Marvel has been teasing multiple villains for Spider-Man: No Way Home since the first official trailer for the movie back in August.

Now, thanks to the latest issue of Empire Magazine, we've learned that two more classic Spider-Man villains are joining the roster to face off against Tom Holland's Spider-Man.

This is your friendly neighborhood spoiler warning. If you want to know nothing about Spider-Man: No Way Home, turn back now.

According to the magazine, Rhys Ifans' Lizard (Dr. Curt Connors) from The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as Thomas Haden Church's Sandman (Flint Marko) from Spider-Man 3 will be joining the growing list of villains in No Way Home.

Images of the magazine posted on Twitter mention the two actors.

The original No Way Home trailer confirmed Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2, while also including teases to Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx’s Electro — who was already confirmed to return.

There have also been rumors that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are reprising their roles as Spider-Man as well, though Garfield has only denied those rumors, saying, "this is not something I'm aware I am involved in."

And if all these rumors weren't enough for you, there's also the Venom 2 post-credits scene that shows Venom and Eddie Brock transported to what appears to be the same Earth as Holland's Peter Parker. It remains to be seen if they'll be a part of No Way Home also.

In addition to today's news, we also got a fresh look at Doc Ock fighting Spider-Man, which caused Doc Ock to trend on Twitter.

Holland says the cast and crew are treating No Way Home as the "end of a franchise," and it certainly seems like they are going out with a bang. Holland will star alongside Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon also returning as MJ and Ned. No Way Home is set to hit theaters on December 17.

Zack Snyder has revealed that his Army of the Dead sequel is officially titled Planet of the Dead — and that one character may make an unexpected return in the film.

Army of the Dead ended with very few main characters having survived the Las Vegas mission, however, Snyder recently spoke to Inverse about the sequel, now titled Planet of the Dead, and hinted that one character might have some life left in him yet as he teased the potential return of Matthias Schweighöfer's Ludwig Dieter.

"The real adventure would be to see what happened to [Dieter] when that safe door closed. Did he get killed by Zeus or not? What happened?" Snyder quizzed. "We don't see him die on camera, and there's still some time left. I won't tell you what happens in Army of the Dead 2 — aka Planet of the Dead — but let's just say that there's a chance Dieter survives. And there's a chance that brush with death would have caused him to want to find a jailed Gwendoline."

Before the sequel arrives, Schweighöfer's character is set to appear in Netflix's Army of Thieves, a prequel that will see him joining a misfit crew of aspiring thieves as they attempt to crack three legendary safes across Europe. The movie will no doubt give audiences plenty to chew on and spit out in terms of theories, similar to Army of the Dead's time loop debate.

"I'm a huge fan of this mythological understory," Snyder recently told GamesRadar, touching on whether the time loop may come up again in the sequel. "All your time loop fun that you can have, there's a lot of cool enhancements that are baked in now. I can't wait to make the sequel to Army of the Dead, so that we can see how then all of those things manifest."

Army of Thieves will breakout onto Netflix this October 29. The movie may not have any zombies in sight but there will be plenty of stealing. Check out this exclusive heist scene from the zombie-less prequel before reading our review of the movie, which we called a treat for anyone looking for "a piece of disposable entertainment" in the multi-pronged franchise.

Apple Music has officially launched for the PlayStation 5, making it the first console to feature the music streaming service since Apple launched it.

As announced in an article on the PlayStation Blog, starting today PlayStation users with an Apple Music subscription will be able to stream music directly from their PlayStation 5.

Through the Apple Music app, players will be able to listen to music both in the PlayStation 5 menus and during gameplay. According to the blog post, in addition to being able to listen to their own playlists and over 90 million different songs, Apple Music subscribers will also be able to find recommendations for playlists that match the games they're currently playing as well as a range of music videos that can be streamed in 4k.

The addition of Apple Music to the PlayStation 5 only helps to bolster the current roster of media apps on the console and strengthen its ability to act as an all-in-one home entertainment system. The music streaming service joins a host of third-party apps including the likes of Twitch, YouTube, Apple TV+ and Netflix.

Despite Apple Music's arrival on PlayStation, some users may feel that the tech giant has turned up a little late to the party. Music streaming provider Spotify – arguably Apple's largest rival in the music streaming industry – launched its app on PlayStation consoles in 2017 where it was available to both PS3 and PS4 users on release. While Spotify remains available on those devices as well as PS5, it is currently unclear as to whether Apple Music will expand to older console generations in the future.

