The Division 2 Will Seemingly Have An Open Beta

The Division 2 will have an open beta, apparently. The Division’s official Twitter account made a casual reference to an “Open Beta” when talking to a fan about rewards.

Players can earn the Capitol Hill Arm Patch for completing the Invaded mission in the previous, pre-order exclusive Private beta, or the upcoming and unannounced Open Beta, the tweet said. Players who simply participate in either beta will earn the DC Patriot Weapon Skin.

Headlines about an open beta for The Division 2 made the rounds today after a community developer mentioned an “open beta” during a livestream.

As mentioned, you had to pre-order The Division 2 to get access to the Private beta that ran earlier this month. The open beta will presumably be … open for everyone to play. It’s not clear at this stage if the content will differ from the Private beta to the Open beta, but keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

The Division 2 launches on March 15 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. For more, check out all of GameSpot’s written and video content for the game here.

Brooklyn Nine Nine Adds Lin-Manuel Miranda As Amy’s Brother

Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda will appear in an upcoming episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. According to Entertainment Weekly, Miranda will play Amy Santiago’s brother, David Santiago, in the March 7 episode “The Golden Child.” The episode will reportedly focus on their sibling rivalry.

Miranda was one of many celebrities who voiced their support for Brooklyn Nine-Nine following Fox’s decision to cancel the show last year. NBC wasted no time in picking up the show, and the current 18-episode sixth season is airing now.

Miranda most recently starred in Disney’s new Mary Poppins movie opposite Emily Blunt. He is perhaps known for creating hit Broadway shows Hamilton and In The Heights. He also co-wrote songs for the Moana soundtrack, which earned him an Academy award nomination.

Miranda has also appeared in TV shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Inside Amy Schumer, and BoJack Horseman, among many others.

Watch Captain Marvel Star Brie Larson Push A 5,000-Pound Car To Train For The Movie

Brie Larson put in some serious training to prepare for her new superhero movie Captain Marvel. Larson tweeted a video today of what she called a “training highlight” that was pushing a 5,000-pound Jeep that had a full tank of gas. She pushed it for a full minute, and don’t worry, someone was behind the wheel to make sure things didn’t go wrong.

You can watch the video below, which chronicles the final twenty seconds of the mighty push.

The 29-year-old Oscar winner did a lot more than just push heavy cars to prepare for her starring title role in Captain Marvel. She told E! News that a major part of the Captain Marvel character is her strength, so she wanted to make sure her body was in shape.

To that end, Larson said she spent three months training 4.5 hours every day. “If I was seeing this movie, I think it would mean so much more to me knowing there was that type of dedication put into it and that it’s not, ‘Girls are strong with CGI,'” Larson said. “It’s, ‘Girls are strong [period]!'”

By the end of her training, Larson said she could deadlift 215 pounds and perform 400-pound hip thrusts.

Captain Marvel hits theatres on March 8, and it’ll be followed by Avengers: Endgame in April. Larson is set to reprise her role as Captain Marvel in that film. You can watch the latest TV trailer for Captain Marvel in the video embed above.

Arrow Says Goodbye to Another Major Player

Warning: This review contains full spoilers for Arrow Season 7, Episode 13. If you need a recap on where we left off, check out our review for Season 7, Episode 12.

Probably the most consistently frustrating thing about the Arrowverse is how rare it is to find compelling minor villains. For every Reverse-Flash or Deathstroke, there are half a dozen “one and done” villains with barely any nuance or motivation to speak of. “Star City Slayer” is a welcome reminder that this doesn’t always have to be the case. The series paid off on a loose end from earlier in Season 7 and used it to fuel a memorably scary outing for Team Arrow.

Daniel Radcliffe Thinks Harry Potter Will Get Rebooted

While debunking rumors that he’ll play Wolverine when Marvel recasts the role, Daniel Radcliffe revealed that he’s not opposed to joining another franchise, despite dedicating a large chunk of his career to the Harry Potter universe.

“Any project that the script is good for, I would be into,” he told IGN while promoting his new TBS comedy series Miracle Workers. “I can completely understand why some directors would be hesitant about putting me into a franchise because I have a lot of baggage from another franchise, so I can see why that would make people not want to do that necessarily. But I would be very happy to.”
