James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Script Will Be Used
Update 2/22: Reported by CinemaBlend, Marvel Cinematic Universe head Kevin Feige confirmed that James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 draft will be used for the film, despite Gunn being removed as director.
Feige said to CinemaBlend, “
influence was Guardians. It was Guardians. It was his input on Guardians and the Avengers films, as you've seen in Infinity War, and on the Guardians 3 script, which we’re still using. So you'll see that influence."
It remains to be seen how much of his original script will stay intact once a new director comes on board, but it appears Gunn’s influence will remain with the film regardless.

The Oscars We Think Marvel Will (and Won’t) Win
A decade after The Dark Knight was infamously snubbed, Black Panther is the first comic book movie to receive an Oscar nomination as Best Picture. The Marvel-Disney film also picked up six other noms: Costume Design, Original Score, Original Song, Production Design, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing.
Black Panther, though, isn't the only film based on a Marvel comic vying for Oscar gold at this Sunday's 91st Annual Academy Awards, as Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is nominated for Best Animated Film and Avengers: Infinity War is in the running for Best Visual Effects.

The Black Man Who Revolutionized Gaming as We Know It
At 6’ 6” and 280 pounds, Jerry Lawson -- a Black man -- was extremely far from the stereotypical image of an engineer and inventor in 1970s America, or even today. But then, nothing about Jerry's life was stereotypical.
Black inventor and self-taught engineer Gerald “Jerry” Lawson was one of the few Black engineers of his time; yet, he was almost left out of the tome of gaming history. With his work on the Fairchild Channel F Console, Jerry was the first to innovate the use of interchangeable cartridges in consumer gaming consoles, changing the landscape of the gaming industry as we know it. In 2018, the gaming industry’s estimated worth was $138 billion and is built on the backbone of consumer flexibility: being able to play multiple games comfortably in your home or on the go. None of this modern-day success would have been possible if it wasn’t for Jerry Lawson; but, let's start at the beginning.
