Warhammer Adds Two Khazalite Regiments of Renown https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/warhammer-khazalite-regiments-renown https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/warhammer-khazalite-regiments-renown Warhammer Community has introduced two new Regiments of Renown for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, expanding the military options available to Grand Alliance Order armies. Announced on November 5, 2026, the formations come from the upcoming Khazalite Holds battletome and feature specialized duardin warriors, distinctive abilities, and additional battlefield support. The two formations are Fjori’s Vengeance and Thengin’s Grudgesettlers.

Both allow players to incorporate Khazalite forces into existing Order armies without committing to an entire Khazalite Holds army. Fjori’s Vengeance centers on Fjori, the last survivor of Guzanhold, who has assembled a group of mercenary Fyreslayers to avenge the destruction of his ancestral stronghold. As a Grimhold Exile, Fjori specializes in close combat and possesses an ability that allows him to reposition himself near a battlefield edge.

The formation introduces the Itinerant Grimmdron rule, which extends this mobility to his accompanying warriors. Once per battle, during the Deployment Phase, players can reposition the other units in the regiment after Fjori has used his Wrathful Wanderer ability.

Billy Evans Disputes Shower Scene Account in A24 Documentary https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/billy-evans-shower-scene-dispute https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/billy-evans-shower-scene-dispute A disagreement over a controversial nude shower scene in the documentary You Can See Everything has emerged after Billy Evans challenged director Lance Oppenheim's explanation of how the footage was filmed. Evans, the partner of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, rejected the account during an Ask Me Anything session on X on Monday.

The scene, which appears early in the documentary, shows Evans showering completely naked while apparently aware that cameras are recording him. Oppenheim previously told GQ that Evans had suggested filming the moment himself.

Responding on X, Evans rejected that version of events, calling it a "false narrative."

NewJeans Contracts Reveal Strict Control Over K Pop Stars https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/newjeans-contracts-kpop-control https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/newjeans-contracts-kpop-control Contracts signed by NewJeans members as teenagers have exposed restrictive practices within South Korea's K-pop industry, raising questions about artist protection, financial independence and corporate authority. Documents obtained by The New York Times and reviewed by legal experts reveal provisions that gave the group's label extensive control over its performers.

The five members signed their agreements when they were between 14 and 17 years old. The contracts included substantial financial penalties for leaving, allowed the label to continue selling the group's music after the agreements ended under reduced payment arrangements, and granted indefinite rights to use AI-generated versions of the members' voices.

The agreements also omitted protections included in the South Korean government's standard contract template. Those safeguards cover education, physical and mental health, adequate rest and protection against excessive working hours for underage performers.

NewJeans Contracts Expose Strict Control by K Pop Label https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/newjeans-contracts-label-control https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/newjeans-contracts-label-control Contracts signed by NewJeans members as teenagers reveal extensive restrictions on performers' personal freedom, education, finances and professional rights, exposing the degree of control exercised by South Korean entertainment companies. Documents obtained by The New York Times show that Ador, a Hybe subsidiary, secured provisions that experts consider unusually restrictive.

The five members, Hanni Pham, Minji Kim, Hyein Lee, Haerin Kang and Danielle Marsh, signed their agreements between the ages of 14 and 17, before achieving international recognition. Their contracts departed from the South Korean government's standard guidelines for protecting young performers.

The agreements omitted protections covering physical and mental health, education, sleep, rest and personal choice. They also prohibited conduct described as an insincere attitude, inappropriate romantic relationships and criticism of the record label.

The divorce case, filed in Riverside County in 2025, remains unresolved, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Bridget Norris filed the petition, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending their marriage.

She listed October 27, 2001, as their wedding date and January 15, 2025, as their separation date. The couple have five children together, including two minors identified in the filing as Zoe, 17, and Dean, 16. Bridget requested joint legal and physical custody of their children, along with spousal support.

