As one of the first films to arrive post Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War was always going to garner a lot of excitement from Marvel fans, though this early buzz was compounded when the studio confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. would play an integral role in the upcoming threequel, teeing up a decisive war of ethics that would have serious ramifications for the MCU as a whole.
Principal shooting has already begun on Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs movie, with production setting up shop in San Francisco earlier this month, and today, Universal confirmed the full list of casting choices set to portray the film's leading roles.
A Ubisoft image has hinted that Assassin's Creed 2016 may take the action to The Land of the Rising Sun, while 2015's iteration looks to be set in London.
With little under a fortnight until its eventual release, there is a tangible feeling of excitement in the air for Turtle Rock Studio's asymmetric shooter Evolve, and though the developer attracted controversy after announcing the game's extensive, tiered DLC, one facet that the company doesn't want to kick the hornet's nest over is graphical discrepancies between platforms.

Few filmmakers have the keen eye for visual effects and as Lana and Andy Wachowski.
