The reveal teaser sees Holland emerge from the shadows in his new ensemble, which more closely resembles the comic-book version than his previous duds. "We ready?" Holland asks in the video. The new Spidey Suit has more vivid reds and blues, and features a larger spider symbol than his costumes from "Spider-Man: Homecoming," "Far From Home" and "No Way Home." "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" hits theaters on July 31, 2026. "Brand New Day" marks the fourth MCU Spider-Man installment from Sony and Disney after 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home." In that film, Peter Parker's secret identity is revealed to the entire world, and the young hero must turn to Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange for help. He manages to conjure a spell that makes everyone forget Parker is Spider-Man, but not without some unintended side effects. The spell pulls other web-slingers and their respective villains into Parker's dimension, leading to the viral moment between Holland and Sony's previous Spider-Men, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. "Brand New Day" is based on the Spider-Man comic storyline of the same name. In the comic book story, Parker lands a deal with Mephisto to make the world forget he is Spider-Man and resurrect Aunt May. However, the spell essentially reboots his world and dissolves his marriage with MJ. "Shang-Chi" helmer Destin Daniel Cretton serves as director on "Brand New Day." Jon Bernthal's the Punisher and Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, will also appear in the movie.

Music Legend, 80, Divides Fans With Bold Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne — 'Terrible and Corny'

Music Legend, 80, Divides Fans With Bold Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne — 'Terrible and Corny'

Music Legend, 80, Divides Fans With Bold Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne — 'Terrible and Corny'originally appeared onParade. Rod Stewartpaid tribute to the lateOzzy Osbourneduring hisOne Last Timetour — but his gesture has sparked mixed reactions from fans. The 80-year-old music icon dedicated a portion of his show to honor the legendaryBlack Sabbath frontmanfollowing his recenttragic passing. What started as a touching memorial has some fans calling it "terrible and corny," while others defend Stewart's approach to honoring his friend. The controversy began when Stewart dedicated his classic hit "Forever Young" to Osbourne following his death on July 22. Initially, the tribute featured projections of Osbourne during the emotional ballad. However, everything reportedly changed during Stewart's concert at the Ameris Bank Amphitheater outside Atlanta on Friday, August 1. According toNME, while the performance began with standard photos of Osbourne, the visuals quickly evolved into AI-generated images. These artificial photos appeared showing Osbourne alongside deceased music legendsPrince,Tina Turner,Bob Marley,Freddie Mercury,Kurt Cobain,George MichaelandAmy Winehouse, all positioned against cloudy backdrops suggesting a heavenly reunion. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sloane Steel (@iamsloanesteel) Concertgoers took to social media to share their responses, with many questioning Stewart's decision to use artificial intelligence for such a personal tribute. One fan wrote under a video of the performance, "Good idea: pay tribute to Ozzy and his friends in heaven. Bad Idea: Making an AI-generated video with his dead friends/members." The criticism didn't stop there. Another viewer bluntly stated, "AI content is NOT a good thing," and another added, "It's terrible and corny." However, not everyone condemned Stewart's creative choice. Some fans offered a different perspective, suggesting the tribute represented the singer's personal way of processing grief. "If this is Rod's way of showing respect to those people that passed away that's his way. Everyone is gonna show respect their own way everyone is different everyone isn't gonna do it the same way," one supporter wrote. After Osbourne's death was announced, Stewart posted onInstagramto pay his respects. "Bye, bye Ozzy. I'll see you up there— later rather than sooner," he captioned the photo. As Stewart'sOne Last Time tour continues across the United States through early October before heading to Europe, fans remain divided on his tribute choice. The singer has yet to address the controversy surrounding the AI-generated visuals, leaving audiences to speculate whether he'll modify the tribute or continue with his current version.

Plastic causing "disease and death from infancy to old age," report warns

Plastic causing "disease and death from infancy to old age," report warns

Plastic pollution is a "grave, growing and under-recognized danger" to health that is costing the world at least $1.5 trillion a year, areportpublished Monday in the Lancet medical journal said. The new review of existing evidence, which was carried out by leading health researchers and doctors, was published one day ahead of fresh talks in Geneva aiming at getting the world's first treaty on plastic pollution. The experts called for the delegates from nearly 180 nations expected to attend the gathering to finally agree on a treaty after previous failed attempts. Comparing plastic to air and lead pollution, the report said theimpact on healthof plastic pollution could be mitigated by laws and policies. "Plastics cause disease and death from infancy to old age and are responsible for health-related economic losses exceeding $1.5 trillion annually," it said. A recent umbrella review of epidemiological research on the health impacts of plastic chemicals showed "consistent evidence for multiple health effects at all stages of human life for many plastic chemicals" and found that infants and young children were especially at risk, the report said. "These effects include impaired reproductive potential (eg, polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis), perinatal effects (eg, miscarriage, reduced birthweight, and malformations of the genital organs), diminished cognitive function (eg, intelligence quotient loss), insulin resistance, hypertension and obesity in children, and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, obesity, and cancer in adults." "It is incumbent on us to act in response," Philip Landrigan, a doctor and researcher at Boston College, said in a statement responding to the report. "To those meeting in Geneva: please take up the challenge and the opportunity of finding the common ground that will enable meaningful and effective international cooperation in response to this global crisis." The researchers also warned about tiny pieces of plastic calledmicroplasticsthat have been found throughout nature — and throughout human bodies. The full effect of microplastics on health are not yet fully known, but researchers have sounded the alarm about the potential impact of this ubiquitous plastic. The amount of plastic produced by the world has risen from two million tons in 1950 to 475 million tons in 2022, the report said. The number is projected to triple by 2060, yet currently less than 10% of all plastic is recycled, it added. Plastic is made from fossil fuels, and Landrigan said that the world's plastic "crisis" is connected to its climate crisis. "There is no understating the magnitude of both the climate crisis and the plastic crisis," Landrigan said. "They are both causing disease, death and disability today in tens of thousands of people, and these harms will become more severe in the years ahead as the planet continues to warm and plastic production continues to increase," he said.

