2.
An Unexpected Thing

Cloak & Dagger's Shield Shenanigans

4.
Wolverine's Aerial Annihilator

5.
Star-Lord's Rocket Revamp

6.
Mister Fantastic's Fantastic Flex Fix

7.
Ascender's Altitude Assurance
: Fixed a network instability-related bug that could sometimes abruptly yank wall-climbing heroes back to the ground after reaching the highest point. Now, every climb is as steady and heroic as your soaring ambitions!

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, but with a twist
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for its biggest comeback yet with Avengers: Doomsday, and after months of doubt and speculation, Ryan Reynolds has seemingly confirmed that Deadpool will be making an appearance. The fan-favorite Deadpool actor recently teased fans on social media with a cryptic post - the iconic Avengers' 'A' tagged with a Deadpool-style red graffiti - and the internet is buzzing with excitement. Ryan Reynolds is set to return as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday.(x/@Deelaw_17) The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Ryan Reynolds will be reprising his role in the movie, but his character won't be joining the primary Avengers team. Deadpool's exclusion from the cast reveal MCU unveiled the ambitious cast for Marvel's highly anticipated sequel to Avengers: Endgame in March this year, which includes multiverse regulars like Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, and a surprise appearance by Robert Downey Jr. who, instead of reprising his role as Iron Man, will be playing Doctor Doom. Even veterans from Fox's X-Men franchise such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and James Marsden will appear in the sequel. Amidst the star-studded chaos, one name was left out and fans were quite disappointed with the exclusion. Deadpool did not appear in the stellar cast reveal, which led to confusion among fans, especially because many of the original characters from the X-Men franchise were featured in the latest Deadpool movie, the record-breaking Deadpool & Wolverine. Hence, the exclusion did not make sense. Furthermore, other major characters from the multiverse, like Spider Man and Wolverine, who were expected by fans to play major roles in the upcoming movie's plot, were also absent. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige later hinted that the original cast announcement was far from complete, leaving room for surprise reveals. Deadpool's addition now proves that point, raising speculation that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine could be next. Also Read | All about Dogpool: 'Britain's Ugliest Dog' to Deadpool & Wolverine cast member Why Deadpool's return matters Following Ryan Reynolds' social media teaser, The Hollywood Report has confirmed the snarky mercenary will, in fact, be making a comeback on Doomsday, but not as a part of the primary Avengers team. After Deadpool & Wolverine grossed a staggering $1.3 billion worldwide, it would be absurd if he didn't, making his role essential given the film's focus on universe-bending chaos. Deadpool's personality does not indicate him to be much of a team-player, which aligns with MCU's vision, making him appear as an outsider. Reynolds had also previously joked that Wade Wilson could never be a member of the Avengers or X-Men because that would mean all his dreams were coming true. Deadpool's comeback makes one wonder - but what about Wolverine? Given that both characters were together at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine, it is very likely that Hugh Jackman might be back as the mutant X-Men fighter. Moreover, it is also confirmed that Channing Tatum will be coming back as Gambit. The graffiti symbol shown in the teaser that Reynolds posted on socials, is akin to the logo of the Void's Resistance in Deadpool & Wolverine. This, in addition to the confirmation of Deadpool's return could only mean one thing - the full lineup could be reuniting.

Michael Chiklis says his Fantastic Four films were very underrated
Washington DC [US], August 13 (ANI): Actor Michael Chiklis, who played Ben Grimm / The Thing in 'Fantastic Four' (2005) and 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer' (2007), shared that the films were 'very underrated" and he believes that critics at the time 'got it wrong", according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'There were a lot of people, I think, critically who got it wrong," he said of the 2005 film and its 2007 follow-up Rise of the Silver Surfer.'They really maligned our films, and they were very underrated considering… The audience very loved them. It was one of those cases where critics weren't great to those films, but the audience was, and that still remains," Chiklis he acknowledged the appreciation shown by the audience as opposed to critics, adding, 'And now all these years later, people are sort of acknowledging like, hey, these films are family-friendly, fun movies… They got a lot right. They may be imperfect, but they're really good movies," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Alongside Chiklis, Fantastic Four starred Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Jessica Alba as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman and Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/Human Torch. Marvel revamped the characters for the 2025 film, which saw Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn star as the team. About the new movie and Moss-Bachrach, who plays Ben/the Thing in the modern adaptation, Chiklis said, 'I had a great experience doing them, and I just… I hope that it kills. And it seems like it's doing really well. And by the way, I really like Ebon Moss-Bachrach. He's a terrific actor, so I'm really looking forward to see what he does with… the Thing," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Michael Chiklis is best known for his roles as the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Detective Vic Mackey on the FX police drama The Shield (2002-2008), for which he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2002, and as Ben Grimm / The Thing in Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).Other notable television roles of his include bald Commissioner Tony Scali on The Commish (1991-1996), bald Dell Toledo in American Horror Story: Freak Show (2014-2015), and Nathaniel Barnes in Gotham (2015-2017).

Best reticle code & settings for Blade Crosshair in Marvel Rivals season 3.5
(Image via NetEase Games) Blade's arrival in Marvel Rivals Season 3.5 has brought a fresh wave of aggressive, close-range gameplay. With his deadly mix of sword strikes and shotgun blasts, precision is key, and the right crosshair can make all the difference. If you want to maximize pellet accuracy, track enemies better, and judge your engagement range at a glance, here's the ultimate crosshair setup for Blade. Why Blade Needs a Special Crosshair Blade's kit is all about melee sword strikes and shotgun blasts. His Hunter's Shotgun absolutely shreds in short to mid-range, but there's a catch. Its pellets start spreading after 8 meters and lose damage beyond 20 meters. A default crosshair won't give you the best read on that spread, which is why a tuned setup can give you a massive edge in knowing when to push and when to back off. The Best Crosshair Design for Blade The go-to design? A crisp central dot with a surrounding circle. Central Dot – Helps you nail those close-range pellet hits under 8 meters. Outer Circle – Lines up with Blade's pellet spread at ~20 meters, letting you eyeball effective range instantly. If the enemy fits neatly inside the circle, you're in the sweet spot—most pellets will land, and you'll win trades way more often. Blade Best Crosshair, Settings, And Playstyle Tips | Marvel Rivals Blade Crosshair Reticle Code Here's the direct code to copy into your settings: 4;0;6.0,0.0,0.0,16.0;100.0,0.0,90.0,100.0;50.0,0.0,0.0,0.0;100.0,100.0,100.0,100.0;0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0;33.0,0.0,36.0,33.0;40.0;100.0,0.0,90.0,100.0;0.0;5.0,3,1,1;0.0,0.0,0.0; Paste this to instantly replicate the optimal Blade crosshair without manual tweaking. Recommended Crosshair Settings If you prefer to set it up manually, here's the configuration: Reticle Type : Circle and Crosshair Reticle Animation : Off Dot Width : 16 Circle Radius : 36 Dot Opacity : 100 Circle Opacity : 90 Dot & Circle Color : Red Crosshair Length : 40 All other values : Set to 0 or default for minimal clutter Why This Works So Well Shotgun Accuracy : The dot ensures your first pellet connects exactly where you aim. Range Awareness : The circle gives an instant 'go/no-go' visual for pellet spread efficiency. Clean Visuals : No extra lines or clutter, and just the essentials for Blade's fast-paced engagements. Whether you're pushing aggressively or holding corners, this setup keeps your focus on the fight, not your UI. With this crosshair, Blade's already lethal close-range kit becomes even deadlier. Every pellet counts, and now, you'll land more of them. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
