Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber has said he won’t do an impression on the Halo TV show, suggesting he won’t try to replicate Steve Downes’ iconic voice from the video game series.

Writing on Twitter, Schreiber said, “I don’t do impressions, I play characters.” He said the video games focus on Master Chief the super-soldier, but the TV show will provide more depth and insight on the man under the helmet, John.

“I don’t do impressions, I play characters. While everyone knows the Master Chief, this show is an opportunity for all of us to get to know John,” he said. “Thank you for your kind words. We are all working incredibly hard to bring something to the screen that everyone can get behind.”

Ahead of the start of Apex Legends Chaos Theory, Respawn has renamed the new Wattson legendary skin that will be added during the event. Previously announced as the rather problematic Charged Conquistador, the skin will thankfully now be called Chaos Conductor.

“Thank you to folks who reached out about it and kept us honest,” Respawn director of community and communications Ryan Rigney tweeted. “This was an oversight that shouldn’t have happened.”

Respawn’s decision seems inspired by folks pointing out how uncomfortable they were with Respawn naming one of Wattson’s skins after the conquistadors, a group of white colonizers who are well-known for conquering countries through murder and slavery, and killing thousands of people through the spread of diseases. It’s not a good label to give to any of Apex Legends’ characters.

With his work on the Sons of Anarchy franchise complete, following his firing by FX in 2019, Kurt Sutter has set his sights on Netflix. The Sons of Anarchy creator and Mayans M.C. co-creator is teaming with Blumhouse for a movie that’s described as a drama but certainly sounds like a horror film.

According to a tweet from Netflix, This Beast is set in an “18th century English village besieged by a mysterious and elusive beast.” A longer description reads, “Dozens of innocents are slaughtered and the mayhem is driven to puritanical heights by religious fanaticism. The impossible task of killing the beast falls to a lowly trapper who promises he can stop the carnage. But for him this hunt is not a professional mission, it’s a deeply personal one. The idea was inspired by The Beast of Gévaudan, a true story about a mysterious beast that terrorized a French village in the 1760s.”

The Beast of Gévaudan story dates back to a French province in the 1700s. According to historical documents, over 100 people were reported to have been killed between 1764 and 1767, which many of the victims having been partially eaten. It’s believed the beast, itself, was wolves.

A Microsoft executive has said that there are more Xbox games coming this year that we don’t yet know about. In an interview with the Iron Lords podcast that focused on the Xbox Series X, Xbox’s director of program management Jason Ronald was asked what game he was most looking forward to in 2021. In response, he said the following: “Not all games that are releasing this year have been announced.”

While this certainly isn’t a surprise, given that there’s still a lot of 2021 left to go, it’s not clear if Ronald was referring to games made by Microsoft’s own Xbox Games Studios or any other studios that the console juggernaut owns, such as Halo developer 343 Industries. Ronald might also be referring to studios that Microsoft is in the process of buying, such as Bethesda.

Currently, Microsoft’s biggest release of the year is Halo Infinite, which is scheduled to come out in Fall 2021. The studio is also publishing Psychonauts 2, which doesn’t have a concrete release date, but is scheduled to come out in 2021, though it will also come to the PlayStation 4. However, in the above tweet, the GM of Xbox Games marketing recently said that there will be no announcements of major games like Elden Ring coming soon, so it’s not clear when we might get some more details on these upcoming games.

Halo’s transmedia boss Kiki Wolfkill has shared a few small updates on the long-in-development Halo TV show. Speaking to IGN, Wolfkill said the Halo franchise as an FPS is limited in terms of its storytelling opportunity since the main storyline focuses on one character: Master Chief. But with the TV show, there is an opportunity to widen the franchise and look at more characters and plot points. The steps that Microsoft is taking with the Halo TV show may not please everyone, Wolfkill also acknowledged in the interview.

“In a first-person shooter, there is only so much of a character journey because of that wanting to maintain some of that character for people to pour into him or her,” she said. “So TV gives us a long form ability to really focus on character and story in a way that’s harder to relay in a first-person game.”

Wolfkill alluded to this previously, saying the Halo TV show will be similar to Game of Thrones in terms of the “scope and scale and complexity of relationships.”

