A sequel to the 2018 film Tomb Raider has officially been confirmed, along with Alicia Vikander returning to the role of Lara Croft and Ben Wheatley to direct. The film has yet to be officially titled and is set tentatively for a release on March 19, 2021. In terms of video game adaptations to film, the 2018 reboot of Tomb Raider was quite well done. It featured solid directing and a reasonably good story, but the financial performance of the film was little more than mediocre....

While the young Fantastic Four challenged the mighty Molecule Man in 1963, a teenage George R. R. Martin was busy writing a letter to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the book’s legendary creators. Martin, who was destined to become the scribe of many great works of genre fiction, was just a boy from Bayonne, NJ who had fallen in love with Marvel superheroes — the boldness of their stories, their relatable origins, and the audaciousness of their colorful get-ups, courtesy of geniuses like artists Kirby and Steve Ditko....

Netflix has lifted the curtains on the first look at actor Henry Cavill in full Geralt mode for its upcoming The Witcher series. The streaming giant revealed a brief video of the Superman star striking a moody pose for a camera test, before necking what is presumably a potion of some description.

Balance is the hardest thing to get right in any game with a major competitive fanbase. Weakening an overpowered character in one patch can cause them to fall into the underused tier, while strengthening a less-used character in another can cause them to shoot up the ranks and overwhelmingly dominating the competition. Such is the case right now in the Mortal Kombat 11 competitive scene with Jacqui Briggs’ “Upgraded” variation, which many players are calling for to be nerfed, if not removed completely....

Love is complicated enough without time travel. When time becomes a factor in a relationship, that relationship may be in trouble. In science fiction especially, time travel is a wrinkle that both brings lovers together and keeps them separate in some temporally devastating way. Marty McFly almost breaks up his parents before they even get together. Kyle Reese falls in love with Sarah Connor when tasked with saving her life. Captain America misses out on a dance with Peggy Carter by getting frozen for 70 years (still technically time travel, if a bit low-tech)....

Some people wonder about the popularity of World of Warcraft. Why are so many people excited about a game that’s 15 years old?

Several of the cities that dot the Azerothian landscape of Classic WoW are worth a visit even if you don’t have a quest chain or dungeon run to take you there....

But that shouldn’t stop audiences having an absolute blast in a movie packed with action set pieces, cool future-tech and a decent amount of gore to boot....
