The beginning of the end of the Marvel Cinemative Universe begins today. The directors, the Russo brothers, of both the final two films in the Avengers series posted a purple glove raising 4 fingers on Facebook today. The film that will follow 2018's Avengers: Infinity War has been rumored to be titled Infinity Gauntlet. Spider-Man's solo title sequel should begin the events of the 4th phase of the Marvel Universe and are said to be very different from what we've seen so far. There is also a lot of speculation around who's wearing the glove, as the Russo's gave no explanation of who it belongs to. Avengers: Infinity War will hit theaters May 4th, 2018 while Avengers 4 will hit theaters May 3rd 2019. Are you ready to say goodbye to some of our most iconic super hero actors over the past decade?

Overwatch is in the middle of it's newest event and it looks like we already have an idea of what the next feature is going to be. Overwatch will be getting two new modes in the form of death match as well as a free for all, allowing players to win based solely on eliminations and not objectives. The free for all mode will go until a player reaches 20 kills where the team deathmatch mode will be two teams of 6 racing to get 30 combined kills. Marcy resurrections will also detract from the other teams total kill count. Certain levels have been modified in order to support the new game type as well as the addition of Château Guillard, specially for the elimination mode. Both of these are available on the PTR so players can get a feel for them before they hit the official game servers in the next few weeks.
Netflix may be trying to open the door to it's own super hero universe. The streaming service has purchased the company behind the comics for Kick Ass, Kingsman, and Wanted. The comics turned films were all created by Mark Millar, a former Marvel writer, who's films adaptations have proved fairly popular at the box office, especially with the Kingsman franchise. The bad news of the deal is that it looks like those titles were not part of it, so we won't be seeing a Kick Ass or Kingsman Netflix series anytime soon but it does open up the possibility of developing other Millarworld comics such as Superior, Nemesis, Empress, and a handful of other titles. Guess we will just have to wait and see which directions Netflix is going to take their latest acquisition.
Disney has been in the planning stages or creating their own streaming service for quite some time and it looks like they are ready to pull their catalog from one major provider. Disney announced that they will be removing all of their films from Netflix but not until the end of 2018, prior to the launch of their official app in 2019. The Marvel TV series are said to remain on the service as they are produced through Netflix. Along with the news, ESPN will also be launching a streaming service that will broadcast an estimated 10,000 sporting events annually. The news also had an immediate effect of Netlflix, sending it's shares down over 5 percent. While we are a few years away from Disney's app materializing, it is still going to be a massive hit to Netflix and other services.
