Happy Halloween! Looks like the upcoming Resident Evil Reboot is looking straight from the source!

 

It's All Hallows Eve, and a lot of us are celebrating Trick or Treat and all things horror and spooky indoors this year thanks to the ongoing global pandemic restricting activities and gatherings. That however hasn't stopped work and production for some upcoming film projects (albeit with safety measures enforced of course), and one of these is the upcoming Resident Evil Reboot film, with Johannes Roberts set to direct and the likes of Robbie Amell and Hannah John-Kamen to star as Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, respectively!

Thanks to Biohazard Declassified in Facebook, we get a look at some set photos that have made their way to the interwebz that suggest that the filmmakers who are starting over with the RE film franchise are going to be faithful this time around with the source material - including building the Raccoon Police Department gate just like it was featured in the games! Plus, Kendo Gun Shop is also looking like it's straight from Resident Evil 2!

The Resident Evil Reboot is currently filming and will be released (hopefully) sometime in 2021.

Medicom Toys reveals MAFEX Azrael Batman and Ben Reilly Spider-Man , Arrives this 2021

 

For comic book fans who grew up reading DC and Marvel stories from the 90's, a dose of nostalgia and awesome collector booty is going to hit the market next year as Medicom Toys has revealed their next batch of MAFEX action figures based on comic book characters - and it's Azrael's Batman and Ben Reilly as Spider-Man! Thanks to the interwebz, we get our first look at their figures and their alternate unmasked heads and accessories!

Based on the well-known "Batman: Knightfall" storyline of the 90's where Bruce Wayne was forced to relinquish the mantle of the bat after being broken by Bane, Azrael was chosen as the new Batman to defend Gotham while Wayne left the city for another mission - not realizing how mentally unstable and brutal his successor was. To that end, Jean-Paul Valley constructed a new Batsuit that was big departure from his predecessor - to take on Bane and show Gotham City that a new and more savage Dark Knight was watching its citizens.

Spiralling out of the controversial "Clone Sage" of the 90's, Ben Reilly - a clone of Peter Parker and thought to be the original by both men at the time, was chosen by Peter to take over as Spider-Man while the latter left New York City to build a new life with Mary Jane and their unborn child. Retiring the mantle of the Scarlet Spider, Ben fashioned himself a new costume and took over webslinging duties as the new and improved Amazing Spider-Man!

Both MAFEX action figures are scheduled to be released on September 2021!

Surprise! Jared Leto returns as The Joker for "Zack Snyder's Justice League"

 

Looks like Jared Leto's stint as The Clown Prince of Crime himself The Joker hasn't ended at all and he gets the proverbial "Last Laugh", as The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop that the actor and musician has joined "Zack Snyder's Justice League" - filming scenes that will apparently tie-in with "Suicide Squad" and the DC Extended Universe as a whole. Leto's Joker never appeared in the 2017 team-up film, and only had what amounted to an "extended cameo" in 2016's Suicide Squad - where he played more of a secondary role to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and her back story (and he didn't reprise the role for this year's Birds of Prey either). Looks like that's going to be corrected with this new version of Justice League - which is Snyder's intended vision of the film and will include the big bad himself -Darkseid.

Not a bad way to get retribution, and continue the 80 years celebration of The Joker this year!

Zack Snyder's Justice League will be split into four parts and premiere sometime next year on HBO Max.

DC Comics reveals "Future State" Comic Event for 2021

 

Following the conclusion of Dark Nights Death Metal this January and initiating a pause in the mainline titles for a couple of months, DC Comics has announced "Future State" - a comic event that sees the DC Universe propelled to a unspecified point in the future where things are shuffled, a dystopian future has affected the lives of heroes, and new characters have taken up the mantles of some of the world's greatest heroes.

To name some of the few changes - Bruce Wayne will no longer be Batman and is presumed dead, with a new man behind the cape and cowl taking on the Magistrate in a Gotham City outlawing vigilantes. Jonathan Kent has taken up the role of Superman while his father is exiled in space. There are also a new Wonder Woman running around, and other legacy characters rise to take up the mantles of heroes who have come and gone.

You can read up more details about this Future State via Polygon. The initiative begins this January 2021, and will run until March that year.
