It took nearly five years and a crew of a thousand, but the second chapter of Christopher Miller and Phil Lord’s “Spider-Verse” film series has arrived. In “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” Lord and Miller set out not just to surpass the high bar of their 2018 original but upend big-studio animation and the more-of-the-same expectations of sequel-making. “Across the Spider-Verse” blew past expectations on opening weekend, debuting with $120.5 million, more than triple what “Into the Spider-Verse” launched with. What was once a quirky bit player in the hulking world of superhero movies has turned into a blockbuster in its own right.
The Cincinnati Reds are promoting 6-foot-5 shortstop Elly De La Cruz to make his major league debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Baseball America ranks De La Cruz as the sport’s third-best prospect, citing a tantalizing power-speed combination that gives him huge upside. He is hitting .298 with 12 home runs, 11 stolen bases and a 1.031 OPS with Triple-A Louisville this season.

His testimony shone a light on life as a royal and on Harry’s bitter personal feud with the press. Harry described a lifetime of press intrusion that he says cast him as a “thicko” and wrecked his personal relationships. He lashed out at Mirror Group Newspapers for its treatment of his late mother, Princess Diana, and called for regulation of the British press. But he was grilled by the newspapers' lawyer, who said many of Harry's allegations of illegal activity were “speculation.”

A major dam in southern Ukraine has collapsed, flooding villages, endangering crops in the country’s breadbasket and threatening drinking water supplies. Both sides in the war are rushing to evacuate residents and blaming each other for the destruction.

It was not possible to verify the claims. The disaster has potentially far-reaching environmental and social consequences as homes, streets and businesses flooded downstream and emergency crews began evacuations.
