Ryan Coogler’s success with Creed and Black Panther has made the director the perfect fit to helm Universal’s upcoming adaption of A Vicious Circle, a graphic novel by Netflix’s Power Play scribe, Mattson Tomlin. Described as ‘John Wick meets Looper‘ by The Hollywood Reporter, the graphic novel is a true science fiction tour-de-force, with a unique setting drawn breathtakingly in multiple art styles by comic artist Lee Bermejo.

The premise of the graphic novel is about an epic duel between two assassins, each with the same strange affliction: every time they are responsible for someone’s death, they slip through time, ending up in the past or the present, be it 22nd Century Tokyo, or the Cretaceous Period. The adaptation will be a movie, with Boom! Studios execs and Coogler’s own Proximity Media set to produce.

THR reports that Universal Pictures has snagged the rights to A Vicious Circle, a graphic novel series published by Boom! Studios created by Mattson Tomlin and Lee Bermejo. Ryan Coogler is on board to produce A Vicious Circle via his Proximity Media banner, with Tomlin set to write the screenplay.
A Vicious Circle is a “two-hander action thriller about assassins from the future hunting each other through time” which is being described as John Wick meets Looper. Sounds like fun to me.
If you’d like more detail, the graphic novel synopsis has you covered: “Shawn Thacker is a trained assassin from the future who seeks revenge on the only other man with his affliction—each life they take forces them both to involuntarily travel between vastly different past and future eras.

Marvel is pressing and pressing hard to get Avengers 5 going. Marvel reportedly wants to get everything in order so they can start shooting the next Avengers movie in 2025. Deadline’s sources say more than 60 MCU characters, including Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Simu Liu, and Karen Gillian, could reprise their roles in the movie. It’s also said that the film will be much more of an ensemble rather than several characters leading the team. There’s also the matter of Kang the Conqueror. Although Jonathan Majors was fired by Marvel following his assault charges, it’s unclear if Kang will be recast or replaced by another villain. There’s also talk that he could be joined by another villain.
Benedict Cumberbatch may have unintentionally confirmed that Marvel Studios will be up and running on filming Avengers 5 for what’s been rumored to be the...

Actress Ella Purnell is currently riding high on the success of the Amazon Prime Video series Fallout.

While Tom Holland gears up for his next outing as Spider-Man in the MCU, an industry insider reported that Sony was looking for another Spider-Man for their universe. Though fans might be demanding a follow-up with Andrew Garfield’s version after his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Sony seems to be having different plans.
The studio is rumored to be looking for an actor to play Miles Morales in their upcoming live-action film. The makers had previously teased that the film was in active development and that they would be introducing the fan-favorite character in the Sony Spider-Man Universe. Development on the project seems to be finally beginning.

There have been rumors that Sony Pictures might be developing a live-action Miles Morales movie since the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse film swung into theatres in 2019, and last year, former studio head Amy Pascal appeared to confirm that tentative plans were in place.
“You’ll see all of it,” Pascal said when asked about the prospect of Miles making the jump to live-action during a red-carpet interview. “It’s all happening.”
Nothing particularly concrete, but rumors have persisted, and Sony was said to be interested in fast-tracking a Morales feature after the massive success of Into the Spider-Verse sequel, Across the Spider-Verse. Now, it seems we finally have some movement on the project.

One of the standout animated superhero franchises in recent memory is undoubtedly the ‘Spider-Verse’ series. The first film, ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,’ was a massive success, and its sequel, ‘Across the Spider-Verse,’ shattered numerous records.
Released as Sony Pictures Animation’s first global theatrical release since 2019’s ‘The Angry Birds Movie 2,’ the film garnered widespread acclaim and set multiple box office records. Surpassing its predecessor, it grossed an impressive $690.5 million worldwide and ranked as the third-highest-grossing film in the U.S. for 2023.
Both movies in the series have enjoyed immense popularity among fans of all kinds. Confirmation came over six months ago that work on ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’ resumed following the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Composer Daniel Pemberton has since revealed they are working intensively on the upcoming installment. However, he acknowledges the pressure to deliver amidst the high expectations set by the franchise’s previous success,...

One of the most notable animated superhero projects in recent years is definitely the ‘Spider-Verse’ franchise. The first movie ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ was a massive success, with the second movie’ Across the Spider-Verse’ breaking all kinds of records.

