<p>Expressing his love for `Avenger` star Robert Downey Jr, Vin Diesel penned a heartfelt tribute to the actor, referring to him as "Bobby" in his post on Instagram.</p>

<p>The `Fast and Furious` actor posted a long message saying that Downey provided him with the inspiration to take `Fast 9` to "new heights".</p>

<p>"My brother Bobby... let me tell you about this amazing individual. He has a way of giving everyone he comes in contact with so much inspiration. You see it in the roles he plays. Like me, he has never won an Oscar, but that means zero when it comes to how he has affected the world. His very existence represents the power of resilience. The love you have for him pales in comparison to the love I have for his spirit."</p>

<p>"On the weekend of the highest grossing movie of all times, he in the most humble way says, your next brother. Fast 9 is going to take the industry to new heights! His belief in me sometimes scares me. I never want to let anyone down. So I will do everything in my power to make sure FAST 9 is everything! I love you RDJ and your brotherhood is truly a gift of which I am eternally grateful for," he wrote.</p>

Vin Diesel pens down a heartfelt post for 'Avenger' co-star Robert Downey Jr

<p>For fans across the world, it's a special day as Marvel brings to us 'Avengers: Endgame' - the grand finale of 22 films that MCU has presented in the past decade.</p>

<p>Most fans across the world were left stunned by the way 'Infinity War' had ended - in the most shocking way as half of the superheroes combusted to dust. In 'Endgame' it is up to the surviving superheroes to get back their colleagues and end Thanos' rule once and for all.</p>

<p>'Endgame' wastes no time and picks up from where 'Infinity War' ended. The first half has got a lot of reunions planned and the Russo brothers literally connect all 22 past films in the most beautiful way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tony Stark and Nebula are stuck in space as the film opens and the rest of the survivors- Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Rocket are grappling on Earth with the loss of their near and dear ones- and well, half of the population of the earth. It is only when new members- Ant-Man and Captain Marvel arrive at the Avengers headquarters does the action begin. Five years since Thanos destroyed the universe with a single snap, the heroes come together to go back in time to save the future.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A lot, of course, has changed over a period of five years. Families have grown for some, while for the rest, the failure has not gone down well. While a few of them are convinced to get back what was lost, there are others who are unsure of their own and other's capabilities. So it is not just a battle against time but within themselves to believe in the impossible and fight back for their loved ones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first half of the film takes a long time to establish, which is natural- considering the film is the final act in MCU and has to take into account 22 previous films and their relevant characters from it. The narrative is non-linear, where the superheroes travel back and forth in time to get things right.&nbsp;Even though the pace may appear slow in the first hour, the real action closer to climax totally makes up for all the emotional scenes.</p>

<p>Expect the unexpected- at least in the beginning. The film eventually runs a predictable course and there are plenty of scenes and dialogues that are tailor-made to get loud cheers in the theatres but 'Endgame' still lives up to all the hype. It moves you, it makes you emotional about your favourite superheroes, makes you root for them and takes you down the memory lane for a fitting finale that gives a perfect ending to a glorious era.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Divulging more about the plot would give out major spoilers but let's just say with 'Avengers: Endgame', Marvel along with the Russo Brothers organises the greatest reunion that the world has ever seen on the big screen.&nbsp;</p>

The first half of the film takes a long time to establish, which is natural- considering the film is the final act in MCU and has to take into account 22 previous films and their relevant characters from it. The narrative is non-linear, where the superheroes travel back and forth in time to get things right. Even though the pace may appear slow in the first hour, the real action closer to climax totally makes up for all the emotional scenes. Expect the unexpected- at least in the beginning. The film eventually runs a predictable course and there are plenty of scenes and dialogues that are tailor-made to get loud cheers in the theatres but 'Endgame' still lives up to all the hype. It moves you, it makes you emotional about your favourite superheroes, makes you root for them and takes you down the memory lane for a fitting finale that gives a perfect ending to a glorious era. Divulging more about the plot would give out major spoilers but let's just say with 'Avengers: Endgame', Marvel along with the Russo Brothers organises the greatest reunion that the world has ever seen on the big screen.

