Star Wars: Liam Neeson Says Disney Hasn’t Approached Him About Playing Qui-Gon Jinn Again

If an actor has ever starred in a Marvel, DC, or Star Wars film, it’s only a matter of time before people start asking when they’ll play that character again. Liam Neeson has played countless memorable roles over the years, but for many, he’s Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn before he’s Ra’s Al Ghul, Rob Roy, or the guy in Taken. But Disney hasn’t yet approached Neeson about reprising the role, the actor said in an interview with Collider.

Neeson said that while he’s done the voice of Jinn a few times since filming Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, there hasn’t yet been any talk of donning the Jedi robes again.

“On film, I haven’t been approached, no,” Neeson said. “I haven’t really been following them, to be honest. I don’t know if they’ve come to an end. I heard they did a film of Harrison [Ford]’s character, Han Solo, and that there was a bit of trouble with that. What do you think? Are Star Wars fans finished with it? Neeson did acknowledge, though, that Disney+ opens up new possibilities for something like this.

Microsoft has shared some new images and details about Halo Infinite, including new customization information surrounding the game’s “coating” system.

Coating is Microsoft’s terminology for weapon, character, and vehicle skins for Halo Infinite. A coating is a seven-layer shader that can feature different colors, materials, and patterns across seven channels, Microsoft said in a blog post.

Game of Thrones, Stargirl Stars Join Marvel’s Next Animated Series

Making Marvel comics move, whether it’s for movies or television, is big business these days, and that means it’s attracting some pretty big names. Lena Headey and Luke Wilson are the newest names attached to the upcoming Marvel animated series, New-Gen.

New-Gen is part of the Marvel comics book universe, but it’s a far trip from the places occupied by Captain America, Spider-Man, and even Thor. The story starts in another dimension where nanotech controls everything from buildings to the weather. Deadalus, the apprentice of a scientist named Dr. Gabriel, tries to use the nanotechnology to become more powerful, and accidentally infects a bunch of kids with it in the process, turning them into super-powered but apparently non-human creatures. Gabriel tries to train the infected kids and sends his infant sons back in time to modern-day New York City, while Dr. Deadalus finds he can control robotic insects with his mind and make them burrow into other dimensions. We can only hope the show gets this weird.

Headey (Game of Thrones) is set to play Dr. Gabriel’s wife, Thea; Wilson (Stargirl, Idiocracy, Old School) will play Roboduck. Also cast are Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) and his brother Nick as the twin brothers, and Anya Charlotra (The Witcher) in an un-named role.

Super Meat Boy Forever: Hours Of New Footage Emerges, Featuring Many, Many Deaths

It had been a while since we’ve seen anything out of Team Meat about the upcoming Super Meat Boy sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever, but that’s now changed. Lead developer Tommy Refenes recently streamed over 10 hours of gameplay from the game’s current build, and it involves a lot of bloody deaths.

The game, which we last covered in 2018, has been in the works ever since, and it’s looking pretty good–and challenging. While Refenes points out some areas that are still too easy for his liking, including the first boss fight, in other sections he dies plenty.

This aforementioned boss fight also shows off a cutscene featuring Meat Boy and Bandage Girl’s kid, named Nugget. The kid is cute, as far as lumps of meat go.

You can watch the game in action below. This stream is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the original game’s release on Xbox 360.

It was originally announced that Super Meat Boy Forever would arrive first on Switch, but the press release sent to GameSpot just says that the game will come to Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC “when it’s ready.”

Thanks to a semi-random generation system, Super Meat Boy contains thousands of levels–but which ones you face will change each time you play. This means that no two playthroughs will be the same, and it’s expected that players can run through the entire campaign several times before encountering a new one.

Watch Dogs Legion Promo “Hacks” The Box Art Of Other Ubisoft Games

Watch Dogs: Legion is releasing very soon, and to promote the game, Ubisoft has updated some the company’s previous big games with “hacked” box art.

The new box art for back catalog games like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, The Division 2, Far Cry 5, and Ghost Recon Wildlands shows characters from those games wearing the pig mask from Legion. It’s a very clever piece of marketing, and you can see a selection of the new box arts in the Twitter post below.

Watch Dogs Legion releases on October 29 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S when those systems release in November. The game will be the first to take advantage of Ubisoft’s new cross-progression platform, Ubisoft Connect.
