Ray Chan, the art director and production designer for Marvel Studios who contributed to Guardians of the Galaxy, three Avengers movies, the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine and more, has died. He was 56.
Chan died Tuesday near his home in Wales, his family announced. No cause of death was divulged.
“Ray truly was one of the best, in so many ways,” they said. “He had an exuberance for life, which was tragically cut short and will be sorely missed. He loved his career and lived a rich and wonderful life, and his memory will live on through all those he knew and the films he helped make happen.”
Chan served as supervising art director on Thor: The Dark World (2013), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Doctor Strange (2016) and the Avengers films Age of Ultron (2015), Infinity War (2018) and Endgame (2019).

‘Invasion’ Season 2 Episode 10 Recap & Ending Explained: Did Caspar Take Trevante In The Right Dire?
Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Invasion brings its second season to an end with an eventful finale, which, staying true to the series’ defining traits, concludes with another cliffhanger and a greater number of questions raised than answered. The problem is, unlike Lost or From, sci-fi series that had enough material and ideas to speculate and explore, Invasion follows a fairly simplistic narrative course and is already plagued by pacing issues, which makes holding on to predictable information pretty irritating.
In the previous episode, to find out about her daughter Sarah, Aneesha and the Movement faction infiltrated Project Idabel at invasion ground zero—Oklahoma—where they freed Trev and Rose from captivity. Aneesha went to free Sarah but, in the process, got both of themselves caught, while Trev led Rose and Movement leader Clark to the site where catatonic townsfolk—who were previously abducted and mind-wiped by aliens—are being kept.

Here's hoping Invasion receives a third-season order from Apple TV+ because viewers were left with a cliffhanger.
Humanity made its long-awaited counterassault on the alien mother ship on Invasion Season 2 Episode 10.
Still, do two people, one being a teenager, qualify as a counterassault?
That will depend on whether Trevante can determine how to wield that shard most efficiently.
There's also the question of Caspar's abilities beyond transferring his consciousness to that ship. He's got to be more than a celestial tour guide.
And making all of this possible was Mitzuki, who got pushed to her limits after visiting the mother ship on Invasion Season 2 Episode 9.
All her interaction with the alien portal had left Mitzuki, to use a technical term, more than a little scrambled.
She was holding things just slightly more together than that ward full of the scientists who had formerly interacted with the alien entity she later identified as a portal.

As the second season nears its end, Invasion continues to meaninglessly meander along the same formulaic plot structure, making it incredibly frustrating to continue just watching the same thing repeated over and over. Basically, there are three sets of events that are repeated in every episode with little variation: Mitsuki is guilt-ridden and discovers something new about aliens, which puts humanity one step forward and immediately two steps back; everyone is convinced Caspar is the chosen one who will terminate the alien invasion for good, yet he never shows up when it is necessary; Aneesha just moves around places while trying to reunite her family and gets into problematic situations either by prejudice of outsiders or machinations of the government. At this point, even pointing out the same shortcomings feels tiresome and repetitive, but the makers don’t seem to bother about the apparent absence of a plotline.

Finally, after nearly two seasons apart, the resistance forces are starting to come together.
Still, the title of Invasion Season 2 Episode 9 was a bit of an exaggeration.
The Earth forces know more about the aliens now. But how do they translate that hard-earned knowledge into victory?
It made sense that humanity's biggest two weapons finally united to make a crucial discovery.
Determined to make amends for the death of her lover, Hinata, Mitsuki has risked her life repeatedly to learn more about the aliens who took Hinata from her.
Even though Nikhil was happy to take the Wdc kudos, Mitsuki deserves credit for the handful of human wins in this war against the invaders.
That being said, her blowing up the alien entity/portal with which she had been melding probably wasn't the best of choices, even though she did stop the seismic events caused by the aliens on Invasion...

As the second season of Invasion draws near its end, questions just keep piling up, and characters start acting increasingly erratic due to the relentless pressure and threat imposed by the alien assault. Some big revelations are made by the end of the eighth episode, titled Cosmic Ocean, but the issue of pacing continues to plague the series, as at times the episodes act like filler in the narrative whole.
In the previous episode, by risking her life, Mitsuki was able to decode alien language from the hive mind entity in the Amazon project. At Oklahoma, Trev and Rose were able to reach the epicenter of the first alien assault, at Ben Shelton’s farm, which they found to have become a fortified military camp—Project Idabel. The campsite is supposedly an alien experimentation center, with a peculiar crater located in the middle, which Trev and Rose suspect to be...

Finding lost ones and almost losing the ones you’ve found seems to be the theme of the seventh episode of Invasion, as key characters from different segments of the series strengthen their resolve by extending their circle of trust. Previously, en route to Camp Pierce, where Sarah has been abducted by the military, the Movement convoy got ambushed by hunter aliens. Later, Luke’s psychic connection with the aliens and Aneesha’s bravery allowed Movement members to escape with their lives.
Jamila and co. managed to find Caspar at the hospital in Paris, but Monty seemingly holds the opinion that Caspar is not his old self. At Oklahoma, Trev and county deputy Rose learn about the series of disappearances being linked with alien abduction, and it seems like Rose has lost someone close to her, named Billy, in one of the abduction cases. In the episode titled “Down the Rabbit Hole,...

