If you haven’t seen Deadpool and Wolverine yet, we’ll refrain from stating how the film references Logan in both hilarious and poignant ways. Logan was originally intended as Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine performance before he changed his mind and returned for the third Deadpool movie. Now, Logan director James Mangold is weighing in on what he sees as a big problem for shared movie universes like the MCU.
“I don’t do multiverses,” said Mangold during an interview with Rolling Stone. “It’s weird that I’ve even worked in the world of IP entertainment because I don’t like multi-movie universe-building. It’s the enemy of storytelling. The death of storytelling. It’s more interesting to people the way the Legos connect than the way the story works in front of us.”
Mangold has p…
The first player rankings have been revealed ahead of NBA 2K25’s release on September 6, starting with the lowest 30 of the top 100 ranked players. 2K has also revealed this year’s top-ranked rookies, as well as some of the top-ranked WNBA players.
The highest ranked player revealed so far is WNBA cover star A’ja Wilson, who will receive a coveted 99 OVR at launch. Wilson’s 99 makes her the highest-rated WNBA player in NBA 2K history, and on par with the greats in the mens’ league–NBA 2K only rarely hands out 99 ratings and often launches without a single player rated 99, as happened last year.
The WNBA’s top five rookies have also been announced with some impressive OVRs. Breakout stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese both netted an impressive 90 OVR, now sharing the title o…

Jack Grealish believes the VAR is ruining the game after Aston Villa were denied a late equaliser against West Ham.
Having earlier missed a penalty on Monday, Ollie Watkins thought he had made it 2-2 in additional time, only for his strike to be ruled out by the VAR following a tight offside call.

But after further VAR controversy in the Premier League, Grealish said the system was hurting the game.

Chelsea scout Piet de Visser feels Jose Mourinho is to blame for Eden Hazard s underwhelming performances this campaign as he put too much pressure on the Belgium international by trying to turn him into an improved version of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Hazard was voted played of the season in 2014-15 as he guided Chelsea to Premier League and League Cup glory, but has been unable to replicate that form this term.
The 25-year-old has netted just twice 38 appearances in all competitions for the Stamford Bridge side and De Visser believes his problems are all down to Mourinho s approach.
Eden is a player who has moments of brilliance. Mourinho tried to turn him into an improved version of Messi or Ronaldo, but that is impossible, De Visser told HLN.

Tying Ronald Koeman down to a new contract must be Southampton s number one priority in the close-season, according to club legend Matt Le Tissier.
Koeman has impressed since taking over from Mauricio Pochettino ahead of the 2014-15 campaign, with the Saints still in with a chance of qualifying for the Europa League for the second season in a row.
The Dutchman s current deal expires in a little over 12 months time, with chairman Ralph Krueger saying earlier this month that talks over fresh terms were progressing well.
And Le Tissier has urged the St Mary s hierarchy to finalise those negotiations sooner rather than later.
He told the Daily Echo: The number one priority for me is to tie the manager down on a new contract.
I hope we get an anno…
