The film has reportedly been under development for the past 3 years and has yet to be finished. - Final Fantasy will have a new minigame called Justice Monsters Five that will come to both the iOS, Android and windows. - A new trailer is shown featuring a young Noctis and a small, white fox like creature.

The official release date for Final Fantasy 15 is September 30th as previously leaked. They'll be more videos and post to come in the future! One last trailer showed a transforming car that flew into the air. Last year, actress Jennifer Lawrence gave Xmen film fans some bad news in the news that she was ready to leave the franchise after the trilogy has concluded but she has apparently changed her mind. Speaking with Empire magazine while on set of filming May's X Men: Apocalypse, Lawrence stated that she is "dying to come back." She went on to say that, “I love these movies, I love being in them. I love ensemble movies because it’s not on anyone’s shoulders." While we don't know the outcome of our heroes in the latest film, we do know that actors James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Holt's contracts end after the 3rd film. If they franchise continues with the new mutant cast members, there is certainly a lot of room left for Mystique to continue to be an ally or possibly founding her own brotherhood of mutants as becoming a villain. Hopefully we will see more of Lawrence in the future as she's a fantastic actress and Mystique's one of the most interesting and polarizing female figures in comics. X Men: Apocalypse hits theaters May 27th, 2016.
CBS renewed a large handful of it's current show's but one new series has been left behind. Supergirl, the latest superhero series to debut on television, began pretty well rating's wise back in October but has since fallen over the last several weeks to a "less than impressive," viewership. Last night's flash crossover however hit a 5 week high in ratings. The CW series, currently on it's second season, has fared far better than DC's leading lady. Monday is a competitive night for television as is and the low ratings aren't helping either. While the season finale has been teased to open doors for the next season, whether or not we'll be seeing the woman of steel is in the hands of CBS executives. The season finale for Supergirl airs Monday, April 18th.

Nintendo's first smartphone app was just recently released in Japan to big success but it looks like it's coming to the U.S. a lot sooner than expected. Miitomo, the conversational app experience from Nintendo, will allow users to create a Mii and interact with other friends mii's in a social space. After some general "get to know you," questions, gamer's will be allowed to purchase fun items and clothes for their characters. This marks the first of a series of app's Nintendo is planning on releasing for iOS and Android devices and should certainly be a fun way to interact with friends all over the world! You can pre-register for the app on Nintendo's website now and the app will be available to everyone March 31st!
This movie can't catch a break. Regardless of being a fan of the casting choice, Gambit seemed like it was ready to move ahead as it was originally scheduled to shoot this month but it looks like that's going to change. After a swap in directors and initial delay, it looks like Gambit's undergoing some rewrites and will instead begin shooting sometime this fall. This is bad news considering Fox had already removed Gambit from it's release date at the end of February. Whether or not we'll be seeing this movie is still up in the air so we can only hope that after these rewrites that Gambit will be well on it's way.

Fantastic news for fans who have yet to get their fill in exploring the post-apocalyptic Boston. The Far Harbor DLC will be released this May.
