Recently Released Android Games That Are Too Good to Ignore

 There is no shortage of mobile games on Google Play. Every month there is a constant influx of new ones, and the numbers keep increasing. It is, therefore, hard to keep up with the regular launch of new games. It does not matter what kind of games you might be looking for; there is a guarantee that Google Play will undoubtedly have several games of that genre. So, there is never an issue of lack of options, but instead, too many choices create the Paradox of choice, which is often detrimental to emotional and psychological well-being. Therefore, it is essential to eliminate a significant number of alternatives to make decisions easier. Today, we have compiled a list of the best Android games launched in the last few months to do the same. 

BTS Universe Story

With several gacha elements, BTS Universe Story is a novel style game that is surprisingly good. It is unique because of the option to create your own stories, which give every player the story creation tools. Now, one can create and play his own story or let others play it. This makes BTS Universe Story exceptional because of its extraordinary replay value. Since every player has the tool to create their own story, there is no lack of stories to play through. The gameplay has been kept simple, which makes it even more alluring. It is free-to-play and one of the best in the visual novel space. 



Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact has already been drawing comparisons with Zelda: Breath of the Wild ever since its surprise release a few ago. It is a role-playing game with gacha elements. The graphics of Genshin’s Impact are impressive and captivating. The player is even given a glider, which can be used to travel long distances. Overall, the game is exciting, and even though one might find the monetization system complicated to get used to, it is worth the effort. The game is free-to-play, which means enjoying the premium game without even spending a penny, making it even more appealing.

9th Dawn III

9th Dawn III is a role-playing game with enemy spawns and several dungeon elements. The game offers a lot of gear that players have to loot. It has a vast world where one can go fishing, cook, and recruit monsters. Therefore, there is no dearth of stuff to experience, and it even has a full card game within the game to top it all. The game costs $9.99 with no additional in-app purchases, which seems like a good deal considering other games in its genre.

Sword Master Story

Sword Master Story is a role-playing game that handles the combat on behalf of the players, and all one needs to do is play through a story. There are a number of tasks that one needs to accomplish, like collecting over 40 heroes, finding gear, and much more. Although it might not be that exciting, it is a good time killer. Apart from that, the only other complaint that players have is the poor translation from Japanese to English; if you can overlook these factors, Sword Master Story might be the perfect time-pass game for you.

Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells

Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells is like all other match-three games. Although it does have a Harry Potter theme, as the name suggests but there is nothing special about it. The players are tasked to follow a story and unlock moments from the films if they are completed successfully. The game is not simple, and in the later stages, it can even be frustratingly challenging to play. It is free-to-play and ideal for someone who likes match-three games.

Illusion Connect

Illusion Connect has social game and gacha elements, even though it’s a role-playing strategy game. The game has over 50 characters, and one can spend a lot of time with each one. It is a mashup of various genres like RPG, gacha, strategy, etc., and manages to be fun to play. One can get additional benefits using social links, and the micro-transaction is also decent.

These are some of the best games that have been released for Android in the last few weeks on the Play Store. Although there are already several outstanding games, these are potentially going to be the best ones on Google Play in the future. There is no reason to hesitate, go ahead and try them; they are too good to ignore.

Recasting The Characters Of The Bourne Identity

 The Bourne Identity is an action-spy thriller film directed by Doug Liman and released in the year 2002. It is the first installment in the Jason Bourne film series. The famous actor Matt Damon is playing the role of Jason Bourne in this film series. The film is based on a novel of the same name written by Robert Ludlum. The story of the film revolves around the character Jason Bourne who is finding his true identity and suffering from psychogenic amnesia. There are various characters, including Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity, who have given fantastic performances in the film. But, who would be a great recast for the modern version of Jason Bourne film? In this article, we have discussed some of the best Hollywood actors and actresses who would be considered for the recasting of The Bourne Identity if the film has to be made today.

