Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Paul Rudd says that Scott Lang is not quite as famous as Leonardo DiCaprio. At CCXP, the actor spoke to Hype Omelette about the explosive opening to Phase 5 of the MCU.

Overwatch 2 is making some big changes to a fairly underplayed character, though what exactly these changes are have not been detailed. OW2 boasts a substantial roster. Any time a game has a big roster of characters there is inevitably characters that get little to no play whether because of the current meta or simply because they are in desperate need of a buff. One character in Overwatch 2 that definitely fits the latter category is Junker Queen....

In fact, the marketing for the final season has leaned into the fact that there won’t be anymore Animaniacs. (Joking about how many times they can get canceled is bold with some series getting shelved while already in the can!...

DC Comics’ film franchise has been having a rough go of it since they began their cinematic universe with 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
