Collider’s Steve Weintraub hosted the virtual panel, emceeing a wide-ranging discussion about Constantine with its principals: actor Keanu Reeves, director Francis Lawrence and producer Akiva Goldsman. They delved deep into Constantine, an early DC comic book movie about an occult detective, that was released in 2005. This adaptation received lukewarm reviews at the time, in part because of how it diverged from the source material, but aged well considering it came after Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy and the Marvel Cinematic Universe became the juggernaut that it is today....

Paulo Dybala’s opener was cancelled out by Lautaro Martinez’s 18th-minute penalty at San Siro, but Gonzalo Higuain scored a late winner for Juve.

Despite Inter’s bright start, Conte said his growing team should not be compared to Juventus. “We could certainly have done a lot better, even in the two goals we conceded in Barcelona [in the Champions League] we could have done a lot better,” he told Sky Sport....

It was a field day for the Selecao with goals galore from all areas of the pitch as Casemiro, Roberto Firmino, Everton, Dani Alves, and Willian got on the scoresheet. After a stuttering start by Tite’s men, Casemiro drew first blood in the 12th minute. The hosts doubled their lead as Firmino capitalized on a horror clearance from Pedro Gallese to open his account in the tournament. Gremio’s Everton decided proceedings with a drilled long-range finish that saw Gallese botch a savable near post attempt....

One thing that stays in each farming sim though is the ability to romance characters, and with several bachelors and bachelorettes to choose from, players might need to take their time to find the perfect match. One such match is the beloved blacksmith, Pablo....
