Avengers 4 directors Joe and Anthony Russo have confirmed that X-Men and Deadpool will definitely arrive in the MCU... ... and it's all thanks to that Disney-Fox deal. "I’m sure of it," Joe Russo said during Business Insider Ignition (via Deadline). "The acquisition of Fox is showing us where the future of the business is going to go." Joe went on to say that Disney CEO Bob Iger has had a "historic" run, adding: "We haven’t talked to him about when he is going to do it." In September, Iger addressed whether Marvel is going absorb the X-Men franchise, and if Kevin Feige will oversee everything. "I think it only makes sense," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I want to be careful here because of what's been communicated to the Fox folks, but I think they know. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels." When asked if that meant Deadpool could one day b...

The World Bank said the move, coinciding with a UN climate summit meeting of some 200 nations in Poland, represented a "significantly ramped up ambition" to tackle climate change, "sending an important signal to the wider global community to do the same."

Now, the Argentinian forward has said that he is delighted with his new stat. Barcelona won 2-1 against PSV as Messi and Gerard Pique scored the goals for the Blaugrana.

Washington:  NASA chief Jim Bridenstine elaborated this week on the reasons why the US space agency launched a safety review of SpaceX and Boeing, which are building spaceships for astronauts, including their workplace culture and drug-free policies. Although NASA initially declined to confirm media reports that the review was prompted by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's appearance on a filmed podcast in which he was smoking a joint, Bridenstine admitted Thursday, during a roundtable with reporters, it "was not helpful." He added that he was the one who called for the safety review, announced November 20, of the two companies tasked with building the spacecraft that will enable Americans once again to send people to space -- a capacity the US lost in 2011 with the retirement of the space shuttle program. "We've had a number of conversations," Bridenstine was quoted as telling The Atlantic magazine. "I will tell you, he (Musk) is as committed to safe...
