The first teaser for the superhero movie sequel Deadpool 2 has arrived.
Star Ryan Reynolds today posted the clip on YouTube. His character, Wade Wilson, encounters a man getting mugged. Like Superman, he jumps into a phone booth to change into his Deadpool suit--but...well, watch the video to see how it turns out. Stan Lee even shows up.
EW noticed that this trailer also references "Nathan Summers," which is a reference to Cable, who has been heavily teased for the sequel. Recently, a report claimed Stranger Things actor David Harbour might play him. However, this trailer shows a poster for Firefly, so could it be Nathan Fillion?

BioWare has shared some new images and details for Mass Effect: Andromeda's multiplayer mode.
Posted by producer Fernando Melo on Twitter, the pictures show off Andromeda's character-selection screen and more. You can see the images embedded in the tweets below.
Meanwhile, we'll get some more MP info out - let's get the ball rolling... see you all soon in Andromeda! 4/4 pic.twitter.com/FuhGpuat9f
On the 3rd day of MP-mas (MP Santa was a bit busy so a little late today), the MP dev team gave to you - some MP customization... pic.twitter.com/jXpDBwSlzB
As for the new details, according to DualShockers, Melo confirmed that female Krogan characters (and female versions for all races) will be available. You can customize armor (including color and patterns), but customization for your character's face is not supported.
Continuing from Mass Effect 3, Andromeda's multiplayer will feature packs containing items that can be unlocked through gameplay or by spending real money.
As for how XP is earned, DualShockers reports that "during matches each player contributes to the total experience granted, and the the whole amount is granted to all."
Andromeda's multiplayer beta has been canceled. However, you can try the mode before launch on Xbox One and PC if you have an EA/Origin Access subscription. The EA/Origin Access free trial for the game, which limits you to 10 hours, arrives on March 16, with the full game coming out on March 21 for Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
For more on Andromeda, GameSpot's written coverage and videos here.
Disney is making a new Tron movie and Jared Leto could star in it.
This is according to The Hollywood Reporter, which claims, based on anonymous sources, that Disney is in the "very early stages" of making the film. Leto won an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club and recently played the Joker in Suicide Squad.
"No writer has been hired at this exploratory stage, and no filmmaker is involved," THR said.
Tron: Legacy producer Justin Springer is in line to produce the new film, while Leto would be involved "in some producing capacity" if the movie ever gets made, which is not guaranteed.
After 2010's Tron: Legacy made $400 million, plans were reportedly in place for another movie, but it never happened.
THR added: "Sources say this new project is not a direct sequel and is being built out of the source code of the deleted Tron 3 script. Leto would play a character named Ares, who has not appeared onscreen before, but was a key player in that script."
The first Tron was released in 1982, starring Jeff Bridges. The movie takes place inside of a computer program known as the Grid.
Sound design is important for any video game, and horror games are no exception. Resident Evil 7 is being praised by critics for returning to its horror roots. Another standout part of the game is its creepy opening song, "Go Tell Aunt Rhody," which is a cover of the classic Burl Ives tune.
Composer Michael A. Levine came up with the new version, and GameSpot recently had a chance to speak with him about his first-ever video game gig.
In our discussion, Levine talks about how he came to be attached to the game, how many iterations he went through before he got to the final mix, and what it was like working with his daughter on it.
You may not know Levine by name, but you are likely familiar with his work. He wrote the Kit Kat"Gimme A Break" jingle and did the music for Star Wars Detours. He also arranged the choir version of The Simpsons' silly "Spider Pig" song and also produced pop giant Lorde's version of "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" from the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack.
You can read the full interview below--go to Levine's website to learn more about the composer.
I'm always intrigued to hear how people get synced up with projects--how did you come to work with Capcom on Resident Evil 7?
Capcom was aware of a reconceptualization of the Lorde version of Everybody Wants to Rule The World that Lucas Cantor and I produced. We took a bouncy 80s dance number and turned it into something dark and brooding. That's the kind of thing they like!
"Go Tell Aunt Rhody" is a really creepy song; it does a good job of setting up the dread to come. Can you talk about the conceptualization of this song and the feedback from Capcom?
Capcom wanted a spooky remake of a song people already knew the world over but, rather than a pop song, they wanted something that was traditional. I remembered that because American teachers had helped establish the Japanese public school system in the 1870s, Rhody has a Japanese equivalent called Musunde. Most Japanese believe it is a traditional Japanese song.