'Avengers: Endgame' review : The greatest reunion of superheroes ever

<p>It just seemed right to honour Robert Downey Jr the Male Movie Star award at People's Choice Awards. Downey Jr, earlier this year, bid farewell to his beloved character Iron Man in the fitting finale of the Avengers series.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Fans across the world mourned along with superheroes the inevitable end of Iron-Man the character.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Sunday, as the 54-year-old actor, who played Iron Man AKA Tony Stark in the Marvel franchise, kept his acceptance speech short but made sure to honour several important figures.<br />
<br />
While delivering his speech, the actor thanked Disney, Marvel and the American directors Russo brothers who cast him in Marvel movies.<br />
<br />
He also thanked American comic book writer, Stanley Martin Lieber, the man behind the Marvel Comics saying, "the late great Stan Lee, this is for you, buddy."<br />
<br />
Downey Jr. also honoured Kevin Hart, who won The Comedy Act of 2019. This was Hart`s first official public appearance since his near-fatal car crash in September.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The tagline, reads, 'He's just not a people person,'&nbsp;which rightly sets the tone for the film's subject. Earlier today, Universal Pictures renamed the film previously titled 'The Voyage Of Doctor Dolittle'&nbsp;to simply 'Dolittle', reported a news&nbsp;agency.<br />
<br />
In March 2018, Downey Jr. had announced the voice cast of the film which included the likes of John Cena, Tom Holland, Selena Gomez, Kumail Nanjiani, Rami Malek, Emma Thompson, Craig Robinson, Ralph Fiennes, Marion Cotillard, Frances De La Tour, Carmen Ejogo and Octavia Spencer.<br />
<br />
The film is billed as a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals.&nbsp;After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), the veterinarian of Queen Victoria's England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.<br />
<br />
But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle (Downey) is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.<br />
<br />
The doctor is joined on his epic quest by a young, self-appointed trainee (Dunkirk's Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar-winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar-winner Emma Thompson), who is Dolittle's most trusted adviser.<br />
<br />
The film also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen (The Queen) and Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent, and features additional voice performances from Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson.<br />
<br />
Directed by Academy Award-winner Stephen Gaghan, 'Dolittle'&nbsp;is produced by Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Susan Downey. The film is executive produced by Downey Jr, Sarah Bradshaw, and Zachary Roth. The flick will hit the theatres on January 17, 2020.&nbsp;</p>

Earlier today, Universal Pictures renamed the film previously titled 'The Voyage Of Doctor Dolittle' to simply 'Dolittle', reported a news agency. In March 2018, Downey Jr. had announced the voice cast of the film which included the likes of John Cena, Tom Holland, Selena Gomez, Kumail Nanjiani, Rami Malek, Emma Thompson, Craig Robinson, Ralph Fiennes, Marion Cotillard, Frances De La Tour, Carmen Ejogo and Octavia Spencer. The film is billed as a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals. After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), the veterinarian of Queen Victoria's England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle (Downey) is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures. The doctor is joined on his epic quest by a young, self-appointed trainee (Dunkirk's Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar-winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar-winner Emma Thompson), who is Dolittle's most trusted adviser. The film also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen (The Queen) and Oscar-winner Jim Broadbent, and features additional voice performances from Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson. Directed by Academy Award-winner Stephen Gaghan, 'Dolittle' is produced by Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Susan Downey. The film is executive produced by Downey Jr, Sarah Bradshaw, and Zachary Roth. The flick will hit the theatres on January 17, 2020.

Robert Downey Jr shares first poster of 'Dolittle' ahead of trailer release

<p>Robert Downey Jr aka Iron Man has something to say on filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s remark on Avengers films not being cinema.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Martin Scorsese commented that he doesn’t see these movies as cinema as he said, "I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks."</p>

<p>Shaken from this, Robert Downey Jr who played Iron Man in MCU said, “According to Scorsese, it’s not cinema. I gotta take a look at that,” and added, “I mean, it plays in theatres. I appreciate his opinion. I think it’s like anything where we need all of the different perspectives so we can come to the center and move on."</p>

<p>The actor isn’t the only one to respond on Martin Scorsese’s statement as Samuel L Jackson too hit back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Robert Downey got talking about the issue as he taped for ‘The Howard Stern Show live’ in Los Angeles. The actor also learned on the show that the director’s feelings and a few others’ resonated within the industry because of which RDJ was not nominated for his role as Tony Stark in so many films. To this, he responded, "I`m so glad you brought this up because there was some talk about it, and I said `let`s not` and because I`m much more like you than you might really want to believe.”</p>

<p>He further told Stern, "I listen to the show and I agree with most all of your opinions, varied though they may be. Occasionally, you’ll go on some tributary trail of thought [and] I`ll go like, `Oh that`s not how I see it, but I love that you see it that way.’ I`ll tell you the truth. I didn't expect [the Marvel Cinematic Universe] to become what it became, and it is this very large, multi-headed Hydra at this point.”</p>

Good news for all 'Marvel fans' as Robert Downey Jr could return as 'Iron Man'

