Captain Marvel 2’s Villain Will Be Played By Zawe Ashton – Report

Zawe Ashton (Velvet Buzzsaw, Doctor Who) has reportedly been cast in Captain Marvel 2, according to Deadline. Disney and Marvel Studios have not yet issued an official statement, but Deadline is indicating via unnamed sources that the actor will co-star as the film’s villain.

Captain Marvel 2 is due out November 11, 2022 as part of Marvel Phase 4. So, it’s no surprise that details have been pretty sparse overall on the film since it wasn’t even clear until recently that this sequel would even exist. (For the record, the only MCU movie to not get a sequel or have one in the works was The Incredible Hulk.) CM2 will follow both Thor: Love and Thunder and Black Panther 2.

As reported by Deadline previously, Ashton will join Brie Larson in the sequel to the 2019 MCU film that will be directed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman). Megan McDonnell, who is a story editor on Disney+’s WandaVision, wrote the script for the sequel, but the story and even minor plot points are all still largely unknown. Teyonah Parris, who appears as the adult version of Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, will also figure into the movie. Marvel boss Kevin Feige has stated that Ms. Marvel will also make an appearance.

A Way Out Dev Joseph Fares Is Unsure About Xbox Game Pass — “How Do You Get Paid?”

Game designer Josef Fares, who led the development teams at Hazelight on Brothers, A Way Out, and It Takes Two, isn’t sold on the idea of subscription services like Xbox Game Pass. Speaking to Polygon, Fares said he’s scared about “the Netflix system” in the context of games because he isn’t sure how one very important piece comes together: How do developers get paid?

“I’m not really sure if the Netflix system will work with games; I’m not sure how that’s going to work in the long-term […] The only thing that scares me a little bit is that if you have a system where… How do you get paid? I’m not sure,” he said.

Fares offered up a potential business model structure for a subscription service where a developer gets paid based on the amount of time someone spends playing it. But that doesn’t work out well for developers who make shorter games. In the end, Fares said he likes the idea of a system like Game Pass that has the potential to get people to play more games than ever–and Microsoft’s data says that is the case–but if it comes at the expense of the developer, then that’s a problem.
