Between the Avatar sequels, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek, Zoe Saldaña doesn’t have a shortage of movie franchises. Saldaña still has three more Avatar movies to go, and plans for Star Trek 4 with the cast of the 2009 reboot films were recently revitalized when Paramount signed Andor’s Toby Haynes to direct the next sequel. However, Saldaña has repeatedly stated that she’s done playing Gamora after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. But she still wants to see more adventures with Gamora and the Guardians in the MCU. Via Variety, Saldaña appeared in an upcoming episode of The Playlist’s Discourse podcast where she addressed her hopes for Gamora’s future.
“I mean, so far, I think that she is [gone for good] for me, but I don’t think Gamora has gone for good,” said Saldaña. “I would think it would be a huge loss for Marvel if they didn’t find a way to bring back the Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s just such a fan-favorite group of misfits, you know? And then at the helm, they had a voice like James Gunn’s writing–which is just so marvelous for and very specific for this genre. And it’s so great for this genre as well. So, I would be the first one in the first row to sort of celebrate when the Guardians of the Galaxy come back.”
Saldaña hasn’t appeared as Nyota Uhura since Star Trek Beyond in 2016. The initial plans for Star Trek 4 would have brought back Chris Hemsworth’s George Kirk opposite Chris Pine’s Captain James T. Kirk for a father-and-son time travel adventure before that film fell apart long before cameras started rolling. Haynes’ upcoming sequel is based on a different script by Seth Grahame-Smith and it’s described as the final chapter for Saldaña and the rest of the reboot cast. Regardless, the actress remains remains enthusiastic about her potential return to the Star Trek universe.
“I still have hope,” said Saldaña. “I had a wonderful experience through and through and through the three times that I was a part of that team. I know that they’re always trying to sort of aim to wrangle everybody together, but I also know that Paramount is working on a new sort of fresh take on Star Trek, which I think is such a wonderful franchise that should live for a very long time, whether or not us as the original remake cast can come back. I don’t know, but I certainly hope so.”
Star Trek 4 doesn’t currently have a release date. Meanwhile, we don’t know the status of another potential Guardians of the Galaxy adventure now that James Gunn is co-head of DC Studios. However, the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 did tease that Star Lord (Chris Pratt) would eventually return.
It’s a tale as old as time: The maniacs have blown it all up, and the few unlucky survivors are forced to pick up the pieces and begin civilization anew. Double Fine’s Rad, however, takes it one step further. A second apocalypse has happened, and according to the omnipresent narrator, the survivors’ one-word reaction is actually the correct and logical one: “Seriously?”
From the second pile of ashes, however, a new hero arises. You, the Remade, a blunt weapon-wielding child of the endtimes who has been tasked by the Menders–the new architects of the age–with going forth into the treacherous radioactive hellscape armed with nothing more than a baseball bat and a host of ungodly but powerful bodily mutations to find a new source of power for humankind.
On paper, that sounds dreadfully serious. In practice, however, it’s Double Fine, a developer that seems physically incapable of making a game that’s a downer. The Menders give the Remade their powe…
Video games don’t usually flex their ability to make you feel unsettled or unwelcome. Sure, games can craft a pretty convincing zombie-infested mansion, and they’ve got monsters in closets for days, but they rarely aspire to the sort of disorientation found in, say, the pages of Alice in Wonderland. Even the most frightening horror games tend to be marked by the allowances they provide for you. Think Dead Space’s handy route finder, or the accommodating logic of puzzle elements in Resident Evil. Scary, yes, but the games are also ergonomic: their spaces feel constructed specifically to be occupied by you.
NaissanceE is not a horror game. Yet the hairs on the back of my neck were at attention for most of the 10 hours I spent in its world. The first-person exploration game by Limasse Five begins with a narrow escape from an implied threat, and though the bulk of the remaining experience involves light platforming and a touch of puzzle-solving, the specter of that early en…
CES 2024 has been all about AI, from the companies introducing new implementations of the technology to other less favorable headlines. Altec Lansing, for example, revealed the return of GameShark–a brand of cheat cartridges and discs from the 1990s–as AI Shark, but in doing so might have spilled the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Per DigitalTrends, the press release for AI Shark not only describes what the returning brand will do in its new AI form, but also mentions that the new tech’s official launch is scheduled to “coincide with the Nintendo Switch 2 in September 2024.”
Nintendo has not revealed any information about its new console as of this writing, so there is a chance this is merely speculation on Altec Lansing’s part. Nintendo has not commented on the statement in the press release, but Altec Lansing has made a statement to DigitalTrends which clarified the September release month to a more general Fall 2024 release win…

The Adams administration unveiled a comprehensive zoning proposal that could pave the way for casino developments across broad sections of New York City.
Proposed Zoning Overhaul Opens Doors for Casinos Across New York City
Unlike the city’s current zoning regulations, the proposed changes would permit the establishment of casinos in any manufacturing district and nearly all commercial areas, with minimal restrictions on their size. The scope of the proposal extends beyond just gambling halls, as developers could incorporate additional amenities within the casino footprint, such as restaurants, hotels, bars, and performing arts venues.
City officials argue that these sweeping changes are essential to streamline the regulatory process for the winners of the highly sought-after casino license…

Dragonflight alpha testing has entered its second phase, giving players the chance to level through the Dracthyr starting zone and check out some of the new dungeons coming as part of the game’s latest expansion. One of those “new” dungeons is Uldaman, or at least a new portion of it.
This is according to analysts from JPMorgan who seem to be inclined to believe that the newly-established regulatory body, the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority or GCGRA is expected to move quicker than anticipated and possibly present the laws that would make it possible to introduce gambling.
Already the Groundwork for Something Bigger
The regulator earlier this year added a number of well-seasoned industry veterans whose expertise should in theory make it much simpler for the authority to set up everything it needs. Jim Murren was appointed chairman and Kevin Mullay stepped in as the CEO of the new watchdog.
So, why would the GCGRA move so quickly? JPMorgan seems inclined to believe that the regulator is keen to get all details hammered out and make sure that the upcoming $3.9-billion resort spearheaded by Wynn will be arr…
