X-Men: Anna Paquin Is Game to Come Back for More
The X-Men franchise is bigger in Hollywood than ever, expanding from the big screen to TV as it also gears up for the film X-Men: Apocalypse and several spinoff films. The series already mashed up its new and old casts in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, and is looking to jump around eras again between the '60s-set Hellfire, '80s-set Apocalypse and the likely-'80s-set Legion. There's also a new, untitled Wolverine movie and standalone films about Gambit and Deadpool on the horizon.
That leaves many, many opportunities to weave back in old, familiar X-Men characters in these new projects. Though she's said she won't appear in the Channing Tatum-starring Gambit, Anna Paquin does say she's game to pick up the Rogue mantle and appear in future X-Men properties.

Coca-Cola Has Re-Registered Ecto-Cooler Trademark
Perhaps the most fondly-remembered of all Hi-C flavors, Ecto-Cooler could be ready for a comeback.
According to the keen-eyed Ghostbusters fans at Planet Ghostbusters, the Coca-Cola corporation filed to re-register its trademark for the citrus beverage back in September.
It could be Coca-Cola is simply renewing the trademark so it doesn't lose the rights to the name, but it could also be that the green beverage will see a return to store shelves. After all, the new Ghostbusters movie is coming out in July, so it would make sense to reintroduce everyone's favorite drink that's inspired by a lovable, but ultimately spooky, ghost.
