Taylor Swift is coming to the defense of Lady Gaga after false rumors began spreading over the weekend that she was pregnant.
Gaga was photographed by paparazzi at her sister’s wedding in a small town in Maine, where people began speculating she was expecting.
On Monday, the “Bad Romance” singer took to TikTok to shut down the rumors. She posted a 10-second video with the “I am the aesthetic” audio, which says, “I don’t have to find an aesthetic; I am the aesthetic. I mean, I’m sure there’s somebody out here right now who is going into Pinterest trying to type up all these adjectives to describe me.”
Over the clip, Gaga wrote, “not pregnant – just down bad cryin at the gym,” referencing Swift’s song “Down Bad” from The Tortured Poets Department.

The “Bejeweled” singer replied to a video Gaga shared on TikTok
“Can we all agree that it’s invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body,” Swift wrote. “Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.”

“Not pregnant,” read the caption overlayed on the TikTok video Gaga shared. “Just down bad cryin’ at the gym.”
Gaga also mouthed an audio that said, “I don’t have to find the aesthetic, I am the aesthetic. I mean, I’m sure there’s somebody out here right now going into Pinterest just typing in all these adjectives to describe me.”

There have effectively been innumerable versions of Batman, both in the comics and in live-action and TV series depictions. While the character in itself has been utterly dark in quite a few of them, arguably none came closer to Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder’s version of the caped crusader, seen in the likes of Batman vs Superman, Justice League, and 2017’s Suicide Squad.

Of course, while Affleck’s violent and murder-loving iteration of Batman falls in line with the comics, it is also comprehensively different from the kind of Batman depictions that live-actions have traditionally seen. That appears to be down to Zack Snyder’s vision, as he explained in an interview how he sees the character of Bruce Wayne, and how his childhood trauma affects him as an adult.
Zack Snyder believes Bruce Wayne/Batman f**ks to forget!

2024’s Venice Film Festival isn’t far away. Last year’s event was one that was slightly cut down due to the ongoing strikes that had befallen Hollywood and prevented a number of actors from attending for the promotion of their films. The films that screened last year included David Fincher’s The Killer, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, Ava DuVernay’s Origin, Michael Mann’s Ferrari and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro. The line-up for films out of competition featured such big names as Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, William Friedkin, Richard Linklater and Roman Polanski.
The 81st Annual Venice Film Festival is set for August 28 to September 7. Variety is reporting that among the films that are being rumored for screenings is the Todd Phillips follow-up to the Joaquin Phoenix reimagining of DC’s Clown Prince of Crime.

Joker was a $1 billion hit in 2019, proving the Clown Prince of Crime can work without a Batman to do battle with. Of course, while the movie took some significant liberties with the source material, Bruce Wayne - who may or may not be Arthur Fleck's half-brother - still played a role.
Despite Joker having all the makings of a standalone movie (it ended by revealing Fleck's role in inspiring the mugger who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne), Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theaters later this year.
Described as a "jukebox musical," we're expecting the action to move into Arkham Asylum, with the spotlight put on Arthur and Harley Quinn.
Or should that be Lee?

Though we’re still months away from seeing Todd Philips’ highly anticipated sequel Joker: Folie À Deux, more and more details about the upcoming potential hit have been trickling in, teasing fans about how Joker’s storyline will unfold this time.
Philips’ Joker started his lone adventure through the madness of Gotham City back in 2019, but now he will get a pretty much expected company after finding his true soulmate in Arkham Asylum therapist Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn.
In this case, DC fans might be quite reassured about what to expect from Lady Gaga’s portrayal of Joker’s evil girlfriend, though the actress doesn’t seem to share the same thought.

Sixteen years have passed since Spawn creator Todd McFarlane announced he was going to make sure a new Spawn movie was going to be made, even if he had to produce, direct, and finance it himself. Blumhouse Productions has been helping McFarlane develop the project since 2017, and even though he had written a script himself, they’ve also hired multiple screenwriters to do further work on the script. We heard a couple of years ago that Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Captain America: New World Order), and Matthew Mixom (Yesterday Was Everything) were all typing away on the script – and during a new interview with ComicBook.com, McFarlane focused on the contributions being made by Silver, saying the writer is aiming to give the new film meaning and purpose.
McFarlane told ComicBook.com, “There’s a script but the writers are, they’re not quite sort of satisfied with their own work,...

