The Story Behind Deadpool And Wolverine's Only Banned Topic
As fans prepare themselves for Deadpool and Wolverine being released this weekend, giving Marvel Studios its first R-rated feature, it’s still unclear how Deadpool and his ancillary characters will fold into the MCU proper. One thing that is abundantly clear, is despite the jokes about cocaine use, Deadpool/Wade Wilson probably won’t be partaking in his beloved drug of choice anytime soon.
Shawn Levy and Kevin Feige spoke to GameSpot during the film’s press junket, giving insight into their thoughts on the state of the MCU, but also how Feige was serious about no more cocaine use. However, the film could keep the series’ trademark level of violence and intense language.
“We’re not kidding around. There was only one ground rule ever requested,” said director Levy, who has become a constant collaborator with Ryan Reynolds. “And it was early on. And it was, honestly, Kevin was like, ‘Guys, it’s all on the table as long as it’s funny, but maybe we don’t have Wade and Blind A…
Read moreCall of Juarez- Gunslinger Review
‘
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a remarkable shooter, but not because of its story, or its visuals, or some innovative new game mechanic. No, what makes Gunslinger so successful is its focus on delivering some of the most entertaining shooting around. Each and every bullet fired from your trusty six-shooter rings out with a booming blast that echoes around the valleys of the Old West and slams into villainous cowboys with a thoroughly satisfying splat. It’s all so tight, and all so controlled, that the shorter missions and lack of exploration are easily overlooked in the pursuit of the perfect combo and the glory of a leaderboard-topping high score.

Read moreDaniel Radcliffe Says He Was "Really Annoyed" By Rumors Of A Rivalry Between Harry Potter And Lord Of The Rings
Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood have come forward to say there was no rivalry between the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings movies, despite reports saying the productions of the two blockbuster giants were contentious to some degree.
In Empire Magazine’s 20th anniversary interview with Radcliffe and Wood, both stars said that–at least from their perspective–there was no beef.
Wood said, “Certainly from our standpoint, no. It was just admiration of another significant saga that was being made concurrently by incredible filmmakers with an amazing cast.”
Radcliffe agreed. He said, “Yeah, very much the same. That’s why the rivalry stuff, when it came up in the press, really annoyed me, because I was like, ‘We don’t feel this.’ It always seemed very ridiculous.”
The two franchises both came from the film studio Warner Bros., and the movies released around the same time. The first Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings films debuted in Holiday 2001, …

Read moreIs Nintendo Going To Have An E3 Direct-
E3 is just around the corner in mid-June, and that’s led many fans to wonder if Nintendo is going to host a special Nintendo Direct to go along with the usual onslaught of gaming news. While Nintendo has foregone the usual blockbuster press conferences to focus on a pre-recorded Direct, we do know that Nintendo is going to be a part of the E3 event sometime between June 12 to 15. [Update: Sure enough, just a day after publishing this story, we’ve learned that a Nintendo Direct will take place on Tuesday, June 15.]
That’s because unlike Sony, Nintendo is still an official partner of the ESA, meaning that it’s going to participate in the event proper, which runs during those dates. Again, we don’t know for sure that Nintendo will hold a Direct at all, but we know it’s going to do something in that time range, so keep your eyes peeled for it. You should be able to check out the hypothetical Direct right here at GameSpot, as well as Ni…

Read moreJoker 2 Star Zazie Beetz Says Sequel Will Surprise You, Discusses Musical Element
It’s been reported that Joker 2 will have some musical elements, but is the movie a full-on musical? Star Zazie Beetz has commented on this, saying in an interview that people “will be surprised” by the kind of movie that Joker 2–which is officially called Joker: Folie a Deux–turns out to be.
“I don’t think it’s going to be what they expect, around it being musical,” Beetz told Variety. “We all sort of express musically and dancing in our lives day-to-day. I think it’s going to work really well.”
In 2022, reports suggested that the Joker sequel might be a full-on musical, but that was walked back somewhat later. It’s been more recently reported that it is more akin to A Star is Born, in that it will have some musical elements but is not a traditional musical.
Joker 2 stars Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. She is an accomplished, Oscar-winning actress and singer, so it makes sense to utilize her talents with some musical elements in the sequel. She also played a lead r…
Read moreIs Ed In Netflix's Cowboy Bebop Series-
One of the burning questions fans found themselves asking as the promotional material for Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop began dropping was: Where’s Ed? The orange-haired, eccentric hacker from the anime is not only a fan favorite, but a core member of the Bebop crew after having joined the bounty hunting escapades during the series’ 9th episode. But Ed was nowhere to be found in any of the live-action show’s trailers or stills, and absolutely no casting was announced, prompting plenty of speculation (and concern) among the anime die-hards.
So, now that the show is out and available to watch in full on Netflix, we’re here to answer that question once and for all–but of course, we can’t do so without some spoilers, so consider this your warning.
Long story short, yes, Radical Edward is in Cowboy Bebop, but only extremely briefly and at the very end. Prior to this, Ed is only name dropped as a hacker providing th…
