You Can Trade Your Halo 5 Collector’s Edition Codes for a Disc
343 Industries has good news for Halo 5 fans who were wanting a physical copy of the game with their collector's editions.

X-Men Producer Addresses Comic-Con Leak
Several high-profile trailers were shown at San Diego Comic-Con last week, and while the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer was immediately put online, ones for Suicide Squad, Deadpool, and X-Men: Apocalypse were not, but that didn't stop attendees with cell phone cameras from posting blurry recordings of the material online. This caused Warner Bros. to release the Suicide Squad trailer -- they'd rather fans see a nice HD version than the crummy bootleg -- but Fox has yet to release their two trailers. During a set visit for 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, IGN and several other outlets asked Hutch Parker, former president of production for 20th Century Fox and current producer for the X-Men movies, how he felt about the leaked footage and if even possibly the studio secretly wants the footage to leak so it would go viral.
Brock Lesnar’s 7 Greatest WWE Matches
"Next Big Thing." "Beast Incarnate." "Conqueror." The "1 in 21 22 and 1." The "Unbeatable Incumbent Mayor of Suplex City."
Brock Lesnar has collected a lot of intimidating nicknames over the years, and given that he's about to face Seth Rollins one-on-one at Battleground for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship it's very likely that "Architect Obliterator" is next on the merch docket.
Lesnar's had an interesting, incomparable career in the WWE. Leaving in 2004 - after an explosive couple of debut years that saw him topple the likes of Rock, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, and more - Lesnar set his sights on football. And then UFC, where he'd go on to defeat Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

The film opens with a flashback to the late 1980s, where Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym has a falling out with several senior members of Shield. That includes Hayley Atwell and John Slattery -- both in age make-up -- as older versions of Peggy Carter and Howard Stark. Good to see they were still fighting the good fight back in the age of Duran Duran!

Hulu Considering $12 Ad-Free Subscription
If Hulu's ads have been the main thing keeping you from using the streaming service, an ad-free, but pricier version may be on the horizon.
According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, citing people "familiar with the matter," Hulu is planning to launch an ad-free tier as early as this Fall, in an attempt to better compete with the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Currently, Hulu charges $7.99/month for its premium service, while its Showtime add-on includes an additional $8.99/month. This new tier, meanwhile, could be priced at $12-$14/month, placing it higher than Netflix's own $7.99/month plan that comes with all the same benefits.

Grant Morrison Isn’t a Fan Wonder Woman in BvS
Comic book writer Grant Morrison, who just finished work on Wonder Woman: Earth One, isn't fond of the way the character is being portrayed in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
"It’s finished now and it’ll be coming out soon," he told Nerdist when asked about his upcoming comic. "I sat down and I thought, 'I don’t want to do this warrior woman thing.'"
"I can understand why they’re doing it," he continued, speaking to BvS' take on Wonder Woman. "I get all that, but that’s not what
William Marston wanted, that’s not what he wanted at all!
"His original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood-curdling masculinity, and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume, and it’s all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera," he continued. "Marston’s Diana was a doctor, a healer, a scientist. So I went back to those roots and just built it up again."
