Neil Patrick Harris is Deadpool in new Marvel VR game
Wade Wilson has a new voice (Marvel/Meta) Marvel has announced a new VR game centred around Deadpool, from the studio behind 'Splosion Man and Comic Jumper. There are a huge number of Marvel games in development at the moment, including Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra and a new fighting game from Arc System Works, but now another has been added to the pile at Summer Game Fest. Surprisingly, it's a VR game starring quippy anti-hero Deadpool, created by Twisted Pixel ('Splosion Man) and Oculus Studios in collaboration with Marvel Games. Even more surprisingly, Deadpool has a brand new voice, in Neil Patrick Harris, best known for starring in How I Met Your Mother, Netflix's A Series Of Unfortunate Events, and Doogie Howser, M.D. Marvel's Deadpool VR features a new original story, where the superhero is pulled into a portal to Mojoworld. After he signs a dodgy contract without reading the fine print, he's sent off to visit a bunch of locations from across the Marvel universe, facing villains both iconic and, as noted by the developers, 'not-so-iconic'. The gameplay blends parkour and combat, with a style described as 'if you can imagine it, you can probably do it'. Based on the trailer, you can shoot, throw your gun, wield enemies in a grappling beam, shove people against propellers, and skewer heads with your swords.

As you'd expect from Deadpool, it's all appropriately meta, with one nod levelled at a certain web-slinger on PlayStation: 'Spider-Man gets Insomniac, and I get this sh*t?' If you're a fan of Deadpool, this seems to be hitting all the right notes and Harris seems like a perfect fit for the character. We'll have to see though, if it can match the heights of fellow superhero VR title, Batman: Arkham Shadow. While Twisted Pixel were originally known for games like 'Splosion Man and Comic Jumper on the Xbox 360, in recent years the studio has created VR titles. The combat in Deadpool appears to be an evolution of their last action game, 2019's Path Of The Warrior. Marvel's Deadpool VR is slated to release late 2025 and is exclusive to Meta Quest 3 and 3S. If you fancy more Marvel games, Insomniac is working on a Wolverine project, an Iron Man game is in development at EA, and a throwback beat 'em up titled Marvel Cosmic Invasion is set to launch this year.

