Lionsgate has revealed the new release date for the Ana de Armas-led spin-off movie.

There are a lot of ways to judge a great performance. In 2023, as in every year, some of the year’s best movies were quirky, colorful, boundary-pushing challenges to the cinematic status quo, and some were low-key, emotionally intense stories, either tracking the lives of famous historical figures or just trying to evoke the pains of real life. Our list of the best performances of the year honors both extremes: outsized performances that tickled and surprised us, and realistic ones that made us forget we were watching a performance. Here are our favorites among the many great performances we saw in movies in 2023.

It’s certainly not every day that a developer announces they’re making a new game set in the universe of Hellboy, Mike Mignola’s long-running supernatural-action comic series. For Patrick Martin and Adam Langridge, co-founders of U.K.-based game studio Upstream Arcade, it was a dream come true.

Remedy made sure to remember two dearly departed collaborators in the credits of Alan Wake 2.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd is now making its way to digital store shelves around the globe with a cast list made up of many familiar names.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd launches today now across platforms, with its launch marking one of Lance Reddick's final performances following his death earlier this year.

As a longtime Hellboy fan, it continues to astound me that there are desperately few video game adaptations of the big red monkey devil’s exploits. There’s a lot to love about Mike Mignola’s almost 30-year-old hellion, from his look, to the fable-flavored supernatural world he skulks around righting wrongs and protecting the innocent, to the often touching pieces of self-reflection throughout the many stories that touch on themes of loneliness, discrimination, found families, and the risks and rewards of rising to a higher calling. Seven hours with Web of Wyrd was a good reminder of the challenges involved with turning such a complex work into an interactive game where our actions matter. While it nails much of the look of the graphic novels, Web of Wyrd trades substantial story and characters for an entertaining but low-stakes, action-packed romp whose roguelite elements fail to put up enough of a fight to give the heavy-handed devil his due.

The arc represents one of the great epics in comics, spanning three decades of imaginative historical pulp storytelling built upon the gorgeous art and iconic vision of creator Mike Mignola, but its explorations into other media have varied greatly in quality. Upstream Arcade's stands as Big Red’s newest video game foray, an unsteady clunker of an action-roguelite which borrows from other genre classics but seemingly fails to understand the fundamentals of the greats, feeling like either an interrupted project or a mismanaged would-be gem.

CD Projekt Red might have stumbled a bit when they got Cyberpunk 2077 out the door and into the hands of the public. It was filled with bugs and poor optimization, which even prompted Sony to remove the game from their digital storefront for a period. However, the studio continued to work through the issues and delivered players with a series of patches to bring the game up to their standards. Now, the latest big update and expansion added a new area and content to take in. With that said, there was one obstacle developers had to figure out, and it was based on a deceased voice actor.

If you have roughly three hours of time, a great way to spend it is by watching John Wick: Chapter 4. In case you haven’t watched the latest installment in the franchise, helmed by Keanu Reeves, and featuring the late and great Lance Reddick, plus a knockout performance by Donnie Wen, you ought to. The 4K Blu-ray is, of course, the best way to enjoy the film, assuming you have a dedicated player, or a PS5 or Xbox Series X.

There aren’t nearly enough courtroom dramas at the movies these days. What was once one of the most popular genres in the United States, during the heyday of movies like A Few Good Men or A Time to Kill, is now all but vanished, or worse, relegated to television shows that are six-hours longer than they need to be. But The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, which released a trailer on Thursday, is here to fix that. The movie is set to be released on Oct. 6 on Paramount Plus with Showtime.

Not long after the completion of their biggest heist and quiet transition into retirement, sees the infamous Payday Gang forced back into the crime scene. It appears like someone that the gang has wronged in the past is seeking revenge, as the game's opening moment reveals that an explosion nearly took out five of them. Despite failing, the gang's accounts have been frozen and seized, leaving them broke and revealing a greater conspiracy. To fight back, the gang carries out a number of heists and operations to both uncover who all is behind this and bring them down.

