Glass is the Third Act We Always Wanted for Unbreakable

Warning: Spoilers for Unbreakable follow…

Long before the MCU, and even before Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film, M. Night Shyamalan followed up his massive breakout hit The Sixth Sense with a really solid take on the old “what if superheroes were real?” story.

Unbreakable, starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, didn’t reach the heights of Sixth Sense but in looking back, fans still herald it as one of the writer/director’s best and most satisfying projects. The way the story unfolded definitely seemed to set up “adventures to come,” though it also managed to stand very well on its own, as an isolated island work, without franchise goals. You could certainly imagine Willis’ David Dunn continuing his work as Philadelphia’s super strong rain-poncho’d vigilante while Jackson’s Elijah “Mr. Glass” Price rotted away in a psychiatric care facility…and that was enough for most.

SDCC: Best Cosplay Of Comic-Con 2018 — Power Rangers, Pokemon, Street Fighter, More (Day 3)

San Diego Comic-Con 2018 is now its third day, and the news just keeps on rolling in. Today we’ve had trailers for Aquaman, Shazam, and Godzilla: King of Monsters. But the event is about more than just big reveals; in fact, one of the best parts of the show is seeing the passion fans have for movies, comics, TV, games, and more. Walking the halls of Comic-Con, this passion is most obviously manifested in cosplay, and it’s hard not to stop and marvel at some of the fantastic costumes that people put together to show their love.

We’ve been snapping pictures of our favourite costumes every day of Comic-Con so far, and have seen characters from Iron Man, Game of Thrones, Moana, Mega Man, and Batman, among others. And Saturday has been no different, with each of those franchises and more strongly represented once again, along with Silver Surfer, Pokemon, Static Shock, and Lord Zedd.

For those looking to catch-up on some of the news, we’ve put together a list of our Comic-Con coverage highlights below for a quick and easy way to get up to speed. Big news includes a brand-new trailer for Preacher Season 3, which sounds like it’s going to get even more gruesome and stomach-churning in the remaining episodes.

Cloak and Dagger fans can also look forward to seeing more of Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, as the superhero duo will return for a second season. With just two episodes left in the current season, the future was unclear for the series, but at the Cloak and Dagger panel during Comic-Con, Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb confirmed that Season 2 will start production in the fall, which means it should hit screens in 2019.

There’s still plenty of Comic-Con to go, and you can be sure we’ll continue to bring you all of the biggest news from the show, so keep your eyes on GameSpot. You can also expect lots more cosplay from the event.

Why Venom Is Missing His White Spider Chest Symbol

Venom director, Ruben Fleischer has explained why Venom is missing his white spider chest symbol in the upcoming movie.

When asked by IGN about the lack of symbol in new footage revealed exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con, Ruben explained that a spider logo wouldn’t make sense as this iteration of Venom didn’t start with Spider-Man.

“If you look at the comics, in Venom, there is just elements of white within his suit. Because our character does not originate from Spider-Man, it makes no sense to put a spider on his chest. We tried to be as accurate as we possibly could, even though some people feel it’s inaccurate, but there is a lot of white and we wanted to give him a distinctive pattern.”