Since at least 2017, so much has been theorized, predicted, and argued about among critics and fans alike about what could have been with Zack Snyder’s fabled director’s cut of Justice League that it can be easy to forget there’s a fair amount we actually already know about the upcoming DC film. As its likelihood has progressed from a remote possibility to a sure thing to now an around-the-corner four-hour epic that will arrive in theaters on HBO Max on March 18, both the streaming service and director have released a treasure trove of promo videos, teasers, and clips that will give viewers a pretty good idea of what to expect–here, we’ve scooped up everything that’s been floating around so far.

What follows is a series of clips of varying length, working backwards chronologically from some short character trailers that have been released daily and will likely continue in the coming days. The most recent video is a Wonder Woman trailer, which, it should be pointed out, has been published on International Women’s Day, March 8. These clips do more than showcase costumes–in under a minute, each teaser strongly demonstrates how the character in the spotlight brings something different to the proverbial table when forming and protecting an alliance among superheroes. Check them all out below, followed by some more traditional trailers and the movie’s title opening.

After March 18, when Justice League is out in the wild, pretty much all questions will be answered–except for the fate of the promised multiple theatrical and home releases planned for the DC movie–including a black and white IMAX version. Snyder recently revealed that his version of Justice League will end on a cliffhanger, and given the extended ramp-up to the film, it would be reasonable to expect some other surprises and wrinkles in what might be next from Snyder with all this.

Tornadus is back in Pokemon Go for a limited time. The Legendary Cyclone Pokemon has returned to five-star Raids as part of the game’s Season of Legends. Not only does this give you another chance to catch the Legendary if you’ve previously missed it, but this time around you’ll also be able to encounter its Shiny form. If you need some assistance, we’ve rounded up some tips to help you beat and catch Tornadus below.

Tornadus Raid Schedule

Incarnate Forme Tornadus is appearing in five-star Raid Battles again until 8 AM local time on March 11, giving you only a couple of days to catch it. Before you can participate in a Tornadus Raid, you’ll need to have either a Raid Pass (to join the battle in-person) or a Remote Raid Pass (to join the battle remotely). Both are available to purchase, but you can also get one Remote Raid Pass as part of Niantic’s free weekly item bundles, which are available in Pokemon Go’s in-game shop every Monday in March.

Peacock is sharing more details about how it will integrate WWE’s content later this month when the WWE Network officially becomes part of the NBCUniversal streaming service. As announced back in January, and confirmed in a recent release with the exact timeline, Peacock will begin rolling out WWE Network content on March 18. The streaming service has also launched a landing page for the WWE Network.

While the landing page is as of this writing largely an FAQ about what will be available and when, the accompanying release indicates after launch it (and its counterpart on supported devices) will function as a portal “where fans can browse and access every PPV event in the last calendar year” and a wide variety of programming that includes “current or most recent season episodes of WWE original series Steve Austin’s The Broken Skull Sessions” plus “groundbreaking documentaries, including Undertaker: The Last Ride, WWE 24, and WWE Untold.”

If you’re a fan and haven’t yet made the switch, there are two crucial things to note. The first is that the WWE will sunset the existing standalone WWE Network app in the United States on April 4. The other is the March 18 rollout of WWE Network on Peacock means there’s a short runway to get in and set up before Fastlane–the first WWE pay-per-view event on the service–is available to stream on March 21.

Director Zack Snyder is continuing to release teaser videos for his upcoming cut of Justice League, so far maintaining the pace of one new quick look at a different superhero per day. On the heels of last week’s videos of Batman and Superman, Snyder has recently tweeted videos of Aquaman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman–each clocking in at just under a minute. Wonder Woman’s trailer, it should be pointed out, has been published on International Women’s Day, March 8. The four-hour epic will arrive in theaters on HBO Max on March 18.

With a total of five of these videos now out, a clear recurring theme in each of them are the hardships, opportunities, and complications each hero faces in forming and protecting an alliance among superheroes. Where Superman’s more showcased his infamous black suit and Batman’s hinted at his desire to bring more unity to the land, these three newcomers hit much harder on each hero’s desire to overcome their fears about a world being worse off without them stepping up. Check them out below.

Given the expansive roster of characters in Snyder’s cut of Justice League, it would be safe to assume we will likely be seeing more of these in the run up to March 18. Similarly, fans would likely be best advised to pace themselves when it comes to expectations of what the four-hour epic will all entail–Snyder recently revealed that his version of Justice League will end on a cliffhanger. Snyder has said he’s made peace with the fact that the film’s loose threads will likely never be properly addressed, but he’s also said there are multiple theatrical and home releases planned for the DC movie–including a black and white IMAX version.
