Tenet Star Reveals If His Character Could Beat Up His Dad’s Character From The Equalizer

Growing up, you probably heard the old “my dad could beat up your dad” line from some random child on the playground. However, on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, guest host Samuel L. Jackson took that idea a step further, asking the star of Tenet, John David Washington, if his character could beat up one of his father’s characters.

Washington has known Jackson his whole life, so it was a very friendly and down-to-Earth interview, like two old friends having a chat. Then, Jackson asked if Washinton’s character in Tenet–called Protagonist–could beat up Denzel Washington’s The Equalizer. “Because of the rules of inversion, Protagonist [would win],” Washington told Jackson. “There’s a sci-fi element that we have that Equalizer didn’t have—that gives him the edge.”

Washington tried to dance around a little about why his character could beat up his father’s character, as he can’t say much about the film. “So you’re hitting us with a riddle,” replied Jackson. “So now we got to go to the movie and make up our own minds whether The Equalizer can kick your ass or not.”

Disney+’s She-Hulk TV Show Casts Orphan Black Star For Title Role – Report

You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry–or litigating. Progress is being made on the She-Hulk live-action series, which was first announced at the D23 convention in 2019, even though you might have forgotten it was happening. According to a new report, the title role of She-Hulk has been cast.

Deadline says that Tatiana Maslany, who most will remember as the star of Orphan Black, has been picked to take on the role of Jennifer Walters, an attorney and the cousin of Bruce Banner. She becomes She-Hulk after a transfusion gives her some of Bruce’s blood.

Don’t expect another rage monster like what MCU fans have seen for most of Mark Ruffalo’s run as the Hulk, though. Instead, Jennifer Walters is a lot more like the Hulk, as portrayed in Avengers: Endgame, allowing her to keep her personality and mind for the law even when hulked out.

Chainsaw Battle from Mandy Has Been Turned Into An Official Statue

There’s the common saying how iron sharpens iron, but is there an equivalent about chainsaw on chainsaw? In the climax of Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy, an enraged and blood-covered Nicolas Cage picks up a chainsaw and battles it out with a much bigger man who also happens to be holding a much bigger chainsaw.

The memorable chainsaw fight is now captured in a brand-new collectible statue from Legion M and crafted by Level 52 studios, out this December. Just take a look below.

It captures the intensity and raw violence Cage’s Red Miller experienced throughout the film that gave horror fans one of the most insane duels ever.

PS5 Won’t Get An Xbox Game Pass Competitor, Says PlayStation Boss

Following on from Sony’s PlayStation 5 Showcase, where the console’s price was finally revealed, PlayStation chief Jim Ryan has made it clear once again that there are no plans to launch a competitor to Xbox Games Pass.

Microsoft offers the subscription service across both Xbox and PC, giving players over 100 games to download and play for as little as $10 a month. The kicker is that all of Microsoft’s exclusives launch day and date on Games Pass, which is something Ryan doesn’t see as sustainable.

“These games cost many millions of dollars, well over $100 million, to develop. We just don’t see that as sustainable,” Ryan said in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz.

Just A Few Months After Launch, Disintegration’s Multiplayer Is Already Shutting Down

Disintegration, the sci-fi shooter from Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, is losing all its multiplayer modes over the next few months. Developer V1 Interactive said the game didn’t build enough of a player base in order to sustain online multiplayer.

“We stand by the creative risks taken to launch such a unique, genre-bending game created by this small but talented and passionate team,” a post on the studio’s official site read. “While our player base showed interest in the single player campaign, the game unfortunately struggled to build a significant audience necessary for a compelling multiplayer experience. After weighing options, we have collectively made the decision to sunset the multiplayer support.”

The studio has already removed the in-game store where players could purchase cosmetics. The other multiplayer modes will be removed “in phases” up until November 17.

Xbox Series S Quick Resume Feature Highlighted In New Trailer

As previously revealed for the Xbox Series X, Microsoft has shown off the Quick Resume feature for the company’s Series S as well in a new trailer.

The feature lets you seamlessly switch between multiple games without exorbitant loading screens or startup times. With Quick Resume, you can play one game, pause that one to pick up your progress in a completely different game, and repeat without any hiccups. The trailer, embedded below, shows someone switching between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Minecraft Dungeons, Skate 3, Black, and back to Jedi Fallen Order with only a few seconds of delay between each swap.

The trailer is reminiscent of the Xbox Series X Quick Resume demo that dropped in March 2020. That video showed someone swapping between State of Decay 2, Forza Motorsport 7, Ori and the Blind Forest, The Cave, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, and back to State of Decay 2 with no issues.