<p>Akshay Kumar is the only Indian actor to feature in Forbes annual list of best-paid actors. &nbsp;Kumar takes the fourth position in the list as he raked in $65 million in the past one year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kumar, whose latest film, 'Mission Mangal' is doing great business at the box office has been delivering blockbusters this past year with almost all his films earning Rs 100 crores and more at the box office.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The list, though, is lead by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson who has reclaimed his position as the world's highest-paid actor, according to the rich list otherwise dominated by the cast of Marvel's record-breaking 'Avengers' films.<br />
<br />
Former professional wrestler Johnson raked in $89.4 million over 12 months, rising back to the number-one spot he last held in 2016. He placed second in both of the last two years.<br />
<br />
The prolific actor, 47, scored a major hit with family-friendly reboot 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' -- a sequel is on the way -- and has starred in multiple 'Fast and Furious' films including this month's 'Hobbs &amp; Shaw.'<br />
<br />
"He has just become the go-to bankable star," said Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "And he's always working -- he's relentless."<br />
<br />
Using his A-list clout to secure lucrative profit-sharing movie deals on top of eight-figure fees, Johnson also appears on HBO television show 'Ballers,' hosts NBC game show 'Titan Games' and has his own lucrative line of fitness clothing, among other endorsements.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"He's a multi-platform, cross-promoted brand unto himself like no other," added Dergarabedian.<br />
<br />
Chris Hemsworth took second place with $76.4 million -- one of several actors from Marvel's superhero universe to appear in the top 10.<br />
<br />
The list covers the period June 2018 to June 2019, during which Marvel Studios released 'Avengers: Endgame,' the highest-grossing film of all time.<br />
<br />
Hemsworth, who plays fan-favourite Thor, is followed by Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man) in third, Bradley Cooper (Rocket) in sixth, Chris Evans (Captain America) in eighth and Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) in ninth.<br />
<br />
However, most of Cooper's $57 million payday came from producing, directing and starring alongside Lady Gaga in musical drama 'A Star is Born,' Forbes said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kumar,&nbsp;in fact,&nbsp;is a perennial fixtures on the list along with Jackie Chan, Will Smith, Adam Sandler.<br />
<br />
But last year's number one George Clooney dropped out of the top 10, having banked his $1 billion deal for his tequila company the previous year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Here's the top 10 list:&nbsp;<br />
<br />
1. Dwayne Johnson ($89.4 million)<br />
2. Chris Hemsworth ($76.4 million)<br />
3. Robert Downey Jr. ($66 million)<br />
4. Akshay Kumar ($65 million)<br />

<p>Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr, who shot to immense success and fame with his character Tony Stark, gets candid about his life after the release of the highly appreciated film 'Avengers: Endgame'.<br />
<br />
"I have not been forced to explore the new frontier of what is my creative and personal life after this. It's always good to get ahead of where you are about to be.&nbsp;It's always in the transitions between one phase and the next phase that people fall apart", he said.<br />
<br />
The actor has several projects coming up this year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Next&nbsp;January, Downey will be seen in&nbsp;'The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle', a potential franchise starter that underwent extensive reshoots earlier this year.&nbsp;He also has <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/sherlock-holmes-3-gets-a-new-director-robert-downey-jr-and-jude-law-to-reprise-roles-235374">'Sherlock Holmes 3'&nbsp;</a>due in December 2021.<br />
<br />
Downey also discussed how he is now in uncharted waters following the success of the MCU film.<br />
<br />
"There's always a dependency on something that feels like a sure thing. It's the closest I will ever come to being a trust fund kid," Downey said of his time with Disney's Marvel Studios.<br />
<br />
At some part of the time during his Marvel run, it might have appeared to his fans and viewers that his public persona has a resemblance to his character Tony Stark.<br />
<br />
"Initially, by creating and associating and synergising with Tony Stark and the Marvel Universe ... and being a good company man, but also being a little off kilter, being creative and getting into all these other partnerships, it was a time when ... what do they say?

