Invincible fans might think they know what's coming in season 3 based on what happens in the comics, but it's sounding like they won't know everything. So far, the animated adaptation of Invincible has been pretty much one-to-one when it comes to what happens in the comics. But according to comic co-creator and show creator Robert Kirkman, you shouldn't go in with too many expectations of what will happen in the show's upcoming third season. During his San Diego Comic-**** panel (via Popverse), in response to a fan's question about season 3, Kirkman said "Are you uh assuming that you know what's coming in the next season based on your awareness of the comic book series? You're gonna be so wrong, sometimes. Sometimes you'll be a little surprised, sometimes you'll be disappointed. Mostly you'll be blown away." During Comic-****, a first look at the titular Invincible's new suit, a blue and ****** number that shows Mark is about to enter a new era as a superhero. "Definitely won't be getting scratched or covered in blood…" reads a sarcastic description from the official Invincible Twitter account. Read more View the full article
*** arts and entertainment union Equity have unveiled a raft of "best practice guidelines" for video game developers hiring voice actors, including some suggested minimum rates that are designed to address "systemic low pay" for performers. Other measures are designed to improve voice actor working conditions, and stop companies using their voices and likeness as fuel for generative AI tools without their consent.

While the game involves poker hands, you don’t gamble chips or money — instead, the goal is to strategically build high-scoring hands through things like discarding cards, modifying your cards,...

Spoilers ahead for Deadpool & Wolverine. Deadpool & Wolverine is filled with plenty of big and surprising cameos, but possibly the most surprising of all left the actor in question "***** to his stomach." While a majority of the multiversal variants given a lengthy amount of screentime went to the numerous Deadpools that exist, there were a few alternate universe Wolverines to be seen too. Most notably, one portrayed by Superman himself, Henry Cavill. He was obviously a big surprise given the fact that he is, you know, the Man of Steel (or was, anyway), not to mention his other body of work. And in an interview with the New York Times, director Shawn Levy explained how that casting came to be, and spoke of how Cavill handled smoking Wolverine's classic cigar.
