<p>'Fast &amp; the Furious'&nbsp;franchise may be coming to an end after its 11th movie, but that doesn't mean the story needs to stop there.</p>

<p>During a press conference for the next installment, 'Fast 9,'&nbsp;the cast and director were asked if there could ever be a 'Fast and Furious'&nbsp;and 'Jurassic World'&nbsp;crossover movie since they're both Universal Pictures properties.</p>

<p>"I never say never to anything," "F9" director Justin Lin told press and fans, according to Collider. "Part of our philosophy is not to ever be boxed in or labelled. That's all I will say."</p>

<p>Franchise star Michelle Rodriguez - who plays Dom's ride or die, Letty - said she doesn't see why the "Fast" crew wouldn't dabble with dinos.</p>

<p>"I'm all in!" Rodriguez said. "Once you reach a certain pinnacle, there's nowhere to go, but to cross-brand and merge."</p>

<p>"It's what big corporations do with each other when they get too big," Rodriguez continued. "You just have to brand and merge with each other. The only thing standing in the way is lawyers and studios."</p>

<p>Rodriguez said it should be easier because the brands are owned by the same company.</p>

<p>The newest film in the saga, 'F9,'&nbsp;will have Dom go head-to-head with a long lost brother, Jakob (John Cena). The ninth film in the franchise is also bringing back Han (Sung Kang) and a lot of the 'Tokyo Drift'&nbsp;cast, including Bow Wow.</p>

<p>'F9'&nbsp;will be in theatres on June 25, 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Courteney Cox is just like her 'Friends' iconic character Monica Geller in her real life too.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sharing the similarities between her and&nbsp;Monica, Cox took up an Instagram video challenge. In the video, the actor can be seen saying, "Tell me you're a Monica without telling me you’re a Monica'' and later she shows off her organised kitchen featuring organised cutlery cabinet, named jars, just like Monica was, and at last, she remarked her famous dialogue, 'I know.' &nbsp;</p>

'Friends' character Monica is known for her cleanliness, competitiveness and obsessive-compulsive nature. “Am I the only one?” She captioned the video. Cox appeared as Monica in all of the show's 236 episodes, from its premiere in 1994 to its finale in 2004.</p>

Another 'Game of Thrones' star in talks to join Jason Momoa in 'Aquaman 2'

<p>The holy union between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men franchise might just be happening sooner than fans&nbsp;anticipated.<br />
<br />
With only two episodes remaining in 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier',&nbsp;MCU Phase 4 is off to a great start with another solid show tying the past and the future together with hints from the mutant world.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Both WandaVision and Falcon showed us what Marvel can do in this particular format. Disney+ allows the studio to tell richer stories and focus on characters who haven’t been thoroughly explored in the movies or some crossovers that could never happen in the past.</p>

<p>A few new Marvel leak has claimed that Wolverine, the mutant fans have been dying to see with the Avengers (now that Disney owns the rights to the X-Men), will appear in several upcoming movies and TV shows.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/beat-covid-blues-with-these-binge-watch-recommendations-377717" hreflang="en">Beat COVID blues with these binge-watch recommendations</a></p>

<p>According to That Hashtag Show, a Wolverine anthology series is in early development for Disney+. The report notes that Marvel has yet to cast the leading superhero, and the studio also hasn’t yet chosen a director or showrunner.</p>

<p>The report says Marvel is toying with the idea of exploring the many sides of this popular character. The anthology series would play out similarly to American Horror Story, where it all resets after each season. According to sources, Marvel and Kevin Feige are confident that an anthology series can explore Wolverine’s history without affecting the character’s role in X-Men films.<br />
<br />
<a data-ved="2ahUKEwjii6aMhYLwAhX-4zgGHQNnBpMQFjADegQIBBAD" href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-is-marvel-studios-planning-an-x-men-film-titled-the-mutants-368273" ping="/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-is-marvel-studios-planning-an-x-men-film-titled-the-mutants-368273&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjii6aMhYLwAhX-4zgGHQNnBpMQFjADegQIBBAD">Is Marvel Studios planning an X-Men film titled The Mutants?</a></p>

