Lando

Just a few weeks before release, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse had a different ending. That original ending is still in the movie, but now it comes a few seconds earlier. With the movie nearing completion, the filmmakers realized their ending didn’t work as intended, a change had to be made, and a whole new ending was created. One that drew inspiration from a galaxy far, far away.io9 Interview: Oscar Isaac Was 'All In' on Moon KnightSpeaking to Collider, Across the Spider-Verse directors Kemp Powers, Joaquim Dos…

Donald Glover has become one of those artists when, if his name is attached, you expect a certain level of quality.

Some of the most significant breakthroughs in artificial intelligence are inspired by nature and the RL paradigm is no exception. This simple yet powerful concept is closest to how we humans learn and can be seen as an essential element of what we would expect from an artificial general intelligence: Learning through trial and error. This approach to learning teaches us about cause and effect, and how our actions impact our environment. It teaches us how our behaviour can either harm or benefit us, and enables us to…

Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo.Image: LucasfilmLet’s face facts. The odds of Alden Ehrenreich returning to the role of Han Solo probably aren’t great. Solo: A Star Wars Story was successful, but not to the level of its Star Wars predecessors. And while appreciation for the movie has grown in the years since its release, you just get the sense that Lucasfilm is done with it, even with a potential Lando show floating in the air. However, Ehrenreich has always said he could come back if asked—and in a new interview, he gave a…