From a technical perspective, how did you build the track? And how many iterations and variations did you go through before landing on what we hear in the game now?
It started as a more straightforward ballad with a few scary moments and, 20 or so versions later, evolved into something more like voice plus sound design. The original lead singer was Mariana Barreto, who has a beautiful light "innocent" quality. She's still doing all the background vocals. But we later looked for someone with a more "invasive" quality and were lucky enough to find New Zealand-born Jordan Reyne who, I think, did a spectacular job.
"Make it scary! Make it scarier! Make it even scarier!" -- Levine on the feedback he received from Capcom
Capcom made Resident Evil 7 in Japan. Do you speak Japanese? How did you go about coordinating with them across the language and geographic barriers?
I am fortunate that one of my agents, Koyo Sonae, is Japanese-American and served as both a language translator, and, equally important, a cultural interpreter. The geography presented some unique scheduling challenges such as the vocal session with Jordan at 6 pm London time (where she was), 10 am LA time (where I was), and 2 am Tokyo time (where the clients were).
What kind of notes did Capcom give you either before getting to work or in their reviews?
Make it scary! Make it scarier! Make it even scarier!
What kind of preparation did you do for this project? Did you get to see or play the game at all before sitting down to come up with the music?
The game was still in development so what I worked with was a storyboard and a story summary. Very low-tech! Based on the story summary I created the verse which relates, without giving too much away, to events in the game. I also changed the concluding line from the traditional "the old grey goose is dead" to "everybody's dead."
You worked with your daughter on this project--what was that like?
The aforementioned Mariana Barreto. Mari is one of the best musicians I know and a delight to work with. She is actually my step-daughter. When I fell in love with my wife, Mirette, and we got married, I didn't realize I was going to get such a marvelous bonus! Mari and I recently recorded an EP together called Samira and The Wind – a play on her middle name (Samira) and my last name. (Levine = Le Vent = The Wind).
The Resident Evil series is a behemoth. It has millions of fans. Did you feel any extra pressure to deliver, given the enormity of the game and the brand?
To be honest, my ignorance was probably an advantage in this case. Only later did I realize that I had stumbled into the Temple of Coolness.
What kind of feedback have you heard from your work on Resident Evil 7?
Capcom has been very complimentary and the fans kind. No insane stalkers, so far.
You've worked on a number of big-name properties in the past for movies and TV--but was this your first video game? If so, can you talk about the differences between those mediums and games as it relates to music writing?
Yes, this was my first video game. The theme song is the fun part and conceptually similar to other themes and trailers I have written before. The task is to distill the mood of a multi-hour experience into three minutes or less. Easy <wink>. The scoring, which was done by a talented team including Akiyuki Morimoto, Miwako Chinone, Satoshi Hori, and Cris Velasco, has to be flexible enough so that when the player makes a crucial decision the music will still make sense.
What are you working on right now that fans can get excited about?
Besides the Samira and The Wind album with Mari that I mentioned, I am recording an album with world-renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie in May, tentatively titled Marimbolin. I will be playing electric violin and Evelyn will be playing, well, everything.
We recently got our hands on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Edition. Priced at $130, the package comes with a copy of the game, a Master Sword statue, a Sheikah Eye Collectible Coin, a Nintendo Switch Sheikah Slate Carrying Case, a 24-Song Soundtrack CD, and a Calamity Ganon Tapestry and Weather Worn Map. Click ahead to check out detailed photos of everything included in the collector's edition.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild breaks away from tradition, discarding many of the time-honored tropes the series has been known for. Despite this, it still keeps a few iconic elements from past games. The most notable is the Master Sword, which remains a useful tool you can use to complete your quest. But acquiring the blade is no easy task, as it's hidden somewhere beyond your reach. Here are directions to help you find the Master Sword. Be wary, there are slight spoilers ahead.
For more on Breath of the Wild, check out our full review of the game, our compilation of our guides and tips, and our feature detailing everything you need to know about it.
It's revealed early on that Link lost the Master Sword after a failed attempt to defeat Calamity Ganon. In the 100 years between that battle and Link's re-awakening, the legendary blade was considered lost. But after spending countless hours exploring, we discovered that the Master Sword is located at center of the Great Hyrule Forest, which is to the north of Hyrule castle. But in order to reach the blade, you need to successfully traverse the Lost Woods.
