We're going to go out on a limb and guess that there are a lot more Black Panther fans now than there were a few weeks ago before Captain America: Civil War hit theaters. Among that film's many other triumphs, it certainly did a great job of introducing moviegoers to the King of Wakanda. And the good news is that Marvel's new Black Panther comic is a perfect gateway for those who want to read more of T'Challa's comic book exploits.

League of Legends Teams Banned from Professional Competition
A scandal is happening in eSports today, as Riot Games, developer of League of Legends, announced that two professional League of Legends teams are banned from future Riot-sanctioned competitions. A third team appears to have been banned, as well, leaving players struggling to find a home and get their careers back on track.
The first two teams in question are Renegades and TDK. Riot alleged that Renegades players were improperly treated on the team.
What’s more, the owner of team Renegades, one of the most popular commentators in all of League of Legends, Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykles, was alleged to have improperly contracted a currently-suspended team owner, Chris Badawi, into an ownership agreement.
Wonder Woman: Gal Gadot Wraps Shooting
Actress Gal Gadot has taken to Facebook to reveal she's wrapped shooting on the upcoming Wonder Woman solo film.

Gadot went on to thank everyone involved, including the "amazing cast, crew and phenomenal director."
Yes, Wolverine 3 Will Be Rated R
Wolverine 3 has begun filming, producer Simon Kinberg has confirmed.
During a press event for X-Men: Apocalypse, Kinberg told Collider the film will be "a very radical, bold, different Wolverine than you've ever seen in any of the movies." Kinberg also confirmed previous rumors that Wolverine 3 will be rated R.
"It's violent, it's kind of like a western in its tone," the producer said. "It's just a very cool, different film." The film's R rating has been rumored for a while now, and it's been said 20th Century Fox was targeting the rating before Deadpool's success.
See Your Favorite X-Men Die in ‘Death of X’ Variant Covers
Marvel Comics recently teased “Death of X” for Fall 2016, which we are assuming is an X-Men event that will bank off the threat of seeing our favorite mutants die, and now they’ve announced there will be 20 “Death of X” variant covers featuring beloved characters either dead or dying in horrifying fashion.
Here’s the first three, featuring Jean Grey overwhelmed by the Phoenix Force, a memorial statue of Colossus in the X-Mansion's graveyard, and Nightcrawler being burned at the stake.

Next X-Men Movie Set in the 1990s
X-Men franchise producer Simon Kinberg has confirmed the next film in the series will be set in the 1990s.
First Class took place in the 60s, Days of Future Past took place in the 70s, and the upcoming Apocalypse is set in the 80s. It seems only logical that the next movie will continue the trend, and Kinberg confirmed the suspicions in an interview with Coming Soon.
However, we don't know yet whether Kinberg was referring to the next "main" X-Men movie, or whether it'll be the in-development New Mutants film, directed by Josh Boone. New Mutants will be bringing a "young adult vibe" to the universe, with younger characters on show.
