Disney+ 'Marvel Zombies' Animated Series Release Date Moved Up
Disney announced some good news for its Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans, revealing that the release date of Disney+'s Marvel Zombies has been moved up an entire week from its original date of 3 October to 24 September. A zombiefied Tony Stark in What If… Zombies?! This now means that the upcoming zombie apocalypse series will premiere on Disney+ before the spooky season, with each of the four episodes of the What If…? spin-off being aired weekly, therefore wrapping up all the undead mayhem two weeks before Halloween itself. First announced in 2021, the animated miniseries will revisit the same post-apocalyptic world where the Earth's Mightiest Heroes have been turned into the undead that was originally seen in the episode ' What If… Zombies?! ' in What If…? Season 1. Inspired by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and artist Sean Phillips' original Marvel Zombies comic, the series will also introduce new survivors drawn from across the MCU. A zombiefied Thanos wielding a near-complete Infinity Gauntlet in What If… Zombies?! The What If…? episode ended on a grim cliffhanger: Thanos, now a zombie himself and wielding an almost complete Infinity Gauntlet, arrives in Wakanda, humanity's last refuge. Meanwhile, Spider-Man (Hudson Thames, Mad Men ), T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman, 21 Bridges ), and the disembodied head of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire ) were making their way there with the Mind Stone, hoping it could cure the infection. How their mission unfolds remains a mystery. Footage shown at D23 2024 teased intense undead battles, with Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh, Don't Worry Darling ) and Blade Knight, a hybrid of Moon Knight and Blade, fending off hordes, while an infected Okoye commands the zombie army. Shang-Chi (Simu Liu, Barbie ) will play a significant role alongside Katy (Awkwafina, Ocean's Eight ), Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung, The Grandmaster ), and the Ten Rings. Elizabeth Olsen ( Sorry for Your Loss ) also returns to voice the infected Wanda Maximoff, whose terrifying presence was a highlight of the original episode. A terrifying undead Scarlett Witch in What If… Zombies?! With a TV-MA rating, Marvel Zombies promises to push boundaries for the MCU, delivering plenty of gruesome gore and macabre mayhem for its audience. This will mark one of Marvel's most mature projects yet, and definitely one that is not intended for younger viewers. Brad Andrews, director of the original What If…? zombie episode, returns as showrunner and executive producer. The series was created by Emmy-winner and Deadpool & Wolverine co-writer Zeb Wells. The concept for expanding the zombie universe hailed from Marvel Studios leadership, after television chief Brad Winderbaum and president Kevin Feige saw the potential for more narratives stemming from the apocalyptic world following the popularity of What If… Zombies?! Peter Parker is one of the remaining survivors in What If… Zombies?! With just four episodes but the freedom of a mature rating, the creative team has set out to craft something impressive with a darker tone than audiences might expect from Marvel or Disney, and fans will simply have to wait in tantalising trepidation for the terrific terror that Marvel Zombies promises. Marvel Zombies premieres on 24 September on Disney+.

When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.

