Although last year’s Captain America: Civil War was packed with Marvel superheroes, Thor and Hulk were nowhere to be seen. But the pair are finally reunited in Thor: Ragnarok, which hits theaters next month.
A first clip has been released, and it shows the pair meeting for the first time since 2014’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. Unfortunately, the Hulk doesn’t exactly look pleased to see his old friend–check it out below:
Thor: Ragnarok stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Cate Blanchett plays the villainous Hela, while Jeff Goldblum will appear as immortal games-playing Grandmaster. It hits theaters on November 3, 2017.
The film is directed by Taika Waititi, who previously helmed small-scale New Zealand comedies such as What We Do in the Shadows and The Hunt for the Wildepeople. In a recent interview with Slashfilm, Waititi spoke about the challenges of trying to balance his own filmmaking sensibilities with the demands of making a massive movie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“There’s definitely a challenge with wanting be true to what the fans want, and to the universe itself,” he said. “But also, I have to keep reminding myself that I was hired for a reason, and I think one of those reasons is because of the kind of stories I tell, and the kind of films that I’ve made previously. Obviously it has to be me trying to unify my type of storytelling with this kind of content, and hopefully it all comes out really nicely in the end.”
“I don’t want to make an episode of some other larger thing,” he continued. “I know that it will lead [to other things] and all the pieces will fit together. But it’s not my job to make sure they fit together. It’s not my job to make sure that all this makes sense three movies down the tracks for one of the other franchises. My job is to make a film that can sit alone as a standalone piece, that obviously I’ll be proud of.
“But if it’s the only Marvel film you see that it’s also a great story in and of itself. The lucky thing is that there are a bunch of geniuses who run Marvel who make sure that, even if it’s a standalone piece, it is part of a great big jigsaw puzzle that could be appreciated as a whole as well.”

Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s new trailer will be released today, Oct. 9, just a couple of months ahead of the film’s full release. But if you’re looking to go in completely free of spoilers, the film’s director Rian Johnson has a suggestion.
Ahead of the trailer’s debut, and preorder tickets going on sale, Johnson tweeted in response to a fan’s concern about whether the trailer should be avoided to keep the moviegoing experience as fresh and surprising as possible.
“I a
legitimately torn. If you want to come in clean, absolutely avoid it. But it’s gooooood…..,” Johnson wrote.

The latest Pokemon giveaway from Sun and Moon has now begun. For a limited time, players have a chance to add the Mythical Pokemon Marshadow to their teams, making this the first time the rare Fighting/Ghost-type Pokemon has been available in the games.
To claim your Marshadow, US players will have to pick up a free download code from a GameStop store; those in the UK, meanwhile, will have to visiting “participating retailers” for their free code. Marshadow comes at level 50 and is equipped with Marshadium Z, which allows it to use the exclusive Z-Move Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike once per battle. It also knows the following attacks:
As with previous distributions, to redeem your code, you’ll need to select the Mystery Gift option from the games’ main menu and choose to receive your gift via code/password. Enter the download code you picked up and you’ll be able to retrieve Marshadow from the deliveryman waiting inside any Pokemon Center in Alola. Codes for Marshadow will only be available until October 23, so you’ll want to visit a store soon if you hope to get one.
In addition to Marshadow, Pokemon Sun and Moon players can also still receive a free Charizard for a limited time. To get the popular Fire-type, visit the electronics section of a participating Target store by October 14 to pick up a free download code. Today is also the last day you can receive the a special Pikachu wearing Ash’s cap from the Sinnoh region.

You’ve had three years to recover, but on October 13–a Friday the 13th to boot–Bethesda will invite players back to The Evil Within. Nothing will ever really make players truly ready for what twisted horrors are on the way, but here five things that might let you sleep a little better at night in the meantime.
While the first game’s ending gave the impression protagonist Sebastian Castellanos might still have a bit of a Ruvik problem, The Evil Within 2 will go a different direction. Sebastian, fired from the police force for all his crazy talk about terrifying hell dimensions and giant guys wielding meat tenderizers, finds out that his daughter is still alive and is being held captive by shady corporation Mobius. She’s being used to power a new STEM machine, which for those just tuning in, can create virtual worlds generated by the user’s mind, ideally controlled by a greater, “parent” minds.
Lily’s mind has created the small town of Union which, because this is The Evil Within, is now falling apart and playing host to a neverending nightmare. Sebastian is now on a quest to go to Union to save her, because what has ever gone wrong for a survival horror protagonist going to an evil town to rescue his daughter?
Compared to the linear corridors and claustrophobic spaces of the first game, the city of Union widens its perspective a bit, which gives players massive areas to traverse, with multiple ways to advance the story, backtrack, and find side missions. A new item, The Communicator, will help Sebastian with navigation and finding these new exploration opportunities. Not that the alternate paths are likely to be any less traumatizing, but it’s nice to have options.
Sebastian’s last trek into a STEM controlled mind had him going it mostly solo, with Ruvic scattering his team at every given opportunity. This time, he’ll have a little more help from the sidelines, with fairweather double agent Juli Kidman providing a friendly voice over Sebastian’s radio. And the Mobius forces stranded in Union may be more willing to put a bullet into the screeching beasts coming for their vital organs than they are putting one into Sebastian.
As it is with a lot of releases, the question’s come up of whether Switch-owning folks should sit back and hold out for the horror to come to the console/handheld hybrid. Gamespot managed to get Shinji Mikami, who directed Evil Within, but stepped into the producer role for the sequel, to weigh in. The short version? Maybe.
“I think a Switch version would be interesting. I’d like to try it if I had the chance. First I’d like to buy a Switch myself. I had to borrow Zelda with the Switch from another staff member to play it.”
While Sebastian might have a few allies also dedicated to the cause of getting out of Union alive, there are at least two folks walking the streets who happen to think things are just fine as it is. Namely, Father Theodore, a priest who has his eye on making hell a place on Earth, and Stefano Valentino, a photographer who believes Lily could be the key to making a bloody art horror masterpiece.

Fear Effect Sedna, the crowdfunded sequel to the original action adventure game, will be released in early 2018.
The launch window was revealed on Twitter, along with the announcement that, in addition to Xbox One, PS4, and PC, the game will also be released for Nintendo Switch.
Fear Effect Sedna is being developed by French indie studio Sushee. The game had a successful Kickstarter campaign last year, and is said to be a new Fear Effect with completely new gameplay, rather than being Fear Effect 3.