She also asked the court to determine each party's rights to property acquired during the marriage. Court records indicate that Dean later submitted a response, although the divorce had not been finalized at the time of TMZ's report.

The elaborate transformation, commissioned by director Ryan Murphy, recreated Close’s appearance through prosthetics, makeup and coordinated fashion.

The appearance marked the first time Stone had met someone he was impersonating while fully transformed. Close and Stone wore nearly identical custom outfits from Matières Fécales, inspired by the fashion label’s September runway collection.

Close wore a coat dress made from Burkina Faso fabric, while Stone appeared in a matching blazer and skirt. Both completed the looks with icy-white bob hairstyles, similar blush placement, matching lipstick shades and coordinated expressions for the cameras.

John Goodman Details Challenges After Losing 200 Pounds https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/john-goodman-weight-loss-challenges https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/john-goodman-weight-loss-challenges Actor John Goodman is still adapting to major physical changes after losing 200 pounds, explaining how the transformation affected his confidence and nearly led him to reject a role in the television series Righteous Gemstones. The 74-year-old actor discussed the experience on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

Goodman said concerns about his changed appearance made him hesitant about accepting the role, particularly because he believed the production might require him to appear naked.

"I thought I was going to have to be naked in it and I said, 'I don't know. My body's too messed up losing all this weight,'" Goodman explained on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

Johnny Depp Reopens Door to Pirates of the Caribbean Return https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/depp-pirates-franchise-return https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/depp-pirates-franchise-return Johnny Depp has indicated he may reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, years after stepping away from the film series. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published Monday, the actor said a return could happen if the production meets his expectations for the franchise's final chapter. Depp previously maintained that nothing would persuade him to return following his highly publicized legal dispute with former wife Amber Heard.

He successfully sued Heard for defamation over abuse allegations published in The Washington Post, a dispute that contributed to the franchise's prolonged absence from theaters. The actor now appears more open to working on another installment, particularly if longtime producer Jerry Bruckheimer remains involved. Depp emphasized that any potential comeback would depend on the direction and quality of the production.

"If things are exactly where they need to be with regard to how they are going to top off the 'Pirates.' The only involvement I really want to have, truly, is just to send them off on a better note," Depp told Entertainment Tonight.

Disney Plans Thousands of Layoffs to Cut Costs by 20 Percent https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/disney-thousands-layoffs-cost-cuts https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/disney-thousands-layoffs-cost-cuts Walt Disney Co. is preparing thousands of additional job reductions as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative targeting 20% savings, according to Bloomberg on November 3, 2026. The proposed measures could combine workforce reductions with lower operating expenses as the entertainment company reassesses its spending.

People familiar with the private discussions told Bloomberg that eliminating positions and reducing other expenses are both under consideration. They requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly.

The broader restructuring follows a separate round of layoffs affecting approximately 100 to 200 employees in Disney's Experiences division, according to a report published by Yahoo Finance on October 28, 2026.

Disneyland Converts Autopia Ride to Electric Vehicles https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/disneyland-autopia-electric-vehicles https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/disneyland-autopia-electric-vehicles Disneyland will replace the gasoline-powered cars at Autopia with electric vehicles next year, ending a decades-long era for the 71-year-old attraction in Anaheim, California. The transition comes as the ride faces California's strict emissions regulations and concerns over exhaust pollution in Tomorrowland.

Autopia is the only surviving original attraction in Tomorrowland. According to The New York Times, its current fleet uses 8.5-horsepower Honda four-stroke engines, similar to those found in generators and industrial pressure washers.

The vehicles operate for up to 16 hours a day, producing substantial noise and exhaust. Their emissions create a localized smog environment above Tomorrowland, which also features attractions such as Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.

