<p>Even after 15 years since its release, <em>Iron Man</em>, the film that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), still holds hidden gems that fans have yet to discover. In a recent interview with Screen Rant, producer Jeremy Latcham unveiled that there are deleted scenes from <em>Iron Man</em> that are so subpar that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has made it clear they will never see the light of day. One of these unreleased scenes involves the Ten Rings, the menacing terrorist group responsible for Tony Stark's capture at the beginning of the film. While the Ten Rings initially task Tony with constructing a missile for them, Latcham revealed the existence of another deleted scene where Tony's responsibilities extended beyond his engineering expertise to a rather unusual duty: doing the terrorists' laundry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Latcham recollected a conversation with Feige in 2012, during which they contemplated the possibility of sharing the "Abu doing laundry" scene with fans.&nbsp;</p>

But there was a whole runner in <em>Iron Man</em> where Tony Stark was doing laundry and I don't think they've ever come out," said Latcham.</p>

MCU's 'dirty laundry'? Iron Man scenes so strange, fans will never see them

<p>Amidst his visit to Britain for the Coronation, Prince Harry allegedly made a swift entrance and exit at Buckingham Palace without engaging with senior members of the Royal Family, as claimed in a recent report mentioned in the Daily Mail. According to the report, the Duke of Sussex spent less than thirty minutes at the Palace after the Westminster Abbey service before rushing to Heathrow Airport to return to the United States on Saturday. Photographs captured the Prince leaving Westminster Abbey at 1:15 pm and entering a black BMW, with subsequent sightings showing him near Heathrow's entrance by 2&nbsp;pm.</p>

<p>The tight timing of Prince Harry's journey to the airport suggests that stopping at Buckingham Palace, reportedly for "logistical reasons," was unlikely. Former Royal Protection Officer Ken Wharfe expressed doubt about the feasibility of the Duke's visit, citing the 35-minute journey from the West End to Heathrow under police escort as the fastest possible route. Wharfe opined that given the presence of Harry's family at the Abbey for the Coronation, there would be no one at the Palace to receive him, making a stop there highly improbable.</p>

Prince Harry's 'magical disappearing act' at Buckingham Palace raises eyebrows

<p>JR Moehringer, novelist and ghostwriter for Prince Harry's memoir, <em>Spare,&nbsp;</em>has provided insights into their collaborative process, shedding light on both the positive and challenging aspects of their partnership. In a piece published by <em>The New Yorker </em>on May 8, Moehringer recounted a significant disagreement he had with Harry during the book's editing phase. The dispute arose over a passage concerning the Duke of Sussex's demanding military exercises in England and escalated into a late-night argument over Zoom. According to Moehringer, Harry wanted to include a "vile dig" made by a fictional terrorist about his late mother, Princess Diana. However, the author strongly advised against including the comment in the memoir.</p>

<p>Moehringer described the tense moment, stating that Harry remained silent and stared into the camera. Eventually, he explained that throughout his life, people had undermined his intellectual capabilities. "He was just glaring into the camera. Finally, he exhaled and calmly explained that all his life, people had belittled his intellectual capabilities, and this flash of cleverness proved that, even after being kicked and punched and deprived of sleep and food, he had his wits about him," he said.</p>

<p>The profile also revealed that Moehringer formed a connection with Harry over the shared experience of losing their mothers. Reflecting on their initial conversation, the author remarked on the relatability and frustration he felt regarding Harry's mistreatment by both strangers and close acquaintances.</p>

<p>Additionally, Moehringer spoke highly of his time spent with Meghan Markle, Harry's wife, during his visits to their California home. Meghan graciously hosted him in their guesthouse, and she often brought trays of food and sweets, knowing he missed his own family.</p>

Prince Harry memoir ghostwriter reveals collaborative challenges and clashes over controversial content

<p>In a heartbreaking announcement that has left fans across the globe in a state of shock, iconic punk rock band Sum 41 revealed their decision to split following the release of their final album and an accompanying world tour. After more than two decades of creating infectious anthems and captivating live performances, this news marks the end of an era for both the band and their devoted fanbase.</p>

<p>Formed in 1996 in Ajax, Ontario, Sum 41 burst onto the music scene with their high-energy punk sound, blending elements of pop-punk, alternative rock, and heavy metal. Their debut album,<em> All Killer No Filler</em>,&nbsp;released in 2001, became an instant sensation, catapulting them to international fame. The album spawned hit singles such as "Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep," which resonated with a generation of music enthusiasts and solidified Sum 41 as one of the leading acts of the early 2000s punk revival.</p>

<p>A social media statement read, "Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in every way. It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first. Sum 41 will be disbanding. We will still be finishing all of our current upcoming tour dates this year, and we're looking forward to releasing our final album "Heaven :x: Hell," along with a final worldwide headlining tour to celebrate. Details will be announced as soon as we have them. For now, we look forward to seeing all of you skumfuks on the road and are excited for what the future will bring for each of us.

