Moving on to NBA news, sixty college basketball players have been drafted to the league as a result of the 2018 NBA Draft in Brooklyn last Thursday. We know that DeAndre Ayton was the No. 1 Pick and was drafted by the Phoenix Suns, but here are the next nine picks that are sure to cook up some drama when the new NBA Season begins in October. Power forward Marvin Bagley from Duke University was drafted by the Sacramento Kings as the No. 2 Pick, Luka Dončić, a shooting guard from the Real Madrid basketball team in Spain, was No. 3 and drafted by the Atlanta Hawks. The No. 4 Pick went to the Memphis Grizzlies who chose Power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. from Michigan State, Point guard Trae Young Oklahoma was the No. 5 Pick and chosen by the Dallas Mavericks, however they traded him to Atlanta in exchange for Luka Dončić. The next to be drafted were a pair of Center players, first it was Mohamed Bamba from the University of Texas who was the No. 6 Pick for the Orlando Magic, then came Wendell Carter from Duke who was No. 7 for the Chicago Bulls.

If there's one thing people hate about movie, it's the spoilers that come before the movie comes out in theaters. Actors are very bad at keeping secrets about the movies that they are in, take Tom Holland for example, in fact, let's use him as the subject of today's #TwitterTrend. The star of Spider-Man: Homecoming and a member of Avengers: Infinity War has made light of his reputation as a spoiler of Marvel movies, and this time he might have taken it one step too far. Yesterday, he revealed that the sequel to Homecoming will be titled as "Spider-Man: Far From Home" and you can bet a dime that people are braking up a storm about it on social media, while the new title is conformed to be true, we still known little about the upcoming sequel next year, it seems as though it will be set in places other than New York City. Filming is set to begin early next month in London, Jake Gyllenhaal was in talks to play the sequel's villain, Mysterio, and there were rumors to cast a foreign actress that will play the female lead alongside Tom, but we'll just have to wait and see how everything turns once the film opens next summer. So until then, see how many people were intrigued by the sequel's new title yesterday.

Joshua Yehl @JoshuaYehl

Tom Holland just “accidentally” revealed his next Marvel movie will be called Spider-Man: Far From Home. Spidey is going abroad!

jess 🏳️‍🌈 @thorcgnarok
as long as the new poster is better than this... then fuck it. the movie can be titled “spider-man: on route to london” and i wouldn’t care

jess 🏳️‍🌈 @thorcgnarok
i’m hoping if the title really is “spider-man: far from home” that it goes way deeper than it looks. like i hope it has something to do with peter’s trauma from iw or something... because if it’s literally just about peter and his friends traveling to europe then

nay 🤙🏼 | 🇲🇽 @tomicksn
“SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME”

this is what we know!:

-spidey 2 starts MINUTES after a4 ends

-they were looking to cast a foreign female to possibly lead peter into danger

-mysterio might be the next villain

-they’re filming in different locations in europe

Germain Lussier @GermainLussier

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Spider-Man: Homeowner

Spider-Man: Old Folks Home’

Chives, despite my best intentions @ChiggityChives

The Devil works hard, but Tom Holland works harder.

Raghu Sharma @RajBauer

This was clearly done on purpose lol. Love Tom playing into the accidental spoilers from the past as a new strategy. We don’t get this kind of stuff from the people working on the project directly nowadays and is usually leaked by some website #Spidermanfarfromhome #Spiderman

bailey 🦖 @rexysblue

I feel like they use Tom Holland’s “spoiler leaking” as PR at this point like it’s so obvious

neontaster @neontaster

So "Far From Home" can mean both another country and (considering where Infinity War left off), Spider-Man in SPAAAAAAACE.

Kevin Williams @AwestruckVox

Far From Home is the first Phase 4 film tho so I hope it fully embraces whatever new status quo Marvel is establishing (still betting on multiverse/alternate dimensions since time travel fuckery is pretty much confirmed for A4)

Foggy Nelson @SpencerMemes

Guys guys guys....I just realized something. We got a title so you know what that means? We’ll probably see concept art of Mysterio and/or Scorpion very soon.........

Pixar Pier at Disney's California Adventure has finally opened and everything about it looks and feels Incredible. From the Incredicoaster to the Pixar Pal-A-Round, from the food to the games, DCA has made the former Paradise Pier into an area themed after people's favorite Pixar character from the past and present. Lots of guests have recorded their visit to Pixar Pier since its premiere event last Friday, although there are some places at new Pier that have not opened yet, and I am talking about Bing Bong's Sweet Stuff Confectionery which will not be ready until next month, Jessie's Critter Carousel will open in 2019 along with the new Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind. The latter of the two rides will be located on the far east side of Pixar Pier and will be apart of the fourth and upcoming neighborhood of the Pier called "Inside Out Headquarters", but will you look at the concept art of the ride down below, you can see that it is a complete retheming of Flik's Flyers from A Bug's Land. It long time rumor has come true and soon the spinner ride will find itself a new home in Pixar Pier as A Bug's Land is closing down this summer and be replaced by the upcoming Marvel Land at Disney's California Adventure in 2020. For more all on the opening and different news on Pixar Pier, here's a fun-filled Web Choice playlist with different videos from DSNY Newscast and Orange Grove 55.
