The MCU/Black Knight

I mean, I’d love to. I don’t think there’s any plan to. I hate to break it to you, but I think he’s a wicked character. There’s a part of him, that whole Ebony Blade stuff, where the more he kills, the worse he gets, the more addicted. I think he’s such a great parable of addiction. And I think he’s someone who starts good, goes bad. I think he’s great. But we’ll see. I don’t know if there’s any plan.

Tomb Raider
Deadline reports Amazon’s upcoming Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner has broken UK safety laws as determined by Britain’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) while filming. According to the outlet, “HSE determined that Project Temple Productions Ltd failed to ensure that crew members underwent ‘biological monitoring’ to ensure adequate control measures were in place for the spraying of isocyanate paints, one of the leading causes of asthma in the workplace. HSE guidance states that appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when spraying isocyanate paints, and that an ‘invisible mist’ emitted by the substance can take up to 20 minutes to clear. An employer must know the clearance time for the space in which spraying is taking place.” Notably, Tomb Raider is just one of four productions called out by the health and safety administration in as many years.