Jason Bourne: Chris Pratt

Matt Damon is the leading protagonist and performed brilliantly in the film The Bourne Identity. Talking about serious roles, Matt Damon can flourish in these roles. Chris Pratt is a young Hollywood actor and a famous candidate who would be recast in the newer version of Jason Bourne film. Fans have already seen him in the role of an action hero, and he is also a good looking man just like Matt Damon in 2002. Being a younger star, Chris can manage the entire Jason Bourne film series.



Marie Kreutz: India Eisley

The character of Marie Kreutz is portrayed by Franka Potente in the Jason Bourne series. She is a German actress and played the fantastic role of Jason Bourne’s girlfriend in the first two movies. A younger actress like India Eisley would be a perfect choice to play Jason Bourne’s girlfriend in place of Franka in the film. She holds considerable acting experience at such an early age and would be a better replacement for Franka. She is a beautiful and stunning actress and has also played the lead role in the TV series The Secret Life of the American Teenager and the film Headspace.

Alexander Conklin: Robert Patrick

The famous actor Chris Cooper played the role of the main antagonist in the film The Bourne Identity. Robert Patrick is one of the youngest actors in Hollywood and has a great experience playing the role of a likable antagonist. He would be a perfect choice to replace Cooper in the latest version of the film The Bourne Identity if the film was to be made today with new characters. Robert has played various villains in several famous Hollywood blockbusters such as Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Double Dragon, and Die Hard 2. So, he would fit into the role of Cooper very easily.

The Professor: Christian Bale

The character of The Professor in The Bourne Identity is portrayed by one of the most versatile and ageless actors Clive Owen. Although it has been 18 years since the original film The Bourne Identity was released, Clive Owen is still young enough to re-play the role of The Professor in the latest version of the film. To include the latest characters in this new Jason Bourne film, Christian Bale is one of the best actors to play the role of The Professor. He can adapt to any kind of role and perform it brilliantly. Christian has age and acting abilities similar to Owen. In this way, Christian would be an excellent replacement for Owen if The Bourne Identity was to be made today.

Ward Abbott: Benecio Del Toro

Brian Cox played the character of Ward Abbott in the 2002 film The Bourne Identity. Benecio Del Toro is a great replacement for Cox because he has already played various characters younger and older than his real age in various films in the past. Toro is an excellent Hollywood actor who can replace Cox in the modern version of Jason Bourne film.

After discussing some of the best actors in Hollywood, we have concluded that all of the above-discussed actors have great potential and ability to replace the old cast members of the film The Bourne Identity if it has to be made today.


Quiet Place 3 Will Release in 2022

 A Quiet Place spinoff film in the underworld and is planned for a release date in 2022. A Quiet Place is a post-apocalyptic science fiction horror movie directed by John Krasinski. Krasinski also starred in the film alongside Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds. The film has received many awards nominations, including the Producers Guild of America Award for Best Theatrical Motion Picture, Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Blunt’s brilliant performance, and Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay.

2018 A Quiet Place was also nominated for Academy Award for Best Sound Editing and BAFTA Award for Best Sound. The film collected over a gross of $340.9 million against a budget of $17-21 million.

The movie revolves around the Earth’s animals and humans wiped by extraterrestrial creatures. The creatures have great hearing power and attack anything that makes noise. The Abbott family is living in a deserted town. The family communicates in sign language and goes barefoot out in the open.



The second sequel of the movie, A Quiet Place Part II, was planned to release in the past spring. However, due to the COVID-19, the second sequel’s release date is postponed for the April 2021 release. The pandemic crisis did not slow down the team production work, and they are working to develop some more installments.

Krasinski has some great ideas in his mind regarding the third sequel of the franchise, A Quiet Place 3. And the team is planning to expand the A Quiet Place franchise spinoff movie. In an interview with Deadline, Jeff Nichols shared that he is hired to direct and write a new movie for this franchise. The team has also revealed that the sequel’s release date will be 2022; the date and month have not yet been shared.

However, the team has not spoken anything about the plot, but it is known it will stick to the “original idea.”

