It seems like a dig at 20th Century Fox for not being able to successfully bring the Fantastic Four to the big screen. But Marvel Studios' head Kevin Feige also seems like he's making a promise to fans who have been clamoring for the longest time to see these heroes get an MCU treatment. While speaking to Variety at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Feige answered when asked about their plans for the characters, "All of that is spoilers, but I'm extremely excited about those characters, and about bringing Marvel's first family up to the sort of platform and level they deserve." Feige didn't specifically say when we can expect a Fantastic Four film (or maybe even series), but just acknowledging it now makes us excited.

New Google Pixel 4 leak fuels hand gesture control rumours

With the number of sensors adorning the front of the Google Pixel 4, it comes as no surprise why the notched display might be disappearing for this version of the Pixel. The newest leaked photos obtained by Ice Universe show the detached bezels of both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. Both feature a large ovoid hole on the right side of the phone that hasn’t been accounted for in the past. This makes us believe that the said space is for the Project Soli radar, which would allow gesture control for this phone. The other holes are said to be for things like dual selfie cameras, central speaker, and face recognition or depth sensor. For now, as with any other leak, we still have to take this information with a grain of salt.

Iconic character makes a comeback in the trailer for ‘Star Trek: Picard’

It looks like we’re seeing Sir Patrick Stewart playing one of his most memorable roles soon. CBS just showed the full trailer for its upcoming series, Star Trek: Pickard. Stewart will be returning as Jean-Luc Pickard, who somehow finds himself drawn out of retirement when he’s approached by a young woman who needs his help. It will take place more than 20 years after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which aired between 1987 and 1994, as well as after its film sequels Generations (1994), First Contact (1996), Insurrection (1998), and Nemesis (2002).

You will see some familiar faces reprising their roles. These include Commander William Riker, played by Jonathan Frakes; Deanna Troi, played by Marina Sirtis; Data, played by Brent Spiner; a former Borg drone named Hugh, played by Jonathan Del Arco; and Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager, played by Jeri Ryan. The series will also feature Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, and Michelle Hurd. Star Trek: Picard is set to debut early 2020 on CBS All Access in the US. But here it will stream on Bell Media’s Space and OTT service Crave.

HBO teases its upcoming ‘Watchmen’ series

Don’t expect it to be a direct adaptation of Alan Moore’s classic 1986 graphic novel or even Zack Synder’s 2009 film version. Damon Lindelof’s version of Watchmen will take place in the same world. It won’t be a sequel though. He likens it to being the New Testament to the original twelve issues being the Old Testament. But from the trailer that was shown at San Diego Comic-Con, it looks like we’ll see some familiar faces. Rorschach appears alongside new costumed heroes. There will be references to previous vigilante fighters that longtime fans of the series will recognize. Watchmen will be premiering in October, and it is setting itself up to be the next big thing from HBO.
