Deadpool Creator Believes Cable Should Get His Own Spin-Off Movie Series

Cable premiered in a live-action film in Deadpool 2, bringing the character partially created by Rob Liefeld to the screen alongside the merc with the mouth (who Liefeld also created). Now, in an interview with Collider, Liefeld has said that there’s plenty of life in the character–and that he believes Cable should get his own movie series.

“Cable should have his own movie series,” Liefeld told the site. “He can exist independent of Deadpool in a heartbeat. He has for years.” He points out that Cable has appeared in far more comics than Deadpool since his creation in 1986–520 against 330. “Yes, I’ve counted,” he added.

“In between Deadpool 2 wrapping and opening, I got really close with Josh (Brolin),” he says, referencing the actor who portrayed Cable in the movie. “And he was very excited about exploring Cable in the subsequent sequels.” An X-Force movie was being planned in 2017, and Cable would have featured heavily; alas, the film is yet to eventuate, despite Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods) being attached to write and direct.

Josh Brolin actually signed onto a four-picture deal as the character, so if Cable returns, Brolin likely will, too. He’s also the actor behind another major Marvel figure–Thanos, the villain of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

Promising Looking Visual Novel Necrobarista Hits PC Soon, Switch And PS4 In 2021

Necrobarista, a long-awaited visual novel with a lot of style and an anime-inspired aesthetic, has finally confirmed a PC release date–and it’s close. The game will release for Steam and GOG on July 22, while console players will have to wait a bit longer–a Switch and PS4 release is planned for 2021.

The game is set in Melbourne, Australia, and features full 3D environments and characters to explore in first-person, and it’s aiming for a cinematic feel. It’s set in a cafe where the dead are able to return and interact with the living–but only for one night.

The soundtrack has been composed by Kevin Penkin, who previously worked on Florence.

In 2019, the game made GameSpot’s round-up of the best games of PAX Australia. It is being translated into thirteen languages beyond English, too, including Korean, Arabic, and Russian.

The game’s Steam page also promises an appearance from Australian bushranger and icon Ned Kelly, which should be interesting.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Listen To This Epic Norse Song From The Game’s EP

Composer Sarah Schachner is returning to the Assassin’s Creed series for Valhalla this year, working alongside another Assassin’s Creed veteran, Jesper Kyd, for the game’s music.

Schachner has now shared one of her songs from the soon-to-release Valhalla EP, Out of the North. The track, “The Sceptred Isle,” is slow and brooding, featuring harmonizing vocals and leaving you with a feeling of both dread and awe. Or at least that’s what I hear. It sounds like something out of Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings.

Schachner told Collider of her music for Valhalla, “My score for Valhalla portrays the different cultures of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons but also merges the two together, reflecting the Vikings’ evolution as they invade and conquer, then integrate into Anglo-Scandinavian society and even convert to Christianity.”

EA Sports UFC 4: Why EA Removed Ultimate Team This Year

One of the big changes for EA Sports UFC 4 is that the game has dropped the Ultimate Team mode that featured in some previous entries. It was a seemingly surprising move, given Ultimate Team was featured in UFC 2 and UFC 3, and, across EA’s wider sports catalog, Ultimate Team mode is a lucrative money-maker that brings in millions of dollars from microtransactions every year. In a blog post, creative director Brian Hayes explained EA’s reasoning for the change in more depth.

Hayes acknowledged that it might be surprising to learn there won’t be an Ultimate Team mode in UFC 4, and it’s a decision that EA Sports took care to consider before making a call.

Starting off, the sport of MMA does not involve a team, but instead one fighter. Fighters have coaches and trainers, but only two people step into the octagon to compete. “So Ultimate Team, as a concept, has struggled to fit and resonate in the context of MMA,” Hayes said. “We spent lots of time and resources in UFC 2 and UFC 3 to make it fun and engaging, but the feedback we received directly and through player data was that it still isn’t as engaging as we intended for it to be.”

Chris Evans Sends A Heartwarming Message To Kid Who Was Attacked By Dog While Protecting His Sister

Captain America actor Chris Evans might be finished playing the American hero, but the actor is not done doing good deeds for people in need. Evans has sent a heartwarming video message to a young boy whose story of saving his sister from a dog attack and sustaining serious injuries went viral.

On July 9, six-year-old Bridger Walker from Wyoming stepped in when a young German shepherd mix lunged at his 4-year-old sister. While protecting his sister, the dog mauled Bridger’s face, and he was hurt so bad that he needed a two-hour surgery and 90 stitches.

Bridger said of the attack, per CNN, “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.” Bridger’s aunt created an Instagram page for Bridger and his story, and Evans took notice.

Deadpool 3 — “Nothing Is Guaranteed,” Creator Says

Deadpool’s creator, Rob Liefeld, continues to believe that Deadpool 3 may never happen. He told Collider in a new interview that another movie might not be made, and he’s OK with that.

“You know what? There may not be another Deadpool, and I’m fine. Because I have to live with the fact that I had two amazing experiences, two movies I’m extremely proud of, I love knowing everybody on those movies,” Liefeld said. “I love Ryan [Reynolds], Josh [Brolin], Zazie [Beets], David [Leitch], Tim Miller. All of them. The work they did was fantabulous, those movies are here to stand the test of time. You know, but in the world we live in, nothing is guaranteed. And it takes a lot to make movies. And post-quarantine, it’s weird.”

This lines up with what Liefeld said in May, when he said he believes the Deadpool franchise has “set sail.”
