No Feud Here. Downey is Doctor Doom and Doomsday Keeps Rolling

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has officially become the sixth movie ever to cross the $2 billion mark worldwide. It is also the filmmaker’s third to hit the milestone, alongside Titanic and the original Avatar. The sequel grossed $2.024B globally and $1.426B from overseas turnstiles. It has become the No. 4 title of all time overseas, jumping past Avengers: Infinity War and behind only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Titanic. This gives Cameron bragging rights to three of the top four movies ever at the international box office. It has also grossed $227M from IMAX, overtaking Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the 2nd highest-grossing movie in the format’s history. Actor Jeremy Renner, who stars in the Marvel series Hawkeye, has provided an update on his recovery from a snow-plowing accident that left him with over 30 broken bones. He took to Twitter to thank his fans for their messages and appreciation, and to let them know that he will recover from his injuries. He also showed a sense of humor in response to a tweet from Captain America actor Chris Evans. The accident occurred on January 1st, as Renner was trying to help a family member who was stuck in the snow and was run over by his own vehicle. The stunt team behind the upcoming Star Wars Disney+ series, "Skeleton Crew," has confirmed that filming has wrapped up and the series is set to premiere later this year. The series is an Amblin/Spielberg-like coming-of-age story about a group of kids lost in space around the same timeframe as The Mandalorian, with not much more information about the series has been released. The series was first announced by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau at Star Wars Celebration 2022 and creator Jon Watts has described it as "the story of their journey trying to find their way home." The series is expected to premiere alongside other new live-action and animation content and a major video game from the Star Wars franchise. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks -Headlines Theme Song- "Neon Laser Horizon" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The European Parliament voted to adopt a report calling for the European Commission to address several issues in the games industry that it believes will better protect consumers, especially young people. The report was led by MEP Adriana Maldonado López and made more than a dozen recommendations, including harmonized rules across the European Union’s single market when providing clear information about games content and systems that help parents understand and control how much time and money their children spend on games. The Pan European Game Information (PEGI) age rating system was highlighted as an example of something that could deliver more transparent information about the content, target age group, and in-game purchase options to consumers. They also call for developers to “avoid designing games that feed an addiction,” and other actions recommended include prioritizing data protection, improving the gender imbalance in the industry’s workforce, and making it as easy for consumers to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up. The European Parliament also recognized the value of the video games sector, as well as its potential to help with education, mental health, and other aspects of life.

A new report from Avatar News suggests that Netflix’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and the world being built by Avatar Studios are related and that Netflix has the rights to adapt the characters and story of the show. The report also suggests that the relationship between Avatar Studios and Netflix is positive, but this has not been officially confirmed. The creators of the animated series, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, were originally attached to the live-action series at Netflix, but they announced their departure two years into the development of the show. They are now co-chief creative officers of Avatar Studios, a division of Nickelodeon dedicated to expanding the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

Ubisoft has updated its strategy for the near future, and in a new statement, has revealed that it has canceled three unannounced games and has delayed Skull and Bones yet again. Attributing this leaner focus on “major challenges” and an industry that it says is shifting towards “mega-brands and long-lasting titles,” Ubisoft says that its recent launches have not performed as well as expected. The company will now focus more of its efforts on building its current brands and live service titles and has revised its Q3 2022-23 net bookings target, which it now expects to reach approximately $779 million versus its prior target of approximately $831 million. Skull and Bones, which has been delayed several times, will be released in 2024 and will have an upcoming beta phase before it launches, aiming to have a much more polished and balanced experience. -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Pushing Buttons: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Sloop: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: thegeekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks
