The Confirmed Doctor Strange Sequel Is Almost Like a Spoiler For Avengers: Endgame
After months of wondering whether or not there would be a Doctor Strange sequel, we have pretty solid confirmation that it is, indeed, a thing. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has finalized a deal with the director, and the search for a screenwriter is underway. Given the fact that the latest Marvel phase will end with the highly anticipated Avengers: Endgame in April 2019, the Doctor Strange sequel would effectively launch us into the fourth phase of the ever-expanding universe. This, of course, carries great weight when you consider the cliffhanger at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. Let's dig into the possible ramifications (and more sequel news!) ahead.
6 Artists Who Were Tired of Living in 2018, So They Made Nostalgic Videos Instead
This year could certainly be categorized as "rough," which could explain why so many of us were so obsessed with nostalgia in 2018. From switching up our fashion choices to binge-watching '90s reboots, looking back a couple of decades was all the rage - and music videos reflected it, too.
Drake reunited the cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation for his "I'm Upset" video back in May, and Charli XCX and Troye Sivan brought it back to the golden age of my youth for "1999." But most recently, Ariana Grande took us all on a trip down memory lane when she paid homage to classic 2000s teen movies in the fun-filled visuals for "Thank U, Next." Ahead, see which artists turned back time in their videos this year.
OK, I Don't Think I'm Ready to Accept the Fact That These Songs Will Be 20 Years Old in 2019
We've had quite a few bops over the past few years, but nothing quite compares to '90s music. The decade blessed the masses with jams that made people fall in love, bust a move, and scratch our heads. For some reason, the 1990s still don't feel all that long ago. Maybe it's because I choose to be in denial about getting older, maybe time has simply flown - maybe, it's all of the above.
Regardless, the music during that era has maintained such prominence even now. You know good and well that Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" still slaps, "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys is a bonafide classic, and when Juvenile's "Back That A** Up" comes on in the club, we're sprinting to the dance floor. So let's dance down memory lane, and look back at the musical masterpieces that are turning 20 next year.
The Crucial Role Captain Marvel Will Play in Avengers: Endgame
Now that we finally know the title of - and got our first glimpse at - the fourth Avengers film, we have so many questions about what to expect from Avengers: Endgame. After the devastating cliffhanger at the end of Infinity War, it seems like all hope is lost. But if you stayed for the end credits, you know that a new hero is on her way: Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers. Just before being dissolved by Thanos's snap, Nick Fury sends a distress call, and we caught a glimpse at Captain Marvel's logo on his device.
Before we get to Endgame, though, we'll have Captain Marvel, her standalone movie. Her movie is an origin story, set in 1995, so in the timeline of the MCU, it falls over a decade before the first Iron Man. The movie's connections to the current storyline, at least so far, are unknown.
According to IndieWire, that time jump might be crucial to Carol's position as the heroic calvary in Avengers: Endgame. "The focus now is on delivering Captain Marvel and then bringing Captain Marvel's story into the finale of everything we've started thus far," said Marvel president Kevin Feige. Carol's story, therefore, will somehow be a setup for the grand finale of Endgame.
Carol does appear, briefly, in the trailer for Endgame. The popular theory right now? That she, a space-force pilot and commander, will be crucial to rescuing Tony Stark from his seemingly fatal journey into outer space.
Marvel - and leading lady Brie Larson - have been pretty tight-lipped about the specifics, but given that her film is the last one before Endgame and that she was the last call for Nick Fury, it seems safe to say that Captain Marvel will help turn the tide at last when Avengers: Endgame arrives in theaters on April 26, 2019.

Yippee Ki-Yay, Nine-Nine Fans - These Die Hard Trailers For Season 6 Are Simply Magnificent
If you weren't already excited about the season six premiere of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, these trailers will definitely do the trick. The NBC comedy, which originally aired on Fox, will return to the small screen on Jan. 10 courtesy of NBC, and the show has finally released a few trailers to get their fans excited. In them, Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) finally gets to live out his Die Hard fantasy as the cast reenacts the famous rooftop escape scene from the 1988 Christmas-action flick (don't @ me, it is a Christmas movie).
There's lots of dramatic phrasing, repelling off buildings, and a leap off a rooftop mid-explosion that would definitely not work in real life, so we don't recommend trying it at home. While the fantasy is the same in each video, they end on a different joke gag so both are definitely worth the watch. Check them out ahead and get ready for another season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the new year!
18 Female Characters Who Got Us Through 2018
This year was hard, wasn't it? We needed to take solace where we could. And for many of us here at POPSUGAR, that meant escaping the endlessly depressing, gut-wrenching, ever-harrowing news headlines by getting lost in some seriously great movies and TV shows, even just for a few moments. There's only so much a face mask can fix, you know? (Even a really, really good face mask.)
Fortunately 2018 had no shortage of diverse, hilarious, heartbreaking, and brilliantly written female characters to inspire us to keep pushing through the bullsh*t (of which there was a lot, thanks to the current political climate). Whether you sought comfort in the arms of Midge Maisel's arsenal of raunchy stand-up sets, or preferred to watch Shuri kick ass with her brains and fists, there's a good chance your favorite character is on our list ahead.

Victoria Beckham Couldn't Decide Between Pants and a Dress, So She Wore Both
Meghan Markle wasn't the only one to make a dramatic entrance in all black at the Fashion Awards on Monday night. Victoria Beckham also put in an appearance wearing her signature red carpet color, as she arrived at the ceremony accompanied by her husband, David Beckham, and their eldest son, Brooklyn. Naturally, the designer wore a look from her own label, choosing a style from her Spring 2019 collection that featured a crossover neckline. It may have looked like a gown at first glance (and it definitely resembled one from the back), but it was actually more than that: the look featured a long skirt that split from the hip to reveal a pair of pants underneath.
Victoria's really been playing about with the bottom half of her outfits recently. She wore a pair of floor-skimming red pants she called an "optical illusion," then sported leggings with stirrups over her boots rather than beneath them. This latest look is yet another example of how she's turning pants into a style statement whenever she can. Keep reading to see this glamorous look from all angles.

