One Destiny 2 fan has figured out the rate of fire for the new Tommy’s Matchbook weapon by timing it to the background music of the game’s latest Season of the Worthy trailer. This player went on to post his theory on Destiny 2’s Reddit page shortly after the trailer hit the internet yesterday, leading to much speculation and joking around among the game’s community. Said trailer showcases Destiny 2’s tenth DLC expansion pack, or “season” as the game calls them, which promises a wealth of new content for Bungie and Activision’s free-to-play, online multiplayer sci-fi FPS....

After an extended development period, Disney’s Jungle Cruise is now pulling together its cast pretty quickly, with Breaking Bad alum Jesse Plemons being the latest actor to step aboard. According to reports, he will be playing a villain out to stop Dwayne Johnson’s Indiana Jones-type quest in this upcoming adventure film based on the theme park attraction. The film was originally inspired by the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and was tapped to have Toy Story‘s Tom Hanks and Tim Allen star at one point....

Zack Snyder’s divisive 2009 Watchmen film has a major fan in Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson, who calls the film’s Ultimate Cut his favorite comic book movie of all time. Before Snyder’s polarizing DCEU films Man of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice hit the big screen, he tackled an adaptation of Watchmen, a 1986 limited series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Long considered one of the very best comic book stories of all time, turning Watchmen into a film was considered to be a fool’s errand; its thematic and structural complexities weren’t made for movies....

Disney Parks unveiled a sneak peek at the upcoming Toy Story Land that will be unveiled at the company’s Hollywood Studios park on June 30 of this year. The photos reveal a family-style roller coaster, kiddie rides, new merchandise, and costume characters that will be present in the park.

Sony’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse introduces the world to different versions of Spider-Man, including Miles Morales, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Gwen, and more. But when it comes to the wildest versions of the Spider hero spanning the multiverse, Into The Spider-Verse doesn’t even scratch the surface. The main universe of Marvel Comics canon is home to the most familiar versions of Peter Parker, Tony Stark, and the rest of the Avengers. But as moviegoers are now learning, this universe and its Earth are just one of an infinite number, with infinite realities, containing infinite re-imaginings of Spider-Man....

Update: Black Panther has made $1.078 billion as of Sunday, March 11. Marvel’s Black Panther has now crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office. Directed by Ryan Coogler from a script by Coogler and screenwriter Joe Robert Cole, Black Panther stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa, aka Black Panther, and Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger, with several others rounding out the supporting cast. The film spent 24 years stuck in development hell, but it seems every one of those years was well worth the wait....

Jeremy Irvine and Brian J. Smith have joined the cast of the Bourne spinoff series called Treadstone. The Bourne spinoff was ordered at USA Network back in August, but they didn’t give an exact date the show would premiere. The program will center on the CIA black ops program Operation Treadstone, while following different sleeper agents who “awaken” much like Jason Bourne did in The Bourne Identity. Treadstone will be written and executive produced by Tim King, who is known for his work on Heroes....

A possible sequel to supervillain horror movie Brightburn is being talked about, according to producer James Gunn. Released in May, the film received mixed reactions from both audiences and critics, but a worldwide box office haul of $31.3 million against a budget of only $6 million makes it a decent-sized financial success. The story of Brightburn was a riff on the origin of Superman, with a spaceship carrying an alien infant crash landing on a Kansas farm, and the baby subsequently being raised by a childless couple....

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has a cast of lovable, quirky and funny characters that we just love spending time with. One of them is the nervous, clumsy, and food-obsessed Detective Charles Boyle. Boyle’s most defining characteristic is his tendency to blurt out whatever comes to his mind, oftentimes not realizing how wrong it will sounds. And rarely does he figure it out on his own even once the words are out. Over the course of six seasons, we’ve heard tons of inappropriate Boylers that never cease to make us laugh....

Developer Bungie has once again found itself in the position of having to apologize to Destiny 2 gamers. The issue, this time at least, revolves around the game’s latest expansion The Curse of Osiris and the way that the game has dealt with access to certain content. Although the release of the new expansion should be a source of excitement, Curse of Osiris has been heavily criticized. The main point of contention is that with the release of The Curse of Osiris, Destiny 2 has now locked some of the content for players, particularly one of the end-game raids....

When Captain America made his debut in Marvel Comics in 1941, could creators Joe Simon and Jack Kirby have known what an icon he would become? Many writers and artists have taken on the character over the last 70 years, making him one of Marvel’s most well known creations. When the character debuted, Steve Rogers went from a mild mannered man looking to join the army to the subject of a super soldier experiment....

DC Comics president Geoff Johns says that there are no plans to turn Superman into a Nazi. When it comes to superheroes, there are arguably none more readily identified with America than Superman. As Superman’s vintage motto attests, Superman fights for truth, justice, and the American way, at least when he’s fighting for the side of good. As with any long-running comic character, Superman has turned evil a few times, but his standard characterization remains that of the moral freedom fighter....

NOTE: This article contains spoilers for Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #6 - It’s gotta feel good to be the main man. His introduction into the world of DC Comics may have been as a simple villain, an alien bounty hunter who was essentially un-killable, but the years since have turned Lobo into a certifiable legend. An anti-hero, space biker willing to take on almost any job for the right price, and likely to do it with as much blood and gore being spilled as possible (most of it, his own)....

Every year, multitudes of people gather on a special Sunday night to watch the conclusion of the NFL season, the Super Bowl. The game has turned into a special event equating to a holiday for some thanks to the importance of the game, but for many, they are more interested in the commercials than the game itself. This has resulted in an incredible rise in marketing prices and creativity used for the Super Bowl, seen by many companies as an avenue to market anything to any demographic....

“What I am going to do with my life?” That seems to be an implicit refrain in both of HBO’s new comedies, Divorce and Insecure. The hour-long block of (somewhat) lighter fare airs right after Westworld, as the premium channel’s latest effort to add another set of mirth-makers to its ever-expanding library of exclusive content. One series features a return to television for one of HBO’s biggest stars, Sarah Jessica Parker, while the other aims to introduce audiences to Issa Rae, an exciting and talented performer best known for her webseries The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl....
