Emilio Estevez Not Returning To ‘The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers’ For Season 2 – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: The Mighty Ducks franchise will continue without Gordon Bombay. Emilio Estevez, who reprised his role from the 1992 movie and its 1994 and 1996 sequels in Season 1 of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, will not be back for the Disney+ series’ upcoming second season, I have learned. I hear Disney Television Studios’ ABC Signature, which produces the hockey-themed sequel series, made the decision not to pick up Estevez’s option for Season 2 after weeks of back and forth with his team over the show’s Covid vaccination requirement. Reps for the studio and Estevez declined comment. Heading into Season 2, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers — like many Disney TV Studios series — has adopted a mandatory vaccination policy for the cast and crew in Zone A, which was included as an ...

Marvels Avengers Reveals First Look at Spider-Man – ComicBook.com

This week, Crystal Dynamics finally gave Marvel's Avengers fans a release date for Spider-Man, the game's next character who will be exclusive to PS4 and PS5 versions of the game. Crystal Dynamics also announced the permanent price cut for some in-game content after walking back a controversial "pay-to-win" update. It's been a big, eventful, and positive week for fans of the 2020 game, and today it got better with the first look at Spider-Man in the game. Unfortunately, there's still no trailer for the character, and the first look doesn't contain any gameplay. In fact, it's not even a complete look at the character. Rather, it's more of a sneak peek, but after months and months of waiting, Marvel's Avengers fans will take what they can get.  The screengrab below comes from an official...

Experimental drug boosts immunotherapy treatment of pancreatic cancer in mice – Fox News

An experimental drug helped boost effectiveness of immunotherapy treatment against pancreatic cancer in mice, according to a recent study published this week in the Journal for Immuno Therapy of Cancer. Researchers out of Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc, in Washington DC, found the drug BXCL701, an experimental dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) inhibitor, increased the number of immune cells surrounding the tumor, resulting in slowing tumor growth, and in some mice, eliminated the cancer, according to a press release.  "We show that by combining this drug with immunotherapy, we were able to activate the immune system in such a way that it could melt pancreatic tumors quickly and even completely cure some mice." Allison Fitzgerald, Ph.D., at George...
