Infinity War Directors Reveal the Tony Stark Scene They Cut
Given how massive the story of Avengers: Infinity War is, it’s not surprising that some story threads fall through the cracks, one of which was Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) infamous “burner phone.” In the commentary track on the new Avengers: Infinity War Digital HD release, director Joe Russo revealed that there actually was another scene they ultimately discarded that revealed why Tony just happened to be carrying that phone while he was out jogging.
“To be fair, we did have another scene between Pepper and Tony that illustrated where the phone came from. But, it was a reshoot scene and we had opted to revert back to the park scene.
The “burner phone” scene was the topic of much discussion following the theatrical release, with Anthony Russo even poking fun at the scene as well, adding, “It is convenient that he keeps it charged.” McFeely offered some more insight, adding that, when Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner suggests that Steve Rogers might be able to help in this dire situation, Tony already knows a lot more about Steve, and other characters, than he’s letting on.

Horizon Zero Dawn Board Game Announced
Announced during Gen Con 2018, an official Horizon Zero Dawn board game is in the works. It is being developed by Steamforged Games, the same studio that made the Dark Souls board game.
Steamforged said that they’ve actually been developing the game since before Horizon Zero Dawn even released on PS4, and that they’ve been working directly with Sony and Guerilla Games for at least two years.
In fact, Steamforged even told us that Guerilla is referring to the board game as the next Horizon Zero Dawn game, and that while it’s not overly heavy on story, it is canon within that world. It will be set after the events of the video game and DLC, and feature main characters such as Aloy as event cards that can be encountered.
The Batman Won’t Be Year One Adaptation Says Matt Reeves
The Batman will not be an adaptation of the Year One storyline, director Matt Reeves revealed.
While speaking to press after a TCA panel, per SlashFilm, Reeves said The Batman will tell a “very personal” and “defining” story about the titular superhero instead of being an origin movie.
“We are definitely not doing Year One,” Reeves said. “It’s just exciting to be focused very specifically on a tale that is defining for him and very personal to him.”
Reeves added the film will try to tell an emotional story while still staying true to what makes Batman so unique and beloved. The movie will also be noir-inspired, with Batman having to investigate a particular case.
The Simpsons Will Be On TV For A Long Time To Come, Fox Teases
The Simpsons is already one of the longest-running TV shows in history, and it’s not coming to an end soon. Fox boss Dana Walden said recently that, while the show has not been officially renewed beyond Season 30, you can expect Fox to pick it up for even more.
“Down the line, what kind of decision is made, I can’t really speak to, but for the foreseeable future, there’s so much upside and benefit to having a great, Emmy Award-winning, smart, provocative, quality show,” she said during a Television Critics Association event, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s no consideration of not ordering more Simpsons.”
Walden teased that a “couple of years of episodes” of The Simpsons are already in production.
The Fox network and 20th Century Fox are set to separate when Disney’s acquisition of most of Fox is complete. The Simpsons will stay on Fox amid this shuffle, Walden said. When this change happens, The Simpsons will become a licensed TV show for Disney.
“As long as we’ve all been in business, networks have licensed shows they don’t have ownership of,” Fox boss Gary Newman said. “It is challenging, and I anticipate it will be challenging on The Simpsons. The Simpsons is so associated with Fox, and that association benefits both the network and the owner of the IP. … I feel confident Disney and Fox are going to find a way to both have an interest in that show.”
Finally, Walden addressed the Apu controversy. She said there have been conversations with the production team, including James L. Brooks, and it was decided that Brooks and his writing team will decide how to move forward. “I think they’ve treated the show and the characters on the show with such respect that we trust them to handle it in a way that will be best for their show,” she said. “I’m not sure yet what they’re going to do, but ultimately we decided that was their decision.”
The Simpsons recently passed 636 episodes, which beats Gunsmoke (635 episodes) to become the longest-running scripted TV series ever.
In other news related to The Simpsons, creator Matt Groening’s new show, Disenchantment, premieres on Netflix later this month. You can watch a trailer above.
