With traditional trade shows like E3 and Gamescom cancelled in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Microsoft is planning to bring a slice of the show floor experience to your living room. As part of Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, Microsoft will make dozens of demos for upcoming Xbox One games available to download for a week.
In a blog post, Microsoft’s Glenn Gregory cautions that the demos won’t always be representative of the final product, since many of the games are some way off their release. That’s standard practice for show floor demos, of course, but it’s unusual for a major gaming platform to make unfinished games available to such a wide audience.
There’ll be more than 60 demos available, and while the list is still being...

We’re going to be colliding two worlds in this fan art spotlight. Or worlds within a world. Avengers and X-Men may be two major superhero franchises featuring Marvel Comics heroes, but to date they have very much been separate universes. OK, I know that’s going to change in the near future now that Disney bought all the toys in the store, but as far as Fox’s X-Men characters go, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see them battling crims alongside the like of Captain America or Howard the Duck (the greatest Avenger). That leaves any crossovers to the minds of the internet’s creative superfans.
In Avengers: Endgame, we saw a brand new supersuit debuted – a very swish white time-travel outfit that featured prominently in its marketing. Like I said, it’s unlikely we’d ever see, say, Fox’s Wolverine as played by Hugh Jackman donning an Avengers suit. But that doesn’t stop us from wondering what if. Check out the gallery below to see Instagram artist @gaben.art’s take on how Wolverine would look in the time-travel suit:
Got there in the end. I never miss an opportunity to make things sound more complicated than they are. If I might lend my not exactly penetrating thoughts on the drawing (it’s all me me me today), this Wolverine looks disconcertingly like Mel Gibson. 2020 has given us all some bad breaks, but Mel Gibson’s casting in a superhero movie would be down there with the worst. I hope for your sake you can unsee the likeness (or don’t see it at all).
If you’ve got any thoughts of your own on this Avengers: Endgame–X-Men franchise-melding fan art, do leave them below. Hopefully they’ll be more flattering than the comparison I drew. Keep it with the Jackman, there’s some advice for the ages.
The campaign for the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League was clearly a landmark victory for fans of the franchise, after it finally got the green light for an official release on HBO Max. Bolstered by the win, the DCEU loyal have now set their sights on the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad.
And as it turns out, by David Ayer’s own admission, his cut of the film already exists. The #ReleaseTheAyerCut fan campaign seems to be making some serious headway and during a recent Q&A Ayer said that the decision to screen it rests solely on the shoulders of AT&T and HBO Max.
Cut definitely exists – you’ll need to ask @ATT and @hbomax to let it see the sunlight

Ayer has made it very clearly known that the version of Suicide Squad that was released in theaters was not as he intended. Even going so far as to say that it wouldn’t require too much of an additional budget to be made ready for release. At least, not as much as the revised Justice League cut reportedly cost.
Ayer compared the tone of his unrealized film to that of 2019’s Joker, saying that his version was eventually made less dark after the disappointing reception of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. The filmmaker has even been releasing snippets of unused sequences on social media, probably in an attempt to get his shot at getting back into the editing room and redeeming his baby.
Jared Leto’s performance is another aspect of the movie that Ayer said was drastically edited and truncated. The Ayer Cut of the Suicide Squad might not radically change the final product, but we might at least get to see more of Leto’s Joker in action. Even if the Ayer Cut does end up on HBO Max, it seems more likely that James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad will still be the film that paves the way forward for the franchise in the DCEU.
