Well, it looks like the rumors were true. as a new Ironheart Disney+ series was announced by Kevin Feige. Not just that but Dominique Thorne has been cast as Riri Williams. Not much is known about the show’s direction but it seems like they’ll stick close to the comics. A while back I had the theory she might replace Iron Lad, as the character to have a connection with Kang. The fact she is getting a series of her own might add more relevance to that theory, so it will be interesting to see how things develop.

First Look at ‘Loki’ Disney+ Series
We didn’t just get a trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier but also for the third Disney+ series Loki. Kevin Feige described it as a mystery thriller, which is quite an interesting approach to this iconic character. The trailer was amazing, as it unveiled some movie-level effects and set pieces. It looks like whatever Loki will be up to might destroy the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It might be interesting to see how it all ties together, especially as the ending has unveiled he will once again meet Thor and Heimdall. After Heimdall’s death at the hands of Thanos, it opens up a lot of questions if he remains in a separate universe. The series will premier in Mai, which seems to hint at a two-month release window for each show.

Pixar Announces ‘Toy Story’ Spin-Off ‘Lightyear’
Yes, you read that right. Toy Story is getting a spin-off that focuses on everyone’s favorite space captain Buzz Lightyear.

It’s a great idea that was explored in the past in an animated form, so we will see how this new film will retell the story that made Buzz the character he thought he was in the original 1995 film.

They even gave us gameplay reveal that looks a lot like the zombie shooter we all have missed. Valve is infamous for not continuing their games beyond the second entry, so it is great to see this popular franchise make its return after a long hiatus. They teased that it will also be story-heavy and continue the spirit with even larger zombies. The alpha will also be available next week.

‘Final Fantasy VII’s Sephiroth Joins ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’
It looks like all our expectations were completely off. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has officially added Sephiroth as the next playable character. Not just that, he will be made playable already in December. We all guessed it would be Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon or, if they add someone from Square-Enix, it would be Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Well, it looks like Cloud will be joined by his iconic villain, which may also include a brand new Final Smash for our Final Fantasy VII hero.

First Look at ‘Nier Replicant’ Gameplay Released
Finally, we got an in-depth trailer of Nier Replicant. It was briefly teased at the Tokyo Game Show, as they have updated the game not just graphically but also made sure the gameplay is closer to that of Nier Automata. As a huge fan of the franchise, it is great to see the original get a remake to bring it back to the forefront. Automata was quite a success when it released but many forget that the original game that started this Drakengard spin-off was more of a niche release. The music alone makes me want to revisit this franchise in the upcoming remake.
