<p>American actor Robert Pattinson, who is set to play Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves` upcoming directorial `The Batman`, opened up about trying the iconic batsuit for the first time.<br />
<br />
Pattinson, who flew to Los Angeles for the final audition, described his experience of trying on the batsuit as "transformative" and "powerful," reported Variety."You do feel very powerful immediately," he said."And it`s pretty astonishing, something that is incredibly difficult to get into, so the ritual of getting into it is pretty humiliating. You`ve got five people trying to shove you into something," he added.<br />
<br />
The `Twilight` actor went on to say that the batsuit made him feel "strong and tough.""Once you`ve got it on, it`s like, `Yeah, I feel strong, I feel tough, even though I had to have someone squeezing my butt cheeks into the legs`," he said.<br />
<br />
In fact, the `Breaking Dawn` star revealed that he has been a fan of the `Dark Knight` for years. "When I was a kid, it was the only outfit that I had," he told Variety.So, when he heard that Reeves was working on a new script, he asked for a meeting.<br />
<br />
After a bit of "prodding," the filmmaker finally agreed. Pattinson then headed to the Cannes Film Festival and by the time he arrived, several outlets had reported that he`d already landed the role.However, there was just one problem - the actor hadn`t even auditioned yet.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As a result, he was terrified he would lose the part and started searching the internet for any signs that he had been cut. "When that thing leaked, I was f--ing furious. Everyone was so upset. Everyone was panicking from my team.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I sort of thought that had blown up the whole thing," Pattinson recalled.But all went well for the actor, who finally flew to Los Angeles for the final audition and got to try on the iconic batsuit and landed the gig.<br />
<br />
While the role is certainly different from the Edward Cullen character he played in `The Twilight` film series and won a million hearts with his portrayal as a vampire, it wasn`t the first time he had been considered for a superhero role.<br />
<br />
The star had taken an informational meeting with Marvel around the time of `Guardians of the Galaxy`, however, nothing came of it."I don`t know what I would really be chasing. The idea of trying that transition after `Twilight,` I never saw a road in that direction," Pattinson said.<br />
The actor has certainly had a busy year. Before landing the role of Batman, he had starred in the film `The Lighthouse`. He`s also set to feature in `Tenet`, which is set to premiere in 2020. `The Batman` is slated to hit the theatres in 2021.</p>

IPL 2019: Delhi storm into playoffs after defeating Bangalore by 16 runs

<p>Shikhar Dhawan found form with a 63-ball 97 and powered Delhi to a seven-wicket win over Kolkata in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl-2019">Indian Premier League</a> on Friday, leaving two legends at the visiting dugout beaming.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chasing 179, Colin Ingram launched one down the ground to finish the game in style and deny Dhawan what would have been his maiden hundred in this format.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dhawan survived a review on 11, decorated his knock with 11 boundaries and two sixes, as Delhi registered only their second IPL win at the Eden Gardens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Delhi climbed to fourth spot with eight points from seven matches, while this was Kolkata's second straight defeat after losing to Chennai in their last match. They now have eight points from seven games.</p>

<p>Rishabh Pant (46 off 31 balls) played a perfect second fiddle to Dhawan, curbing his rash shots and showed immense maturity in a 105-run partnership from 69 balls, which virtually killed the contest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pant, however, fell short of his half-century as he failed to clear the rope against Nitish Rana.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Going through a lean patch since his sedate 47-ball 51 against Chennai on March 26, Dhawan was seen going through an extensive drill under Ganguly, who gave him useful tips.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prithvi Shaw (14) gave Delhi an explosive start, hammering two sixes off New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson, but he could not make it big while skipper Shreyas Iyer departed inside the powerplay.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There was a mountain to climb with 122 required from 14.2 overs when Pant joined Dhawan in the middle. But the duo got the job done with consummate ease.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier, Andre Russell blazed away to a 21-ball 45 after Shubman Gill's brisk half-century, powering Kolkata to a challenging total.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This was Russell's sixth successive 40-plus score, his four sixes and three boundaries coming after youngster Gill stroked 65 off 39 balls, helping the hosts recover from Ishant Sharma's wicket-maiden first over.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Jamaican, who was cleaned up by Kagiso Rabada with a toe-crushing yorker in their Super Over defeat in the first leg, also exacted a sweet revenge smashing the South African for two sixes in an over that yielded 16 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chris Morris removed Russell in the penultimate over when he was caught in the deep by Rabada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sent into bat, from batting at No. 6 in their last match against Chennai, Gill was promoted to open the innings and the 19-year-old responded with a fine knock, his second IPL fifty, and first this season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gill smashed seven fours and two sixes, both against spinner Axar Patel, and along with Robin Uthappa (28), added 63 runs after a horror start.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ishant knocked out the off-stump of Joe Denly with a fantastic inswinger, the Englishman lasting just one ball on his IPL debut.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Delhi could not have asked for a better start with Ishant starting the proceedings with a wicket-maiden.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is what sisterhood stands for. As Marvel released its first female superhero film 'Captain Marvel' on 8th March, the film was instantly compared to DC's 'Wonder Woman' which also had a female superhero. But while the world has been comparing the two films, Gal Gadot who plays Wonder Woman has praised Brie Larson's performance.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Over the weekend <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/brie-larsons-captain-marvel-crosses-500-million-at-the-worldwide-box-office-202994">'Captain Marvel' made the biggest worldwide box office debut </a>for a female-led film, surpassing 2017`s Gal Gadot`s 'Wonder Woman'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While the Marvel film managed to break the record of DC’s ‘Wonder Woman’ and it seems like for the ladies, this is much more than the competition. It is about celebrating women empowerment. &nbsp;Taking to her Instagram story, Gadot posted an animated image of herself standing alongside Brie Larson character, arm in arm, and wrote, “I`m so happy for you sister! Congrats.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shortly after the film was released on March 8, it managed to come up as the second largest opening for a comic book movie behind 2018`s `Avengers: Infinity War`.&nbsp;</p>


