Digital Ownership Is Not Ownership

Ryan Reynolds has sent fans into a frenzy with a recent Instagram post. Reynolds has released a first look at Wolverine and Deadpool in their costumes for Deadpool 3. The photo showcases the superhero pair walking side-by-side, but it's Wolverine's attire that has garnered particular attention. For fans of the X-Men comics, Wolverine's classic yellow costume is instantly recognizable and holds a special place in their hearts. However, despite Hugh Jackman's iconic portrayal of Wolverine for over two decades, the beloved yellow suit and mask have never made an appearance in the films. This glimpse into Deadpool 3 gives fans hope that they will finally see Wolverine donning the fan-favorite costume. In Deadpool 3, Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine, surprising fans who believed his portrayal had concluded with 2017's Logan. This exciting news opens up a world of possibilities for the film's storyline and the interaction between Deadpool and Wolverine, two characters known for their banter and unconventional dynamics. Adding to the excitement, it was reported last week that Jennifer Garner will also return to the Marvel universe as Elektra in Deadpool 3. Garner initially played the fierce assassin in 2005's Elektra, and her appearance in the upcoming film will surely thrill fans who have been eagerly waiting to see more of her character. The first look at Wolverine and Deadpool in Deadpool 3 has ignited excitement among fans. The inclusion of Wolverine's iconic yellow costume, the return of Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Garner to their respective roles, and the possibility of an epic crossover between the characters all contribute to the anticipation for the film's release. In other Marvel news, Electronic Arts (EA) has officially confirmed the long-rumored Black Panther game. The single-player action-adventure game, based on Marvel's Black Panther, is being developed by a newly established EA studio called Cliffhanger Games, located in Seattle. While EA did not release any screenshots or videos of the game, they did confirm that it will be an original third-person, single-player adventure developed in collaboration with Marvel Games. Kevin Stephens, the former studio head of Monolith Productions during the development of the Shadow of Mordor franchise, is leading the project. The team at Cliffhanger includes individuals who have previously worked on titles such as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Halo Infinite, God of War, and Call of Duty. The prospect of a Black Panther game from the minds behind Shadow of Mordor is undeniably exciting. Shadow of Mordor, released in 2014, received acclaim for its immersive storytelling, open-world exploration, and the innovative Nemesis System. This patented system allows non-playable characters to remember their interactions with the protagonist and dynamically respond to them. EA's intention with the Black Panther game is to create an expansive and reactive world, enabling players to experience what it's like to assume the mantle of Wakanda's protector, the Black Panther. This suggests that the game may incorporate similar mechanics to the groundbreaking Nemesis System. While fans eagerly anticipate delving into the world of Wakanda, it's important to note that the Black Panther game is still in its early stages of development. As such, it's unlikely to be released anytime soon. Are you excited for Deadpool 3 and the Black Panther game? Let us know in the comments below #Marvel #Wolverine #BlackPanther

In a major victory for Microsoft, a federal judge has ruled in favor of the company, denying the FTC’s request for a preliminary injunction to block the $69 billion deal to acquire Activision Blizzard. The ruling means that the deal can now move forward, pending further review by the FTC. The FTC had argued that the deal would give Microsoft too much power in the video game industry and that it would stifle competition. However, the judge found that the FTC had not presented enough evidence to support its claims. Microsoft president Brad Smith said that the company was “grateful” to the court for its decision. “This is a great day for Microsoft and our gaming fans,” he said. “We are excited to welcome the talented people of Activision Blizzard to our family and to continue to create the best games for our players.” The ruling is a major victory for Microsoft, and it is likely to have a significant impact on the video game industry. It remains to be seen whether the FTC will appeal the ruling, but for now, it appears that the deal to acquire Activision Blizzard is on track to close. What to Watch for Next The FTC has not yet said whether it will appeal the ruling. If it does, the case could go to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will need to continue to work on getting the deal approved by other regulators, such as the CMA in the UK. It is also worth watching to see how the deal affects the video game industry. Will other publishers try to acquire their own major studios? Will Microsoft use its new size and power to make it more difficult for other publishers to compete? Only time will tell what the long-term impact of the deal will be. But for now, it is a major victory for Microsoft and a significant development in the video game industry. #Xbox #Gaming #PrimeDay
