Sacha Baron Cohen might be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadline cites an unnamed source close to production, who claims that the Borat star is likely to play Mephisto on Ironheart, the Dominique Thorne-led series, which will branch out of the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While not as concrete as usual reports, it claims that the actor was recently spotted at the Marvel facilities, at the UK’s Pinewood Studios.

The great tragedy of Gotham Knights — out Friday on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X — is that it was always going to be pitted against the beloved and critically-acclaimed Batman: Arkham games. For one, it’s the first open world Gotham City entry since 2015’s largely well-received final chapter, Batman: Arkham Knight. And two, more importantly, Gotham Knights comes from the same developer — in WB Games Montréal — who gave us that series’ poorest instalment, the 2013 prequel Batman: Arkham Origins. The comparisons were inevitable and unavoidable.But in the seven years it’s taken for a return to Gotham,…

Credit: Shutterstock The United States experiences a staggeringly high rate of gun homicides, but accurately predicting these incidents—especially on a monthly basis—has been a significant challenge, due to the lag in the release of official Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) firearm mortality data, which is a cornerstone of reliable gun research. A new methodology developed by a team at NYU Tandon School of Engineering could change that. In a paper published in the Journal of Criminal Justice, researchers led by Maurizio Porfiri, NYU Tandon Institute Professor and Director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), revealed…

Baseball analysts have pointed to many different factors for this surge, from changes in baseball construction to advances in game analytics. Our new study, published April 7, 2023, offers solid evidence for another…
For those of us who are into fashion, people-watching is both an enjoyable sport and an information-gathering exercise.
