The Rarest Collectible at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Is… a Gift Card?
When Disney announced its ambitious plans for a new Star Wars-themed expansion at its Disneyland and Disney World theme parks, it wasn't necessarily the rides or the merchandise that got fans excited (although, sure, who doesn't want to pilot the Millennium Falcon or build a lightsaber?) it was the opportunity to immerse ourselves in a galaxy far, far away. (And Disney World's upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel promises to take that concept to a whole new level.)

Before You Watch El Camino, Here’s a Jesse Pinkman Refresher
This is a story recap for Breaking Bad intended to serve as a refresher for what happened to Jesse Pinkman before El Camino, the new Breaking Bad movie that just dropped on Netflix. As that would suggest, this article does contain spoilers for Breaking Bad.
Check out IGN’s review of El Camino below:
With El Camino: A Breaking Bad movie premiering Friday, October 11 on Netflix, and acting as Breaking Bad's new finale of sorts (if you don't count the present-day scenes on Better Call Saul), we thought we'd recap a bit of honorable nogoodnik Jesse Pinkman's history on the show.
Venom Director Says Sony Is Leading Towards Crossover With Tom Holland’s Spider-Man
Sony's high-profile Toms may be meeting in a face-off.
Speaking to Fandom, Venom director Ruben Fleischer said Sony is "building towards" a confrontation between Tom Hardy's Venom and Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
“That’s where it’s all going to lead,” Fleischer said of a showdown between the two characters.
Fleischer added that the Venom film had to change Venom's origin story because of Sony's deal with Marvel.
the comics, he evolved from Spider-Man but because of the Marvel-Sony thing we weren’t able to that. And so the thing I think it’s building towards, and will be exciting to see, is when they actually do confront each other," he said.

Like Natasha Romanoff herself, we don’t know much about the upcoming Black Widow solo film other than a few carefully disclosed secrets. We do know the story takes place shortly after Captain America: Civil War, opening the way for cameos for the original Avengers. Some of the classic characters from Black Widow’s long comic book history have also been revealed, including Red Guardian, played by David Harbour (Stranger Things).
Is he a hero or a villain? And why is he important to Natasha’s story? The red-clad super soldier hasn’t shown up much in the comics since debuting in two issues of Avengers in the 1960s, but he left quite an impact with a huge revelation after that first appearance. Let’s meet Red Guardian and examine the clues he might hold about Black Widow’s past. These are the topics we’ll be covering here:

Borderlands 3 10-Year Anniversary Week Three Events Is All About Eridium
Update 2:
Borderlands 3's 10-year anniversary event is on week 3. This week's theme: "Show Me the Eridium!"
During this week, standard enemies will now drop Eridium, Eridium drops from Mayhem Mode will increase, and Moxxi's Vault Line slot machine will cost less Eridium to play. Furthermore, cosmetic items and Anointed weapons at Crazy Earl's hideout will be discounted.
Players will need an Eridium Resonator to break Eridium deposits and collect shards, but luckily the Resonator is an item players will naturally pick up over the course of the main story campaign. The Resonator is obtained during the Eden-6 questline.
The "Show Me the Eridium" event will be available starting at 3 pm PT/6 pm ET tomorrow, Tuesday, October 15. The event will last until October 22, at which point Borderlands 3 will begin spinning up next week's event, "Mayhem on Twitch!"
Fortnite Players Think They’ve Decoded The Black Hole Numbers
Fortnite players believe that they've cracked the code posed by the mysterious numbers displayed by the black hole. The hole and the numbers are now the only elements available following the destruction of the game's island map.
In the hours since Fortnite's map exploded at the end of Season 10, the sole remaining aspect of the game - a black hole - has been displaying a series of numbers. That series has now begun to repeat itself, and fans on Reddit have determined that the full sequence is 11 146 15 62 / 87 14 106 2 150 / 69 146 15 36 / 2 176 8 160 65. But what do those numbers mean?
Taron Egerton Confirms a Script Exists for Kingsman 3
Taron Egerton, who plays Eggsy in the Kingsman films, has confirmed that a script has been written for a third movie.
Talking at ACE Comic Con Midwest, Comicbook reports that Egerton said “I'm really not allowed to say anything, but there is a script”.
"It's a really neat idea. That plan, at the moment, is that we'd like to do another one, one more time," he added.
Director Matthew Vaughn will release a third film in the series, The King’s Man, next February. However, The King’s Man is a prequel to Egerton’s films, and so is not the third film in the contemporary Kingsman timeline. That section of the series - made up so far of The Secret Service and The Golden Circle films - was envisioned as a trilogy, and Egerton hopes to see it through to the end.
