<p>The first reviews of <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> are finally here, and it appears the film has divided critics right down the middle. Many of the reviews are downright negative, with critics excoriating the film's CGI quality, script, and lack of originality. The 31st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has scored only 53 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. It has now become only the second MCU film, after Chloe Zhao's <em>Eternals</em>, to be a "rotten" or poorly reviewed film. The critical consensus reads, "<em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> mostly lacks the spark of fun that elevated earlier adventures, but Jonathan Majors' Kang is a thrilling villain poised to alter the course of the MCU."</p>

<p>In the film, we follow the adventures of Scott Lang, played by Paul Rudd, who went from a thief to a superhero with the ability to shrink thanks to his special suit.

Ant-Man 3 reviews out: Paul Rudd-starrer becomes second 'rotten' MCU film

<p><em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> or<em> Ant-Man 3</em> is the 31st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This Peyton Reed directorial serves as the grand introduction of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror. In comics, Kang is a popular character who is sometimes an anti-hero and other times a supervillain. Unlike other conquerors, he does not subjugate lands or peoples. His domain is time. He can manipulate time and is thus a ridiculously dangerous adversary to have. He is a time-travelling being who belongs to the 31st century. He was a descendant of his namesake Nathaniel Richards, the father of Reed Richards or Mr Fantastic (played by John Krasinski in <em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness</em>). He found out about the time travel technology invented by Doctor Doom and sought to use it, thus becoming a conqueror of temporal domains.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>To get into the headspace of Kang the Conqueror Jonathan Majors used music</h2>

<p>Majors revealed in a recent interview how he got into the head of a complex character like Kang. He revealed in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he used music to do that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Music is so beautiful because it really speaks to your subconscious, and a funny thing happens every time I begin a project and try to put together a playlist. It’s the music on the surface that you think the script is asking you for, and that can be something like Requiem for a Dream’s [“Lux Aeterna”]. You think that that’s Kang, but it ends up connecting to something that is so deep in my subconscious," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that the power of music lies in its ability to speak to the subconscious, making it an effective tool when creating a playlist for a project.</p>

<p>"I knew I wanted to include Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic." While it may not seem like an obvious choice for a Kang song, there was something about it that spoke to the elemental nature of the character. Other songs, such as The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa" and classical pieces from Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven were also included. Each song was chosen to communicate with a different part of myself, to activate and inspire different emotions and movements in the crew. Ultimately, the music serves a greater purpose than just entertainment; it helps to bring the project to life in a meaningful and impactful way," said Majors.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What is<em>&nbsp;Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's</em> plot?</h2>

<p>In <em>Quantumania</em>, Scott Lang and others are lost in the Quantum Realm, and in there they have bigger concerns than just escaping. For this pocket, the dimension is home to Kang, who wants to escape.&nbsp;The official synopsis reads, "In the film, which officially kicks off phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Super-Hero partners Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and the Wasp. Together, with Hope’s parents Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), the family finds themselves exploring the Quantum Realm, interacting with strange new creatures and embarking on an adventure that will push them beyond the limits of what they thought was possible.

<h2>Why is Kang the Conqueror so scary?</h2>

<p>While speaking to WION, Reed revealed what makes Kang the Conqueror the biggest threat Scott and the Avengers have faced. He said, "He is a character who doesn't live in a straight line. And a big part of his character is he expends the least amount of energy possible. He's a very, very clear character. If he says something, he means it, and you better listen to it. So to put those two energies up against each other struck us as something quite dramatic. It's safe to say that Scott and Hope and the rest of the family have some things in store for them in this movie that go far beyond anything they've experienced before."</p>

'Lost a true icon': Reese Witherspoon, Bruce Campbell, and others mourn Raquel Welch's death

<p>It appears DreamWorks Animation is following in Disney's footsteps. A live-action <em>How to Train Your Dragon</em> film is in development, as per media reports. The original animated trilogy was based on Cressida Cowell's children's book series&nbsp;of the same name and were both critically acclaimed and also successes&nbsp;at the box office. The franchise told the story of a young, physically feeble Viking called Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who lives in the fictional village of Berk, where Vikings and dragons are locked in a long-standing conflict. Hiccup befriends a dragon called Toothless from a particularly dangerous species Night Fury, and works to bring peace between the Vikings and the dragons.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The original, released in 2010, was followed by two sequels: <em>How to Train Your Dragon 2</em> in 2014 and <em>How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World</em> in 2019.</p>

<h3>Will a live-action<em> How to Train Your Dragon </em>movie do justice to the original movies?</h3>

