Superman Legacy: Rachel Brosnahan Says It Would Be “Extraordinary” To Play Lois Lane
Actress Rachel Brosnahan is reportedly on the shortlist to play Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman Legacy movie from writer-director James Gunn. No official casting announcements have been made, but Brosnahan is excited about the idea of playing the journalist.
“Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt. But it would be extraordinary,” Brosnahan said on The View. “I grew up watching Lois Lane. This incredibly talented journalist who is far from a damsel in distress. I would jump at the chance if it arose.”
Brosnahan is best known for her roles on House of Cards and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Others said to be in the running for Lois Lane in Superman Legacy include Emma Mackey (Sex Education), Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), and Samara Weaving (Scream VI).
Superman: Legacy May Have Found Its Leads
Though James Gunn’s Superman movie is a ways off, the new co-head of DC Films has been fairly open about his plans for the character and what he’s looking for in an actor to play him. Historically, playing the Man of Steel has been a bit of a mixed bag, and names are frequently floated out there (either true or not…
‘Hogwarts Legacy’ on Switch just got hit with another massive delay
It’s no secret that the Nintendo Switch is showing its age, making it difficult to port games over from more powerful consoles. The latest hurdle for third-party publishers? Hogwarts Legacy developers just announced that the Nintendo Switch version of the open-world wizard simulator is getting another significant delay, all the way until November 14th.
This isn’t the first delay the port’s faced, as it was originally supposed to release in April after being pushed back to July 25th. At that time, all of the last-gen ports got hit with a delay, but the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions have since been released. The title originally launched for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC back in February.
Developers said the Switch delay is so it can provide the “best possible experience” for players. It’ll be interesting to see how the game performs when it eventually launches and what changes are made to accommodate the aging hardware. For those looking for a portable version of Hogwarts Legacy right now, instead of six months from now, the game is verified for the Steam Deck.
Despite some controversy,Hogwarts Legacy has become a bona-fide hit for Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games, selling over 15 million copies and generating over $1 billion in revenue.

Starting Hogwarts Legacy for the first time?
Harry Potter star teases cryptic Hogwarts Legacy announcement
Some sort of Hogwarts Legacy Draco Malfoy collaboration is on the way, as the Harry Potter film actor Tom Felton has appeared in a brief teaser to do with an upcoming YouTube video for the RPG game. While the cryptic tease still doesn’t reveal what is planned for Hogwarts Legacy with Felton’s involvement, it’ll definitely send the rumour mill into overdrive.

‘Hogwarts Legacy’ adds arachnophobia mode for spider-free gaming
Arachnophobic Harry Potter fans, rejoice. Developer Avalanche Software has added a new accessibility feature to Hogwarts Legacy that removes spiders from the game. The update coincides with the title’s arrival on PS4 and Xbox One today.
The Hogwarts Legacy update (build 1140773) launched Thursday adds the new Arachnophobia Mode to the game’s accessibility options. It changes all enemy spider appearances to what you see in the image above: a floating meanie with glowing red eyes surrounded by hovering roller skates. The skates are a wink to Ron’s boggart encounter (manifested as a giant spider) in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when students imagine their greatest fears in ridiculous situations that diminish their power; Ron conquers his fears by imagining the arachnid clumsily trying to stand up on slippery skates.
Arachnophobia Mode also “reduces and removes spider skitters and screeches,” “removes small spider ground effect spawners,” and “makes static spider corpses in the world invisible.” However, the game’s creators note that spider images in the Field Guide remain unchanged, so avoid that if static images of spiders creep you out.
Our latest patch for #HogwartsLegacy includes Arachnophobia Mode, making venturing into spider-infested areas significantly less intimidating!

It’s the latest example of the gaming industry showing increased sensitivity toward people with common phobias. Similarly, the miniaturized survival game Grounded added a similar mode that turned its spiders into floating orange blobs analogous to those in Hogwarts Legacy. Last month, a patch for Horizon Forbidden Westaddressed fears of deep bodies of water (thalassophobia). Games are ideally a fun time for all, and a little extra work from developers can go a long way toward preventing anxiety triggers.
The Hogwarts Legacy update corresponds with the game’s launch on previous-generation (PS4 / Xbox One) consoles today. It arrived on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X / S in February. A Switch port is due on July 25th. Engadget’s Jessica Conditt found it “the coolest work of Harry Potter fanfiction in years,” fulfilling a teenage dream of being a witch.

The Wizarding World Awaits: Hogwarts Legacy is Available Now on Xbox One
What is the Hogwarts Legacy House Cup?
Want to know if you can win the Hogwarts Legacy House Cup or if it’s even in the game? If you’re familiar with the Harry Potter universe, you’ll already know that teachers blurt out “ten points to Gryffindor” at every opportunity. These proclamations serve a purpose in the books and films: every point gets a student’s house ever closer to sealing victory and earning the House Cup.
Students at Hogwarts earn points for many reasons, whether by learning Hogwarts Legacy spells quickly in classes or by feats of bravery or cunning. Winning the House Cup is a badge of honour for all students in the school, so no matter which house the Hogwarts Legacy sorting hat dumps you in, there would theoretically be a chance for you to get a share of the glory as part of the best Hogwarts Legacy house. If you help win it in your first year by completing tasks in the open-world game, then all the better.
