Overwatch Art Used in a Paladins Strike Advertisement
Art from Overwatch accidentally made its way into Hi-Rez Studios' new mobile game, Paladins Strike.
The error was first pointed out on r/Overwatch by Reddit user "XTeKoX", who posted a short gif from a Paladins Strike advertisement. The ad shows a new player character skin, but if you take a close look at the city in the background you can see it bears a striking resemblance to Overwatch's Lijiang Tower map.
The post was then shared to the Paladins Reddit where it caught the attention of Hi-Rez Art Director ThunderBrush, who responded with this explanation:

Deadpool 2: Two More Cameos You May Have Missed
Deadpool 2 is now available to own on Digital.
Warning: Spoilers for Deadpool 2 follow. Turn back now if you haven't yet watched the film.
Deadpool 2 features plenty of cameos, including a few well-hidden appearances from Matt Damon and Alan Tudyk.
In the film, Josh Brolin's Cable time travels to present day and immediately encounters two "rednecks' who're discussing the best way to clean yourself after going to the bathroom.
Per Radio Times, it turns out Tudyk plays "Redneck #2." Damon, on the other hand, portrays Tudyk's friend who's lecturing him about toilet papers. You can't really notice Damon in the role because he's covered with prosthetic makeup, along with a wig and a fake beer belly.
Deadpool 2: Cable and Domino’s Origins Compared to the Comics
Deadpool 2 introduced a number of fan-favorite X-Men characters to Fox's cinematic universe, and none more crucial than Cable and Domino. With these two heroes in play, the stage is now set for a full-fledged X-Force movie.
If you're not familiar with the X-Force comics, you may be wondering just how much the movie draws from the source material. Here's a quick breakdown of what made the cut and what was changed with these two iconic mutants.
Warning: beware of spoilers for Deadpool 2!
Cable
The basics of Cable remain pretty much the same in both the comics and the movie. He's a cybernetic soldier from the future who has traveled back in time in order to prevent his hellish future from coming to pass. That was pretty much all fans knew about the character in his early appearances in New Mutants and X-Force.
