Wally West Won’t Be a Series Regular on LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Next Season
Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West was a key supporting character on The Flash for a couple years, before leaving during its fourth season. He went on to join Legends of Tomorrow in the second half of this past season, and he was arguably a better fit there than he ever was on Flash. Unfortunately, even that has to come to an end. According to TV Line, Lonsdale will not be returning to Legends of Tomorrow season four – at least as a series regular. No reason was given for the exit, but the door is open for him to return in the future in any capacity. However, Wally will pop up…

Box Office Report: SOLO Drops Big in Second Weekend, DEADPOOL 2 Nears $600 Million Worldwide
Lucasfilm’s Solo: A Star Wars Story experienced an underwhelming box office opening last weekend, making just a little over $100 million over four days. Compared to other recent Star Wars movies, that’s really low. It’s especially bad when considering the film’s $250-300 million (possibly more) budget. So, eyes are on later weeks to see how it performs. Unfortunately, if its second weekend is any indicator, it’s not looking too good. Per Box Office Mojo, Solo grossed an estimated $29.3 million this weekend. While it still retains the #1 spot, that’s a 65% drop from last week. It’s still a smaller drop than The Last Jedi‘s 67% drop, but not by much.…