A new trailer for the highly-anticipated Percy Jackson series is everything that fans have been waiting for.

You know the deal: It’s not TV, it’s HBO.

Max has released the first teaser trailer for, a new animated spin-off of DC’s Harley Quinn series.

If the last Hellboy film left you cold on the franchise, the new game – Hellboy: Web of Wyrd – might just have you rekindling what you love about the character and world all over again.

The first John Wick installments are heading to as part of the.

October continues to fill up. The latest game entering this particular month is Hellboy Web of Wyrd, the roguelite brawler with an art style to match Mike Mignola's comics. It's coming to PS5 and PS4 on 4th October 2023, as revealed in this new trailer.

Get ready for action brawling in the shoes of the big red guy himself, Hellboy, as Hellboy Web of Wyrd has a proper release date: October 4, 2023. The release date trailer dropped this week from developer Upstream Arcade and publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment, and frankly that's pretty dang exciting. 

And neither are the Max Payne remakes.

October is already the most stacked month for releases, and Mike Mignola’s Hellboy: Web of Wyrd joins the pack. The upcoming brawler based on the popular comic series kicks off Halloween month with its arrival on October 4.

The first trailer for the upcoming Disney Plus series Percy Jackson and the Olympians is here, plunging us straight into the world of Greek mythology.

Bungie has confirmed that Destiny’s Commander Zavala has been recast following the tragic passing of Lance Reddick earlier this year, but stated that the late actor’s existing work in the games will remain untouched.

Destiny 2 fans have been wondering who would be stepping into the role of a central character in its franchise following the untimely passing of its actor. Yesterday, Bungie answered that question, announcing Keith David as taking over the role of Commander Zavala following the death of Lance Reddick.

Bungie has announced that actor Keith David will be taking up the role of Commander Zavala in Destiny 2 going forward. The studio made the announcement through a blog post, and has further stated that Zavala will be sticking around in Destiny 2‘s future storylines.

Earlier this year, Destiny 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn (among many other roles) actor Lance Reddick passed away unexpectedly. In Destiny 2, Reddick played Commander Zavala – an important recurring character in Destiny lore. Reddick was also an outspoken fan of the game that engaged with the community often, so recasting his role was always going to be a difficult task.

Destiny 2 is one of today’s most influential space games, and it’s largely due to how well-written Bungie’s cast of characters is in-game. From Osiris to Commander Zavala, Destiny 2 has a variety of iconic faces beloved by fans from all over the globe. Lance Reddick, the English voice of Zavala, passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. A new voice actor will now take on the role, and many long-standing Bungie fans may recognize his name from Halo.

Bungie has announced that Commander Zavala’s journey in Destiny 2 isn’t over and that his late voice actor, Lance Reddick, will be replaced by Keith David for the English language in the upcoming The Final Shape expansion and beyond.

Bungie has announced that the new voice of Destiny 2‘s Commander Zavala will be none other than the legendary Keith David. David is known for a variety of acclaimed performances, having appeared in Cloud Atlas, Pitch Black, and the Halo franchise. He will now continue Zavala’s journey following the tragic news that the character’s former actor, Lance Reddick, had passed away earlier this year.

Destiny developer Bungie has discussed how it plans to continue the character of Commander Zavala following the death of voice actor Lance Reddick earlier this year.

We had a disheartening loss earlier this year when word broke that actor Lance Reddick passed away. While known for many projects, you might know him as Commander Zavala from the Bungie Destiny franchise. This character played an iconic role, so finding out the actor passed was a huge hit in the Destiny community. While we still mourn his loss and cherish the content from his previously released projects, the future was uncertain regarding Commander Zavala. Thanks to a new post on the Bungie website, we have learned that this iconic Destiny character will press on with a new voice.

Bungie has recast Commander Zavala in Destiny 2 following the untimely death of actor Lance Reddick earlier this year. Keith David, known for his roles in films like The Thing, They Live, and Nope, will take over for Reddick as the English-language voice of Zavala.
