Uh oh, it’s sounding like The Witcher season 4 will have even more new faces, as the actor behind Vesemir has also reportedly been replaced.We’ve known for quite a while now (two years in fact) that when The Witcher season 4 rocks up presumably sometime next year it won’t be Henry Cavill playing the one and only Geralt of Rivia, but Liam Hemsworth. It was a choice that didn’t exactly go down well with fans, as many really like Cavill’s performance as the titular Witcher, but hey ho, what can you do? For the most part since then casting appears to have remained the same, with some new talent joining as new characters for the upcoming season, but according to Redanian Intelligence, there’s another character that’s been recast: Geralt’s mentor Vesemir.To see this content please enable targeti…

The Mandalorian & Grogu might not have a great name, but with Sigourney Weaver joining the cast, at least you’re more likely to be in for a good time.Back in May, it was reported that Alien, Avatar, and [insert third film beginning with A I’m sure she starred in for some nice alliteration], star Sigourney Weaver was in talks to join the The Mandalorian sequel film The Mandalorian & Grogu. Now, in a new interview with Deadline, the iconic actor has confirmed that she will be appearing in the Star Wars flick, a big addition to what will be the first Star Wars film in seven years by the time it releases – there’s only been TV shows since 2019’s Episode 9 – The Rise of Skywalker.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings When asked what the next movie We…

Oh boy, it’s happening again. The war between cheaters and Call of Duty’s anti-cheat software is kicking off once again. This time, the battle is rumbling aroun the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta, where early testing of Activision Blizzard’s home-grown Ricochet anti-cheat software is ticking away and stamping out cheaters where it can.However, as is the way with this sort of thing, cheaters are hard at work trying to figure out their way around such measures. Already there are clips of cheats in-action within beta matches, but for the moment bans come fast as long as reports land on suspicious players.

While it might not be the awards you were expecting, the Fallout show has in fact won a couple of Emmys.Not that many people had doubts, but the Fallout show is now Officially Good, at least if winning an award from a long-running awards body is the thing that determines such a thing. It was the 76th annual Emmys last night, where a whole bunch of awards were given out to, mostly, Shogun (it took home 14 all in all, a record breaking total). But the incredibly popular Shogun wasn’t the only show to win awards, it couldn’t win them all after all, and everyone’s favourite video game adaptation this year (it was never going to be you, Borderlands movie), took home two of them!To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The first is one you probably won’t even be…
