The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been released, giving fans a great look at Michael Mando – known for his role in Better Call Saul – as the villain Scorpion (Mac Gargan). Scorpion appeared in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 1 with a different costume, but we’ll discuss that another time.
Key Whimsical Observations:
According to industry insider Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic podcast, Odessa A’zion is a potential candidate to play Rogue in the new X-Men movie. However, Marvel Studios hasn’t officially confirmed anything, so this is currently just rumor and speculation.
The tale of the crypto market here moves with surprising vigor, and the authorities speak of safety and transparency as if they were old friends depositing a future into a well-kept bank. The aim, it seems, is to curb the unruly vigor of unregulated foreign platforms, as one might curb a restless horse with a prudent touch of the whip and a calm voice.
Brad Winderbaum, who leads streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, doesn’t believe Spider-Man is the greatest superhero of all time.
As a huge Daredevil fan, I was really hooked by Season 2, specifically Episode 2 of Born Again. With New York under Martial Law and Matt Murdock laying low, it made total sense that Mayor Fisk would try to expose Daredevil’s secret identity. His advisor, Buck Cashman, really pushed for it – basically, go public and tell everyone Matt Murdock is Daredevil. It felt like a smart, if ruthless, move to turn public opinion against him and finally take Daredevil down.
The major financial institutions, those bastions of gravitas, have each published their own estimates for the growth of tokenized assets. JPMorgan, ever the optimist, projects up to $13 trillion in tokenized real world assets by 2030. Standard Chartered, not to be outdone, expects the market to exceed $30 trillion. McKinsey, the voice of reason, estimates a more modest $2 to $4 trillion, while Deutsche Bank falls somewhere in between with $2 to $3 trillion. These are the institutions, mind you, that move sovereign capital-not some starry-eyed crypto VCs.
You can read the full statement below:
Bitcoin pulled back to $71,843 on Friday after a third attempt to breach $73,000 was met with selling on Thursday, a level that has now rejected the price on every rally since the Iran conflict began in late February.
Daodu’s latest epistle comes after Bitcoin ran headlong into resistance, just above the lofty $72,000 mark. And while the market has managed to churn out its first consecutive quarterly losses since 2022 (nothing to see here, folks), Daodu assures us that April could still offer a reprieve for the beleaguered crypto.
