Nine years after the debut of “Mad Max: Fury Road” in the South of France, George Miller is once again the toast of the Croisette. The audience at the world premiere of the director’s prequel “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” went wild for his latest high-octane action film, showering the movie with an enthusiastic six-minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday night.
Taylor-Joy blew kisses into the camera as the clapping continued, performing a theatrical bow. Hemsworth looked teary-eyed at the rapturous response.
“We worked very hard on this film, and it’ll be very interesting to see what you make of it,” Miller said briefly, taking a microphone to address the crowd. “Thank you for having us.”

You might not have expected the biggest movie of the year to include a reference to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, but Barbie did exactly that. After the Barbie’s wake up from the patriarchy brought to Barbie-land, one says, “It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really invested in the Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League.“
While speaking with Men’s Health, Zack Snyder said that Warner Bros. co-ceo Michael DeLuca gave Snyder’s wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, a heads-up that Barbie would include a joke about the Snyder-Cut. “They gave us a heads-up,” Snyder said. “And he said, ‘Hey, there’s a reference to ‘Justice League’ in the movie. It’s cool and whatever, I hope you guys understand, we think it’s awesome.’” Snyder added that he thought “Barbie was great” and that the joke was “pretty good.“

Zack Snyder knew he was going to be the butt of a “Barbie” joke well before the blockbuster comedy opened in theaters from Warner Bros. In a new interview with Men’s Health, the “Rebel Moon” director revealed Warner Bros.’ film co-chief Michael DeLuca informed his wife and producer partner Deborah Snyder earlier this year about the joke and the studio’s intention to keep it in the film’s final cut.
The Snyder Cut joke in “Barbie” arrives during a critical moment in the film. Ryan Gosling’s Ken has introduced Barbie Land to the patriarchy, brainwashing the once-independent Barbies into existing solely to serve the Kens. America Ferrara gives an impassioned, feminist speech that lifts the spell, prompting a Barbie played by Alexandra Shipp to describe her time being under the patriarchy as the following: “It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really...
