Russo Brothers want to direct 'Secret Wars' for MCU: It would be bigger than 'Infinity War' and 'Endgame'

<p>Marvel Studios, the studio behind the biggest film franchise of all time -- Marvel Cinematic Universe -- is often blamed for being overbearing with filmmakers who are micromanaged to keep up with the style of the studio. But that is likely&nbsp;not true. Otherwise talented filmmakers like Taika Waititi, James Gunn, and the Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony Russo) who began as indie directors would not have flourished in MCU and we would not have movies like 'Thor: Ragnarok', 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Avengers: Endgame'.</p>

<p>The news of Marvel approaching Spielberg comes from The Vulture, which said that the studio tried to reach out to Spielberg.

Did Marvel Studios approach Steven Spielberg for 'Fantastic Four'? Here's the truth

<p>2019's 'Avengers: Endgame' was an end of an era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For one, it was literally the end of the Infinity Saga that began at the very beginning of MCU with 2008's 'Iron Man'. The threat of the Big Bad of the MCU until then, Thanos, was finally ended by the Avengers. While 'Endgame' and its prequel 'Infinity War' brought a whole lot of joy in the life of fans and cheers in the theatres (as evidenced by the videos recorded in cinema halls that went viral), there were also reasons for sorrow. The movies also had major casualties like Tom Hiddleston's Loki, Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff or Black Widow and Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark or Iron Man.</p>

<p>The Russo Brothers, who directed both 'Infinity War' and 'Endgame' as well as the last two 'Captain America' movies ('The Winter Soldier' and 'Civil War', meanwhile have commented specifically on the deaths of Tony and Loki. During an interaction with Wired on the sidelines of their latest film, an action thriller for Netflix called 'The Gray Man', Joe Russo said that they deserved to die.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Loki was initially introduced as the supervillain of 2012's 'The Avengers' when he was bestowed with the Chitauri army by Thanos and attacked New York. But despite his evil tendencies he also had redeeming qualities and remained shifty and unknowable. His death in 'Infinity War' was heartbreaking not just because of Hiddleston and Loki's character arc, but also because he died while trying to save his brother Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth).</p>

<p>Our first look teaser for the upcoming fifth season of 'The Handmaid's Tale' is here. Hulu's multiple Emmy-winning dystopian series is created by Bruce Miller and is based on Margaret Wood's celebrated novel of the same name. The story is set in near-future New England. Most of the United States has become a white supremacist and patriarchal state called the Republic of Gilead after the government was overthrown by a religious cult called Sons of Jacob. The main protagonist Offred and later June (Elisabeth Moss) is one of the 'handmaids', who are women whose only purpose is to produce children for the ruling class.</p>

<p>The new season's teaser is a clip clocking just over a minute and shows that the struggle for June is still not over. In the finale of season 4, June and the other handmaids beat Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) to death and sent his severed finger and wedding ring to his wife Serena (Yvonne Strahovski).</p>

<p>In Season 5, June will have to face the consequences of her actions. The teaser promises a bloody, action-packed season. June proclaims in a voice-over that she is not done with Gilead yet. She looks menacingly at something off-camera. We cannot wait for Season 5.</p>

<p>Ready to ruin your childhood? No? Either way, consider it ruined. Take a look at the stills and posters of this really, really weird upcoming horror movie,<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/winnie-the-pooh-is-playing-a-role-of-a-killer-in-this-new-horror-movie-internet-is-in-shock-482368"> 'Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey'.</a></strong> 'Blood And Honey' became possible because Disney no longer holds the exclusive rights to the character and stories involving the honey-loving bear. Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain in 2021 according to US copyright law.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And this gave indie film director Rhys Frake-Wakefield a chance to capitalise by making this horror slasher movie. And what a horror movie it looks like.

<p>Disgraced former chairman of the Indian Premier League Lalit Modi has made a bombshell revelation. He claims to be in a relationship with actor Sushmita Sen. He shared pictures with Sushmita on his Twitter handle, stating that he is back in London after a global tour with his "better half" Sushmita. This prompted many to speculate as to whether he has married the 'Aarya' actor.</p>

<p>In a follow-up tweet, Modi clarified that no, they are not married -- yet. "That too it will happen one day. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾" he wrote.&nbsp;</p>

He shared pictures with Sushmita on his Twitter handle, stating that he is back in London after a global tour with his "better half" Sushmita. This prompted many to speculate as to whether he has married the 'Aarya' actor. In a follow-up tweet, Modi clarified that no, they are not married -- yet. "That too it will happen one day. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾" he wrote.

<p>Los Angeles prosecutors said Tuesday they will no longer oppose the release of sealed transcripts in the statutory rape case against Roman Polanski -- documents which the fugitive director has previously argued could reveal judicial misconduct. George Gascon, the Los Angeles County district attorney, said his office had "determined it to be in the interest of justice to agree to the unsealing of these transcripts."</p>

<p>"This case has been described by the courts as 'one of the longest-running sagas in California criminal justice history,'" said Gascon in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For years, this office has fought the release of information that the victim and public have a right to know."</p>

<p>While it is not known what exactly the transcripts contain, they include testimony by former Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson, the first prosecutor to handle Polanski's case.</p>

<p>In 1977, French-Polish director Polanski was arrested after 13-year-old Samantha Gailey accused him of plying her with drugs and champagne and forcibly sodomizing her. Seeking to spare the child a trial, prosecutors dropped the most serious charges in a plea deal, with Polanski accepting guilt for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.</p>

<p>He served 42 days in prison while undergoing psychiatric evaluation. When it appeared that the judge, Laurence Rittenband, was set to reconsider and hand down a much lengthier prison sentence, Polanski fled to France, where he still resides.</p>

