Falcon And Winter Soldier Team-Up Marvel Show Is On The Way--Report

As Netflix continues to trim its roster of Marvel shows, there is much attention on what Disney plans for its own streaming service, which launches next year. It has already been rumored that Marvel shows based on Loki and Scarlet Witch are in the works, and it has now been reported that a Falcon and Winter Soldier team-up series is also in development.

According to Variety, it would be a "limited series," meaning a self-contained show with a set number of episodes rather than an ongoing series. The site states that it is the first of the potential new Marvel shows to be assigned a writer, with Empire writer/producer Malcolm Spellman on board to work on the script. Marvel and Disney both declined to comment on Variety's story.

If the series happens, it is expected that the Falcon and Winter Soldier will be played by Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, the actors who play the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Both joined the MCU for 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and were seen most recently in this year's Avengers: Infinity War. This latest report supports the rumor last month that the new Marvel shows being developed for its streaming service will focus on "second-tier" MCU characters.

The news comes after Netflix recently canceled both Iron Fist and Luke Cage after two seasons each. The service still has Daredevil and Jessica Jones on its roster, and a second season of The Punisher is expected next year.

In related news, production is now underway on the upcoming live-action Star Wars show, which will also premiere on the Disney streaming service. The show is titled The Mandalorian, and is written and produced by Jungle Book director Jon Favreau. While no casting news has been announced yet, we do know that the show will focus on a "lone gunfighter" and will be set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been...
