In addition to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and its limitless potential for cameos, the MCU is also set to receive Thor: Love and Thunder , Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , as well as She-Hulk and Secret Invasion on Disney+. Still, there are several confirmed projects fans have heard little about since their announcement, including  Deadpool 3  starring Ryan Reynolds. After two R-rated films with Fox in 2016 and 2018, the Deadpool threequel was in question after Disney's merger with Fox; and while Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed Wade Wilson's place in the MCU, any further information has been vague at best.  ADVERTISEMENT Now, thankfully, that has changed.

Charlie Cox Reacts to Disney+’s Marvel-Netflix News With R-Rated Hopes

Image
Headlines were recently made that all the former Netflix Marvel shows would be leaving the Big N permanently and arriving at a new residence, Disney+, on March 16. This includes the likes of Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , Iron Fist , The Defenders , and The Punisher . Needless to say, fans were equally excited and surprised. For one, it’s exciting to have all of these characters under the same streaming umbrella—even if their general MCU canonicity is still up for debate. However, all of them have some pretty mature content in them. ADVERTISEMENT There’s the extreme violence found in Daredevil and Punisher , PTSD from rape in Jessica Jones , and the spotlighted racial issues in Luke Cage . All of these are subject matters which are hard to see living on a Disney service.

India still decades away from animal organ transplants, says leading AIIMS cardiac surgeon | India News

Leading cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon at AIIMS New Delhi, Dr Devagourou Velayoudam , talks to Padma Rao Sundarji for Times of Online, on the recent pig-to-human heart transplant in the United States, and the future of xenotransplantation in India. Q: Earlier this month, doctors at a US hospital transplanted a pig’s heart into a human being for the first time in history. Opinion is divided among biotechnologists and surgeons. Some are sceptical, others excited. How about you? A: I look at it both ways. On the one hand, it’s a real milestone in science. There is always a shortage of human organs. So, this achievement by the Maryland medical team is a great breakthrough in terms of science and what it can achieve. Their procedure began with genetic engineering. They genetically modified a pig. In simple terms, they had to tackle ten genes in the pig. They deleted four, modified one to prevent the pig’s heart from growing, and added six genes. They did this to decrease responses...

NASA Dart Mission: NASA launches spacecraft to kick an asteroid off course | World News

Image
WASHINGTON: NASA is preparing a mission to deliberately smash a spacecraft into an asteroid -- a test run should humanity ever need to stop a giant space rock from wiping out life on Earth. It may sound like science fiction, but the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) is a real proof-of-concept experiment, blasting off at 10:21 pm Pacific Time Tuesday (0621 GMT Wednesday) aboard a SpaceX rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The goal is to slightly alter the trajectory of Dimorphos, a "moonlet" around 525 feet (160 meters, or two Statues of Liberty) wide that circles a much larger asteroid called Didymos (2,500 feet in diameter). The pair orbit the Sun together. Impact should take place in the fall of 2022, when the binary asteroid system is 6.8 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth, almost the nearest point they ever get. "What we're trying to learn is how to deflect a threat," NASA's top scientist Thomas Zuburchen said o...
