Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Last week Disney pushed Avengers: Doomsday from its May 1, 2026 release to December 18, 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars from May 7, 2027 to December 18, 2027. The studio also removed several unannounced Marvel titles from its release calendar: a February 13, 2026 dated release has been removed entirely while November 2026 and 2027 releases have been rebranded from untitled Marvel films, to untitled Disney films.Memorial Day weekend's $326.7 million haul at the domestic box office was enough to earn it the title of the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend ever, with newcomer, Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch remake leading the way with $183 million, overtaking Top Gun: Maverick's $160 million weekend from 2022. Speaking of Tom Cruise, he was no slouch either, with the Mission: Impossible franchise's latest and supposed final installment, The Final Reckoning, earning a franchise high of $77.5 million.While appearing on a recent episode of The Box Office Podcast, Ryan Reynolds revealed he pitched an R-rated Star Wars film to Disney, saying, “I pitched to Disney, I said, ‘Why don't we do an R-rated “Star Wars” property? It doesn't have to be overt, A+ characters. There's a wide range of characters you could use,'” he said. “And I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that.” The Deadpool actor clarified the film would not be for him to star in, but contribute behind the scenes by writing and producing. Notably absent from the conversation is Disney's reception to the pitch.After an extensive search auditioning more than 30,000 actors, HBO's Harry Potter series has finally found its Harry, Hermoine and Ron, as Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout have been cast in the respective roles.

True personalization is here – connecting with FinovateSpring Best of Show winner Finalytics on their award-winning solution. Detailed Summary: This episode of the Finovate Podcast features Craig McLaughlin (CEO) and Baron Conway (CSO) of Finalytics, a Best of Show winner at FinovateSpring. They join host Greg Palmer to talk about how their platform delivers real-time AI-driven personalization across digital channels by combining behavioral data with transactional and third-party data to create uniquely relevant experiences for each user in both authenticated and unauthenticated environments. This enables financial institutions to optimize marketing spend, improve conversion rates through personalized experiences, and provide full-funnel reporting that tracks customer journeys from first click to funded dollars. Finalytics focuses exclusively on credit unions and community banks because these institutions have traditionally centered their business models around member relationships. The platform helps translate the personalized, human-centered service typically found in physical branches into the digital realm. By creating tailored experiences—such as showing refinancing tools to mortgage browsers, reminding users of abandoned applications, or displaying financial literacy content to Gen Z members—Finalytics helps these institutions maintain their relationship-focused approach in digital channels while driving measurable business outcomes. The episode closes with a look toward the future. Both Craig and Baron believe AI will fundamentally transform banking within five years. Craig predicts a shift from traditional information architecture to contextual experiences where relevant content finds the user rather than users searching for content, while Baron suggests the power is shifting from financial institutions to individuals, comparing the impact of AI to that of the Gutenberg press. Both emphasize that financial institutions must embrace these technologies to remain competitive, asserting that those who fail to adapt "won't be here" in the future.

Hearing the voice of God is the most significant task of all Christian discipleship. The beautiful, brilliant, powerful sound of God brings light into the cosmos, the sun, the moon and the stars. Not only does God speak, but when He speaks, the impossible becomes possible and logic gets defied. God's words in and of themselves contain everything that is needed for everything. The problem today is not that God is on mute, muzzled, shy and introverted, it is that we are busy, hurried, rush, distracted and got our headphones in. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”John 10:14-18We'd love for you to subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications to get updates on our latest content and resources that will help more people know Jesus and people know Jesus more.GIVE : We believe that generosity is golden.

Karen Read Defense FLOPS in Cross-Examination! Paramedic's ‘I Hit Him' Claim Stands Strong! Katie McLaughlin, a Canton firefighter-paramedic, took the stand on May 5, 2025, and dropped a bombshell that had the courtroom buzzing. She testified that when she arrived at the snowy scene where John O'Keefe's body was found on January 29, 2022, she heard Karen Read repeatedly say, “I hit him, I hit him, I hit him.” This was huge for the prosecution, who've been hammering the narrative that Read, drunk and angry, backed her Lexus SUV into her boyfriend, O'Keefe, and left him to die in a blizzard. McLaughlin's testimony painted a vivid picture of a frantic Read, her words sounding like a confession to the crime. She described the chaos of the scene—snow falling, O'Keefe unresponsive, and Read's voice cutting through the cold air with those three damning words. The prosecution leaned hard into McLaughlin's credibility. As a first responder, she had no skin in the game, no reason to lie. Her role was to save lives, not pick sides, and her recollection of Read's statements felt raw and unfiltered. She didn't waver under direct examination, sticking to her story that Read's words were clear and unmistakable. The prosecution used this to reinforce their case: Read's own mouth betrayed her, admitting guilt at the scene. They also tied it to other witnesses, like Timothy Nuttall, who'd testified earlier about hearing similar statements, building a pattern that's tough to dismiss. McLaughlin's calm, professional demeanor made her a rock-solid witness, and you could feel the defense sweating as they prepped for their shot at her. When Alan Jackson, Read's defense attorney, got up for cross-examination, he tried to poke holes, but it was like trying to punch through concrete. He likely grilled McLaughlin on the chaotic scene—snow, noise, emotions running high—to suggest her memory might be fuzzy. Maybe he pushed on whether she could've misheard Read or if someone else said something similar. But McLaughlin didn't budge, and the search results don't hint at any major slip-ups. Jackson's strategy has been to paint first responders as part of a cover-up or to highlight inconsistencies, but McLaughlin's testimony aligned too well with others for him to gain traction. The defense's failure to shake her left them scrambling, and the prosecution walked away with a win, knowing those “I hit him” words would stick in the jurors' minds. #KarenReadTrial #KatieMcLaughlin #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #ProsecutionWins #DefenseFails #CourtroomDrama #CantonMA #TrueCrime #WitnessTestimony Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
