Sorry Marvel Fans, Black Panther Game Cancelled
According to IGN, a recent round of layoffs at EA has led to the cancellation of the Black Panther game, and the closing down of the studio that was working on it, Cliffhanger Games. Not much has been known about the game, but it does come from developers who had worked at Monolith Games while they were making the also-cancelled Wonder Woman game. I even speculated that they were retooling their WW title for BP , but it looks like both projects went down the drain.
As far as we know, Black Panther was supposed to be a single-player, open-world, action game. Though this Panther may not be able to get his title, the character is playable in Marvel Rivals as well as the upcoming game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra which is expected to come out sometime next year.
Despite the closing of Cliffhanger, EA is still adamant that its partnership with Marvel will continue. Panther was one of a three-game deal which also includes Iron Man as well as another unannounced title. As far as their deal with Marvel goes, the e-mail from EA Entertainment president Laura Miele read, 'Our partnership with Marvel remains strong and our multi-title, long-term collaboration continues.'
No specific release date has been announced for Rise of Hydra , but fans can expect it to come out sometime next year. Marvel Rivals is now playable for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5.

Marvel Rivals Reveals The Next Two Heroes for Third Season: The Abyss Awakens
Season 3 is officially coming to Marvel Rivals , and with that comes the reveal of two new incoming heroes for what is dubbed The Abyss Awakens . Just in, we have a new preview, and it reveals the long-awaited Blade as well as X-Man Jean Grey a.k.a. Phoenix. Check this out: Here's the official description: In the wake of the Timestream Entanglement, Knull stirs deep within Klyntar's core, stretching his shadowed hands across the cosmos. Power promised by the dark symbiote god beckons the awakening of a new queen. The Phoenix arrives from across the stars to erase Klyntar before the darkness can rise again! However, she'll require unlikely aid from a warrior of two worlds who lives to fight against the tide of night. As the god of the symbiotes and the Phoenix Force collide, will you burn with the light of creation or embrace the darkness? Blade has been seen resting in Wakanda for a while, so a lot of people are pretty happy to see him actually be up and about. As for Jean, she wasn't the first hero I would guess would be coming next, but she does tease the arrival of other X-Men soon. Looking at the main villain of the season though, Knull is one of the newer comic creations, but his status as the Father of Symbiotes is essentially the reason why several heroes like Captain America, Squirrel Girl, Rocket, and Jeff are getting Venom-themed skins. We don't know if everyone in the roster is getting one, but it definitely fits the stage of Klyntar, the planet of the symbiotes and Knull's homeworld (or more accurately prison). Season 3 of Marvel Rivals launches for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on July 11.

Gunn On Why He's Following Wonder Woman Fancast Adrian Arjona
With James Gunn rebooting the DCU with Superman , a lot of fans have been pitching online who they want to play the new heroes alongside David Corenswet; and one name that keeps popping up is Adrian Arjona for Wonder Woman . Fans have noticed that Gunn actually followed Arjona on social media which then lead them to believe that she was going to be in the DCU soon, but Gunn has revealed that he's actually followed her from way back and not just because she's coming over to DC. In an interview with Extra (via @DaveTheAnodite), Gunn says: ' I follow Adria on Instagram but everybody came out [and said], 'He just followed her, that means she's Wonder Woman,'… She was in a movie that I made seven years ago. We've been friends and have known each other since that time. I followed her then, I didn't just follow her.' JAMES GUNN on recent reports that he'd followed ADRIA ARJONA on instagram: "She was in a movie that I made seven years ago, we've been friends and have known each other since that time, I followed her then, I didn't just follow her" — D🅰️ve (@DaveTheAnodite) June 30, 2025 For context, the movie that Gunn and Arjona worked on was The Belko Experiment. Gunn didn't direct that film, but he did provide the script; and like other Gunn films, his brother Sean was also in the movie. Going back to the idea of Arjona as Diana of Themyscira, though this wasn't confirmation that Arjona was going to be the next WW, Gunn did say, ' She'd be a great Wonder Woman, by the way.' For now, it's unclear where Gunn and his co-head Peter Safran want to go with the DCU. We know that 'Elseworlds' are going to exist thanks to The Batman Part II ; but as for the main timeline, we only see as far as Supergirl . Hopefully the release of Superman will give us a clearer picture as fans. Watch out for the movie when it comes to cinemas on July 11.
