In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk already have successors or legacy heroes. However, Thor is yet to find someone who can fill his shoes when he eventually departs. This lack of a worthy replacement for Thor might pose a challenge for Marvel in the future, as Chris Hemsworth’s contract with the MCU may expire following “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” Although several potential candidates have been introduced within the MCU, none have been adequately developed to assume the mantle of the God of Thunder.

Pre-orders for the common figures can be placed at Entertainment Earth, with Amazon set to carry them soon.

In 2026, the big screen will introduce Jon Bernthal’s Punisher for the first time, as he appears in the fourth Spider-Man film. The specifics of his role in “Brand New Day” are yet unknown, but it’s certain that there will be a clash of principles between the anti-hero and Spider-Man, who refrains from taking lives. However, there is one significant comic book moment that unites these characters, and the MCU has all the components required to bring this adaptation to life.

On June 24th, a fresh Nature’s Calling Live Event has been introduced in The Sims 4. However, there’s more to get excited about for Sims enthusiasts! A free game update is planned for July 1st, enriching the game with new functionalities and bug corrections. This update may pave the way for the upcoming expansion pack, Enchanted By Nature, set to release on July 10th. Besides introducing new content, it will also address several persistent problems, such as the annoying indoor rain issue.

Back in February, Hasbro and Legendary unveiled plans to adapt Magic: The Gathering for both TV and movies, aiming to establish a shared universe. This popular trading card game, known as the first of its kind and one of the most successful by various standards, is published by Wizards of the Coast. It has frequently intertwined with their Dungeons & Dragons franchise, as well as other fantasy properties. As it has developed unique themes over time, these may prove ideal for a screen adaptation.

According to reports by Pokemon Alerts & News on Twitter, it appears that Costco is experimenting with a queue system on their website. Whether this is due to increased demand for Pokemon cards remains unconfirmed, but given their history of selling out quickly when offering card bundles, it’s plausible speculation. The queue system seems unlikely to be for anything other than managing the high demand for Pokemon cards, although without a restock, we can’t say for certain.

The expectation hasn’t been met, as a significant portion of the PS3 library on PS Plus Premium appears to be a repetition of what was available on PS Now previously, and there have been limited new additions since its launch. In reality, the initial Resistance games were added to the service, only to be taken off again within barely half a year. This situation leaves fans of Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots with minimal optimism that their cherished titles will ever be saved.

The Swiss-made C-3604 is an advanced version of a combat aircraft designed for ground attacks, boasting a more potent engine – the Hispano-Suiza HS-51-12Y.

As reported by What’s On Netflix, this removal represents approximately 20% of the total games offered on Netflix Games. For a complete list of the games being taken offline, please see below.

It might come as a surprise to some that Nintendo is mentioned in the lengthy credits of Death Stranding 2.
