Have you ever witnessed a cinematic moment so moving that it lingered long after the credits rolled? The death of Natasha Romanoff in Avengers: Endgame was just one of the moments that devastated Marvel fans, and Scarlett Johansson found it almost as hard to come to terms when she learned about her character’s fate.
Kevin Feige produced the 2019 superhero flick, which is a direct sequel to Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Mark Ruffalo.

Indeed, Johansson handled Feige’s cruel Avengers: Endgame decision with the poise of a true champion, a decision that continues to shock Marvel fans to this day. But behind the scenes, the Black Widow actress, 39, was not immune to the weight of this narrative shift, admitting to crying in her shower alone—a raw, human reaction to a character she had lived and breathed for almost a decade.

"No amount of money ever bought a second of time." Those are the words uttered by Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in "Avengers: Endgame" during a pivotal scene after he traveled back in time to save the world, only to run into his own father. It's true, money can't buy time. But in 2019, audiences shelled out money in record-breaking amounts to spend lots of time in movie theaters all around the world to see the conclusion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe up to that point. Money, in this case, bought something like 10,800 seconds of shared experience the likes of which hasn't been seen before or since.

Anthony and Joe Russo seem to think that the chapter on Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man is closed after his heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. When they learned that Downey Jr. hinted at his potential return to the MCU role, they were confused by the idea. The Gray Man directors revealed that they have no clue about how the cinematic universe would bring back the character.

After creating the heartbreaking yet truly magnificent exit of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Avengers: Endgame, the Russo Brothers — Joe Russo and Anthony Russo — are all set to bring new action to the screens. And this time, this peak entertainment would not be through Rdj or the MCU, but rather, ostensibly through Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling.

As it turns out, the dynamic duo recently hinted at wanting to work with Evans and Gosling once again. The project they would be collaborating on is the sequel to the masterpiece from 2022, The Gray Man. But that’s not all because Evans isn’t the only Chris the mastermind filmmakers are looking forward to working with: They also want Chris Hemsworth to reprise his iconic role!

Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. has expressed interest in reprising his role as Iron Man.
However, there is one problem, the character died at the end of ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
Speaking with GamesRadar at the Sands: International Film Festival, the film’s directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, seemed baffled at the notion of a Downey return.
“I don’t know how they would do it. I don’t know what the road to that would be,” Anthony Russo told GamesRadar, reports deadline.com.
“I mean, we closed that book, so it would be up to them to figure out how to reopen it,” Joe Russo added.
Marvel head Kevin Feige refuted the claim that it was mulling over bringing Iron Man back.

Five years after it was first released, the legendary MCU film Avengers: Endgame still holds a special place in the hearts of fans. The cinematic event was preceded by the equally compelling Avengers: Infinity War, which saw many of the MCU’s beloved heroes be a victim of Thanos’ fatal Snap.
One of the highlights of the fourth Avengers film was the famous ‘Portal’ scene, which saw all of the heroes return back after the Og Avengers reverse the snap. The goosebumps-inducing scene is still remembered to this day by fans. However, the initial plan of the team behind the film reportedly did not include the legendary scene at all.

It has been 5 years since the world saw the death of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man in the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame. With countless heroes and one big bad baddie, Endgame was the MCU’s most ambitious project yet.
With future Avengers movies at stake, it seems that the MCU is not yet ready to let of of its old heroes. Having some veteran actors in their collection, Marvel Studios has allegedly told two Avengers stars to clear their schedule for Avengers 5!

Akira Toriyama has created Super Saiyan versions in every color of the rainbow and more. So, of course, there are transformations serving all kinds of purposes, be it speed, strength, or fusion in Dragon Ball.
With so many Super Saiyan versions available, it is only natural that some of them would follow trends set by other superheroes. This time, the comparison is between Super Saiyan Rage and Marvel’s Hulk.
Similarities Between Super Saiyan Rage in Dragon Ball and Hulk Hulk | Marvel Wiki
Super Saiyan Rage, like its name, was achieved when Future Trunks felt unbelievable anger during the Future Trunks Saga in Dragon Ball. Marvel’s Hulk is also famous for being triggered by rage. While Bruce Banner learned to control the transformation over the years, the main ingredient to Hulk is still anger. Thus, the famous quote:
“I’m always angry.”

