29 years at Joseph’s House THE DISTRICT It is the plainest of wooden tables, the kind you probably wouldn’t examine closely unless you spilled something on it. And yet, it seems the only fitting place to start Patty Wudel’s story.

The first time she sat at that table was on a Sunday in 1990.

She had met a young black man named Ron at church, and after they talked for a bit, he asked her, “Would you like to meet my family?”

She told him she would, and he led her instead to a house in Northwest Washington, where the door was unlocked and the smell of eggs, ham and coffee pulled them toward the dining room. There, she saw the table topped with food and the chairs around it filled with mostly African American men. Some looked healthy. Some did not.

Wudel joined them for breakfast, and while they talked and laughed, she watched a stronglooking man feed a frail-looking man in a wheelchair.

“I’ve never forgotten that,” she

said recently. “In feeding him, that man in the wheelchair had his place at the table.”

After breakfast, she said, Ron told her that the home was Joseph’s House, a place for homeless men with AIDS. “The way he said it with ease and pride and welcome, no hiding, no shame, no fear, I just fell in love with Joseph’s House,” Wudel said. “Ron died shortly after that, as people did in those days.

But by that time, I had thought of a reason practically every day

“I wanted to belong to these people, with these people.

I wanted these people at the table to be my people.”

PATTY WUDEL, the outgoing executive director of Joseph’s House, recalling how she “fell in love” with the home for homeless men and women with AIDS and terminal cancer

to come back.”

In the 29 years she has spent at Joseph’s House, she has witnessed hundreds of D.C. residents who have not always had a bed get one toward the end of their lives.

She has shared meals with them, held their hands when they could barely move and mourned them once they were gone.

She has also witnessed the population at Joseph’s House change. It used to be the house where the homeless went to die.

It is still that for many, but is also now a place where some get better. Some move out and get apartments. One woman had a baby. Many of the people who now go to Joseph’s House have HIV, but they are there because they also have cancer.

On July 31, she will hand over her title as executive director to Kowshara Thomas, a nurse at the house, and drive toward Western Canada to take care of her 95-year-old mother.

“It’s so hard,” Wudel said of leaving. There is loss at the house, but there is also so much more, she said. “There is also great love and joy and honesty and grown-upness.

There’s intimacy.” THERESA VARGAS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

More sports betting drama POLITICS D.C. Council Member Kenyan R. McDuffie, D-Ward 5, on Friday defended his vote for a no-bid gambling contract, saying that his sole motivation was the best interests of D.C. and its residents.

His statement came a day after The Washington Post published a story about a document that identifies his cousin, Keith McDuffie, as the chief executive of a business that would receive $3 million under the deal.

Keith McDuffie said he is not involved with the business, Potomac Supply Company. Okera Stewart, who is listed in public records as the company’s principal, said the lawmaker’s cousin was mistakenly listed on the document filed with the city by the main sports gambling contractor, Greece-based Intralot.

Keith McDuffie “has no financial ownership interst [sic] in Potomac Supply Company LLC,” Stewart wrote in an email.

Kenyan McDuffie said Thursday he was not aware of records showing anyone other than Stewart running Potomac Supply. He issued a longer statement Friday.

Document suggests D.C. Council’s McDuffie has subcontractor ties

D.C. Council member Kenyan McDuffie, D-Ward 5, says he wasn’t aware that his cousin could have benefited from the city’s sports betting contract.

“I did not know of any document connecting Keith McDuffie to the sports gaming contract as chief executive or otherwise prior to being contacted by The Washington Post, and to date, I have no information that Keith McDuffie is either the chief executive or an agent of Potomac Supply Company, or that he will benefit in any way from the contract,” McDuffie said.

Suspect arrested after boy, 11, shot to death

A woman hiking on the Billy Goat Trail in Montgomery County died after a medical emergency officials believe was related to the heat.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services and U.S. Park Police found a woman in her 30s unconscious on the trail around 2 p.m. on Saturday and put her onto a helicopter, a Park Police spokesman said. She later died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda. (TWP)

A suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting death Thursday of 11-year-old Karon Brown, police announced Saturday. D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said a motive in the killing of the boy in Southeast D.C. still was not known. Newsham said Tony Antoine McClam, 29, was charged Saturday with seconddegree murder. It was not clear what led police to McClam. (TWP)

“Plainly, I was in no way influenced to cast a vote on the sports gaming contract in a manner other than what I believed to be in the best interests of the District of Columbia and its residents.”

