Twitter introduces new Bookmarks feature

Ever liked a tweet just so you could read later what the attached link says but don’t necessarily agree with the tweet’s content? Now, you don’t have to have to like weird or sketchy tweets with a new Bookmarks feature. As the name suggests, it’ll let you save a tweet for later reading. Twitter explains in a press release: "To bookmark a Tweet, tap the share icon under the Tweet and select, 'Add Tweet to Bookmarks.' To find it later, tap 'Bookmarks' from your profile icon menu. You can remove Tweets from your Bookmarks at any time." The feature is rolling out to iOS and Android apps, Twitter Lite, and mobile.twitter.com.

If rumours are anything to go by, it seems Warner Bros. has their eye on actress and comedian Kristen Wiig to take on the villain role in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. Wiig is being tipped to be the top choice to play Cheetah in the sequel but Warner Bros. isn’t commenting on the possible casting news. The movie is slated for a November 1, 2019 release so finding someone to fill in an important role is key.

According to insiders, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has always had Wiig on top of her list to play that part and she has let the actress know before she left to scout for locations for the film. Wiig reportedly had a recent meeting with top execs from Warner Bros. about this project. Guess we’ll find out soon enough if the next Wonder Woman film has found its baddie.
