Superhero fans have been wondering how mutants – and therefore the X-Men – would be introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since Disney purchased Fox in 2019, but that question has finally been answered thanks to the Ms. Marvel series.

Warning: The following paragraphs include spoilers for the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series.

Early on in the series we learned that the magic bangle worn by Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel herself, only activated something already within her, and we're later told that she's a djinn, a new type of supernatural being for the MCU.

In the sixth and final episode, however, Khan and Bruno discuss her genes further before he comments there's something different about her still, "like a mutation".

While this could still be open to interpretation given how many directions the MCU is currently going, a quick soundbite of the actual X-Men: The Animated Series theme song plays on top of the scene, making it pretty clear that Ms. Marvel is the first stepping stone towards a full mutant and X-Men introduction.

Marvel hasn't said anything about the X-Men's introduction to the MCU previously but it is focusing resources into the franchise elsewhere with the X-Men '97 series that's coming to Disney+ next year. One of Fox's other major franchises, The Fantastic Four, is being introduced as the final film in Phase 4, perhaps leaving Phase 5 wide open for a full X-Men introduction.

This would include characters including Wolverine (a role that's currently being pursued by Taron Egerton of the Kingsman franchise), Professor X (that featured briefly in one of the latest Doctor Strange film's alternate universe), and Magneto.

Twitter is following through on its promise to sue Elon Musk, filing suit against the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX in a Delaware court. Twitter says it wants Musk to follow through on the deal and to be "enjoined from further breaches, ordered to comply with their obligations to work toward satisfying the few closing conditions, and ordered to close upon satisfaction of those conditions."

The scathing complaint calls Musk a "model of bad faith," and claims that he is attempting to pass along the costs of the recent stock market downturn to stockholders. Twitter also dismissed Musk's claims that the social media giant failed to comply with its part of the agreement as pretexts that lack any merit.

"Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away," the lawsuit reads.

Oh the irony lol

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 12, 2022

In response, Musk tweeted, "Oh the irony lol."

The lawsuit follows Twitter chairman Bret Taylors' vow to sue Musk, saying that the company is confident that it will prevail in court. Musk, for his part, has claimed that Twitter is obfuscating the true number of spambots and fake accounts it supports.

Musk first made a $44 billion offer to buy Twitter back in April. He seemed to feel buyer's remorse immediately after the deal was accepted, claiming that Twitter was failing to fulfill its obligations and claiming the company was in breach of contract. Twitter, for its part, moved steadily ahead with the deal, unaminously recommending that stockholders vote in favor of the merger.

Twitter is seeking a four-day trial in September, with a deadline of October 24 for the deal to be completed.

Chadwick Boseman's iconic career lives on. Today, the late actor, who passed away in 2020, received a posthumous Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance category for his role in Disney+ and Marvel Studios' What If...?.

Boseman reprised his acclaimed role as T'Challa for an episode of the animated series, which imagines different timelines and endings for MCU characters (and also received its own nomination for the Outstanding Animated Program category). What If...? notably aired after Boseman's passing and marked his last appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This isn't the first time Boseman's career has been recognized after his death. Earlier this year, Boseman also received a posthumous Oscar nomination and won a Screen Actors Guild award for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

Boseman passed away in 2020 at the age of 43 after a four year-long fight against colon cancer. He was best known for his role as T'Challa in Marvel's Black Panther, which was the first superhero movie to earn a Best Picture nomination, though his career saw him take on numerous other leading roles such as Jackie Robinson in 42 and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall.

The Emmy Awards are slated to air on September 12.

Nearly a year after Relic Entertainment and Sega announced Company of Heroes 3, the next entry in the beloved World War II real-time strategy series finally has a release date. Today, Relic Entertainment revealed that CoH3 is set to release on November 17, 2022.

According to a press release, the game will have four playable factions and two separate campaigns at launch: the more open-ended Italian Dynamic Campaign and the focused, narrative-based North African Operation.

These campaigns will also introduce players to new mechanics, including "side armor, enemy vehicle recovery and vehicle-towing, which lets you reposition your hard-hitting artillery like the German Flak 36 and British 17-Pounder."

While the game won't be out until November, Relic Entertainment is now promoting its community feedback program, which gives players the opportunity to test part of the North African Operation campaign, titled Mission Alpha. The mission, which is also free on Steam starting today until July 19, follows the "Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) as they attempt to repel the British from their entrenched positions."

Last year, IGN previewed a pre-alpha version of the game. More recently, IGN was able to take part in a hands-on preview of Company of Heroes 3's North African Operation, and there were quite a few impressive differences between the game's varied settings.

Developer Atomic Wolf and publisher Games Operators (the publisher of Rustler [aka Grand Theft Horse], the medieval top-down parody of GTA 1 & 2), are developing another send-up of a familiar genre. Yet Another Fantasy Title is, as the name implies, a fantasy-themed game. It's a top-down-view open-world action-RPG. Watch the announcement trailer above and check out the first screenshots in the gallery below.

You play an outlaw who'd "normally be prey for the protagonist in some sidequest," as the Atomic Wolf team describes it. Instead, you've killed the kingdom's savior and stolen his unicorn. An adventure ensues. Yet Another Fantasy Title promises parodied versions of all of the usual open-world action-RPG fantasy genre tropes, such as plenty of sidequests, a comprehensive story, magic, 15 different medieval weapons like swords and bows, and mounts in the forms of unicorns, horses, donkeys, and wolves.

And yes, naturally, there's a dragon to be slain as well. Yet Another Fantasy Title is in development for PC. Wishlist it on Steam.
