Dave Bautista leaks the plot of Avengers 4

Dave Bautista may have just landed himself in a whole lot of trouble with Marvel. Spoilers ahead for Avengers: Infinity War, obviously.

In the end of Infinity War, Dave’s character Drax disintegrated along with his fellow Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord, Groot and Mantis, when Thanos clicked his fingers and destroyed half the world after acquiring all of the Infinity Stones.

Fans were under the impression that Guardians, T’Challa, Spider-man, Doctor Strange, Bucky Barnes, the Scarlet Witch, Nick Fury and Maria Hill were all dust. But now, Dave has confirmed that he’ll be back in Avengers 4, pretty much killing the tension. In an interview, the 49-year-old said: “I don’t know how they’re bringing me back, yeah but somehow I’m going to make it because, as far as I know, I am going to be in Guardians 3, so I have to be back.”


Details of Madonna’s new album leaked online

It’s not the start to a new album campaign that Madonna was hoping for. Currently readying up her fourteenth studio album — which forthcoming single “Beautiful Game” is set to feature on — Madge will be disappointed to discover that apparent details about the new record have already leaked online.

With no release date in sight and still untitled, fans have been given their first glimpse of the new album. A source close to Madonna’s camp has spilled the beans, revealing the titles of a number of songs and details about some of the lyrics.

“Madonna is desperate to make her 14th album her most cutting edge yet,” sources told.


A sound system that touches all five senses

A new space in London has opened that boasts a sound system that affects all five senses in us. A new club called Aures, in Waterloo, with its specifically designed room called the Sensorium, claims to do exactly that. Located in the graffiti laden tunnel of Leake Street, the space aims ‘to enhance all aspects of human sensory memory’, according to creator Sam Davis.

The Sensorium is a purple-lit tunnel with a curved roof, decked out on either side with two walls of Pioneer Pro Audio sound system, covered by thin curtains. It’s these two walls of multiple speakers (25 on each side) that give the space it’s truly three-dimensional sound.

One of the most impressive elements is how the system could really replicate positional sound. When playing a recording of a helicopter taking off and it really did feel like a helicopter took off to your left, rose overhead and flew off to your right.
