In news that probably shouldn't come as a surprise, Marvel Studios are planning to confirm that Loki is bisexual in his upcoming Disney+ solo series. This was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now seems to be back in production for an air date in early 2021. Despite a lack of any footage and promotional material, reports from the show strongly suggest it'll take place in a variety of time periods and have a number of different actors as Loki.
The Mandalorian is known for its fun Star Wars references and the second seasoner opener was full of them. The plot revolved around Boba Fett's half-digested armor, Cobb Vance was using one of Anakin Skywalker’s podracer engines from The Phantom Menace as his ride, Boba himself briefly appeared and we got a cool cameo from R5-D4, the astromech droid first seen in A New Hope.
The Walking Dead fans got very excited yesterday when an IMDb credit page listed Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes as appearing in The Walking Dead: World Beyond's first season finale. The beloved character departed the core show in the ninth run and was last seen wounded but alive and in the care of the Civic Republic Military.
Yesterday's ruling by the High Court looks set to have major ramifications for Johnny Depp. The judge found that twelve out of fourteen of Amber Heard's allegations of assault could be proved to the civil standard and that The Sun newspaper was not being libellous when it referred to him as a "wife beater." Depp's legal team - who said the judgment was "as perverse as it is bewildering" - has confirmed that he plans to appeal, but right now things are looking pretty dire for him.
The Mandalorian is back - and in style. The show has always had Western vibes, but "Chapter 9: The Marshal" cranked those to the max, presenting us with a dusty frontier town, a Marshal trying to keep the peace, frosty relations between indigenous people and settlers, and Mando himself as 'the man with no name.' Within this, we also got some very cool nods to the history of Star Wars.
After months of waiting, the verdict of the High Court is in and it's a total disaster for Johnny Depp. Mr. Justice Nicol has ruled that News Group Newspapers were within their rights to dub him a "wife beater," with Amber Heard's testimony having been found credible in the High Court of England and Wales. The judge's decision will have enormous ramifications for Depp's future and he'll now take a massive financial hit in paying the legal costs of the hearing on top of major damage to his career prospects.
