This announcement had been preceded by rumors about Jordan directing in 2020. “Creed” co-star Tessa Thompson let word slip that Jordan would be assuming the director’s chair, but both Jordan and MGM had remained tight-lipped on the matter until now. Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time in the history of “Rocky” movies that the…

While “Remnant” certainly does take some mechanics that were either popularized or originated by “Dark Souls”, it plays and feels very differently with its own identity. To get the “Souls”…
