Variety has reported that Sony has pegged TV director S.J. Clarkson (Jessica Jones, The Defenders) for a new film project in Sony’s Marvel universe.

Cicadas Are Back After 17 Years, But Won’t Be In Animal Crossing Until July

If you’ve played any of the Animal Crossing games before New Horizons, then you’re no stranger to the mystical buzzing of the cicada. The loud summer bugs are a staple of the franchise and are finally returning to the real world after 17 years of underground development.
