Hawkeye is Coming To Marvel’s Avengers Video Game Post Launch

The Marvel’s Avengers video game features the starting lineup of the MCU Avengers except one. Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow are all playable characters in the game, while Hawkeye was nowhere to be seen. But that changed today when Square Enix announced that Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye is heading to Marvel’s Avengers as a free character after it launches (via SuperHeroHype).

Within the accompanying teaser video, Hawkeye shows off his archery skills while Black Widow shares her astonishment. In the comics, Hawkeye was not one of the founding Avengers. But he was one of the first heroes to join the Avengers after the original lineup left the team.

Additionally, Square Enix noted that Hawkeye will be available in both co-op and the solo campaign. They also said that Hawkeye will have “unique” story missions as well. Square Enix indicated that this will only be the first expansion for the world of Marvel’s Avengers. Presumably, that means more characters will eventually be added to the game.

Marvel’s Avengers will hit PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC on September 4.

Russell Crowe-led Unhinged moves theatrical release

After initially being primed to be the first major theatrical release of the summer, the Russell Crowe-starring thriller Unhinged has pushed its release date back once again as the pandemic has seen another spike in the United States.

RELATED: Exclusive Unhinged Clip Starring Russell Crowe & Caren Pistorius

The film, which was originally slated to hit theaters in July, will now be hitting theaters on August 21, with the official statement confirming that though not all theaters will be open in time for the release, forecasts show that more will open up the film’s second weekend of release and that “80 percent” of moviegoers were surveyed and said they would “definitely attend” the film in theaters.

“On behalf of the U.S. exhibition community, I want to thank Solstice Studios for their commitment to bringing Unhinged to theaters and for doing their part to help reinvigorate the theatrical movie business,” John Fithian, President and CEO of the National Association of Theater Owners, said in a statement. “Movie theaters are able to safely reopen with thorough health and safety measure in many states across the country, but if studios wait until 100 percent of the theaters are open, it will be too late. We need supporters like Solstice Studios and Unhinged is the perfect film to kick off the opening of theaters to capture the last weeks of summer box office, followed by Tenet on Labor Day weekend and a strong fall schedule.”

Unhinged is a psychological thriller starring Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator) from Carl Ellsworth, the writer of Red Eye and Disturbia, and Lisa Ellzey, the producer of Warrior and Kingdom of Heaven. It takes an ordinary, everyday incident to its most terrifying conclusion in telling the story of a mother who leans on her horn at the wrong time, to the wrong guy. “Road rage” doesn’t begin to describe what he’s about to do to her and everyone she knows.

RELATED: Unhinged Trailer: Russell Crowe Thriller To Be First Film Back in Theaters This July

The film is directed by Derrick Borte (American Dreamer) and also stars Caren Pistorius (Mortal Engines), Gabriel Bateman (Lights Out, Child’s Play), Jimmi Simpson (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Westworld) and Austin P. McKenzie (When We Rise).

Unhinged is slated to be the first wide release back in theaters on August 21.

Cineworld CEO criticizes AMC-Universal Pictures deal

This morning marked a major day in Hollywood as after a heated battle between the two, AMC Theatres and Universal Pictures entered an exclusive exhibition agreement and in its wake, Cineworld’s CEO Mooky Greidinger has responded with criticism, saying they “do not see any business sense in this model” to Deadline.

RELATED: Universal & AMC Announce Agreement for Exhibition of Universal Films

While we don’t know the full details and we are always analyzing any move in the industry, we will analyze it,” Greidinger said. “People need to be aware that the first big movie from Universal is coming only in six months so there is no pressure here. But we clearly see this as a wrong move at the wrong time. Clearly we are not changing our policy with regards to showing only movies that are respecting the theatrical window.

When the beef between AMC and Universal first began earlier this year after the studio announced it would release Trolls World Tour and other major titles in theaters and on digital platforms simultaneously, due to the global pandemic, Greidinger expressed similar feelings, stating that the chain “will not be showing movies that fail to respect” the traditional release windows.

The United Kingdom-based company is the owner of both the Cineworld chain overseas and the Regal Cinemas chain here in the US, the second-largest in the country with 7,155 screens across 542 theaters and 42 states.

Sources report that the Universal-AMC deal is being considered a stateside experiment and that the details on whether this will extend to international distribution deals, as it is proving difficult for the studio. The studio currently has overseas distribution deals with MGM for No Time to Die in November and Candyman in October, as well as DreamWorks’ The Croods 2 in December and Tom Hanks-led News of the World the same month.
