A rumour indicates Jack Sparrow, from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean film series, could be coming to Fortnite, the battle royale game.

With Chapter 5 Season 1 of Fortnite, several long-requested collaborations have finally arrived. Not only did Family Guy’s Peter Griffin get added as part of the latest Battle Pass, but other characters, such as The Weeknd, Frieza, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, have all hit the Item Shop at one point or another. But it’s best not to take it as a guarantee until there is news from Epic Games in a formal capacity.

Justin Timberlake wanted only the best of the best for his newly announced album, “Everything I Thought It Was”, releasing on March 15. In an interview for Apple Music 1, the pop star revealed he had to make some drastic cuts to his collection of songs recorded in the years since his last project.

“I worked for a long time on this album and I ended up with 100 songs,” he said. “So narrowing them down to 18 was a thing, and then, yeah, I’m excited about this album. I think every artist probably says this, but it is my best work.”

“Everything I Thought It Was” will mark Timberlake’s first solo LP since 2018’s “Man of the Woods”, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

In the upcoming biopic Michael, Miles Teller will play John Branca, “the unyielding attorney who shepherded Michael Jackson’s career as he transitioned from a singing sensation in a boy band to the world-renowned King of Pop.”

The cast of Michael also includes Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson, Colman Domingo as Michael’s father, Joe Jackson, and Nia Long as Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson. Michael will give “a riveting and honest portrayal” of Michael Jackson, who died at age 50 in 2009, presenting “his triumphs and tragedies on an epic, cinematic scale — from his human side and personal struggles to his undeniable creative genius, captured by his iconic performances,” an official synopsis reads. Michael opens in theatres April 18, 2025.
