5 Ways Marvel Can Handle Losing Robert Downey Jr.
Based on recent comments, Iron Man actor Robert Downey, Jr. may be looking to end his decade-long tenure as the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given how many times Downey has played Tony Stark over the years, we can't really blame him if he does choose to move on and spend more time swimming in his Scrooge McDuck-style money vault. Sooner or later, Downey is going to hang up his amor for the final time.
That does leave the MCU in a tough spot, however. Can Marvel Studios soldier on without its biggest and most bankable star? Should Tony Stark remain a fixture in the MCU, or should he be retired in favor of a newer, younger (and cheaper) generation of heroes? We have a few ideas on how Marvel could respond to a Downey-less MCU.
Destiny 2: Milestones, Flashpoints, and Our First Impressions
Destiny 2 takes everything you know about the original game and molds it into a refined, sleek, and shiny new model. Having played it on PC, it’s hard not to be impressed with the additional attention to detail – be it the rain showering down on the tower or the fiery explosions erupting as you ignite a Cabal’s fuel tank. The sequel’s paramount goal, however, is to address the one major concern heard loudly and clearly through the halls of Bungie: crafting a better story. They’ve reinforced this goal at every turn, and our brief time playing through the “Homecoming” mission at the reveal event in May and again at E3 on PC has done more than enough to quell any concerns we had about the narrative.

Game of Thrones S7 Has Jon and Sansa in a ‘Power Struggle’
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has come forward to shed light on what Season 7 holds for the relationship between Jon Snow and Sophie Turner's Sansa Stark.
"There is definite tension between them right from the first scene," Harington told Entertainment Weekly. According to the actor, prior issues between the two persist, with Sansa questioning his leadership and Snow refusing to listen.
While Harington refrained from discussing where that tension might take the two, he did say, "It gets past sibling squabbling, it gets into two people power struggling."
The actor went on to note that Snow is "more sure of himself" in Season 7, which has proven to be "a nice change" for Harington. "He doesn’t just know what he's got to do but he's more sure of what he's saying—whereas before there was always some fear and doubt," he explained.
