IGN exclusively debuted the very first clip from Marvel Television’s Ironheart at IGN Live in Los Angeles today. The clip can be viewed via the player above or the embed below.

The scene features young genius Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) meeting with the enigmatic Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos), who offers Riri a Faustian bargain in her quest to create an “iconic” iron suit.

It was previously revealed that Riri resorts to stealing parts in order to build her suit of armor, which winds up getting her booted from MIT.

Set in Chicago after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ironheart, according to the series’ official synopsis, “pits technology against magic.”

In addition to Thorne and Ramos, Ironheart’s cast includes Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White.

Black Panther and Sinners director Ryan Coogler serves as an executive producer on Ironheart along with Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Chinaka Hodge, Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler.

The series’ head writer is Chinaka Hodge while episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes.

Ironheart premieres on Disney+ on June 24, 2025.

It remains to be seen when fans will see Ironheart again following her own streaming series as the character is among the many Marvel heroes not appearing in Avengers: Doomsday.

“Why did you let me live?,” Seong Gi-hun (Player 456) screams at the guards (and the omniscient organizers) in an IGN exclusive sneak peek at the first episode of Squid Game Season 3.

Still reeling after the murder of his best friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) and the seeming squashing of his rebellion movement, Gi-hun is despondent and alone in the barracks. Alone without resources, it begs the question, what do the orchestrators of the game want with Gi-hun as the series heads into its end game?

Everyone will get their answers when Squid Game’s finale drops exclusively on Netflix June 27th.

As part of this year’s IGN Live, our host Kim Horcher sat down with creator/director/writer Hwang Dong-hyuk and actors Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Park Sung-hoon, and Kang Ae-sim to find out what we can expect from the last episodes of the series.

Watch IGN's interview with the Squid Game stars and directors:

Undoubtedly, the exclusive clip reflects Gi-hun’s suffering in the wake of the ruinous Season 2 finale. With no certain path forward to stop the game, or to personally get out of the game alive, Jung-jae tells IGN that his character is in despair.

“The biggest change, I would say, is definitely the death of his very close friend who he relied a lot on and whom they had gone on this journey together. What you just saw here, is the beginning of a deep change that occurs within him. That's when he begins to gain that momentum of change,” the actor pinpoints.

Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk compares Gi-hu to Miguel de Cervantes’ tragic Don Quixote character who goes mad believing he's a valiant knight fighting imaginary enemies.

“Don Quixote is a character who thought the windmill was this monster that he had to bring down,” Dong-hyuk details. “He ran at it, wanting to bring it down, but couldn't. I believe Gi-hun is similar in the way he wanted to break down the system only to realize that he couldn't do it. After the failed rebellion, he is ridden with so much guilt because of having lost a lot of the people that he went into the rebellion with.”

Dong-hyuk says that the heavy burden of guilt will fill Gi-hun with a loss of hope and courage to start the season. “It’s almost to a point where it makes him want to just crawl deep inside himself. Season 3 is where you're going to see Gi-hun in that space.” He adds, how and where the character goes next is the main point of this final season.

Without a doubt, Hwang In-ho, the Front Man, the game overseer who spent Season 2 actually in the game in disguise as Player 001, will take advantage of Gi-hun’s current low and turn the screws even tighter in the game.

Lee Byung-hun confirms that his character has been observing Gi-hun and expects that he will come to his way of thinking by the end of the game. Gi-hun and In-ho both won their respective Squid Games but then went on to pursue vastly different paths. In-ho becomes fundamentally disillusioned with humanity and joins the games as an insider, while Gi-hun decides to reenter the games to destroy them from the inside.

“I think that when Front Man sees Gi-hun, he sees a little bit of himself in him,” he explains. “He is reminded of himself because they do have certain similarities where both of them came out as winners of Squid Game. But to see Gi-hun return to the game filled with the determination to bring down the system, he really wants to teach Gi-hun a lesson. And watching him, he still believes that, ‘You are going to end up just like me.’ However, while he's thinking that, he sees how Gi-hun continues to struggle to hold onto his beliefs.

Watch an exclusive clip from Squid Game, Season 3:

So, I think on the one hand, because Gi-hun reminds him of himself, he does have a sense of envy that he feels because he knows that what Gi-hun is doing is not something he was able to do. And also to see Gi-hun still continue to have hope for the world and for humanity, I think a small part of him is rooting for Gi-hun to be right.”

Some might argue that In-ho killing Jung-bae is a pretty extreme lesson already, but Byung-hun says that can’t be the final blow. “It probably wasn't something that he was 100% confident in doing,” he says of his character’s mindset about killing Jung-bae. “I'm sure that he was shaking a little bit on the inside as well, but I think that the Front Man felt that this is how far he needs to go in order to teach Gi-hun the lesson that he needs to be taught. And in Season 3, it's really going to take you on a journey towards that ultimate showdown between Gi-hun, who refuses to compromise his beliefs, and the Front Man.”

As fans speculate online about how Dong-hyuk will bring this epic story to a close, the creator says he actually looked to American television to guide him in how to craft a propulsive ending he hopes will ultimately satisfy.

“Every time I used to watch American [TV] series and it would end on a really strong cliffhanger, I would just be amazed at how they managed to make it like that because it makes you really want to see more,” he says with enthusiasm.

Knowing that Netflix’s cue makes it easy for viewers to just click to the next episode, Dong-hyuk used that built-in technology to spur him to close episodes with twists that make it mandatory for the audience to keep watching.

“With every ending for every episode, I really wanted to make sure that people had to see the next episode and that they were given no other choice,” he offers. “When I was writing the script for each episode, I was always thinking, ‘Where do I end it in just the right way, in just the right moment, so that people cannot bear but to press the next episode?’ I think it came to me naturally, as I was writing.”