If The Marvel Cinematic Universe wobbled in 2023 because of the poorly received ‘Ant-Man 3’ “The Marvels,” and “Secret Invasion” series, many might argue part of that is the loss of its big stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johannsson in the post “Avengers: Endgame” universe.
All three of their characters, Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow, respectively, either died or were essentially taken off the battlefield (Captain America came back from his time travel exploits as an old man).

Robert Downey Jr. elated Marvel fans earlier this month when he told Esquire magazine that he would “happily” return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Tony Stark/Iron Man following his Oscar win for best supporting actor in March. There’s only one hiccup: Iron Man died in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” But the MCU’s ever-expanding multiverse certainly leaves the door open for Downey’s return
In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, “Avengers: Endgame” directors Joe and Anthony Russo expressed some confusion over Downey’s Iron Man popping back up in the MCU after they killed the character off so heroically in their record-breaking film.

We now have a shoot date for the long-awaited ‘end to this chapter’ of the beloved Birmingham-based crime saga, Peaky Blinders. September!
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has confirmed that the Peaky Blinders film will go into production in September. We’ve known since the beginning of this year that a 2024 shoot was the aim but given that Knight and the project’s star, Cillian Murphy are both rather busy people, nobody was exactly sure where they’d fit the project in.
We now have an answer to that question. Speaking with The NME, Knight has confirmed that “it’s gonna happen this September” and added that he’s doing final tweaks on the script. He also added: “We’re there. We’ve got everything sorted, we’ve got all the commitments we need, we are ready to go” which certainly sounds like a final confirmation to us.

It is quite a common occurrence that if a comedian is extremely funny, they have probably dabbled in writing, creating, and directing at some point. While a lot of them see great success through this, there are the rare few who fail miserably and never look that way again. Unfortunately for Ben Stiller, his case was the latter.
Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum

It is impossible for us to stop talking about Al Pacino, the method actor, who has delivered a number of masterpieces, including Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather. The Oscar-winning actor, 83, has had an illustrious career spanning five decades and counting, earning him millions of dollars and making him one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars.
Well, any actor would eventually encounter some level of controversy in the course of their career, and Pacino is by no means an exception. Even though the acclaimed actor has starred in some challenging roles in the past, nothing compares to the 1980 flick Cruising, since the entire movie was controversial.

Many A-list celebrities have fallen in love with one another after assuming the role of a couple on screen. Sadly, the majority of those love tales end badly as the couple separates for ideological reasons. One such pairing was Diane Keaton and Al Pacino, who fell in love with each other during the filming of the classic 1972 flick, The Godfather, helmed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Keaton was still relatively new to the industry when Paramount Pictures cast her as Kay Adams in one of the biggest movies ever made. It was there that she also got to know Pacino, her former partner. After being paired opposite in the film series, the on-screen couple soon started dating off-screen.

Actor Ryan Gosling has an eclectic set of movies in his filmography, which has made him a versatile actor. Though the actor had his breakthrough with the romance flick The Notebook, he has branched out to action, comedy, sci-fi, and drama. Gosling was recently nominated for an Oscar for his performance as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.
One of Gosling’s most underrated performances is the Shane Black-directed black comedy The Nice Guys. The neo-noir comedy sees him play a detective in the ‘70s along with Russell Crowe. Though the film is a cult classic now, it was a commercial failure. Gosling mentioned that the success of the animated movie The Angry Birds Movie ruined The Nice Guys’ chance for a sequel.

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe starred in The Nice Guys in 2016, but the movie didn’t get a sequel despite its positive reviews.
In a recent interview, the Barbie actor says he thinks the reason the action comedy film directed by Shane Black didn’t get a sequel was the opening box office numbers.
“So much of a sequel, I think, is decided by the opening weekend of a movie, and we opened up against Angry Birds,” Gosling told Comic Book in an interview. “So Angry Birds just, just destroyed us. Angry Birds got a sequel.”
The Angry Birds Movie had an opening weekend of $38M, easily topping The Nice Guys, which generated only $11.2M at the box office. On the same weekend, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising opened to a $21.7M weekend. The films also had to fend off Marvel fans, with Captain America: Civil War earning $32.9M in its third weekend.

