Avengers: Doomsday Rumor Hints at Fantastic Four Earth's Surprising Fate
According to renowned entertainment scooper Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is presently shooting new sequences involving the Fantastic Four, with their version of the planet being the venue for these scenes.
In his latest X (formerly Twitter) update, Richtman noted, 'They are currently filming scenes taking place on F4's Earth like a baseball game.' While the popular insider failed to specify the purpose that these sequences could serve, the timing of the rumor suggests that these scenes could end up being used in 2026's Avengers: Doomsday.
Given that The Fantastic Four: First Steps comes out in theaters in less than three weeks, it seems highly improbable that Marvel would sanction reshoots for the film at this hour. As such, the popular theory is that the snippets, featuring the Fantastic Four on their own Earth, will see the light of day in Avengers: Doomsday, provided that Richtman's rumor comes out to be accurate. This indicates that the version of Earth, showcased in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, would ultimately survive the events of the film, in sharp contrast to the common notion.
While Marvel Studios has yet to make a comment on it, fans can find out about the fate of the Fantastic Four's world for themselves when the movie premieres in theatres on July 25, 2025.

Tony Khan better not screw up AEW's most important booking decision of the year
All Elite Wrestling returns to pay-per-view today (July 12) with All In Texas. The show comes our way from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The free Zero Hour pre-show kicks things off starting at 1 pm ET on All Elite's YouTube channel and right here at Cageside Seats. That leads right into the PPV at 3 pm ET, which you can buy from Amazon, and YouTube in the United States, as well as on traditional PPV. Internationally, it may be available via those providers, or you can try Triller TV. Advertisement Tony Khan better not screw up AEW's most important booking decision of the year The main event of All In Texas is AEW World Champion Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page in a Texas Death match. Hangman earned this title match by defeating Will Ospreay to win the Owen Hart tournament at Double or Nothing. Moxley has been the world champ since last October, which is around the same time that his Death Riders took over AEW. He put the belt in a briefcase for Marina Shafir to carry around, and we haven't seen the gold since. Hangman has been portrayed as AEW's main character, so it's only fitting that he's the man who will try to free the world title from that briefcase and hold it up for the world to see at AEW's biggest show of the year. A big part of the story here revolves around Hangman's relationship with Swerve Strickland. They recently sat down to try to let go of their complicated past, which includes home invasion and arson. Both men expressed regrets about their actions in a compelling scene, which Moxley called out as weak 'crybaby crap.' Jon says he won't have any regrets or apologies for the terrible things he does to Hangman during this Texas Death match. Advertisement There are no disqualifications in this kind of match, and the stage has been set for all kinds of interference. That may come in the form of Darby Allin, Will Ospreay, the Death Riders, Sting, and even Bryan Danielson. However, the key figure in all of this will be Swerve. Hangman left behind his chain in Swerve's locker room after their talk was over, and Swerve wrapped that chain around his fist while lost in thought. Will Strickland show up to actually help his hated rival win the AEW world title, or will he be there to fuck him over at the most critical time? That's one of the big questions that needs to be answered at All In Texas. Moxley's world title reign was something of a disaster in its first few months, with underwhelming finishes to his PPV matches, too much attempted murder via plastic bags and toxic chemicals, and poor storytelling as AEW's inept babyfaces couldn't get their shit together to pose a formidable threat to the Death Riders. But the tide has changed over the last few months as the story has focused on Hangman, Ospreay, Swerve, and the Young Bucks. After sitting through months of Moxley's reign of terror, AEW fans are ready for something incredible to happen at the end of All In Texas. With that in mind, Tony Khan has to make AEW's most important booking decision of the year at All In Texas, and he needs to make sure it's the right one. AEW finally has some good momentum going its way after a rough 2024, but that can change fast if today's main event leaves fans with another bad taste in their mouths courtesy of the Death Riders. Tune into All In Texas to see what choice Swerve Strickland makes in the main event, and if it's finally time to free the AEW world title from Jon Moxley's briefcase. Advertisement The rest of the card These remaining 11 matches and segments are also currently advertised for today at All In Texas: 'Timeless' Toni Storm (c) vs. Mercedes Mone for the AEW women's world championship Storm vs. Mone is the biggest women's match in AEW history. Toni is arguably the number one star in the company, with a special gimmick that is unlike anything else in pro wrestling. Mercedes is the undefeated TBS champion who has been busy collecting belts from around the world ever since she joined AEW in early 2024. Toni's goal is to rip Mercedes' tits off and prove that she just can't win the big one. Which women's star is truly the best in AEW? We'll find out at All In Texas. Advertisement AEW International Champion Kenny Omega vs. AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada in a winner-takes-all match for the AEW Unified Championship Omega and Okada bring their storied rivalry to AEW pay-per-view in a match where the winner walks out with three belts, because consolidating belts isn't a thing Tony Khan likes to do. Can Omega and Okada rekindle their old magic one more time at AEW's biggest event of the year? Okada joined up with Don Callis for this one and put Omega in the hospital by targeting his diverticulitis. That brought Kenny's golden lover Kota Ibushi back to AEW to fight on his behalf. Omega is out of the hospital now and ready to finally end Okada's reign as Continental champion, which is approaching 500 days in length. Is this a match where each star will kick out of the other's finishing move multiple times, or will one Rainmaker or One-Winged Angel be enough to score a three count? Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland vs. Young Bucks This could very well be the match of the night just looking at how skilled all four men are, and you know this bout will get all the time it needs. The stakes are high, as Matthew and Nicholas Jackson will lose their status as EVPs of AEW if they don't win, while Ospreay and Swerve can't challenge for the world title for one full year if they don't win. Ospreay has already gone more than one year without challenging for the world title, but I'm not sure if he realizes that. It's worth noting that Jack Perry has been seen backstage at recent AEW tapings, so perhaps he's ready to return and help The Elite win. Advertisement The Bucks, Ospreay, and Swerve may all show up again later in the night to interfere in the main event. Does the outcome of this match affect the decision Swerve might have to make about helping his hated rival Hangman Page? Men's Casino Gauntlet match This might just be AEW's most entertaining gimmick match. Two wrestlers start the gauntlet, with new entrants joining the fray at irregular intervals. The match ends as soon as the first fall is scored, so there is no guarantee that some wrestlers will even make it into the ring if their number is too far down the list. Mark Briscoe and MJF are the first two entrants, and Mark is looking to whoop Max's ass after he recently tried to get heat by bringing up his dead brother Jay. CMLL's top star Mistico is also in the mix, and he has a score to settle with MJF as well. Some other wrestlers who will be ready to join this match include Ricochet, Bandido, and Brody King. Keep your eye out for surprise entrants like Darby Allin, Keith Lee, or Eddie Kingston. The winner of this match earns a world title match whenever he wants it. Advertisement Women's Casino Gauntlet match This is the only women's match at All In Texas besides Toni vs. Mercedes, so pretty much everyone else on the AEW women's roster might show up here if the match goes long enough. Kris Statlander and Megan Bayne kick off the action as the first two entrants. Some of the other wrestlers who have been featured in the build up include Thekla, Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale, Athena, Thunder Rosa, Tay Melo, Anna Jay, Julia Hart, and Mina Shirakawa. Is there any chance that missing stars like Britt Baker or Hikaru Shida make their surprise return in this one? Just like with the men, the winner earns a world title match at any time of her choosing. Hurt Syndicate (c) vs. JetSpeed vs. The Patriarchy for the AEW world tag team championship Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin steamroll through most of their challengers without much trouble, but they walk into this title defense banged up after Christian Cage repeatedly smashed Bob's knee in with a chair on Dynamite. The idea is to create some doubt about the outcome of this match, but I'd say MVP's group is still the overwhelming favorite to retain the gold. Advertisement The Opps vs. Death Riders & Gabe Kidd for the AEW world trios championship PAC is out of action with an injury, so Gabe Kidd is joining up Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as they try to win back the trios titles from Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata. Is HOOK ready to return to AEW and play a role in the finish of this title match? Adam Cole (c) vs. Kyle Fletcher for the TNT championship I don't blame anyone who has a hard time remembering that Adam Cole is the current TNT champion. Meanwhile, the Don Callis Family is still trying to recruit former champ Daniel Garcia to turn his back on Paragon and join up with them. Kyle Fletcher might not need any help to win this match given he already has a PPV win over Will Ospreay. Advertisement The Outrunners vs. FTR (pre-show) FTR and The Outrunners used to work out and train together, but that was before Big Stoke entered the picture. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have since turned on Adam Copeland and now try to spike piledrive anybody who has a bad thing to say about them. They already picked up a win over Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum earlier this month on Collision. However, the rematch was made official after Dax took the fall in one of AEW's never-ending series of All-Star 8-man tag team matches. Big Boom AJ & The Conglomeration vs. Don Callis Family (pre-show) AEW is Where The Best Wrestle, so the Costco Guy is back for another match. This time he's teaming up with Hologram, Kyle O'Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii to take on Lance Archer, Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, and Hechicero. Hologram remains undefeated nearly one year after his AEW debut, so you already know which team is going over. Advertisement The Sons of Texas vs. Shane Taylor Promotions (pre-show) You can't run the biggest show of the year in Texas without including the Von Erichs and Dustin Rhodes, right? Shane Taylor Promotions lose nearly every match they have on AEW programming, and it sure looks like they are here to do the job as well. Summary The top four matches at All In Texas carry most of the intrigue and could deliver some of the best wrestling matches of the year. The booking decisions on Hangman vs. Moxley, Mercedes vs. Toni Storm, and the Young Bucks vs. Ospreay & Swerve will go a long way towards shaping AEW's creative direction for the rest of 2025. Can Tony Khan keep AEW's positive momentum going by nailing the booking on his biggest show of the year? Advertisement What will you be looking for at All In Texas? More from

What's at the center of a black hole? Scientists have a sobering answer