Krasinski suggested that the second installment of the film A Quiet Place Part II would focus on other survivors struggling with the post-apocalyptic world. Although that does not seem happening as Emily Blunt will be featuring in her role Evelyn Abbott.

After this pandemic, the studios will desperately try to recover the loss during this period. And the new installment of the pre-existing property sounds like a safe game. And according to the previous collection, it is pretty certain the franchise will do well at the box office.

The project will also be a big-budget movie for writer Nichols. The screenwriter is known for small dramas like Midnight Special and Mud. He has studied filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Nichols’ Mud starred Matthew McConaughey competed for Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. So it will be interesting to see what he can make out of the already popular A Quiet Place franchise. Krasinski is very passionate about the franchise, and Nichols’ involvement will surely help the universe grow. They both have a sensibility about what does and does not work in a horror series.

Hopefully, the duo of two talented writers and directors will create something compelling about it.

Peggy is Elaine’s colleague at J. Peterman and believes that Elaine is a lustful woman with multiple partners. Elaine does not like this attitude of Peggy, and knowing the fact that Peggy is a “germaphobe,” she spreads her germs on several objects in Peggy’s office, such as doorknobs, keyboards, and more. It proves that Elaine is a hard-hearted and unsympathetic woman, and that is the reason why most of the fans hated Elaine in the series.

When She Gets Babu Bhatt Deported

Jerry has to go out of town for a comedy stint, so he gives the responsibility of taking care of all his emails to Elaine. But, she does not take care of his mails carefully because the visa renewal form of a poor restaurateur Babu Bhatt, has been sent to the mailbox of Jerry in error. Because of this reason, Babu Bhatt is pulled off by the INS and deported to his country, Pakistan. However, it is the fault of both Jerry and Elaine.

When She Abandons The Gang

Elaine dates Kevin for a very short time and decides to end this relationship. However, she wants to continue with Kevin as a friend. Jerry tells Elaine that Kevin is a “Bizarro” version of himself, but she decides to get closer to Kevin’s group. Elaine wants to choose the new group of friends, and that can be considered as a betrayal. But, in the end, it does not happen because Elaine does not fit into Kevin’s group and is consequently told never to return.

In this article, we have discussed some of the scenes from the series where fans did not like Elaine’s character. We have concluded that Elaine is not a woman with a great character as she tries to betray her group of friends, germifies Peggy, and is not also a responsible person. These are the reasons why people hated her in the series.

In the HBO series Euphoria, she is in the lead role and portrays the character of Rue. She also won an Emmy award for playing the remarkable role of Rue in Euphoria. She is a highly talented and skilled actress who could easily fit into the character of Sidney Prescott. The character of Sidney experiences real trauma because of the threats on her own life and the loss of her mother. She has to overcome great struggles to make it out alive. In this way, Sidney’s character is similar to Rue’s character portrayed by Zendaya in the Euphoria TV series. Also, after watching Zendaya playing the role of MJ in the Spider-Man movies of the MCU, she could be considered as an excellent replacement for Sidney Prescott in the 2020 version of Scream.



Charles Melton As Billy Loomis

Charles Melton is a brilliant actor in Hollywood. He is better known for his fantastic role as Reggie in the CW’s TV series Riverdale. He has also played a famous character of Daniel Bae in the romantic film The Sun is Also a Star. The filmmakers could consider him an excellent choice for playing the role of Billy Loomis if the film Scream was to be made in 2020. He has great experience in playing a romantic lead role and has a charming personality that can hush audiences before switching into Billy’s revengeful side. Melton can win the heart of fans through his stunning performance and personality. In this way, he could fit easily into the character of Billy Loomis in the recasting of Scream.

China Anne McClain As Tatum Riley

China Anne McClain is another young and talented actress in Hollywood. She has played a crucial role in the CW’s TV series Black Lightning. She portrays the character of Jennifer Pierce in this series by displaying genuine convictions in her boundaries and beliefs, which are some of the qualities similar to Tatum Riley. Tatum portrays the character of Rose McGowan in Wes Craven’s original film Scream. China Anne McClain could be the perfect choice for playing the character of Rose in place of Tatum because she might expertly handle Tatum’s cool-girl vibes and genuinely care for Sidney, who is the best friend of Rose in the original film Scream.