Fans Predict the Next League of Legends Animated Series Following Fortiche x Riot Announcement - Main Image
Arcane may be ending with its second season, but there is a silver lining for fans. That’s because the series’ co-creator revealed that more new League of Legends animated series will be made in partnership with Fortiche.
Speaking to Variety, Arcane co-creator Christian Linke said that there are still “many stories to tell” in the world of League of Legends and that Riot Games and Fortiche Productions will continue to tell them.
This is great news for fans as it means more characters and locales from the world of Runeterra will be explored. Currently, though, there’s no word on what specific stories will be adapted.

Netflix has finally released a full trailer for the second season of its acclaimed animated steampunk sci-fi series, Arcane.
Good news for fans of the show, but we do also have some bad: Arcane will not return for a third season.
This doesn't mean that we won't see more stories set in the League of Legends universe, however.
“Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey and partnership with the wonderful animation studio that is Fortiche,” said co-creator Christian Linke in a statement. “From the very beginning, since we started working on this project, we had a very specific ending in mind, which means the story of ‘Arcane’ wraps up with this second season.

While the conservative genre veterans claim the golden era of Western movies had gone with Clint Eastwood’s classic flicks of the 60s and 70s, we completely disagree with it.
There are several modern genre’s gems, starting from Javier Bardem’s No Country for Old Men and Russell Crowe’s 3:10 to Yuma (both 2007) to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Django Unchained (2012). They all present brand new, yet brutal Western characters.
These include Jeff Bridges’ protagonist in the 2010 movie that can be considered an exceptional movie in every aspect. It both pays homage to the genre’s classics and brings new vision to it.
The film’s plot follows a feisty teenage girl who is trying to find those who are guilty of murdering her father, that’s why she hires a Deputy U.S. Marshal (played by Bridges) to help her. The duo is later joined by a Texas Ranger...

For fans of Netflix's epic animated video game adaptation Arcane, we've got a real good news, bad news situation on our hands. The good news is, after teasing the Emmy award-winning League Of Legends spin-off's upcoming second season during last week's Next On Netflix: Animation event, today the streamer dropped a jaw-slackening first full trailer for the series, which is set to hit the platform this November. The not-so-good news is that Arcane Season 2 will also be the show's final series (boo!). But despair not, before it all ends there's still plenty of story left to tell as the Piltovans and Zaunites — and sisters Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell) — head for all-out war. Now here's that new trailer;
The heartstopping climax of Arcane's first season saw Jinx launch a Hextech gemstone powered rocket at Piltover's Council, bringing the tensions between the steampunk city of Piltover and the seedy,...

Today is both a good and awful day for animation fans. "Arcane," the single best animated show from Netflix and one of the greatest works of animation in the last decade, got a new trailer for its upcoming second season. But the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news is that the second season of "Arcane" will also be its last. "This November, witness the Final Chapter," states the latest trailer.
According to Variety, co-creator Christian Linke said this is only the first "of many stories that we want to tell in Runeterra," with the story of "Arcane" wrapping up in its second season because they "had a very specific ending in mind" since the start. Whether they always wanted two seasons, or if the show's incredibly prohibitive budget and recent lay-offs at parent company Riot Games made it hard to justify a third season, is unknown. In the meantime,...

Based on the popular League of Legends video game, Netflix’s Arcane has become a hit with both critics and fans, regardless of whether they’re actually fans of the game or not. The animated series’ first season was received with critical acclaim and became the first streaming series to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program and an Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated Television Broadcast Production. Despite the success, though, the first season came out way back in 2021, and while Netflix promised more content, we have only recently received confirmation that the second season would be released in November 2024 on Netflix, and the streaming platform has just released the first official teaser for the upcoming season!
In case you don’t know, the official synopsis of the series is as follows:
Arcane dives into the delicate balance between the rich city of Piltover and the seedy underbelly of Zaun.

Arcane will end with the upcoming second season. Netflix has released a teaser trailer and some of the first images for the second and final chapter of its animated series. Season 2 premieres in November on the streamer.

Did you know that one of the most hilarious scenes in Disney+’s Hawkeye was improvised? Marvel stars Florence Pugh and Hailee Steinfeld are not only talented but quick-witted actresses as well. Because of this one particular improvisation, it made the whole scene a lot better.

Of course, fans will never forget the king of improvisations within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One of Robert Downey Jr.’s unscripted lines even changed the entire direction of the franchise. Because of this, the second generation of heroes in the MCU keeps his legacy alive.

