Marvel fans on Reddit better keep their wits about them. Iman Vellani, star of Disney+’s Ms. Marvel, revealed in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she takes to Reddit to discuss fan theories with fans of the show.

“I’m not present on social media publicly, but I do have a lot of private accounts, especially on Reddit,” Vellani, who plays Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, told Meyers. “Just, like, arguing with people about theories, I’m like ‘You don’t even know what’s coming, man! You’re so wrong!’ It’s so liberating.”

As a huge fan of the MCU, it makes sense Vellani would take to the internet to see what people are saying about the show, its narrative, and her character. Just be careful as the person you might be arguing fan theories with might actually know a lot more than you.

She also revealed during the interview how she had to stay cool and keep her casting under wraps after a zoom call while sitting in her friend’s driveway. That moment even appears to be featured in the show’s teaser trailer.

Earlier this year, the full trailer for the series was released, and it gave us a look at some of the key differences from the comic. The series’s first season is now out in its entirety. We gave the first season an 8/10 in our review and said that “Vellani lights up the screen as the newest addition to the MCU” and “greatly [balances] a coming-of-age and superhero origin story.”

During the testing phase for MultiVersus, the new platform fighter from Warner Bros., players were subject to regular progress resets. However, alongside yesterday's open beta release, the game won’t have any more resets, allowing players to keep their progress forever.

As pointed out by PC Gamer, in an announcement on the MultiVersus Discord server, Warner Bros. social and community director Nikki Grantham explained how progression will work going forward. “If you played during the Early Access period, all of your progression to ALL of the characters you played during 7/19 – 7/25 is saved (yay!),” Grantham said.

“So, no worries if you can't unlock all of the characters you played before, you'll keep and resume your progress once they're in the free rotation or if you unlock 'em," Grantham added.

Alongside this announcement, Grantham also discussed the game’s new character rotation system, which gives players a small roster of free characters that swap out every two weeks.

“Character progression you earn with these characters beginning from Early Access this timeframe will be SAVED so when they're back in rotation (or if you unlock them with in-game Gold) you'll be able to continue right where you left off,” Grantham said.

MultiVersus went into open beta yesterday and had an absolutely massive launch, reaching over 144,000 concurrent players. The appeal being able to play as one of WB's surprisingly vast and varied library of characters including Batman, Shaggy, Arya Stark, and more.

MultiVersus is a new platform fighter, similar to games like Super Smash Bros. IGN gave the new fighter an 8 in our review, saying while it might need time to grow its limited roster, “its foundations are already rock solid.”

Spoiler Warning: This article contains potential spoilers for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Ahead of the release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, new Spider-Verse toys have been appearing on the shelves of Target stores. While most of the toys relate to characters that have already been revealed, a few toys in particular seem to confirm the return of Spider-Punk, a Spider-Man variant from the comics.

As many fans took to Twitter to point out, one of the toys is titled "Spider-Punk Web Blast" and depicts the guitar of none other than Spider-Punk. Fans also noticed a Spider-Punk mask, which shows the character’s iconic horn mohawk.

The toys were also shown in a Youtube video posted yesterday.

If these toys really do confirm the return of Spider-Punk, Across the Spider-Verse will mark the character’s first appearance in a movie. Spider-Punk, who is from Earth-138, was known for using both his electric guitar and his web powers as weapons in the comics.

Earlier this year, fans were given a first look at Across the Spider-Verse, the first 15 minutes of which gave glimpses into the lives of characters like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Spider-Man 2099.

While not much else is known about which other Spider-variants might appear in the upcoming film, it’s clear that a lot of work has gone into the production process. Earlier this year, Sony revealed that it’ll have 40 characters, six universes, and the largest crew ever for an animated film.

After facing a delay, the movie will now be out on June 2, 2023.

Some strange things are happening behind the scenes with Stranger Things. In a tweet today from the official account for writers of the hugely popular Netflix show, they went on record to say that “no scenes from previous seasons have ever been cut or re-edited. And they never will be.”

This despite suggestions from showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer that they would be "George Lucas-ing" the show to fix older continuity errors.

The statement from the Stranger Things writers follows rumors that a scene in which Jonathan Byers spies on Nancy was cut — rumors that have since been debunked. They arose from earlier hints by the Duffer Brothers that they had already "George Lucas'd" or digitally edited scenes without fans realizing it.

"We have George Lucas’d things also that people don’t know about," Matt Duffer told Variety back in June.

Fans have since confirmed that the scene is still there, and it's unclear what Duffer is referring to when he says that scenes have been "George Lucas'd."

The Duffer Brothers first suggested they would be making changes to Stranger Things in a separate interview. In it, the duo acknowledged a Season 4 flub where several characters appeared to completely miss Will Byers’ birthday when in fact it was just an oversight on the creators, saying the error was because Will’s birthday had been written six years prior and they simply forgot.

In the interview, Ross Duffer said that in order to fix it, they would “go and George Lucas” the scene from season 2 and change it to “May” since that can fit into Winona Ryder’s mouth as she speaks. It is unconfirmed whether those changes actually took place.

Whatever happens, fans are already looking ahead to Stranger Things Season 5, which will pick up several threads left dangling in season 4. Itwill be the show’s last, but don’t expect it to have quite as long of a run time as Season 4, which was split up into two parts.

In our review, we gave Season 4 Part 2 a 9/10 and said it features “as many thrills as you could hope for, but also quite a few lovely, tender moments between characters we’ve come to care so much about.”
