Spoiler warning: spoilers for Avengers: Endgame ahead.

While Natalie Portman’s Doctor Jane Foster made a cameo in Avengers: Endgame, the actress didn’t actually shoot any new footage for the appearance.

Reported by Entertainment Weekly, directors Anthony and Joe Russo explained the only new content Portman provided for the film was a quick piece of voiceover work. Anthony said “All she did new for this movie was…”

“The voice,” said Joe.

“A little bit of voice-over when she’s talking in the distance, that’s it,” finished Anthony.

The scene in question takes place on Asgard in 2013 and focuses on Jane in the distance thanking a group of Asgardians for taking care of her, though the newly provided piece of vocal work itself is relatively hard to distinguish, and largely just lends to the overall believability of the scene.

Stranger Things is receiving a brand-new LEGO set depicting both the regular world and the series’ infamous The Upside Down.

Available June 1 (or May 15 for LEGO VIP members), the set depicts Will Byers’ house in its real world and Upside Down states. Both halves of the set show the front and inside of the house, with detailed Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Joyce Byers and Chief Jim Hopper figures accounted for in the regular world, and Will Byers and the Demogorgon residing in The Upside Down.

The set includes subtle callbacks to the show, including a light up alphabet wall used to communicate between worlds, dark vines spread throughout The Upside Down, a Hawkin’s Police Department truck, and the attic even includes a drawing of the Mind Flayer and a wizard hat belonging to Will the Wise. The figures in The Upside Down cling to tiles on the ceiling, and the entire set can be flipped and displayed in either orientation.

SPOILERS AHEAD for Avengers: Endgame.

When the heroes of Avengers: Endgame go on their “time heist” to retrieve the Infinity Stones, the audience is treated to the scene of the Avengers first assembling at the Battle of New York, however, that scene was not part of the original plan.

Speaking to Business Insider, Avengers: Endgame editor Jeffrey Ford discussed how the decision had to be made as to when our future Avengers would return to the past New York to get the Tesseract and that the winning scene had to be “something audiences would instantly recognize.”

Warning: Full spoilers for The Flash’s Season 5 finale below. If you need a refresher on where we left off, here’s our review for Season 5, Episode 21.

The Flash’s fifth season has been a huge disappointment. It’s not even a question of whether the season finale can redeem the show. That’s flat-out impossible this late in the game. Even so, “Legacy” worked about as well as could be hoped. This episode helped recapture some of the show’s faded glory, all while giving several characters the emotional send-offs they deserved.

Naturally, Cicada was the weak link in the finale. The series has done very little with the character since the mantle shifted from Orlin Dwyer to his niece Grace, and this episode was never going to make up for all that lost time. The Cicada conflict was given a decent ending, at least, though more in terms of Nora’s story than Grace’s. Nora got through to Grace in a way she failed to do before, allowing for her grand heroic moment before the tragic fallout.