<p>Dean DeBlois, who co-directed the first film and had sold directing duties on the sequels, is involved here as well, which should give fans of the franchise hope. The original films featured a strong focus on character development, humor, and epic action sequences, as well as stunning animation that brings the dragons to life. Case in point, the video embedded below:</p>

<p>There are certainly risks involved in adapting an animated movie to live-action, as many such adaptations have not been successful. Even the successful ones, like Disney's<em> The Lion King</em>, have been derided by a section of the audience.</p>

<p>One major consideration would be how to portray the dragons in a live-action format. While modern visual effects technology has advanced significantly, it would still be a difficult task to create believable dragons that look and move realistically.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, if the filmmakers approach the project with care and creativity, it's possible to recreate that magic. DeBlois and his team need to find a way to bring this world and the dragons to life in a way that is convincing and visually appealing, and cast actors who can capture the essence of the original characters.</p>

How to Train Your Dragon live-action movie in the works, but will it recreate the magic?

<p>Yesteryear Indian actress and sex symbol Zeenat Khan has opened up about the allegations of obscenity against her 1978 film <em>Satyam Shivam Sundaram</em>.

<p>The film faced controversy and legal challenges at the time of its release due to its candid portrayal of sensuality and sexuality, something which was rare in Indian films being released in that era. It was also praised by many, sometimes for the same reasons, and is now widely regarded as a path-breaking film.</p>

<p>Sharing a photo of herself from the sets of the movie, Aman wrote, "This picture was taken by photographer J P Singhal during a look test for <em>Satyam Shivam Sundaram</em> around 1977. We shot the series at R K Studios, and my costumes were designed by Oscar winner Bhanu Athaiya."</p>

<p>She added, "Anyone acquainted with the history of Bollywood will know that there was much controversy and brouhaha about my character Rupa in <em>Satyam Shivam Sundaram</em>. I was always quite amused by the accusations of obscenity as I did not and do not find anything obscene about the human body. I am a director’s actor and these looks were part of my job. Rupa’s sensuality was not the crux of the plot, but a part of it. As it is, the set is not even remotely a sensual space. Every move is choreographed, rehearsed and performed in front of dozens of crew members."</p>

<p>She went on to say that director Kapoor was "concerned about my “western” image. He was unsure whether the audience would accept me in this avatar, and so conducted this look test. Later, on the basis of this test, we shot a small reel picturised on Lata ji’s famous song ‘Jaago Mohan Pyare’ from the 1956 film <em>Jagte Raho</em>.

Yesteryear Indian actress and sex symbol Zeenat Khan has opened up about the allegations of obscenity against her 1978 film Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Directed by Raj Kapoor, the film was a romantic drama that explored the themes of inner beauty, love, and self-acceptance. The story followed Rupa (Aman), a young woman who is considered unattractive due to a burn scar on her face. She falls in love with a wealthy man named Rajeev (Shashi Kapoor), but he is initially repulsed by her appearance. As the story progresses, Rajeev begins to see beyond Rupa's physical imperfections and falls in love with her. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) The film faced controversy and legal challenges at the time of its release due to its candid portrayal of sensuality and sexuality, something which was rare in Indian films being released in that era. It was also praised by many, sometimes for the same reasons, and is now widely regarded as a path-breaking film. Sharing a photo of herself from the sets of the movie, Aman wrote, "This picture was taken by photographer J P Singhal during a look test for Satyam Shivam Sundaram around 1977. We shot the series at R K Studios, and my costumes were designed by Oscar winner Bhanu Athaiya." She added, "Anyone acquainted with the history of Bollywood will know that there was much controversy and brouhaha about my character Rupa in Satyam Shivam Sundaram. I was always quite amused by the accusations of obscenity as I did not and do not find anything obscene about the human body. I am a director’s actor and these looks were part of my job. Rupa’s sensuality was not the crux of the plot, but a part of it. As it is, the set is not even remotely a sensual space. Every move is choreographed, rehearsed and performed in front of dozens of crew members." Also Read: Zeenat Aman is now on Instagram; check out her first pic She went on to say that director Kapoor was "concerned about my “western” image. He was unsure whether the audience would accept me in this avatar, and so conducted this look test. Later, on the basis of this test, we shot a small reel picturised on Lata ji’s famous song ‘Jaago Mohan Pyare’ from the 1956 film Jagte Raho. Rajji held a screening of the reel at R K Studios to gauge the response of his distributors to me in this role. After that first screening, the rights for all territories were immediately sold." The film's title is derived from a famous Sanskrit saying that translates to "Truth is God and God is Beautiful."

