BioWare does like to release good news right on the heels of not-so-good news, so I'm leaning towards this being legit.  Personally, I'm hoping for a high-end TV series (if he can juggle the schedule with the Witcher), but a movie (series) would be fine as well. That would explain why they delayed the bad news on Anthem until today.

Didn't he step away from that role? No. If I recall, he made a statement "the suit is still in the closet", meaning he is ready to put it on, at a moment's notice. The role has not been recast. Since DC is going into their "multiverse" with Flashpoint and Keaton returning, Batfleck returning etc. I'd not write Henry off and, honestly, even WB would know right now that Henry is a huge asset to their cinematic universe.

Tali Zorah for the next ME game? No. It's definitely movie related. I wouldn't give anything on Tali being named on that piece of paper. That's likely just the hint it's Mass Effect related, while he doesn't want to give anything away on what he is really up to. If he had a page of something new in that picture, no one would notice anyway what it is, right? Yeah, the text he's reading is from a ME wiki entry: "Following the events on Tuchanka and a failed coup by Cerberus to take over the Citadel, the quarians offer their support to the Alliance if Shepard helps them reclaim their homeworld, Rannoch, from the geth. Assisted by a quarian, either Tali'Zorah or Admiral Daro'Xen, Shepard boards a geth dreadnought and rescues a captive geth unit, either Legion or a facsimile occupied by a geth virtual intelligence (VI), then disables the Reaper control signal over the geth."So yeah, nothing that would be too spoilery.

Appreciate the concern though. Though I would feel the same about this news regardless of my spirits, since the only movie based off an actual game (so ones like Wreck-It Ralph don’t count) that was received well is...Sonic?

I'd argue it'd be wiser to, for Bioware, but I wouldn't swear it off. No, I don't have info on it.

I have no faith that Ryder will be returning, or even that MEA will be in any way connected to ME5. Any tweets hinting that are purely to keep MEA fans strung along to get their money.

I would certainly be interested in a tv show/movie on ME, provided that they’d put a good aumont of work on it and not something cheap. I don’t personally care if the show would go in a direction, in terms of choices, different then my canon, but I can understand the problems with that for some, as well as concerns of the show turning out to be bad, as it happened for other adaptions.
Cavill’s presence is somehow reassuring given his love/passion for games. I’d say he wouldn’t a perfect Shepard, given that he’s too bulky compared to the latter, but I get why they’d have gone for him.

I have no interest in a live action “Action Mode” version of the story I already played. If real, however, the writers are gonna have their work cut out for them to make it workable for any non-game media, because Mass Effect’s story’s a fucking mess. Im just waiting for all the “This is canon since they did it for the movie/show” arguments that will happen. Yeah, if 600 years in the future all we know is liara is alive is too much canon for some, a here is Shepard and this is what he did will piss people off. Honestly, while the canon part is not that big of a issue to me, I think video game movies are just almost always terrible. Though I did enjoy the WoW movie, though I never got obsessed with the lore there so maybe that is why it was fine for me. Still I think something like a movie would just damage the franchise.
If not a movie, cerberus, tali? what...

Even if they’d try to leave most of the plot in the dark, it’ll be clear if there are any connections to MEA, or not, from the trailers, either by the presence of connections, or their absence. I do think there’s some chances for Ryder to be back, although what I think will be the most likely outcome is that NME will end up disappointing both the Shepard and Ryder crowds.

It is quite likely. Frankly, that teaser has no reason existing, because it says nothing, points to nothing and we won't learn anything substantial about it, till after DA4 releases. But don't worry, we'll get another teaser in the 2023 VGAs, that will also show nothing.

If this show or movie takes place outside of the games, for example First Contact War or elsewhere in the galaxy during the games, then it could possibly be okay.
So long as they don’t attach lore you need to know to it.

By then I imagine they’ll be hoping people will be distracted by the new shiny things. You know, like how they’ve been doing DA4 so far. Agree it will most likely be disappointing to both camps.

And the latter already saw a drop of interest, if you compare the initial teaser and the last year’s one. Not that they can’t bounce things up with substantial trailers, but it’s not a good marketing strategy, in my opinion.

Is anyone going to argue that Bioware is still the same strong brand name it was 10 years ago?

I meant strictly in regards of the protagonist’s choice. Being disappointed by a new protagonist doesn’t mean the game won’t be interesting to them, or at least to a part of them. And there are people that want a new protagonist. I think the reaction will be more negative from the Shepard crowd, because the trailer gave a clear impression on the protagonist, whether it’s true or not.

Is anyone going to argue that Bioware is still the same strong brand name it was 10 years ago? My point is that releasing a teaser for a game and not showing it again for two-three years, is dumb. While the initial reaction might be positive, as it was for NME, it’ll turn to negativity once months pass. I don’t see how they remain relevant this way.
