<p>Veteran actor Harrison Ford is all set to replace late actor William Hurt in the role of General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reported Slashfilm. The 80-year-old actor is expected to play the role in the upcoming <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-marvels-answer-to-suicide-squad-everything-to-know-about-thunderbolts-515705">'Thunderbolts'</a></strong> movie. Hurt, who played the role in 'The Incredible Hulk', 'Captain America: Civil War', 'Avengers: Infinity War', 'Avengers: Endgame', and 'Black Widow', died on March 13, 2022 at the age of 71 from complications arising from prostate cancer. The casting of Ford, 80, is a win for Marvel Studios. Ross is a General in the United States military, who tried to revive the super-soldier project to create a weapon. But the experiment instead resulted in the Hulk.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Auctioneers on Wednesday revealed the most expensive art collection to be offered for sale.

<p>American actor and comedian TJ Miller has said that he and Ryan Reynolds have reconciled after his recent comments about the Canadian actor being&nbsp; "horrifically mean" to him in front of the cast and crew of 'Deadpool' and that he finds it weird that he hates him. Now, Miller, who played the role of Weasel in the first two 'Deadpool' films, has said that after his comments on Reynolds went out into the world, the latter reached out to him. Miller told SiriusXM's Jim Norton &amp; Sam Roberts Show, "It was really cool, he emailed me the next day. It was a misunderstanding, so I emailed him back and now it's, like, fine."</p>

<p>Earlier, on 'The Adam Carolla Show', Miller had spoken about Reynolds hostile behaviour towards him. he said, "We had a really weird moment, really weird moment on Deadpool where he said, ‘Let’s do one more take.’ And everyone’s like, ‘OK,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah I’m fine.’"</p>

<p>He added, "And then as the character, he was like horrifically mean to me, but to me. As if I’m Weasel. He’s like, ‘You know what’s great about you Weasel? You’re not the star. But you just, you know, you do just enough exposition that it’s funny. And then we can leave and get back to the real movie.’ Sure he’s [riffing]. That’s EXACTLY why he said that. Because I’m not funnier than he is at all right?"</p>

<p>"But I think after he got super, super famous from the first Deadpool, things kind of changed. … I dunno, would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again. But I’ve said that about Michael Bay and now we’re friends and I would work with him again. But I think Michael Bay is different," Miller went on.&nbsp;</p>

<p>TJ Miller is not expected to return for the third 'Deadpool' movie. Meanwhile, Hugh Jackman will reprise the role of Wolverine in 'Deadpool 3'. Jackman had earlier denied he will reprise Wolverine again and James Mangold's 'Logan' was meant to be his final film as the character.</p>

<p>While Jamie Lee Curtis has been in numerous other movies, for better or worse she is best known for the 'Halloween' franchise and the character Laurie Strode. The first 'Halloween', released in 1978, was her debut movie. She would go on to reprise the role six more times (including voice roles in 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch'). She will, of course, play the role again in 'Halloween Ends'. But this, she promises, will be her last rodeo as Michael Myers' greatest foe after more than 40 years of association with the iconic horror slasher franchise. Jamie confirmed the same while speaking to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.</p>

I, Jamie Lee Curtis, queen of scream, daughter of Janet Lee and Tony Curtis, mother of Lindsay Lohan, hereby swear under penalty of perjury Halloween Ends (2022) will be the last Halloween movie I’ll ever appear for all-time, across all sequels and multiverses, enforceable by the police department of Haddonfield, Illinois.”</p>

<p>'Halloween Ends' concludes the 'H40' trilogy that began with 2018's 'Halloween'. The trilogy brings together Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers or the Shape (Nick Castle) in a final confrontation.

<p>The death of legendary English actor Alan Rickman in 2016 was a huge loss to cinema. The award-winning actor was known for his considerable screen presence and a deep voice that served his characters well, particularly if they were not, um, morally perfect. While he gave numerous great performances in his career, for most of us, he will always be remembered for playing black-clad Severus Snape in the 'Harry Potter' film series. Initially presented as a forbidding, almost evil character, JK Rowling, who wrote the source material, pulled the rug under the readers' (and viewers') feet when Snape ended up as probably the most complex, compelling, and tragic character in the entire story.</p>

<p>And it was mainly thanks to Rickman, who embodied the character's many, many&nbsp;contradictions perfectly. It turns out the late thespian did really have a streak of Snape in him, which probably made his performance so credible. Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, is releasing his memoir 'Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard' soon, and recalled an incident in which Rickman turned on his Snape-mode -- offscreen.&nbsp;</p>

The death of legendary English actor Alan Rickman in 2016 was a huge loss to cinema. The award-winning actor was known for his considerable screen presence and a deep voice that served his characters well, particularly if they were not, um, morally perfect.

The death of legendary English actor Alan Rickman in 2016 was a huge loss to cinema. The award-winning actor was known for his considerable screen presence and a deep voice that served his characters well, particularly if they were not, um, morally perfect. While he gave numerous great performances in his career, for most of us, he will always be remembered for playing black-clad Severus Snape in the 'Harry Potter' film series. Initially presented as a forbidding, almost evil character, JK Rowling, who wrote the source material, pulled the rug under the readers' (and viewers') feet when Snape ended up as probably the most complex, compelling, and tragic character in the entire story. And it was mainly thanks to Rickman, who embodied the character's many, many contradictions perfectly. It turns out the late thespian did really have a streak of Snape in him, which probably made his performance so credible. Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, is releasing his memoir 'Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard' soon, and recalled an incident in which Rickman turned on his Snape-mode -- offscreen.