Fans of 'Deadpool' killer Wade Wilson make desperate plea as convicted killer is 'driven to the brink' in prison
Deadpool killer Wade Wilson whined about being 'driven to the brink' in prison as two fellow death-row murderers - including his former cellmate - have repeatedly threatened his life behind bars. The 30-year-old double murderer, who was sent to death row over the gruesome 2019 slayings of Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, has a loyal fanbase desperately trying to rescue him. Dubbed the 'Deadpool Killer' as he shares a name with the Marvel character, Wilson embarked on his hours-long crime spree in Cape Coral simply 'for the sake of killing.' His supporters - some of whom have called themselves the 'Wade Wilson Wives' - write him letters and advocate his innocence despite having never met the killer. On Wednesday it emerged that Wilson had complained to one of these women, who runs an online community in support of him, about how unsafe he feels behind bars. 'Threats... coupled with isolation, has driven him to the brink,' she wrote. The woman issued an urgent plea to correctional facilities, naming two other inmates - Daniel Craven and Peter Avsenew - as direct threats to Wilson's safety. Craven is on death row after he murdered his cell mate with the intention of starting a race riot in prison. He repeatedly stabbed the man with a makeshift shank. On Wednesday it emerged that Wilson had complained to one of these women, who runs an online community in support of him, about how unsafe he feels behind bars Craven was already serving a life sentence for the murder of his lover's husband, handcuffing him and drowning him in a dog bowl. And Avsenew was convicted of a brutal 2010 double murder in which he beat two men beyond recognition and shot them several times, before sealing their car and credit cards and going on a shopping spree. According to prison documentation seen by a review of the duo's conduct was completed and authorities determined there was 'no confirmed threat' which would require Wilson to receive additional protection inside the prison. The woman who raised the initial complaint argued in her response to the prison that 'the systemic issues of violence and the dismissal of inmates' complaints have plagued Florida's correctional facilities for decades. 'We are witnessing how the system deliberately allows inmates to be eliminated by the hands of others, creating conditions where survival is nearly impossible.' Wilson's terror behind bars comes shortly after revelations of his lengthy disciplinary record since arriving on death row. According to a 163-page disciplinary report, Wilson has repeatedly broken prison rules to wind up in confinement, barred from visitors and access to the outside world. He allegedly tried to smuggle out an autographed, handmade drawing to a woman he referred to only as 'Sweet Cheeks', with instructions to auction it off to the highest bidder. 'Due to my fame and the rarity of my signed work, this should sell quick and rake in the $,' he wrote. And Avsenew was convicted of a brutal 2010 double murder in which he beat two men beyond recognition and shot them several times, before sealing their car and credit cards and going on a shopping spree Pictures of 'Deadpool Killer' Wade Wilson reveal he has had a dramatic transformation behind bars as he languishes on death row previously revealed Wilson was being held in 'disciplinary confinement' inside Union Correctional Institution after he was transferred from Lee County. As per his disciplinary confinement, he's currently not eligible for regular guests or visitation rights. This has also been a point of contention among his loyal followers, who have bombarded the prison with complaints he is being treated unfairly. These women have turned the other cheek to the gruesome manner in which he carried out his crimes. Wilson's crime spree began on the afternoon of October 6, 2019, when he met Melton at a live music bar and went home with her. Wilson strangled her to death inside her home in Cape Coral the next day, where her body was found. The same day, Ruiz was reported missing after she was seen being asked for directions by Wilson while on her walk to work. He was driving a car he stole from Melton's home after he murdered her, which Ruiz got into before she was also strangled to death. The killer was arrested on October 8 2019 In testimony from Wilson's father, it was said that he went on to 'run her over until she looked like spaghetti.' Ruiz's body was found three days later in a field behind a Sam's Club. Wilson was also convicted of a number of charges, including the battery of his ex-girlfriend Melissa Montanez, 41, the burglary and theft of two homes, and the grand theft auto of Melton's car. Even still, Wilson's swooning fanbase wrote desperate letters to the judge in his case pleading for his freedom, and have stood by him even through the recent release of unflattering jailhouse photos which prove his appearance is a far cry from before his arrest. A trove of photos taken from the killer's Lee County jail approved tablet show Wilson is missing teeth and has gained weight in custody. The pictures were taken on his tablet, which snaps a picture every time it is accessed to ensure it is only being used by the inmate approved to use it. In one of the photos, Wilson's jaw appears to be out of alignment as he displays his missing and cracked teeth. And in another he wears what appears to be a bandage around his head, with a white bandana in a separate photo. The pictures, which were taken between 2023 and late 2024, show Wilson in a disheveled state and from unflattering angles, documenting a range of hairstyles, from a shaved head to longer curly locks.

Ryan Reynolds Wants To Make R-Rated Star Wars Project
Deadpool star pitched an R-rated Star Wars project to Disney. Reynolds is best known for playing Wade Wilson, who most recently appeared in the MCU movie Deadpool & Wolverine, which was released in 2024. That movie was directed by Shawn Levy, who is now working on his own Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Starfighter, which is scheduled to hit theaters in 2027. Speaking with Scott Mendelson on The Box Office podcast, Reynolds revealed that he once pitched an R-rated Star Wars project to Disney. 'It doesn't have to be overt, A+ characters. There's a wide range of characters you could use,' Reynolds said. 'And I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that. '…I'm not saying I want to be in it. That would be a bad fit. I'd want to produce and write, or be a part of behind the scenes. Those kinds of IP subsist really well on scarcity and surprise. We don't get scarcity really with Star Wars because of Disney+, but you can certainly still surprise people.' There has never been an R-rated Star Wars movie or show up until this point. There has also been no confirmation that any of the Star Wars projects that are currently in development will receive an R-rating; although, Andor's Tony Gilroy recently stated that he believes a Star Wars horror project is in the works at Lucasfilm. The next Star Wars movie that will be released in theaters is The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is being directed by Jon Favreau and is scheduled to arrive on May 22, 2026. Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter, meanwhile, will star Ryan Gosling and currently has a May 28, 2027, release date. Originally reported by Brandon Schreur at SuperHeroHype.
