<p>Kristin Chenoweth has said that she regrets not taking legal action against network CBS for sustaining severe injuries while filming the political drama series 'The Good Wife' in 2012. She appeared as a political reporter called Peggy Byrne in the show for two episodes. Her role was meant to be a recurring one but had to leave soon after joining due to injuries incurred on the show's set like a skull fracture, broken nose, spinal and rib injuries, and cracked teeth. As per Entertainment Weekly, she was struck by a piece of lighting equipment in Brooklyn after filming. After her injuries, she announced that she will not be returning to the show.</p>

<p>James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3' will wrap up the franchise, so get ready to bid goodbye to many of your favourite characters. The director has always succeeded in blending humour and emotion in the 'Guardians' movies but the concluding movie may be the hardest to watch. Not because it will be bad or anything. But this could be the end of the road for one or more of your favourite characters. Gunn made that clear while speaking to Empire magazine. "Some of them are not coming back," he said (quoted by Slash Film). The filmmaker has also said that this is the last time MCU fans will see this iteration of the Guardians.</p>

<p>Scottish acting legend and 'Succession' star Brian Cox has lent his support to author JK Rowling in the 'transphobia' controversy. The scribe of the 'Harry Potter' fantasy series has been mired in transphobia allegations after she made statements on her blog and Twitter handle that many deemed offensive to members of the trans community. Cox, who plays the role of Logan Roy in 'Succession', said during an appearance on BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg that he takes exception to how Rowling has been treated. “I don’t like the way she’s been treated, actually. I think she’s entitled to her opinion; she’s entitled to say what she feels."</p>

<p>He added, "As a woman, she’s very much entitled to say what she feels about her own body, and there’s nobody better to say that, as a woman. So, I do feel that people have been a bit high and mighty about their own attitude towards J.K. Rowling, quite frankly.”</p>

<p>Even after trenchant criticism, Rowling, however, refused to back down from her opinions. She has also denied the anti-trans accusations and said that a few positions taken by the trans community infringe upon the rights of biological women.</p>

<p>She earned the ire of the trans community and activists in 2020 when on Twitter she argued that gender identity contravenes biological sex. She said, "If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.

<p>It appears China has lifted its undeclared ban on Marvel superhero movies as 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' have both secured release dates, as per The Hollywood Reporter. It has been three and a half years since any Marvel movie was released by Disney in the country, and since the country has often been a huge market, this should come as good news for the House of Mouse. While 'Wakanda Forever; will be released on February 7, 'Quantumania' will hit Chinese theatres on February 17, which is the same day on which the film will release in most of the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Wion's review of 'Black Panther Wakanda Forever' was mixed. A part of the review read, "For the most part, 'Wakanda Forever' is watchable. Mostly, despite its run time that proves punishing in the end, it is okayish fun and carries a decent enough pace that you do not really care about its flaws. Shuri's arc is easily the best part of the film. Her story is saturated in the central themes of the film — grief and healing. Wright, who has landed herself in controversy over her anti-vaccination views, is more than up to the task. She is, in fact, superlative here, only slightly eclipsed by Basset, who absolutely steals the show in a relatively minor role."</p>

<p>'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' serves as the introduction of Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Majors played a gentler, alt-universe version of the character called He Who Remains in the finale of 'Loki' season 1. But this is the first time we will be witness to the Big Bad who will also face the Avengers in 'Avengers: Kang Dynasty', the fifth film in the 'Avengers' franchise. In 'Quantumania', Kang pretends to get Ant-Man or Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) his lost time back. If you don't remember, Scott was stuck in the Quantum Realm for five years duration when Thanos had killed off half the universe.</p>

<p>The series is an adult, violent spin on the typically child-friendly franchise. And fans have perhaps not appreciated that.</p>

<p>On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the series has a score of a mere 55 per cent. The critical consensus reads, "Jinkies! This radical reworking of the beloved Mystery Team has plenty of attitude and style, but it doesn't have the first clue for how to turn its clever subversion into engaging fun."</p>

This original and humorous spin unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers."</p>

And fans have perhaps not appreciated that. On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the series has a score of a mere 55 per cent. The critical consensus reads, "Jinkies! This radical reworking of the beloved Mystery Team has plenty of attitude and style, but it doesn't have the first clue for how to turn its clever subversion into engaging fun." But the audience score is just 6 per cent. The official synopsis of 'Velma' reads, "VELMA is an adult animated comedy series telling the origin story of Velma Dinkley, the unsung and under appreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang. This original and humorous spin unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers." Velma premiered on January 12 on HBO Max in the US.

<p>It has been more than a month since the release of James Cameron's science-fiction epic 'Avatar: The Way of Water', but the film is going as strong as a new release. Such is the lure of Pandora, the fictional extrasolar, inhabitable moon that serves as the primary setting of the franchise, and Cameron's filmmaking. Until now, the film has grossed $1.903 billion. It is on the verge of surpassing 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', which had grossed $1.906 billion. After beating the Sony-Marvel movie, 'The Way of Water' will also become the highest-grossing movie in the post-pandemic world. A recent Screenrant report predicted that the film may end up with more than $2.5 billion in box office receipts by the time it exits cinemas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The original 'Avatar' had grossed (including re-releases) $2.92 billion and remains the biggest movie ever at the worldwide box office. 'Avatar: The Way Of Water' was made on an estimated budget of $350–460 million, and thus had to earn big, but it has surprised even the most optimistic analysts.</p>

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' brings back Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) a paraplegic marine who sided with the Na’vi in the conflict against humans in the original and became one of the tall, lithe, and blue-hued natives himself. He and his native wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) have children now: three of theirs and two adopted. The stakes are higher than ever before.</p>

<p>Wion's review of the film read, "Basically, I have the same complaints with ‘The Way of Water’ that I had with the original ‘Avatar’. No one in their right mind would take exception to his vision, but beneath all that eye candy, the film has a painfully conventional story involving conventional characters told in a traditional Cameron way. The director has never been an impressive deviser of complex, gripping plots and characters beyond the surface level. He does have the uncanny ability to build exciting narratives around action set pieces, and 'The Way of Water' is no exception. 'The Way of Water' is, in effect, a typical Cameron movie with all its glories and downfalls.'</p>

<p>Popular Colombian pop star <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/shakira-gerard-pique-to-split-after-12-years-of-relationship-a-history-of-their-love-story-484455">Shakira's</a></strong> diss track about her former partner and footballer Gerard Piqué cheating on her has proved to be a humongous hit. As per the BBC, the song has garnered 63 million times in 24 hours, and has thus made a record for the most-watched Latin song. The song has clearly proved to be extremely popular. This is because, unlike most diss songs, this one is not subtle. Its lines go at one point, "You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo / you traded a Rolex for a Casio." And elsewhere, "No hard feelings, baby, I wish you the best with my supposed replacement / I don't even know what happened to you / You're so weird that I can't even tell you apart / I'm worth two 22's."</p>

<p>In September 2022, Shakira opened up about the split with Gerard. While speaking to Elle Magazine, she rued the constant presence of the paparazzi watching her every move. She said, "It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye and because our separation is not like a regular separation. And so it’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids.''</p>