McDuffie backed the $215 million, five-year contract with Intralot when it narrowly passed the D.C. Council on a 7-5 margin this month. The contract adds a new

Nine people shot, two of them fatally, in separate incidents overnight Saturday in Baltimore

area to Intralot’s management of the D.C. lottery — a planned online sports gambling venture.

In February, Kenyan McDuffie voted against the idea of sidestepping the city’s usual competitive bidding to award the sports betting contract. But last week, he joined the narrow majority in approving the no-bid deal.

Intralot filed a document with the city that listed Keith McDuffie as the chief executive for Potomac Supply Company, which is to supply paper products as a subcontractor.

On Thursday, Stewart said Intralot officials may have mistakenly believed the lawmaker’s cousin was involved in his company because he had asked Keith McDuffie to send an email on his behalf about Potomac Supply Company to Bailey.

On Friday, the contract’s critics said the possibility of a lawmaker’s relative benefiting is concerning.

“I find it extremely disturbing, and it adds to the quality of this contract being odious, but we don’t have something definitive,” said Council member Mary Cheh, D-Ward 3, who voted against the contract. “I don’t really know if there’s a chance to revisit the issue.” FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Dems oppose Trump speech at Jamestown VIRGINIA Virginia Democrats have expressed outrage over an invitation to President Trump to attend a commemoration in Jamestown later this month.

Their party leader, Gov. Ralph Northam, D, had joined with Republican lawmakers to invite Trump to the July 30 celebration marking the 1619 first meeting of representative government in the English colony.

Democrats reacted angrily on Friday, with some top figures vowing to boycott any ceremony attended by Trump, though they said they would otherwise participate.

“The current President does not represent the values that we would celebrate at the 400th anniversary of the oldest democratic body in the western world. We offer just three words of advice to the JamestownYorktown Foundation: ‘Send Him Back,’ ” top Democrats said in a statement.

The White House on Saturday declined to comment.

Northam’s office said Saturday that the event’s organizers had drafted the letter more than a year ago and asked political leaders to sign it.

“Governor Northam strongly condemns President Trump’s continued attack on immigrants and the diversity that makes Virginia and America who we are,” his spokeswoman Alena Yarmosky said. GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER AND HANNAH NATANSON (TWP)

People try to beat the heat in a water fountain in Brooklyn on Saturday as temperatures reached the upper 90s.

Heat grips East Coast as Midwest gets relief Temperature records broken in several spots; storms hit central U.S. ENVIRONMENT The East Coast on Sunday sweated through another day of heat and humidity as organizers in Boston canceled a road race, Delaware Civil War reenactors got the day off and the New York Police Department implored residents to take it easy.

“Sunday has been canceled,” the NYPD jokingly tweeted.

The central part of the country, meanwhile, enjoyed some relief as a cold front moved steadily southward and eastward across the country, bringing down the

temperatures. But the cooler weather settling in today and Tuesday is also bringing severe storms packed with powerful winds and heavy rains that have caused damage in the Midwest.

From the Carolinas to Maine, daytime highs reached the upper 90s Sunday. Coupled with high humidity, temperatures felt as hot as 110 degrees in places.

“There’s no point being out,” D.C. bus driver Ramieka Darby remarked while taking a quick break amid temperatures of nearly 100 degrees.

In New York City, where all eyes were on the power grid even before the hot weather following a Manhattan blackout last weekend, electricity company

Con Ed reported scattered outages Sunday, the vast majority in the borough of Queens.

The National Weather Service reported high temperatures for July 20 were recorded Saturday at its weather stations in Atlantic City, N.J.; New York City; Westfield, Mass.; Manchester, N.H.; and Wallops Island, Va. Meanwhile, parts of the Midwest are dealing with the effects of damaging winds and rain that swooped in with the cold front that’s breaking up the heat wave.

In Michigan, utility companies DTE Energy and Consumers Energy said roughly 500,000 customers were without power after thousands of power lines were downed. PHILIP MARCELO (AP)

Miller called their views “antiAmerican” and said they “detest America.” Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., defended his colleagues on ABC’s “This Week,” saying the women “love their country and they work very hard and they want to move us toward that more perfect union that our founding fathers talked about.”

Congress’ reluctant witness POLITICS Behind the square jaw, deadeye stare and Marine Corps growl, former special counsel Robert Mueller does have a soft spot when it comes to answering tough questions in congressional hearings.

