<p>Priscilla Presley, the ex-wife of late music legend Elvis Presley, has filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court disputing her recently-deceased daughter Lisa Marie Presley's will. As per The Hollywood Reporter, she takes exception to a particular 2016 amendment to the will and its "authenticity and validity". The said amendment replaced Priscilla and a former business manager Barry Siegel as co-trustees with Lisa's daughter and actress Riley Keough and son Benjamin Keough (now deceased). Lisa, who was the only child of Elvis, died on January 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest. Medics administered CPR upon reaching her and she was rushed to the hospital. But she did not survive and breathed her last at the age of 54.&nbsp;</p>

Elvis Presley's wife Priscilla disputes late daughter Lisa Marie's will, challenges legality of 2016 amendment

<p>Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Pathaan </em>has been in theatres for only a few days and analysts are already predicting that it will&nbsp;end up as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever. Until now, the film's domestic (Indian) haul stands at an impressive Rs 295 crore. The Siddharth Anand directorial is part of the YRF Spy Universe, which also includes Salman Khan-led Tiger films (like <em>Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, </em>and the upcoming threequel) as well as Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's <em>War</em>. The burgeoning cinematic universe is modelled after the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will presumably lead to one big crossover movie like the <em>Avengers </em>movies in MCU.</p>

<p>So Pathaan 2 is confirmed? Most likely. Shah Rukh said while speaking to ANI, “This is a big day for us, my family. We haven’t experienced this happiness in a while. Whenever he (Siddharth Anand) wants me to do Pathaan 2, I’ll do it. If they want to make a sequel, it’ll be my honour to do it,” said Shah Rukh Khan.</p>

<p>Also starring Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana, the film has SRK playing the titular Pathaan who is tasked to save the country from the evil designs of rogue soldier Jim (Abraham). In the mix is Deepika's pretty ISI agent Rubina.</p>

<p>WION's film critic Shomini Sen gave the film a positive review. She wrote, "Does 'Pathaan' work despite the flaws? Yes, because of Shah Rukh Khan and the image he has so carefully cultivated over all these years. His character is an orphan who has been raised in an orphanage and never had a religion to follow. He was named Pathaan by a family in Afghanistan which saved him during a covert operation. 'Pathaan' the film does not diss any religion but only the bad guys and makes SRK the superhero who places his country above all religious fanatism.

Pathaan 2 confirmed? Shah Rukh Khan teases Spy Universe sequel

<p>The wait is over. DC Studios and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have teased fans for weeks with&nbsp;the announcement of a slate of films that will build a new cinematic universe (and reboot the old one). Now, we know for certain that a huge reveal of future films from the company is forthcoming on Tuesday (January 31). For a decade now, DC has struggled to compete against chief rival Marvel Studios in this age of interconnected films and cinematic universe. Now, with Gunn and Safran at helm (both have a near-perfect record with the genre as filmmaker and producer, respectively), things are finally looking bright for the franchise.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As you get ready for the next (hopefully better) era of the DC universe, here's what to know about how we got here.</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>Why does the DC universe lag behind Marvel?</h2>

<p>While the Marvel Cinematic Universe started with 2008's summer release of Jon Favreau's Iron Man, the DCEU's beginning came half a decade later in 2013 with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, and it has only played catchup since then. Starring Robert Downey Jr in the role, Iron Man was a runaway hit. The superhero was not well-known, and frankly neither were the Avengers that came later for the general audiences (who were not comic book readers). But Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige at the helm, had trust in themselves and the cast (even Robert Downey Jr, who was pretty much persona non grata back then due to his substance abuse issues and run-ins with the law) and crew that paid off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The challenge in front of 'Iron Man' was also 'The Dark Knight', Christopher Nolan's grownup-oriented The Dark Knight&nbsp;was more of a crime thriller than a full-fledged superhero pic. But the Dark Knight trilogy, featuring Christian Bale in the role, was its own self-contained universe. And it was not until 'Man of Steel' that DC really looked into building a cinematic universe.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/five-great-superhero-movies-that-are-not-dc-or-marvel-510918/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Starring Henry Cavill in the role of Superman, the film was a standalone film that was supposed to eventually lead to the formation of the Justice League. But the film was poorly received, and Snyder's gloomier Superman was rejected by fans. The film was a decent commercial success and received mixed critical reviews. The next two releases -- Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad -- were even more heavily panned by critics and disappointed at the box office as well, the former especially when it had the main three DC superheroes.</p>