Watch most comedians long enough and you’ll start to hear the same stories. But watch Stephen Colbert long enough and you’ll always find he has a new reason for audiences to fall in love with his wife, Evie.
On Sunday, April 21 at The Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, “The Late Show” host and Ben Schwartz closed out PaleyFest LA 2024 with a wide-ranging and goofy Q&a that included Colbert retelling some of his career-best stories while gently negging his interviewer’s questioning style.
“I will tell you a question I have been asked before,” Colbert quipped, turning Schwartz’ first prompt back on the actor in a good nature. “It’s ‘What’s a question you haven’t been asked before?'”
“And Ok, we’re going to the next question, you guys!,” Schwartz said with a laugh.

David Harewood is a distinguished British actor with a career spanning stage and screen. From portraying the Martian Manhunter in “Supergirl” to the steely David Estes in “Homeland,” Harewood has consistently delivered powerful performances. But beyond his acting chops, Harewood has recently made the news with his stance on a highly sensitive topic: blackface.

Blackface, the act of darkening one’s skin to impersonate a black person, has a long and offensive history rooted in racist caricature. Harewood’s latest statement seems to have found no problem with blackface because “the name of the game is acting”.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ trailer dropped yesterday, and it was nearly impossible to catch all the references and easter eggs in one viewing. The trailer revealed plenty of cameos to add to our list, and plenty of notable “locations.” Such as presumably Strange’s portal, and Cassandra Nova using Ant-Man’s giant head as her headquarters.
But except for funny (and awesome) easter eggs, we noticed something that filled us with hope, a brief nod that Iron Man might make an appearance in this movie, which is judging by everything so far, truly an MCU savior.
At one point in the movie Red Skull’s Car from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ can be seen, but sporting one significant change it has an Iron Man hood ornament, which prompted fans to conclude that Iron Man might be making a return.

The ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ trailer was released yesterday, and it was packed with references and Easter eggs that were easy to miss in one viewing. The trailer showed numerous cameos and interesting locations, like what seems to be Strange’s portal and Cassandra Nova’s headquarters inside Ant-Man’s giant head.
Among the funny and awesome Easter eggs, we spotted something that gave us hope: a brief hint that Iron Man might appear in the movie. Considering everything we’ve seen so far, this would truly be a significant moment for the MCU.
In one scene of the movie, Red Skull’s car from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ is visible, but with a notable alteration: it now features an Iron Man hood ornament. This detail led fans to speculate that Iron Man could be coming back.

Tom Cruise and Robert Pattinson are two of the most iconic actors in Hollywood, with one climbing the ladder like there’s no tomorrow and the other ruling over it. While the two of them have never shared the big screen together, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they haven’t met either. Out of the many movies that both of them have individually done, it was a small skit that brought them together.

Hugh Jackman broke all our hearts when he revealed that Logan (2017) was going to be his Wolverine’s swan song. But we can’t really blame him, can we? The man had been playing the character since 2000! Perhaps his desire to leave Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men behind stemmed from his time on X-Men: Days of Future Past.

With every role, Jason Bateman established and built on his legacy over the last four decades. Be it as a child star in the ubiquitous great American classic, Little House on the Prairie, or his status as a teenage heartthrob in Teen Wolf, or his dramatic achievement in the Emmy-winning Netflix series, Ozark, Bateman’s range, style, and talent has never failed to deliver on screen.

Deemed one of the greatest actors in Hollywood, Denzel Washington exudes a classic movie star aura. Renowned for his enduring charm and the seamless blend of irony and sincerity in his iconic roles, Washington embodies the timeless essence of a Hollywood legend. He is also known for avoiding the franchise films, with the notable exception of The Equalizer trilogy.

He has also been commended for the same by being named the second-highest-grossing actor to not star in a franchise, following the Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio. However, Washington did not seem to mind the ranking, as he responded with a touch of wit.