Erin Benavides Dies at 54 in Texas Home https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/erin-benavides-dies-texas https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/erin-benavides-dies-texas A former Texas prosecutor whose name became widely known during a 2010 celebrity relationship controversy has died at 54. Erin Benavides was found dead inside a residence in Port Aransas, Texas, on October 14, after police conducted a welfare check prompted by a concerning message sent to a friend of her husband. According to the San Antonio Express-News, officers entered the residence after forcing their way inside and discovered Benavides deceased with an apparent self-inflicted injury.

Authorities do not suspect foul play, although the investigation remains active. Benavides previously gained public attention following allegations involving former San Antonio Spurs player Tony Parker and his then-wife, actress Eva Longoria. At the time, Benavides was married to Brent Barry, Parker's former teammate with the Spurs.

The controversy emerged in 2010 after Longoria reportedly discovered hundreds of text messages between Parker and another woman. Media reports subsequently identified that woman as Benavides, bringing the situation into widespread public attention.

Disneyland Converts Autopia Ride From Gasoline to Electric https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/disneyland-autopia-electric-conversion https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/disneyland-autopia-electric-conversion Disneyland will replace the gasoline-powered engines in its Autopia attraction with electric motors, bringing a 71-year-old Tomorrowland ride into the era of electric vehicles. The conversion is planned for sometime in 2027 at the Anaheim, California, theme park, where the attraction's exhaust emissions have become an environmental concern under state regulations.

Autopia has operated since 1955, when Walt Disney introduced 40 miniature, brightly colored cars that allowed children to steer around a dedicated track using real gas pedals. The attraction reflected America's growing enthusiasm for automobiles during a period of expanding suburbs, rising car sales and the development of the interstate highway system.

Today, Autopia remains the only surviving original attraction in Disneyland's Tomorrowland section. However, its gasoline-powered operation conflicts with California's stringent emissions regulations, prompting the planned transition to electric vehicles.

Martha Stewart Apologizes for Homeless Halloween Costume https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/stewart-homeless-costume-apology https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/stewart-homeless-costume-apology A Halloween costume worn by Martha Stewart has prompted public criticism after the television personality portrayed a homeless person in a social media post. The 85-year-old entrepreneur apologized on Instagram on Sunday, acknowledging that her outfit was insensitive to people experiencing economic hardship.

Stewart initially defended the costume as an attempt to raise awareness about homelessness. However, she later issued a more direct apology, admitting that her earlier response had not adequately addressed the concerns.

In the original Instagram photograph, which was subsequently deleted, Stewart wore ripped jeans, a torn sweater and makeup that made her face appear dirty. She also held a clipboard displaying the message, “I Am Hungry Help Me!!”

Waititi Blames Film Critics for Klara and the Sun Failure https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/waititi-klara-sun-box-office https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/waititi-klara-sun-box-office Filmmaker Taika Waititi has criticized professional movie reviewers following the disappointing box-office performance of Klara and the Sun, his adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel. In a social media post published around Halloween, the Jojo Rabbit director questioned critics' credibility and defended his preference for audience reactions over professional reviews.

The film, which reportedly cost $44 million (£32.8 million) to produce, generated only $701,000 (£523,000) during its opening weekend in North America. According to box-office figures cited by The Guardian, the release averaged just under $800 (£596) per theater across 880 locations, placing it 16th overall.

Waititi directed his criticism at reviewers whom he believes have lost touch with ordinary moviegoers. He also referenced negative reactions to his earlier work, particularly his 2019 film Jojo Rabbit.

Jenny McCarthy Moves Into Tent After Mold Poisoning Diagnosis https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/jenny-mccarthy-tent-mold-poisoning https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/jenny-mccarthy-tent-mold-poisoning Health concerns following suspected mold exposure have led television personality Jenny McCarthy to sleep in a tent outside her California home. The 53-year-old described the situation on her podcast, The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show, explaining that a mycotoxin poisoning diagnosis and persistent fears about mold have disrupted her daily life.

McCarthy believes her health problems began after spending time in an old dressing room equipped with an air conditioning system she described as dating back to 1950. She suspects mold in the room contributed to her illness.

