The third Ant-Man movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, comes out on HD digital Tuesday.

The latest movie has Paul Rudd‘s size-shifting hero Scott Lang enjoying a bit of notoriety following the defeat of Thanos as seen in Avengers: Endgame, only to face a tiny-yet-massive new threat: Jonathan Majors‘ Kang the Conqueror, who rules over the microscopic Quantum Realm with his sights set on the world above.

When his daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton), builds a machine to explore the Quantum Realm from afar, things go awry. Cassie, Scott, Evangeline Lilly‘s Hope Van Dyne and her parents, Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne (Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer, respectively), get sucked into the mysterious subatomic universe. Once there, Janet must face the past she left when she was stranded there for decades.

The digital release comes with supplemental material, including a gag reel, deleted scenes and commentary from director Peyton Reed.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania comes out on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD May 16. While a Disney+ release date hasn’t been announced, it will likely be available for streaming for subscribers around that time.

Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.

Nicki Minaj not only rapped on “Princess Diana (Remix),” she may be celebrating Diana‘s ex-husband, Prince Charles. In a tweet promoting her new single with Ice Spice, Nicki joked she’ll “be attending the coronation.”

“Thank you. Stream #PrincessDiana until I land,” she continued. Nicki then followed with a message giving fans more details and showed off her knowledge of British lingo.

“Fank you. Proper excited, really. Yes, it appears there was one seat open right next to Harry,” she wrote. “I rang his telly & said: ‘You be Harry Potter, & I’ll be Hermoine.’ We both loffed. Met him on the jet and now here we are. Ttyl.” She also reiterated a similar message on a Twitter voice note, broadcasting her British accent.

“Princess Diana (Remix)” dropped Friday on Nicki’s newly announced label, Heavy On It Records. It marks the beginning of her partnership with Ice, with whom she recently twerked on social media.

Nicki’s name is also in headlines as Rep. George Santos reportedly introduced a new vaccine bill named after the rapper. The Medical Information Nuanced Accountability Judgement Act, or the MINAJ Act, seeks to prohibit the federal government from enforcing any mandate to get a vaccine that hasn’t been authorized for marketing for at least a decade.

Nicki had previously stated her reluctance to get vaccinated, noting a family friend’s adverse reaction and her need to do more research.

“They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research,” she wrote at the time.

She said that her cousin’s friend “got it,” “became impotent,” and had his wedding called off. “Just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied,” she advised.

FDA simplifies COVID vaccine schedules, withdraws authorization for older COVID-19 vaccines targeting virus’ original strain

(SILVER SPRING, Md.) — The Food and Drug Administration authorized a second omicron-targeted bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine for people over 65 or who are immunocompromised, the agency announced Tuesday.

The agency also said any adult who has not yet been vaccinated will get one dose of an updated bivalent shot, rather than starting with the original vaccine and receiving the bivalent shot as a booster. The FDA is withdrawing authorization for those older COVID-19 vaccines targeting the original strain of the virus.

It’s part of an overall move to simplify the COVID-19 vaccination process, the agency said in a statement. United States regulators are shifting towards a flu shot-like model for COVID-19 vaccines, where people get a single shot every year that’s updated annually to match the virus strain predicted to be in circulation.

“At this stage of the pandemic, data support simplifying the use of the authorized mRNA bivalent COVID-19 vaccines and the agency believes that this approach will help encourage future vaccination,” Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.

The original COVID-19 vaccine was matched against the first strain of the virus first identified in Wuhan, China. That strain of the virus is no longer circulating — the omicron variant and its sub variants are the predominant strains throughout the world. The bivalent shots target both that original strain and the omicron variant. They were first authorized as booster doses in fall 2022 and research shows they offer stronger protection against infection and serious illness from omicron than the original shot.

Now, they’ll be the only vaccines available in the US. Adults who haven’t been vaccinated and who want to get vaccinated can get just a single dose of that vaccine, rather than a series of multiple shots. Unvaccinated children will still get multiple shots. Children 6 months through 5 years of age can either get two doses of the Moderna bivalent vaccine or three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

Vaccine uptake has slowed to a crawl in the U.S. Only 16.7% of people in the US overall and less than half of people over 65 have received a bivalent booster shot, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even though FDA is making a second bivalent booster shot available to people over 65, it’s not clear how widely it’ll be used.

But a single, annual shot could help encourage more vaccination, says ABC News contributor Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children’s Hospital

“Simple and clear messaging is critical when it comes to ensuring vaccine uptake,” he said. “Moving to a model that resembles the yearly flu shot campaign will help focus messaging and help increase population immunity ahead of a potential fall surge.”