This is what sisterhood stands for. As Marvel released its first female superhero film 'Captain Marvel' on 8th March, the film was instantly compared to DC's 'Wonder Woman' which also had a female superhero.

This is what sisterhood stands for. As Marvel released its first female superhero film 'Captain Marvel' on 8th March, the film was instantly compared to DC's 'Wonder Woman' which also had a female superhero. But while the world has been comparing the two films, Gal Gadot who plays Wonder Woman has praised Brie Larson's performance. Over the weekend 'Captain Marvel' made the biggest worldwide box office debut for a female-led film, surpassing 2017`s Gal Gadot`s 'Wonder Woman'. While the Marvel film managed to break the record of DC’s ‘Wonder Woman’ and it seems like for the ladies, this is much more than the competition. It is about celebrating women empowerment. Taking to her Instagram story, Gadot posted an animated image of herself standing alongside Brie Larson character, arm in arm, and wrote, “I`m so happy for you sister! Congrats.” View this post on Instagram um hi so gal gadot wonder woman herself posted my art on her ig stories to support brie larson’s captain marvel. i can’t put into words how incredible happy i am not only for it being my art but for them supporting each other. i make this kind of art to bring women together and show how important female leads are for us. thank you😭 ALSO GAL AND BRIE I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH i’m just a 17 year old fan girl i can’t help myself thank you for coming to my ted talk A post shared by maxy artwork (@maxyartwork) on Mar 11, 2019 at 12:57pm PDT × Shortly after the film was released on March 8, it managed to come up as the second largest opening for a comic book movie behind 2018`s `Avengers: Infinity War`.

‘Wonder Woman’ Gal Gadot is all praise for ‘Captain Marvel’ Brie Larson

<p>It’s a good year for ‘Aquaman’ as the superhero flick now becomes the highest-grossing DC film ever. The Jason Momoa starrer dethroned Christopher Nolan’s 2012 hit film ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aquaman-review-jason-mamoa-redeems-an-average-film-with-his-inherent-coolness-184048">Read </a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aquaman-review-jason-mamoa-redeems-an-average-film-with-his-inherent-coolness-184048">film's</a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aquaman-review-jason-mamoa-redeems-an-average-film-with-his-inherent-coolness-184048"> review here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>‘Aquaman’ has earned $1.090 billion usurping ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ that recorded $1.084 billion, according to figures revealed by Box Office Mojo.</p>

<p>The film released in India on December 14. It released earlier in the international markets, before North America -- where it came out on December 21. Thus, the film got a massive push overseas before it earned on US domestic box office.&nbsp;It was said that the film grossed $500 million worldwide in December, all thanks to<a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aquaman-crosses-500-million-worldwide-all-thanks-to-the-moms-who-liked-watching-hunky-jason-momoa-186999"> Jason Momoa's female fan following.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>The film saw Atlantean/human superhero Arthur Curry or Aquaman who is caught in the conflict between the undersea world of Atlantis and the surface world. Aquaman’s half-brother King Orm (Patrick Wilson) wants to go to war against the humans for polluting the oceans for centuries.</p>

<p>Arthur teams up with his allies like Amber Heard’s Mera and they together go on a quest to retrieve the Trident of Atlan, the legendary king of Atlantis, to defeat Orm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Aquaman’ also stars Willem Dafoe, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman.</p>

'Aquaman' is now the highest-grossing DC film ever

<p>‘Aquaman’ makers have found the key to attract their audience to the film -- leading with the hunky actor Jason Momoa. With a massive female fan following for the actor, the film is now a hit on many fronts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to an American Media Measurement and Analytics company, Comscore, mothers turned out in far greater numbers than fathers, 56 per cent to 44 per cent. They enjoyed the aquatic superhero film more 91 per cent to 85 per cent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After Wonder Woman, this is the first DC film that has been a hit with the audience. The film has grossed $105.7 million over the five-day holiday (including previews) taking the total to more than $500 million internationally.</p>

<p>What worked in their favour was the theme of women empowerment that ran pretty strong in the plotline. Similar to Gal Gadot in ‘Wonder Woman’, Jason Momoa delivered a passionate acting display in the film, by creating social media events.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Warner Bros. started a social media trend #MOMSFORMOMOA which was in response to the makers noticing a viral meme that grew among moms online -- wanting to take their kids –or anyone’s kids– to Aquaman as an excuse to see Momoa. As part of the stunt, mommy bloggers attended an advance screening with a surprise appearance by Momoa.</p>

<p>New reports suggest that the film will eventually reach north of $900 million and probably hit $1 billion’ by the end of its run. That’s between Rs 6300 crore and Rs 7000 crore.</p>
