Actor Kevin Costner has waved goodbye to his role and the show Yellowstone. The Oscar-winning actor has confirmed that he will not reprise his role as John Dutton in the final episodes of the Emmy-winning show. The heartbreaking news was shared by Costner himself.&nbsp;

Taking to his Instagram handle, Costner shared a video, informing his millions of fans that he will not be returning in the second part of season 5.&nbsp;

<h2>Kevin Costner's Departure From Yellowstone&nbsp;</h2>

In the clip, Costner shared his next focus is on the Western film series Horizon: An American Saga. The actor says,'' I just, want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that that’s required.”

He added, “Thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love. I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue, season five or into the future.”

Saying that Yellowstone “was something that really changed me,” Costner added, “I loved it and I know you loved it, and I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning. I love the relationship we’ve been able to develop, and I’ll see you at the movies.”

Starting from 2018 until 2022, Costner played rancher John Dutton for four and a half seasons in the show. &nbsp;

<h2>John Dutton's&nbsp;Rumoured Feud&nbsp;With Show Creator Taylor Sheridan&nbsp;</h2>

Dutton has previously denied any&nbsp;feud&nbsp;with Sheridan due to the actor's busy schedule. In an interview with Deadline, the actor said, ''I’m so thrilled to be going there. And listen, I don’t want to get down in the gutter with the Yellowstone thing but what I’m telling you is straight up. I have taken a beating from those f*cking guys and I know a lot of times where it’s coming from. I just elected not to get into that. But if you know me well enough, I made Yellowstone the first priority, and to insinuate anything else would be wrong. I did not initiate any of those things. They did. They were doing a tap dance and this poor guy was also having to write so much. And I don’t know why they didn’t stick up for me.''

<h2>Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2</h2>

In January 2023, the first part of Yellowstone season 1 ended on a cliffhanger. Part 2 of the&nbsp;season five&nbsp;will premiere on November 10&nbsp;on the Paramount Network.&nbsp;

Apart from&nbsp;Kevin Costner, the show&nbsp;starred &nbsp;Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Ryan Bingham, Hassie Harrison and series co-creator Taylor Sheridan.

Kevin Costner confirms departure from Yellowstone: 'Not be able to continue...'

It was a glorious moment for Kevin Costner who couldn’t hold back his tears after his film Horizon: An American Saga opened at Cannes Film Festival to a seven-minute standing ovation. The Western epic evoked a reaction in the audiences that Kevin Costner didn’t account for.&nbsp;

Amid huge applause and chants of “Kevin! Kevin! Kevin!”, Costner looked visibly moved. He thanked the audiences at the film festival and promised “three more” installments of the Horizon franchise. The franchise is already due to get a sequel in August.

<h2>Kevin Costner: The director, producer and actor of Horizon moves to tears with Cannes reception of his film</h2>

Holding back his tears, Kevin Costner addressed the audience and said, “I’m sorry you had to clap that long for me to understand that I should speak. Such good people. Such a good moment, not just for me, but for the actors that came with me, for people who believed in me and who continued to work. It’s a funny business, and I’m so glad I found it. There’s no place like here. I’ll never forget this — either will my children.”

The story is told from the perspective of cattle ranchers, farmers and soldiers building a future for themselves as well as the Natives who lived there first.&nbsp;

Why it’s even more special for Kevin is because he has put much of his own money into making this mammoth of a film – $100 million-plus film, including mortgaging his ranch. Kevin Costner directed the film and also starred in it. He has also produced and co-written it.

While the film got a standing ovation there were some not-so-great reactions too as many suggested that the film saw many walkouts with some people not returning as Horizon has a three-hour runtime.&nbsp;

<h2>Star cast and release date:&nbsp;Horizon: An American Saga </h2>

The star cast of Horizon includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Tatanka Means, Owen Crow Shoe, Jamie Campbell Bower and Thomas Haden Church.

The first part of Horizon was showcased at Cannes on May 19. The film will open in the US on June 28. The second chapter of the film will be released in theatres on&nbsp;August&nbsp;16.&nbsp;

Cannes: Horizon director-producer Kevin Costner holds back tears as film gets 7-minute standing ovation

New couple alert? If multiple reports are to be believed, Reese Witherspoon and Kevin Costner are dating after splitting from their respective partners. The two reportedly first started talking over a potential collaboration and then hit it off. 
 
A source told a publication that Kevin had his eyes on Reese for some years now but never acted upon his feelings. "Kevin’s had his eye on Reese ever since she won her Oscar, but he didn’t count on finding her absolutely charming as hell. They’ve been calling and texting on the pretence of finding the perfect script, but it’s becoming almost a daily occurrence,” the source said.&nbsp; 
 
Interestingly, there is an age gap of almost 20 years between Kevin and Reese. Kevin is 68 years old while Reese's age is 47. However, their age difference has not become an issue of compatibility, according to the source. 
 
“No one is surprised that Kevin and Reese have hit it off. They’re extremely compatible,” the source added.&nbsp;The two are also reportedly secretly meeting each other whenever they are in the same city.&nbsp;

“He and Reese are always careful to not be seen together but as soon as his Horizon commitments are done, they may be more relaxed about being seen together in public. It’s still very early days,” said the source.

Kevin is working on a film titled Horizon. The actor started working on the show after quitting the hit TV show Yellowstone.

