BAs reported by Indiewire, Burr, who played Migs Mayfeld on the series, defended Carano on a recent episode of The Bill Bert Podcast.
“It’s a weird time,” he said. “Unless she did some truly horrible shit or said overtly racist s***.I don’t know. I think there is just too many channels. And then you gotta do sensational s***. I don’t know what the f*** it is. I’m on that f***ing show. Now, I gotta watch what the f*** I say.”

New WandaVision Funko Pops Available To Preorder — Check Them Out
Funko has revealed two new WandaVision figures, which will join a growing lineup of Pops based on the breakout Disney+ show. White Vision and Agatha Harkness Funko Pops will release this spring and are available to preorder now at multiple retailers.

You can check out the super-cool designs of the new Pop figures below.
Agatha Harkness Funko Pop
You can preorder the Agatha Harkness Funko Pop at GameStop and Entertainment Earth. GameStop’s preorders will ship on April 15, three months ahead of Entertainment Earth, but it costs $1 more.
White Vision Funko Pop
This slick White Vision Pop is also available to preorder at GameStop and Entertainment Earth. Like Agatha Harkness, it costs one buck more at GameStop, but you’ll get your preorder three months early. Walmart will have an exclusive edition that glows in the dark, but it’s not available to preorder just yet.
The original lineup of WandaVision Funko Pops was unveiled during Funko Fair 2021 in January. While some of those have already sold out of their first runs, several of them are still available to order:

Aliens: Fireteam Announcement Trailer Brings Xenomorphs To The Survival Shooter Genre
Colonial Marines will be back to screaming in space, where no one can hear them, with the release of Aliens: Fireteam. The third-person survival shooter is coming from Cold Iron Studios later this year, which the developer announced with a new trailer.
You can check out the announcement trailer below, which gives a quick sense of what Aliens: Fireteam is all about. The cooperative multiplayer game puts players back in the role of the Colonial Marines from James Cameron’s 1986 movie Aliens, as they fight hordes of deadly creatures in a desperate bid to say alive.
Cold Iron gave GameSpot an early look at Aliens: Fireteam ahead of its announcement, where we saw some of its survival gameplay and talked with developers about what to expect. You take on the role of a fresh Marine recruit (which you create in the game’s character creator) aboard the U.S.S. Endeavor some 23 years after the Alien film trilogy. After the Endeavor picks up a distress call, you find yourself investigating a colony planet and orbital refinery overrun by aliens.
