T.J. Miller’s Weasel Won’t Be in X-Force, Confirms Ryan Reynolds
T.J. Miller will not be in X-Force, Ryan Reynolds has confirmed.
Speaking to the New York Times, Reynolds revealed Miller won't appear as Weasel in the ensemble film. Miller was accused of sexual misconduct and abuse last year, which Reynolds declined to comment on.
Earlier this year, Deadpool 2 producer Lauren Shuler Donner said it was too late to drop Miller from the sequel, which opens in theaters on May 15 in the UK, May 16 in Australia, and May 18 in the US.
Arrested Development Season 5 Will Feature Jeffrey Tambor
Jeffrey Tambor will be featured in Arrested Development Season 5.
Entertainment Weekly reports the George Bluth Sr. actor will indeed return for the new season, which wrapped production in November. This is around the same time the actor departed Amazon's Transparent last year over two separate allegations of sexual harassment. Tambor denied the allegations in a statement.
"I've already made clear my deep regret if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being aggressive, but the idea that I would deliberately harass anyone is simply and utterly untrue," Tambor said at the time. "Given the politicized atmosphere that seems to have afflicted our set, I don't see how I can return to Transparent."

Spring has definitely sprung, and there's a whole new set of games in this month's Humble Bundle so your heart is as warm as the weather. In case you're not familiar with how it works, it's a snap to explain: for $12 you get a big pile of games: A few up-front you can play immediately, and then a second wave of curated mystery games at the end of the month. 5% goes to charity.

Then at the end of the month you'll get over $100 worth of more hand-picked PC games. You can pay for a single month for $12, but the price goes down to $11 if you sign up for a 1-year subscription - essentially getting you one of the monthly bundles for free.
Giant Crater Is Completely Filled in by Dedicated Fortnite Fans
A courageous team of 17 Fortnite players fully covered Dusty Divot and the newly added crater to restore the area to its former glory.
The biggest change to Season 4 came when the meteor destroyed Dusty Depot and added a giant crater and Dusty Divot to the map. The goal of this ambitious project was to completely seal in that crater by simply building a flat floor across the huge hole. After assembling a team of 17 players, the group joined a game and started building from the north side. After placing over 2,500 floor segments and making use of over 25,000 resources, the crater was no more.

The half-hour comedy will also include a bevy of guest stars including Jane Lynch, Giancarlo Esposito, Taran Killam, Clancy Brown, Nat Faxon, Dana Snyder, Bree Williamson and Girl Milana Vayntrub.