FDA advisors will meet in June to discuss updating the vaccine composition for fall 2023.

“COVID-19 is not influenza,” Marks said during a press briefing Tuesday. “But that said, we’re using that public health model where we’ll look to do our best to select what we believe to be likely to circulate the following fall and winter season, and use that in the vaccine composition to try to protect as many people during the season in which respiratory viruses tend to wreak havoc.”

Despite these steps, research on COVID-19 is ongoing and scientists are still working to understand the seasonal patterns and evolution of the virus. The new approach to COVID-19 vaccination may not be the last change, Brownstein said.

“We still have to recognize that the future of covid remains uncertain and this trial vaccination strategy may have to be modified,” he says.

Aftermath of Jeremy Renner’s snowplow accident revealed in body camera footage

First responders are seen racing to rescue Jeremy Renner after the Avengers star’s snowplow accident in dramatic body camera footage obtained by ABC News.

In the video, medics are seen working on Renner after he was crushed by a 7-ton snowplow on his Nevada property on New Year’s Day, an accident that resulted in him breaking more than 30 bones.

“Right where his blood is at, that’s right where it all happened,” Renner’s nephew Alex Fries is overheard telling the first responders.

Fries tells the first responders how his uncle intervened to save him from the snowplow as they were trying to get a pickup truck out of the snow, saying the snowplow was “coming at me full force.”

“He tried to jump on it?!” one first responder asked, with Fries affirming the series of events.

“He tried to jump on it and it took him under,” Fries explained.

Elsewhere in the body camera footage, one of the first responders finds Renner’s hat underneath the snowplow, saying, “Oh, wow. Get a picture of that. That’s a hat.”

Renner underwent surgery and rehabilitation as a result of the accident, and is still recovering.

However, he was able to attend the red carpet premiere of his Disney+ series Rennervations last week with his 10-year-old daughter, Ava, by his side.

In a recent exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer, Renner said he considers himself a “lucky man” for having survived and largely recovered from the horrific accident.

Carl Palmer is once again hitting the road with his celebration of Emerson, Lake and Palmer

Just like his late 2022 shows, The Return of Emerson, Lake & Palmer 2023 Summer Tour will have Palmer performing alongside live footage of his late bandmates Keith Emerson and Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. 

“The film ELP made of its sold out run at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1992 had everything we needed to make these tours happen,” Palmer shares. “We were able to use just the camera shots of Keith and Greg, with the sterling audio tracks of their performances resulting in a combination of film and onstage performance of my band that brings back the magic of ELP.” 

The tour is set to kick off July 8 in West Jefferson, North Carolina, wrapping July 29 in Westbury, New York. A complete list of dates and ticket information can be found at carlpalmer.com.

Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin fully cleared for football activities

(NEW YORK) — Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been fully cleared for football activities after collapsing and needing lifesaving CPR during a Monday Night Football game in early January.

“He is fully cleared. He’s here,” general manager Brandon Beane told reporters in a pre-draft press conference Tuesday. “He’s in a great headspace to come back and make his return.”

Beane said Hamlin met with three specialists, most recently on Friday, and all of them were in “lockstep” on allowing Hamlin to play again.

“He’s cleared, resumed full activities, just like anyone else who’s coming back from an injury,” Beane said.

Hamlin, who spoke to reporters Tuesday afternoon, said he was anxious initially getting back on the field.

“My heart is still in the game. I love the game,” Hamlin said, adding he wants to show he can get back on the field. “It’s something I want to prove to myself, not nobody else.”

He continued, “I just want to show people that fear is a choice, that you can keep going at something without knowing the answers, without knowing what’s at the end of tunnel.”

Hamlin also posted a video to Instagram Tuesday afternoon showing him working out.

Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on Jan. 2 in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He briefly stood up but collapsed after making a tackle. The training staff rushed on the field and medical professionals restarted the 25-year-old’s heart on the field.

The game was paused and eventually canceled entirely as the seriousness of the injury became apparent.

He was taken to a nearby hospital and remained on a ventilator for three days. He slowly woke up and was able to communicate immediately with doctors and family, with his first question being whether the Bills won the game. Days later was flown back to Buffalo to continue his recovery.

Doctors have not made it public what exactly caused his heart to stop.

“We’re super excited for Damar,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday. “He’s moving forward one step at a time here. He’s been cleared from a physical standpoint.”

Hamlin told ABC News’ Michael Strahan in mid-February that he planned to return to football.

“I’m just thankful [God] gave me a second chance, you know, just to live normally and just come out almost without a scratch on me,” Hamlin told Strahan. “Just to be able to keep going.”
