Infinity War Trailer Might Have Big Hint About Thor’s Hammer
The Avengers: Infinity War trailer, as you surely know by now, hit this week to record numbers. And yeah, we're still thinking about it. It's the Avengers and we love them, you know.
And we may have uncovered a hint in that preview regarding a certain God of Thunder and a certain hammer. Of course, spoilers follow for Thor: Ragnarok -- and possibly for Infinity War if our theory turns out to be true.
As any Marvel fan can tell you by now, Thor's precious hammer Mjolnir was destroyed by Hela (Cate Blanchett) in Thor: Ragnarok. The Odinson's eye was also, shall we say, removed by his sister (the Odindaughter...?), but in a somewhat surprising move on Marvel's part, neither the eye nor the hammer were restored by the end of the film. Thor, as of now, is a one-eyed, hammer-less god.

Disney Sues Redbox Over Digital Movie Download Codes
Disney is reportedly suing Redbox for allegedly selling digital versions of its films that reportedly have been removed from movie combo packs.
Disney sells movie combo packs that include a Blu-ray disc, a DVD, and a code that users can redeem through online stores. These codes are explicitly listed as "not for sale or transfer," and yet the media giant alleges this is exactly what Redbox is doing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
If true, that would mean that Redbox is violating the terms and conditions of purchase of Disney movie combo packs by selling the codes at its rental kiosks, which span the United States. Disney also claims selling digital codes without its authorization is a violation of the false advertising law in California.
