He is also an experienced baseball writer with over six years of articles between multiple outlets, most notably FanSided's CubbiesCrib. Whether it's taking in a baseball game, a new season of Futurama or Castlevania: Nocturne, or playing the latest From Software title, he is always finding ways to show his fandom. When it comes to gaming and anything that takes inspiration from it, he is deeply opinionated on what's going on. Outside of entertainment, he's a graduate of Eureka College with a Bachelor's in Communication where he honed his craft as a writer. Between The IV Leader at Illinois Valley Community College and The Pegasus at Eureka, he spent the majority of his college career publishing articles on everything from politics to campus happenings and, of course, entertainment for the student body. Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

A big-time MCU star may be answering the call of the Bat-Signal. According to a new report, Scarlett Johansson is currently in talks to join Matt Reeves' much-anticipated The Batman Part II in a new role. Nothing is final at this time, but if completed, she'll be set to link up with Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader when the film releases in 2027. As expected, details about who the former Black Widow will be playing in the film are locked up tight in the Bat Cave for now, though it's expected to be a big turn for the Oscar nominee.