<p>Initially, Marvel is said to be looking to adapt the Weapon X story arc for the first season of its new show. This would be the hero’s origin story and it would play out in the MCU, so hooks to other MCU properties would be expected.<br />
<br />
GeekosityMag&nbsp;points out another poignant detail that might result in the famed mutant actually making it to the MCU.&nbsp;Reportedly, Marvel is working on a Patch film featuring Wolverine. This would connect Wolverine with Madripoor, the famous X-Men location that was featured for the first time in the MCU thanks to 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'.<br />
<br />
The report says that the Patch version of Wolverine could be explored in a second Wolverine movie, while the first film could have the mutant face-off with Hulk. Marvel of course maps out the MCU’s course several years in advance, long before announcing any new titles.</p>

<p>Marvel is reportedly going for a “rollicking pirate movie” for the film and will push the envelope of PG-13 violence in Madripoor. This new Wolverine apparently won’t have the same dark tone as Logan, the last movie where we saw Wolverine in action. But Marvel will reportedly keep the character “fresh” in the MCU. Wolverine is getting a new beginning, and Marvel will explore other places and movie genres with the character.</p>

<p><br />
In a separate report,&nbsp; Hugh Jackman, who confirmed a few years ago that he’s done with the character now wants to see what Marvel intends to do with the character before calling it quits. Jackman doesn’t want the new Wolverine movies to ruin the Fox character’s arc, where the mutant died at the end.</p>

<p>The actor reportedly met with Marvel, expressing his concerns about reviving his Wolverine after the hero died. Kevin Feige apparently reassured him that whatever Wolverine he’d play for the MCU, it wouldn’t be the character who died in Logan. Instead, Jackman would play a Logan from the multiverse with a different story and continuity. If this conversation sounds familiar, that’s because we’ve heard similar rumblings about bringing dead Avengers back to the MCU.</p>

<p>The report notes that two Marvel properties are being considered for Jackman’s Wolverine. One is Secret Wars. The other is a second Deadpool film for the MCU, which would be Deadpool 4. Marvel doesn’t want its first Deadpool movie to introduce two characters, Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine. But the mutant could appear in a sequel seeing as Deadpool will be jumping around the multiverse.</p>

<p>While, none of the Marvel rumours can ever be confirmed, considering the vastness of the Universe and ever-changing deals of Disney. One thing is for sure, the creators and makers are seriously looking into bringing mutants into the Universe of superheroes before they introduce the big villain of this phase.&nbsp;</p>

The holy union between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men franchise might just be happening sooner than fans anticipated. With only two episodes remaining in 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier', MCU Phase 4 is off to a great start with another solid show tying the past and the future together with hints from the mutant world. Both WandaVision and Falcon showed us what Marvel can do in this particular format. Disney+ allows the studio to tell richer stories and focus on characters who haven’t been thoroughly explored in the movies or some crossovers that could never happen in the past. A few new Marvel leak has claimed that Wolverine, the mutant fans have been dying to see with the Avengers (now that Disney owns the rights to the X-Men), will appear in several upcoming movies and TV shows. Beat COVID blues with these binge-watch recommendations According to That Hashtag Show, a Wolverine anthology series is in early development for Disney+. The report notes that Marvel has yet to cast the leading superhero, and the studio also hasn’t yet chosen a director or showrunner. The report says Marvel is toying with the idea of exploring the many sides of this popular character. The anthology series would play out similarly to American Horror Story, where it all resets after each season. According to sources, Marvel and Kevin Feige are confident that an anthology series can explore Wolverine’s history without affecting the character’s role in X-Men films. Is Marvel Studios planning an X-Men film titled The Mutants? Initially, Marvel is said to be looking to adapt the Weapon X story arc for the first season of its new show. This would be the hero’s origin story and it would play out in the MCU, so hooks to other MCU properties would be expected. GeekosityMag points out another poignant detail that might result in the famed mutant actually making it to the MCU. Reportedly, Marvel is working on a Patch film featuring Wolverine. This would connect Wolverine with Madripoor, the famous X-Men location that was featured for the first time in the MCU thanks to 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'. The report says that the Patch version of Wolverine could be explored in a second Wolverine movie, while the first film could have the mutant face-off with Hulk. Marvel of course maps out the MCU’s course several years in advance, long before announcing any new titles. Marvel is reportedly going for a “rollicking pirate movie” for the film and will push the envelope of PG-13 violence in Madripoor. This new Wolverine apparently won’t have the same dark tone as Logan, the last movie where we saw Wolverine in action. But Marvel will reportedly keep the character “fresh” in the MCU. Wolverine is getting a new beginning, and Marvel will explore other places and movie genres with the character. In a separate report, Hugh Jackman, who confirmed a few years ago that he’s done with the character now wants to see what Marvel intends to do with the character before calling it quits. Jackman doesn’t want the new Wolverine movies to ruin the Fox character’s arc, where the mutant died at the end. The actor reportedly met with Marvel, expressing his concerns about reviving his Wolverine after the hero died. Kevin Feige apparently reassured him that whatever Wolverine he’d play for the MCU, it wouldn’t be the character who died in Logan. Instead, Jackman would play a Logan from the multiverse with a different story and continuity. If this conversation sounds familiar, that’s because we’ve heard similar rumblings about bringing dead Avengers back to the MCU. The report notes that two Marvel properties are being considered for Jackman’s Wolverine. One is Secret Wars. The other is a second Deadpool film for the MCU, which would be Deadpool 4. Marvel doesn’t want its first Deadpool movie to introduce two characters, Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine. But the mutant could appear in a sequel seeing as Deadpool will be jumping around the multiverse. While, none of the Marvel rumours can ever be confirmed, considering the vastness of the Universe and ever-changing deals of Disney. One thing is for sure, the creators and makers are seriously looking into bringing mutants into the Universe of superheroes before they introduce the big villain of this phase.

