HipsterZOMBIEJoint Presents: Fact Or B.S.?!?

There is a ton of fake news and clickbait that surrounds the internet. For every bit of truth, there are a ton of lies floating around to get you to just click, tag, or follow. With ”Fact or BS” I want to try and dispell these rumors and save you some time so lets jump right in:

1. Stephen Amell (star of CW’s Arrow) had a severe panic attack while recording a podcast recently:

Stephen Amell is opening up about panic attacks after having one midway through recording a podcast.

The former Arrow star was taping an episode of Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum when he started to get overheated and nauseous, telling former Smallville star and podcast host Michael Rosenbaum that he “might be sick.”

Amell, 38, who had recently ended his eighth and final season on Arrow after requesting to leave the show to spend more time with his family, said he needed to cut the podcast short and walked home to get some fresh air, declining Rosenbaum’s offer to give him a ride. He made it home to his wife and 6-year-old daughter and ended up on the couch with chills.

2. Patrick Stewart to reprise his role as Professor X in MCU?

Sir Patrick Stewart met with Marvel CCO Kevin Feige “a couple of months ago” for some “long, long conversations”, the actor has revealed. Speaking to Digital Spy, the actor makes it sound like the conversations were more than just a friendly catch-up.

“I met with Kevin Feige a couple of months ago and we had long, long conversations,” Stewart says. “And there have been moves and suggestions, which include Charles Xavier.”

Don’t get too excited, though. Stewart says that 2017’s Logan, one of the best superhero movies of all time, essentially shut the door on his portrayal of Professor X. “Here’s the problem… If we had not made Logan, then yes, I would probably be ready to get into that wheelchair one more time and be Charles Xavier. But Logan changed all that.”

The phrase “moves and suggestions” implies Feige had some kind of plan for Stewart’s version of Professor X in the MCU, but it’s tough to figure out what that would be without more detail.

3. The Obi-Wan Series is DEAD at Disney+

There has been a rumor going around last week that Disney has opted to cancel their upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series with Ewan McGregor coming out. The fanbase was sent aflame with the news, but as it turns out, it was all false.

Sources have told The Wrap that the rumor of the Obi-Wan series is false. This was just a story that has been up by the parody Twitter account @DicsussingFilm—a play at the more trusted source, @DiscussingFilm.

No release date has been set for the Kenobi series, but you can catch The Mandalorian now on Disney+.

4. Whoopi Goldberg to star in Picard Season 2?

Patrick Stewart, who returns as Capt. Jean Luc Picard in the CBS All Access series, ‘Star Trek Picard,’ invited Whoopi Goldberg to return as her character, Guinan, for the new show’s second season. Hopefully she don’t bring the farts with her…