After months of rumors, Intel has finally announced its 12th Gen Alder Lake desktop processors.

The Alder Lake line features six processors that debut Intel’s new hybrid architecture, which mixes performance and efficiency x86 cores. Intel says the Performance (P-cores) are optimized for single and lightly-threaded performance while the Efficiency (E-cores) are optimized for highly-threaded workloads with the company’s Thread Director designed to keep track and analyze performance data in real-time and place the right application you have opened up on the proper core.

The Alder Lake desktop CPUs also introduce support for DDR5 RAM, PCIe Gen 5, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6E on the new Z690 chipset. Unfortunately, these new processors won’t work with Z590 or older motherboards as the new chips use an LGA 1700 socket unlike the LGA 1200 socket found on the 11th gen (Rocket Lake) and 10th gen (Comet Lake) Intel Core processors.

Leading the 12th Gen line is the $589 Core i9-12900K, which features 16 cores (8 P-cores and 8 E-cores), 24 processor threads, and boosted clock speeds up to 5.2GHz. The flagship Alder Lake processor has more cores than the flagship Rocket Lake which had 8 cores and 16 threads, but slightly higher boost clock speeds (5.3GHz).

Other processors in the Alder Lake line include the $564 Core i9-12900KF, which includes the same processor cores and threads as the i9-12900K. The $409 i7-12700K, the $384 i7-12700KF, the $289 i5-12600K, and the $264 i5-12600KF. All the specs for each desktop CPU can be viewed in the image below.

Intel is touting its flagship Alder Lake processor as the best for gaming, with its own in-house benchmark testing. Intel demonstrated a test with the Core i9-12900K by testing several games, such as Age of Empires IV, Crysis: Remastered, and Hitman 3, and stacking them up to the last-gen Intel Core i9-11900K and AMD’s Ryzen 5950x CPU. The benchmark showed that Core i9-12900K had a higher FPS count in most games, but it also noted that the flagship Alder Lake and Rocket Lake CPUs were on par in FPS performance for Crysis: Remastered.

Nevertheless, these are Intel’s in-house benchmarks and should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s also important to note all these tests were running on Windows 11 Pro with a resolution of 1080p and not 4K.

The new 12th Gen Intel desktop processors are available starting November 4.

Shoji Meguro, the Japanese composer best known for his work on the Persona series, has resigned from his position after a 25-year tenure at Atlas. He now plans to develop his own indie games.

“I know this is quite sudden, but I, Shoji Meguro, resigned from Atlus Co., Ltd. at the end of September 2021,” announced Meguro in a short statement posted to his Twitter account. According to the composer, the decision to leave the company has come so that he can focus on his dream of developing indie games.

インディーゲーム作家に俺はなる！
ということで（株）アトラスを退社してインディーゲーム作家の道に進むことになりました！
とは言え（株）アトラスとは今後も良好な関係を続けていきます。
今後とも目黒将司とともにアトラスサウンドチームにもご期待ください。

“I’ve been creating role-playing games by myself during my spare time for the past five years now," said Meguro elsewhere in the statement. "I applied for a Round 1 Kodansha Game Creators Lab recruitment and was selected as one of the finalists. Then staff from Kodansha was assigned to work with me.”

Despite leaving the company last month, Meguro says that he has maintained a "good" relationship with Atlus. With that in mind, the composer eased fans' concerns in regards to the future of music in Atlas-made games. "I will continue to work with Atlus on game music," Meguro said. "So I hope that those of you who were concerned about the sudden announcement will feel relieved."

Meguro joined Atlus in 1995, helping to craft the soundtrack to the company's 1996 release of Revelations: Persona. Since then, the composer has worked alongside a wealth of other composers to create music for the company. While his work on subsequent entries into the Persona series is likely his most recognized, particularly in the west, Meguro is also known for his work on the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.

In a separate tweet published to Twitter, Meguro delved a little further into the game that he's currently been developing. As per the screenshots below, the game appears to include stealth mechanics and a sci-fi theme. Meguro has said that fans will be able to see more from the game on November 6 when it will be officially revealed at the Indie Live Expo.