<p>Colin Farrell's transformation for the role of Oswald Cobblepot, better known as the Penguin, in Matt Reeves 'The Batman' was for many people unbelievable. Slathered with layers and layers of makeup and prosthetics, the Irish actor looked nothing like his real self. Nevertheless, his performance in the movie as the iconic Batman villain was widely praised. And Farrell is all set to headline his own spinoff series. And despite what has been happening with Warner Bros Discovery, the multiple cancellations and "restructuring", it appears the series is safe. It also recently found its director in Craig Zobel, known for 'Mare of Easttown'.</p>

<p>Farrell recently spoke to Collider and described the series with adjectives like "tasty" and "unusual". He said, "Shooting here in New York. I think if it goes ahead, I read the first episode, which is just so tasty and so unusual as the character was on the page and what Matt Reeves kind of envisioned when he was thinking of this iteration of the bang up of Oz. So yeah, it’ll be, I think six or eight hours. I’m supposed to read episode two and three within the next week."</p>

<p>He added that while Zobel might be the director, Reeves is still closely involved.</p>

"And just a really good company of people. And Matt Reeves is all over it. And sure Matt is borderline OCD when it comes to his focus and trying to do something new and original and with feeling and aesthetic and all that good stuff. So it would be, I would love, I had such a blast doing that, Steve," he added.</p>

A reboot of the franchise and stars Robert Pattinson in the role of DC superhero, it proved to be one of the biggest successes for Warner Bros during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Colin Farrell on 'The Batman' spinoff series on Penguin: 'It's so tasty and unusual'

<p>Brendan Fraser is enjoying a comeback on the big screen through Darren Aronofsky's 'The Whale'. Although he never really went away, his career did descend into minor roles in small movies that hardly anybody ever saw. He was once a big name thanks to his work in 'The Mummy' and its sequel 'The Mummy Returns', not so much 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor', the third and final installment which was a decent commercial success but its box office returns were much lower than the prequels. Now, Fraser is once again back to winning our hearts. For 'The Whale' he has been receiving standing ovations from sundry film festivals around the world.</p>

<p>Will he return to the 'The Mummy' franchise again while considering what happened with the third movie and also Tom Cruise-starrer disastrous reboot 'The Mummy' in 2017? While speaking to Variety, Fraser said yes, he might return, but only if there is a compelling idea.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I don’t know how it would work. But I’d be open to it if someone came up with the right conceit," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also spoke about 2017's reboot, saying it leaned too much towards horror, and not much towards being "a thrill ride."</p>

<p>“It is hard to make that movie. The ingredient that we had going for our Mummy, which I didn’t see in that film, was fun. That was what was lacking in that incarnation. It was too much of a straight-ahead horror movie. ‘The Mummy’ should be a thrill ride, but not terrifying and scary," he said.</p>

<p>He added, “I know how difficult it is to pull it off. I tried to do it three times.”</p>

<p>In 'The Whale', Fraser plays the role of Charlie. He is a massively obese father of a teenage girl Ellie (Sadie Sink). The film follows Charlie as he tries to rebuild his bond with her after he abandoned his family for a gay lover. His obesity is due to his guilt that led him to binge eat.</p>

<p>'The Whale' has received mostly positive reviews. It has scored 71 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, "Held together by a killer Brendan Fraser, The Whale sings a song of empathy that will leave most viewers blubbering."</p>

<p>'The Whale' is set to be released on December 9, 2022 in the US.<br />

The film follows Charlie as he tries to rebuild his bond with her after he abandoned his family for a gay lover. His obesity is due to his guilt that led him to binge eat. 'The Whale' has received mostly positive reviews. It has scored 71 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, "Held together by a killer Brendan Fraser, The Whale sings a song of empathy that will leave most viewers blubbering." 'The Whale' is set to be released on December 9, 2022 in the US.

Brendan Fraser is open to returning for 'The Mummy 4' but there's a catch: 'If someone came up...'

<p>Dwayne Johnson-led upcoming DC movie 'Black Adam' has been a long time coming. It has been in development in one form or another since the early 2000s, and even Johnson has been attached to portray the character since 2007. And finally, it is coming. In this Jaume Collet-Serra directorial, Johnson plays the role of the iconic DC anti-hero and Shazam's arch-enemy.

<p>Collider's Steven Weintraub tweeted, "have seen #BlackAdam. @TheRock is fantastic as Black Adam. He spent 10 years getting ready for this role and he literally kills anyone and everyone in his way and I loved that he didn't pull back on who Black Adam is.

<p>Fandango's Erik Davis wrote, "DC’s #BlackAdam ROCKS! Tons of action, characters you’re instantly invested in &amp; terrific pacing. Dwayne Johnson finds a great balance in being menacing &amp; badass, but also empathetic. Especially loved Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman &amp; Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate. More JSA movies please!"</p>