Marvel Cinematic Universe movies have caught a lot of flack in recent years for the sheer amount of silliness and gags muddling up the various film and TV plots. There's no doubt there are a lot of MCU jokes that haven't aged well, and as the franchise has continued, the quips seem to have become more and more frequent — something that will no doubt reach a fever pitch with the upcoming "Deadpool & Wolverine."
But there was a time when one-liners and wisecracks were used more sparingly and played a crucial role in the success of the MCU. This element of the franchise led directly to the hit that was "Thor: Ragnarok," in which Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige entrusted director Taika Waititi with reinventing Chris Hemsworth's Thor as a more comedic persona. This was due to the Aussie star's penchant for improv, which he'd demonstrated in both "Thor" and its sequel,...

Hailee Steinfeld showed some serious dedication as she announced she'd be wearing her bikini-infused look "all week" in July 2022. Posting to Instagram as she promoted her latest beats that summer, the 27-year-old actress and singer turned her swimwear into a stylish daywear look, going coordinated in a three-piece ensemble and checking boxes for injecting some bikini action into her outfit. Gaining over 1.5 million likes for her share, Hailee reminded fans of her style game as she plugged her "Coast" track featuring Anderson. Paak, although fans commenting seemed more interested in her stunning looks than her music.

Based on the popular League of Legends video game, Netflix’s Arcane has become a hit with both critics and fans, regardless of whether they’re actually fans of the game or not. The first season of the animated series was received with critical acclaim and went on to become the first streaming series to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program and won an Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated Television Broadcast Production. But the first season aired back in 2021, and while Netflix promised more content, it wasn’t until recently that we actually received some news about the second season. Now, a teaser video has been released, and the series has been confirmed to premiere in November 2024 on Netflix.

Netflix Animation held its first slate preview event June 6 at the Tudum in L.A., as a lead-up to the Annecy Animation Festival (June 9-15), where it will premiere Shannon Tindle’s “Ultraman: Rising” (streaming June 14) and tout some of its upcoming works in 2024 and 2025.
Hosted by Christopher Sean (the voice star of “Ultraman: Rising”), attendees were treated to exclusive presentations, previews, and special announcements. The biggest announcement was the full title of Aardman’s next stop-motion feature, “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl,” which will have an Oscar-qualifying run this winter before streaming in 2025.
Directed by franchise creator Nick Park and creative director Merlin Crossingham, who offered a pre-recorded introduction, “Vengeance Most Fowl” marks the return of the villainous penguin, Feathers McGraw, from the Oscar-winning short “The Wrong Trousers.” The film is a cautionary tale of high-tech gone wrong involving an out-of-control “smart gnome” with a mind of its own.

Director cum producer Michael Bay has proven his star-studded worth in the entertainment industry one too many times, especially through the masterpieces he helmed for the multi-billionaire Transformers franchise. That said, the 59-year-old artist seemingly had no intention for his robotic saga to get a crossover with Dwayne Johnson’s $712 million worth G.I. Joe franchise.

Although it may seem surprising, this was Bay’s original decision regarding his franchise when this idea was proposed to him by Brian Robbins, the current CEO of Paramount, and was rightly so for a very understandable reason. However, Robbins seems to have eventually come out victorious over him, considering how a crossover movie between these two sagas is currently in the works.

After his star-studded roles in other superhero and action franchises, including his long-term work as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the latest addition as Dr. Dementus in the Mad Max lore, Chris Hemsworth, seems to be all set to jump into his next big project. What’s more, his next role may reportedly be in a collision movie of two of the biggest action franchises of all time.

According to exclusive reports, Hemsworth is being eyed to star in a crossover movie of multi-billionaire G.I. Joe and Transformers franchises. But as much as this is a piece of fantastic news for all of his fans out there, Peter Cullen fans don’t seem to be all too happy about it. And, if anything, their anger just may be over nothing if these reports turn out to be true.

Jeremy Renner has consistently been the unsung hero in some of cinema’s most monumental franchises, be it Bourne or the Mission: Impossible series, he has always been the underrated part. While many may overlook his contributions, Renner’s portrayal of William Brandt in Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation was unforgettable.

Now that she is older, he finds himself in a place where he can comfortably jump back into the mix of the action-packed world of the franchise. The anticipation among fans for his return is through the roof, with many eagerly awaiting his comeback and the potential impact he’ll bring to the saga.