Important Requirement: You Need 13 Hearts To Get The Master Sword
While you're able to reach the Master Sword immediately upon leaving Hyrule Plateau, it's impossible to obtain the blade early on. You're required to have at least 13 hearts to survive pulling it from its resting place; temporary hearts do not count towards this amount. If you haven't attained the necessary heart count, we suggest completing the multitude of Shrines scattered across the world to earn the Spirit Orbs needed to gain additional Heart Containers.
In summary, you need 10 Heart Containers to survive pulling the sword (you start the game with three hearts), so you need to complete 40 shrines to get the health needed.
What If I Used My Spirit Orbs To Buy A Bunch Of Stamina Vessels?
If you've already completed a significant number of shrines, but used its Spirit Orbs for Stamina Vessels instead of Heart Containers, then don't fret. In Hateno Village, there's a mopey-looking statue at the bottom of the hill on the other side of the village entrance that can reassign your upgrades.
If you talk to it, you'll initiate a sidequest where the statue steals some of your essence (either a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel); speak to it again to reclaim what was taken from you. It then offers you a deal where you can sell one of your Heart Containers or Stamina Vessels for 100 Rupees. Talk to it again to acquire either a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel for 120 rupees.
This is a handy resource, as you can essentially use it to get the Heart Containers you need to acquire the Master Sword. And if you want you Stamina Vessels back, you can return to reassign once more.
How To Get To The Lost Woods
To get to the Lost Woods, follow the path through Mishi Woods located northeast of Hyrule castle, just before the Death Mountain region. You'll know you're on the right track when you pass by the Woodland Stable. Look at the map above for reference.
Traversing The Lost Woods
Navigating the Lost Woods is confusing at first; if you run through it mindlessly, a thick fog consumes you and brings you back to the entrance. To avoid this, simply follow the flow of the particles moving in the air. Its direction changes often as you progress, so make sure to keep an eye on when it shifts.
The Korok Forest: Home Of The Master Sword
Successfully navigating through the Lost Woods leads you to the Korok Forest. The Master Sword is found in the clearing. Simply walk up to the legendary blade to trigger a cutscene, and then press A to initiate pulling the sword from its resting place.
Using The Master Sword
The Master Sword is a valuable asset in your fight against Calamity Ganon, as its power far exceeds any other weapon in the game. It can also be used against normal enemies; but be wary, using the blade too much causes it to steadily lose its attack power for a brief duration of time.
Every week, GameSpot Universe covers what's big in film, television, and a whole lot more. There is so much going on in the world of entertainment that you may have missed something. Don't worry, we've got you covered, as we're diving into the biggest news pieces from the week.
Get Out Takes Top Box Office Slot
It was pretty surprising to see Jordan Peele's horror film Get Out do as well as it did. It took the top box office slot for the weekend of February 25, making $30.5 million during its opening weekend. The film beat out The Lego Batman Movie and John Wick: Chapter 2.
On Sunday, February 26, the 89th Academy Awards were held in Los Angeles, recognizing greatness in film for another year. You can check out our full recap here. One moment that unleashed a lot of fury on Twitter was Suicide Squad winning the award for Best Hair and Makeup. However, that wasn't the most talked-about part of the evening. Everyone lost their minds during the Best Picture announcement, which was mistakenly given to La La Land. Moonlight was then declared the winner in one of the most confusing Oscar moments of all time.
Everything Coming And Going From Netflix For March
Every month, Netflix announces what is coming and going for the upcoming month. In March, we'll be losing the Jaws films, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and more. However, Netflix subscribers will be able to watch Jurassic Park, This Is Spinal Tap, the first season of Marvel's Iron Fist, and a whole lot more. Many of these selections will be available for download.
One of the most anticipated films of 2017 that doesn't have "Star Wars" in the title is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Luckily for fans, we got a brand-new trailer this week, which gave us a bit more insight into the upcoming film. You can watch it for yourself then check out our breakdown to find out a little bit more about the film's new characters.
Aquaman Test Footage Revealed
The Justice League movie may not be coming out until November, but we're starting to see more about the upcoming film. This week, director Zack Snyder revealed some footage of Aquaman swimming under water. This time, it doesn't look like actor Jason Mamoa is holding his breath, like he did in his cameo in Batman v. Superman.