<p>Since then, there have been individual successes at DC but it has moved away from interconnected storytelling due to poor box office performances.</p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions-blogs/why-james-gunn-leading-dc-studios-is-a-great-news-for-fans-528511">Why James Gunn leading DC Studios is a great news for fans</a></strong></p>

<h2>What to expect from the DC Studios announcement?</h2>

<p>We know Gunn is already writing a Superman movie (sadly, Henry Cavill will not reprise the role). So, Gunn and Safran are likely building a new Justice League. This means solo movies for all the superhero members of the team, including new versions of Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. Of course, this is speculation and the team may be smaller or bigger in the beginning. We also know Gunn and the team will introduce cool supervillains to rival Thanos. The obvious option is Darkseid but he is too big for the first Justice League movie.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But how will Gunn's DCU differentiate itself from the earlier Snyder-led DCEU? Knowing Gunn's penchant for little-known characters in DC and Marvel Comics, we will probably get to see iconic characters rubbing shoulders with characters only the most dedicated DC fans will know. Now, DC Universe can highlight its diverse roster of characters and their unique perspectives to appeal to a wider audience and create a more inclusive representation on screen.</p>

<p>Until something goes terribly wrong and there is again strong studio interference that Snyder faced, we are certain Gunn and company are going to build a compelling DC film universe.</p>

<p>Outside films, TV shows, comics, and video games, as well, DC Universe can create a strong sense of community by engaging with fans, hosting events, and creating merchandise to build a dedicated and passionate fan base.</p>

James Gunn to launch new DC Universe movie slate to counter Marvel today: Here's what to expect

<p><em>Pathaan</em>, the Indian action thriller starring Shah Rukh Khan, is all the rage in the country these days. And even on a Monday (its first), the film continued to perform strongly with collections reaching Rs 25 crore ($3 million), as per Box Office India. Now, the film's total collection in the domestic market stands at Rs 295 crore or $35 million (net). Surprising even the most optimistic analysts, the film fully capitalised on the five-day extended opening weekend to score a total haul of Rs 270 crore. As it turns out, SRK's stardom is very much alive despite what the naysayers said. The fact that the film also had Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the cast only added to the film's appeal.</p>

<p>In terms of worldwide collections, the film recently crossed the Rs 500 mark in gross earnings. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "‘PATHAAN’ CROSSES ₹ 500 CR MARK: ₹ 542 CR WORLDWIDE *GROSS* IN 5 DAYS… #Pathaan WORLDWIDE [#India + #Overseas] *Gross* BOC… *5 days*…<br />

<p><em>Pathaan </em>makers&nbsp;also targetted audiences in the southern part of the country by releasing Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions.</p>

<p>The film, which is SRK's first film since 2018's debacle that was <em>Zero</em>, is directed by Siddharth Anand and scripted by Shridhar Raghavan and features dialogues from Abbas Tyrewala.

Pathaan box office collection: Shah Rukh Khan film remains strong even on a Monday, nears Rs 300 crore

<p>Netflix's latest new show<em> Lockwood &amp; Co</em>, which combines detective, horror, and adventure genres, will probably not reach the heights of Stranger Things or Wednesday. But for those looking for an alternative, it fits the bill. Based on Jonathan Stroud's book series of the same name (the English author is also behind the <em>Bartimaeus Sequence</em>, which I hope also gets adapted one day), the series follows three teenage ghost-hunters who run the titular agency to help an alternate London's citizens get rid of malign ghosts. Developed by Joe Cornish, the series has received an almost universally positive reception from critics. Here are some of the reviews.</p>

<p>Empire Magazine's Boyd Hilton wrote, "None of this impressive world-building, character development, and storytelling would work, though, if it wasn’t for the consistently intelligent, wryly funny dialogue."</p>

<p>AV Club's Jenna Scherer wrote, "Lockwood is an appealing blend of noir-tinged detective tale, horror, and lowkey teen drama with just the right amount of witty banter."</p>

<p>London Evening Standard's Vicky Jessop wrote, "Does Lockwood &amp; Co break any new ground? As with Stranger Things, no. But it weaves all its constituent parts into an entertaining narrative that raises just the right amount of hair on the back of the neck. A spooky delight."</p>

