Kevin Feige confirms ‘Black Panther 2’

Marvel/Walt Disney Studios

Seems like a no-brainer that the box office success Black Panther will be getting a sequel. But now we get official world from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feige was quoted saying “We absolutely will do that.” But, as expected, he doesn’t reveal any plot secrets. There is a promise that it will flow organically from the first film because the filmmakers have discussed this even while making the first film.

"One of the favorite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a part one and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a part two," Feige said. "There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first 'Black Panther.' We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one."

New Switch update introduces tweaks to parental controls and ability to add social media friends

Nintendo has been busy updating its Switch and the latest one adds a few handy features. One is letting parents operate PIN entry using the joystick and button instead of using an on-screen keyboard and then some titles can be whitelisted for play beyond of the console’s restricted software settings. It is now also easier to add Twitter and Facebook friends who have Nintendo Accounts linked to them. The console also gets 24 new Arms and Kirby user icons. And it will start downloading games you’ve purchased on your PC or phone even if the system is asleep. Version 5.0.0 will also let the system notify you when pre-ordered games have been unlocked and it fixes an issue with the Switch hiding some older play activity data.
