Mr. Fantastic’s Powers Explained
Reed Richards' powers are getting a tweak in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.
According to the film's official site, Richards (a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic, who is played by Miles Teller) can "warp space around him, and appear to stretch his body to impossible forms and incredible lengths." In other words, his body isn't shifting, the space around him is. This is of course quite different from the comic book version of the character.
The most recent trailer certainly showed Richards' limbs stretching as one expects from Mr. Fantastic, so it seems the altered power will work functionally the same on film. It also showed Dr. Doom, the Human Torch, and the Thing in action, so it's not shying away from some of the more fantastical elements of the comic series.
First Doughnut in Space Completes its Voyage
After being launched into the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, a doughnut became the first pastry to make a solo mission into space.
Launched by a team of Swedes using a weather balloon, the doughnut reached Earth's stratosphere after a two-hour journey. Technically, the doughnut was still a fair distance away from what is considered "outer space," but it's still a momentous achievement for doughnutkind. The entire voyage was captured on video, which you can watch below.
After completing its journey, the doughnut landed in the water and was rescued by the Swedish Sea Rescue Society. In an end fitting for a hero doughnut, it was eaten by the people who originally launched it into space.
Captain America: Civil War Villain Confirmed
Actor Daniel Bruhl has confirmed that he will be playing the hooded villain Baron Zemo in Captain America: Civil War. (Well, hooded in the comics anyway.)
Known for his roles in Inglorious Basterds and Rush, Bruhl told British newspaper The Independent he would be playing Captain America's antagonist when the film begins shooting toward the end of this month. Word had leaked earlier this year that the actor might be playing the character.

Apple Sitting on $194 Billion in Cash After Second Quarter
Apple released its second quarter earnings report today, announcing that the company is sitting on $194 billion in cash and revenue for the quarter was up 27% from the same period the previous year. Its profits alone for the same period clocked in at $13.6 billion.
However, when compared to the first quarter of 2015, Apple's revenue was down nearly $16 billion.
International sales accounted for 69% of the revenue for the quarter, reflecting the high demand in emerging markets such as China for Apple products. Apple said it sold 61.17 million iPhones and 4.6 million Macs. The Mac figure represented double-digit growth for the company.
Spider-Man Reboot Might Use Avengers Name
The next Spider-Man film may have a title that strongly ties it to Marvel's Cinematic Universe.
Latino Review passed along a rumor that the title will be "Spider-Man: The New Avenger." That would firmly plant the wallcrawler in the current Marvel movie continuity by stating upfront that he's part of the Avengers team. It would also echo the first Captain America's subtitle, The First Avenger.
Marvel cinematic boss Kevin Feige has previously stressed that the reboot would forgo an origin story and focus on the character's high school years. It will still be co-produced by Sony, but Marvel is getting input into the process as part of the announced partnership to bring Spider-Man into the MCU fold.
