Some things just don’t translate
It’s been 15 years since The Incredible Hulk—the Louis Leterrier-directed, pre-Disney Marvel Studios film with Edward Norton playing the big green guy. A lot’s changed since then—but Liv Tyler’s character Betty Ross endures. She’ll make her Marvel return in Captain America: New World Order.
Fortnite Chapter 4 kicks off today with another refresh of its map, and the cinematic trailer paired with the launch shows we can expect to see characters like Geralt of Rivia, the Doomslayer, The Incredible Hulk, and uh, Mr. Beast joining soon.
As with every new chapter, Fortnite’s map has received an overhaul, adding in some new locales, as well as bringing in others players will find familiar. The third chapter wrapped up with players coming together to rebuild the island across various pieces of the island broken apart, changing in real-time as more and more pieces were brought together. You can see that happening in the cinematic trailer below to get an idea of what it was like if you missed out on the event itself.
The Chapter 4 Season 1 trailer is out now too, giving us a stronger idea of what we can expect when we actually dive into the new season when it launches later today. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of motorbikes, a new method of transport that looks like you’ll be able to manoeuvre around the map with. You’ll be able to shoot from them too, so there’s definitely a tactical element that comes with them too.
I GOT a memo from the boss telling me it is Green Week – so to write about something appropriate.
How about this for you, Boss?
You don’t get much greener than this.
This seven-seat Skoda is fully electric, stuffed with recycled materials – and it’s greener than The Hulk after he’s had ten pints.
The cabin floor is made from recycled car tyres – and looks wicked.
The seat fabric is 100-per-cent recycled polyester.

To cut plastics, magnets hold everything from smartphones to metal water bottles securely in place.
No doubt you will have spotted the central baby seat. That WON’T make the real car coming in 2026.
But Skoda might be on to something here, as it is the safest place in a car.
Instead, the real car will have three rows of seats, 2+3+2.
It will also have normal doors. Not those huge rear-hinged doors which are purely to show off the “vision” car’s interior.
Hop inside and the ballerina in Greta’s jewellery box is that rotating central touchscreen.
In Drive mode, it’s upright. In Relax mode, it switches to widescreen for games while recharging.
The software is mega, too.
For example, animated woodland animals pop up on the satnav screen as you pass a forest. Great for kids.
I’m sure we’ll get something similar in 2026. But maybe not drugs and guns in cities.
As for range, the 89kWh battery will do 370 miles, so it’s more likely you’ll need to stop to refuel before the car does.
Expect prices from £50k-£55k.
Do you like it on the outside?
We do. It’s very Range Rover from certain angles. Which is no bad thing.
And Jeep, famous for its seven-slot grille, will be flattered with the, er, seven slots in the bumpers.
Designers insist they were inspired by the grooves in bicycle helmets, with the speckled flecks similar to a pair of Nike Airs.
Price: £50,000 est.
Battery: 89kWh
Range: 370 miles
CO2: 0g/km
Out: 2026
The matte-green paint adds to the “lifestyle attitude”.
Another thing. The “tech deck” at the front of the car, which conceals the cameras and sensors, is supposed to mimic the Mandalorian helmet from Star Wars.
That will please the kiddies. And Rishi Sunak.
Skoda already sells two battery-powered cars – Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe – and will have three more by 2026.
We’ll get a Karoq-sized SUV in 2024, a smaller Kamiq-sized crossover in 2025, then this.

After that, you can expect Octavia – the heart of Skoda – to have pure-electric versions alongside petrol hybrids.
Proper green team.
Captain America: New World Order will combine some of the very newest and oldest elements of the MCU. At today’s D23 Expo, Marvel Studios revealed one of the villains we can look forward to seeing in the movie: The Leader.
If you don’t remember Leader, that’s okay, because he was only hinted at in his last appearance, and that was almost 15 years ago at the very end of 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, the second MCU movie. The movie starred Ed Norton as Bruce Banner, years before the character was recast with Mark Ruffalo in the role. Tim Blake Nelson appeared as Samuel Stearns, and we saw in the movie’s final moments the beginnings of his transformation.
While gamma radiation turned Bruce Banner and his cousin Jen Walters into some of the very strongest beings on the planet Earth, Stearns became one of the most intelligent, with his head growing instead of his muscles. The Leader is one of the Hulk’s most frequent enemies, though there’s no indication yet that Banner himself will appear in the fourth Captain America film.