Empire Magazine's Boyd Hilton wrote, "None of this impressive world-building, character development, and storytelling would work, though, if it wasn’t for the consistently intelligent, wryly funny dialogue." AV Club's Jenna Scherer wrote, "Lockwood is an appealing blend of noir-tinged detective tale, horror, and lowkey teen drama with just the right amount of witty banter." London Evening Standard's Vicky Jessop wrote, "Does Lockwood & Co break any new ground? As with Stranger Things, no. But it weaves all its constituent parts into an entertaining narrative that raises just the right amount of hair on the back of the neck. A spooky delight." Daily Telegraph's Ed Power wrote, "Driven in particular by Stokes’s gutsy performance, it has a zinging underdog charm." Ready Steady Cut's Jonathon Wilson wrote, "There’s an awareness from the very first scene of this eight-episode series that it’s a slight cut above its contemporaries."

Raveena Tandon to lead mysterious new Disney+ Hotstar series. Details here

<p>Tobey Maguire returned to play the role of Peter Parker or Spider-Man in the MCU superhero movie Spider-Man: No way Home. The film, led by Tom Holland's version of Spidey, explored the multiverse, and at one point the veil between the universes became thin. The film was a great success for Sony and Marvel Studios. In the movie companion book Spider-Man No Way Home: The Official Movie Special, Maguire revealed whether he will return to play the role of wall-crawler again. He said, "I love these films and I love all of the different series. If these guys called me and said, ‘would you show up tonight to hang out and goof around?’ or ‘would you show up to do this movie or read a scene or do a Spider-Man thing?’, it would be a ‘yes!’ Because why wouldn’t I want to do that?”</p>

<p>After the events of 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' in which Spidey's identity, Peter Parker, was leaked to the world by Jake Gyllenhaal's Quentin Beck or Mysterio, who also accused him of murdering him. Due to the ensuing chaos in his life, Peter sought the help of Master of Mystic Arts Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to undo the damage. Strange performed a spell but it went wrong, and beings from other universes (supervillains who fought Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men as well as the Spideys themselves) crossed over to MCU.</p>

<p>Despite the $250 million Amazon Prime spent to get rights to the material, turns out<em> The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power did</em> not end up being the biggest original for the streamer in 2022. It is the dark and violent superhero comedy-drama series <em>The Boys</em> that emerged as the biggest show for the streamer. As per Nielsen ratings, <em>The Boys</em>, which got its third season in 2022, was the most watched Amazon original show with 10.6 billion minutes viewed. In comparison <em>Rings of Power</em> was watched for 9.4 billion minutes. In the overall list, <em>Stranger Things t</em>opped the list with an incredible 52 billion minutes viewed.</p>

<p>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 JRR Tolkien’s <em>The Hobbit</em> and <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>, and takes 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 one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>WION's review of Rings of Power read, "'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' gets the basics right when it comes to a Middle-earth adaptation. Even in the screeners I was provided with, with all the annoying watermarks, 'The Rings of Power' looked absolutely lush. Ironically, it is so good that even in its episodic form, it looks more suited to be viewed in cinemas than on TV. There are shots of imposing edifices and grand statues that tower over the mountains. There are also familiar vistas showcasing landscapes, hills, valleys, rivers, and faithful recreations of locations like Lindon -- every single frame looks stunning. The visual aspect of Middle-earth is an important aspect and the creators certainly recognised that. The aesthetic is nicely redolent of 'LotR' trilogy and also feels like its own thing."</p>

The Boys beats Rings of Power to become Amazon's most-watched 2022 show

<p>Amazon Studios is reportedly building a whole new cinematic universe around the<em> Tomb Raider</em> video game franchise, as per The Hollywood Reporter. To that end, a film, a TV series scripted by <em>Fleabag </em>creator and actor Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and even a game are in development. Everything will be set in the same world akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and several other similar cinematic universes that are now prevalent in Hollywood (and now even Bollywood). The game was announced back in December. Due to the success of Disney's MCU, several studios have attempted something similar with their own intellectual properties with mostly mixed results.</p>

The games feature elements of action, adventure, puzzle-solving, and so on. The games have been adapted to live-action movies thrice. In 2001's <em>Lara Croft: Tomb Raider </em>and 2003's<em> Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life</em>, Angelina Jolie essayed the main role.&nbsp;</p>