According to McCarthy, her symptoms included a root canal infection, chalazions, skin rashes, swelling, insomnia, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. She also became concerned after her makeup artist, who regularly worked with her in the same dressing room, began experiencing health problems.

Skarsgård's Wicker Husband Sparks Debate Among Basket Makers https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/wicker-husband-basketmakers-debate https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/wicker-husband-basketmakers-debate A fictional basket-bodied romantic lead has sparked an unexpected debate among traditional craftspeople after Alexander Skarsgård portrayed the Wicker Husband in the romantic comedy Wicker. The character's unconventional construction has prompted basket makers to question its materials and weaving techniques, while the film's special effects team has defended its creative approach.

The main controversy concerns the character's apparent construction. Some traditional artisans argue that his body does not resemble conventional wickerwork because it uses neither willow nor traditional basket-weaving methods.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines wicker as “thin sticks of wood twisted together to make baskets, furniture etc”.

Activision Removes Itaewon Disaster Footage From Modern Warfare 4 https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/activision-removes-itaewon-footage https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/activision-removes-itaewon-footage Activision will remove footage of the deadly 2022 Itaewon crowd crush from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 following protests from victims' families and civic organizations in South Korea. The footage appeared in the game's opening cinematic to depict civilian casualties during a fictional North Korean invasion.

The American game publisher confirmed that the material would be removed in the next game update after criticism intensified following the October 23, 2026, global release. The controversy centered on real broadcast images showing emergency responders performing CPR, victims lying in the street, body bags, and people being transported on stretchers.

The Itaewon disaster occurred during Halloween celebrations in Seoul's nightlife district in 2022. A crowd of more than 100,000 people gathered in narrow alleyways, where severe congestion prevented people from moving freely and left some unable to breathe. At least 160 people were ultimately recognized as victims, according to reports from The Guardian and BBC.

Patrick Stewart Dies at 86 After Defining Star Trek Legacy https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/patrick-stewart-star-trek-legacy https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/patrick-stewart-star-trek-legacy Patrick Stewart, the British stage and screen actor who became internationally famous as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 86. His death from Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia was announced on social media, according to the published report.

Stewart built a distinguished career in Shakespearean theater before transitioning to television science fiction in middle age. His portrayal of Picard, a composed and principled starship captain, introduced him to a broad American television audience when the series debuted in 1987.

Star Trek: The Next Generation ran for seven seasons in first-run syndication and earned 18 Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award. Stewart later reprised Picard in four feature films and returned to the character in Star Trek: Picard, a sequel series that premiered in 2020 and ran for three seasons.

Josh O’Connor Emerges as a Contender for James Bond https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/oconnor-james-bond-contender https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/oconnor-james-bond-contender Josh O’Connor has emerged as a compelling candidate to play James Bond in the franchise’s next film, offering a different interpretation of the British secret agent as the series prepares for a new era. The actor was among several performers named in a Hollywood Reporter report about auditions, alongside Jack Lowden and Callum Turner, as filmmakers consider the character’s future.

The casting discussion comes after Denis Villeneuve was announced as director of the next Bond film last year. Amazon acquired the rights to revive the franchise nearly two years ago, following Daniel Craig’s final appearance as the spy, which ended with the character’s death on screen.

O’Connor’s appeal lies in a combination of unconventional looks, restrained intensity, and an understated sense of sophistication. Poppy Sowerby described his screen presence as having “an angular broodiness, a wiry weirdness.”

Sacha Baron Cohen Ends Risky Comedy Style With New Ali G Film https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/cohen-ends-risky-comedy-ali-g https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/cohen-ends-risky-comedy-ali-g Sacha Baron Cohen plans to leave behind the provocative, character-driven comedy that established his career after completing his latest film, Ali G: Who Iz I?. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 55-year-old actor explained that the physically demanding production and growing concerns about misinformation and political extremism influenced his decision to stop making films in this style.

