Kevin Feige Says Mephisto Was Never the Plan for ‘WandaVision’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-21 22:45:38

By the time Mephisto, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, appeared at the end of Ironheart to strike a sinister deal with Riri Williams, it felt almost anticlimactic for Marvel fans. That’s because it was long anticipated that the character would appear on WandaVision, or perhaps, when that didn’t happen, its witchy spin-off Agatha All Along.

Hidden Sensors Reveal Filthy Truth About Handwashing in Hospital Bathrooms

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing. Nearly half of toilet users skipped the sink after flushing, they found. The researchers say more effective stra

An orthographic projection is the best approximation of a view of the earth from space. It’s an azimuthal perspective projection which creates an illusion of a three-dimensional globe. It’s an old projection, believed to have first been developed by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In our time this perspective feels natural since our culture has assimilated how our planet looks from a spacecraft. A good example is Earth’s first portrait, taken from Apollo 8 mission astronauts in 1968: This pr
