OnePlus release red version of the OnePlus 6

OnePlus just made official a new color variant for its current flagship: the OnePlus 6. The new color will simply be called Red. It takes off from the popularity of the Lava Red edition of the OnePlus 5T but the company wanted it to be “passionate with a level of visual restraint.” According to OnePlus, it wants the quality to be similar to amber but have “an enduring appeal that will last for years to come.”

Using a new film coating process, OnePlus was able to achieve that “amber-like depth and clarity.” The company also made use of a new evaporated layer of brightening film to get that glossy transparent layer over the red coating. This new color option will be exclusive to the 8GB/128GB variant but will carry the same $769 price tag as the other color options. It’ll be available in all markets where OnePlus phones are sold starting July 10.

The Wasp was supposed to have debuted in ‘Captain America: Civil War’

While Ant-Man and the Wasp properly put Evangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp as a central character in the film, her debut was supposed to have happened earlier, like Captain America: Civil War earlier. But Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed explained to IGN why this didn’t happen, “There was a point, really early on, where was going to be introduced in Civil War. But there just simply wasn’t screen time to do justice to that character, so we’ve done it here.”

And Marvel seemed to be aware of how late the introduction of The Wasp has been and that it really was a long time coming. “This whole movie was about putting her at the forefront and was about making good on the promise of the end of the last film where she says, 'About damn time.'" Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige tells ComicBook.com. "And that whole movie was about the fact that clearly she was qualified to put on a suit and do what was right but she kept being prevented by her father, for reasons that were revealed in that film and reasons that have to do with her mother and now, of course, she becomes the key hero to attempt to rescue her mom and seeing that father-daughter relationship repaired in this movie was something that was great fun for us and to see here step in the forefront.” What do you think? Would you have wanted to see The Wasp earlier? Let us know your thoughts when you see the film. Ant-Man and the Wasp comes to theatres starting July 6.