They're the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black holes for decades, but so far it seems they've found more existential questions than answers. We know a black hole is so heavy that its gravity creates a kind of divot in the geometry of the universe, said Priyamvada Natarajan, a theoretical astrophysicist at Yale University. "A black hole is so concentrated that it causes a little deep puncture in space/time. At the end of the puncture you have a thing called a singularity where all known laws of nature break down. Nothing that we know of exists at that point." Nova explosion 'star' over Ohio? Why NASA is excited about T Coronae Borealis Understanding what science knows about black holes involves mysterious little red dots, the formation of galaxies, and spaghettification (the unpleasant thought experiment about what would happen to a person unlucky enough to be sucked into a black hole). First, the good news: Black holes aren't out to get us. They aren't whizzing around the universe looking for galaxies, suns and planets to devour. "They don't just sneak up to you in a dark alley," said Lloyd Knox, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Davis. But our understanding of the very fundamentals of the universe has been transformed over the past decade by new telescopes and sensors that are letting scientists see more black holes and at every stage of their lives. What to know about observatory: James Webb Space Telescope marks 3rd anniversary "Our understanding of the role black holes play, that they are an essential part of the formation of galaxies, is new," said Natarajan. Here what cosmic secrets are being revealed: The original understanding of how black holes formed was that when a sufficiently large sun (about 10 times or more massive than our Sun) reached the end of its life, it could explode into a supernova that then collapses back into a black hole. The matter can collapse down into something only a few miles across, becoming so dense that its gravity is strong enough that nothing, not even light, can escape. This is what is called a stellar mass black hole. But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they form. Called supermassive black holes, they have been found at the center of pretty much every galaxy and are a hundred thousand to billion times the mass of our Sun. But how did they form? "The original idea was that small black holes formed and then they grew," said Natarajan. "But then there's a timing crunch to explain the monsters seen in the early universe. Even if they're gobbling down stellar gas, did they have the time to get so big? That was an open question even 20 years ago." In 2017, she theorized that these supermassive black holes from the early beginnings of the universe happened when galactic gas clouds collapsed directly in on themselves, skipping the star stage entirely and going straight from gas to a massive black hole seed, with a head start, that could then grow. "Then guess what? In 2023 the James Webb telescope found these objects," she said. "This is what a scientist lives for, to make a prediction and see it proven." Because they have such massive gravity, black holes gobble up stellar gases and anything else that gets too close to them. But it's not an endless process that ends up with the entire universe being sucked into them. People sometimes worry that black holes are these huge vacuum cleaners that draw in everything in sight. "It's not like a whirlpool dragging everything into it," said Knox. Black holes are really like any other concentration of mass, whether it's a sun or a planet. They have their own gravitational pull but it isn't infinite. "If you're far enough away, you'd just feel the gravitational force, just the way you'd feel it from a planet," said Brenna Mockler, a post-doctoral fellow at the Carnegie Observatories at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Pasadena, California. All matter causes a dip or pothole in space/time, said Natarajan. A black hole is so heavy that its gravity creates a kind of divot in the geometry of the universe. "The bigger the mass, the bigger the pothole," she said. Where that puncture leads is unknown. "It's an open question," said Natarajan. "We don't think it could be another universe, because we don't know where in our universe it could go. But we don't know." So what if a human being fell into a black hole? Astrophysicists have a word for it – spaghettification. "If you were to fall head first into a black hole, the difference in gravity between your head and your toes would be so intense that you'd be stretched out and spaghettified," Natarajan said. There's no fear that our own Sun will become a black hole, said Knox. It's not big enough. "Lower mass stars burn through their hydrogen to make helium and then they'll start burning helium into carbon. And then at some point it ends up just pushing itself all apart," he said. "Our Sun will eventually expand and envelop the Earth and destroy it – but that's in 5 billion years, so you have some time to get ready. But it won't become a black hole." NASA's super powerful James Webb Space Telescope began its scientific mission in 2022 and almost immediately picked up something that so far no one can explain: small red objects that appear to be abundant in the cosmos. Dubbed "little red dots," these objects have perplexed astronomers. They could be very, very dense, highly star-forming galaxies. "Or they could be highly accreting supermassive black holes from the very early universe," said Mockler, who is an incoming professor at the University of California, Davis.

Mr. Met's stage presence needs work after Lumineers concert blunder
Mr. Met did not have a great Friday night while joining The Lumineers onstage for the band's concert at Citi Field. While trying to join in with the band on tambourine, Mr. Met whiffed catching said tambourine and then promptly fell off the stage while playing said tambourine before climbing back on the stage to try again. This was just a nightmare sequence for Mr. Met, as nobody wants to embarrass themselves in front of thousands of people. We appreciate the mascot's willingness to hop right back on the stage to give it another go, but this clip is going to follow Mr. Met around for the rest of the MLB season. Rough night for Mr. Met at the Lumineers concert — Fin (@jessefinver) July 12, 2025 Don't be shocked when other MLB teams play this blooper on the Jumbotron when the Mets come to town for the rest of the season.
