More importantly, the demo is loaded with references, Easter eggs, and clues that enhance its short length by expanding the upcoming game’s world as well as our knowledge of what the mysterious Resident Evil Village is really all about. So whether you haven’t had the chance to play the PS5 demo (likely due to scalpers buying all the next-gen consoles) or you’re just looking to dive a little deeper into what it all means, join us as we take a look at some of the things you may have missed during Village‘s “Maiden” voyage....

The name of Scott’s Napoleon movie is Kitbag, apparently taken from the saying, “There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.” And the movie is coming together quickly for Scott, who’s already working with screenwriter David Scarpa, the writer of Scott’s previous kidnapping drama, All the Money in the World, on the film. The goal is to explore Napoleon’s swift rise from soldier to general, to Emperor of France....

Riverdale Season 5 Episode 19 “So, Riverdale lives to fight another day…” With an episode title like “Riverdale R.I.P.,” it would be understandable if you went into this season finale expecting some massive game-changing event to occur that would cause Riverdale to completely reinvent itself. No such luck. Over the course of five seasons to date, the series has proven that it works great on an episodic level but falls apart when analyzed as a whole entity....

Riverdale Season 3 Episode 2 Leading up to this season, the cast and crew of Riverdale has made it a point to state that, despite the arrival of cults and Gargoyle Kings and mysterious teens who can apparently inflict seizures upon their classmates, that the show is not getting supernatural. Uh huh, sure you aren’t. Even if sister series Chilling Adventures of Sabrinaweren’t debuting next Friday, it wouldn’t be difficult to refute this claim....

To say this news will likely make Marvel fans happy is an understatement. Because in addition to a Wakanda series, Coogler’s official statement also left the door open for working on other Marvel shows at Disney+. “We are especially excited that we will also take our first leap [into TV] with Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and their partners at Marvel Studios,” Coogler said in a statement. “We’ll be working closely with them on select MCU shows for Disney+....

Connery was of course no stranger to acting royalty himself. Eventually knighted in 2000, he also got to play King Agamemnon in Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits in 1981, King Richard the Lionheart in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), and King Arthur in First Knight (1995). James Bond was only a small part of Connery’s cinematic output. The Oscar-winning screen legend wasn’t always a suave, debonair, tuxedoed aficionado of the shaken martini....

So with Fury off-world and a Skrull stepping into the shoes of one of the most important superspies on the planet, fans immediately began wondering if Marvel was looking to bring Secret Invasion to the screen. It turns out, they were. The Disney+ Nick Fury series won’t be a Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD show, or anything that steps on the toes of the recently completed Agents of SHIELD TV series after all....

Shameless Season 9 Episode 14 “I feel like I got a second chance…” Shameless Season 9 has been all over the map, largely in part due to the random and frenetic storylines that have pulled the season in various directions. Remember Courtney Cox’s stint as that rehab-bound celebrity? Neither do I. This schizophrenic feeling that has dominated much of this season is fortunately absent in “Found,” thanks to a strong underlying theme that helps give it focus....

Could this be a signal that the Phase 4 era of the MCU will be a more visually dynamic one? We can hope. The new film, which opens in September as Marvel’s first post-Black Widow release—and the first film made by Disney set after the events of 2019’s gargantuan Avengers: Endgame—is a bit of a fresh start for Marvel. In addition to not being a sequel or a prequel to an already established character, it is the first MCU film starring an actor of Asian descent (not to mention a wholly more diverse cast), as well as an attempt to right the perceived wrongs of dismissing the “Ten Rings” organization as a punchline in Iron Man 3....

Sony Pictures has spent months inundating us with Spider-Man: No Way Home trailers and TV spots focused on the premise of Tom Holland’s Marvel Cinematic Universe Wall-Crawler tangling with villains conjured from previous Spider-Man movie iterations. However, the studio originally envisioned a deceptive promotional plan to maintain secrecy over the film’s now-widely-known multiverse jailbreak by pushing the premise of heroic infighting evocative of 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. Indeed, as Holland reveals to Yahoo UK, the manifestation of the villains was intended to catch audiences off-guard....

And in the realm of superhero movies, few characters have had a stronger roster of such baddies than the Spider-Man movies. Despite existing across three continuities, and three vastly different interpretations of the Web-Head, popularity for the best of Spidey’s rogues can last for years—or even decades—after their first appearance. Just look at the unbridled anticipation about Alfred Molina returning to the role of Doctor Octopus for proof. Yet with so many foxes in the Spidey henhouse, the question becomes who is the best Spider-Man movie villain—as well as who are the ones that never fully measured up?...

