Neil Patrick Harris voices Deadpool in VR game launching 2025 exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S
A new virtual reality title, Marvel's Deadpool VR, is set to launch exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S in late 2025, according to a report from ScreenRant by Brandon Key. The game was revealed during the Summer Game Fest, with Neil Patrick Harris announced as the voice of Deadpool in this immersive first-person action experience. Developed by Twisted Pixel Games and Oculus Studios in collaboration with Marvel Games, the game introduces an original storyline not based on existing Marvel material. Deadpool finds himself pulled through a portal to Mojoworld, where he signs a shady contract and begins a chaotic quest for riches across the Marvel universe. The trailer highlights Deadpool's signature humor, fourth-wall breaking, and self-awareness, with the character openly acknowledging his existence inside a VR game. Players will take on the role of Deadpool, using dual pistols, katanas, kunai, and parkour-style movement to navigate the game's action-packed environments. Drawing on its previous VR work with Path of the Warrior, developer Twisted Pixel Games promises a unique and exaggerated combat system tailored for the VR format. Combat scenarios include over-the-top actions like using severed limbs as weapons, tossing grenades back at enemies, and shoving heads into propellers—true to Deadpool's irreverent style. This marks the character's first major game appearance since the 2013 cult-classic Deadpool by Activision. With Harris bringing a fresh take to the Merc with a Mouth and gameplay designed to reflect the character's chaotic personality, Marvel's Deadpool VR could mark a bold new direction for Marvel's future in VR gaming.

Ryan Reynolds' rumoured 'X-Force' film to feature Wolverine, Cable and Storm in ensemble cast
Ryan Reynolds is reportedly developing an X-Force-inspired project following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. Sources suggest the film, which has not yet been officially greenlit by Marvel Studios, will be separate from the X-Men reboot currently being written by Michael Lesslie. Reynolds is said to be working independently on the script, positioning Wade Wilson as part of a new team rather than leading another solo film. The project will reportedly include 'three or four' X-Men characters. Notably, Josh Brolin's Cable and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine are rumoured to return, alongside the unexpected inclusion of the MCU's Storm. The actor's past statements reinforce his desire to move Deadpool into more ensemble-driven stories. 'I have some pitches and ideas, but none of them centre on Deadpool,' he said. 'He is a great supporting or ensemble player. And I would always want Deadpool and Wolverine to be paired in some way.' Reynolds previously campaigned for an X-Force film during the 20th Century Fox era, which was shelved following the Disney acquisition. The original comic book X-Force team featured Deadpool, Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, and Fantomex under Rick Remender's run. Reynolds has dismissed further solo ventures, reaffirming that Deadpool should remain 'an outsider' to groups like the Avengers or X-Men.

Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackson: Relationship leaves ex Deborra-Lee Furness 'devastated,' who files for divorce
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are reportedly living together in New York City, according to multiple sources, marking a major development in their relationship and leaving his estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, 'shattered.' The Australian actors, who starred opposite each other in Broadway's The Music Man, are said to have taken their relationship to the next level following Jackman's split from Furness. A source told Australian publication New Idea that Foster has begun moving her belongings into Jackman's penthouse apartment. 'They're inseparable,' the source said. '[Sutton is] slowly migrating her things over to Hugh's place.' According to the report, Furness, 69, is deeply affected by the development. 'Deb is shattered knowing Sutton is making the penthouse her own — the place she poured her soul into,' a source said, adding that she is also concerned about the pace of Jackman's new relationship. 'She wants him to be happy — he deserves it and so do the kids — but Hugh's completely green when it comes to dating. She's concerned he's leaping into living with someone else way too soon,' the source added. Another friend reportedly told the outlet, 'It's almost unreal [for Deborra] seeing Sutton reap the rewards of all those years of her supporting Hugh.' Representatives for Jackman, Foster and Furness did not respond to requests for comment. Furness filed for divorce from the Deadpool & Wolverine star last week, after an agreement was reportedly reached privately. Their divorce has since been confirmed. According to Daily Mail, the pair worked out terms related to settlement, alimony, and future expenses for their two adopted children: Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19. 'They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out,' a source told the Daily Mail. 'Both are coming out of this financially secure.' Furness later spoke publicly about the emotional impact of the divorce, referencing betrayal and spiritual resilience in a statement: 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal… I believe in a higher power… always working FOR us.' Jackman, 56, and Furness announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. Rumours of an affair between Jackman and Foster surfaced shortly afterwards, fuelled by their growing closeness during their Broadway run. Foster, who filed for divorce from her second husband Ted Griffin in October 2024, has been spotted holding hands with Jackman and sharing public displays of affection in recent months. One source revealed, 'They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.'
