Black Panther Stars Take Part in the Get Out Challenge
The stars of Black Panther are the latest to attempt the Get Out challenge.
With writer-director Jordan Peele's debut film being a rousing success, the horror thriller has sparked an internet challenge where people try to recreate Walter's (Marcus Henderson) intense run towards the camera. Now, many of the stars from Black Panther, including Get Out's own Daniel Kaluuya (who plays W'Kabi in the Marvel film), have gotten in on the action.
Lupita Nyong'o, who portrays Nakia in Black Panther, posted a video on Instagram showing what looks like the entire Black Panther cast running towards Kaluuya. Watch it below:
Manu Bennett Returning as Deathstroke for Arrow Finale
The upcoming finale of Arrow's fifth season will see the return of Manu Bennett in his role as Deathstroke.

For fans of the series, even the title of the finale is a tease, as "Lian Yu" is the name of the Island that served as the catalyst for Oliver Queen's transition into the vigilante we see today.
Overwatch Insurrection Event Leaked
A new trailer for Overwatch has reportedly leaked, detailing the game's next big event, Insurrection.
As reported by Polygon, a trailer for the event was posted by PlayStation France on YouTube, but has since been pulled. According to the video, Insurrection will run from April 11 to May 1 and feature a new co-op mode, as well as an assortment of new character skins and other cosmetic items.
Insurrection's aforementioned horde-like cooperative mode appears to take place on the King's Row map, but set in daylight. Based on the footage, players will face off against an army of Omnic enemies as either Tracer, Mercy, Reinhardt or Torbjorn.
God-Kart Racing Comes to Smite in New Mode
Smite has added a new, limited time game mode called Apollo's Racer Rumble. In a radical departure from the game's MOBA-style of gameplay, the new mode puts you behind the wheel in a kart racing circuit.
The mode pays serious homage to the king of kart racers, Super Mario Kart, with the description on the new mode's site cautioning players to "watch out for kappa shells!"
There are also "powerful relics" to collect around the two tracks, Elysium Beach and Molten Pass. The relics give you powers to help best your opponents, similar to the items in Mario Kart, but more godly.
Driving comes down to cornering prowess and keeping your kart from smashing obstacles along the way. As you compete, you "earn Racer Pedestal upgrades and chest rolls," one of which "guarantees players an exclusive skin."
Xbox Store Spring Sale Announced
Microsoft is throwing a big spring sale on games, movies, TV shows and more from April 11 to 17.