We’ll find out soon if he achieved his lofty goals.

Squid Game Season 3 streams June 27 on Netflix.

IGN exclusively debuted the new trailer for the upcoming third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds at IGN Live today. Now you can watch it too via the player above or the embed below.

Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premieres on Paramount+ on July 17th.

“In season three, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn,” according to the official synopsis.

“But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, season three takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy and mystery, with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek.”

The new trailer sees the crew of the Enterprise trying to repel an invasion, leaning into the cosmic action as much as the humor and whimsy fans have come to expect from the series.

All the cast – – Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley, Ethan Peck as Spock, Jess Bush as Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’An Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, Babs Olusanmokun as Joseph M’Benga, Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk, Martin Quinn as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, and Carol Kane as Pelia – pop up throughout the trailer.

Marvel Studios is skipping next month’s San Diego Comic-Con and now, DC Studios will also reportedly refrain from promoting their films at the annual fan con.

“SDCC is two weeks after Superman arrives in theaters, so the company won't be doing anything on that front. And Supergirl doesn’t hit in theaters until June 26, 2026 so DC Studios is biding its time before making any reveals,” according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter.

THR adds, though, that “DC Studios is going all-in on Peacemaker, the hit John Cena The Suicide Squad spinoff created by DC co-chief James Gunn. Peacemaker will have a big footprint at the convention, a move that signals DC and Max’s confidence in season two, which bows Aug. 21. And, while DC had no comment, there could be a Hall H panel for the show.”

IGN has reached out to DC Studios for comment but had not heard back at time of publish.

If there is a Hall H panel for Peacemaker Season 2 then it would seem plausible that talent potentially attending could include DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran and cast members John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick, Frank Grillo, Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, and Tim Meadows.

If Peacemaker does have a panel at July’s SDCC perhaps the upcoming HBO Max series Lanterns will also be there. The show – starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, respectively – is currently in production.

We’ll know what DC Studios’ final SDCC plans are closer to when the convention takes place from July 24-July 27.

As revealed in the Peacemaker Season 2 trailer, there are two Peacemakers this season. Gunn and Cena appeared together at CCXP Mexico last week where Gunn said the mystery of how there could be two versions of Christopher Smith will be answered in the new season’s first episode.

Gunn also recently explained how Peacemaker, Season 2 is tied to his Superman movie and other upcoming DCU projects.

"You've seen what we call the QUC, the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, in the first season of Peacemaker, and we see more about that technology in Superman," Gunn said.

"The QUC is the center of the story in Peacemaker season 2. We see a lot of different characters from Superman in the [season], [including] Isabela and Nathan and Sean, and then we see a bunch of other characters later on in the season from other parts of the DCU and from Superman. There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show."

Peacemaker, Season 2 launches on HBO Max on August 21.

Blue Scuti: Tetris Crasher – the first documentary film from Legendary’s Unscripted division – tells the story of Willis Gibson, aka Blue Scuti, who, on December 21, 2023, was the first person in history to beat Tetris, a feat long thought impossible. And he did it at just age 13.

The success thrust Gibson into the spotlight overnight. But it was the timing of his achievement that makes his story that much more poignant and powerful as it came just days after the death of his dad, Adam. (Willis’ mom, Karin Gibson, also appears in the documentary.)

Blue Scuti: Tetris Crasher serves then not only as a chronicle of one gamer’s biggest win but also as, the film’s official synopsis puts it, “a coming-of-age story about overcoming grief, the power of community, and the rise of an unexpected internet legend.”

The feature-length documentary, written and directed by Chris Moukarbel, will have its world premiere June 11th at the Tribeca Film Festival. IGN has the exclusive first look at the film’s trailer, which can be viewed via the player above or the embed below.

Gibson, now 15, is as surprised as you might think to be the subject of a film and while he’s still only in high school. “It's not something I thought would ever happen. I mean, it's one of those things that are so out there,” Gibson told IGN this week. “Never once in my life did it occur as a possibility because it's just something that never happens.”

“A lot of my friends were really surprised. There was a moment last year for three weeks or two weeks where it was really popular in my school, but then after that it wasn't really much,” said Gibson. “A lot of other people in the Tetris community think that it's really cool, getting more eyes on the community. Just the overall response has been extremely positive.”

Gibson recalled the moment when he knew he’d beaten the game. “I only knew of one spot where the game could crash and when I missed it, I didn't know that when or where it was going to crash. So the fact that I did it right before the run ended, I think that multiplied my expression, like how big it was,” he said. “I wasn't expecting it to happen. I just knew it could. So when it did, I just got extremely happy and was shocked that I got it.”

He hopes that viewers of Blue Scuti: Tetris Crasher experience the joy of playing the game and the warmth of the Tetris community.

Maya Rogers, President and CEO of The Tetris Company, echoed that sentiment in a statement provided to IGN: “Willis’ incredible achievement in reaching the Tetris kill screen sparked an unprecedented wave of global interest. It was more than just a milestone — it was a powerful reminder of what Tetris represents: joy, resilience, and the magic of human connection. From the early friendship between creator Alexey Pajitnov and Tetris Company founder Henk Rogers to today’s passionate players, Tetris has always been about community. This was not only a win for Willis, but a proud moment for the entire Tetris family.”

Rogers and her dad Henk – himself the subject of the 2023 Tetris movie starring Taron Egerton – will both be at the Tribeca Film Festival in support of the documentary.

Willis Gibson will also be at Tribeca for next week’s premiere – his first time visiting New York City – but before that he will be competing in this weekend’s Classic Tetris World Championship in Pasadena, California.
