It also ignited a passion — or perhaps an obligation — for fans to follow every Marvel storyline in the films, even for characters who might not have been able to carry a solo movie in a pre-Avengers world. (Looking at you, Ant-Man.)
The first trailer for Netflix's upcoming movie Apex arrived Wednesday, and it looks intense — a riff on the endlessly adapted short storyThe Most Dangerous Game, where a predatory, amoral person hunts human prey through the wilds for sport. Charlize Theron is the prey here, a thrill-seeker named Sasha who's heading for a challenging whitewater rafting site when a stranger (Taron Egerton, from the Kingsman movies) steals her gear, offers her a head start, and starts hunting her down.

Sometimes I sit staring at my game library and wish for Titanfall 3, and I know I'm not alone. There's been nothing in the years since Titanfall 2 that quite captures the magic of Respawn's sublime FPS games, and even Apex Legends puts safety rails on the movement tech that made it so special. Splitgate developer 1047 Games is ready to take up the mantle, however, confirming that it's currently developing a game inspired by both the Respawn classics and fellow wall-running multiplayer games like Call of Duty Black Ops 3.