On Wednesday, when he delivers long-awaited testimony about his investigation into President Trump and Russian interference in the 2016 election, Democrats are hoping to coax from him the kind of dramatic moments that could galvanize public opinion against the president. Republicans, meanwhile, are eager to elicit testimony that shows the investigation was biased from its inception.

Those who know Mueller best are skeptical he will meet either side’s expectations.

“For anybody hoping he’s going to provide new information or evidence against the president, I think many people will be very disappointed,” said John Pistole, who served as Mueller’s deputy for years when he was FBI director. “And then on the other side of the aisle, some may

be disappointed to find out that he’s not a demagogue of the left.”

Mueller is set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee for three hours — a hearing that aims to focus on the question of whether the president obstructed justice. Mueller will also spend two hours before the House Intelligence Committee answering questions about Russia’s election

interference.

Mueller is a veteran of congressional testimony, but past hearings were marked by his polite reticence and lawmakers’ deference to his judgment.

In a 2007 exchange with the House Judiciary Committee, lawmakers asked Mueller to explain a conversation he had with former Attorney General

John Ashcroft about a controversial warrantless wiretapping program run by the National Security Agency. Mueller resisted answering, but then relented as lawmakers pressed.

Some close to Mueller said that that long-ago incident encapsulates his approach to congressional hearings — a desire to say as little as possible, but also a begrudging willingness, when pressed, to try to give lawmakers enough of an answer to make informed decisions.

Current and former law enforcement officials worry that Mueller is stepping into a hyperpartisan horror show, one that is far more toxic and confrontational than any hearing he participated in during his time at the FBI. “This may be the first time he’s ever gone into a hearing where he’s not treated by both sides of the aisle as a credible, nonpartisan figure,” said Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman during the Obama administration.

“There is some evidence that if the Republicans treat him the way they have treated other figures from the Justice Department the last couple years, that he won’t stand for it.” DEVLIN BARRETT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Study: Trump may be making Latinos sick HEALTH Almost three years after President Trump’s election, researchers say they now have enough data to begin to analyze its consequences on society and health. Evidence is growing that it is making some people sick.

A study published Friday using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found the risk of premature birth was higher than expected among Latina women in the U.S. following Trump’s election.

The study, published in the American Medical Association’s JAMA Network Open, found that there were 3% more preterm births than expected among Latina women in the nine months after the election.

Preterm birth is the largest contributor to infant mortality.

Complications such as low birth weight and premature birth have been shown to rise with the stress of natural disasters, racism and domestic violence.

Friday’s study, however, is unusual in its suggestion that politics can be a risk factor for poor pregnancy outcomes.

The lead author of the study noted that it follows other studies that suggest a link to Trump. “It’s not just one piece of evidence,” said Alison Gemmill of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “I think we’re triangulating with all of this evidence that’s coming out, and it’s all more or less telling the same story.” WILLIAM WAN AND LINDSEY BEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

STRAIT OF HORMUZ The release Sunday of an audio recording has shed new light on the seizure of a British-flagged tanker at the hands of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as tensions flare in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The audio released by maritime security risk firm Dryad Global shows that a British frigate was too far away from the targeted tanker to keep it from being diverted into an Iranian port despite U.K. efforts to keep it from being boarded.

On the recording, a sternvoiced British naval officer insists that the U.K.-flagged oil tanker Stena Impero must be allowed to sail through the Strait of Hormuz even as Iranian paramilitary forces demand — successfully — that the vessel change course.

The audio shows how Britain’s once mighty Royal Navy was unable to prevent the ship’s seizure, which has been condemned by Britain and its European allies as they continue to call for a reduction of tensions in the waterway.

importance to the world’s energy supplies because one-fifth of all global crude exports pass through the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman.

Iranian officials say the seizure of the British oil tanker was a justified response to Britain’s role in impounding an Iranian supertanker two weeks earlier off the coast of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory located on the southern tip of Spain.

Friday’s seizure comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran stemming from President Trump’s decision last year to pull the U.S. from Iran’s nuclear accord with world powers and reinstate sweeping sanctions.

The sensor alerts parents via an app notification when a diaper is wet. It also sends information on the baby’s sleep and wake times and allows parents to manually track additional info, such as dirty diapers and feeding times.

Pampers didn’t say how much the system, which is launching in the U.S. this fall, will cost.

The announcement Thursday from Pampers, which is part of Procter & Gamble, is a sign of the growth in the “baby tech” industry. The website Research and Markets predicts the interactive baby monitor market alone will reach more than $2.5 billion by 2024.

Julie Lythcott-Haims, author of “How to Raise an Adult,” said parents should proceed carefully when evaluating data-collecting mechanisms for use on their children.