Glen Powell might be one of the next best things in Hollywood, especially after his performance in Top Gun: Maverick as Hangman. He then went on to bag the leading role in the romantic comedy, Anyone but You, opposite Sydney Sweeney. Apart from being a great actor, Glen Powell is an absolute film nerd and we sure love him for that!

This was proven during his interview with GQ magazine where the actor took a stroll at the Warner Bros.’ backlot and couldn’t help himself from pointing out the fragments of the film industry scattered there. During the interview, Glen Powell came across a ‘Batman’ section and decided to let the world know what he would do with the character if he ever got to play him.

You can always count on mother-daughter duo Heidi Klum and Leni Olumi Klum to bring glamour to any red-carpet event they attend. The 2024 amfAR Cannes Gala red carpet was no exception, as they dazzled in contrasting ruffled gowns that set them apart from a myriad of A-list stars.
Their presence instantly captured me when they stood for photos on the red carpet. Supermodel Heidi Klum nearly overshadowed her daughter in an ostentatious peach-colored gown. But Leni, a budding model in her own right, isn’t one to back down, commanding attention in a black see-through mesh gown.

While Marvel Studios quietly rethinks its approach to blockbuster entertainment by limiting the content released yearly in theaters and on Disney+, industry insider Daniel Richtman could have a promising update about the next Avengers movie. According to Richtman, who has a decent track record for leaking information about upcoming film projects throughout the industry, principal photography for Avengers 5 begins in the United Kingdom next January. Initially, reports said cameras could roll as early as December, but that appears to have changed.
Richtman says the story for Avengers 5 is “more grounded” than previous chapters of the multi-million dollar-printing franchise. However, Marvel plans to “go big or go home” regarding the Multiverse so that fans can expect plenty of portal-hopping shenanigans as the MCU gets remixed from one adventure to the next. Marvel has dabbled with the Multiverse already, but the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine could push the concept beyond limits...

With the San Diego Comic-Con and D23 fast approaching, it surely won't be too much longer until we get a long-overdue slate update from Marvel Studios.
Some changes are bound to have been made following a return to quality over quantity and there are still big gaps in the Multiverse Saga which need to be filled.
It's looking like Young Avengers will be one of those projects and, according to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, that will be led by Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop/Hawkeye and Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel. The Marvels' post-credits scene set the stage for them to take charge of the team, so we're not exactly shocked.
As for who will join them, your guess is as good as ours...there are plenty of potential candidates, though.
Next up is Spider-Man 4. Earlier today, we told you that Venom is expected to play a minor role in the movie.

While the franchise started losing its appeal as time passed, Disney still found massive success with its Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Johnny Depp deserves much of the credit for that, but Amber Heard's allegations of domestic violence and a series of messy court battles led to Disney scrapping plans for a sixth movie. Depp's Hollywood career was put on hold and the studio went back to the drawing board with the franchise.
It's unclear exactly who is developing the next iteration, though the expectation is that the spotlight will shift to another character in place of the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow.
Talking to Et Online, Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer made it clear that, he at least, is willing to bring Depp back into the fold.
"If it was up to me, of course. I love having Depp," he said. "He's a great actor and good friend.

‘The Marvels’ was undoubtedly last year’s biggest MCU flop, losing a staggering amount of money. This prompted significant changes across the board, with Bob Iger emphasizing the need for the studio to focus on quality and reduce their creative output.
However, the movie also initiated promising developments, such as the ‘Young Avengers’ project, hinted at by Kamala’s efforts to recruit younger superheroes.
The post-credits scene of ‘The Marvels’ features Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel recruiting Kate Bishop into her new initiative. Kamala also inquires about Cassie Lang, who, as seen in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ goes by the alias Stature. The rumored members of the Young Avengers also include Skaar (Hulk’s son), Wiccan, Speed, America Chavez, Kid Loki, Ironheart, Toussaint, Patriot, and Love from ‘Thor: Love and Thunder.’

‘The Marvels’ was definitely last year’s biggest MCU flop. The movie lost an eye-watering amount of money and kickstarted some great changes across the board, with Bob Iger himself commenting that the studio needs to focus on quality Asap reducing their creative output.
But the movie did also kickstart great things, for example, the ‘Young Avengers’ project which was teased by Kamala’s initiative as she tries to recruit younger superheroes.
The post-credits scene of ‘The Marvels’ sees Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel recruited Kate Bishop into her own new initiative; she also asked about Lang’s daughter, Cassie, who, as ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ goes under the alias Stature. The rumored members of the Young Avengers also include Skaar (Hulk’s son), Wiccan and Speed, America Chavez, Kid Loki, Ironheart, Toussaint, Patriot, and Love from ‘Love & Thunder.’

