Ryan Reynolds thinks Deadpool 2 could be the last official movie starring the Merc with a Mouth, but will the X-Force really be ready to take over the franchise after the next film? We discussed that on today’s Nerdist News Talks Back, along with our reactions to the newest Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, and the futures of Arrested Development and Westworld.
Guest host Hector Navarro was joined today by Editor-in-Chief Rachel Heine, associate editor Kyle Anderson, and video editor Adam Murray, and they began by firing up the newest trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2. What do we think of it? Are we ready to saddle up again? Was it a mistake to make it a prequel? Will it have as long a shelf life as the multi-player GTA 5? And where does it rank on games we are most looking forward to this year?
Speaking of sequels, Deadpool 2 is just a few weeks away, and Ryan Reynolds surprised fans when he said this could be the final film starring the character because the X-Force could take over. Are we surprised by this? How much are we looking forward to his new team? Will they be able to carry the franchise? What role would Deadpool have going forward? And is this the perfect way to keep us from tiring of the character?
Finally this week we got news about the futures of Arrested Development and Westworld, including that before we get season five of the Bluth family we’re getting a “Cinco de Quatro” remix (a.k.a. shorter run times) of season four’s episodes. Do we like the sound of this, or would we just prefer to re-watch season four as it was? What do we hope to see from the show’s fifth season? And with Westworld renewed for a third year, what worlds do we hope to visit besides the Old West?
Remember Nerdist News Talks Back airs Monday through Thursday live at 1PM PT on our YouTube and Alpha channels, and we wrap up the week in entertainment with Nerdist News What the Fridays at 1PM PT, exclusively at Alpha. Tune in with us every day and join the conversation, because whether we get another ****ing Deadpool movie or not we’ll have a lot to discuss.
