The response to the recently released Mortal Kombat trailer has been monumental, with the footage even surpassing the likes of Logan and Deadpool to become the most watched red band trailer of all time. The tone and brutal violence looks to be adapting the games very well, but producer Todd Garner has now arrived to put a slight dampener on things, warning fans not to get their hopes up too high when it comes to a beloved Mortal Kombat staple: Fatalities. According to Garner, the problem with Fatalities and translating them from the video game series to the big screen, is simply that the Motion Picture Association of America is not going to let them get away with some of the more ridiculously graphic violence.

Fox's X-Men movies were the MCU before the actual MCU became a thing. Back then, Fox had some ambitious plans for their own X-Men cinematic universe, with spinoff movies for individual X-Men characters. For the longest time, Channing Tatum was attached to play the lead in a standalone movie as Remy Etienne LeBeau aka Gambit, a mutant with the ability to manipulate kinetic energy to make objects explode. Gambit was initially offered to filmmaker Rupert Wyatt. When talks with Wyatt fell through, Gore Verbinski, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame came on board the project, before he also walked away from the film.

Surprise! We're getting a brand new Alien video game this summer. Cold Iron Studios and 20th Century Games have revealed the first trailer for Aliens: Fireteam . The game will put players in the shoes of a Colonial Marine as they take on Xenomorphs and other extraterrestrial threats with a team of soldiers. The video game trailer is action-packed.
