Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One) Trailer Teases Miles Morales Vs. Spider-Man 2099 - /Film

Shameik Moore returns as the voice of Miles Morales, with Jake Johnson back as Peter B. Parker, and Hailee Steinfeld reprising her role as Gwen Stacy. Issa Rae also joins the cast as Spider-Woman, aka Jessica Drew.

The big surprise of CCXP was that "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2" would actually be "Spider-Man: Across the Universe (Part One)" — the first in a two-part story. Following the success of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" (which won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, a category that's typically dominated by Disney and Pixar), Sony invested heavily in development of "Spider-Verse" sequels and spin-offs. Speaking to EW, writer-producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller said, "Part Two will be out sometime in 2023. We will sleep again in 2024."

After a cute little "date" between Miles and Spider-Gwen, the "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One)" trailer sends Miles spinning through the multiverse — where eventually he runs into Miguel O'Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099. This particular Spider-variant is voiced by Oscar Isaac and first appeared in an end-credits scene for "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."

Check out a still from "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One)" below.

Spotify removes popular comedians' content over royalties dispute - The Verge

Spotify has pulled the works of some of the most popular comedians, including Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, John Mulaney, and Jim Gaffigan due to a royalties dispute. First reported by The Wall Street Journal, a number of high-profile entertainers are pursuing royalty payments for their jokes when they’re played on the radio, as well as on services like Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, and SiriusXM.

The comics’ efforts are backed by global rights administration company, Spoken Giants, which works to ensure that entertainers are properly compensated for spoken-word content. As the WSJ notes, comedians are typically paid by their label or distributor — along with digital performance rights organization SoundExchange — when a digital service plays their content. However, they’re technically not compensated for writing that content, something that Spoken Giants hopes to change.

After failed negotiations with Spoken Giants, Spotify removed hundreds of comedians’ content from the service. In a statement to the WSJ, Spotify said that it already paid “significant amounts of money for the content in question, and would love to continue to do so.” The Verge reached out to Spotify with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.

There’s no word whether Spotify will try to reach an agreement with Spoken Giants again, or if the comedians’ content will ever return. With Spotify expected to have over 400 million users by the end of the year, the affected comedians may be missing out on massive amounts of visibility.

Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria pledges to 'take care of' actor, jabs critics: 'I don't want to lose you' - Fox News

Alec Baldwin has a strong supporter in his wife Hilaria.

Since the Oct. 21 shooting on the set of the actor's film "Rust," Hilaria has been an outspoken supporter of her husband despite intense media attention and scrutiny.

On Thursday night, Baldwin, 63, addressed the shooting — which resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins — in a tell-all interview with George Stephanopoulos in which the actor said he may have taken his own life if he felt he were responsible for the ordeal.

On Friday, Hilaria took to Instagram to share a photo of herself and her husband embracing and kissing, gushing over the "30 Rock" actor in the caption.

"'I am here, I love you, and I will take care of you.' These were the only words that came to me when we learned Halyna had died," she recalled. "I remember saying that phrase over and over again. The horrific loss, the torture to her family, and you, my husband, somehow put in this unthinkable nightmare."

Hilaria said that she remembers the moment well, as photographers surrounded Baldwin to capture widely spread images of the star speaking on the phone while he cried.

"I couldn’t be near you to hug you, our connection over the phone, a visual for the world to see," she continued. "Our public life is one that brings great joy in connecting with amazing people and tremendous trauma when it gets dark. The opinions + monetization of us get loud and overwhelming."

JOHN SCHNEIDER SAYS HE’S 'DISGUSTED’ BY ALEC BALDWIN’S ‘REFUSAL TO SHOW ANY GUILT’ FOLLOWING INTERVIEW

Hilaria said she was "afraid" for Baldwin to "open up" publicly about the shooting because "I’ve seen your spirit crushed, your mental health shattered, your soul in unimaginable pain."

She noted: "Sometimes I wonder how much one body, one mind can take. I don’t want to lose you."

"You know yourself and wanted to speak. I am proud of you," she gushed before adding: "We become scared and crumble as some speak about us, for us, gossip, conspiracies, ALL OF THE DAMN OPINIONS. Everything gets twisted and turned, torn apart, picked at, even invented."

The star said that as "media, social and ‘news’" has developed, she "lost [her] voice" and "stopped speaking because of fear," but praised Baldwin for encouraging her to "speak, use my voice, stay true."

ALEC BALDWIN HITS BACK AT GEORGE CLOONEY'S RESPONSE TO 'RUST' SHOOTING: 'GOOD FOR YOU'

"You were right and continue to inspire me," she stated. "You and I don’t always get it right, but we have big hearts and we love deeply. We are completely different in almost every [single] possible way, but we are united through deep caring. Alec, we are messy, unfiltered, and wear our hearts, naked, on our sleeves—this makes us targets and we are so sensitive that to hurt us is easy. As much as I want the pain to go, I can’t imagine being any other way. It just is who we are—and who we are together."

The yoga guru circled back around to her opening phrase and said that she and her husband "honor Halyna and her family" and hope to "figure out how this happened and whatever we can do to make sure it never happens again."

"My Alec, I am here to heal any of your pain that I can," she concluded. "I am not going anywhere. Onward to being Alec and Hilaria, messy, emotions strong, but lots and lots of love—until the very end."

Once Baldwin caught wind of the post, he shared his response in the comments. 

"I’m lucky. Sometimes it doesn’t seem that way to me," he wrote. "But having you and our family…I’m the luckiest guy on Earth."

Meagan Good Wants Gun For Protection After L.A. Home Invasions - TMZ

Tha God's Honest Truth

Meagan Good wants to become a gun owner ... and while she says she didn't always feel that way, the recent rise of home invasions in Los Angeles changed her mind.

Meagan explained her change of heart in tonight's interview with Charlamagne Tha God on his Comedy Central show "Tha God's Honest Truth" ... saying she would feel more comfortable with a gun after seeing home invasions on the rise in Hollywood.

The actress says she used to think she didn't need a gun at home because there wouldn't be time to grab the weapon if a situation arose ... but now she says she wants to be able to at least have the option.

While Meagan says she doesn't want to shoot or kill any potential home invaders ... she says she is willing to defend herself with a gun.

Meagan's fears are real.

TMZ broke the story ... Clarence Avant's wife, Jackie, was shot and killed inside the couple's Beverly Hills home Wednesday morning after at least one suspect made it inside during a home invasion robbery.

LAPD

These cases are part of an alarming trend ... in the days before Halloween, Dorit Kemsley had 3 men (shown above) storm into her bedroom to threaten her life before fleeing with six-figures worth of valuables.

It's evening happening outside of homes ... Terrence J told cops last month he was pulling into his driveway when another car pulled up and the men inside ordered him out of his car, firing shots and giving chase when he refused their commands and drove off.

Bottom line for Meagan ... she's embracing the 2nd Amendment.

Meagan's full interview airs tonight on Comedy Central, and you can tune in to Charlamagne's show Fridays at 10 PM.