Did you see Logan yet? If you loved it, you might want to check out the comic series Old Man Logan. The current movie is loosely based on that character--very loosely. The comic series is going strong, and we learned during an interview with the new creative team that Logan will be fighting a version of Hulk, just like during Wolverine's first appearance.
This May, Ridley Scott will be directing the newest Alien film, and it looks awesome. It seems like the franchise is leaning more towards a mixture of horror and action and keeping the same tone as the original film.
Split will be available digitally on April 4 and on DVD/Blu-ray on April 18. We learned that there will be an alternate ending and deleted scenes on the home video release. Considering how crazy the ending of the film is already, we're curious to see what else M. Night Shyamalan has to offer.
This week, the folks from GameSpot watched Keijo, an anime where people fight with their butts. It is quite possibly one of the weirdest things we've seen.
Anime Show Featuring The Avengers Coming From Marvel
Marvel is producing a new anime series featuring The Avengers. It will be titled Marvel Future Avengers and premieres in Japan this summer.
Netflix Reveals Trailer For Will Smith Movie That Features Orcs
During the Academy Awards, Netflix unveiled a trailer for its upcoming original film Bright. It stars Will Smith and is directed by David Ayer. What made this such an eye-catching video was that it was set in modern day and featured orcs.
Finally, we got to see the first trailer for Disney's new Ducktales series. Yes, the show will feature an updated version of the original theme song, which can be heard in the background of the video, and it feels so right. Ducktales will premiere later this year.
When will HBO's Game of Thrones return for Season 7? We still don't know for sure, but now, actor Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) has teased that the show may come back in July.
"I've been disappointing various people around the world because it was meant to come out in April. It's July now, I think," he told The Independent (via IGN).
Cunningham also confirmed there will be a special event to mark the season premiere and that, as rumored, it will only have seven episodes. He also said production will begin on Season 8 in September this year.
"There's going to be a launch and something special happening this year for the premiere. The bad news is, there will only be seven episodes and the final season starts again as far as I know in September," he said.
A new promo for Game of Thrones Season 7 aired recently on HBO and can be seen above. According to actress Emilia Clarke, Season 7 is going to blow your mind.
Disney has released the first picture of actress Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins in its upcoming reboot of the series, Mary Poppins Returns. It's a classic-looking photo showing Blunt standing in front of the Banks mansion after magically flying there, presumably.
Take a look:

The new Mary Poppins film also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Ben Whishaw (Spectre), Meryl Streep (The Devil Wears Prada), Colin Firth (Pride and Prejudice), and Julie Walters (Harry Potter series). Dick Van Dyke, who played one of the leads in the 1964 original, is returning for the reboot. Julie Andrews played Mary Poppins in the original.
Like the original, the reboot will feature three Banks children, who are played by Pixie Davies (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children), Nathanael Saleh (Game of Thrones) and Joel Dawson.
Also similar to the original, the sequel is set in 1930s depression-era London and tells a story based on the works of author PL Travers. Here is the official synopsis:
"In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep)."
Mary Poppins Returns is directed by Rob Marshall, who made the Disney movie Into the Woods. Mary Poppins Returns comes out on Christmas Day 2018.
Michael K. Williams, who starred in HBO's acclaimed drama The Wire and was recently seen in the Assassin's Creed movie, might be joining Lucasfilm's upcoming Star Wars Han Solo movie.
Variety is reporting that Williams is in "final talks" to join the film. We don't know anything about his character, or the movie's overall plot, really, except for the fact that it's a prequel to the Star Wars series.
Williams has been re-tweeting stories about this report, so it seems pretty solid, though Lucasfilm has yet to make a formal announcement about his involvement.
The untitled Han Solo movie will focus on Han Solo's "early encounters" with Lando Calrissian and is currently in production.
Han Solo is played by Alden Ehrenreich, while Donald Glover portrays Lando Calrissian. Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke is also in the movie, alongside Hunger Games actor Woody Harrelson, both in unspecified roles. Westworld actress Thandie Newton and Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge will appear in the movie as well, though their parts have not been announced.
"Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous," directors Chris Lord and Phil Miller said in a statement. "We can't think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky."
The Han Solo movie opens on May 25, 2018. The next entry in the series is this year's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which picks up immediately after 2015's The Force Awakens.
