Screenshot: Marvel via 100Bombs Studios We got the first, highly-anticipated trailer this week for Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. If that wasn’t enough to satisfy you, a YouTuber has recreated it (yes, already!) using animation from Spider-Man: The Animated Series—with a little helping hand from the animated The Incredible Hulk. YouTube channel 100Bombs Studios published this incredibly well-put-together version just two days after Sony dropped the trailer from Jon Watts’ film. Whether they’re miracle workers or started putting this thing together after the trailer leaked a bit early remains to be seen. Either way, the utilized animated footage makes for a delightful watch. The animated series, much like the X-Men cartoon, ran on the Fox Kids Network from 1994-1998. It was ma...

Erika Jayne owes $25 million to her estranged husband's law firm, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Aug. 26 and obtained by E! News. The trustee behind the Girardi Keese bankruptcy case sued the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 50, for more than $25.5 million plus interest, after Erika allegedly paid for her "extravagant lifestyle" using firm funds. "The glam cannot be supported by a sham," trustee Elissa Miller states in the first amended complaint.
