Disney D23 Fan Convention Delayed A Year

While it wasn’t set to happen for another year, Disney has preemptively delayed the next D23 fan convention. The news was announced in a tweet, revealing the next D23 will occur September 9-11, 2022, rather than in 2021.

“D23 Expo 2022 will be a celebration unlike any other, as we give fans a first look at the incredible plans for the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company,” a statement reads. This news comes on the heels of several other conventions being delayed, canceled, or shifting to virtual events due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, San Diego Comic-Con was done virtually, and the upcoming New York Comic-Con will be as well.

Typically, D23 occurs every other year, giving Disney fans an opportunity to see footage from upcoming movies and TV shows, as well as see announcements about upcoming films, theme park expansions, and more. At the most recent D23, in 2019, Marvel Studios announced live-action Disney+ shows for She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and Ms. Marvel.

Animal Crossing: Catch These Bugs And Fish In New Horizons Before October

October is upon us, which means a new assortment of bugs, fish, and sea creatures will soon begin appearing in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. That also means that certain species will be leaving your island in only a couple of days, making this your last chance to catch them in the game for a little while.

Now that fall has begun in Northern Hemisphere islands, many of the remaining summer bugs and fish will be heading into hibernation come October. By contrast, only a handful of critters are leaving Southern Hemisphere islands next month, but you’ll still want to catch them while you can to fill out your encyclopedia. You can see all the bugs, fish, and sea creatures that are leaving Animal Crossing: New Horizons this week, on September 30, below.

A variety of different river and pond fish are leaving at the end of this month as well, including some valuable catches like the dorado, arowana, and arapaima.

With Season 6 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone starting on September 29 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, publisher Activision has detailed the new content coming to both games. This includes a Halloween-themed event featuring limited-time modes and rewards.

Universal Studios Reveals Jurassic World VelociCoaster Roller Coaster

Anyone who pays attention to theme park rumors or who has actually been to Universal Studios Orlando’s Islands of Adventure this year is probably well aware of a new roller coaster being built in the park’s Jurassic World section. Now, Universal has finally revealed what the ride is and when you’ll be able to ride it.

The new attraction is called the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, continuing the parks’ streak of giving things ridiculous and entertaining names. This is, after all, the same theme park that features a Jason Bourne-themed stunt show called The Bourne Stuntacular.

No Caption Provided

Billed as Florida’s tallest and fastest launch coaster, the VelociCoaster reached speeds of 70 miles per hour in 2.4 seconds and takes riders over 150 feet in the air. It also includes a 360-degree barrel roll and two different launches. Given that it’s a Jurassic World ride, it’s also loaded with dinosaurs–and cameos from the stars of the Jurassic World films.

National Treasure 3: Here’s Why It Never Happened

Disney’s National Treasure movies starring Nicolas Cage were huge hits at the box office, collectively making more than $800 million worldwide across two instalments. However, a third film never materialized, and now producer Jason Reed–who worked at Disney at the time but has since left–explained one of the reasons why.

He told Collider that, simply put, Disney was never able to make National Treasure a bonafide franchise by incorporating it into its parks or selling a significant amount of merchandise.

“I think part of what happened … even though the movies themselves were extremely successful, and had a really strong fanbase; it’s a movie that gets brought up all the time, particularly the first one. Unfortunately, the company was never able to capitalize on it as a franchise,” Reed said.
