Looks like actor and musician Jared Leto is making the rounds when it comes to big blockbusters and superhero films, as The Hollywood Reporter reports that the Suicide Squad/ Joker actor is setting his sights at a Marvel character - namely Spider-Man ally/ foe Morbius The Living Vampire!
According to the report, Leto is cast in the lead role with "Safe House" director Daniel Espinosa helming the project.

Marvel Studios' "The Art of Iron Man: 10th Anniversary Edition" hits this October
It's hard to believe that it's been more than 10 years since Marvel Studios and director Jon Favreau took a gamble to jumpstart the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Iron Man" - but it certainly paid off in spades and helped reignite the career of Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. - who plays the titular character and his alter ego Tony Stark. As the heart of the MCU, RDJ and Iron Man have helped carry and connect all films of the MCU all the way to its long awaited convergence film in this year's "Avengers: Infinity War" - so it's only fitting that Marvel is going to celebrate a decade's worth of the Armored Avenger's first solo flick by releasing a 10th Anniversary edition of "The Art of Iron Man"!
As detailed in Amazon, the new release will be packed with exclusive content - from director Jon Favreau's vision in creating the film to bringing the Iron Man armor to life with the help of Stan Winston Studios! It sounds like a surefire collector's item piece for Iron Man fans - and this book will be released on October 9, 2018 and will retail for about $55.

Tetsuya Nomura says FF VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III were announced too early
This month's E3 event had a lot of reveals and new trailers to get gamers around the world excited for what's to come later this year and beyond, but expectedly there were a few things that did not get a chance to make their presence felt - among them news and updates about Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake.
According to a report by game blog VG 24/7 and Italian site Multiplayer, game director Tetsuya Nomura, who's also directing the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III, says that both games were announced too early. Comparing to other companies who announce their games when they're almost or close to completion, Nomura states that pressure contributed to Square Enix announcing them.
"In our case, we receive pressure from the fans even when we do not announce anything. They’re always asking us ‘are you working on this?’ or ‘why don’t you make a sequel for that?'” said Nomura. “Even after the announcement, the situation does not change, because then they’ll move onto asking us ‘when will it release?’ or ‘when will you show a new trailer?'"
Nomura also added that rumors also contributed to them revealing the games immediately.
“I am well aware of the fact that we announced it too early, but even in the industry, word was beginning to spread that we were working on the game, so we just decided not to keep it more secret and officially reveal it,” added Nomura.
And there it is. While Kingdom Hearts III has a release date of January next year for the PS4 and Xbox One, FF VII Remake is still the big question.

The Walking Dead: Jon Bernthal to return as Shane Walsh in Season 9
Looks like The Walking Dead fans have something big to look forward to if a report from a Entertainment Weekly is to be believed, as series veteran and the long deceased Shane Walsh actor Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his iconic role sometime in Season 9 - reuniting with his best friend Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) and the other remaining survivors who knew him that are still around in the show.
While Shane died in Season 2, that didn’t stop Bernthal from reprising the role as a hallucination that Rick sees (and shoots) during Season 3. With Andrew Lincoln looking to exit the show after Season 9, this will be the perfect reunion and swan song between the two pals who started as the first characters to be seen together when the hit AMC zombie show started back in 2010. For more information, read the source post at Superherohype.
The Walking Dead returns to AMC with Season 9 this October.

E3 2018: Capcom reveals the first teaser and announcement trailers for "Resident Evil 2 Remake"!
At long last, one of the most requested video game sequels ever made is FINALLY getting the remastered remake it deserves next year! After announcing three years ago that they would be doing it and making the game following the success of the "Resident Evil Remake" and "Resident Evil Zero" rereleased ports for last and current generation systems, Capcom has officially revealed the first teaser and announcement footage for "Resident Evil 2 Remake" at Sony's E3 Playstation showcase for E3 2018 - remaking the 1998 classic for a new generation of gamers and revisiting the Survival Horror tale of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they encounter zombies and other biological weapon horrors while trying to escape the city of the dead!
Shown at Sony's E3 2018 Showcase with a cleverly made teaser trailer revealing the first cinematic footage of the remake (and an original Playstation easter egg), we revisit highlights of the "Raccoon City Incident" - which sees Leon and Claire seeking sanctuary in the Raccoon Police Department yet finding horrific nightmares and monstrosities to deal with instead.
While the game isn't coming anytime soon this year, it's great that Capcom FINALLY announced the remake - coinciding with the original RE2's 20th anniversary this year! It's also great to see Leon, Claire, Sherry, and the gang back sporting some updated outfits (and Leon's iconic R.P.D. uniform returns), though it's a safe bet Capcom will be releasing more info in the coming months ahead as the game is set for an early 2019 release. Read up more info on Capcom-Unity's blog!