It looks as though director Todd Phillips has officially finished Joker: Folie a Deux, with the MPAA officially granting it an R-rating for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.” On the latter, it looks like Joker is about to show us the full monty, doesn’t it? At any rate, the R-rating isn’t a surprise, as that’s what the first film got, and I imagine a PG-13 sequel would have landed with a thud, as fans expect this to be as hardcore and uncompromising as the original.
Here’s the poster:

The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux debuted during CinemaCon last month, giving us an intriguing glimpse of some footage from Todd Phillips' DC "Elseworlds" sequel.
In what would seem to be a major change to the usual character dynamic, the teaser revealed that Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) meets Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga) as a fellow patient(?) in Arkham Asylum, and it looks like she'll be the one asserting influence over him.
While speaking to Access Hollywood, Gaga teased her new interpretation of the popular Batman villain, who has generally been portrayed as more of an anti-hero in recent years.
“You know, my version of Harley is mine and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters,” said the Oscar and Grammy Award winner. “I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.

“Joker” (2019) was originally intended to be a standalone film without sequels. However, Warner Bros. envisioned it as the beginning of DC Black, a series of darker, more experimental films separate from the DC Extended Universe. Despite the original plan, director Todd Phillips expressed interest in a sequel.
By November 2019, development on the sequel was confirmed, and in 2023, James Gunn stated that “Joker: Folie à Deux” would not be part of the mainline Dcu. Instead, it will be released under the “Elseworlds” label, in line with Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” franchise.
Shortly after the sequel was announced, it was revealed that Lady Gaga would portray Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Todd Phillips explained that he cast Lady Gaga because he had witnessed her mesmerizing performance in “A Star is Born,” where he served as a producer.

Believe it or not, it was way back in 2017 when we first learned of Todd McFarlane's plans to team with Blumhouse for a new R-Rated Spawn movie.
Spider-Man: No Way Home star Jamie Foxx boarded the movie in 2018, with Hawkeye's Jeremy Renner tapped to play Twitch Williams later that same year.
Since then, we've had what's felt like an endless series of updates from McFarlane. He's talked about redesigning the hero, possibly selling the reboot to a streaming service, issues with the screenplay, and even enlisted new writers in Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Captain America: New World Order) and up-and-coming scribe Matthew Mixon.
Despite all of that, the movie is seemingly no closer to becoming a reality.
"There's a script but the writers are, they're not quite sort of satisfied with their own work, which is what all of us creative people are," McFarlane, who once planned...

Tickets for Deadpool & Wolverine went on sale yesterday and there's clearly a lot of excitement for the movie. According to Fandango, the Marvel Studios movie has broken the 2024 record for best first-day ticket sales.
It's also outpacing Deadpool and Deadpool 2, suggesting the movie will be a box office hit when it opens this July.
After a string of titles have underperformed in recent weeks, exhibitors are desperate for a superhero blockbuster like Deadpool & Wolverine. Unfortunately, last year's strikes mean that's all they (and us) are getting in 2024. Joker: Folie à Deux will likely be a hit, though it's a very different beast and we're not expecting much from Kraven the Hunter.
With this news comes a new still from the movie showcasing Ryan Reynolds' Merc with the Mouth alongside Hugh Jackman's Logan. The latter still isn't wearing his mask, but is sleeveless in this shot.

Todd Phillips may be blessed with a keen eye when it comes to cinema but his comments on Christopher Nolan’s universally recognized classic, the Dark Knight trilogy, is a scarily contentious opinion. But as sacred as Christian Bale’s DC outing may have been, there exists a limitation to the height of the pedestal that one is allowed to be raised to.
Batman Begins (2005) [Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures]With the passage of time, it may have become easier to cope with the withdrawal of Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece. However, it is with loyalty, dedication, and love that the audience time and again returns to the Dark Knight trilogy. This shows not only an instinctive pull towards the series but also an admiration unmarred by time or repeated watching.

It’s not every day that one can claim to live through the golden era of DC.

