Silver Surfer & Fantastic Four Get Marvel Legends Action Figures Highlighting Powers
New Marvel Legends action figures of were revealed by Hasbro Pulse recently. Apart from Sue Storm, Human Torch, the Thing, and Mr Fantastic, fans also got a look at the Silver Surfer Marvel Legends action figure. Releasing on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an introduction to Marvel's first family in the MCU. Hasbro Pulse recently held a Marvel Legends fanstream and unveiled the new action figures for The Fantastic Four: First Steps characters. The figures give a clear look at the powers of Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, the Thing, and Human Torch. Additionally, the Silver Surfer action figure was also unveiled, with her cosmic surfboard. The Fantastic Four Marvel Legends action figures appear to be modeled in a way to highlight the powers of the characters. Sue Storm's figurine is paired with a forcefield. On the other hand, Mr. Fantastic, played by Pedro Pascal, has his powers depicted through a stretchy arm on his figurine, while the Human Torch has two action figures dedicated to him. While one figure shows Johnny Storm in his suit with two flame add-ons on his hands, the other one shows the superhero with his whole body on fire. Interestingly, the Thing's figurine is displayed in a comic-accurate way, without a shirt. Although the character sports a turtleneck suit in the movie, in the comics, the Thing appears shirtless most of the time. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hasbro Pulse announced when fans can pre-order these figurines and wrote, 'Revealed during today's #MarvelLegends #Fanstream – the future of #Marvel's First Family has arrived. MarvelLegendSeries Fantastic Four: First Steps wave will be available for pre-order May 30th at 1 pm ET on #HasbroPulse! Each sold separately.'

Why The Last of Us Changed Key Scene in Season 2 Finale
The Last of Us' Season 2 finale featured several shocking deaths. One of the most talked-about scenes from the finale occurred in the aquarium. Ellie holds two of Abby's friends, Owen and a pregnant Mel, at gunpoint. When Owen reaches for a gun, Ellie shoots him dead. However, the bullet also strikes Mel in the neck. A horrified Ellie holds Mel as she and the baby die. Owen and Mel are also killed in the video game. However, there is another death that the show's creators did not include in the The Last of Us Season 2 finale In the game, Ellie first kills Alice the dog upon entering the aquarium. When the video game shifts to Abby's POV, gamers can play as Abby with Alice by her side. Co-showrunner Craig Mazin joked that since he killed dogs in his previous show, Chernobyl, he couldn't do it again for The Last of Us. 'You get one dog-murdering episode a lifetime,' Mazin said in a press conference via GamesRadar+. 'There are two cardinal rules in Hollywood. One, don't spend your own money. Two, don't kill the dog.' The real reason behind eliminating the dog's death revolved around live-action violence and how it comes off much worse than animation. 'We had a situation where a number of horrible things were happening,' Mazin said. 'Plus, because it's live-action, the nature of violence becomes much more graphic. It's more graphic. Because it's not like there's an animation between you and it; it's people. And it's very disturbing.' Co-showrunner Neil Druckmann also noted that the show already had a run of violent scenes, including Ellie's near-lynching on Seraphite Island, Owen's murder, and Mel's death. 'In our conversation, we're like, this is probably one too many,' Druckmann said about cutting Alice's death from the show. The Last of Us Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max.

Mexican band Grupo Firme cancels festival appearance because of US visa issue
Mexican band Grupo Firme cancels festival appearance because of US visa issue The Tijuana-based regional music group is among a growing number of Mexican musicians who have had abrupt visa issues. Show Caption Hide Caption Spotted: Pedro Pascal in economy class on his way to Cannes Actor Pedro Pascal went viral for his comments on U.S. immigration at Cannes Film Festival. The Mexican band Grupo Firme canceled their headlining June 1 performance at a California music festival because the group said their visas were currently in an 'administrative process' to enter the country. The Tijuana-based regional Mexican music group is among a growing number of Mexican musicians who have had abrupt visa issues, sometimes for alleged ties to drug cartels, during the second Trump administration. It wasn't immediately clear what caused visa issues for Grupo Firme to enter the country for their June 1 performance at La Onda Fest, in Napa Valley. The band offered no further details aside from a May 30 post on Instagram Stories. The post said the United States Embassy currently had visas in an 'administrative process' for bandmates and their record label, Music VIP. This made it 'impossible' for them to attend the Mexican music festival. 'We are sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause,' the post said in Spanish. 'We appreciate your understanding and, above all, the love of our fans in the United States.' In an emailed response, the Department of State said visa records are confidential by law, so they couldn't comment on the case. Officials didn't respond to questions about the basis for the visa issue, or about the 'administrative process' the band described. The group said they would share news of their return to the United States when they can make new plans. Mexican singer Julión Álvarez said he had his visa revoked ahead of a sold-out May 24 show at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. In 2017, Álvarez had his visa revoked after being accused of ties to a drug trafficker, though he denied this. He was taken off a list in 2022, and he was in the country as recently as April to perform three sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Earlier this year, the State Department revoked the visas for Los Alegres del Barranco, after the band displayed an image of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho,' at a concert in Mexico in late March. The group had an American tour planned. On X, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau confirmed the department canceled Los Alegres' work and tourist visas for "glorifying" Oseguera Cervantes, who is head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. In 2021, Grupo Firme won a Latin Grammy for best banda album. The group is known for songs such as "Ya Supérame" and "Cada Quién." But in February, the group canceled a festival performance in Mazatlán, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, after being threatened by a suspected drug cartel. The threat reportedly came in the form of a narcomanta – a banner used by drug cartels to communicate messages – displayed on a bridge, as well as a severed human head found nearby, addressed to Grupo Firme. Grupo Firme has sought to distance itself from music known as narcocorridos, or drug ballads, that have gained an international following, coinciding with a global rise in the popularity of regional Mexican music. States in Mexico have sought to ban the subgenre of corridos, or Mexican ballads. In April, Grupo Firme's lead singer, Eduin Caz, said the group doesn't perform narcocorridos. Their music, focused on love and heartbreak, 'has fed us very well,' he said at a press conference. La Onda Fest was set to take place May 31 to June 1, with Grupo Firme slated as the last act on the second day. The festival said Tito Double P, a corridos singer from Sinaloa, would replace Grupo Firme.
