<p>After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/bill-maher-says-donald-trump-hates-china-but-loves-xi-calls-summit-a-lovefest-1778917318680">Bill Maher says Trump ‘hates China but loves Xi,’ calls summit 'lovefest</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day sees Tom Holland reprise his role alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Mando, and Tramell Tillman in pivotal roles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sony Pictures Entertainment India will release Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theatres on 31st July 2026 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam across all premium formats.</p>

Travolta -- who has never won an Oscar -- revived his flagging career with his iconic turn as hitman Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", which won the festival's Palme d'Or top prize in 1994.

Hollywood star John Travolta was given a surprise lifetime achievement award at the Cannes Film Festival Friday as he premiered the first movie he has ever directed. The man who became an icon overnight with "Saturday Night Fever" was visibly moved as he accepted the honorary Palme d'Or before the screening of "Propeller One-Way Night Coach", which is based on a book about his first experience in an airliner. "I just can't believe it. This is beyond the Oscar, really," he said as he accepted the tribute. The festival has been laying on the love for Hollywood legends this year despite the big studios staying away, with honorary Palmes for Barbra Streisand and Peter Jackson as well as a gala screening for Vin Diesel and the stars of "The Fast and the Furious" franchise to mark its 25th anniversary. Travolta -- who has never won an Oscar -- revived his flagging career with his iconic turn as hitman Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", which won the festival's Palme d'Or top prize in 1994. Many critics hailed it as his greatest performance, one that has since gone down in cinema history. "My favourite movies in the history of my life have always been the winners of the Palme d'Or," Travolta said. - Behind the camera - Cannes had kept the award under wraps until the actor walked on stage for the premiere wearing a black suit and a white beret. The 72-year-old said he had been hugely surprised to have his directorial debut, which stars his daughter Ella Bleu as an air hostess, accepted at the world's most prestigious film festival. When Cannes director Thierry Fremaux told him in November that "it would be the first film ever accepted that early I cried like a baby," he said. "I had no expectation my film would be accepted," he added. "Propeller One-Way Night Coach" is a one-hour self-financed autobiographical tale about Travolta's flight as an eight-year-old with his actress mother from New York to Los Angeles in 1962.

During the trial, Mann recalled how he showered her with compliments after the pair met at a party in early 2013, when Mann was an aspiring 27-year-old actor and Weinstein a Hollywood powerbroker.

A US judge declared a mistrial in the trial of disgraced cinema mogul Harvey Weinstein after jurors again failed to reach a verdict on allegations he sexually assaulted actor Jessica Mann, prosecutors said. Weinstein, who was at the center of abuse allegations that spurred the MeToo movement in Hollywood, is already in prison for other sex offenses, so he will remain behind bars despite the end of this case. "While we are disappointed that the proceedings ended with a mistrial, we deeply respect the jury system and sincerely thank all of the jurors for their time and dedication. For nearly a decade, Jessica Mann has fought for justice," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. It was the third time that Mann has taken the stand against Weinstein after a 2020 guilty verdict was overturned due to mishandling of witnesses, and a 2025 case ended in mistrial after a jury-room feud. "I felt like he was a really nice person and he was offering to mentor me," Mann told the jury last month, before painting a picture of an abusive relationship. Weinstein's spokesman Judah Engelmayer told AFP that "after hearing the evidence multiple times and seeing two juries unable to reach unanimity, it's clear there is significant reasonable doubt here." "The Manhattan District Attorney's Office should stop retrying the same case and focus its time and taxpayer resources on the actual violent crime, chaos, and public safety issues impacting New Yorkers every day." He said that polling by the defense revealed that nine of the 12 jurors were in favor of acquittal. AFP could not independently verify his claim. - 'Miracle' - During the trial, Mann recalled how he showered her with compliments after the pair met at a party in early 2013, when Mann was an aspiring 27-year-old actor and Weinstein a Hollywood powerbroker. "He told me that I was prettier than Natalie Portman," she said. She added that Weinstein's apparent interest in boosting her career, including buying her books on acting, initially seemed like a "miracle." The 40-year-old's testimony -- much of which echoed what she said in the 2020 and 2025 cases -- was emotional and she took occasional pauses as her voice broke. Dale Margolin Cecka, director of the Family Violence Litigation Clinic at Albany Law School, told AFP there could now be a fourth trial on Mann's accusations. "Mann would have to go through the entire process again. The district attorney has 30 days to decide whether to re-try (Weinstein)," Cecka said. "(He) knew his team could paint Ms. Mann as a 'romantic partner' and plant doubt," Cecka added, while noting: "These women can still bring civil claims." The Oscar-winning Weinstein, 74, is already serving a 16-year prison term in a California case for the rape of a European actress more than a decade ago. He is appealing that conviction. He is also appealing a conviction on charges that he sexually assaulted movie producer Miriam Haley. In 2017, blockbuster investigations by The New Yorker and The New York Times laid bare a series of claims by young women that triggered an avalanche of allegations from more than 80 complainants and prompted the global MeToo movement.

