On September 17, the previously PS5-exclusive RPG Final Fantasy 16 finally arrives on PC. Of course, that means that people will start to mod the game, adding or tweaking content. But if you are one of those modders, please know that the game’s producer doesn’t want any naughty stuff, okay?

James Cameron‘s post-Avatar plans keep getting bigger. After purchasing the rights to adapt Charles Pellegrino‘s 2015 novel Last Train From Hiroshima, Cameron snapped up the right to the follow-up book Ghosts of Hiroshima. Cameron says he plans to combine both novels for a film he’ll shoot as soon as his Avatar production schedule allows. The Hiroshima project marks Cameron’s first non-Avatar film project since 1997’s Titanic. Cameron still plans to call his forthcoming film Last Train From Hiroshima.
According to Deadline‘s exclusive report, Cameron’s Last Train From Hiroshima film focuses on the actual story of a Japanese man during World War II who survived the atomic blast at Hiroshima, got on a train to Nagasaki, and survived the nuclear explosion in that city. Wow! What are the odds?
Deadline says Pellegrino’s books take inspiration from the voices of bomb survivors and the new science of Forensic archaeology. Pellegrino digs into the events and aftermath of two days in August 1945, when nuclear devices detonated over Japan changed history, scarring the world forever with memories of tragedy, hubris, and cruelty. The books cite eyewitness accounts of those who experienced the explosions, the civilians on the ground, and the American flyboys. History suggests the bombs killed an estimated 150,000 and 246,000 people.
“It’s a subject that I’ve wanted to do a film about, that I’ve been wrestling with how to do it, over the years,” Cameron told Deadline. “I met Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a survivor of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just days before he died. He was in the hospital. He was handing the baton of his personal story to us, so I have to do it. I can’t turn away from it.” While visiting Yamaguchi, Cameron and Pellegrino pledged to “pass on his unique and harrowing experience to future generations.”
Cameron takes on immense responsibility by vowing to tell Tsutomu Yamaguchi’s story and honor those whose lives were lost or forever altered by the tragic events. Considering Cameron’s care for his projects, I feel Yamaguchi’s story is in great hands. Regarding when he’ll get the chance to film Last Train From Hiroshima is anyone’s guess, knowing how long it takes to complete chapters of the Avatar series.

Last week, it was reported that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is in talks to take the helm of the fourth Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man film now that Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far from Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts having moved on to other projects. Also last week, the final trailer for Sony’s Marvel-inspired film Venom: The Last Dance dropped online, revealing that the movie features the villainous Knull, “an eldritch god of darkness and the creator of the symbiotes.” Now, The Cosmic Circus has shared the RUMOR that, while Venom: The Last Dance is meant to be the last entry in the Venom franchise, leaving it as a trilogy, that movie might not be the last time we see Tom Hardy play Eddie Brock and his symbiote pal Venom, nor would it be the last time we see Knull, as they could both be showing up in Spider-Man 4!
According to The Cosmic Circus, Marvel Studios and Sony have been at odds on what sort of approach should be taken to Spider-Man 4. Marvel wanted to make a “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” movie with the hero teaming up with fellow street-level hero Matt Murdock / Daredevil (played by Charlie Cox) to face off with the villain Wilson Fisk / Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) following the events of the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again. While Spidey and DD worked together to bring down Kingpin, they might also encounter enemies like the crime syndicate the Maggia, the super-powered gangster Mister Negative, scientist Spencer Smythe (creator of the Spider-Slayers robots), and/or Scorpion and Prowler, characters who were set up in Spider-Man: Homecoming with the appearance of their alter egos, played by Michael Mando and Donald Glover. On the other hand, Sony has been pushing to make the movie another high stakes multiversal adventure like Spider-Man: No Way Home… and from what The Cosmic Circus has heard, Sony might be the winner in this argument. The street-level Daredevil team-up might be set aside in favor of a multiversal Venom crossover.
Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus reports, “Recently, I heard that the upcoming Spider-Man film might pit Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Tom Hardy’s Venom together, with Venom: The Last Dance setting up the interaction. By the end of Venom: The Last Dance, we may see Eddie Brock cross over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with some sources indicating that the recent reshoots in NYC for Venom: The Last Dance has to do with that, but that remains unconfirmed for now. Not only that, but I’m hearing that the potential villain for this film would be Knull, who is seeking to enshroud the entire multiverse in his darkness following its discovery. It’s important to note that the Venom symbiote is currently in two different universes, the Sony-Verse and the MCU. This link may spark Knull to seek out Venom in 616 and be on a mission to engulf the multiverse in darkness. … Knull has some interesting origins deeply rooted within the Multiverse, so the idea could be plausible. Who knows? Maybe Knull lost his Necrosword in an incursion, and it slipped into 616 while he hid in the middle of two multiverses.“
As Perez mentions, Knull has history (in the comics) with the Necrosword, which was wielded by Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder. In fact, “In the comics, All-Black the Necrosword was the first symbiote. It was manifested from the shadow of the evil deity Knull and tempered inside the head of a Celestial now known as Knowhere.” Knowhere being a location that was seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. The Venom symbiote is also split between the universe the Venom films take place in and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as a piece of the symbiote was left behind when Venom briefly visited the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home. That was obviously setting up story possibilities for the future, and it looks like Sony might be following up on it sooner than Marvel Studios expected to.
What do you think of these Spider-Man 4 rumors? Would you rather see a movie where Spider-Man and Daredevil team up to take down Kingpin and other street-level threats, or a movie where Spider-Man and Venom team up to save the multiverse from Knull? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

Things are tough all over when you’re Eddie Brock. Sure, he’s got a powerful symbiote writhing beneath his quirky exterior, but I don’t see Venom doing anything to help pay the bills, do you? Maybe that’s why Eddie pays a visit to UFC CEO Dana White in a new promo for Sony and Marvel’s Venom: The Last Dance.
Before the threequel‘s October 25 theatrical release, Venom: The Last Dance continues to target its crucial demographic by getting known UFC personalities to help promote the upcoming film. In today’s Venom: The Last Dance promo, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) hits UFC boss Dana White up for money amid a heated phone call. White, already frustrated, tells Eddie to hit the bricks. Eddie wants to walk away from the impromptu meeting with some cash, but he says he’ll fight anyone to earn the scratch. After getting denied and sent packing, Eddie bumps into American mixed martial artist Sean O’Malley and wrestles him to the ground. When White finds O’Malley tussling with Brock in the hallway, White throws a wad of cash to the floor, hoping it’s enough to send Brock on his way.
Here is the official synopsis from the studio: In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo is forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.
Hardy is reprising the role of Eddie Brock / Venom for this sequel, and he is joined in the cast by Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Clark Backo (Letterkenny), and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). Official details on the new characters have not been revealed. Still, Ejiofor is not playing his Doctor Strange character, Baron Mordo, since the Venom films are in a different universe than the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
Do you think the UFC crowd is excited about Venom: The Last Dance? What do you think about the new Venom promo? Could Venom defeat the whole UFC cast? Who would give the symbiote a run for his money? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
