Dune: Part Two Cast On How Practical Effects Make This Universe More Real Than Ever Before

Dune: Part Two’s focus on practical effects have made its universe more real than ever before and Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, and Dave Bautista shared with us what that meant for each of them.

“Everything you use, everything you see, and your immediate surroundings with this film, is practical,” Dave Bautista, who plays Rabban of House Harkonnen, said. “It allows you to just be completely immersed and you don’t have to depend on your imagination because everything is just there for you. It just allows you to actually be in that moment and get lost in those scenes.”

We also got the chance to talk to them about how the war of generations is shaping that same universe, how Dune: Part two validates Dave Bautista as an actor, and what it was like to actually ride a sandworm.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Director Addresses the Pink Godzilla

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard stopped by IGN Fan Fest to share some new details on the upcoming film, including why Godzilla is partially pink now.

“I wanted it to be part of the major drive of the story, why Godzilla was getting this new look,” Wingard said. “And the pink colour itself, it’s not random. Within the movie there’s actually reasoning behind why he actually turns pink. It’s not just like, he evolves and for some reason the blue turns to pink.

“With that said, pink is my favourite colour,” he laughed. “Our editorial that we edit the movie in, it was covered with pink lights, and generally I usually have pink fairy lights in any room that I’m in.”

Co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the co-writer of TMNT: The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution gave IGN Fan Fest a new look at the new comic that is set to be released on March 6, 2024.

“[The Last Ronin II] was something that we really questioned and really hadn’t planned when we started doing Last Ronin, so we found a place that we wanted to stay and tell stories for as long as we could. What you’re seeing here specifically takes place 16 years after Last Ronin I ended,” Eastman said. “Casey Marie Jones is the woman in the purple you see there with the half of a Casey mask on, and she’s trained to become the sensei and general parent of the new turtles. They’re going out on one of their first missions.”

He also shared how the team wanted to make the four new turtles – Yi, Odyn, Moja, and Uno – distinct, adapting The Last Ronin to a video game, and more.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Showrunner Shares His Hopes for the Ending

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live has many fans questioning how Rick and Michonne’s story will end. While executive producer, co-creator, and showrunner Scott Gimbal wasn’t willing to reveal any secrets, he did give his hopes for the conclusion.

“Well, I mean more possibilities, more questions. I think it’s a very satisfying completion of a story,” Gimbal explained. “But I think, you know, when shows end, I do hope that audiences’ imaginations are always sort of engaged and like, ‘Okay, well, what could happen next?’ And, sure, you can do that with this show, but I think there’s also an incredibly satisfying ending to a very long story.”

Star Trek: Discovery’s Final Season Will Focus on More of an ‘Adventure Vibe’

Capcom on Street Fighter 6 DLC Character Ed — and a Little Akuma Tease

Street Fighter 6 director Takayuki Nakayama and producer Shuhei Matsumoto talked with IGN about the upcoming DLC character Ed and gave a little Akuma tease.

“It was an experiment for the developers when they were working on Street Fighter 5 to make Ed the prototype of the modern controls we see in Street Fighter 6,” Nakayama said. “However, his move roster has been updated from the past title. It’s not a complete replica of what you get to experience in Street Fighter 5. We’ve made some tweaks and updates so his Modern controls in Street Fighter 6 are also fun and compelling.

“Ed is strong in close range combat with his boxing fighting style. He has a lot of target combos. Unlike his moveset in Street Fighter 5 he no longer has kick moves. They’re all punches. His kick moves are designated to these flicker jabs that have pretty good reach. So not only is he strong in close quarters but also talented in terms of mid-range attacks as well.

“However, he shines brightest when he is up in the face of the opposing character, and has a lot of unique combos only capable through Ed. We recommend you get aggressive. Get in there and show what you’ve got.”

As for Akuma, Matsumoto wasn’t willing to give us to much about the hotly anticipated arrival of the DLC character in Spring, but he did say, “He’s awesome looking with lots of great effects. We’re going to be carefully planning out how we present this character to you guys. So we can’t wait to show you this new character.”

Invincible Creator Robert Kirkman Casts Doubt on Prime Video Spider-Man Crossover

Invincible co-creator was part of IGN Fan Fest 2024 and shared that, despite fan-deman for Spider-Man to appear in the series, it’s unlikely to happen.

“Would that we could pull the powers of Amazon and Disney and Marvel and everybody together!” Kirkman said. “Wouldn’t that be an amazing thing? But I wouldn’t count on it. And that’s not a tease.”

He also talked about the villainous Omni-Man and that he still believes he isn’t an evil character even though he’s done a ton of horrible things.

“There’s a big arc that he’s gonna be going through,” Kirkman said. “There’s a lot of talk of Amazon and their evil Supermen with Homelander and Omni-Man. There’s a big difference in what we’re trying to do with Omni-Man, and who he is as a character. It’s reductive to just refer to him as an evil Superman. He is not an evil character.”

Invincible Season 2 Part 2 will be released on Prime Video on March 14, 2024.
