be available in Early Access on the Epic Games Store in 2021.

Based on the trailer, players can expect a lot more in the way of darkness and plenty of dungeons in the sequel. Several of the pre-release materials reference your party of characters going on a “journey” rather than staying in one location, as they did in the first game. When Darkest Dungeon 2 was revealed in February 2019, the developer also noted that the team has increased from five to 14 in order to increase the game’s scale and quality.

In GameSpot’s Darkest Dungeon review, critic Daniel Starkey called the game an expertly-balanced take on the roguelike genre.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Features A Hooded Crimson Cowl Costume

We’ve already seen a couple of alternative costumes for Miles Morales ahead of his debut in Spider-Man: Miles Morales (even one including an adorable cat). But in a new tease for the PlayStation 5 title, Miles’ is sporting a new look that features a cowl.

Insomniac Games has released an excerpt from the in-game version of the Daily Bugle, with a piece focused on two new styles that Miles has been seen sporting around the city. The first should be familiar, with the T.R.A.C.K suit being one of the first alternative costumes revealed. But the second is entirely new, with Miles donning a hood in the Crimson Cowl costume.

In 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man, each costume featured unique abilities that could be used in combat. It’s not clear yet what abilities might be attributed to each of Miles’ outfits, but it’s presumably going to follow the same formula. Abilities could also be used with other costumes once unlocked, letting you look your best while fighting your best at the same time.