After making hand over white-gloved fist with $1.36B worldwide, Nintendo and Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. movie is returning for a sequel in 2026, and dream casting for the film’s villain is already running rampant online. Jack Black stars in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as Bowser. However, the finale of the money-printing 2023 animated film finds the King of the Koopas in a Kandor situation. It’s almost a guarantee Bowser will pop up in the sequel, but what if another villain takes center stage? What about the gaseous anti-hero Wario? Danny DeVito says he’s ready to walk a mile with his Troll Foot in Wario’s green boots for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel, and fans are losing their minds at the idea.
Speaking with The Movie Dweeb, DeVito said he’d “take them [Nintendo] to the cleaners,” but he “should play Wario.” While the dream of...

Following the global success of Oppenheimer and Dune: Part Two, Imax is looking forward to its biggest ever “filmed for Imax” slate in 2025, including at least 14 titles currently shooting with Imax film or Imax-certified digital cameras, which are due for release next year.
The company said today that the 2025 slate more than doubles any previous year in its history, as Hollywood and overseas filmmakers and studios increasingly create for its platform. (Scroll down for the full 2025 roster.)
The increase in Imax-focused production follows a run of historic box office success for films shot with its proprietary cameras despite its nearly 1,700 commercial locations accounting for less than 1% of total screens worldwide.
Recent highlights include over 20% of the global box office ($190M+) on Universal’s Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan shot the Oscar winner entirely with Imax film cameras. It’s the fifth highest grossing Imax movie of all time.

Agatha made her debut in the Disney+ series ‘WandaVision’ as the curious neighbor turned formidable witch attempting to steal Wanda’s powers. By the series’ conclusion, Agatha is vanquished and trapped in her mundane neighbor guise, stripped of her powers, a transition likely to be depicted in the show’s premiere episode. The characters’ bond is rooted in the comics, where Agatha ranks among the most potent sorcerers in the Marvel Comics Universe.
Adding to a string of revelations, we now have another update. While fans had already speculated that the show would be a musical based on hints and theories, it has finally been officially confirmed.
Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, and Kathryn Hahn, speaking to Deadline, offered a glimpse into the upcoming show, teasing its comedic brilliance and giving fans a taste of what’s to come.

Agatha debuted in the Disney+ series ‘WandaWision,’ as the nosy neighbour-turned-powerful witch who tried to steal Wanda’s powers. By the end of the show, Agatha is defeated and trapped in her noisy neighbor persona, left powerless, which will obviously translate to the first episode of the show. The two characters share a connection from the comics, with Agatha being one of the most powerful magic users in the Marvel Comics Universe.
Now following a series of revelations, we’ve gotten one more update. Although fans already suspected that the show will be a musical based on what we’ve seen (and speculated) so far, it’s finally been confirmed.
Speaking for Deadline, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone and Kathryn Hahn teased a hilarious show and prepared fans for what to expect:

Originally conceived as a standalone film without sequels, ‘Joker’ (2019) was intended to inaugurate DC Black, a series of darker and more experimental films distinct from the DC Extended Universe. Despite this, director Todd Phillips expressed interest in a sequel.
By November 2019, the sequel was officially confirmed to be in development. In 2023, Gunn confirmed that ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ would not be part of the mainline Dcu; instead, it would be released under the ‘Elseworlds’ label, aligning with Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ franchise.

Two years have passed since the release of ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ yet it’s only recently come to light that it stands among the most expensive films ever made, both within the MCU and in the broader cinematic landscape. According to Forbes, Disney has revealed that the budget for the 2022 superhero flick reached an astonishing $414.9 million, surpassing even the hefty budget of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron.’
However, ‘Age of Ultron’ outperformed ‘Multiverse of Madness’ in box office profits, despite its lower production cost. Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the sorcerer in the sequel to 2016’s ‘Doctor Strange,’ alongside Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch. Nevertheless, despite its monumental production expenses, the film still yielded significant earnings.
‘Avengers: Endgame’ reigns supreme with earnings of $2,799,439,100, followed by ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ with $2,052,415,039. Released in 2022, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ earned $955,775,804, while its predecessor ‘Doctor Strange’ (2016) garnered $677,796,833. Forbes estimates that...

Twenty years ago, Troy and its cast made its mark on epic filmmaking. Director Wolfgang Petersen’s take on Homer’s Iliad featured an ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt and created a wildly entertaining, if not entirely accurate, movie.
Working from a script by future Games of Thrones showrunner David Benioff, the Troy cast brought to life legends like Achilles, Helen of Troy, and Hector. Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, and Diane Kruger were among those who joined Pitt in the impressive cast. While many of the actors haven’t made another film on Troy‘s scale, they continue to perform in blockbuster movies 20 years later.