<p>The ‘Rosemary's Baby’ and ‘Chinatown’ director has not returned to the United States since and has been engaged in a decades-long cat-and-mouse game with officials seeking his extradition, before a global audience split between continuing outrage and forgiveness for his acts.</p>

<p>According to Gascon's statement, Polanski first requested the transcripts be unsealed "several years ago" in order to "conduct an investigation into alleged judicial misconduct." Gascon also described the circumstances in which Polanski was initially treated by prosecutors as "extraordinary" and added that his office was committed to "transparency and accountability for all in the justice system."</p>

<p>The Hollywood Reporter said the new request to see the transcripts came not from Polanski, but from two journalists.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gailey publicly forgave Polanski in 1997 and said her treatment by the press and judicial system was worse than the original crime. She has also previously called for the transcripts to be unsealed.</p>

<p>But Gascon's statement concludes: "Polanski remains a fugitive from justice and should surrender himself to the Los Angeles County Superior Court to be sentenced."</p>

<p>In more recent years, Polanski -- now 88 -- has also been accused of other historic sex crimes by different women. He denies the allegations, for which the statute of limitations has expired.</p>

<p>Another&nbsp;teaser for 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' is here. The much-anticipated Amazon Prime Video fantasy series promises to be the TV event of our life with a budget that dwarfs every TV show (or movie for that matter). With five seasons, it reportedly has a budget of $1 billion, and the rights to the Middle-earth stories from the Tolkien Estate were bought for $250 million. Created by J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay, the series has no relation to the Peter Jackson-directed 'LotR' trilogy, and is instead set thousands of years before the events of those films. There are a few characters that both stories do share like Galadriel and Elrond, for elves in JRR Tolkien's writings live forever until they are killed.</p>

<p>While it has 'Lord of the Rings' in the name, it is not actually based on Tolkiens' tome, but takes place in an era where the Rings of Power were forged. Among those Rings was the One Ring, which was destroyed at the end of 'The Lord of the Rings'. The Rings were forged by elven smith Celebrimbor, who was fooled by Sauron, who did not tell him the secretly forged One Ring, whose bearer was given the power to rule the other Rings.</p>

<p>The newest trailer teases an epic battle between the light and the dark as those on the side of light gear up for Sauron and the forces of Mordor. Every race needs to reunite to take on the biggest threat Middle-Earth has ever seen since Melkor (later known as Morgoth) cast his dark shadow over the world.</p>

<p>We begin with a conversation between Harfoots, the proto-hobbits who eventually became inhabitants of the Shire in LotR. While hobbits had no part to play in the events surrounding the forging of Rings of Power, the writers behind the show must have included them thanks to the role they would later play in defeating Sauron and his forces.</p>

<p>We see Galadriel and Elrond in conversation, and the Lady of Light tells the future lord of Rivendell that darkness is coming to Middle-earth and despite his protestations insists that he has not seen what she has seen. We are also shown glimpses of the&nbsp;vision she is talking about, in which a dishevelled Galadriel is surrounded by death and destruction. There are shots of imposing edifices and grand statues that tower over Middle-earth. There are also familiar vistas showcasing landscapes, mountains, valleys, rivers, and locations like Rivendell and so on that are very well done.</p>

<p>The official synopsis of the series reads, "Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."</p>

'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' new teaser: An epic, stunning return to Middle-earth

<p>Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman-starrer 'Thor: Love and Thunder' has been in theatres for about a week now and the verdict is out: it is a box office behemoth worldwide, including in India. But the critical reception of this Taika Waititi directorial is not very flattering, especially by Marvel Cinematic Universe's standards. It has a score of 67 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, which is one of the worst in MCU.</p>

<p>Still, right now 'Love and Thunder' is the biggest film in the world in terms of box office returns. Fans love that the film has two Thors, for apart from Hemsworth's Thor Odinson, Portman's Jane Foster also becomes Thor (or Mighty Thor) and lifts Mjolnir and wields it. Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Waititi, and Russell Crowe also star.</p>

<p>Many fans were puzzled by the title of the film, and Waititi appeared to imply in media interactions that it refers to the romance and action the film has in plenty. But it was not until the very end of the film that the true meaning of the title became clear. In the end, Thor managed to overpower Bale's antagonist Gorr the God Butcher, and convinced him to ask Eternity for his daughter to return from the dead, instead of wishing all gods to die. The little girl returned.&nbsp;</p>

Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman-starrer 'Thor: Love and Thunder' has been in theatres for about a week now and the verdict is out: it is a box office behemoth worldwide, including in India.

Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman-starrer 'Thor: Love and Thunder' has been in theatres for about a week now and the verdict is out: it is a box office behemoth worldwide, including in India. But the critical reception of this Taika Waititi directorial is not very flattering, especially by Marvel Cinematic Universe's standards. It has a score of 67 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, which is one of the worst in MCU. Still, right now 'Love and Thunder' is the biggest film in the world in terms of box office returns. Fans love that the film has two Thors, for apart from Hemsworth's Thor Odinson, Portman's Jane Foster also becomes Thor (or Mighty Thor) and lifts Mjolnir and wields it. Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Waititi, and Russell Crowe also star. Also Read: 'Thor Love and Thunder' review: Chris Hemsworth's film proves 'Avengers fatigue' is real Many fans were puzzled by the title of the film, and Waititi appeared to imply in media interactions that it refers to the romance and action the film has in plenty. But it was not until the very end of the film that the true meaning of the title became clear. In the end, Thor managed to overpower Bale's antagonist Gorr the God Butcher, and convinced him to ask Eternity for his daughter to return from the dead, instead of wishing all gods to die. The little girl returned.
