Doctor Strange Director Tweets Cool Set Photo
Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson tweeted a photo today of his leading men Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor on the New York City set of the Marvel movie.
The photo in the tweet embedded below gives us a great look at the costumes worn by Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange and Ejiofor as Baron Mordo.
While Cumberbatch's costume, hairstyle and facial hair combine to make him a dead ringer for his comic book counterpart, Ejiofor's Mordo wears a far more somber and simple garb than his character dons in the books.
The movie version of Mordo wears a green and grey ensemble without the high collar and more gaudy finishings of the comic book Mordo.

During a heartfelt address to the crowd, Sting told the wrestlers and fans on hand that he was ending his career under the "WWE Umbrella" and that he couldn't be prouder.
Massive "Thank You, Sting!" chants then followed as Sting put on sunglasses and picked uo his trademark black bat. "This isn't goodbye, but see you later," he told the crowd before exiting the stage.

WWE’s Neville Gives Update on Ankle Injury
Those in the pro-wrestling business dream of one day being able to compete at WrestleMania. Unfortunately, for the high-flying Neville, his opportunity to compete in the ladder match at 'Mania 32 was lost a few weeks back when he suffered a serious ankle injury during a match against Chris Jericho on RAW.
At WWE Axxess, I was given the chance to briefly speak to Neville just days out from WrestleMania and get an update regarding his condition. Plus, he gave his thoughts on returning to NXT to face Finn Balor a few months ago and teaming with Arrow's Stephen Amell last summer at SummerSlam.

BvS Producer Hints at Cyborg’s Inclusion in Flash Movie
Ray Fisher's Cyborg may soon be joining forces with Ezra Miller's The Flash, if recent comments by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice producer Deborah Snyder are any indication.
While speaking with Forbes about the studio's upcoming slate of DC superhero films, Snyder hinted at Cyborg's inclusion in Warner Bros.' Flash solo feature, telling the outlet: "When we get to The Flash movie, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher — who plays Cyborg — are kind of our youngest characters, and they have a really nice comradery with each other."
Dave Bautista Hints at Joining Blade Runner 2

The actor hinted at his involvement on Twitter, posting a photo of himself and an origami unicorn, along with the caption: "I can't wait to share some really exciting news..."

While the tweet is by no means confirmation, the origami unicorn is an obvious reference to the original movie.
The sequel's cast already includes Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford. House of Cards star Robin Wright also joined the cast earlier this week.
Paul Heyman: Dean Ambrose Will Be Able to “Brag” About a Brock Lesnar Beating
When you interview WWE’s Paul Heyman, you’re going to get “Paul Heyman,” with all the impressive oratory skills Brock Lesnar’s advocate brings to his role on RAW and other WWE events.
In a day and age where WWE programming like Total Divas and various WWE Network specials and series take you behind the scenes and show how their performers work on their characters and promos, the talent no longer has to be fully in character when you speak to them away from WWE shows. But Heyman seems to get a kick out of the delightfully boastful character he portrays, maintaining it much of the time, which was the case when IGN spoke to him going into WrestleMania 32, where he’ll be in Lesnar’s corner Sunday for a big "street fight" match against Dean Ambrose.
BvS Breaks New Record, and It’s Not a Good One

When compared strictly to its $53.8 million figure on March 25, the film saw a Friday-to-Friday drop of 71.5 percent.
Capcom Bringing Mega Man, Monster Hunter to Mobile
Capcom is ramping up its mobile efforts with plans to "aggressively" leverage its popular franchises by releasing mobile games based on Mega Man, Monster Hunter and more.
The company announced it's reorganizing its mobile operations and has established a Mobile Business Division with a goal of producing "hit titles both domestically and abroad by aggressively utilizing the company's popular IP."
In fact, Capcom said it plans to launch four games based on its "popular brands" before March 31, 2017, specifically citing Mega Man, Monster Hunter and Sengoku BASARA.
Earlier this year, Mega Man Legacy Collection made its way to Nintendo 3DS, which IGN's Jared Petty praised as being an "object lesson for how game compilations should be engineered." For more on Capcom's beloved Blue Bomber, check out our ranking of all ten main-series Mega Man games.