Cohen said he would not pursue a third Borat movie, despite acknowledging that such a project would present significant creative challenges. He described his latest production as the most challenging film he has ever made, marking what he considers the end of this particular phase of his career.

The actor previously considered stepping away from this form of comedy but returned to the character after becoming increasingly concerned about society's direction. He said his films aim to expose extremism across the political spectrum and examine the dangers of violence justified by moral convictions.

Larry David Described Seinfeld as Torture Under Creative Pressure https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/larry-david-seinfeld-creative-pressure https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/larry-david-seinfeld-creative-pressure Creative pressure made producing Seinfeld a deeply stressful experience for co-creator Larry David, according to biographer Blake J. Harris, who discussed the comedian's struggles in an October 23 episode of Obsessed: The Podcast. David's determination to maintain the sitcom's quality reportedly made the work difficult as the NBC series approached its fifth season in 1993.

Harris details these challenges in Emperor of Nothing: The Making of Larry David, a biography examining the comedian's career and the personal and professional pressures that shaped his success. David, who co-created Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld, later became widely known for Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Harris explained that David's distress stemmed largely from the expectations he placed on himself while developing material for the show.

Whitney, whose real name is Daniel Whitney, recalled watching a DirecTV commercial featuring an actor and questioning why the satellite television provider had not approached him for a campaign.

"Larry the Cable Guy has switched to DirecTV" was the advertising concept he suggested, recalling his reaction to the commercial.

According to the report by InStyle, Hatcher's new hairstyle features a blunt cut that reaches her chin, with platinum-blonde highlights that catch the stage lights. She completed the look with a structured, stiletto-red pantsuit featuring glossy accents along the sides of the jacket.

ABC Affiliates Challenge Disney's Super Bowl LXI Broadcast Plan https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/abc-affiliates-challenge-disney-broadcast-plan https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/abc-affiliates-challenge-disney-broadcast-plan Disney's plan to distribute Super Bowl LXI across multiple television networks and streaming platforms has sparked opposition from ABC broadcast affiliates, who fear the expanded coverage could reduce advertising revenue. The proposal includes ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, NFL Network, Disney Channel, Disney+, and Disney XD, according to CNBC's Alex Sherman.

Sherman reported that the distribution strategy could reduce advertising revenue associated with broadcast viewership by up to 35% compared with the previous year. ABC affiliates are concerned that audiences could shift from the primary broadcast to alternative channels and platforms, weakening the financial value of their local television operations.

An unnamed station group CEO told Sherman that the issue was not the decision to expand distribution but the financial consequences for individual outlets.

The collection brings Daft Punk into Lego's lineup of musical acts represented through brick-built figures. The duo joins the Beatles and the Spice Girls among the musicians whose identities have been recreated in Lego form, according to Pitchfork.

The pyramid stage serves as the central inspiration for the collaboration, connecting the collection to one of Daft Punk's most recognizable visual designs. The original fan proposal asked Lego to recreate the stage associated with the duo's 2007 live tour.

Travis Kelce Recalls Jason's Early Morning Workout Call https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/kelce-brothers-early-morning-workout-call https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/kelce-brothers-early-morning-workout-call An early morning workout request from Jason Kelce caught his younger brother, Travis Kelce, off guard and prompted a blunt reaction from Taylor Swift. During the Oct. 21 episode of the New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end described how a 7:30 a.m. phone call initially made him fear that his brother had been injured. Jason, a 38-year-old retired NFL star, had called to ask Travis to spot him during a bench press session as part of his participation in Squatober.

Travis said he initially imagined a medical emergency before learning that his brother simply needed help at the gym. Travis explained that he already knew Jason was participating in the fitness challenge and had discussed the weight equipment available in his basement. Jason subsequently traveled to Kansas City, Missouri, bringing two 25-pound weights to support his squat training.

Travis described his brother's decision to bring the weights as an amusing example of his enthusiasm for lifting. The equipment, however, was only part of the brothers' workout-related plans.

