‘Game of Thrones’ to come back for its final season on April 14th

The beginning of the end is here… at least three months from now. Game of Thrones final season will be coming on April 14, 2019. It’s going to be a six-episode season that HBO chief Richard Plepler has previous described as “six movies.” Rumour has it that each episode is 90 minutes long, which is the length of some feature films. This might be the end for Game of Thrones but we’ll still be hearing more tales from George R.R. Martin’s massive world. HBO has several spinoffs in the works. The Long Night, a prequel series set “thousands of years” before the current show, has already been ordered to shoot a pilot.

Leak shares possible screen sizes of the upcoming Huawei P30 series

We already know Huawei is set to release its P30 series soon. While we don’t have an exact date yet, we know what the phones’ screens might look like. Slash Leaks obtained a photo of the supposed screen protectors for the P30, P30 Pro, and P30 Lite. The P30 Pro will reportedly have a 6.4-inch QHD+ display and have an in-display fingerprint reader. Meanwhile, the P30 and P30 Lite both get 6-inch FHD+ displays. But the P30 also gets an in-display fingerprint reader, while the P30 Lite has a rear fingerprint scanner. All three will reportedly get the waterdrop notch display. We don’t know if this means 3D face scanning will be less sophisticated this time around than the one introduced in the Mate 20 Pro. For now, these are still rumours and we’d only find out which ones are real when Huawei officially launches the phone.

Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ gets final trailer ahead of release

We’re just a few days shy from the release of the second season of The Punisher. And it looks just as bloody as ever. We hear more from friend-turned-foe Jigsaw (Ben Barnes) in this season as he seeks revenge against Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher (Jon Bernthal). He wants The Punisher “to feel what I felt.” Whether he makes good on that promise, we’ll probably find out in this season. What we still don’t know at this point is whether this show will come back for another season. Only time will tell. Marvel’s The Punisher will start streaming on January 18th.

Is Marvel ready to make an R-rated ‘Black Widow’ film?

While Captain Marvel marks the first female-led movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, another longstanding member of the MCU might be making waves in her own way. Writer Charles Murphy from the comedy and music podcast The Hashtag Show tweeted that he once heard Marvel Studios thinking about making the Black Widow movie an R-rated film. But this could also stand for other Marvel films, too. He adds “I’m not saying it will be for sure (no way to know what they will settle on at this point), but they have recently said that R-rated MCU films ARE a possibility, so it is a possibility.”

The buzz around possibly having R-rated MCU films came when Disney announced its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, and with the latter having already made more mature films for Marvel characters like Deadpool and Logan, it seems like something that could happen. We don’t know much about the Black Widow movie but it does currently have a female director in Cate Shortland, Scarlett Johansson will be reprising her role, and filming is expected to start this coming March. Release date is said to be 2020. It’s being rumoured that the film will be a prequel and will follow Natasha Romanoff (or Natalia Romanova) as she works as a spy for the KGB.
