Paul Heyman is Here to Crush Your CM Punk Dreams
It's 'Mania season, and with WrestleMania 34 airing this Sunday and fans speculating about which legends might surprise us with an appearance (and Braun Strowman still not having a tag team parter for his match), the inevitable "call for Punk" has returned. Could the self-exiled CM Punk come back for a one-time showing, putting aside the cauldron of bad blood bubbling between him and WWE?
Well, Punk's longtime friend, and former manager/advocate, Paul Heyman is pretty sure that ain't gonna happen. In an interview with the New York Post, Heyman stated “I don’t think CM Punk cares one way or another what’s going on in the world of sports entertainment."
The Avengers’ Secret Weapon to Beat Thanos in Infinity War
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War will pit Earth’s mightiest heroes against Thanos as he vies to collect all six Infinity Stones in order to wipe out half of the universe with a snap of his fingers. To say it’s going to be tough for the Avengers to stop a master plan of that scale is the understatement of the century, but lucky for them, they already have a secret weapon to beat Thanos. And her name is Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch.
Watch the video above for a demonstration of Wanda's powers to go along with our theory.
Once Thanos gets his mitts on a few Infinity Stones, he’ll become exponentially more powerful. But Wanda could prove to be a match for his shiny new weapon based on what we saw her do in Captain America: Civil War. She was able to swiftly take down Vision when she used her powers to control the Mind Stone embedded in his forehead. That’s right: it looks like Wanda has the ability to manipulate Infinity Stones.

John Krasinski Responds to Talk of an Office Reboot
Earlier this week, NBC Chairman Bob Greenblatt discussed the idea of rebooting The Office, saying it was possible, although likely without the full original cast. We happened to have John Krasinski in the IGN UK office today, and put the idea to him - he had a different idea.
"I've talked about it a bunch," he told us in an upcoming interview for the IGN UK Podcast. "I love the idea of coming back together
I think it'd be impossible to get us all together to do a run of the series. But
have the Christmas specials.
"That is such a brilliant thing in television programming, to do a once-a-year sort of check-in with your favourite shows. I absolutely think we should do that, and I don't know why more shows don't do that. Hey America! We need to do Christmas specials."
PUBG Corp Is Suing ‘Clone’ Game Developers
PUBG Corp, the owner and developer of the massively popular online shooter PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, has launched a lawsuit against Chinese publisher NetEase, which it claims has infringed copyright by producing two games for mobile devices that bear a striking similarity to PUBG.
As reported over on Ars Technica, the suit was filed in Northern California's US District Court and particularly refers to mobile-only games Rules of Survival and Knives Out (both of which arrived on iOS before PUBG had been ported). Both feature 100-person online battles on an island with a shrinking "safe zone", a variety of island-crossing vehicles, and military-grade weapons and armour. PUBG Corp is seeking damages from NetEase, as well as the removal of both games from online stores.
DayZ Is Relaunching on PC With a New Engine This Month
DayZ is getting a reboot of sorts on PC with the relaunch of the title using a new engine before the end of the month.
"We're releasing DayZ on a new engine in a couple of weeks on PC, and it's gonna be coming to Game Preview on Xbox this year," lead producer Eugen Harton told PCGamesN at Microsoft's ID@Xbox event. "That's basically our aim. I would almost say it's a reboot of DayZ on PC."
When pressed on whether the news meant the title would finally be leaving Early Access, Harton didn't comment either way.
Talking about the relaunch in light of the titles DayZ is competing with, Harton said: "It might not become a mainstream thing, but that's not our customer. I'm okay with that. I know what game I'm making - I don't want to appeal to everybody." He added: "I still feel like we have not hit our peak. This is the year of DayZ."
NBC Would Consider Reviving The Office, West Wing
NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt has spoken about the public's appetite for what he calls the "reboot genre", discussing his openness to the possibility of reviving much-loved shows such as The Office or West Wing.
Speaking at the Hollywood Reporter's 12th annual Power Lawyers breakfast, Greenblatt specifically listed The Office as a possible reboot - although with the caveat that this would most likely not include the full cast - with The West Wing another distinct possibility; Greenblatt stated that West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin would be behind a revival, "if he weren't busy doing 10 other extraordinary things".
Snyder Suggests the Dead Robin in BvS Was Dick Grayson
Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder has been fairly active on social media site Vero over the past few days, with his most recent posts suggesting that Bruce Wayne uses sex as a drug in the movie to forget about the significant baggage he carries on his shoulders. One scene in the movie represents this baggage pretty succinctly, with a brief shot of a defaced Robin uniform belonging to Batman's former - deceased - sidekick.
It's long been assumed that the the outfit was meant to represent Jason Todd, the second Robin, in a reflection of the comic book storyline which saw his death - but if Snyder is to be believed, it may actually have been referring to Dick Grayson, the original sidekick to call himself Robin.
