While little is known about Ubisoft's deal with Netflix at this early stage, the two companies have shared some important details, noting that while this live-action series will be the first one out of the gate, it won't be the only Assassin's Creed series Netflix produces.
Back in May, The CW made the surprise announcement that Ruby Rose, the leading star in its new Batwoman series, was exiting the show after one season. The company made the decision to keep the show alive, stating that it would replace the actress with a new lead to pick things up in the second season -- and now, months later, we've gotten a look at the new Batwoman.
The Uncharted movie is a project that's been in the works for a long, long time, but now we're seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. With a release date set for July of next year, star of the movie Tom Holland today shared the first image of him in the role of Nathan Drake. While on the surface Tom Holland might seem like a strange choice for the role of Nathan Drake - the actor is already Spider-Man, after all - the image does show a rather surprising resemblance to the video game icon.

After last week's teaser, the first trailer for Monster Hunterhas arrived, giving us our first full look at the movie. Thus far, it's been somewhat difficult to gauge the Monster Hunter movie, and it seems that fans are probably cautious heading into this release given the general quality of video game movie adaptation across the board.

It's not unusual for online services that require some payment be it a one-time purchase or a recurring subscription, to offer a free trial period. After all, unlike physical products you can touch and see, there is really no way to gauge digital products without trying them first. For a time, Netflix offered such trials in varying lengths but now it seems that the streaming service has become confident enough to ask new users for payment right from the start without even sampling the goods.
Viacom's free ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV will be offering its users access to one of Netflix's more popular original shows, Narcos.
