Star Wars Actor Hayden Christensen Reveals His Favorite Video Games

Actor Hayden Christensen, who is best known for playing Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the Star Wars series, has revealed his favorite video games. Speaking to Wired, Christensen said he doesn’t play as much these days, but has fond memories of a few franchises in particular.

“I used to play a lot of video games. Not so much any more, ever since I became a dad. I was big into Call of Duty, Halo, and then FIFA. FIFA was kind of my go-to. Manchester United was the team I usually played with.”

Christensen has one child, a daughter, whom he co-parents with his former partner, the actress Rachel Bilson. Christensen became a father in 2014, so people are theorizing what specific Halo and Call of Duty games he might have been playing before he became a father. We don’t know for sure, but fans are having fun joking that they might have been matched up with Christensen in Halo 3 back in the day. Come from on…

Charlie Cox Returning as Daredevil in Echo

Time to give the devil his due once again as Charlie Cox will don the horned helm of Daredevil in the upcoming Echo series on Disney+, THR is reporting. Cox made his surprise return to Marvel in Spider-Man: No Way Home, cementing his role as attorney/superhero Matt Murdock aka Daredevil, carrying over from the Netflix show that debuted in 2015.

“If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil,” Feige told CinemaBlend back in December. “Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”

The report is also stating that Cox won’t be coming alone. Joining Cox will be Vincent D’Onofrio reprising his role as Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin. D’Onofrio made his proper MCU appearance back in Hawkeye, but will finally be reunited with his old adversary.

Echo’s series will have Maya Lopez (played by Alaqua Cox) who was introduced in Hawkeye, returning to her hometown to reconnect with her Native American…

HBO Max Orders The Real Magic Mike, An Unscripted Series About Getting Nude

HBO Max has given the green light to an unscripted competition series with the working title The Real Magic Mike, according to a release. The reality series is currently conducting a nationwide casting search, and is expected to debut on the streaming service later this year.

As the name suggests, the series is a spiritual companion to the 2012 film Magic Mike and its 2015 sequel Magic Mike XXL–both loosely based on the experiences of actor Channing Tatum, who was an 18-year-old stripper in Tampa, Florida. So, it’s only appropriate that Tatum and the producers behind the Magic Mike franchise are bringing about “an exhilarating and sexy series that will transform a group of men into real-life Magic Mikes.”

The show will feature “10 men who have ‘lost their magic'” as they “bare their souls… evolve their bodies, learn to perform spectacular routines, and develop a new level of self-confidence.” Although casting is not yet even complete and it’s unknown who will star, th…

Jump Force Review – Shonen Through And Through

Jump Force is a celebration of 50 years of Weekly Shonen Jump manga, featuring nearly four dozen fighters from 16 of the magazine’s most iconic stories. Bandai Namco’s arena tag-team fighting game borrows plenty of elements from its source materials, for better and worse. Although Jump Force’s campaign story drags on for way too long and ignores what could have been interesting character interactions in favor of repeated excuses for everyone to punch the crap out of each other, its combat is an enjoyable dance between two teams of fighters–thanks to the game’s excellent mechanics and flashy visuals.

In Jump Force, you’re an ordinary human who’s caught up in a warzone when the Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto universes collide into our world and bring their assortment of heroes and villains with them. After being mortally wounded by Frieza, you’re resurrected as a hero capable of learning the powers, skills, and abilities of Shonen Jump’s characters, and …

It's Avengers Vs. X-Men In Marvel Snap's March Update

A new season of Marvel Snap kicks off this week, and after February’s focus on the Thanos support squad, March is all about the Avengers and the X-Men. Specifically, Avengers vs. X-Men, as Earth’s mightiest mortals will be squaring off against Marvel’s mutants this month. Inspired by the 2012 crossover event, Marvel Snap players can look forward to five new cards, more variant designs, and two new locations to strategically take advantage of in matches.

This month’s new cards offer some variety and chaos, cunning counters, and strategic resource management if used correctly. Meanwhile, the new zones will help you bust out some powerful mid-level cards sooner and power up your other characters in battle. For anyone who has been on the receiving end of a Professor X shutdown, War Machine is going to come in very handy. This card’s On Reveal effect activates the next turn it plays and allows you to play your cards anywhere, making it invaluable for games where zones like Crimson …

Activision Blizzard Accepts Raven Software QA's Union, Set To Begin Negotiations

Following a recent union victory for members of Raven Software’s 27-person quality assurance team, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick states the company is recognizing the union and is set to begin good faith negotiations.

Accepting the union (called the Game Worker’s Alliance) and heading to the table to hash out a collective bargaining agreement is what Activision Blizzard is required to do by law following Raven QA’s successful union drive with the Communication Workers of America. Once at the table, contract negotiations can often be quite lengthy, which Kotick makes a point of mentioning in a letter sent to all Activision Blizzard’s US employees.

“While first labor contracts can take some time to complete, we will meet CWA leaders at the bargaining table and work toward an agreement that supports the success of all our employees, that further strengthens our commitment to create the industry’s best, most welcoming and inclusive workplace, and enhances our ability …