“When does tracking every move become inappropriate surveillance?” Lythcott-Haims asked. “If we can track their diapers, we can track their Pull-Ups, then we can put trackers on their clothing. Pretty soon, we don’t have to worry because we’ll know everything from before birth to the end of their lives.” MARIE C. BACA (THE

SPACEX VIA AP

SPACE The White House wants U.S. astronauts on the moon pronto — by 2024, a scant five years from now.

The moon will serve as a critical proving ground, the thinking goes, for the real prize of sending astronauts to Mars in the 2030s.

The billionaires’ space club is on board: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Virgin Galactic’s Richard Branson favor the moon before Mars. SpaceX’s Elon Musk also is rooting for the moon, although his heart is set on colonizing Mars.

But Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins prefers a beeline to Mars. Buzz Aldrin, too, is a longtime Mars backer. Back in 1994, on the 25th anniversary of his moon landing with Neil Armstrong, Aldrin questioned whether astronauts would be back on the moon by the 50th anniversary, let alone on Mars, which was the short-lived goal at that time.

Fast-forward to the golden anniversary, and NASA doesn’t even have the capability to get astronauts into orbit around Earth.

Russians are launching American astronauts to the International Space Station — for high prices — until capsules built by SpaceX and Boeing are ready. That likely won’t happen until next year, almost a decade after NASA’s space shuttle program ended.

If there’s one thing NASA has learned in the half-century since Armstrong and Aldrin’s moonwalk, it’s that all the flip-flopping between the moon and Mars by presidential administrations has left astronauts no farther than the International Space Station since the sixth and final Apollo moon landing in 1972.

Tackling an engineering problem like getting astronauts to the moon, according to Bezos (who owns Express), requires consistency. It also requires

government involvement, given the expense and scale of the project, he noted, as well as multiple companies, not just his own Blue Origin, which is intent on building lunar landers.

“What I really hope is that we stick with going back to the moon this time to stay, because that is actually the fastest way to get to Mars,” Bezos said at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library’s space summit last month. “It’s the illusion that you can skip a step. Skipping steps slows you down. It’s seductive, but wrong.”

Branson, whose company is working to take tourists on short flights into space, sees the moon as a more realistic destination for astronauts right now.

“Getting somebody onto Mars will be spectacular, almost as awe-inspiring a thing as the

Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard will also work with the esports team District Gaming.

UNITED IN ATLANTA

WASHINGTON NATIONALS TICKETS GIVEAWAY!

AP

Wizards try a new track WIZARDS As Tommy Sheppard begins his tenure as the Wizards’ general manager, his promotion represents only a fraction of a wide-ranging overhaul of the franchise’s basketball operations department.

The Monumental Sports & Entertainment ownership group plans to announce that Sheppard will be a basketball-focused executive overseeing not only the Wizards and G League affiliate Capital City Go-Go but also esports team District Gaming, according to several people with knowledge of the team’s plans.

Although Sheppard has not yet signed a contract — his interim tag was removed Friday — he and Ted Leonsis, founder and chief executive of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, are expected to agree to terms before the announcement. Sheppard, 50, has been behind all of Washington’s major offseason moves since being named interim president of basketball operations April 2.

as general manager, especially as it relates to the Wizards, will remain the same. He has the approval and budget from Leonsis to implement a one- to three-year vision that will attempt to propel the team past a disappointing 2018-19 season.

Washington finished the season with a 32-50 record. All-Star point guard John Wall dealt with bone spurs and later an Achilles tendon injury that could disrupt his entire 2019-20 season. And the Wizards had an older roster that produced one of the league’s worst defenses. Many of those players were on the final year of their contracts.

This summer, Sheppard has supplied the roster with younger, developing players. Although he acquired three players in their 30s (Isaiah Thomas, Ish Smith and CJ Miles), the Wizards also re-signed or added 10 players who are 26 or younger, and most are on multiyear deals.

With a younger roster, the franchise’s G League affiliate will hold even more significance.

JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Dropping ‘interim’ from GM Sheppard’s title is just a part of an overhaul of front office

During the Go-Go’s inaugural season, the Wizards sent players such as Troy Brown Jr. and Thomas Bryant to the team for brief assignments. Ahead of next season, Washington has already designated rookie Garrison Mathews for a two-way deal and planned for rookie Justin Robinson to develop with the Go-Go. Inside the front office, the vision will continue as the Wizards intend to add to their staff.