The band's lyrical depth, combined with their infectious melodies and explosive live performances, garnered them a dedicated following that remained loyal throughout the years.</p>

<p>However, despite their enduring popularity and influential contributions to the punk rock genre, the members of Sum 41 have collectively decided to embark on separate musical paths. This announcement comes as a bittersweet blow to fans who have been eagerly awaiting new material and eagerly anticipating future tours.</p>

Sum 41 announces split after final album, fans say 'end of an era'

<p>The ongoing WGA Strike has claimed another victim. One of the in-development <em>Game of Thrones</em> spinoff, <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight</em>, has halted pre-production as the writers room for the show was shut down. This means that the creative development of the series, including the writing and shaping of episodes, is currently at a standstill. <em>The Hedge Knight </em>is based on Martin's novella series <em>Dunk &amp; Egg</em>. They serve as prequels to the main series and follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, a hedge knight, and his squire, Egg. George RR Martin, the creator of this fiction world through his fantasy book series <em>A Song of Ice and Fire</em>, confirmed the same in a blog post.&nbsp;</p>

Game of Thrones spinoff 'The Hedge Knight' hits pause due to WGA strike

<p>Prince Harry's position within the royal family has been a topic of considerable interest since he stepped away from his official royal duties. With King Charles's highly anticipated coronation on the horizon, discussions surrounding the seating arrangements for the ceremony have intensified. Recent reports hint that Prince Harry may find himself seated in the third row, fuelling inquiries about his role and position within the royal hierarchy. This arrangement, seen by some as symbolic, sheds light on the persisting tensions within the royal family.</p>

<p>As per UK tabloid Daily Mirror, Harry's position will be far behind his brother and father and even other senior royals. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have had a strained relationship with the royal family since their decision to step back from their royal duties in January 2020. The decision created a lot of furore in British public and media.

King Charles III coronation: Prince Harry takes a backseat? Third-row seating raises eyebrows

<p>King Charles III's enduring case of puffy fingers has captivated the attention of royal watchers and the general public alike. The distinct appearance of his fingers, resembling swollen sausages, has sparked widespread speculation regarding the underlying cause of this peculiar physical condition. Shedding some light on the matter, a medical expert has weighed in on the possible explanation. Dr. Chun Tang, the Medical Director at Pall Mall Medical in Manchester, recently spoke to The Daily Mail, stating, "There are numerous reasons a person may suffer with 'sausage' fingers. Often, puffy fingers are a symptom of water retention, which can be caused by various health conditions. Medically, this condition is referred to as dactylitis."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "This condition arises due to inflammation and can be a result of arthritis, multiple bacterial infections or even TB. Other possibilities include high salt levels, allergic reactions, medicinal side effects, injury and autoimmune diseases. Treatment for this condition can be determined when the underlying cause is identified. A blood test should be carried out to determine the underlying issues."</p>

King Charles' 'Sausage Fingers': Royal mystery solved by doctor ahead of coronation

King Charles III coronation: From Sonam Kapoor to Akshata Murty, every Indian expected to attend the event

<p><em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3</em> is here. The film has received mostly positive reviews, though they are not as glowing as the first two movies. The film serves as the conclusion to the trilogy. In the film, Rocket (Bradley Cooper) is grievously injured, and the rest of the Guardians go on a quest to rescue him. They come face to face with High Revolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), a megalomaniacal scientist who has been experimenting on animals and humans to create hybrids and ultimately want to create a utopia populated by these hybrids. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Sean Gunn, Will Poulter, Elizabeth Debicki, Maria Bakalova, and Sylvester Stallone also star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Do not read further if you have not seen the movie. There will be spoilers.</p>

<p><strong>SPOILER ALERT</strong></p>

<h2><strong>What happens in <em>Guardians of the Galaxy 3?</em></strong></h2>

<p>In the film, the Guardians are settled at Knowhere, the Celestial head that we have visited in earlier MCU movies. The place serves as the headquarters of the group and also a refuge for those who have no other place to call home. Peter Quill has become a drunkard and wants to drown his sorrow over losing Gamora (twice) in alcohol. Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) has grown up into a size that is comparable to the original Groot. He is also nicer than the bratty teenager he was earlier. Nebula (Karen Gillan) is also nicer, but due to her very nature, retains that edge. Mantis (Pom Klementieff) also has an edge now and for an empath, not much patience. Drax is the same-old sweetie under a tough (literally and figuratively) exterior.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-review-hilarious-and-heart-wrenching-best-mcu-film-in-years-589362/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Suddenly, a powerful, golden-hued being, Adam Warlock, flies into Knowhere and tries to kidnap Rocket. Although he defeats everyone, he is eventually defeated after Nebula stabs him through the heart. Of course, he does not die and manages to escape. Meanwhile, Rocket is grievously injured, and the Guardians discover that he has a kill switch embedded inside his body and has only 48 hours to live.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Guardians decide to travel to Orgoscope, the base of Orgocorp, High Evolutionary's company. They reluctantly team up with Ravagers and it is revealed that Gamora is with them. They infiltrate the base but are attacked but they manage to escape.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Next, they visit Counter-Earth, a planet where High Revolutionary has decided to build his supposedly utopic society. The new Gamora is not friendly to Peter, who decides to convince her that she is in love with him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even as the narrative goes on, we get to see Rocket in flashbacks. We learn that as a baby he and many other animals were experimented upon and tortured by High Revolutionary in his mad quest for perfection.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, after an extended battle and skirmishes, the High Evolutionary is vanquished and the subjects under his control are rescued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After everything, Peter declares that he is leaving the team, making everyone emotional. He makes Rocker the new captain of the Guardians. Mantis does the same, refusing Drax's offer to protect her. Gamora also leaves the Guardians and rejoins the Ravagers. Nebula and Drax stay on Knowhere to care for the rescued children and animals.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/10-marvel-dc-characters-who-need-their-own-movies-511168/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<h2><strong>Mid-credits scene</strong></h2>

