How Civil War Affects Steve Rogers’ Costume in Infinity War
Don't expect Steve Rogers to be getting a major wardrobe makeover in Avengers: Infinity War even with the big changes at the end of Captain America: Civil War.
Full spoilers for Captain America: Civil War continue below.
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo recently confirmed to the Huffington Post that when Steve drops the Captain America shield at the end of Civil War, he's giving up that superhero identity. But just because Steve Rogers is no longer Captain America doesn't mean he's going to look all that different as a civilian in Avengers: Infinity War. Get used to seeing a lot of Chris Evans in nondescript T-shirts and jeans, explained Infinity War costume designer Judianna Makovsky, because that's come to define his "Steve Rogers" identity.
Wrestling Wrap Up: Fine, Cena Can Be World Champ Again
FINE!
John Cena can be world champ again. I suppose. Hmph. Sigh.
.
.
That doesn't mean that Cena's next title reign will come at the expense of current WWE World Champ AJ Styles, but it's going to eventually happen so I need to be okay with it. We've staved this off for long enough. Cena hasn't been champ in two years. It's been an amazing, rewarding ride. He's had the U.S. belt, held various feuds, and even gone after the top championship a few times, but for the most part he's been out of the picture. Literally even, as he's been taking unprecedented (for Cena) time off to do outside-of-WWE stuff and things.

Destiny: Archon’s Forge, Plaguelands and Felwinter Peak Exposed
I don’t think that Rise of Iron is going to change the mind of any non-believers in the Destiny franchise. What it is going to accomplish is giving many more hours of play to the millions of players still enamored with the world that was built. You see the team at Bungie is aware the vanilla version of their shared world shooter didn’t meet player expectations. It’s something they took quite personally when the initial reviews came in far below expectations. Since that launch on September 9th 2014 the team has been hard at work refining, molding, and improving upon the systems that kept players coming back.
Earlier this week I discussed my first impressions of Rise of Iron. Today we’re able to share a little bit more with you including the new Plaguelands patrol area, Felwinter Peak the new social space, and reveal the first tier of the Archon’s Forge arena. Each adds their own lair further immersing players in the Destiny world, but because we weren’t able to play past the campaign I can’t definitively say that any of these pieces are going to dramatically change the game. However I can definitively say that I can't wait for September 20th.
Destiny: Bungie on PlayStation Exclusives and Pay to Win
IGN recently sat down with a number of Bungie staff for a round table interview during an event for Destiny: Rise of Iron, speaking about PlayStation exclusivity, and how the studio hopes to steer clear of "pay to win" mechanics.
A number of PlayStation exclusive pieces of content will be included in the next Destiny expansion, and we asked executive producer Scott Taylor whether he's concerned about giving Xbox players some perceived negativity towards the brand.
"We love Xbox players. We love PS4 players," said Taylor. "The way we look at it, we try to deliver complete experiences
, and have extra content on the PlayStation."
"If it was up to me," said game director Christopher Barrett, "I would love to give everybody everything. These are things that have been worked out with our publishers and stuff like that, so we focused on Rise of Iron. And we wanted to make sure we could give as much content as we could to both platforms."
25 Years Later, See at Concept Art for Beauty and the Beast
On November 22nd, 1991, audiences were first introduced to the magic of Disney's now-classic animated movie, Beauty and the Beast. Now, 25 years later, Walt Disney Pictures is pulling back the curtain to offer a deeper look at the making of the beloved feature film.
In anticipation of the release of the special 25th anniversary edition of Beauty and the Beast on Blu-ray and DVD on September 20th (which is already available on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere), Disney has released some gorgeous character sketch art that shows the evolution of the film's characters. While the designs for Belle, the Beast, Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts are now iconic, these pieces of concept art offer a look at what might have been. Check them out in the gallery below.
Vikings Returns in November With Second Half of Season 4
History's popular TV series Vikings will return in just over two months' time, with the second half of Season 4 set to premiere on Wednesday, November 30 at 9pm ET/PT.
The midseason return picks up after the epic encounter in Paris between Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and his brother Rollo (Clive Standen), and the major time-jump that provides a window into the next chapter in the Vikings' journey.
The premiere will see Ragnar returning home to "handle unfinished business in Wessex with King Ecbert" and check on his sons, while Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) makes a play for power in Kattegat and Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) sets off to explore the Mediterranean.
"This season is monumental and unlike anything we’ve ever done," series creator Michael Hirst said in a statement, noting that Vikings follows an array of character stories that are inspired by real-world events and isn't just "a story of one man, but a saga of Ragnar and his sons."

Star Wars Live-Action TV Series Could Still Happen
While a live-action Star Wars TV show was planned before Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, a live-action series set in a galaxy far, far away could still happen, according to Disney/ABC broadcast executive Ben Sherwood.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sherwood explained that any plans for such a series are ultimately up to the executives at Walt Disney Studio and Lucasfilm, before saying, "somewhere we hope in a galaxy not too far away there will be a television show that will air on one of our networks."