Please Stop Shaming Me For How Many Pets I Have
As someone who's grown up with pets in her home her entire life, I always knew as an adult I'd have a few of my own. Now, five years after college, I have a black lab named Yogi and five cats. Somehow, my fiancé and I manage to live in an 800-foot city apartment quite comfortably - litter boxes and all. And, yes, I love it. Do I have a lot of heartbeats living in a small space? Yup. Is my cleaning schedule absolutely outrageous? Completely. But we make it work.
I love all my pets and ensure I give them enough care and attention, but it's super interesting to watch people react when I tell them exactly how many pets I have living with us. Although I don't mind answering well-meaning questions, when I'm low on patience the shocked gasps and eye rolls are a little hard to ignore. Even among our good friends, our situation has become a bit of a running joke. Then come the questions. Why don't you just give some away? Does your house reek of cat pee? They've definitely ruined your furniture, right?
I don't even mind the term "cat lady." I mean, if the shoe fits, right? My biggest gripe is the judgment - and, well, the assumptions - that come with having more than two cats or one dog. My house doesn't completely stink of animals because I picked an apartment with a layout that keeps the litter boxes away from the main living space. And thanks to my trusty washing machine, I don't go to sleep at night in a bed covered in fur despite the cat-lady stereotypes.
"Although I get having this many furry friends under one roof isn't for everyone, it works for our family."
Ever since I found my oldest cat Big Momma in college - an orange tabby I initially thought was male - and her kittens barely clinging to life in a shed, I did everything I could to help them. Fast-forward a few weeks, and the whole family was flea- and worm-free and finally healthy. The only issue? Every single no-kill shelter in the area was at capacity. And while I was confident people would clamor to adopt the kittens, I wasn't so sure about Big Momma, who was apparently already 3. It's well known in the pet rescue community that the chances of getting an adult cat adopted plummets to 60 percent once they hit 18 months old. And believe it or not, black cats have even less of a chance of finding a forever home because of the superstition that they're bad luck.
That's when I decided that after spending upwards of a thousand dollars - yes, literally - they were a package deal and I'd just keep them. After all, my parents loved cats and I had a job lined up after graduation at a local paper. So why not, right? Throw the dog my fiancé adopted before we met and two 9-month-old cats I found on the side of the road into the mix, and it's definitely a party.
Although I get having this many furry friends under one roof isn't for everyone, it works for our family. With that being said, I'm not going to be offended if any of my non-pet-loving friends don't want to eat dinner at my house. That's why restaurants exist. Allergic? No problem! I won't force you to come watch a movie at my place.
The only thing I ask is that you respect my lifestyle. Because although my Roomba is circulating my apartment at all hours of the day ,and cleaning the hair off my couch is a daily chore, I wouldn't have it any other way. Hell, I love those little fur balls no matter what wee hour of the night they wake me up for food. Long story, short: we have everything under control.

The Completely Addictive Method of Cooking Broccoli and Cauliflower
It won't be a challenge to eat your veggies if you try this easy technique for roasting cauliflower and broccoli. For months, a few women in our office have been praising roasted cruciferous veggies. I'm already a huge fan of baked kale chips, roasted brussels sprouts, and oven-crisped cabbage, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to try out roasted cauliflower and broccoli. Now that I have, I'm never going back to the steamed stuff. The oven morphed the little veggie trees into crisp nuggets that could almost pass for chips. They are addictive . . . don't be surprised if those around you fight for the last bites!
Here's what you'll do:
- Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into equally sized pieces.
- Spread across a rimmed sheet tray, leaving space between each floret. Drizzle olive oil across the veggies and salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in a 400°F oven for 18-23 minutes, or until crispy to your liking.

I Went to the Pasta World Championship in Italy, and It Was a Carb-Lover's Dream Come True
A lot has changed throughout my life, but one thing has remained constant: my love for pasta. I've eaten it several times a week since I was a toddler. If it's on the menu, I'm getting it. If it's my birthday, I'm picking the Italian restaurant and ordering two pasta dishes for myself. Speaking of birthdays, for my most recent one, my boyfriend gave me an "al dente" shirt from Reformation, and another friend gave me a "types of pasta" sweatshirt (oh, and she's the same one who got me a farfalle necklace on a previous occasion). They say you find out who your friends are, you know? So one morning when I read the email subject line "Pasta World Championship in Milan," you can imagine the audible gasp that left my mouth. My lifelong carb consumption led me to this exact moment. Of course, I had to go.
So what is the Pasta World Championship, exactly? It's a competition Barilla has hosted for seven years, and it's legitimately like the Super Bowl of pasta cooking. After a series of "tryouts," a total of 17 chefs made it to the final championship in Milan, ready to battle it out until one would be crowned the winner. It works the same way a tournament works - finally, a bracket I care about!
Chefs from around the world came to represent their countries and go head to head in a series of one-on-one cook-offs with only one hour on the clock. After plating their final dish, each contestant had to present their food to a table of five judges, who tasted each creation. If you're thinking this sounds like Chopped, you're exactly right. Ted Allen would've loved it.
I never imagined being in a big room in Italy with hundreds of like-minded, pasta-obsessed people. It was truly absurd in the best way possible. If you, too, care about cacio e pepe more than you care about most people, keep reading to see what it was really like.