<p>In a mid-credits scene, we get to finally see the Guardians as they stand currently. It consists of Rocket, Groot, Kraglin, Warlock, Phyla, and Blurp (you will get to meet the new characters during the film). They are protecting a community of people from marauders.</p>

<p>So the Guardians will go on, after all. Sure enough, Gunn has said that this is his last movie in the franchise, but it appears we will again see them alongside Avengers in future movies. While the scene does not feature a big reveal or setup anything significant, it does signal that if you like Guardians, they will stay, albeit in another form.</p>

<h2><strong>Post-credits scene</strong></h2>

<p>In the post-credits scene, Peter reunites with his grandfather. It is not a super-important scene. We just see them sitting at a table and talking. Clearly, Quill has always wanted to have a normal life that was snatched away from him when his mother was impregnated by Ego and the Ravagers kidnapped him.<br />

Guardians of the Galaxy 3: Ending and post-credits scenes explained!

<p>The popular television western <em>Yellowstone </em>with Kevin Costner will end this fall and be replaced almost immediately by a sequel. But like any good drama, there’s some mystery involved. The sequel, still untitled, will premiere December on the Paramount cable network, which also televises <em>Yellowstone</em>, Paramount said on Friday. Behind Costner, who plays Montana rancher John Dutton, series creator Taylor Sheridan launched a phenomenon. The opening of its fifth season last November was seen by 12.1 million viewers on the night of its debut, more people than any other scripted series last fall — a remarkable feat for a show not on a broadcast network.</p>

<p>“We’ve been able to create a show that didn’t start out being popular but did it on its own terms,” Costner told The Associated Press last fall.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-review-hilarious-and-heart-wrenching-best-mcu-film-in-years-589362/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p><em>Yellowstone </em>will wrap up with new episodes airing in November; how many was not announced on Friday. Those episodes haven’t been filmed yet, and it’s not clear whether Costner will participate following reports that he may want out of the series.</p>

<p>Paramount would not comment on that Friday, with a spokesperson saying only, “Kevin Costner is a big part of <em>Yellowstone </em>and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come.”</p>

<p>David Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios, which produces <em>Yellowstone </em>with MTV Entertainment, said the new series “will be picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale.” While the series hasn’t been named, the word Yellowstone will be part of the title — an important distinction because that wasn’t the case for spinoffs like 1883&nbsp;or 1923.</p>

<p>Paramount has denied published reports that actor Matthew McConaughey is signed to star in the sequel. But a spokesperson said Friday that McConaughey “is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.”</p>

<p>Following its debut on the cable network, the sequel will also air on the Paramount+ streaming network.</p>

<p>That’s a hugely important distinction for the company. <em>Yellowstone </em>streams on NBC Universal’s Peacock service, owned by Comcast, meaning a big chunk of revenue created by the popular drama has been going elsewhere.</p>

Yellowstone rides off into the sunset, but a sequel is already on the horizon

<p>It has been more than a month since the release of <em>The Super Mario Bros. Movie</em>, and the animated video game adaptation is still breaking box office records. Now it has surpassed the $500 million mark. That makes it Illumination and Universal's&nbsp;first animated feature to do that. It is also only the fourth movie since 2019 to get past the point. The film is already the biggest movie based on a video game ever. Globally, its box office haul stands at $1.04 billion. Featuring Chris Pratt as the titular Italian-American plumber, the film is based on Nintento's celebrated Mario franchise. The film also has Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen voicing various characters.</p>

<p><em>The Super Mario Bros Movie</em> follows the story of Mario and Luigi (Day), two plumbers from Brooklyn who get sucked into a Warp Pipe and end up in different kingdoms. Mario ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom ruled by Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), while Luigi lands in the Dark Lands ruled by the Koopa king Bowser (Black).</p>

<p>WION's review of the film was mildly positive. It read, "In the grand scheme of things, <em>The Super Mario Bros. Movie</em> is a small blip on the radar of video game adaptations. It's not the worst one out there, but it's certainly not the best. However, it's a testament to the enduring popularity of the Mario franchise that people are still interested in seeing these characters on the big screen, even after all these years."</p>

<p>The review continued, "One of the strengths of these games has always been their ability to appeal to a wide range of audiences. Kids and adults alike can enjoy the colourful worlds and zany characters that populate the games. The movie is able to capture that same sense of joy and wonder, bringing to life its world in a way that feels true to the source material."</p>