After all these years on the force, Chris Rock’s seasoned Det. Zeke Banks still hasn’t figured out that when you play a Jigsaw game, the unwritten rule is you have to lose. Sure, his one-time partner, Det. “William Schenk” (Max Minghella), isn’t actually Jigsaw, nor even a true-blue disciple of John Kramer. However, Will learned the master’s trade, and he learned it well. Which is why at the end of Spiral: From the Book of Saw, Will’s on an elevator that’ll apparently lead him to safety out of this warehouse, and the SWAT team just murdered an innocent Black man....

Note: I highly encourage you to read Riley Silverman’s “Star Trek: Discovery’s Trans Representation is Both Heartbreaking and Groundbreaking” over at SyfyWire. As a trans woman (not to mention a brilliant pop culture critic), Silverman has a perspective on this representation that I, as a cis woman, do not and has beautifully written about her complex reaction to Discovery‘s latest episodes. If you pay attention to Star Trek news, then you probably saw and got got hyped about the pre-Season 3 announcement that Discovery would be introducing two trans characters: non-binary character Adira (played by Blu del Barrio) and trans character Gray (played by Ian Anderson)....

If anyone was on the fence as to whether or not the Lower Deckers in Star Trek: Lower Decks were also giant in-universe Star Trek fans, the latest episode, “Veritas,” will reveal the truth. Mariner, Rutherford, Tendi and Boimler know their Trek history better than most real life Trekkies. And to prove it, this episode has more Easter eggs and deep-cuts than (mabye) all the other episodes combined. From discussions about the hair styles of obsecure TNG characters, to some very big homages to a big seen in Star Trek VI, this episode packed in the references, and then decided to throw in a Gorn wedding....

Like any real-world society, many of the alien races in Star Wars have deep histories that cover everything from their origins and traditions to how they discovered spaceflight and their contributions to the galactic annals. Thanks to the Expanded Universe of books and comics that have spent the last 40 years going way beyond what you’ll ever see on screen, we know all about how the Chiss settled one of the most dangerous corners of space as well as how the Jedi and the Sith were born....

The Star Wars shows just keep coming. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, almost evenly between the Prequel and Original Trilogies. This setting provides plenty of opportunities to connect the show to other parts of the saga, including with some very surprising cameos. In just the first two episodes, Obi-Wan reluctantly leaves his mournful vigil over Luke Skywalker to help out an old friend from the Prequels, finding himself in the crosshairs of both bounty hunters and ruthless Imperial Inquisitors who serve Darth Vader....

“It’s kind of an explanation of how the Sith infiltrated the Jedi,” Keen revealed to Tech Radar. “It’s a Sith-led story, which has never been done before.” The show, which stars Amandla Stenberg (Bodies Bodies Bodies) and Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), is poised to introduce the Jedi and Sith who lived in the final days of the High Republic era, the so-called galactic “golden age” that preceded the fall of the Republic in the Prequel Trilogy....

The Book of Boba Fett Episode 2 How long will The Book of Boba Fett keep up the flashbacks? Probably a while, judging by the slow progression of the plot in both stories this week. “The Tribes of Tatooine,” which was directed by Steph Green and written by Jon Favreau, has a double meaning. There’s the bureaucracy and assassins Boba and Fennec face in Mos Espa as the new big crime lords in town, and then there are the Tusken Raiders who helped Boba survive in the desert in the days after the sarlacc pit....

The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 4 The Mandalorian goes dark in an episode that has range but lacks heart. In the first episode directed by actor Carl Weathers, Mando and his team infiltrate an Imperial facility, find a glimpse of the cloning project Baby Yoda used to be a part of, and have to fight their way out. In theory, the stakes are established well. The town on planet Nevarro where much of last season took place) is gradually turning from a hive of scum and villainy to a peaceful place thanks to bounty hunter guild leader Greef Karga and ex-Rebellion soldier Cara Dune, who is now serving as a marshal....

Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Episode 10 “Jedi Night” is the beginning of the end. Although there are four more episodes left in the last season of Star Wars Rebels, the show is in the swift race to the finale. Disney XD continues to air two episodes back-to-back, making each pair a special event and, possibly, hurrying the show out the door to make room for whatever is coming next. With that feeling of finality comes heightened emotion and drama, as well as reflection on what’s come before....