In a conversation with ScreenRant, Denzel Washington expressed his disinterest in sequels and potential franchise films, as he highlighted his approach of focusing on each film individually rather than considering potential sequels.

Deadpool & Wolverine once again has the internet in a choke hold with its latest trailer that screams even more peak entertainment than the first two. Not only did this promotion give a heavy insight into the relationship that Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Logan will be sharing in the movie, but it also dropped some Easter eggs that have fans wondering what they could truly mean.
Deadpool 3.
With the Easter eggs being mentioned, there is one rather peculiar scene in the trailer that fans just can’t figure out the reason behind: Wade carrying golden guns while walking out in full style into the seeming battlefield with Wolverine. And since fans already know who these guns belong to, thanks to all the set leaks from the film, they also fear this scene could have a disturbing backstory.

It has been more than 15 years since Guy Ritchie released his Sherlock Holmes offering with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. A lot has changed in the film industry since then, with the 59-year-old becoming a mega star thanks to his pivotal involvement in the MCU.
Now that Downey Jr. has hung up his Iron Man suit, he is interested in making a third offering in the Sherlock Holmes film series. This is reportedly in the pipeline, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. It has been announced that there will be at least one spinoff series, though, which could be set to reinvigorate the franchise.
Detective Remains at Forefront of Popular Culture
There are rumours that there will be two spinoff series, which are due to be released on HBO Max. This could be a clever move from the streaming service, as the Sherlock Holmes brand is massive in popular culture.

TV is positively cluttered with buzzy book adaptations; 2024 alone has given us “Ripley,” “3 Body Problem,” “Under the Bridge,” “Girls on the Bus,” “Apples Never Fall,” “Palm Royale,” and way too many others to really count. Few of these projects arrive to the screen with as much clout — and as high of expectations — as “The Sympathizer,” HBO’s newest limited series. Not only was Viet Thanh Nguyen’s 2015 novel about the queasy half-existence of a North Vietnamese spy burrowed in the South Vietnamese army extremely popular when it hit book stores in 2015, it was also highly acclaimed, receiving the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. That’s a lot for any show to live up to.
That said, the show certainly has the pedigree behind the cameras to match the original work. The HBO “Sympathizer” limited series comes from Korean auteur Park Chan-wook, who co-created the series with Don McKellar and directs...

To quote Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Infinity War,’ “Your math is blowing my mind.” Last month, director Zack Snyder appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience (you can watch/listen below) to promote his latest film, “Rebel Moon: Part Two” (read our review). Among many of the comments made and stories told, Snyder suggested that more people saw his movie on Netflix than “Barbie” in theaters, a hot take the director used to defend using “Netflix math.”
Pulling 160 million viewers seemingly out of the air, Snyder tried to make a 1:1 comparison between theater tickets sold and the number of people streaming, which is tricky and dubious given dozens of reasons.

Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. had a career renaissance when he starred in 2008 as Tony Stark in Iron Man. The film laid the foundations of the MCU and is still considered to be one of the most important superhero films to be made, despite releasing in the same year as Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.
However, Iron Man was not the only character Downey Jr. played in 2008. A few months after he appeared in the MCU film, he starred as Kirk Lazarus in Ben Stiller’s satire action film Tropic Thunder. He was even nominated for an Oscar for his role as a method actor who altered his skin color to play a Black man in a film. The role has attracted controversy since its release for its use of Blackface on the star.

The recent decades in Hollywood have repeatedly proved that sometimes everything is about competent marketing — and some films may serve as the most striking examples of it.
Back in 2000, a dramedy with Michael Douglas in the leading role was critically acclaimed upon its release, but eventually ended up being a box office failure due to the misguided promotional steps. Despite that, the financial disaster didn’t besmirch the leading actors’ careers — quite the contrary, the movie witnessed their best performances.
Based on Michael Chabon’s 1995 novel of the same name, Wonder Boys follows professor Grady Tripp, portrayed by Michael Douglas, who teaches creative writing in an unnamed university somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Tripp happens to be an experienced writer, but probably not in its best meaning — the character had once created a novel that later on found an overwhelming success among the public and clearly promised the prospects of a flourishing career.