Try her go-to snack of coconut, ghee and… "Britney was enjoying a quiet dinner with her assistant and bodyguard," the rep continues. “She was simply telling the story about how her dog was barking at the neighbors. At no point did she put anyone in danger with a knife. She was cutting her hamburger in half. This constant attack on everything that she does and this is exactly what happened 20 years ago when the media tried to depict Britney as a bad person. This is ridiculous and it needs to stop now.” What did Britney Spears do at the restaurant? The Toxic singer was all over the headlines after being accused of behaving erratically at a Los Angeles restaurant. She was sitting at a corner table with a man and a woman at Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks on Wednesday night, with sources claiming that Britney was raising her voice, screaming, and even barking at times. At one point, Britney walked around the restaurant carrying a knife, sparking fear that she might accidentally stab someone.

With the war in the Middle East sparking a global fuel crisis, research by environmental group Transport and Environment (T&E) said 750 private jet flights ferried A-listers and Hollywood executives to the world's biggest film festival last year.

Climate activists are urging movie stars to fly economy or take the train to Cannes after saying private jets burned two millions of litres of kerosene getting them to the film festival last year. "The rich and famous burning through scarce fuel to get to a film festival isn't just tone deaf, it's obscene," said former Air France pilot Anthony Viaux, one of several to have signed up to the call. With the war in the Middle East sparking a global fuel crisis, research by environmental group Transport and Environment (T&E) said 750 private jet flights ferried A-listers and Hollywood executives to the world's biggest film festival last year. "That's equivalent to what 14,000 passengers would have consumed flying between Paris and Athens," the group's head of aviation, Jerome du Boucher, told AFP Thursday. Former private jet pilot Katie Thompson said stars should follow the example of "Narcos" actor Pedro Pascal and fly economy class to Cannes. "Last year Pedro Pascal flew to Cannes in an economy seat. There's no reason the rest of them can't do the same, or take the train where possible," she said. De Boucher said they were lobbying European governments to ban private jets. "In a context of climate crisis and oil shock, it seems absolutely obvious that this kerosene should be reserved for more essential uses at a time when we're facing fuel shortages," he said. - Escaping carbon taxes - T&E say that two-thirds of private jets are exempt from carbon taxes under current EU rules, amid fear of reprisals from the Trump administration if the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is expanded to include them. Normal airline passengers within the bloc have to pay the taxes while the super rich escape them, they said. Even some millionaires are calling for change. Investor Julia Davies, co-founder of Patriotic Millionaires UK, said "private jets are a luxury only the very wealthiest few can afford, yet most of these flights are still not subject to fuel or carbon taxes -- taxes the majority of people pay every day as they travel to work." Countries across the world have been hit by fuel rationing as Iran's stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz heads towards it fourth month after the United States and Israel attacked Tehran. More than 500 flights have already been cancelled in France alone, du Boucher added, with up to 20 million passengers likely to be affected by disruption in Germany over the summer holiday period. "This oil crisis is an opportunity to put the question of private jet use on the table," De Boucher said. "The EU needs to close the loopholes to make sure that all private jets and international flights (outside the EU) are subject to carbon taxes in future," said veteran pilot Viaux. "EU policymakers shouldn't let Trump's administration dictate the rule," he said. "This oil crisis is an opportunity to put the question of private jet use on the table," De Boucher said. He said the group's research showed that if everyone taking private jets for the Cannes Film Festival used commercial ones, the festival could go 40 percent of the way towards its CO2 emissions reduction target for 2030. AFP have asked the Cannes Film Festival for comment.
