Spider-Man: No Way Home is the end?

Spider-Man star Tom Holland announced that his upcoming third film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, will be the final film in the trilogy. The upcoming film is due to hit UK cinemas on December 17 2021.

The British actor made his debut as the Marvel hero in Captain America: Civil War, before leading in two standalone films — Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home.

“I think if we were lucky enough to dive into these characters again, you’d be seeing a very different version,” he said. “It would no longer be the Homecoming trilogy.”

The teaser of No Way Home was released in August.— which broke the record for the most views in its first 24 hours. It shows Holland’s character Peter Parker teaming up with Doctor Strange to undo the events of the past film. Strange obliges, but a mishap leads to something far worse. Holland has described the experience of completing the trilogy as “heart-breaking.”


Nasa’s mission to eight mysterious asteroids

Recently, Nasa’s Lucy spacecraft launched in Florida for its 12-year mission to visit eight mysterious asteroids. The goal is to learn about Trojan asteroids that travel ahead and behind Jupiter in its orbit, about 400 miles from Earth’s orbit.

Lucy will fly by seven Trojan asteroids and one main belt-asteroid. Lucy is now travelling at roughly 67,000 mph on a path that will orbit the sun and come back to Earth a year later for its first gravity boost. The first gravity boost will propel it beyond Mars. In 2024, the second Earth flyby for gravity boost will propel it toward the Donald Johnson asteroid in the solar system’s main asteroid belt in 2025. In 2031, a third gravity boost will propel it to the Trojans on the other side of Jupiter’s orbit in 2033.


Pokemon theme park

Pokemon is the latest entrant to the world of theme parks. Universal Studios Japan and The Pokemon Company are set to make a long-term work deal with a variety of projects, with the first going live in 2022. The Pokemon Company says several of its characters will join the park as companions, so Pikachu mascots will be dancing around the park. This marks the first Pokemon theme park collab with Universal Studios in Japan.

To reiterate, guests will need to keep up to date with COVID-19 travel guidelines to visit the park.