Jack Mulhern As Randy Meeks

Randy Meeks is a kind of character who has a vast and complete knowledge of horror movies, and Jack would be ideal for playing the role of Randy in the 2020 version of Scream as he is similar to Randy in various aspects.

Randy has an astute nature, and similarly, Grizz also possesses strong self-confidence and beliefs in his knowledge. In this way, Jack Mulhern could play the role of Randy Meeks in a much better way in the 2020 version of Stream.

After discussing some of the best actors that might be considered for the recasting of Scream in 2020, we have concluded that all of the above-discussed actors are very talented and have enough potential to replace the old cast members of Wes Craven’s original film Scream.

Recasting 2000’s X-Men In 2020

 

Recasting 2000’s X-Men In 2020


The X-Men movies are famous in Hollywood among fans. The X-Men franchise first launched its film in 2000 with some of the most famous cast members, including the iconic actor Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and more. These movies are based on Marvel Comics. Bryan Singer directed the first X-Men movie that became one of the most remarkable adaptations of the Marvel Comic books. Hugh Jackman is playing the character of Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, who is the center of attraction in all X-Men movies. But, who would be cast in the X-Men movies if it was made in 2020? This article has discussed some of the best cast members who can replace the old cast members in the X-Men franchise.

Aidan Turner As Wolverine

Hugh Jackman plays a vital role in the X-Men franchise as Wolverine, and it is not an easy task for everyone to replace him. But, Aidan Turner is one of the best actors to fit in the role of Wolverine because of his build and a 3-inch shorter height than Hugh Jackman. According to Marvel Comics, Wolverine is a character with a short build, and Turner is a perfect replacement for Jackman if the X-Men movies were made in 2020. Turner has already worked in some of the blockbuster movies, such as The Hobbit trilogy, where he plays the character of Kili, and this could be an advantage to him in playing the lead role in the X-Men movies.



Bryce Dallas Howard As Jean Grey

Bryce Dallas Howard would be a great choice to play the character of Jean Grey in the X-Men movies. However, Janssen is a much bigger star than Bryce, but she can replace her in 2020’s X-Men movies if it happens. Bryce has already played a Marvel character as Gwen Stacy in the film, Spider-Man 3 and also played a remarkable role in the Jurassic World franchise. But she has not played the role of a superhero so far. This could be an excellent opportunity for her to play as a superhero if the X-Men franchise considers her in their new X-Men movies.

Jensen Ackles As Cyclops

Jensen Ackles is an excellent choice to consider for Cyclops’ role as he has been playing a lead role in the television series, Supernatural, for the last fifteen years. In real life, Jensen Ackles is relatively younger than James Marsden to play Scott Summers more maturely. If the X-Men movies were to be made in 2020, it could also show the chemistry between Jensen Ackles and Bryce Howard, indicating the romance between Jean and Scott in a much better way. Also, Jensen Ackles is all set to play the role of the leading superhero in the upcoming season 3 of the famous TV series, The Boys as Soldier Boy. So, the fans would love to see him playing the character of Cyclops.

Sonequa Martin-Green As Storm

The character of Storm is played by Halle Berry in the X-Men franchise. Sonequa Martin-Green could be a great choice to play the role of Ororo Munroe/Storm in the new X-Men movies if it happens. Sonequa Martin-Green is currently one of the rising stars in Hollywood and has a lot of experience. She has played a significant role as Sasha Williams in the TV series, The Walking Dead, and she is playing the character of Michael Burnham in the current television series, Star Trek: Discovery. Sonequa Martin-Green could be the ideal actress to replace Halle Berry as Storm.

In this article, we have mentioned some of the most famous rising Hollywood stars who can replace the old cast in the X-Men movies. If the X-Men movies were to be made in 2020, all of the above-discussed actors could be considered to recast the X-Men movies.
