The Defenders: 6 Villains Sigourney Weaver Might Play
Marvel and Netflix dropped a major bombshell at NYCC this past weekend when actress Sigourney Weaver walked on stage at the "Iron Fist" panel and revealed that she's been cast as the lead villain in the upcoming Defenders series. We don't know which character Weaver will be playing, but clearly it's someone capable of taking on the combined might of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. That alone narrows down the candidate pool a bit.
We've put together a list of seven potential villains Weaver might play in The Defenders. Because Marvel isn't averse to gender-swapping characters from time to time, we're including a mix of male and female characters.
Check out our picks and then let us know your theories in the comments below.

Supergirl: Who Is in the Pod?
Warning: This article contains previously announced official character information for Supergirl: Season 2 that has not been revealed onscreen yet and could be considered a spoiler for those trying to avoid anything about what’s to come.
Supergirl wrapped up its first season with a major cliffhanger, as a space pod identical to the one that carried Kara Zor-El to Earth crashed in the middle of National City. The bad news is that the Season 2 premiere didn't reveal much about the pod's comatose inhabitant (played by The Vampire Diaries' Chris Wood) or why he traveled to Earth. The good news is that The CW already revealed the identity of this alien visitor: Mon-El. That alone offers plenty of clues as to what role the character will play this season.
US President Wants to Send Humans to Mars by the 2030s
President of the United States Barack Obama has said America is aiming to send humans to Mars by the 2030s, and return them safely to Earth.
Writing on CNN, Obama said the government has laid out these plans and added America has the "ultimate ambition to one day remain
for an extended time."
"Getting to Mars will require continued cooperation between government and private innovators, and we're already well on our way," Obama continued. "Within the next two years, private companies will for the first time send astronauts to the International Space Station."
Gears of War 4 Update Tweaks Credit System
Gears of War 4 developer The Coalition has issued a new server-side update that makes it easier for players to earn Credits, the shooter's in-game currency.
According to a developer blog post, the update brings down the cost of an Elite Pack from 4000 to 3500 Credits and increases the amount of match completion bonus Credits rewarded from Versus Multiplayer.
These changes were made after monitoring data and hearing player feedback, which helped The Coalition determine that previous calculations for Credit rewards were "under expectations."

Power Rangers’ Green Ranger Series ‘Still Very Possible’
With a Green Ranger somewhat absent from the upcoming movie reboot, the original actor behind him says the character could well get his own spin-off series.
Speaking to Comicbook.com, Jason David Frank explained that not only is he interested in the idea of a Green Ranger series, but talks have been had with owning company Saban.
Discussing his relationship with director Aaron Schoenke - with whom he reprised the White Ranger role for web series, Super Power Beatdown - Frank explains that, “he came to the house and we talked about the Green Ranger series with Saban, which is not dead yet. That's still very possible with that."
In what is probably more of a hopeful statement than a definitive hint, he reiterated that point later in the interview, saying: “I got a lot of big things coming out next year. We're talking with Saban about the Green Ranger series."
