'Conan Exiles' Official Announcement Trailer Revealed

By Crom!

By Alex Burns

While we might be waiting a while to see Conan make his return to the big screen there is something to get fans excited - Conan Exiles!

In the game, you are an exile, one of thousands cast out to fend for themselves in a barbaric wasteland swept by terrible sandstorms and besieged on every side by enemies. Here you must fight to survive, build and dominate.

Hungry, thirsty and alone, your very first battle is that against the harsh environment. Grow crops or hunt animals for food. Harvest resources to build weapons and tools. Build a shelter to survive. Ride across a vast world and explore alone, or band together with other players to build entire settlements and strongholds to withstand fierce invasions.

When strong enough, march forth into battle and wage war against your enemies as you fight to dominate the exiled lands. Sacrifice enemy players on the altars of the gods and shift the balance of power your way. Unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying.

Developed by Funcom Conan Exiles is an open-world survival game that will begin early access on PC in Summer this year before then following with a full PC and console released to follow.

Tom Welling Talks Playing Superman Again on CBS's Supergirl

Tom Welling Talks Playing Superman Again on CBS's Supergirl

Smallville Reprisal?

By Alex Burns

Tom Welling played the role of Kal-El/Clark Kent longer than any other actor during the ten year run of The CW's Smallville series. Fans have often speculated about a return to the role for the actor after we last saw him finally suiting up as Superman for the Smallville series finale. In an interview with Buzzfeed, Welling himself spoke on the matter, specifically addressing coming back to appear on the new Supergirl series on CBS.

"There's people who would like it," Welling said. "There's people who don't like it, but I will tell you that no one has ever asked me to do it. So, I don't know. It would be kind of odd. I don't know who he is at that point. He would obviously be Superman..."

So, that's not a yes, but it's certainly not a no either. To be honest I can't see this happening and I'd much rather see some kind of one-off Smallville special or something like that. I'm a huge fan of the show, I was 11 when the first episode aired and 21 when the series came to a close, I grew up with Tom Welling and even though he spent about 10 seconds in the red cape he's absolutely MY Superman.

We've already had the Smallville Season 11 comic to appease fans hungry for more but heck who wouldn't want to see Welling get a little more screen time as the man of steel? There have been non-stop rumours about the actor also turning up in Arrow or The Flash and with the latter having alternate realities popping up every week, who's to say one of those worlds isn't our very own Smallville TV show! Crazier things have happened...

'Green Lantern Corps' Movie Tease

No Justice League Movie Will Escape Their Sight!

By Alex Burns

The CW's 'Dawn of the Justice League' showcased great looks at upcoming DC Films including Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg. However, one notable absense from the Justice League concept art advertising the special was Green Lantern. 

After the mistep that was the Ryan Reynold's 2011 effort there has been an air of mystery as to how the hero will make an appearance in the upcoming Justice League movies. While the footage below confirms the Green Lantern Corps movie it still doesn't shed much light on how these intergalactic heroes will fit into the wider DC Universe on-film. How do you think it will all pan out? For now, enjoy the tease in the player below.

'Green Lantern Corps' is set for release June 19th 2020.

Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man Reboot Changes Release Date

Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man Reboot Changes Release Date

The Star Wars Effect

By Alex Burns

Sony Pictures have announced that their co-produced with Marvel Studios Spider-Man reboot has altered it's release date. That's right the new Spidey feature will bow on July 7th 2017 instead of it's original July 28th 2017 release. July 7th was set for Pirates of the Caribbean: Daed Men Tell No Tales but that has jumped to occupy Star Wars: Episode VIII's old release date of May 27th as that film has now moved to December 17th the same year.

It's worth noting that Disney calls the shots on all these features so they really have had a juggle behind the scenes to accomodate the move of Star Wars Episode VIII which was announced earlier today. Tom Holland takes on the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the hired reboot of the popular Marvel chracter in two decades. Spidey will make an appearance in Captain AMerica: Civil War. We'll have more on the MCU developments as they come so keep it locked at Cape and Cowl.

Star Wars Episode VIII Delayed Until December 2017

Star Wars Episode VIII Delayed Until December 2017

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

By Alex Burns

Disney have confirmed that the next instalment in the Star Wars saga has been delayed until December 15th 2017. So we have to wait a little longer for Episode VIII, I'm sure this news will actually be received positively from the Star Wars fanbase as it just means the new trilogy will now last longer, all the buzz and excitement is part of the fun of these movies. No one should be in a rush for these movies to hit cinema screens sooner and frankly the two year gap is still a little too short for my tastes!

The next Pirates of the Caribbean movie, 'Dead Men Tell No Tales', will take Episode VIII's original May 26th release and it seems Disney are keen to repeat the record-shattering box office success of The Force Awakens in the December release window with the Rian Johnson directed Episode VIII.

We'll have more details on everything Star Wars so keep it locked at Cape and Cowl.
