15 MCU Villains We Want After Avengers: Infinity War
We're reaching a critical point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now. All of these movies are rapidly building toward the climactic showdown between Earth's heroes and Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. But even as exciting as that prospect is, we can't help but wonder what comes next.
Thanos may be the end-game of Phase 3 of the MCU, but there will be plenty more movies to come, and many more villains for the Avengers to contend with. These are the 15 villains we'd most like to see appear in Phase 4 and beyond, including new faces and an old favorite or two that still have more stories to be told.
We don't know much about the direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Infinity War, but it is clear that Marvel has no plans to slow down its release schedule. Fans can look forward to the release of Ant-Man and The Wasp on July 6, 2018, Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019, The Avengers 4 on May 3, 2019, Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 on July 5, 2019 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 at some point thereafter, along with three more unrevealed movies for 2020.

Director of Sausage Party Will Direct a Jetsons Movie
Warner Bros. has plans for a movie based on the classic cartoon The Jetsons, and Conrad Vernon is reportedly tapped to direct, according to THR.
Vernon recently was the co-director of the raunchy food-based comedy Sausage Party, which starred, amongst others, Seth Rogen and Kristen Wiig.
The tale of the Jetson family and their dog Astro is unlikely to follow in the hard-R footsteps of that movie, but Vernon has worked on more family-friendly fare as well. He co-directed Shrek 2, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. Clearly, he is a veteran of animated film, and should be up to the task of directing an animated Jetsons movie. There has been talk of the futuristic family being turned into a live-action movie for a while, but the hiring of Vernon pretty much locks them in for the animation route.
7 Games Like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has found massive success since it hit Steam Early Access on March 23. While the concept of a battle royale isn’t new, Battlegrounds’ refined, no-nonsense approach to the free-for-all, last-player-standing-style survival shooter has earned it immense fame and fortune among enthusiasts of the genre.
But this Arma mod-turned-standalone isn’t the only option for survival game fans looking to pit their skills against others. Several mods and standalone games have come before and after (some even made by the creator himself), though how active each community is varies from game to game.

10 TV Shows Twitch Should Stream Next
As Twitch's marathon of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood comes to an end after 18 days of revisiting the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, it's hard not to wonder what comes next. Previously, the streaming video site ran marathons of Power Rangers and The Joy of Painting starring Bob Ross. If these marathons have done anything, it's proven that nostalgia is alive and well when it comes to the TV shows Twitch's audience grew up with. While The Joy of Painting pulled in a very impressive 5.6 million viewers for Twitch, the Power Rangers marathon landed 12.9 million views to the show's channel.

Splatoon 2: Road to E3 2017
It's that time of year again: E3 2017 is just on the horizon. From June 10-15, we'll be covering the biggest games and hardware announcements of 2017 and beyond. While you can check out our continually-updated Games of E3 List, we're now going to start diving deeper. Every day leading up to the show, we'll highlight the stuff we want to see and play at E3 2017. Today's game is Splatoon 2.
We = saw a wonderfully cut campaign trailer for Splatoon 2 not that long ago, and it plays to the strengths of Splatoon's weird world beautifully. It kicks off with Marie, one member of the previously popular diva duette known as the Squid Sisters, on her own and *gasp* no one appears to remember her. We're not sure how much time has passed between the Splatoon games, but this narrative setup plays into the drama Nintendo is slowly building through it's Squid Sister stories. It tells the story of a rift that happens after Team Marie beat Team Callie in the final Splatfest event. Anyway, this trailer shows off some cool mechanics and it confirms that more weapons will be available in the campaign versus the previous Splatoon campaign.
The CW’s Black Lightning Explained
The CW will be adding yet another DC Comics-based series to its lineup this fall thanks to Black Lightning. The series will chronicle the exploits of Jefferson Pierce, a middle-aged metahuman trying to raise two daughters and make his city a safer place. Even with his electricity powers, that task will be easier said than done.
Black Lightning won't be premiering until midway through the 2017-2018 TV season, but it doesn't hurt to brush up o the character now. We're here to break down everything you need to know about this rising star in the DCU.
Black Lightning is among DC's first African American superheroes. A resident of Metropolis' Suicide Slum, Jefferson fights to keep his family and his community safe from gangs like The 100 and crime lords like Tobias Whale, and his innate electric powers make him a serious force to be reckoned with. Jefferson tends to have a unique perspective on crime and evil relative to the heroes of the Justice League. He'd prefer to remain on the street and try to enact change on a local level rather than spend his time high above the world in the JLA Watchtower.
