It doesn't look like Justice League, Batman v Superman, and Man of Steel director Zack Snyder will be returning to make any more movies in his 'Snyderverse' setting.

Speaking during a San Diego Comic-Con panel (and shared on Twitter by @themarveImaniac, below), DC Comics chief creative officer Jim Lee said Justice League: The Snyder Cut would likely be the director's final entry in the franchise.

"I work on the projects that are in development," Lee said. "I think the Snyder Cut was Zack's vision realised, and it was a really satisfying story he told, but there's no plans for additional work on that material."

The four hour version of Justice League did revitalise belief in Snyder's vision for a Marvel Cinematic Universe style take on DC films, as after it was released last year, #RestoreTheSnyderVerse trended on Twitter with over one million posts of support.

The film was left open-ended too, as Snyder said he wanted to stay true to the original vision (that would have a sequel) and "it's in-genre to end these movies on a cliffhanger".

DC's new bosses reortedly decided on a different direction, however, as in April this year Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav said he wanted to overhaul the company and find a Kevin Feige-like figure to oversee the new era. Films like The Joker (which IGN said was a masterpiece) would serve as a "shining example" of things moving forward.

Killzone: Mercenary first launched in September 2013 exclusively on the PlayStation Vita. The game's servers went down briefly back in 2020 without any advance notice or reason given, but they were eventually restored. However, they'll be closing for good soon.

Killzone Shadow Fall was released in November 2013 for PlayStation 4. Last year, Killzone’s website was “retired” but did not affect any online multiplayer functions at the time.

RIGS is a VR title that was released back in 2016. In our RIGS: Mechanized Combat League review, we said, "Rigs: Mechanized Combat League brings fast, intense multiplayer action to the PlayStation VR, but with a few notable caveats. While there was enough variety in the mechs to keep me playing through a full season of matches, the sub-par visuals distract, and big matchmaking issues made online wait times unbearable."

This isn’t the only game from Sony that suffered from server shutdowns recently. The last one that occurred was for multiple LittleBigPlanet games last year. Additionally, the servers for Everybody's Golf will shut down on September 30.

Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War directors the Russo brothers don't have any official plans to create a Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series but they do have a fun suggestion for one.

Speaking to TechRadar, Anthony Russo said he and his brother "love longform storytelling. That's why television has always appealed to us," plus movies based on long-running comics like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "We have a passion for TV shows and we love Marvel, but we don't have any plans to do something with them, either on the series or movie front.

When asked which heroes they'd pull from the comics, however, Joe Russo said: "Whatever we say, we're going to get asked about it 100 times over the next week. So let's pick the Great Lakes Avengers." That idea is on the more whimsical side as they suggested creating a show around the Great Lakes Avengers, that features characters including Mr. Immortal, Dinah Soar, Big Bertha, Flatman, and Doorman. Though the group was trained by Hawkeye, and has fought alongside Deadpool, they're not taken as seriously as their New York counterpart.

Russo was clearly having some fun with this, as they also suggested the story of 'Cheese-Man'. This dairy dynamo isn't actually a comic book character, and likely just a joke about the team's base in Wisconsin as "America's Dairyland", but he would likely match the style of the Great Lakes Avengers.

Thing is, given the Russos' stellar back catalogue in the MCU, we'd actually welcome their take on the GLA.

Disney is exploring the lighter side of the Marvel universe through its TV shows,with the likes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law being released just next month on August 17. If they do return to a deeper and more serious tone, the Russo Brothers have also expressed their love for the Secret Wars series of comics.

Disney reportedly wants to further bolster its streaming service by adding a new Doctor Who series to its library of entertainment.

Sources close to the matter have allegedly told Bloomberg that Disney is in the "early stages" of discussions with the BBC about the possibility of acquiring the streaming rights to a new series of Doctor Who. It comes at a time when the company is apparently looking to bulk up its current roster of programming on Disney+ with "established entertainment properties."

If a deal can be reached between the two companies, then the long-running sci-fi show would find its future season airing on Disney+ as well as the BBC, while every other series that has aired since Doctor Who's revival in 2005 is currently available to stream on HBO Max. That includes Season 13, also known as Doctor Who: Flux, which arrived on the platform just last month.

The BBC announced in May that Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa had been cast as Doctor Who's fourteenth Doctor, replacing Jodie Whittaker after her three-season tenure inside the TARDIS. Whittaker will star in one final episode later this year before she passes the torch to Gatwa for the 14th season, which is expected to air sometime in 2023.

Fortunately, that gives people a bit of time to get caught up on the modern era of the British sci-fi show before Gatwa's arrival. Check out IGN's guide on how to stream every episode of Doctor Who, including those starring previous incarnations of the Doctor such as Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and Jodie Whittaker.
