Amy Hennig's 'Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra' is delayed to 2026
What's the reason for the delay? The publisher says it's to "add more polish," which is never a bad thing. I'd rather a fully-finished game upon release than a buggy mess. The company does say it'll be available in the early part of 2026, so that isn't too long to wait. Still, it's disappointing news for eager Marvel fans.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is a narrative-driven adventure game with four playable characters, including long-time icons like Black Panther and Captain America. As the name suggests, it's set during World War II in occupied Paris.
It's being developed by Amy Hennig and her new studio, which is a subsidiary of Skydance. If her name sounds familiar, that's because she's best known for being a creative director and writer at Naughty Dog. Hennig was the lead writer on all three Uncharted games and was creative director for the Legacy of Kain franchise. She's got a fantastic pedigree, so this new Marvel game could be a heavy hitter.

Tramell Tillman Cast in Spider-Man 4: Who Is He Playing?
Curious about Tramell Tillman's mystery role in Spider-Man 4: Brand New Day? His casting has sparked wide speculation, with fans debating whether he could appear as an ally, a mentor, or even a new villain. Here's a look at the biggest theories and what his role might mean for Spider-Man's future. List of characters who Tramell Tillman could be playing in Spider-Man 4 Earth-616's Norman Osborn According to Variety, Tramell Tillman has officially joined the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in an undisclosed role. His casting has sparked speculation about who he might play. One theory points to Norman Osborn, a character recently introduced in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, voiced by Colman Domingo. In that animated series, Osborn acts as a mentor to Peter Parker instead of a traditional villain. This creates a distinct take from Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin in No Way Home. The animated Osborn provides guidance and support, offering a new angle on Spider-Man's relationship with him. Although the show exists in a separate continuity, the MCU could use a similar approach in live action. Osborn may first appear as a guiding figure before evolving into a larger antagonist. If Marvel chooses this path, Tramell Tillman could embody Earth-616's Osborn and create a bridge between Marvel's animated projects and live-action films. Miles Morales' father, Jefferson Davis Tillman's casting secrecy has also fueled theories that he could be playing Jefferson Davis, the father of Miles Morales. While Kevin Feige previously stated that Miles is unlikely to appear until after Sony concludes its Spider-Verse films, Marvel could introduce Davis as groundwork. The animation depicts Davis as a New York police officer and supportive family figure. Deadline separately announced the addition of The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas to the cast, which increased speculation that she could portray Rio Morales, Miles' mother, and strengthened the possibility of the Morales family entering the MCU. Alistair Smythe, aka Spider-Slayer Another widely discussed possibility is Alistair Smythe, who in the comics engineers the Spider-Slayers—robotic hunters designed to capture Spider-Man. Reports of leaked concept art and set designs resembling Spider-Slayer armor have fueled this theory. With Michael Mando confirmed to return as Scorpion, Smythe could logically tie into his storyline, as the character is known for enhancing villains through technology. Tillman's casting in such a secretive role aligns with the potential introduction of Smythe as a central antagonist in Brand New Day. Another teacher of Peter Parker Given Spider-Man's return to a grounded, street-level story post-No Way Home, Tillman could also appear in a smaller role. He might play one of Peter Parker's new college professors. This would echo J.B. Smoove's casting in Far From Home, where fans speculated about J. Jonah Jameson, or a new villain, but he ultimately portrayed a teacher. As Peter builds a new life without MJ and Ned remembering him, a character in his academic environment, possibly even Dr. Curt Connors, the Lizard, could provide fresh dynamics. Kang the Conqueror Tillman's name has surfaced in MCU rumors as a possible recast for Kang the Conqueror after Jonathan Majors' 2023 conviction and removal from the role. Insider Jeff Sneider reported on The Hot Mic that Marvel 'has a plan to say goodbye to Kang' in Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026), with speculation that Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom could kill the character. Sneider mentioned Tramell Tillman, best known for Severance, as the actor Marvel might cast for Kang's final arc, though Variety's Spider-Man: Brand New Day exclusive did not link him to the role. Marvel will release Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31, 2026. Solve the daily Crossword

Review: Spy thriller ‘World Pacific' turns wartime intrigue into farce, folly and adventure
No one is to be trusted in the fantastic, fanciful and often extremely funny novel, 'World Pacific,' from San Francisco writer Peter Mann. Much like Mann's debut novel, 'The Torqued Man,' this second, equally farcical novel, revolves around real-world events that touch, at least tangentially, on World War II. But this time, the setting, to which the novel's title 'World Pacific' refers, leads several dubious and unreliable characters toward the 1940 World's Fair on Treasure Island. One of these characters, and perhaps the most dubious of them all, is Richard 'Dicky' Halifax, a self-proclaimed author-adventurer, very much in the spirit of the real-life Richard Halliburton, who disappeared in 1939 in the same manner as Dicky does in the first few pages of this novel, while on an ill-prepared sailing journey from Hong Kong to San Francisco on a Chinese junk. The excursion is, in part, funded by a subscription service for young readers. In Dicky's case this subscription service would be 'The Dicky Halifax Junior Adventurers Club,' a series of letters that not only weaves in many an inappropriate reference to Dicky's crotch, but also operates as Dicky's central voice within the novel. Written in a folksy devil-may-care style, these letters, presented as chapters within 'World Pacific,' highlight Dicky's escape from many a tight spot. Or as Dicky writes in an early chapter, leading to his current predicament of being lost at sea: 'Dear boys, This is where the story starts to get hairy. Of all the close scrapes I've had, all the times I've blundered into a hornets' nest or was caught taking pictures of military installations on Gibraltar or got dragged to a pretty lady's bed only to find I was flaccid as a gym sock, this one took the cake.' The writing, particularly in the Junior Adventurers Club chapters, feels wonderfully inventive, often playing with clichés of the period and then elevating them through Dicky's individual voice and upbeat, foolish optimism. But Dicky is certainly not alone in this novel. While the connection to a talented émigré painter of Jewish descent, Hildegard 'Hilde' Rauch, feels at first tenuous, it soon becomes clear from a letter addressed to Hilde from her comatose brother that the now-lost-at-sea and presumed dead Dicky, might just be the key to understanding his current state. Or, as the suicide note from her brother so eloquently puts it, 'I just can't bear to live in a world without Dick.' Besides what becomes a sizable number of euphemisms and allusions (one, by sheer absurdity, that kept me laughing for a good five minutes), there is a plot to this novel, and a very twisty one at that. For, even as Hilde searches for answers and Dicky stumbles from one madcap adventure to the next, another character — Simon Faulk, a British intelligence officer on the hunt for Nazi spies and who also harbors a serious grudge against author-adventurer Dicky Halifax — takes the stage. All of which confirms that, along with being a quixotic tale of adventure complete with truth-telling sidekicks and wild goose chases, 'World Pacific' is, like Mann's first novel, a spy thriller of ingenious quality.
