3. Teaser Trailer For Amazon Prime ‘Fallout’ Series Leaks Online
Fallout, the best-selling video game franchise, will be coming to Amazon Prime Video in 2024. Now, we’ve already seen some photos released and leaked from sets, and we know that the series will be set in and around Los Angeles’ Vault 33, but there’s been no trailer as of yet.
Until now.
According to @FilmsFallout on Twitter, a teaser trailer for the show has been leaked, and from all indications, it is legit. It has yet to be debunked and surprisingly has not been taken down.
The trailer starts with haunting, thrilling background music, with a constant clanging overture, and starts with a look at some VertiBirds taking off. It then cuts to a character seemingly holding onto a handrail on a VertiBird. He’s breathing heavily and looks to have just left something harrowing. It then cuts to a slow-motion hero walk shot of power armor suits walking toward the camera, VertiBirds landing in the background.
The next shot is where this trailer seems to get its verification. One of the shots released for the show is that of a vault door opening, the bright light outside silhouetting someone standing in the middle of the opening, and two people looking on. That same shot appears after the power armor, apparently with the person in the silhouette looking back, and they look to be female. It’s then followed up with a shot of a ghoul in a cowboy hat, apparently shooting up a settlement, and then it cuts to the ghoul’s face for an in-depth look at the show’s take on ghouls. The settlement looks like something straight out of the game, with structures made in the tell-tale, hodge-podge manner fans would recognize.
As the trailer ends, you can see the Los Angeles metropolitan landscape as it is hit with three nuclear bombs before flashing the logo that reads Fallout. The camera of the recording also panes down enough to see that this is being recorded in a theater, as there are people seated and you can make out their heads.
Amazon has not said anything regarding this trailer, but if it is indeed real, as it is suspected to be, we could see it sooner rather than later.

2. ‘Mass Effect’ Possibly Returning To Its Roots With Latest Game
When talking about the pros and cons of studios taking risks with their game series on the Xbox Two podcast, Jez Corden brought up Mass Effect as an example. The original trilogy kept to the series’ roots while expanding, then Andromeda changed things up by becoming an open-world experience. Corden then revealed something he’s been hearing within the industry. Something that, while potentially not accurate, is something fans will be happy to hear.
“I’ve heard that Mass Effect is ditching the open world and returning to its classic format.”
Though Andromeda might have seen sales success, critics and fans alike weren’t happy with all the ideas it presented. Of particular note was that in going open world, the plot felt less focused than that of the original trilogy, padded out with repetitive side content that felt almost meaningless. However, the combat of the game was praised, with many feeling it had been improved a lot from Mass Effect 3.
In the time since Andromeda’s 2017 release, BioWare has focused on games outside of Mass Effect. If what Corden has been hearing about the series returning to its roots is true, then it seems fans are in for a treat. And if BioWare has taken the criticism of Andromeda to heart, they are likely producing something that takes the best of both the original trilogy and Andromeda for their newest game.

1. Dafne Keen In ‘Deadpool 3’
With everything coming out about Deadpool 3, it seems to be shaping up as the next big multiverse movie. Spider-Man: No Way Home brought back both Tobey Maguire’s and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men, as well as various villains such as Doc Ock, and Green Goblin. This was the first big multiverse event in the MCU, and it seems Deadpool 3 could be the next one. The newest rumor is that Dafne Keen was in talks to come back as a grown-up Laura Kinney.
According to CanWeGetSomeToast On X (formerly Twitter), they revealed that sources said that Dafne Keen was in negotiations with Marvel to come back as a grown-up Laura Kinney in the movie before the strikes started. The role isn’t expected to be significant, and so expect more of a cameo from the character.
Her appearance, even just a cameo, would make sense considering Hugh Jackman is coming back as Wolverine. She would be another X-Men character to join the film as well. Once the strikes are over, we should expect more news on this role and others.
Deadpool 3 is expected to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.