Charles Portis' novel "True Grit" has been brought to life on the big screen several times, but Henry Hathaway's 1969 John Wayne-starring adaptation is perhaps the most popular. Wayne's rendition of Rooster Cogburn is one of his most-recognized late-period roles, and it also earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor — an accolade that feels thoroughly deserving due to the actor's ability to seamlessly inhabit the plucky, one-eyed U.S. Marshal. Portis' "True Grit" is told from the perspective of the adolescent Mattie Ross, whose deadpan, no-nonsense demeanor is our portal to the treacherous grown-ups around her, and her bond with the tough-as-nails marshal soon emerges as the heart of the drama. Wayne expertly balances Rooster's more vicious sensibilities with the hidden vulnerabilities that emerge when he helps Mattie exact revenge and looks endlessly cool while charging toward armed dudes with dual guns on horseback.

Disparage the Marvel Cinematic Universe all you want, but there's no denying that when it comes to casting, Kevin Feige and the McU's longtime casting director, Sarah Halley Finn, have the magic touch. It's all but impossible now to picture anyone other than Robert Downey Jr. lending his snarky wit to the self-declared "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist" Tony Stark, or to imagine a different actor bringing the same spot-on mix of wholesomeness and New Yorker defiance like Chris Evans did as Steve Rogers. And let's not forget Thor and Loki, two Marvel Comics veterans who could've easily been dismissed as dorky C-listers, only to become the franchise's most long-lasting players thanks to Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.
For all of its missteps, that hasn't changed in the MCU post-"Avengers: Endgame." Esteemed character actors Oscar Isaac, Hailee Steinfeld, and Florence Pugh all brought the full brunt of their talents to...

Marvel Studios has been tasked by Disney CEO Bob Iger with getting back to quality over quantity. That's why, moving forward, we're getting three movies per year and only two Disney+ TV shows.
We'd bet on Kevin Feige appearing at both the San Diego Comic-Con and D23 to share an updated Multiverse Saga slate, but some updates come our way today courtesy of scooper Daniel Richtman.
We'll start with Spider-Man 4. That's supposedly set to begin shooting this fall, with the plan being for the movie to arrive in theaters as soon as fall 2025. It's a quick turnaround, but very much in line with the wall-crawler's previous solo outings.
Here's where things get really interesting: Richtman adds that the piece of Venom left on Earth-616 at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home will play a role in the movie. Given what a dark place Peter Parker is likely to...

Grab your quiver of trick arrows and prep a boxed Macaroni and Cheese pot because Kate Bishop and Clint Barton could return for Hawkeye Season 2. A target with a rumor at its bullseye is making the rounds today, with whispers of Marvel developing a follow-up to 2021’s Hawkeye series on Disney+. The rumor comes from industry scooper @MyTimeToShineH, who says Marvel plans to put Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton at the center of an outrageous plot with The Raid-like elements.
Okay. The last time someone told me something would feel like The Raid, we got 2021’s Mortal Kombat, which was fun, but saying it’s like The Raid is crazy talk. So, pardon me if I’m skeptical. Anyway, @MyTimeToShineH says Hawkeye has been renewed for a second season, with Clint’s brother, Barney, playing a significant role. “The season will be inspired by The Raid,...

Eli Roth’s Borderlands will finally hit theaters this August, almost nine years after its announcement. The film, based on the critically acclaimed video game franchise of the same name, underwent several script changes and production delays. The Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart starrer’s trailer was a mixed bag.
Moreover, fans of the game franchise are skeptical of the big screen medium as it may not have the time to establish different storylines starting from the 2009 game.

A popular suggestion among the video game fanbase was to make Borderlands into an animated series. This animated version would be a much better way to bring the world-building, numerous characters, and their complex interconnected storylines onto the screen.

Hawkeye feels like Marvel Studios' most underrated TV show in many ways. While not every subplot hit the mark (Swordsman's peculiar role in the finale felt like a last-minute change), Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh stole the show as Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova, and Vincent D'Onofrio made his surprise MCU return as The Kingpin.
Oh, and we were blessed with Rogers: The Musical, of course!
There's been no word on a second season, though Jeremy Renner's life-threatening snow plow accident and last year's WGA/SAG AFTRA strikes will have done little to help matters.
Steinfeld made a surprise appearance in The Marvels where she was recruited by Ms. Marvel to what many believe will be the McU's take on the Young Avengers. However, if scooper @MyTimeToShineH is to be believed, the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star will suit up as Kate again in Hawkeye season 2.

