Keen on getting a piece of that Disney: Infinite/Skylanders/Nintendo Amiibo action, Lego has just announced Lego Dimensions, another collectible figure video game that merges several licenses into one universe-hopping adventure. Sadly, it doesn't look like we'll be getting Star Wars or Marvel characters in the game for legal reasons, but we'll clearly be seeing familiar faces from The Wizard of Oz, DC Comics, Back to the Future, The Lord of the Rings and Ghostbusters. Oh, and naturally, folks from The Lego Movie will play into this pretty heavily.
The Lego Dimensions Starter Pack retails for $99.99 on current-gen consoles, and comes with Gandalf, Batman and The Lego Movie's Wyldstyle, along with a Batmobile vehicle. Additional figures will come packed with DLC, following the model established by similar games in this genre.
Joel McHale stars in the trailer, which you can watch below.

A Perfect Storm of Marvel Promo Images
Wow, and here I thought it was a slow week. Just today we got first looks at how four Marvel characters will look in live-action in the very near future.
First up, Marvel Entertainment has posted Daredevil's red suit in his Netflix-exclusive series, which drops tomorrow:
But that's not all! We've only gotten glimpses of Paul Bettany's Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but today we got a full-on poster of the avenging android, sparking much speculation about his role in the film as its May 1 release date approaches:
Meanwhile, the folks at Fox are keen on reminding us that they, too, have Marvel franchises, releasing this image of The Thing from this summer's Fantastic Four reboot:
Finally, Fox has also released, via Empire.com, this concept art showing Ben Hardy as Archangel in next summer's X-Men: Apocalypse:
Not a bad day to geek out, eh?

'Return of the Jedi' Sequel Novel Announced
Do you want to find out what really happened after Return of the Jedi?
In addition to the previously announced Star Wars: Shattered Empire Marvel comic book event, Star Wars: Aftermath will kick off a new book trilogy bridging the gap between the Original Trilogy and The Force Awakens, which hits U.S. theaters Dec. 18.
The Del Rey novel, written by Chuck Wendig, is part of Disney's "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens" program, and picks up shortly after The Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star. This is the first post-Jedi novel in Disney's new canon, so if you're a Star Wars geek, you might want to pick this up when it arrives on Sept. 4. If not, why the heck are you even here?
