A bunch of 20th Century Fox movies received new release dates on Monday including delays for X-Men: Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants, according to the likes of Collider, Deadline, Variety, The Wrap, The Hollywood Reporter, etc.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix has been moved from Nov. 2, 2018 to Feb. 14, 2019 and The New Mutants moves from Feb. 22, 2019 to Aug. 2, 2019. While Dark Phoenix apparently has to accommodate actor’s schedules for reshoots, it’s been revealed that New Mutants is in a little more trouble than that. Bohemian Rhapsody, the Freddie Mercury biopic starring Rami Malek (Mr. Robot), is now set for Nov. 2 after originally set to launch on Dec. 25, 2018. (Interestingly enough, there was no mention of the X-Men spinoff Gambit, which is still scheduled to be released on Jun. 7, 2019 until further notice).

Fox also removed their adaption of the 2017 novel The Force from their release schedule. What was supposed to be James Mangold’s (Walk the Line) followup to Logan was originally scheduled for Mar. 1, 2019. Fantasy flick The Kid Who Would Be King, the second directorial effort from Joe Cornish (Attack the Block), is now set for that Mar. 1 date after originally being scheduled for the Feb. 14 date now occupied by Dark Phoenix.

Finally, Spies in Disguise, the new animated movie from Ice Age creator Blue Sky Studios starring Will Smith (Men in Black) and Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming), has moved from Jan. 18, 2019 to Apr. 12, 2019. Faith-based drama Breakthrough starring Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) received that same Apr. 12, 2019 release date.

In summary:

X-Men: Dark Phoenix – 2/14/19 (originally scheduled for 11/2/18)

The Kid Who Would Be King – 3/1/19 (originally scheduled for 2/14/19)

Breakthrough – 4/12/19 (N/A)

Spies in Disguise – 4/12/19 (originally scheduled for 1/18/19)

The New Mutants – 8/2/19 (originally scheduled for 2/22/19)

The Force – N/A (originally scheduled for 3/1/19)

Here’s hoping these future Disney movies shape up well!

Need For Speed Heat Australian Release Date

The Need For Speed Heat Australian release date is November 8 2019. The game will be published by Electronic Arts and comes developed by Ghost Games. The game will be available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

EA says “The game deepens and expands everything Need for Speed fans love – expressive customisation, authentic urban car culture, and an immersive narrative that pulls you into the game.”

What is Need For Speed Heat about?

Need for Speed Heat sends fans to Palm City, a brand-new open world where street racers have gathered to make their names known. By day, players compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a sanctioned competition where they earn Bank to customise and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars. At night, players risk it all to build their Rep in underground races where a rogue police task force roams the streets, ready to take racers down and swipe all their earnings. The roads, the risks, and the rides never end in this street racer where a player can roll deep with their crew, build their garage full of hot cars, and make the city their nonstop playground.

Riley Cooper, Creative Director at Ghost Games said “Our fans have been clear that they want more cars, more customisation, and more challenges, and we’re tuning up on every aspect. From your character’s style to your car’s performance and your driving style, we’re fuelling everyone’s creativity with this new game.”
