Gal Gadot has confirmed that Brett Ratner will not be involved with Wonder Woman 2.

According to the actress, before the report even surfaced, Ratner and his production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment were no longer involved with the DC film franchise. "There was nothing for me to actually come and say, because it was already done before this article came out," Gadot said.

Will Smith Is Calling All Will Smiths for a Will Smith Team Up
Will Smith is recruiting other Will Smiths to help him with the promotion of his upcoming Netflix movie, Bright.
The global promotion tour consists of "too much stuff," said Smith in the video below, so he's enlisting the help of those who share his name.

Can World of Warcraft Classic Servers Really Let You Go Home Again?
There was once a quiet little tavern in the Park District in Stormwind where a small band of soldiers, sorcerers, scavengers, and scamps would meet to lighten their loads long into the night. I never had a neighborhood bar in the real world like you see on sitcoms, but that cozy little nook nestled far away from any of World of Warcraft's quest-givers, auction houses, flight masters, or class trainers felt like home. Few who frequented it knew my real name, but everybody knew the name of my human paladin, Trathas Valorwind.
That establishment is long gone now. It quite literally fell into the sea when Deathwing desolated the kingdom during 2010's Cataclysm expansion. The couple dozen of us who used to park our avatars by its hearth to swap stories of adventure, and sometimes even confide in each other about our real life problems, drifted away to other haunts. Most, myself included, eventually drifted away from the game altogether. The Lich King’s final breaths were the sound of an age ending.
New CS:GO Matchmaking System Analyses Steam Behavior
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) has received a new matchmaking system that analyses player behavior across Steam.
According to the Counter-Strike blog, the new system has created something called a Trust Factor for Steam players. This system takes into account total time playing CS:GO, times players have been reported for cheating, and time spent playing other games on their Steam account, with all of these contributing to create a player's Trust Factor.
Valve says the results of the experiment have been positive, allowing them to keep the parts of the Prime system that were working, while ditching parts that caused issues in the CS:GO community. The Trust system is already live, but players will be able to opt to use Prime matchmaking for a little while longer.
World of Warcraft Ditching Classic Feature in Next Expansion
In order to provide more players with more flexibility, Blizzard has opted to do away with traditional raid class sets in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
"We're currently not planning on carrying forward traditional raid class sets," World of Warcraft game director Ion Hazzikostas said of the MMO's recently revealed expansion in an interview with Game Informer at BlizzCon 2017.
In addition to noting that "gear will be more heavily themed from the place it comes," Hazzikostas said Blizzard has more customization it wants to feature through the game's new Azerite system, which will feature options like enhancing abilities so players can tailor their gear around their specific strengths.
