WIGAN, England — Paul Mullin, the poster boy of a Wrexham team soaring through England's soccer leagues following its takeover by Hollywood celebrities, has left the club to join third-tier Wigan on a season-long loan deal.
'I'm excited for the next part of my story,' Mullin told Wigan's official website on Monday. 'I've scored a lot of goals over the last few years, but more than anything, I give my absolute all for the club that I'm playing for, and I'm going to do that again with Wigan.'

Callina Liang Cast as Chun-Li in Legendary's Live-Action STREET FIGHTER Movie — GeekTyrant
Callina Liang is stepping into one of the most iconic roles in fighting game history. According to Deadline, the rising star of Steven Soderbergh's supernatural thriller Presence has been cast as Chun-Li in Legendary's upcoming live-action Street Fighter film. Chun-Li made her debut back in Street Fighter II in 1991, and quickly became a fan-favorite for her speed, combat style, and her story as an Interpol agent on a mission to take down M. Bison's criminal empire. Liang's addition brings a strong dramatic background to the role. She also appeared in the Apple TV+ series Foundation and the thriller Bad Genius from J.C. Lee. She joins a cast that already includes Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, Walton Goggins, and Orville Peck. Bad Trip director Kitao Sakurai is set to helm the project. There are still no details on the story that the film will tell, but as a longtime fan of the fighting game, it's hard not to be curious and excited about how this might turn out. I'm hoping for the best!
