A sequel to The Batman is in the works, with Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves both returning. Warner Bros. confirmed the sequel during its presentation at CinemaCon on Tuesday. As he did the first time around, Reeves will write and direct the film. Released in March 2022, The Batman rebooted the franchise with a dark, gritty adaptation that drew inspiration from comics such as Year One and The Long Halloween — as well as Nirvana. Though clocking in at nearly three hours, the film was a critical and commercial success. Consequence’s Sr. Entertainment Editor, Liz Shannon Miller, declared it…

The first two Mission: Impossible sequels got numerical titles, but since then each subsequent film has received a vaguely ominous and slightly inscrutable subtitle. There was Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, then Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, then Mission: Impossible — Fallout. What do they mean? It honestly doesn’t matter. They just sound cool.The frequently delayed seventh and eighth films are currently in production, and their official titles were just revealed during Paramount Pictures’ presentation at the annual CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas. The seventh movie will henceforth be known as Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part 1.Doesn’t quite roll of the tongue, but what are you…

Protected areas — such as nature reserves, national parks, and wilderness areas — are essential to conserving biodiversity. New research published in Environmental Research Letters provides insights for developing climate-smart conservation strategies. The study looked at the global network of protected areas, evaluated potential for shifts in where plants and animals occur due to climate change, and as a result identifies the need for strategic conservation plans that transcend international borders and protect at-risk species. “As the planet continues to warm, we expect a number of species to move out of some protected areas and into others as they shift…

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Moon Knight Episode 4, “The Tomb.”] Is Phase 4 Marvel’s phase of seriously awkward romantic relationships? In WandaVision we had Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), who were cute, but Vision was dead. In Loki we had Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), where the whole “they’re the same person” thing raised some questions (and eyebrows). And now in Moon Knight, we have a love triangle where two of the parties involved share the same body. Awkward. Gabor Kotschy Steven (Oscar Isaac) and Layla (May Calamawy) follow the stars to…

Hulton Archive If you’re big on rocking protective styles, maintaining a blowout, and extending the life of your curls, you already know that a shower cap is an essential hair accessory. Even if you don’t fit into any of those categories, you probably have one hanging in your bathroom on standby for special occasion styles. But does every cap work? Or does it leave your edges damp, nape soaked, and hair frizzy? Fret no more. Gone are the days of trying to reuse those flimsy plastic shower caps that lose their strength after each bath. We’re moving on to bigger,…

We tend to never think that the worst is going to happen, until it actually does happen—and that applies to everything in the digital realm too, whether it’s losing data or having your accounts compromised.The worst sometimes does happen, and with that in mind, it’s important to make sure you’re prepared for it. When it comes to the iCloud data being backed up from your Apple device, that means having a recovery plan in place should you find yourself locked out from your backups.Apple has recently introduced some new features for iCloud data recovery, so we’ll go through them all…

For years, climate scientists have been saying that time is increasingly of the essence if the world is to stave off the worst effects of the climate crisis. But they have repeated it once again in the third and final installment of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was released on Monday. The technology to do so is on hand, they emphasized, if governments can commit to the needed changes in policy. The new installment—compiled by 278 scientists synthesizing more than 18,000 studies—highlighted some bright spots since the last assessment report was published…

Disney is finally making a movie of one of its most famous Disneyland attractions: The Haunted Mansion. But wait; Disney already did make that movie way back in 2003. It starred Eddie Murphy and it was, frankly, not very good.That could be why, about 20 years later, they’re doing the whole thing over again. The new Haunted Mansion (no ‘the’ in the title, it’s cleaner that way) stars Rosario Dawson, Lakeith Stanfield, and Tiffany Haddish, with Justin Simien from Dear White People and Bad Hair as director.Exactly how this movie will differ from the previous Haunted Mansion was laid out today over at Disney Parks Blog, which…

What happens when a prominent judge is shot and killed? And that prominent judge is an old friend of Hicks’? On S.W.A.T. Season 5 Episode 18, 20-Squad tries to get the bottom of why he was targeted and who is behind it all. Meanwhile, it’s another Sons of Anarchy reunion as Ryan Hurst returns as Luca’s brother, Terry. This time, Terry finds himself in trouble but his big bro may not provide the help he needs. Will Luca come around?

