According to Forbes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has released another collection in collaboration with Under Amour.
The latest Project Rock collection, in conjunction with the UA Freedom initiative, will help to celebrate and honor the brave men and women who are dedicated to protecting us and our country, every single day. The launch will help support the Fisher House Foundation, which provides a network of comfort homes around the world where families of veterans can stay at no cost while their military family members receive treatment at nearby military hospitals and Veterans Affairs medical centers.
The Rock announced on his Instagram feed, “Grateful to bring you our new 2019 Project Rock x UA Freedom Collection in support of the men and women of our U.S. military. Our @ProjectRock is proud to partner with @FisherHouseFdtn who assists active military, vets and their families while their loved ones are in the hospital. I thank you all for your service. @UnderArmour“
According to Muscle & Fitness, this latest Project Rock collection, called “Chase Greatness,” is the first installment of a yearlong storytelling arc called “Build the Belief.” It is also the first time Seven Bucks Creative, the agency owned by The Rock and his business partner Dany Garcia, has contributed to a UA x Project Rock collection.
“We all want some change in our lives, maybe even greatness,” Johnson says. “But it’s not easy. Sometimes we don’t think we’re good enough or sometimes life deals us a tough hand. But that’s exactly why we grind. In the toughest moments in my life, I’ve stuck by a simple truth: when your back is up against the wall, the only way out is to put the work in. Because when you put in the work, rep by rep, day by day, you build something in yourself. You build the belief that you can do more.
“That’s what our Project Rock collaboration with Under Armour is all about,” Johnson says. “We’re not just giving people the tools to chase their greatness, we’re creating a movement of people who are willing to put in the work.”
The popular actor and wrestling legend has recently launched his liquor brand, Teremana Tequila.
Tony Stark’s death was one of the saddest moments in Avengers: Endgame. However, the water works are about to begin again, because the hero reunites with his grown-up daughter in a deleted scene that was just released by Disney.
On Tuesday, Disney+ officially launched, making many movies, including Avengers: Endgame, streamable to fans. Subscribers noticed the two-minute scene while they were watching the movie on the streaming service, INSIDER reported.
The scene, which takes place in a dream-like setting, features Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why, Knives Out) as an adult version of Morgan, Stark’s daughter who lost her dad in Avengers: Endgame.
If the “I love you 3,000” scene didn’t make you tear up, this one will: Stark gets to meet Morgan again at a later point. It’s unclear where they are, but their brief dialogue goes straight to the heart.
“I’m proud of you and sad. I’m strong like mom and I’m happy,” Morgan tells Stark in the scene. “I’m happy we had the time that we did and that you were there for me.”
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Avengers: Endgame is streaming on Disney+ now.

Season: 4 / Episode: 4
When I read the description of this episode that Midoriya would confront All Might about his relationship with Nighteye or about how he decided to pass his quirk on, I was a little worried. While it has been interesting, we’ve gotten one standout episode in three so far with Overhaul’s introduction and him turning the villain game upside down. But Overhaul and the introduction of Eri about 90 seconds into the episode turned everything on it’s head in the best way. It was unexpected both for the heroes on patrol (Mirio, who we know now as Lemillion & Deku) and for the viewers. They were given explicit instruction to steer away from Overhaul while Nighteye and Bubble Girl did the real scout work, but your boy with the beak mask just rolled up on them via Eri.
The brief confrontation and the awareness that Overhaul gives no fucks whatsoever as he about to ready his killing hand, lead to what I felt was the strongest part of the episode. I know this isn’t all that popular with the MHA Hive and I’ll give the standard disclaimer by saying “I too love me some Midoriya.” But Nighteye got it right, our boy is arrogant. The shonen, never give up, never stop fighting, save everyone no matter the personal cost identity is strong here as it’s always been. I don’t think that should change. But let’s call it for it is and what Nighteye called it, arrogance. Deku almost got Lemillion and himself merked in a dark hallway while they were on some benign patrol. Yeah, it means that you can’t be maximum hero 24/7 for every situation, but its fair to say that his drive is part determination to save everyone and part personal glory under the guise of duty. I was happy to see it called out a bit, which made his last scene with All Might a little more palatable, if you like me were kind of weary about Midoriya’s moping. But we’ll come back to that.
We weren’t given too many clues about Eri’s ability or why she’s covered in bandages except that she’s key to Overhaul’s plan. Which again, we don’t know yet. With the villain Tomura possibly considering Overhaul’s offer to join him, we may get some insight into what those plans may be. It is pretty great that Overhaul carries such a gravity to him that he could be consolidating the villains so easily. It’s not like Tomoura doesn’t have a devastating quirk of his own that commands attention. But it’s interesting to see ruthlessness and maturity be a major factor for pecking order in an Shonen anime. I’m here for it.
The big cruz of the episode is with Midoriya confronting All Might, basically about why he didn’t give his quirk to Lemillion as indicated by Nighteye in the last episode. I mean, look, the math ain’t too hard here. Lemillion is kind of god-tier and he would be unstoppable with One for All (including the required big ass smile). What we get is a far bigger backstory for the rise and fallout of Nighteye and All Might’s relationship. It’s a really strong part of the episode that gives Nighteye even more depth and nuance and shows that Midoriya was kind of in the right place at the right time to be put on this path. It being confirmed that Midoriya may not have been the best candidate to inherit All Might’s quirk but that All Might still stands behind it was the best way to thread that needle. It really does subvert the typical destiny, there can only be one type of storytelling and makes Midoriya even easier to root for. Not that that needed a ton of help, but still.
And then there’s the item of All Might’s destiny which, ya know, I’m not going to spoil that if you haven’t seen it yet. What I will say is…this ain’t great news.
Regardless, MHA seems to be back on track of putting our heroes and villains on a collision course. It’s been pretty focused on Deku and his work study, but it looks like we’re going to see some more classmates in action next episode, so I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of U.A. are going through.
