The Equalizer 3 could be the end of the road for Denzel Washington’s reluctant hero Robert McCall – at least if you believe series director Antoine Fuqua.

introduces President Vladimov, the Russian president in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here’s what we know so far about the president and the role he may play in future MCU movies and TV shows.
Named for the first time in Secret Invasion, President Vladimov is discussed following an attack on the U.S. president by Russian-speaking soldiers.
When confronted about the attack, President Vladimov “strenuously denied responsibility.” As the audience knows, the Russian-speaking soldiers were in fact enemy Skrulls whose aim was to start a war between the two countries.
While he denies responsibility for the attacks, President Vladimov still moves tanks into positions alongside the Finland and Ukranian borders. Clearly the Russian president is preparing for the worst here. He might know that he didn’t carry out any attacks, but he’s smart enough to recognize the evidence against his country, even if it is inaccurate and fabricated.
With the Russian president now named, it’s possible that we’ll see more of the character in upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows. We already know that there’s going to be a political focus in Captain America: Brave New World, with the U.S. president being replaced by Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross who is played by Harrison Ford. It’s not clear what is going to happen to President Ritson to make room for Ross.
Of course, real-world tensions between world leaders and Russia will surely be considered when creating upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows. It’s possible that we won’t hear about President Vladimov anytime soon or, perhaps, never again.
For more Secret Invasion guides, here’s what happened to the U.K. prime minister at the end of the finale. Also, here’s where Nick Fury and Priscilla are going.

Overwatch 2: Invasion, Blizzard’s biggest update yet for the free-to-play game, launches... right now (the content should have unlocked within the last hour) but before you jump in, here’s some final info about the update. Invasion offers up a trio of PvE story missions (which are being sold at a $15 premium price tag), the support Hero Illari, the new Flashpoint mode, Hero Mastery missions, Hero Progression system, and more.
Modern Warfare 3’s latest trailer includes snippets of in-game footage that have set tongues wagging within the Call of Duty community.
Apple has a slew of 3nm chipsets that will be found in various devices, starting with the A17 Bionic for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, followed by the M3. However, to ensure that the competition does not catch up with the California-based giant for a whole year, a new rumor claims that the company has secured all of TSMC’s cutting-edge chip supply for a 12-month period.
Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week was a big one for the indie MMO scene. Eternal Tombs gave us its reveal trailer, Loftia kicked butt with its Kickstarter campaign (image above), and Palia entered its Closed Beta Phase. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for June, and it was a very healthy month for the industry – the 2nd biggest June ever in fact. Players spent $4.7 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in June, a 9 percent year-on-year increase. After the Switch surged back to #1 in May due to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, PS5 was back on top last month – this was PlayStation’s biggest June in terms of hardware sales since 2008.
Daedalic's catastrophic Lord of the Rings: Gollum saga may finally be grinding to a conclusion. The patch notes for a beefy «major update» that dropped last week conclude with a note that, to my reading, pretty strongly suggests that the studio is putting a bow on it and calling it done.
Old School RuneScape has released a sequel to an 18 year-old quest, spotted by GamesRadar+, one which has immediately caused confusion as players rushed to bag the new loot it comes with… and in most cases, didn't get it. Desert Treasure 2: The Fallen Empire is the MMO's first Grandmaster quest since 2019 and is a sequel to, you guessed it, Desert Treasure (released in 2005). It sees players returning to the Kharidian Desert to explore a big old vault and take on the lich-like Mahjarrat.
It's official, Secret Invasion has the most poorly reviewed episode of all the series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The show's director Ali Selim doesn't seem to mind too much, however.
Secret Invasion director Ali Selim has answered one of the show's biggest questions – if Rhodey (Don Cheadle) has been a Skrull this whole time, when, exactly, did we lose the real Rhodey?
The Secret Invasion finale came with a major Super Skrull moment – but it has everyone puzzled.
