Family Guy Reveals Stewie’s Big Secret
After 16 seasons and more than 300 episodes, Family Guy just revealed a big secret about Stewie.
No, he didn't come out as gay — although he does think that he and The Flash's Grant Gustin "would make the most adorable Instagram couple" — but instead, thanks to a therapy session with a child psychologist, Dr. Cecil Pritchfield (voiced by the dulcet tones of Ian McKellen), he finally admitted that his iconic British accent is "nothing more than an affectation," and he actually just sounds like a young American kid.
The meta-joke laden hour, written by Gary Janetti, had fun toying with fans' expectations that this might be a coming out story for the littlest Griffin (as well as featuring a snotty Hamilton performance, because why not?). "This whole thing isn’t because I'm gay, so calm down; I can already see you licking your chops," he told Dr. Pritchfield at one point, basically speaking directly to the audience. "If anything, I'm less gay than I used to be."
New Justice League Comic Uses Animated Series Roster
DC's flagship Justice League comic is getting a major roster overhaul this summer, but one that should be plenty familiar to fans of the 2001 animated series. The relaunched Justice League #1 will introduce a new team consisting of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Cyborg, Aquaman, The Flash (Barry Allen), Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl.
As DC previously announced, Dark Nights: Metal writer Scott Snyder will be taking the reins of the series (following May's Justice League: No Justice crossover series). However, today the company revealed that Jim Cheung (Spider-Man: The Clone Conspiracy) and Jorge Jiménez (Super Sons) will be the first two artists on the series. Cheung will draw Justice League #1 (due out on June 6) and Jimenez will draw issue #2 (due out on June 20).

Rick and Morty: Adult Swim Hasn’t Ordered Season 4 Yet
We're all waiting for the next season of Rick and Morty, and it looks like we've still got a ways to go, after Dan Harmon told fans that Adult Swim hasn't ordered season 4 yet.
"I hear ya, tough spot," he tweeted in reply to what we can only assume was a fan of the show, who told him he should finish writing it already. Harmon noted in his somewhat flippant response the fourth season the fan demanded hasn't officially been ordered for season 4.
"On one hand, it can be challenging, especially with crippling lazy alcoholism, to write a show that hasn’t been ordered by a network," he wrote.

Black Panther Is First Film Since Avatar to Rule Box Office for Five Weeks in a Row
Black Panther ruled the domestic box office for a fifth week in a row, something no MCU movie has done before, and a benchmark a movie has not achieved since 2009.
Black Panther's estimated $27 million weekend earned the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest entry the No. 1 spot yet again at the box office, becoming the first film to do so since Avatar in 2009. (That film went on to hold the domestic box office top spot for seven weeks.)
No other superhero film has remained atop the box office for five or more weeks, and only Avatar, Titanic, and The Sixth Sense have done so in the last 20 years.

The Rock Says Rampage is His Most Physically Demanding Role
Chaos has overtaken Chicago, there are smashed buildings all around us, and only one man -- and one giant albino gorilla -- can save the day!
In this case, Chicago is actually an outdoor set built in Atlanta for the new film Rampage, and the man in question, primatologist Davis Okoye, is played by none other than Dwayne Johnson. And while the aforementioned gorilla, named “George” in the film, isn’t present on set at the moment -- the special effects experts at Weta will make sure that’s remedied by the time the movie is in theaters -- it was hard not to grin as giant wind machines blew debris everywhere, making the chaos feel a bit more genuine, while Johnson as Davis surveyed the scene, looked up at George, and intoned, in the way Johnson was born to do, “Ready to kick some ass?”