Is Marvel Cinematic Universe introducing this X-Men character in future projects?

<p>'The Simpson' voice actor Hank Azaria feels he owes an apology for participating in “structural racism,” via his longtime portrayal of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.</p>

<p>On a podcast chat with&nbsp;Dax Shephard and Monica Padman, Azaria said that he wished he’d committed to exiting the Apu role many years before he actually did. “I’ve had a date with destiny with this thing for about 31 years,” he said. “Part of me feels like I need to go around to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize, and sometimes I do when it comes up.”<br />
<br />
While the Emmy winner continues to voice other parts on&nbsp;the Fox comedy, including Moe Szyslak, and gave voice to Apu from his first appearance on the show in 1990, he announced in February of last year that he would no longer be playing the role. The decision emerged as part of a broad cultural shift in animation, as the industry came to the belief that characters of colour should not be voiced by white actors, with other 'Simpsons'&nbsp;roles also being recast.</p>

<p>Azaria took a moment to apologise specifically to podcast host Padman. “I know you weren’t asking for that, but it’s important,” he said. “I apologise for my part in creating that and participating in that.”</p>

<p>Azaria also called for other animated series to make changes when it comes to representation amongst their voice casts. “If it’s an Indian character or a Latinx character or a Black character, please let’s have that person voice the character,” he said. “It’s more authentic, they’ll bring their experience to it, and let’s not take jobs away from people who don’t have enough.”</p>

<p>It was in 1988 that Azaria was asked if he could do an Indian accent, leading to his portrayal of Apu and the actor modelled his performance off of Peter Seller’s turn in 1968 comedy, The Party, which has also been criticised for its use of racial stereotypes, along with Sellers’ use of “brownface.”<br />
<br />
The actor first saw that movie at age 15. “When I saw that, there was no difference between how funny Peter Sellers is as a French guy [in The Pink Panther], or a German guy in Dr. Strangelove, or as Hrundi V. Bakshi in The Party. It’s just funny,” he recalled thinking. “I’m an aspiring voice guy, and I can do the accent, so there’s no difference to me either.</p>

<p>“What I’m not realising, of course,” he added, “is that I can feel that way as a white guy because I’m not living with the consequences of those things at all.”</p>

<p>At one point in his career, Azaria noted, he would have responded to this anger with anger of his own. However, thanks to his experiences with Alcoholic Anonymous, he knew that he needed “to shut up,” listen and learn, in the aftermath of criticism. “If I had not gotten sober, I promise you, it wouldn’t have taken much wine for me to be in my feelings one night, and fire off a Tweet that I felt justified in firing off,” he admitted. “Boy, was I glad I had a system in place, where I could look at this thing.”</p>

<p>From the actor’s perspective, Apu was a character created with good intentions. “We tried to do a funny, thoughtful character,” he said. “[But] just because there were good intentions doesn’t mean there weren’t real negative consequences that I am accountable for.”</p>

