We might not see Rosario Dawson in Marvel TV universe soon

 

For followers of the MCU x Netflix Marvel shows, you know how instrumental Rosario Dawson’s character Claire Temple has been for this universe. She has been described as the glue that’s kept the different vigilantes turned superheroes in the Marvel TV universe. We get to see her again with Luke Cage premieres next month (on June 22, to be exact) but it looks like Dawson is ready to call it quits. She told Screen Geek, “Yeah, its [sic] pretty wild actually. I don’t know if I’ll be back after this, to be honest, but it’s been an amazing few years. I’ve been on a lot of different shows. I mean, I don’t know if maybe they do a third season of Luke Cage potentially, or maybe if they figure out some kind of way for me to be on The Punisher—just so I can feel like I’ve done every show. But it’s been like, my daughter is high school, so I kinda wanna’ not be 3000 miles away for work.”

We won’t fault her for wanting to take a break, especially after appearing on most of the Netflix Marvel shows. And perhaps with The Defenders finally in contact with each other, there would be less need for Claire to be around. It’ll give the actress time for her family. Let’s just hope Marvel doesn’t pull an Infinity War on us and do anything too drastic.

Apple Watch AirPod holders exist, because why not?

Accessories can be useful and fashionable—sometimes you get one without the other. In this case we might be leaning towards the former. Elago created a US$14.99 (around CA$20) silicone Wrist Fit band that can slide on “most” 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch bands and hold your AirPods for you. It’s not the most elegant execution but again, some people might find some use for these.

Apple's HomePod speaker coming to Canada on June 18

A year after they debuted at WWDC 2017 and six months after they went on sale in the US, Apple's Siri-powered speaker is finally coming to Canada. The long wait would have been well worth it for Canadians looking to sink $449 into the Apple Music connected speaker because a new software update now makes it capable of creating stereo pair and multi-room functionality.

This is thanks to an update in iOS 11.4 which brings AirPlay 2 as well as compatibility with other AirPlay 2-enabled speakers when they become available, "so Siri can control music playing on speakers from Bang & Olufsen, Bluesound, Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Libratone, Marantz, Marshall, Naim, Pioneer and Sonos."