WiZ Smart Lighting Solutions Supercharge Home Gaming And Cinema With Immersive RGB
Just like how a horror movie or video game is best enjoyed when all the lights are off, atmosphere and lighting play a crucial role in enhancing the entertainment experience. While manually switching out plain white lights for coloured ones or installing separate units gets the job done, it can cost a fortune depending on each individual room layout. Smart lighting then serves as an affordable and flexible alternative, transforming an entertainment space into an immersive and dynamic experience without the need for complex rewiring, and that's where the WiZ Entertainment smart lighting range comes into play – a line-up of plug-and-play lighting solutions that sync up with your movies, games or music in real-time, turning a standard, boring living room into a fully fledged RGB cinematic or gaming cave. To adapt to setups of all shapes and sizes, WiZ Entertainment's lighting range comes in three types. The WiZ Gradient Floor Light and Light Bars, which work in tandem with the WiZ Sync Box with TV Backlight, which when connected to a TV, gaming console or media player, syncs its lighting effects to what's happening on screen with no delay. From the fiery red explosions in the latest first-person shooter, to the hue of Thor's blue electricity as he smashes down on his foes below, WiZ's RGB smart lights take cinematic immersion to a whole other level. The magic starts with the WiZ Sync Box, a control centre of sorts that connects directly to TVs, gaming consoles or streaming devices like Apple TV via HDMI, translating screen visuals into a matching RGB display on its included TV backlight strip, or other WiZ devices. Unlike other systems that rely on camera-based syncing, which can be inconvenient or even laggy, the WiZ Sync Box takes visual data directly from the HDMI source, ensuring maximum accuracy. The WiZ Sync Box with TV Backlight comes in two size variations for its 3-sided RGB light strips, one for small 55 to 65-inch TVs, and another for the larger 75 to 85-inch screens, with prices starting from S$219. To further enhance the atmosphere, the entire WiZ ecosystem, which includes the Gradient Light Bars and Floor Lamp, alongside bulbs, downlights and strips, presents a whole-home setup that can be connected to the Sync Box to harmonise an entire room's colour profile. The Gradient Floor Light can effectively extend a display's RGB lighting with colourful wall-washing light displays with an elegant, minimalistic design that fits into any corner, and is priced at S$169. The Gradient Light Bars present a versatile TV backlighting solution, being able to mount behind the TV or be placed standing or horizontally next to it, and retails at S$139. For maximum ease of use, the entire range is also controllable via the WiZ app, which is capable of smart home integration via Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri Shortcuts, or Matter, meaning users can automate scenes or even control lighting completely hands-free. The app also includes additional preset modes like Relax, Focus, or Movie Mode, music sync, or even Trackside Mode, a real-time racing feature for F1 fans that lights up the room with the energy of every lap, which makes sense considering WiZ is manufactured by Signify, the same company behind Philips Hue and Signify, is the official lighting partner of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team. Best of all? The entire WiZ system is built with the Singaporean space-conscious HDB home setup in mind, with all lights connected via Wi-Fi, and installation is as easy as plugging into a standard wall socket. There is no drilling, no need for electricians – just plug in and watch as an entire room springs to life in a sea of spectacular RGB. For those looking to witness first-hand how the full WiZ Entertainment setup can literally brighten up any home setup, the Light Lab at Toa Payoh provides a comprehensive in-person experience for those who wish to try before they buy. For those who prefer to shop online instead, the entire WiZ range, alongside online-exclusive sets and deals, is also available on WiZ's Lazada store. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. Advertorial RGB Singapore WiZ WiZ Entertainment

Antony Starr Will Miss Monstrous Homelander As 'The Boys' Wraps Final Season Production
Antony Starr has bid an emotional farewell to his The Boys character Homelander as production on the Amazon superhero satire's fifth and final season came to a close. The actor described his experience with the show as 'the highlight of my career.' In a heartfelt Instagram post accompanied by behind-the-scenes photos, Starr ( Outrageous Fortune ) explained that he had 'been waiting a little to let things settle and process the end of this show' before sharing his thoughts. Photo credits: Michael Kovac for Getty Images 'Difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It's truly been the highlight of my career,' he wrote. 'When we began, I had no idea what was coming. This juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too. But apart from those two times, it never stopped, boldly making its mark on the television landscape. There's nothing else like it. It lives in its own lane.' Starr also thanked showrunner Eric Kripke ( Supernatural ), referring to him as his 'co-parent with this twisted gem of a character.' He continued, 'We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. 'Til we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I'll miss it, brother.' The actor reserved special praise for fans, writing: 'Massive thank you to the fans. You are the lifeblood. Without you, we don't get to do this. And our fans are second to none. Mad love to you….and deepest respect for your taste.' Antony Starr as Homelander in The Boys He concluded his post with a sign-off in Homelander's voice: 'Okidoke people. We cooked for the last time. Can't wait to show you what we made. TIL that day, Homelander, signing off.' The Boys first premiered in 2019, earning both commercial success and critical acclaim. The series has racked up eight Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series. While the show's final season is not expected to air until next year, fans don't have to wait long for more content from the universe — spinoff Gen V , which follows college-aged supes, is set to premiere its second season on 17 September, while Vought Rising , a prequel series led by Jensen Ackles' ( Supernatural ) Soldier Boy and Aya Cash's ( You're the Worst ) Stormfront, is also in development.
