Marvel fans have probably grown pretty tired of trying to guess what’s going to happen next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the end of WandaVision, which was both satisfying and disappointing in how it wrapped up Wanda’s story of overcoming grief but did not deliver on the many fan theories surrounding it, fans may be wary to make any assumptions about characters that might show up in the future. Still, there is a deep roster of Marvel characters out there, and if the movies are good at one thing, it’s giving more obscure characters a chance to shine....

There is quite a bit happening in the world of Overwatch this week, beginning with the decision of Michael Chu Ricardo Mireles, the Associate Creative Director of the game, to leave Blizzard this week, following an impressive seven years with the organization.