Under Sheppard, Washington has designs on creating a pro personnel staff that would model itself after a team’s college scouts, who spend the season preparing for the draft.

The pro personnel staff will travel to NBA and G League games as well as international matchups with the goal of treating free agency like the draft: a year-long process to find potential players to add to the Wizards’ upcoming roster.

Also, in Sheppard’s enhanced role he will guide the franchise’s NBA2K team.

With a background in public relations, the Summer Olympics and domestic and international scouting, Sheppard has a wide network of information and resources. Since April, he has impressed Leonsis as a forwardthinking basketball mind. CANDACE BUCKNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. (9-6-8), which was missing injured team captain Wayne Rooney, has lost four of its last five games. United fell to third in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Atlanta and four behind Philadelphia.

It was the first match Rooney has missed because of ailments since arriving in MLS. Coach Ben Olsen said Rooney didn’t have a serious injury. “There are some signs of wear and tear, some little niggling things,” Olsen said before the game. “It’s just time to give him a mental and physical break. ... It’s not something we want to push right now.” United’s next MLS match is Saturday against Chicago.

‘We’re all one country when it comes to golf,’ says Irish winner Lowry BRITISH OPEN Shane Lowry made the 68 years between British Opens in Northern Ireland worth the wait. The silver claret jug is staying on the Emerald Isle.

Lowry, the 32-year-old Irishman, endured the worst weather of the week and the Sunday pressure of a sellout crowd cheering him along to win the British Open by six shots at Royal Portrush.

Even as the rain stopped, the tears began to flow.

“I can’t believe this is me standing here,” Lowry said as he cradled golf’s oldest trophy.

“I can’t believe this is mine.”

It was never really in doubt.

Lowry closed with a 1-over 72, the first time since 1996 the Open champion was over par in the final round. More difficult than the rain was wind strong enough to break an umbrella.

Lowry began making bogeys in the middle of the round without losing ground. No one from the last 12 groups broke par.

And no one got closer than three shots all day of Lowry, who finished at 15-under 269. Tommy Fleetwood was next at 275.

When his approach to the 18th was just on the fringe, he stretched out his arms, hugging caddie Bo Martin. The loudest cheer of a raucous week was for a tap-in par that made Lowry a major champion.

Royal Portrush last hosted the British Open in 1951, the only time it had been outside Scotland and England. It pinned hopes at the start of the week on Rory McIlroy, who missed the cut

by one shot. It celebrated Darren Clarke hitting the first tee shot Thursday. Portrush native Graeme McDowell basked in the loudest cheers he has heard this side of the Ryder Cup when he walked up the 18th green Sunday.

Then along came Lowry, who won the Irish Open as an amateur in 2009. He joins Padraig Harrington as Irishmen to win majors. McIlroy, McDowell, Clarke and Fred Daly are major champions from Northern Ireland.

Halladay’s widow gives tearful, grateful speech in husband’s absence MLB “I don’t understand why I have to always be the last,” Mariano Rivera joked at his Hall of Fame induction Sunday.

Halladay’s widow, Brandy, fought back tears as she spoke.

Martinez was a seven-time

All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger Award winner for Seattle, where he spent his entire 18-year career. He delivered the first part of his speech in Spanish.

The soft-spoken Baines never displayed much emotion in his 22-year career, but his voice cracked throughout his speech.

“Somehow I acquired a reputation for not saying much. I’m not sure why,” he deadpanned.

Mussina pitched for 18 major league seasons and spent his entire career in the AL East with the Orioles and Yankees. A five-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner, he was the first AL pitcher to win at least 10 games 17 times. JOHN KEKIS (AP)

Jerry Seinfeld is still learning from his guests on ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’

STREAMING Jerry Seinfeld would rather cruise in classic cars and sip coffee with comedy’s best than reboot his uber-successful “Seinfeld” television series.

“No, and do what? Make it worse?” Seinfeld says about his eponymous NBC sitcom, which celebrated the 30-year anniversary of its premiere this month.

“I’m very fortunate to be in the position to make that show with those people at that time. I wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think I could do it again. That’s egomaniacal. I’m happy with what I have now.”

These days, Seinfeld is focused on learning more about the “sharpest minds in comedy” through his Netflix series

“Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” The 11th season, which premiered Friday, features comedians Eddie Murphy, Martin Short, Ricky Gervais, Seth Rogen, Bridget Everett, Barry Marder and Melissa Villaseñor.

Jamie Foxx appears in an episode to talk about his desire to return to stand-up and his impersonation of Dave Chappelle.

