Microsoft plans to stop generating trash from its operations by 2030, the company announced today. It also pledged to stop using single-use plastics in its packaging by 2025.
As part of its zero waste goal, the company will set up what it’s calling “Circular Centers” to allow the company to reuse or recycle 90 percent of its waste on site, instead of sending it to third-party recyclers. One of the big-ticket items that will be recycled in-house are the servers used in Microsoft’s data centers. The company also pledged to eliminate waste from its own manufacturing process, although its suppliers won’t be expected to stick to the same zero waste goal as Microsoft.

The demand from Star Wars fans to see Hayden Christensen return as Anakin Skywalker remains strong. The actor portrayed young Skywalker in Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith. Since then, however, he’s not returned to the big screen to reprise his role as the future Darth Vader.
For years, there’ve been rumors about Christensen returning for a cameo as Anakin. From a potential appearance in Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker to now rumors of a possible role in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, he’s been linked to numerous projects over the last little while. The only appearance he made in The Rise Of Skywalker though was a voice cameo, and there’s still no official confirmation that he’ll be part of Obi-Wan.
With that being said, Radio Times recently released a poll to fans asking how they’d feel about a potential Christensen return as Anakin Skywalker and an overwhelming 94 percent of over 2,000 voters say they want him back. Obviously, there’s more than 2,000 Star Wars fans around the world, but it’s hard to imagine they’d feel any different. There was a lot of disappointment when it turned out Christensen was nowhere to be seen in The Rise Of Skywalker, after all.
Fans are currently holding out hope that the highly-anticipated return of The Chosen One will come on Disney+ for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Of course, given everything that’s going on with the current COVID-19 pandemic, it’s going to be a while before we get any official update from Lucasfilm on the project. In fact, production was put on hold recently, with everyone being sent home rather abruptly.
But don’t lose hope, as there’s still the bright lights of Ewan McGregor returning to play Obi-Wan. So hang in there Star Wars fans, as you might just get your wish.
We all love fantasy casting. Who doesn’t? But casting WWE superstar The Big Show as the Kingpin in Spider-Man 3 might just be one of the most underrated fan-casts ever.
For those of you who don’t know, The Big Show is one of the WWE’s largest athletes and has been in the professional wrestling industry for over 20 years. He’s also one of the more seasoned actors when it comes to wrestlers. So, why not give “The World’s Largest Athlete” a shot at portraying Wilson Fisk? He certainly fits the physical requirements. Fisk is described as a large man whose size and strength are a superpower in and of itself, after all.
The ex-Olympic powerlifter sports an expensive white suit and is always crossing paths with everyone’s favorite web-slinger, and now, thanks to some fan art from ApexForm on Instagram, we can get a glimpse as to what it’d look like if the former WWE Champion were to portray Kingpin on the big screen.
This isn’t the first time The Big Show (real name Paul Wight) has been linked to the Kingpin role, of course. In fact, earlier this year during an interview, Wight was open about his desire to go after the part in a potential Daredevil reboot.
“The one that really I’m looking at it, I would love if they do a remake, I’m definitely going to go after pretty hard is that they do a Daredevil remake. And I’m going to definitely go after Kingpin pretty hard. I think Kingpin’s a shoe-in for me.”
At this point, it looks like the best shot of a Kingpin role opening up anytime soon is if Marvel decides to add him into the upcoming Spider-Man 3. However, even if he does show up there, let’s not forget that Daredevil actor Vincent D’Onofrio is still interested in reprising the role. As such, The Big Show may have some competition.