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nears its 7th week, Western governments and independent observers continue to warn that Russia’s military could escalate from indiscriminately bombing cities to using non-conventional warfare, in particular chemical weapons. The Kremlin has denied any intention to use chemical weapons. But the Russian government has been linked over the past two decades with this type of attack. And concern over President Vladimir Putin’s intentions spiked on 28 March, when The Wall Street Journal reported that envoys and mediators in Russia–Ukraine peace talks earlier in the month had been poisoned—although at least one Ukrainian government source has…

Jordyn Woods is setting the standard for courtside style. While attending boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns’s basketball game against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 12, the model showed her support by wearing a Minnesota Timberwolves No. 32 jersey. It wasn’t just any ol’ jersey, though — it was completely decked out with silver and green crystals on the front and back. Hand-customized by Rachel Saunders Soule, the bedazzled jersey sparkled as Woods sat in the front row and cheered on Towns’s team to victory. Woods’s dedication to repping the Timberwolves’ colors didn’t stop there; she also rocked a pair of Balenciaga’s…

No, this is not a deleted scene from Jennifer’s Body: Megan Fox has doubled down on the claim that she does, in fact, drink the blood of her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly. The actress confirmed her gory habit in a recent interview with Glamour, clarifying that it’s “for ritual purposes only.” “I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood,” Fox said. “It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.” Fox, a noted…

Don’t be alarmed when you tune into Season 2 of The Flight Attendant and you see Cassie Bowden (Kaley Cuoco) seems to have her life together. The flight attendant/part-time CIA asset who, in the first season of HBO Max‘s thrilling dramedy was often in over her head, is now sober, working her flights around the world, and also helping the CIA with whatever they need her to do. But it’s not too long before Cassie’s world starts imploding again and she (and the viewers) are in for another rollercoaster adventure. “I think I learned that I no longer need to…

An international team, co-led by researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute (NGI) in the UK and the Penn State College of Engineering in the US, has developed a tunable graphene-based platform that allows for fine control over the interaction between light and matter in the terahertz (THz) spectrum to reveal rare phenomena known as exceptional points. The feat could contribute to the development of beyond-5G wireless technology for high-speed communication networks.

Everyone needs a dedicated audio system to go with their TV—seriously, most built-in TV speakers are bad. But in a sea of look-alike black boxes, deciding which is right for you can require learning some terminology. That’s why I like Polk’s new Signa S4: It’s the Volvo station wagon of soundbars—simple and boring, and it does exactly what you need. It might not leap out as a great option at first, plus it’s a bit spendy at $399, but after a few weeks of listening to this soundbar and subwoofer combo, it’s now the system I recommend for anyone looking for…

A team led by Maria Leptin has shown in the fruit fly Drosophila that autophagy, a mechanism of stress responses in cells, plays an important role in wound healing: When a wound heals, the process of autophagy is initiated and regulated by the protein complex TORC1. This is a newly discovered function of autophagy and the first evidence that autophagy controls the formation of syncytia (multinucleated cells). While syncytia are also formed during the development of muscles or the placenta, their role in wound healing and the involvement of autophagy are new discoveries. The article, ‘Autophagy-mediated plasma membrane removal promotes…

If you have fine hair, you’ve probably gone through your fair share of dry shampoo, fringes sticking to your face, and curls that fall out within minutes. Styling fine hair and experimenting with cuts in the search for volume can often be tricky to master. Going for the crop or styling your already-short hair might be all you need to do to work with the texture that you’ve got. Short hair means volume, and that’s always what we’re going for, right? Thanks to some expert advice from Michael Lendon, creative director of Aveda, and Christel Lundqvist, founder of Stil Salon, we’ve got some pro tips for you…
