Jennifer Lawrence, Indiana Jones: The Mary Sue’s Favorite Comments Of The Week

Stephen Spielberg has just cast Jennifer Lawrence in his first female lead role since The Color Purple, but coldmilk has a much better idea for her—what if she's our new grail-hunting, artifact-snatching explorer? Embrace it, Jennifer! IT IS YOUR DESTINY.

It’s Our First Look At The Supergirl Costume! EEEEE!

It gets better! Wait until you see the skirt!

The Trailer For Veep Season 4 Is Here And It’s Magnificent

We haven't covered Veep much here at The Mary Sue in the past, but if you're a fan of dark, cynical humor full of awful people, American politics—which, as we all know, are inherently full of awful people (save for Leslie Knope, bless her), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus acting really awkward, then you need to start watching this show. Plus, it's set in the same universe as The Thick Of It, so you never know—maybe we'll get a Peter Capaldi cameo some day?

MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER - "Valediction" - Peggy faces the full fury of Leviathan, as Howard Stark makes his return in the explosive season finale of "Marvel's Agent Carter," TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/Kelsey McNeal) HAYLEY ATWELL

Agent Carter Producer Talks About The Show’s Future And How It Lines Up With Civil War

Between the two of them, Tara Butters and Marc Guggenheim have worked on Arrow, The Flash, and Agent Carter, as well as the upcoming DC webseries Vixen and CBS's Supergirl —oh, and they're also married, which is adorable. Anyway, they spoke about all their shows last weekend at Long Beach Expo, but what we really wanted to know more about was this: is Peggy Carter coming back? When do we get more Peggy??

Overwatch Commits To Body Diversity With New Female Character Who Could Totally Bench Press You

We're admittedly pretty pumped for the diverse roster we saw in the last Overwatch trailer, but one thing still worried us: the lack of body diversity among their female characters, who underneath all the armor appeared to share the same "generic sexy thin-framed game lady" build with one another. Well, good news! Blizzard has heard our concerns, and their latest is exactly what we were looking for—somebody ripped as hell.

Why There Probably Won’t Be a Dredd Sequel (Unless They Can Hire The Rock)

Adi Shankar's been in the public eye a bit more than usual thanks to the Power/Rangers fan film he produced, but he's got a lot of awesome genre cred going for him in other places—including as a producer for Dredd, AKA The One Where Karl Urban Makes a Grumpy Cat Face For 90 Minutes. So why hasn't this legitimately good film gotten a sequel greenlit? Because of France. DAMN YOU, FRANCE.

Samantha Bee Will Host New Show On TBS That Is Not The Daily Show

Despite many late night TV fans declaring Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee a shoe-in to host the show after Jon Stewart leaves—and despite a vaguely worded tweet about good news that left her Twitter followers speculating wildly—Bee announced today that she will leave will actually be joining her husband Jason Jones in creating a new comedy series for TBS instead. Hoo boy, these are some mixed emotions I'm feeling.

Wil Wheaton To Play President Abraham Lincoln In A Video Game Because Life Is Grand

Four score and seven years ago, Wil Wheaton recorded a bunch of lines for Codename S.T.E.A.M., and now you will be able to hear him in the game when it comes out next week—as ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Wait, this makes total sense. Everyone knows that Abraham Lincoln invented the emoticon, and Wil Wheaton is the current president of the Internet! It fits, I tells ya! It aaaaaall fits!

Swedish TV Host Starts Fire Live on Air While Frying Cheese Doodles for Some Reason

Today is Cheese Doodle Day, evidently, so this morning Nyhetsmorgon host Jenny Strömstedt asked her viewers for tips on how to best "prepare" them (because I guess just eating them out of the bag with your greasy cheese-stained fingers isn't proper in Sweden). Then her co-host suggested she try to flip them in the air while frying them over a stove, and everything worked out for the best. Wait. Is the best supposed to be on fire?

FINALLY The Avengers Age Of Ultron Black Widow Funko Pop! Is Here And She Is Rad

We were as bummed as anybody when the first batch of Age of Ultron Funko Pop! tie-ins featured all the dudes of the team—including The Vision, even!—and nary a Natasha in sight. Well, THANK GOD they've finally announced one for a May release, and she is exceptional. Look at the belt and bite details! Her hair! The sticks! The firmly planted feet that won't knock over like so many daintier figures! (Lookin' at you, Season 1 Daenerys.)
