Sacha Baron Cohen Hints at More Mephisto After Ironheart Debut

Sacha Baron Cohen Hints at More Mephisto After Ironheart Debut

Sacha Baron Cohen has suggested that his Marvel character Mephisto may return after the villain's first appearance in Ironheart, while also indicating that Borat may be finished as an active screen character. (Mephisto's Potential MCU Return Addressed By Sacha Baron Cohen, ScreenRant) Separate reporting from IGN says Cohen is leaning away from another Borat project even as speculation around Mephisto grows. (Sacha Baron Cohen Says Borat May Never Return, But Gives Hope for Mephisto's Future, IGN)

What Happened

Mephisto appeared in the final episode of the Disney Plus series Ironheart, giving Marvel viewers their first on-screen look at the long-rumored character. Yahoo's coverage notes that Cohen had less than five minutes of MCU screen time so far, but still said he expects Mephisto to return. (Despite having less than five minutes of screentime in the MCU so far, Sacha Baron Cohen thinks Mephisto will return, Yahoo)

Why It Matters

The update matters because it links Cohen to two very different entertainment storylines at once: the possible end of Borat as a recurring franchise figure and the beginning of a potentially larger Marvel role. If Mephisto returns, Marvel would be expanding a character that fans have discussed for years before his actual arrival in the franchise.

What Comes Next

Marvel has not announced a specific follow-up project centered on Mephisto, so the next step is likely to come through future casting news or a broader MCU slate update. For now, the public signal is limited but notable: Cohen is openly discussing the character's future, and multiple outlets are treating his Ironheart debut as the start of a longer arc rather than a one-off cameo.

Garrick Higgo Splits With Caddie After PGA Championship Penalty

Garrick Higgo Splits With Caddie After PGA Championship Penalty

Garrick Higgo has changed caddies just days after a costly rules penalty at the PGA Championship, ending his partnership with Austin Gaugert and bringing back Nick Cavendish-Pell for this week's CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Dallas.

What Happened

According to reports from Yahoo Sports and Golfweek, Higgo split with Gaugert on Monday. No formal reason was given for the change, but the timing drew attention because it came immediately after Higgo's late arrival for his opening-round tee time at the PGA Championship at Aronimink.

Why the Split Drew Notice

Higgo was assessed a two-stroke penalty after arriving late to the tee on Thursday. He later said he was there at 7:18 and 30 seconds, but under the rule, even being one second late counts as late. Golfweek noted that he shot 69 in the first round despite the penalty, then followed with a 76 on Friday and missed the cut by one stroke. Without the penalty, he would have played the weekend.

The Caddie Change

Golfweek reported that Higgo has hired Nick Cavendish-Pell, who previously worked with him and was on the bag for Higgo's first PGA Tour win at the 2021 Palmetto Championship. Yahoo Sports also reported that Cavendish-Pell will rejoin Higgo this week in Dallas. Gaugert had been on the bag for Higgo's 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship win.

What Comes Next

Player-caddie changes are common on tour, but this one lands differently because it followed a highly visible mistake at a major. The next question is simple: whether the reunion with Cavendish-Pell settles things quickly and helps Higgo regain momentum.

Billie Jean King Finishes Her College Degree at 82

Billie Jean King Finishes Her College Degree at 82

Billie Jean King added another milestone to a life already packed with them, graduating from California State University, Los Angeles with a bachelor's degree in history more than six decades after she first left school to pursue tennis full time.

A Degree Interrupted by Greatness

King originally left college in 1964 while already emerging as a major force in tennis. Both The Guardian and WTA Tennis report that she returned after learning she was only about a year short of completing the degree she started in the early 1960s.

Why the Moment Matters

This was not just a symbolic walk across a stage. King completed the final coursework, including historical research and writing, while reflecting on movements she helped shape, including Title IX and LGBTQ+ equality. That gives the graduation an unusual weight: she was not simply being honored for past fame, she was finishing the academic work itself.

The Broader Legacy

King's athletic record was already secure long before this week's ceremony. Her career includes 39 Grand Slam titles, the founding of the WTA, a central role in the push for equal prize money, and the iconic 1973 "Battle of the Sexes" victory over Bobby Riggs. The new degree does not change that legacy, but it sharpens another part of it: persistence over prestige.

What She Told Graduates

At commencement, King framed the moment as both personal and collective, telling classmates it was a privilege to stand with them as a member of the graduating class. The Guardian reported her joking line about the long timeline: "Yeah baby, only 61 years!" The point landed because it was true. She came back, did the work, and finished what she started.

Bottom Line

For most public figures, late-career honors are ceremonial. This one was earned the slower way. Billie Jean King's latest headline is not about nostalgia. It is about completion.