Sacha Baron Cohen Joins Beck for Surprise Cello Performance https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/cohen-beck-surprise-cello-performance https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/cohen-beck-surprise-cello-performance Actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen surprised television viewers on Tuesday, October 20, by joining musician Beck's string ensemble on cello during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The unannounced appearance accompanied a performance of In the Night, a track from Beck's latest album, while Cohen was promoting his upcoming film, Ali G: Who Iz I?, amid renewed criticism of the character's racial humor.

According to Latenighter, Cohen appeared among an eight-member string section without being introduced or mentioned during his interview with Fallon. His participation offered a rare public glimpse of his musical background, which predates the characters that established his reputation in comedy.

Beck performed In the Night from Ride Lonesome, released through Capitol Records in September 2026, according to Yahoo Entertainment. The album is his first collection of entirely new material since 2019's Hyperspace and draws on the atmospheric sound associated with his 2015 Grammy-winning album of the year, Morning Phase, and 2002's Sea Change.

Grace Campbell Says Alastair Campbell Hated Celebrity Gogglebox https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/grace-campbell-alastair-gogglebox https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/grace-campbell-alastair-gogglebox Alastair Campbell found his 2023 appearance on Channel 4's Celebrity Gogglebox frustrating, while his daughter, comedian Grace Campbell, enjoyed the experience. In interviews published on October 20, 2026, Grace explained that her 69-year-old father struggled with the filming process and became increasingly impatient with production delays, despite joining his 32-year-old daughter for the celebrity television series. According to interviews with BANG Showbiz published by Female First, Metro and AOL, the pair spent hours filming their reactions to television programs and movies but were barely featured in the finished broadcast.

Grace said the limited screen time added to her father's dissatisfaction with the experience. Grace described her father's reaction to the production process, explaining that the time required to prepare cameras and equipment tested his patience. She said she was happy to participate, but he had little enthusiasm for the format and had never watched the show before appearing on it.

Grace told BANG Showbiz, "My dad hated it from start to finish. He did not enjoy it."

River Cartwright Survives Poisoning in Slow Horses Season Six https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/river-cartwright-poisoning-season-six https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/river-cartwright-poisoning-season-six River Cartwright survives a poisoning attack at the end of Slow Horses season six, although the incident leaves him with lingering health problems that could limit his appearance in the next season. The finale places the MI5 agent at his grandfather's old house, where he encounters a poisoned metal handle while searching for Sidonie, his fellow spy and love interest. The substance causes River to struggle for breath and collapse on the floor while Sid remains unaware of the danger upstairs.

According to the novels by Mick Herron, Russian assassins use a nerve agent against River, but he survives after Sid discovers him and secures help. The attack has consequences beyond the immediate emergency. River experiences vision problems, fatigue, and dizziness during his recovery, leaving him unable to return to active duty straight away.

In Bad Actors, the eighth novel in Herron's series, River remains on medical leave while recovering from the poisoning. The storyline provides a basis for a reduced role for the character in the television adaptation's seventh season.

VisionQuest Reveals Jocasta's Origin and Targets in Episode Four https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/visionquest-jocasta-origin-episode-four https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/visionquest-jocasta-origin-episode-four Vision and Ultron uncover the identity and motives of a dangerous artificial intelligence in the fourth episode of Marvel's VisionQuest, released on October 20, 2026. The episode reveals that the killer known as Butcherbird is Josephine Carrington, a scientist presumed to have died in 2008 who now operates in a synthetic body under the name Jocasta.

According to Polygon's October 21 report, Jocasta targets former colleagues who helped develop the original architecture for stable artificial intelligence consciousness. The research later became part of the technology Stark Industries used to create AI systems, including J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron.

Investigators discover that Jocasta collects biological identifiers from her victims, including blood, fingerprints, and an eye. These biometric keys appear necessary to unlock an undisclosed system or capability, although the episode does not establish precisely what she intends to access.

