The newly released Netflix animated series Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld from creator Echo Wu sees Jentry (voiced by Ali Wong) get into all sorts of predicaments. Turns out, being a teen with supernatural powers taking on the Chinese underworld in a small Texas town is troublesome.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle joins Dragon Age: The Veilguard in the free PR win that comes with saying 'no Denuvo'

Contrary to what was suggested by some back-end Steam updates earlier this week, Bethesda has now confirmed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will not feature the controversial anti-piracy software Denuvo.

Kingsman star thinks another movie "could still happen", and he'd be keen "to do one more"

Looks like the Kingsman franchise might not be dead after all. Fans' hopes for more movies were dashed back in October, when 20th Century president Steve Asbell candidly told The Hollywood Reporter that the studio had "no plans" to do another chapter "anytime soon"."I believe that was said by somebody from Fox, I think," Taron Egerton, who plays Eggsy in the action-comedy flicks, explained to Screen Rant more recently, though, as he revealed he and creator Matthew Vaughn are keen to continue the
