The 140 character limit for tweets has been a staple of Twitter since its launch in 2006, but that will soon change. The popular social media site is working on a new feature that will allow users' tweets to be longer.
According to Re/code and its sources, the new limit for tweets may be up to 10,000 characters long, the same length as the site's Direct Message feature, which was expanded last year.

Creed Star Tessa Thompson in Talks for Alex Garland’s Annihilation
Creed co-star Tessa Thompson may join the cast of Annihilation, the next movie from Ex Machina director Alex Garland.
TheWrap reports that Thompson joins Natalie Portman and Gina Rodriguez in "early talks" for one of the starring roles.
Annihilation is a film adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s novel by the same name. The story follows four female scientists into a dangerous area cut off from civilization. Theirs is the 12th expedition, with the previous 11 all meeting horrific, and various ends.
The crew features four members, meaning that if Thompson, Portman, and Rodriguez are confirmed there's likely still one more star to climb aboard. They'll have to do it sometime soon, as Annihilation is meant to begin production this spring.

the system," finds himself at a turning point in Captain America: Civil War, Chris Evans says. The Avengers are forced to choose sides as a rift builds between Cap (Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).
"There’s a great parallel that they draw between my character and Tony Stark," Evans tells Cineplex. "It’s something we can all relate to in terms of how we perceive our own society and culture, in terms of what is best for people. You can go right down to Democrat and Republican; everyone has a different opinion of what’s best."