<p><em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em>, Marvel Cinematic Universe's 31st movie, may not have pleased many critics, but it is still expected to score a big opening globally. As per a report in Variety, the film will gross around $255 million at the worldwide box office. In North America, its domestic market, the report said the Paul Rudd and Jonathan Majors film is expected to bring home a respectable $95 million. In India, trade analyst Taran Adarsh claims that the film has sold more than 77,000 tickets for day 1 in advanced bookings. India is always quite a profitable market for MCU movies, and it appears the third movie in Peyton Reed's Ant-Man franchise is not going to be any different.</p>

<p>While speaking to WION, Reed described what makes Kang so scary and such a big threat to the Avengers and other Marvel superheroes. "One of the things that we wanted to do with this movie was to shake Ant-Man up a little bit... take him out of his comfort zone, and really put him up against an incredibly formidable bad guy. So it was fun to take his lighthearted energy and put him up against Kang. That's not to say Kang doesn't have a sense of humour. But he is a character who doesn't live in a straight line. And a big part of his character is he expends the least amount of energy possible. He's a very, very clear character. If he says something, he means it, and you better listen to it. So to put those two energies up against each other struck us as something quite dramatic. It's safe to say that Scott and Hope and the rest of the family have some things in store for them in this movie that go far beyond anything they've experienced before," he said.&nbsp;</p>

Ant-Man 3 box office collection prediction: Despite mixed reviews, MCU film to gross $255 million

<p>The third Ant-Man movie, <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em>, is almost here. The film continues the story of Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang, a thief-turned-superhero who can turn into a diminutive superhero thanks to a special suit. Evangeline Lilly's Hope van Dyne, Kathryn Newton's (adult) Cassie Lang, Michael Douglas’s Hank Pym, and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne, are also in the film. The film will introduce the next big villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Thanos: Kang the Conqueror. Played by Jonathan Majors, Kang is unlike anybody the Avengers and other MCU superheroes have faced before. Here’s how:</p>

<p>Kang the Conqueror is a complex and fascinating character in Marvel Comics. He was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and first appeared in Avengers #8 in 1964. Originally from the 30th century, he is a time traveller who has conquered multiple timelines and alternate realities.</p>

<p>Kang's real name is Nathaniel Richards, and he is a direct descendant of Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four (the character that John Krasinski played in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). Nathaniel grew up in a world where Earth was in a state of constant war, and he used his intelligence and technological prowess to travel back in time to conquer ancient civilisations. He eventually became bored with his conquests and decided to turn his attention to the heroes of the Marvel universe.</p>

<p>Kang has a number of powers and abilities that make him a formidable opponent for many of Marvel's superheroes. He is highly intelligent and has a deep understanding of technology and physics. He is also a skilled fighter and strategist, and&nbsp;has access to advanced weapons and gadgets that give him an edge in battle. Kang is also able to manipulate time and space, which allows him to travel through time and alternate realities and create time loops and paradoxes.</p>

<p>Kang has been a major villain in many Marvel storylines, and has faced the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. He has also had a number of different identities and personas throughout his history, including Rama-Tut, Immortus, and Iron Lad. In some storylines, Kang is portrayed as a tragic figure who is trying to prevent a catastrophic event from occurring in the future, while in others he is a ruthless conqueror who seeks power and domination at any cost.</p>

<p>Overall, Kang the Conqueror is a fascinating and complex character in the Marvel universe. His mastery of time and space, along with his intelligence and fighting skills, make him a formidable foe for any superhero.</p>

<h2>Is Kang from the comics the same as the one in the MCU?</h2>

<p>Yes, and no. Marvel Studios also makes significant changes with the characters and stories when adapting for the big or small screens. So while Kang from the comics may be similar to the one in MCU in terms of abilities, their backstories&nbsp;are likely quite different. Majors’ Kang is a variant of He Who Remains, the man Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Sophie Di Martino’s Sylvie encountered at the end of Loki TV series’ season 1. This one, judging by trailers and promos, is lost in the Quantum Realm, and is less of a strongman like Thanos and more like a master manipulator and strategist. We see him offering Scott the time the Avengers lost when he was stuck in the Quantum Real and five years passed on earth.</p>

