Thanks to a hectic production schedule, The Fantastic Four: First Steps didn’t begin filming until July 29, the day after Comic-Con. That wasn’t enough time to get a trailer together, but Marvel didn’t come to D23 empty-handed. During the presentation for the Fantastic Four reboot, Marvel shared the first look at Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch costume in the film.
As you can see from the pic, it’s not an exact recreation of Johnny Storm’s costume from the comics. It looks more like a hazard suit than a traditional costume. But it does have the bright blue area and a retro-looking 4 logo that echo some of the older Human Torch outfits.
The pic in question came from a short video featuring Quinn alongside his FF co-stars, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach from th…
Fntastic, the developer behind the troubled game The Day Before, has canceled its Kickstarter campaign for Escape Factory due to a lack of interest. The game, which aimed to deliver a physics-based multiplayer co-op experience, raised only $2,388 of its $15,183 goal (converted from Singapore dollars) with just 50 pledges. In a statement posted on social media, the studio indicated that Escape Factory had not generated sufficient interest and would be placed on hold, while announcing the development of a new project called Items, an action-horror prop hunt game.
Fntastic took “full responsibility” for the failures associated with The Day Before–which ranged from misleading marketing, severe technical issues at launch, and accusations of scamming players–and co…

Germany full-back Philipp Lahm has once again endorsed his credentials on the big stage after impressive displays at Euro 2008.ÂÂ
The Bayern Munich star, playing in his third major tournament, has been a rock at the back for the Germans and his flexibility has proved invaluable to Joachim Low.
Lahm burst onto the international scene at Euro 2004 and he was nominated for FIFA World Player of the Year after his success at the 2006 World Cup.ÂÂ
The 24-year-old has been employed at left-back and right-back this time around in Austria and Switzerland and he has used his blistering pace to great effect in support of a midfield which has lacked natural width.ÂÂ

Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Phil Foden s performance in Manchester City s 0-0 Champions League draw at Porto.
City were frustrated by their dogged hosts at Estadio do Dragao, with Gabriel Jesus having a goal ruled out for a VAR offside against Joao Cancelo 10 minutes from time.

Foden has started four successive Champions League matches, although the England midfielder has been a substitute for City s past five domestic outings.
Speaking to BT Sport, Guardiola seemed to acknowledge the growing clamour for the 20-year-old to become a permanent fixture in his first XI, irrespective of the opponents or competition.
What a player, what a playe…
Ten-man Barcelona battled to a nervy 1-0 win over strugglers Valencia at Camp Nou to move 10 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga.
Barca suffered a shock loss to Almeria in their last league game, prior to beating Madrid in Thursday s Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, and were made to work hard by Valencia.
Raphinha put the hosts ahead early on but Ronald Araujo s 59th-minute red card, shortly after Ferran Torres missed a penalty, set up a nervier-than-expected final half an hour.
Valencia had good chances either side of Araujo s dismissal, but they failed to test Marc-Andre ter Stegen and remain two points from safety in the relegation zone.

Coutinho is a very good player and if he ends up signing for Barcelona, he will succeed easily, …
Burnley have completed the signing of Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin N Koudou on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old has only played once in the Premier League for Spurs in 2017-18, although he scored in his last appearance for the club against APOEL in the Champions League in December.
The Frenchman has now chosen to spend the rest of the campaign at Turf Moor, having spoken with Spurs team-mate Kieran Trippier – who spent three years in Lancashire – before deciding on the move.