After a disastrous 2023 for the DC brand, Warner Bros. hopes to deliver at least one hit comic book movie this year with Joker: Folie à Deux.
2019's Joker grossed over $1 billion on a modest $55 million budget. However, with reports swirling that the sequel cost upwards of $200 million, the studio will surely be hoping it hasn't allowed filmmaker Todd Phillips to indulge too much with this follow-up. After all, musicals are a tough sell at the best of times and comic book adaptations have struggled greatly post-covid.
We'll see what happens, but when the first teaser trailer dropped last month, one of the biggest surprises was an appearance from British actor and filmmaker Steve Coogan.
Best known in the UK for portraying comedy icon Alan Partridge, his film and television credits include Hot Fuzz, Tropic Thunder, Minions, the Night at the Museum franchise, Happyish, and The Reckoning.

The Chromatica Ball, Lady Gaga‘s most recent stadium tour, fought against numerous obstacles before it was able to fully bloom in 2022. The run was postponed twice — first when the world shut down during the pandemic in 2020, then again when only certain stops on the international run were prepared for the return of live music in 2021. When the Ball finally commenced, Gaga leaned into her biggest and weirdest musical modes.

It might feel like we just rang in the new year last week, but believe it or not, summer is already here -- at the movies, anyway.
With the release of the Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt action-romcom The Fall Guy, Hollywood's most lucrative season has officially arrived.
But the calendar is light on sure bets this year, and that's mostly because of recent box office trends that have left studio execs in a very uncertain position.
As you probably recall, Barbie and Oppenheimer were the summer box office success stories of 2023.
In retrospect, it seems like a foregone conclusion that two films that so dominated the zeitgeist would also win big commercially.
After all, prior to last year, you had to go all the way back to 2010 for a year in which the highest-grossing movie was neither a sequel nor a superhero flick.

The director of the first Doctor Strange movie is opening up about almost casting Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role.
The actor had been in early talks to bring the Marvel character to life, but months later it was revealed those talks were “dead.”
Of course, the role ended up going to Benedict Cumberbatch, who director Scott Derrickson was his first choice and he met with other actors after not thinking he would be able to get him.
Now, after Doctor Strange’s two solo movies and several appearances in the MCU, Scott is revealing why Joaquin never landed the role.

Doctor Strange Director Reflects On Why Joaquin Phoenix Did Not Get The Marvel Role( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Benedict Cumberbatch is an accomplished actor whose fame increased after starring as Doctor Strange in the MCU. Things would have been different if Joaquin Phoenix had donned the Cloak of Levitation. Director Scott Derrickson has recently opened up on why Phoenix did not land the Marvel role.

Exclusive: Here’s a nice one. Emmy nominee Adam Scott (Severance) is set to star in and direct his first feature, Double Booked, alongside Oscar nominee Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), and Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus).
Protagonist Pictures is launching international sales at the upcoming Cannes market with UTA Independent Film Group and CAA co-repping North America.
Double Booked follows a successful self-help writer (Scott) and his heavily pregnant wife (Beetz) who organize a weekend away at a secluded lodge, only to encounter another couple (Brown and Daddario) at their cabin when they arrive. With a blizzard moving in they are forced to spend the night together, and what seems like an innocent system error turns into a chilling battle of deceit with deadly consequences.
The project is written by David Levinson (Welcome Home), and produced by Adam Goodman (Juror # 2) and Matt Skiena (Juror #2) for Dichotomy Creative Group,...

Joker became a topic of discussion as soon as it hit theaters in 2019. And it's not just that Todd Phillips' movie has an ambiguous morality, completely different from typical comic book movies. The director made the audience doubt the reality of what was happening on the screen, allowing everyone to decide which events really happened and which only existed in the main character’s imagination.
The film was initially positioned as an independent work, in no way connected with comic books and especially with the DC cinematic universe. Joker refers more to the early films of Martin Scorsese, often citing Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy.
And even the makeup of the main character does not resemble the classic image of the Joker, but the famous killer clown Pogo, aka John Gacy. This reference is confirmed by the name of the Pogo club where Arthur performs.