<p>Chaitra Navratri, which is a nine-day festival, beginning on the first day of the Hindu Luni-Solar calendar, started today. This year, the festival commenced on April 13, 2021, and will end on April 22, 2021.The festival, which falls during the spring season every year, is considered auspicious among various communities in the country. Navratris always begin with the ritual of Ghatasthapana or Kalash Sthapana.<br />
<br />
Devotees of the Goddess Supreme Durga, observe a fast for nine consecutive days and pray for health, forgiveness, and prosperity. The first day of Chaitra Navratri falls during the `Shukla Paksha` of the moon i.e., the full moon phase. The rituals performed during the nine days in order to praise Goddess Durga, vary each day.<br />
<br />
It also marks the birthday of Lord Rama, which usually falls on the ninth day during the Navratri festivity, hence it is also known as Rama Navratri. However, amid the second wave of COVID-19, we all must stay inside and maintain social distancing. With the state governments issuing various guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs) in each region, it is expected that one of the most-awaited festivals of the season will be celebrated once again in a low-key manner.<br />
<br />
Staying inside homes during one of the major festivals can be gloomy for some people. But what the previous year has taught us is that it doesn`t mean one can`t beat the blues and celebrate the festivities amid the pandemic. With the right company of friends and family, be it physical or virtual, or observing the week-long fast, your Navratri can be as good as the old times, while keeping all health protocols in mind to contain the spread of the deadly virus. Here are some tips to do so:<br />
<br />
1. Learn about the festival by reading mythology and history books<br />
<br />
While it`s common knowledge that according to scriptures and mythology books, the ninth day marks Lord Rama`s birthday, but what is unknown by many is that how did it come to be celebrated on the ninth day of Chaitra month, during the waxing moon phase. You can use this isolated time to go on a little research mission and find out how this festival emerged. Ranging from academic journals to mythological accounts, you can find a vast variety of materials to unravel the story behind Lord Rama`s proverbial birth.<br />
<br />
2. Celebrate a virtual Ram Navami with friends and family<br />
<br />
Visiting temples with families and friends amid the raging second wave of COVID-19 can prove to be a terrible idea. Thus, keeping distance from people is very much vital given the current situation in the country. But, thanks to social media, most things can be done virtually.You can easily download any video recitation of Ram Katha and then use the Lord`s picture as an idol to mark the incarnation on Earth. It gets even better because you can also ask family members or friends to join you on a video call using any of the apps like Zoom or Google Meet. This will transform your isolation into a community experience like any other year.<br />
<br />
3. Recite holy scriptures at home to maintain social distancing during this auspicious festival<br />
<br />
Verses are recited by devotees from holy scriptures like Ramayana and Shrimad Bhagavatam. This can easily be done from the comfort of your one`s home while practising social distancing. Even though usually people visit temples to do so, but due to the second wave of COVID, you can recite verses on your balconies or terraces, which might even make you feel reconnected with nature and help you find that inner peace. After all, it`s in nature the God truly resides.<br />
<br />
4. Observe fast with films or listen to bhajans<br />
<br />
Irrespective of whether you`re observing a strict fast (nirjala upvas) or a mild one, a day-long binge of Lord Rama`s tales will surely keep you occupied and enchanted. You can keep yourself occupied the entire day with films and short documentaries on Lord Rama and his conquests, that are easily available on various OTT platforms. In some parts of the country, devotees also organise bhajans and kirtans for the entire nine-day period of Navratra. But since attending those during the COVID-19 outbreak is unsafe, you can use Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn, or Apple Music to get into that Ram Navami groove.<br />
<br />
5. Help the poor<br />
<br />
As the saying goes, sharing is caring, and during the time of festivities, we should share our blessings with those who are not as fortunate as us. Nothing can beat the happiness and satisfaction that you will get by helping someone who is in need. There are many people around, who are struggling to make ends meet due to the COVID pandemic. Help such people to celebrate Navratri, by donating food, clothes, or essential supplies to them. For Kanya puja, which falls on the last day, you can even opt to feed them by donating money to an NGO that is helping the poor or volunteer to teach online.<br />
<br />
For ages, Navratri has always been the festival of togetherness and larger-than-life celebrations. However, keeping in mind the ongoing pandemic and the government restrictions in place, we need to rethink the way we celebrate it for our own safety and the safety of others.A very happy Chaitra Navratri 2021!