When it comes to unwinding the central mystery of alien invaders, at times it feels like Apple TV+’s sci-fi drama Invasion seems to move around the same loop without actually revealing anything new. The first season had already hinted that some of the gifted teenagers, like Caspar and Luke, had an intriguing connection they shared with the aliens, and at present, the series is already halfway through its second season, hovering over that aspect only. In the previous episode, while making a rather bold decision, Mitsuki came into direct contact with the alien hive mind stationed at the research center, where she was confronted by a young version of Hinata and was able to peek through a portal door to look at Caspar on the other side. At the Movement shelter, Aneesha’s real identity was revealed, which initially put her in conflict with other group members, but the...

As the midseason finale approaches, Invasion has once again found its foothold by expanding its interconnected storytelling. The fifth episode, titled “A Voice From The Other Side,” explores a strange connection the invading aliens seem to share with humans through Mitsuki’s experiments, which could really change our understanding of the narrative as a whole.
In the previous episode, the aftermath of the human assault on alien attack vessels was shown, as the aliens upgraded into a more vicious, quadruped form and doubled down on their efforts of world dominance. Previously, Aneesha and her family begrudgingly accompanied the Movement members in rescuing a family during the attack on the alien vessels, and in the midst of the chaotic situation, her daughter Sarah went missing. Former Lieutenant Trevante Cole, who went to Oklahoma at site zero of the alien invasion following the clues from Caspar’s artwork, was captured for illegal infiltration.

One of the most bizarre aspects of the second season of AppleTV+’s sci-fi series Invasion is how the pacing turns out to be random and all over the place. While the first and third episodes accelerated the narrative by deftly handling multiple storylines at once, the second and fourth episodes dedicate entire episodes to rather inconsequential segments that barely move the plot forward, if at all. Especially the fourth episode, The Tunnel, tries to put a survival horror twist in the narrative flow, and in doing so, it not only disrupts the pacing but also goes way off course with the central plotline.
In the previous episode, Mitsuki’s maneuver involving the formless alien entity disabled the cloaking mechanism of the invading alien attack vessels, which gave the Wdc a brief window of time to shoot the majority of them down. The collapse of attack vessels rendered the invading alien life forms inactive,...

The jarring effect of the slow-poke second episode gets somewhat assuaged as the third episode of AppleTV+’s sci-fi series Invasion takes a leap forward. After going through a state of economic and social destabilization for months in the aftermath of the alien invasion, human forces scored a major victory by successfully utilizing a single opportunity to take offensive measures. In the first episode itself, it was established that the fallen mothership was biotech in nature, and a formless alien entity residing inside it made contact with Mitsuki Yamato, the Jasa administrator, whose role was integral during the only counterattack against aliens in Invasion Season 1 as well. Aneesha Malik and her children met with the leader of the insurgent group, the Movement, Clark, and agreed to station at their stronghold for the time being. In the previous episode, while browsing through and researching the symbols drawn in Caspar’s notebook,...

After a steady start to the second season with Something’s Changed, which showcased the new world order of a post-invasion dystopia, the second episode of Apple TV+’s Invasion, titled Chasing Ghosts, brings the narrative flow to an abrupt halt. Information that could have easily been added to any other episode with two additional narrative segments is needlessly stretched out to almost an hour-long episode, as it seems the makers are wilfully shackling down the otherwise strong potential that the first episode promised.
In the previous episode, viewers learned that four months after the invasion, the world government has mingled into a single overseeing organization named the Coalition, which is facing adversity in the presence of an insurgence group known as the Movement. The Coalition is also working with the eccentric, fabulously wealthy investor Nikhil Kapur, who abducts Mitsuki and requests that she venture into the alien mothership in...

Apple TV+'s Invasion Season 2 brings together a cast of both old and new faces.
When Season 1 finished, despite what felt like a victory against the aliens, the situation on Earth didn't feel all too hopeful.

Los Angeles, July 3 (Ians) Singer Ellie Goulding has been in touch with her pal Zac Goldsmith, since her separation from husband Caspar Jopling. Ellie, 36, and Zac are understood to have become friends last year over their joint interest in the green agenda.
It was reported this week that the ‘Love Me Like You Do’ star is spending time apart from her 31-year-old husband of four years, reports Mirror.co.uk.
And one source today tells how left-leaning Ellie and Tory peer Zac, 48 – who announced his shock resignation as a Conservative minister on Friday – have been “in touch”. The unlikely pals were first pictured together in June last year. And Zac – who split from wife of 10 years Alice Rothschild in March – is now said to have been “understanding” towards Ellie as they both undergo major life changes.
The source said, quoted by Mirror.co.uk: “Ellie and Zac met some time ago and became pals.

Feature number three for the Coen Brothers is an eccentric gangster saga with a wonderful slate of mugs — Gabriel Byrne, John Turturro, Albert Finney, Jon Polito, J.E. Freeman, Steve Buscemi — slinging highly entertaining hardboiled dialogue. The witty, insightful story is at heart not a comedy, and the direction impresses in the formal sense — no superfluous camera acrobatics this time. Barry Sonnenfeld’s visual stick in the mind — the Byrne-Turturro execution scene in the woods is one of the highlights of 1990s filmmaking.