Ant-Man 3: Who exactly is Kang the Conqueror? The Big Bad explained

<p><strong>JOKER 2:&nbsp;</strong>The first look of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga from the upcoming DC movie <em>Joker: Folie à Deux</em> or <em>Joker 2 </em>was recently released. While Phoenix reprises the role of Arthur Fleck or Joker from the first film, Gaga joins the movie's cast as Harley Quinn, Joker's partner in crime in DC Comics, and a criminally insane mastermind in her own right. The film also brings back director Todd Phillips and his co-screenwriter Scott Silver. The 2019 original, which served as an alternative origin story of one of pop culture's most well-known villains, was a huge success for Warner Bros. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it the first R-rated film to pass that milestone. It also won two awards for Best Actor (for Phoenix) and Best Original Score (for Hildur Guðnadóttir).&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Cast of&nbsp;<em>Joker 2</em></h2>

<p>Apart from Phoenix, Zazie Beetz also reprises the role of Sophie Dumond from the original film. Dumond, if you remember, was Fleck's neighbour who our mentally ill and delusional hero thought was his girlfriend but it turned out he was imagining their relationship. Gaga plays Quinn, though her portrayal will likely be very different from the character we know from comics and Margot Robbie's performance in DCEU movies.</p>

<p>Also joining the cast are Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey in yet-undisclosed roles.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Plot of&nbsp;<em>Joker 2</em></h2>

<p>We do not know anything yet. We do know the film is a musical. The first film ended ambiguously. The last scene showed Arthur laughing to himself on a joke while in therapy. When the said therapist, different from the one we met earlier in the movie, asks, he said she wouldn't get it. It is hinted that he may have imagined all the events of the movie. Or he did not and ended up in Arkham Asylum after the riots he helped ignite in the third act of the movie. All that said, we don't have the first clue about the sequel. What we want is the Joker and Harley Quinn wreaking havoc in Gotham City and a certain upright police officer who goes by the surname Gordon standing in their way.</p>

<h2>Release date of&nbsp;<em>Joker 2</em></h2>

While Phoenix reprises the role of Arthur Fleck or Joker from the first film, Gaga joins the movie's cast as Harley Quinn, Joker's partner in crime in DC Comics, and a criminally insane mastermind in her own right. The film also brings back director Todd Phillips and his co-screenwriter Scott Silver. The 2019 original, which served as an alternative origin story of one of pop culture's most well-known villains, was a huge success for Warner Bros. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it the first R-rated film to pass that milestone. It also won two awards for Best Actor (for Phoenix) and Best Original Score (for Hildur Guðnadóttir).

<p>American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish has revealed that Lana Del Rey was on the lock screen of her first-ever mobile phone. She made the revelation while in an interview with Del Rey herself for Interview magazine. Eilish, a multiple-Grammy winner, also expressed her admiration for the older singer, crediting her for influencing her own style and music. The interview was requested by Del Rey. Eilish began by thanking the 'Born to Die' singer and expressing her excitement for the opportunity. "You were my lock screen on the first phone I ever got. I'd film myself covering your songs and pretend that I was gonna blow up on YouTube from them, and then they'd get two views," Eilish said.&nbsp;</p>

'You could do no wrong': Billie Eilish reveals her Lana Del Rey obsession

<p>A trailer for <em>Children of the Corn</em> is here. The film was made in 2020 during the global lockdown induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Written and directed by Kurt Wimmer, the film is simultaneously an adaptation of Stephen King's short story of the same name as well as the eleventh instalment in the original<em> Children of the Corn</em> film franchise. The original story was published in 1977 in Penthouse magazine. It was later included in King's 1978 collection <em>Night Shift </em>and was eventually adapted into a popular horror movie franchise. The original story is set in the fictional rural town of Gatlin, Nebraska, where a malevolent cult of children has murdered all of the adults in the town as part of their religious beliefs. It was likely inspired by William Golding's<em> Lord of the Flies.</em></p>

<p>The story explored themes of religious fanaticism, the power of belief, and the dangers of blind obedience. It also contains graphic descriptions of violence, particularly in the cult's ritualistic killings. Its frightening depiction of children turned into killers by their own religious beliefs has resonated with readers for decades and has spawned numerous adaptations in film and television.</p>

<p>The new film appears to tell the origin story of how the town came to be a hellscape populated by downright frightening creatures that were previously children. You can watch the trailer above.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film's official synopsis reads, "Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, twelve-year-old Eden recruits the other children in her small town to rise up and take control. Tired of having to pay the price for their parent's mistakes, Eden leads the kids on a bloody rampage, killing the adults and anyone who opposes her. &nbsp;With all the adults jailed or dead, it comes down to one high schooler who won't go along with the plan and becomes the town's only hope of survival. &nbsp;Based on the short story by Stephen King, <em>CHILDREN OF THE CORN </em>is a chilling new re-telling for a whole new generation."</p>

<p><em>Children of the Corn</em> hits US theatres on March 3.</p>
