A Doctor makes his way to ‘Star Wars’

Santiago Felipe/Getty ImagesAnd by Doctor, we mean a former Time Lord from Doctor Who. Rumour has it (or at least several outlets have confirmed) that Matt Smith will be joining the cast of Star Wars: Episode IX. At the moment, we don’t know what role he’ll be playing but as Wired points out, he seems fit to be a First Order officer. And we can’t say we disagree. Smith will be joining other franchise newcomers like Dominic Monaghan, Keri Russell, and Richard E. Grant. And of course, we’ll get to see him with returning stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, and Oscar Isaac. Episode IX is currently in production and will be coming out in December 2019.

‘Daredevil’ comes back in new Season 3 teaser trailer

Daredevil is making a comeback and it looks like he wants nothing to do with Matt Murdock. The third season of the Marvel TV show just released its first trailer for Netflix and it looks like Charlie Cox’s Daredevil is embracing the dark side. The show’s third season picks up after the crossover mini-series The Defenders, where we have the blind crimefighter team up with Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist (Finn Jones). At the end of the mini-series, it was presumed that Daredevil and former lover Elektra (Elodie Yung) died in a cave-in of Midland Circle. But, as the teaser shows, that isn’t quite the case. But we do see a bloodied Daredevil in a shadowy confessional booth, possibly in the nunnery where his mother Margaret Murdock or Maggie (Joanne Whalley) is.

Cox and Whalley will be joined by returning stars Deborah Ann-Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Murdock’s law partner Foggy Nelson, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk a.k.a. Kingpin. Wilson Bethel will be joining the cast and is said to be playing Daredevil’s archfoe Bullseye. This new season is said to be drawing inspiration from Daredevil’s “Born Again” storyline, where Kingpin discovers Daredevil’s secret identity and is systematically trying to destroy Matt Murdock’s life. Daredevil Season 3 is set to come out this year but there is no exact release date just yet.

Razer slashes US$300 off the Razer Phone

Looks like we might be getting the second iteration of the Razer Phone sooner instead of later. Razer is offering the first Razer Phone in the US at a sizeable discount. The original Black version of the smartphone is getting a US$300 discount. If you’re in the States or have someone there who can get the device for you. Head to the Razer Store, add the device to your cart, and then find the “PROMO CODE” section. Type in the word “WOOHOO” to see if the discount still stands. This cuts almost 43% from the original US$700 SRP of the Razer Phone when it first came out. Discounting a device by this much could only mean that Razer is making room for its new phone.

Twitter tests out new web interface

Twitter desktop in night mode, what do you think?

Twitter looks to be trying something out on its web interface and bringing some previously mobile exclusive experiences into the space. The social network just shared a photo of the new look on Twitter and shows the Explore and Bookmarks tabs coming to the web—both were previously available just on mobile. And if you look closely, the night mode and data saver mode are also coming. Although, it might be weird to see data saver mode on the desktop, since this doesn’t seem to be much of a need for desktop users. But then again, Twitter is just testing out features for now and it’s available to a limited number of users. You can also see that the Trends and Who to follow section have been moved to the right. Business Insider reports that the test users need to opt-in to see this new look.
