Star Trek: The Classic Uniforms Are Finally Coming to Discovery
It seems the USS Discovery crew will be sporting a more classic look in Season 2.
Warning: Minor spoilers follow for Season 1...

The design of the uniforms has been a major point of contention for fans considering Discovery is set during the time period of the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage." But the change to the classic uniforms makes sense, since the USS Enterprise will now seemingly be a major focus in Season 2 after appearing in the Season 1 finale.

Aquaman Director Shares Plot Details
Aquaman will tell a "Shakespearean story," according to director James Wan.
Per Entertainment Weekly, Wan shared plenty of new story details about the upcoming DC film at CinemaCon. Aquaman will focus on the conflict between the titular superhero (portrayed by Jason Momoa) and his brother, the villainous Orm (Patrick Wilson), a.k.a. Ocean Master. Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen) will also play some sort of a role in this rivalry.
“The main antagonist in this movie is Orm, played by Patrick Wilson,” Wan said. “And Black Manta, played by Yahya
, is caught up in that world with them as well. But the main drive really is, it’s almost a very classic Shakespearean story about brother from another world vs. brother from another world. And it really is a classic story of sibling rivalry.”
