Brian is an actor, musician, writer, babysitter, and former Olympian. One of these things is a lie. Based in NYC, Brian honed his skills in the suburbs of Minneapolis, where he could often be seen doing jazz squares down the halls of his middle school. After obtaining a degree in musical theatre, he graced the stages of Minneapolis and St. Paul before making the move to NYC. In his spare time, Brian can be found playing board games, hitting around a volleyball, and forcing friends to improvise with him.

What if there was more than one Spider-Man?

A new Sony Animation film, which his theaters next Christmas, aims to tackle that question with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

After releasing the trailer on Saturday, the new film is already generating a ton of buzz on social media, and not just because it looks gorgeous:

Many people were focused on the style of the central character, noting that he appears to be wearing Jordans:

But it wasn't just the shoes that caught people's attention. It was the fact that the franchise appears to be branching out, and isn't afraid to show some much-needed diversity:

*POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD*

Most people think of Peter Parker when they think of Spider-Man, but for fans of the comics, Miles Morales is a favorite. Morales was introduced in 2011 in Ultimate Fallout #4. Like Parker, Morales was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained superpowers. In the comics, Morales takes over as Spider-Man after Parker is killed by the Green Goblin. If you look carefully at the trailer, Morales even walks by the snowy grave of Peter Parker in New York City.

While Marvel has recently brought Spider-Man into its broader universe, according to The Verge, the new film will be a separate, standalone movie that looks to be an origin story, and could develop into a universe of its own.

But for fans of the live-action Spider-Man films, the recent Spider-Man: Homecoming actually dropped a big Easter egg, hinting that Miles Morales actually exists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Towards the end of the film, Aaron Davis, AKA the Prowler (played Donald Glover), decides to help Spider-Man, telling him that having a "nephew in this neighborhood" is his reason for not wanting superweapons making their way around the streets.

And fans of the comics know that this nephew is Morales.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige even confirmed the connection back in June, saying: "All of those little things are just Easter eggs for fans until they're something more than that."

"But where we go ... we definitely want you to go, 'He's there. He’s there somewhere,'" he added.

A deleted scene from Homecoming even has Davis answering the phone and saying, "Yeah, sorry, Miles ... I'm not gonna make it."

So, along with the new animated film, it seems like maybe we'll be seeing more of Miles Morales in theaters in the years to come.

And we couldn't be more excited.

Nancy Mace Gets Blunt Civics Lesson After Claiming Every Muslim Elected Official Is A 'Trojan Horse'

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out by CNN anchor Omar Jimenez for her lack of understanding of the First Amendment after she published a series of Islamophobic tweets, including one referring to every Muslim elected official in the country as a "Trojan horse."

Mace's posts came after Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed, a physician who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November.

GOP Senator Hit With Brutal Reminder After Slamming Trump Over Executive Order To Break Up MMR Vaccine

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was criticized for voting to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) after he spoke out against President Donald Trump's executive order recommending that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine be broken up into separate shots.

The new policy would recommend giving the MMR vaccine as three individual injections rather than as a combined shot, while also spacing childhood vaccinations across separate doctor visits.

MAGA Actor Dean Cain Swiftly Fact-Checked After Doubting Dem Senate Candidate Actually Played High School Football

Dean Cain had a question, a theory, and one consequential mistake—he asked the internet to “do your thing.” The former and failed Superman turned MAGA try-too-hard fan took aim at Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday, but this investigation had less to do with truth, justice, and the American way than high school football.

It all started when Cain took his suspicions to X and invited the internet to find the receipts:

Kennedy Jr., White House policy advisor and Project 2025 architect Stephen Miller, and health economist and controversial National Institutes of Health Director and acting Centers for Disease Control Director Jay Bhattacharya, who attended medical school but never practiced medicine.