Jeremy Renner’s debut as Hawkeye in the MCU timeline began when he first appeared as Clint Barton in a brief role in 2011’s Thor. Thereafter, becoming a member of the Avengers, Hawkeye appeared in a bunch of Marvel movies. Remaining one of the three original Avengers in the MCU after Endgame, besides Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Renner went on to lead his own MCU project as Clint Barton.
Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton in Hawkeye
While the other original Avengers got solo movies, Jeremy Renner starred in Disney’s Hawkeye. Released in 2021, the show earned a raging 7.5 IMDb rating with just one season. Now, following the commercial success of the show, it has been rumored that Hawkeye will return with a second season, where Clint Barton’s brother, Barney, will make his on-screen debut and have a major role. But who exactly is Barney Barton?...

Alice Munro, the Nobel and prize-winning Canadian author of short story collections and novels including “Lives of Girls and Women” and “The Love of a Good Woman,” died Monday night at her home in Ontario, the New York Times reported. She was 92
Munro won the Nobel Prize in literature in 2013 for her short stories, the Man Booker International prize in 2009 and the O’Henry award in 2012. Born Alice Laidlaw in Ontario, Canada, she often wrote about women living in small towns in the province.
The Booker jury wrote in its prize statement, “Alice Munro is mostly known as a short story writer and yet she brings as much depth, wisdom and precision to every story as most novelists bring to a lifetime of novels. To read Alice Munro is to learn something every time that you never thought of before.”

Looking back, can we imagine a bright-eyed Rebel Wilson stepping onto the set of Paul Feig’s 2011 comedy flick Bridesmaids, ready to dive into the challenging waters of Hollywood? Who could have predicted the bittersweet symphony that would follow her joy at receiving her first American paycheck?
Recently, this cheery Australian actress, known for her exceptional wit and comedic timing, humbly shared her success story and the financial struggle during the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. Despite being cast in a hit 2011 comedy that catapulted her into the spotlight, Wilson revealed that the joy was tempered by the harsh reality of a $3,500 salary being swallowed up almost entirely by SAG-AFTRA “union” dues.

When fans heard the news that Fantastic Four would be recreated once again to wash away the sour taste the 2015 movie left, fans were truly excited and hoping their heartiest wishes for those superheroes would finally be fulfilled. But when they heard that Pedro Pascal had been cast into the role of Reed Richards in the saga, a lot of them were unsure about this decision of the Studios.

While that was initially understandable for those who couldn’t envision the Hollywood heartthrob in the role, Pascal’s old images resurfacing are here to wash away all those doubts. In fact, one specific vintage picture of him from a few years ago is so similar to the character in the comics that it has Marvel fans convinced Pascal was born to play Mister Fantastic!

Madame Web should have been a game-changer for Sony Pictures. While Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage were box office hits, neither received overly glowing reviews and the awful Morbius left any possible goodwill fans had for the studio bleeding out on the floor.
With Madame Web billed as a standalone adventure and a movie that finally put the spotlight on some of the heroes from Spider-Man's world, it looked like the stage was being set for a new female-led superhero franchise. Three Spider-Women swinging into the action under the watchful eye of Cassandra Webb seemed like a genius move, but when it hit theaters...well, you know the rest.

It was on New Year's Day in 2023 that Hawkeye's Jeremy Renner was crushed by a snowplow while attempting to save his nephew. However, just over a year after he sustained life-threatening injuries, the actor returned to work in February to shoot Mayor of Kingstown season 3.
To recap, Renner jumped onto the rolling snowplow when he noticed it sliding towards his nephew and was pulled underneath and crushed. Sustaining more than 30 broken bones, he underwent emergency surgery to save his life and spent the vast majority of 2023 recovering.
Talking to The Direct, Renner's Mayor of Kingstown co-star Michael Beach (Dead Boy Detectives) claimed the MCU vet "actually died" following the incident.
"Jeremy [Renner] is a war horse, man. I mean that guy, you know, he broke 38 bones. He actually died, which I didn't know until he told me, and he's been coming back," the actor said. "And he says he wasn't sure how it would be.
