01 The Satanic Temple Settles Case Against Netflix
It looks like The Satanic Temple has settled their case against Netflix.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina used a Baphomet throughout season one, that looked almost exactly like the Baphomet used by The Satanic Temple.
Lucien Greaves of The Satanic Temple has announced that the lawsuit has been “amicably settled.”
The temple will be acknowledged in the credits for episodes of “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” that have already been filmed.
All other details of the settlement are confidential and will not be released at this time.

03 George R.R. Martin Harassed by Stephen Colbert
George R.R. Martin was recently on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert where the host harassed him a little about his lack of focus on finishing The Winds Of Winter.
Martin just released his 700 page Fire and Blood with the acknowledgement that it's only the first half of his prequel story.
He promised Colbert that he would release The Winds Of Winter before working on the second half of Fire And Blood.
Martin has hinted several times that The Winds Of Winter will be the darkest of the books in the series.

04 Hugh Jackman Is Done With Wolverine
Most of us understand that Hugh Jackman is finished playing the role of Wolverine.
Deadpool's Ryan Reynolds has been trying to convince him to return to the role.
But the actor has stayed firm that no matter how much he enjoyed it, he is done.
"When I saw Deadpool, I was like, wow that's cool. It's just a matter of time. It's a
bit like you're at the greatest party you've ever been at, you've been dancing for an hour
and a half, and then you're just like 'It's time, ok. If I stay any longer, it's gonna get
ugly.' It's like, it's time."

06 Wreck It Ralph On Fortnite
Fortnite has never been above a little bit of a crossover tie in.
In May they made Thanos a playable character.
This being a Wreck it Ralph weekend, it's not shocking that he has been seen in the game.
A Reddit user going by the tag MozzzyyTwitch saw the big guy on a movie screen at the Risky Reels location.
Of course Ralph Breaks the Internet has enough pop culture references to give Ready Player One a run for its money.

07 Is Venom Sequel Confirmed?
While we hold out hope that Jared Leto's Morbius won't be as disappointing as his Joker, Sony has confirmed a Venom sequel.
The first Venom has raked in $780.2 million so far world wide, so it's not shocking that a sequel is being made.
Morbius will be released on July 10th of 2020, while Spider-Man: Far From Home is scheduled for release on July 5th of 2019.
So the “untitled Sony-Marvel sequel” coming on October 2nd could only be the sequel to Venom.
So we have less time to wait until we see Woody Harrelson devour some scenery as Carnage.