Embark Studios Weighs Future of Arc Raiders PvE Mode https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/embark-studios-arc-raiders-pve https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/embark-studios-arc-raiders-pve Embark Studios is reviewing player feedback and test data after concluding a player-versus-environment (PvE) matchmaking trial for Arc Raiders, an extraction shooter. The studio said it will prioritize the game's overall health and enjoyment when deciding whether to retain or change the mode, with further information expected in November.

In a post on the official Arc Raiders website, Embark Studios thanked players who completed more than 30 million PvE rounds during the trial. The studio said it needs additional time to evaluate the results and community responses before determining the next steps.

Embark Studios acknowledged that reactions to the experiment have been divided. The weeklong test prompted criticism from players who felt that removing player-versus-player encounters weakened the tension, while others welcomed the opportunity to experience the game primarily through PvE gameplay.

VisionQuest Puts Ultron in Control of Vision's Body https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/visionquest-ultron-controls-vision https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/visionquest-ultron-controls-vision Marvel's VisionQuest escalates its conflict between artificial intelligences as Ultron takes control of Vision's body, kills Katerina Wells, and leaves with Tommy in the series' fourth episode. The developments connect the show's investigation into the Butcherbird mystery with Ultron's apparent desire to escape the confines of Vision's mind. According to Yahoo's October 21, 2026, coverage, episodes three and four follow Vision and other artificial intelligences as they investigate the disappearance of employees connected to the same company.

Their inquiries lead Vision, Tommy, and Lisa to a gala hosted by Wells, the only surviving member of an executive team targeted by Butcherbird. The investigation reveals that Butcherbird is actually Jo Carrington, the company's deceased former CEO. She transforms into Jocasta and attacks Vision, whose abilities remain limited, while Tommy continues to struggle with controlling his superhuman speed.

Ultron tells Vision that his concern for Tommy's safety is preventing him from fighting effectively. Vision allows Ultron to take control, but the decision quickly turns disastrous: Ultron causes Wells to be vaporized, frustrates Jocasta's pursuit of revenge, and takes command of Vision's mental landscape before departing with Tommy.

Published on October 20, 2026, the book follows the former military police officer as he travels to Summertown, Colorado, after General Susan Turner seeks his help investigating the murder of an undercover team member. The novel follows Exit Strategy, published in 2025, and combines a Pentagon investigation with an unusual rural setting.

According to Collider's October 19 report, the story involves a murder, potential institutional threats, artificial intelligence, corporate espionage, and a wider conspiracy. Turner, now a general based at the Pentagon, returns to the series when the death of a member of her elite team leaves her unable to rely on colleagues within her own department. She turns to Reacher because of his investigative abilities and established moral code.

The character previously led the 110th Military Police Special Investigations Unit. Her return also reconnects the novel with Never Go Back, the Reacher story adapted into a 2016 film starring Tom Cruise, with Cobie Smulders playing Turner.

Jacob Elordi Emerges as James Bond Frontrunner Amid Fan Backlash https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/jacob-elordi-james-bond-casting-report https://www.cirebontimes.com/en/jacob-elordi-james-bond-casting-report Jacob Elordi has emerged as the rumored frontrunner to play James Bond in the franchise's next film after entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider claimed the screen-testing process had concluded. The October 21 report from ComicBook.com named Elordi and Scottish actor Jack Lowden among the candidates, but Amazon MGM Studios has not confirmed a casting decision or announced Daniel Craig's successor.

Sneider claimed Elordi had secured the role and that an official announcement would come soon. The report has fueled debate among fans about whether the 29-year-old Australian actor fits the British secret agent, although the studio has not verified the claim.

Online reactions have included criticism of Elordi's suitability for the character, with one fan calling the rumored choice "Temu 007." Some viewers questioned whether he could embody Bond, while others objected to an Australian actor potentially taking the role of the famously British spy.
