Mark Ruffalo and Michael Mando Allegedly Joining Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies have always had an Avenger-level guest star with the films running through Tony Stark, Nick Fury, and lately Doctor Strange. Now with Brand New Day incoming, it's no surprise that another Avenger has signed on for a 'substantial role'. Apparently Nexus Point News is saying that Mark Ruffalo is set to make an appearance as the Hulk/Bruce Banner in Spider-Man: Brand New Day . It's said that his role will be 'much larger than a cameo', so it's possible that he could be Spider-Man's in back to the good graces of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. We don't know exactly which bonds Peter had decided to salvage after the events of No Way Home , but we know that he's going to be staying away from his remaining loved ones in order to keep them safe. At best, he probably reintroduced himself to Doctor Strange, but everyone else does remember who Spider-Man is; it's Peter Parker nobody knows anymore. As for Hulk, his last major appearance was in the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law where it's revealed that he has a son. Marvel never pulled on that thread for years , but maybe we'll finally get to see where that goes before the events of Avengers: Doomsday. Besides Ruffalo, it's also said that Michael Mando is also in talks to make a return as Scorpion/Mac Gargan. His last appearance had him getting seriously injured by Peter, and it wouldn't be surprising if he comes back in a bit role as a thug with some upgraded tech, ready to clash with Spider-Man. Then again, this is just speculation for now. The way Marvel works, we don't know how much they're willing to suddenly change behind-the-scenes. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to come out in theaters on July 31, 2026.

Bankruptcy forces ice cream chain to close 500 locations
Call it collateral damage. Sometimes a business gets hurt through no fault of its own. Thousands of restaurants and retailers, for example, lost customers when the Covid pandemic forced people to work from home. If people didn't go to work, they didn't have an opportunity to get coffee from the shops built to serve their buildings or buy lunch from nearby restaurants. Related: Iconic Baskin-Robbins local ice cream rival closes after 40 years Since many companies kept either a work-from-home or hybrid schedule after the impact of Covid ebbed, many of those customers simply never came back. That was not the fault of those businesses, but they suffered anyway. It's like when The Avengers smash their way through New York City in an effort to save the world. The end product is worth it, but a lot of good people have their homes, businesses, and cars smashed while Hulk fights Ultron, or Thanos. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Bankruptcies often have their own collateral damage. Sometimes a company that files for bankruptcy owns brands that are successful on their own. Those brands can be sold as part of a Chapter 11 filing, or they could simply be lost as part of the process. It's a sad situation that's popping up again as part of the Rite Aid bankruptcy. Drugstores and ice cream have a long history. Many pharmacies had ice cream counters, and some, including Rite Aid, owned their own brands. "Thrifty ice cream was launched in 1940 at a small factory in West Hollywood. Angelenos soon flocked to the flagship Thrifty Drug Store in downtown Los Angeles to sample ice cream from the soda fountain. The high-quality, small-batch ice cream even snagged awards from the L.A. County Fair. By the 1970s, Thrifty ice cream had attained cult status along the West Coast, with significant celebrity shoutouts," the ice cream brand shared on its website. Rite Aid currently own Thrifty Ice Cream and has 500 pharmacies that offer it via an old-school ice cream counter. Thrifty Ice Cream is known for two things. First, it has a patented scoop that delivers a sort of square ice cream cone. The company has also been known for flavor innovation. More closings: Popular retail chain to close unprofitable store locationsBankrupt retail chain unloads store leases, key assetPopular discount retailer files bankruptcy, closes all stores "With love comes longevity. Our plant in El Monte, CA, is full of familiar faces. Many of our employees have been churning out ice cream for three decades, marking each hand-crafted carton they scoop with their name. We also taste-test hundreds of new flavors every year. It's a hard job, but somebody's gotta do it! Our team can even make exclusive, custom flavors like Sriracha Swirl and Bacon & Cheddar," it shared. The 500 (or so) Thrifty Ice Cream locations that are inside Rite Aid stores will all be closed as part of Rite Aid's bankruptcy. Since these locations are inside the Rite Aid pharmacies, they can't be sold as a separate asset. Thrifty Ice Cream is also sold in the freezer section of multiple retailers. "You can find Thrifty ice cream in the freezer section of your favorite retailers, like Rite Aid, Albertsons, Vons and more. You can also find it at scoop counters across California, Arizona and a growing number of regions in the U.S. and Mexico," the company shared. There are some franchised scoop counters that not owned by Rite Aid. Thrifty Ice Cream will be sold as an asset as part of Rite Aid's Chapter 11 bankruptcy sale. A buyer could continue to operate the brand, selling pints, quarts, and packaged ice cream to grocery chains. It could also continue to supply the non-Rite-Aid ice cream counters. Related: Popular pizza maker closed after Chapter 11 bankruptcy moves forward It's also possible a buyer could purchase the factory to make its own ice cream or even produce something else. And, it's always possible that no buyer will emerge. Thrifty Ice Cream will close around 500 locations as part of the Rite Aid shutdown, but its future is not certain. The brand could survive, but that's very much in doubt. The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.

Hulk Hogan can 'feel his hands' again after undergoing neck surgery, Entertainment News
Hulk Hogan can "feel his hands" again after undergoing neck surgery. The wrestling legend had the procedure last week and his friend Eric Bischoff revealed that the operation eased the discomfort all over his body. Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff said: "They had to work on the discs in his neck, but they had to go in through the front to get to him to relieve some of the pressure and damage that he was experiencing in his legs and his hands. "What I heard from one of the people who works closely with him on a daily basis was that coming out of that surgery, for the first time in a long time, he could actually feel his hands. "He hasn't been able to feel his hands... as soon as he woke up, the first thing he said was, 'I can feel my hands', which I think is really cool." Bischoff also hit out at online negativity against Hulk, 71, and says it contrasts hugely with his enduring popularity in the real world. The wrestling executive said: "(The critics are) just bottom-feeder, unproductive sheep that tend to want to be the loudest people in the room. "You go outside of that little bubble, and as you pointed out, it's mind-boggling that kind of response he gives. It's not only at the fan level, but even now... I'm talking to networks, large ones, who are wanting to know how much we're going to be able to use Hulk." Bischoff and Hulk are preparing to launch a new wrestling league, Real American Freestyle, this summer and he doesn't want to overexpose the retired WWE star in the venture that is separate from "sports entertainment". He said: "I don't want to see too much Hulk Hogan on TV... because that will make the job of separating ourselves and defining our brand from sports entertainment (harder). "So the more I see Hulk on TV as a producer, the harder my job becomes, but yet the networks I'm talking to are going, 'Yeah, but can we get a special interview... Can we get Hulk on a pre-show?'"
