Marvel movies will stop coming to Netflix starting with ‘Captain Marvel’

The days of Marvel movies on Netflix are numbered. When Captain Marvel gets released next year, that will be the first Marvel Studios film to be offered exclusively through Disney’s upcoming streaming service. Ant-Man and the Wasp will be the last Marvel Cinematic Universe film to come to the service. As for the Marvel Netfix shows, these don’t seem to be going anywhere just yet. A Disney spokeswoman told The New York Times that there are “no current plans” to move these shows off Netflix.

This move is not surprising at all since Disney has long wanted to contend with Netflix and has even pulled out key Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar movies from the streaming network. Netflix is hoping that its huge investment in original content can counteract the loss of marquee content from big studios.

‘Kingdom Hearts 3’ promises over 80 hours of content

Square Enix

If you want to get the full Kingdom of Hearts 3 experience, prepare to spend over 80 hours playing the game. If you’re sticking with the main campaign, you’ll get around 40 to 50 hours of gameplay. Now, if you want to play the mini-games, Geek.com reports that you better be prepared to play almost double of that. Some of the mini games you can play include a Ratatouille-based cooking game and "20 different old-school Tiger Toys/Game & Watch style 2D side scrolling games based on Mickey cartoons from the 1930s and 40s." Kingdom Hearts 3 is set to come out on January 29, 2019 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Original Mr. Fantastic in ‘Fantastic Four’ films wants a piece of the MCU action

20th Century Fox

If the Disney and 20^th Century Fox deal pushes through, this could mean Fantastic Four can join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And one of its original actors wants to make the leap. Ioan Gruffudd, who played Mr. Fantastic or Reed Richards in the first two Fantastic Four films, wants to be part of the MCU. "I would love that," Gruffudd told Digital Spy. "I just don't know, in that universe, the Marvel world, would they let me play something else? I'm so renowned for Fantastic Four. But a couple of actors have [made the leap]." He’s referring to both Chris Evans and Michael B Jordan, who both played Human Torch or Johnny Storm, and are now known as Captain America and Killmonger, respectively.

"I'm sure for Marvel it was a tough decision to pick Chris to play that part [Captain America] because he'd already played one superhero, but what a brilliant decision it was, because he's wonderful," Gruffudd said. "And Michael B Jordan has played Johnny Storm and he's amazing in Black Panther as well, so there are precedents set. So, we'll see." If he could play someone else, Gruffudd said he’d want to be a villain. "Maybe [I could play] a baddie, this time? Now that I've established myself as somebody who can do that, that would be great," he said.

Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition will soon support Spotify

If you’ve made a kid-friendly playlist for your child, you can soon stream that through their Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition. Amazon will soon let parents pair their kids’ devices with their Spotify account. This integration will automatically filter out any songs with explicit language, which parents can toggle off in Amazon’s FreeTime dashboard. But now, at least your child can listen to his or her favorite song without needing you to play it for them.

On top of this, the Echo Dot Kids Edition is getting new Disney content, such as character alarms and an updated “Disney Dailies.” The latter is a skill that lets kids listen to jokes and other content from familiar Disney characters. Amazon is set to roll out the update this week.