More Gazans die seeking aid and from hunger, as burial shrouds in short supply

More Gazans die seeking aid and from hunger, as burial shrouds in short supply

By Nidal al-Mughrabi CAIRO/GAZA (Reuters) -At least 40 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire and airstrikes on Gaza on Monday, including 10 seeking aid, health authorities said, adding another five had died of starvation in what humanitarian agencies say may be an unfolding famine. The 10 died in two separate incidents near aid sites belonging to the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, in central and southern Gaza, local medics said. The United Nations says more than 1,000 people have been killed trying to receive aid in the enclave since the GHF began operating in May 2025, most of them shot by Israeli forces operating near GHF sites. "Everyone who goes there, comes back either with a bag of flour or carried back (on a wooden stretcher) as a martyr, or injured. No one comes back safe," said 40-year-old Palestinian Bilal Thari. He was among mourners at Gaza City's Al Shifa hospital on Monday who had gathered to collect the bodies of their loved ones killed a day earlier by Israeli fire as they sought aid, according to Gaza's health officials. At least 13 Palestinians were killed on Sunday while waiting for the arrival of U.N. aid trucks at the Zikim crossing on the Israeli border with the northern Gaza Strip, the officials said. At the hospital, some bodies were wrapped in thick patterned blankets because white shrouds, which hold special significance in Islamic burials, were in short supply due to continued Israeli border restrictions and the mounting number of daily deaths, Palestinians said. "We don't want war, we want peace, we want this misery to end. We are out on the streets, we all are hungry, we are all in bad shape, women are out there on the streets, we have nothing available for us to live a normal life like all human beings, there's no life," Thari told Reuters. There was no immediate comment by Israel on Sunday's incident. The Israeli military said in a statement to Reuters that it had not fired earlier on Monday in the vicinity of the aid distribution centre in the southern Gaza Strip, but it did not elaborate further. Israel blames Hamas for the suffering in Gaza and says it is taking steps for more aid to reach its population, including pausing fighting for part of the day in some areas, air drops, and announcing protected routes for aid convoys. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he would convene his security cabinet this week to discuss how the military should proceed in Gaza to meet all his government's war goals, which include defeating Hamas and releasing the hostages. DEATHS FROM HUNGER Meanwhile, five more people died of starvation or malnutrition over the past 24 hours, Gaza's health ministry said on Monday. The new deaths raised the toll of those dying from hunger to 180, including 93 children, since the war began. U.N. agencies have said that airdrops of food are insufficient and that Israel must let in far more aid by land and quickly ease access to it. COGAT, the Israeli military agency that coordinates aid, said that during the past week, over 23,000 tons of humanitarian aid in 1,200 trucks had entered Gaza but that hundreds had yet to be driven to aid distribution hubs by U.N. and other international organizations. Israel's military later said 120 aid packages containing food had been dropped into Gaza "over the past few hours" by six different countries in collaboration with COGAT. The Hamas-run Gaza government media office said on Sunday that more than 600 aid trucks had arrived since Israel eased restrictions in late July. However, witnesses and Hamas sources said many of those trucks have been looted by desperate displaced people and armed gangs. Palestinian and U.N. officials said Gaza needs around 600 aid trucks to enter per day to meet the humanitarian requirements - the number Israel used to allow into Gaza before the war. The Gaza war began when Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostage in an attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Israeli figures. Israel's offensive has since killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. According to Israeli officials, 50 hostages now remain in Gaza, only 20 of whom are believed to be alive. (Reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi and Mahmoud Issa.

'Victim 3' asks judge to release Sean 'Diddy' Combs on bail

'Victim 3' asks judge to release Sean 'Diddy' Combs on bail

Virginia "Gina" Huynh, the woman known as "Victim 3" during the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial, said that Combsshould be released from prison. The letter from Huynh is included as an attachment in a response from Combs' legal team filed on Sunday. In the letter, Huynh says she wants to share her observations about Combs' character. "Our relationship, like many, was not always perfect, we experienced ups and downs, and mistakes were made but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future," Huynh wrote. MORE: Hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs acquitted on most serious charges in historic racketeering case The letter goes on to say Huynh believes Combs has not been violent for many years and releasing him would allow him to better support his children. "He has substantial ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him for emotional and financial support. Granting him bond would allow him to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities while still subject to the Court's supervision... Allowing him to be at home will also support the healing process for all involved." In the indictment against Combs, "Victim 3" was described as someone subjected to sexual coercion by Combs. Huynh was expected to be a key witness but was not called to the stand during the trial. Combs has been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for 11 months. MORE: Everyone who testified for the prosecution in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial This response from Combs' legal team is their latest attempt to convince Judge Arun Subramanian that Combs should be allowed to get out of prison while he awaits sentencing, which is scheduled for Oct. 3. Combs' attorneys have argued there are "exceptional reasons" why he should be allowed out on a $50 million bond, but prosecutors say the rap mogul has an "extensive history of violence" that makes it impossible for him to prove he would not pose a danger to the community if released. Following an eight-week federal trial,a jury convictedCombs of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.