“It’s just kind of visual. The words are interesting and sometimes it’s funny, but I like it to have a rhythm and flow and then it’s over,” Seinfeld says. “It’s just very quick. I always like when people go, ‘I wish that was a little longer.’ ” Seinfeld launched “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” on Sony’s Crackle in 2012. The series was

If it ain’t broke …

The format on Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” is tried and tested: Seinfeld picks up each guest in a different vintage car, from a Maserati Mistral or a Rolls-Royce convertible to a beat-up Dodge Monaco. He then takes them to a cafe or restaurant for coffee, where they have an easy-flowing conversation. J.L.

confident as most thought during his rise in comedy. He also didn’t know that Rogen first heard about Bill Cosby’s sexual misconduct history from Hannibal Buress in 2014, a month before Buress accused Cosby in a viral stand-up routine.

For Seinfeld, he feels somewhat like a news reporter in an effort to create a comfortable environment for guests to open up.

“People like to tell me stuff, and I don’t know why,” Seinfeld says.

“It’s happened to me my whole life, because I think I really listen.

But I would never put anything in the show I think the person might not want in there. I want the show to be fun like a little cappuccino foam, just light and pleasant.”

BOX OFFICE HAUL

The domestic box office take for Disney’s remake of “The Lion King,” according to studio estimates Sunday. Industry experts had pegged “The Lion King” for a $150 million opening. Instead, with $185 million, it’s the ninth-biggest opening of all time, a July record (unseating “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2”) and a PG-rating record (taking over from “Incredibles 2”). After opening in China a week early, “The Lion King” has amassed over $531 million in just 10 days. (AP) Ted Danson to star in Tina Fey-produced NBC comedy series

entertainment The studio unveiled its next slate of series and movies at Comic-Con

FILM “Avengers: Endgame” may have closed a chapter for Marvel Studios, but the blockbuster factory is not slowing down.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige led a marathon presentation Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con, announcing plans for the first two years of “Phase Four,” which will include Natalie Portman taking up the hammer as Thor, making Angelina Jolie an immortal for “The Eternals” and rebooting “Blade” with Mahershala Ali.

Jolie was joined at the San Diego Convention Center’s Hall H by “Eternals” castmates Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek and Brian Tyree Henry, as well as director Chloé Zhao.

That movie is due out Nov. 6, 2020, after the Cate Shortlanddirected “Black Widow” kicks things off May 1 with Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh.

Marvel also revealed that newcomer Simu Liu will be playing the lead role in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and coming to theaters Feb. 12, 2021. Liu will star alongside Awkwafina and Tony Leung. Scott Derrickson’s “Doctor Strange

Feige also teased Marvel’s Disney+ “event series”: “Hawkeye,” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “WandaVision,” “Loki” and “What If…?” He closed out with the Ali-starring “Blade” movie news, though no other details were revealed. Feige also didn’t have details for the films “Black Panther 2,” “Guardians of the Galaxy 3,” “Captain Marvel 2,” “Fantastic Four” and “Mutants.”

And Marvel had one more thing to celebrate: “Avengers: Endgame” on Sunday reached $2.79 billion globally, passing “Avatar” as the highest-grossing film of all time. LINDSEY BAHR (AP)

development for “Phase Four” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The news was confirmed by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, right, on Saturday at Comic-Con. The Fantastic Four has seen two previous iterations, in 2005 and 2015. Both films were primarily produced by 20th Century Fox, instead of Marvel Studios. The 2005 film and its 2007 sequel were commercial successes, while the 2015 reboot was a commercial and critical failure. Fans hope that Feige and Marvel taking full control will produce a worthy film.

On Friday, President Trump tweeted that he’d spoken with Kanye West about the situation and would be calling Prime Minister Stefan Lofven to request Rocky’s release. The two leaders spoke Saturday, and Lofven informed Trump that the Swedish government cannot intervene in legal proceedings. Meanwhile, Rocky’s detainment was extended Friday until July 25, prompting accusations that Trump worsened the situation.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez feel like “a ton of bricks has been lifted off their shoulders” after making their public debut as a couple, according to Page Six. Bezos, the Amazon CEO who owns The Washington Post and Express, and Sanchez were seen being affectionate with each other during the Wimbledon men’s singles final July 14. “They were just happy to be together — as Jeff made uncomfortably clear when he couldn’t keep his hands off Lauren!” a source said.

The couple had kept their romance low key during Bezos’ divorce, which was finalized earlier this month. (EXPRESS)