Amazon to develop cinematic universe around Tomb Raider: All you need to know

<p>After it shattered several box office records in just two days of its theatrical journey, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer action thriller Pathaan continued to maintain momentum on the third day as well. Ever since the film's ticket went on sale, there were reports of huge sales, and that in turn promised a huge box office opening for SRK's return to the movies after a hiatus of four years. And the makers are fully capitalising on the five-day extended Republic Day weekend to give a strong start. The film is expected to have long legs too. As per Box Office India, the film grossed around Rs 35 to 36 crore on Friday. Its three-day haul is expected to hover around Rs 158 to 156 crore.</p>

<p>Pathaan is directed by Siddharth Anand and written by Shridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala. The story has been written by Anand, who has earlier helmed similar masala blockbusters like War and Bang Bang. Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana also star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>WION's film critic Shomini Sen gave the film a positive review. She wrote, "Does 'Pathaan' work despite the flaws? Yes, because of Shah Rukh Khan and the image he has so carefully cultivated over all these years. His character is an orphan who has been raised in an orphanage who never had a religion to follow. He was named Pathaan by a family in Afghanistan which saved him during a covert operation. 'Pathaan' the film does diss any religion but only the bad guys and makes SRK the superhero who places his country above all religious fanatism. Pretty much similar to how Khan has projected himself all these years."</p>

<p>The recent months have not been kind to Jay Leno. The former talk show host and comedian has revealed that he is recuperating from a motorcycle accident on January 17. It came not long after he suffered burns in a garage fire in November last year.&nbsp;In an interview he gave to Las Vegas Review-Journal, he said he broke several bones in his body in the accident. He was asked by the publication how he is doing after he was hospitalised for severe (second and third-degree) burns. He responded, “It’s so funny you should say that. That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that he was testing a vintage 1940 Indian motorcycle and smelled a fuel leak. In his words, he “turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it. So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike."</p>

<p>The 72-year-old comedian is best known for hosting <em>The Tonight Show</em> on NBC from 1992 to 2009 and again from 2010 to 2014. He has also appeared in several films and television shows and continues to tour as a stand-up comedian.</p>

The recent months have not been kind to Jay Leno. The former talk show host and comedian has revealed that he is recuperating from a motorcycle accident on January 17. It came not long after he suffered burns in a garage fire in November last year. In an interview he gave to Las Vegas Review-Journal, he said he broke several bones in his body in the accident. He was asked by the publication how he is doing after he was hospitalised for severe (second and third-degree) burns. He responded, “It’s so funny you should say that. That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.” He added that he was testing a vintage 1940 Indian motorcycle and smelled a fuel leak. In his words, he “turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it. So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike." The 72-year-old comedian is best known for hosting The Tonight Show on NBC from 1992 to 2009 and again from 2010 to 2014. He has also appeared in several films and television shows and continues to tour as a stand-up comedian. He is currently the host of the television show Jay Leno's Garage.

Jay Leno recovering from motorcycle accident, suffers several broken bones

<p>Despite the various controversies that preceded its release, Indian film star Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller Pathaan has proven to be a box office juggernaut, and on the first day itself. The film has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark ($12.26 million) worldwide. This is particularly remarkable as the film was released on a weekday and it has a long five-day weekend to cash in on. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand, who has earlier directed blockbuster action films like 'Bang Bang!' and 'War'. He also wrote the story on which the screenplay, penned by Shridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala, is based. Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana also star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Riding on highly positive reviews and hype, the film has managed to take the box office by storm. This is billed as SRK's comeback movie after 2018's Zero. Zero notably was a bomb at the box office, and also a miss with critics. Thus, there was a lot riding on Pathaan.</p>

<p>WION's film critic Shomini Sen gave the film a positive review. She wrote, "Does 'Pathaan' work despite the flaws? Yes, because of Shah Rukh Khan and the image he has so carefully cultivated over all these years. His character is an orphan who has been raised in an orphanage who never had a religion to follow. He was named Pathaan by a family in Afghanistan which saved him during a covert operation. 'Pathaan' the film does not diss any religion but only the bad guys and makes SRK the superhero who places his country above all religious fanatism. Pretty much similar to how Khan has projected himself all these years."</p>
