Disney Lorcana Adds Pixar Characters to Wilds Unknown Expansion Set

Story Summary

The Wilds Unknown expansion introduces Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Brave characters to Disney Lorcana, releasing locally on May 8 and globally on May 15. New cards aim to create fresh deck archetypes against the existing Winterspell meta, featuring powerful abilities like recursion and banishment. Early previews suggest these additions offer significant strategic opportunities for both green and blue deck builders.

Prime Video has announced casting for its new series adaptation of the Image Comics title 'Sex Criminals,' featuring Imogen Poots and John Reynolds as Suzie and Jon. The show, developed by Kumail Nanjiani and others, follows couples who freeze time during intercourse to rob banks. Based on comics by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, the project was originally developed at Universal Television in 2015 and is now greenlit for an eight-episode first season.
