'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Star Trek' Sequels Get Official Titles, Plus: First 'Ghostbusters' Costumes
Today is a good day for geek franchises. We’ve already gotten some Marvel tidbits, most notably that the new standalone Spider-Man movie would be taking notes from John Hughes’ high school movies, and now there are even more morsels on the way. And, surprisingly, they’re not all Marvel related!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
That’s the official title of the next Guardians of the Galaxy, which was first revealed by Kevin Feige during this past weekend’s Ant-Man press day and later confirmed by returning writer-director James Gunn. But, really, that’s all the extra that we know.
Yes, the official title for the @Guardians sequel is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. Nice detective work, @colliderfrosty, etc! You got us!

Star Trek Beyond
Star Trek Beyond has been bandied about as a possible title for the next Star Trek movie, including by co-writer Simon Pegg, but no one was officially calling it that just yet. That changes today, though, with director Justin Lin tweeting not only the title, but the first look at a Starfleet uniform from the movie.
It’s also worth noting that Lin declared “Let the next Starfleet voyage begin!” which would seem to confirm that the new movie will definitely journey deep into space and not be quite as Earthbound as the last two movies.

Ghostbusters
Star Trek wasn’t the only franchise to get in on the costume game today. Ghostbusters director Paul Feig tweeted a picture hashtagged #whatyougonnawear, showing off the first look at the outfits Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Kiif, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones will wear in the movie. It’s not much, but if you want to obsessively compare them to the ’80s versions, now is your chance.

President Pitches Overtime Rule That Could Raise Wages For 5 Million

President Obama is expected to release this week a long-awaited rule governing overtime that could affect 5 million people as soon as next year, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to NPR.
The proposed rule would more than double the salary cap under which most workers would qualify for overtime pay whenever they work more than 40 hours a week, the source said. The cap would be raised from $23,660 to $50,440, and indexed to wage growth or inflation, ensuring the cap would move with the overall economy.
The rule is still subject to a lengthy comment period, and is bound to face opposition from the retail and restaurant industries. Unlike the president’s push to increase the minimum wage, though, the overtime rule does not require congressional approval.
Politico first reported the details, which were then formally unveiled in a Huffington Post blog post by President Obama tonight. The president will speak about the rule in LaCrosse, Wis., on Thursday.