Kevin has recently split from wife Christine Baumgartner. The former couple separated over irreconcilable differences according to the divorce suit filed by Christine in May earlier this year. The couple's marriage lasted for over 18 years and they share three children together- 15-year-old Cayden and 14-year-old Hayes and a 12-year-old daughter Grace. 
 
On the other hand, Reese has settled her divorce from talent manager Jim Toth in August. She was also earlier married to Ryan Phillippe.&nbsp;

Is Reese Witherspoon dating Kevin Costner? 

The popular television western Yellowstone with Kevin Costner will end this fall and be replaced almost immediately by a sequel. But like any good drama, there’s some mystery involved. The sequel, still untitled, will premiere December on the Paramount cable network, which also televises Yellowstone, Paramount said on Friday. Behind Costner, who plays Montana rancher John Dutton, series creator Taylor Sheridan launched a phenomenon. The opening of its fifth season last November was seen by 12.1 million viewers on the night of its debut, more people than any other scripted series last fall — a remarkable feat for a show not on a broadcast network.

“We’ve been able to create a show that didn’t start out being popular but did it on its own terms,” Costner told The Associated Press last fall.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-review-hilarious-and-heart-wrenching-best-mcu-film-in-years-589362/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

Yellowstone will wrap up with new episodes airing in November; how many was not announced on Friday. Those episodes haven’t been filmed yet, and it’s not clear whether Costner will participate following reports that he may want out of the series.

Paramount would not comment on that Friday, with a spokesperson saying only, “Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come.”

David Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios, which produces Yellowstone with MTV Entertainment, said the new series “will be picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale.” While the series hasn’t been named, the word Yellowstone will be part of the title — an important distinction because that wasn’t the case for spinoffs like 1883&nbsp;or 1923.

Paramount has denied published reports that actor Matthew McConaughey is signed to star in the sequel. But a spokesperson said Friday that McConaughey “is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.”

Following its debut on the cable network, the sequel will also air on the Paramount+ streaming network.

That’s a hugely important distinction for the company. Yellowstone streams on NBC Universal’s Peacock service, owned by Comcast, meaning a big chunk of revenue created by the popular drama has been going elsewhere.

Oscars 2022: Lady Gaga, Zoë Kravitz, Chris Rock among presenters

Focus Features` 'Let Him Go' provided a few sparks at an otherwise lifeless box office, opening over the weekend with an estimated $4.1 million. 
 
In these COVID times, that was good enough for a first place finish. Focus also took second place with the sophomore weekend of its horror film 'Come Play.' Co-produced with Amblin Partners, 'Come Play' netted $1.7 million domestically bringing its total to $5.6 million. 
 
The speciality division of Universal Pictures has been active during coronavirus in part because of a deal that its studio parent company inked with AMC Theatres. The pact enables Universal and Focus to release their movies in on-demand platforms within 17 days of their theatrical debuts. In return, AMC receives a cut of digital revenues. 
 
Of course, the big story of the weekend was not cinemas. It was a presidential election that stretched from Tuesday to Saturday, dominating the news and Americans` attention. 
 
'Let Him Go' stars Kevin Costner as a retired sheriff and Diane Lane as his wife. The couple leave their Montana ranch to rescue their young grandson from the clutches of a dangerous family living in the Dakotas -- a confrontation that ends in violence. Lesley Manville, who scored an Oscar nomination for her work in another Focus release, 2017 'Phantom Thread,' co-stars. 'Let Him Go' was written and directed by Thomas Bezucha, the filmmaker behind 'The Family Stone.' 
 
'War With Grandpa,' a Robert De Niro family comedy from 101 Studios, took third place, grossing $1.5 million to bring its total after three weeks to $13.4 million. Open Road`s 'Honest Thief,' a thriller with Liam Neeson, was fourth with $1.1 million, pushing its haul to $11.2 million. 
 
Christopher Nolan`s 'Tenet' rounded out the top five with $905,000 domestically. That pushed the sci-fi thriller`s stateside haul to $55.1 million. Globally, the movie has grossed $350.8 million. Given that Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, has announced that "Tenet" will launch on home entertainment in December, the movie has largely wrapped up its box office run. Given its $200 million price tag and marketing costs, 'Tenet' will likely fall short of profitability. 
 
Warner Bros. said 'The Witches,' the Robert Zemeckis adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel, generated $3.5 million in overseas box office, bringing its total to $10.1 million. In the U.S., "The Witches" opted to debut on HBO Max instead of screening in theaters. 
Also of note: Disney`s re-release of 'Toy Story,' picked up $505,000 some 25 years after it first opened in theaters and became a family classic. 
 
At this point, exhibitors will take what they can get in terms of ticket sales, but with box office grosses like these, it`s going to be a long, potentially deadly winter for theaters. If 'Wonder Woman 1984' moves from its Christmas release, it`s unclear how theaters will be able to stay open barring some significant government assistance.

Warner Bros. said 'The Witches,' the Robert Zemeckis adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel, generated $3.5 million in overseas box office, bringing its total to $10.1 million. In the U.S., "The Witches" opted to debut on HBO Max instead of screening in theaters. Also of note: Disney`s re-release of 'Toy Story,' picked up $505,000 some 25 years after it first opened in theaters and became a family classic. At this point, exhibitors will take what they can get in terms of ticket sales, but with box office grosses like these, it`s going to be a long, potentially deadly winter for theaters. If 'Wonder Woman 1984' moves from its Christmas release, it`s unclear how theaters will be able to stay open barring some significant government assistance.