"I am not my work. I am not what I did with that studio. I am not that period of time that I spent playing this character," said Downey.<br />

Robert Downey Jr has got a rather cheeky birthday wish for Chris Evans

<p>From the looks of it, the photo seems to have been taken while the team was still shooting for 'Avengers: Endgame'. The lunch had Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Pots), Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Dana Gurira(Okoye), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis) and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlett Witch)in attendance. From the photos, it looks like the happy bunch had a great time lunching with Tony Stark but one can't help but wonder where is Scarlett Johansson who plays Black Widow in the film- one of the original six Avengers. The photo could have been taken while filming the climax scene- which did not feature Johansson as her character Black Widow had already died by then in the film.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karen Gillan had earlier mentioned to an entertainment website that how Downey Jr was known to organize lunches for cast members while filming 'Avengers' series. &nbsp;“When you are shooting a film like this, there is a lot of time between setups because they do the huge laying of the set and the props. Everyone has a lot of time to hang out and get to know each other. Robert is the one who hosts the lunch for everyone, that’s really nice. We all get to interact with each other a lot.”</p>

<p>Fans may recall that during the big battle scene, Marvel celebrated its girl power by choreographing an action sequence involving all its women together who help Captain Marvel to take the infinity stones to Ant-Man in the middle of the battleground. &nbsp;The scene was greeted with applause and cheers in almost every cinema hall.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The scene also gave rise to a theory- which so far remains only a theory- that it may give cinematic rise to the A-Force.&nbsp;The A-Force was introduced as part of Marvel Comics' 'Secret Wars' crossover event in 2015 where multiple parallel Marvel universes collapsed into each other and were destroyed, and from the ashes, Doctor Doom created Battleworld, where most of the heroes from both universes battle with each other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Battleworld was divided into 41 “domains,” one of which was called Arcadia which was led by all-female defenders commonly known as A-Force. Some of the members of A-Force are characters who have already appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Whether Marvel enchashes on this powerful scene and subsequently create movies around the 'A-Force' is something we will have to wait and watch.&nbsp;</p>


Now that 'Avengers: Endgame' has released, Marvel's future lies in the hands of women. So it was fitting to have Iron Man aka Robert Downey Jr, the man who heralded a new era for MCU 10 years back, host a lunch for the women of Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Karen Gillan had earlier mentioned to an entertainment website that how Downey Jr was known to organize lunches for cast members while filming 'Avengers' series. “When you are shooting a film like this, there is a lot of time between setups because they do the huge laying of the set and the props. Everyone has a lot of time to hang out and get to know each other. Robert is the one who hosts the lunch for everyone, that’s really nice. We all get to interact with each other a lot.” Fans may recall that during the big battle scene, Marvel celebrated its girl power by choreographing an action sequence involving all its women together who help Captain Marvel to take the infinity stones to Ant-Man in the middle of the battleground. The scene was greeted with applause and cheers in almost every cinema hall. The scene also gave rise to a theory- which so far remains only a theory- that it may give cinematic rise to the A-Force. The A-Force was introduced as part of Marvel Comics' 'Secret Wars' crossover event in 2015 where multiple parallel Marvel universes collapsed into each other and were destroyed, and from the ashes, Doctor Doom created Battleworld, where most of the heroes from both universes battle with each other. Battleworld was divided into 41 “domains,” one of which was called Arcadia which was led by all-female defenders commonly known as A-Force. Some of the members of A-Force are characters who have already appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whether Marvel enchashes on this powerful scene and subsequently create movies around the 'A-Force' is something we will have to wait and watch.

Robert Downey Jr hosts a special lunch for the women of Marvel but where is Scarlett Johansson?

Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Natalie Portman, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Brie Larson and Gwyneth Paltrow were just a few of the Hollywood actors who have appeared in the 22 prior films and will likely appear in the final instalment.

"Well, I have no memory of it so it must have been pretty good. I got to tell you honestly, we made both 'Infinity War' and 'Endgame', we basically shot them back to back and it was the time that most of the Avengers and Guardians and everyone was spending the most time together.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"This 'Endgame' really represents the culmination of probably the time in our lives that we have been the closest," he said.&nbsp;<br />

Robert Downey Jr to Indian fans: You guys are just amazing, I am coming to India soon

<p>Rami Malek's Oscar-winning performance in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is the toast of Hollywood at present. The 'Mr Robot' star was already popular but his role as late singer Freddy Mercury has just increased his fan base manifold including 'Iron Man' Robert Downy Jr.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Downey Jr recently posted a heartwarming video on Instagram which shows him praising the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' actor. The video was captioned as "@ramimalek Who loves you babe? This guy right here..."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the video, Downey Jr can be seen saying, "I say, unequivocally, Rami Malek is the front of the bloodline of his acting generation, I think he has witnessed it here tonight and from an endomorphic loner of 'Mr Robot' to the complete showman that he displayed here. I am just telling you dude and you already know it, you are good.”</p>

<p>The two actors have known each other for a long time. &nbsp;Downey Jr had even made a surprise visit on Malek's 'Mr Robot' sets a few years back.&nbsp;<br />
Later, recounting the visit, Malek in an interview had told Downey Jr, "You turned me into a hero when you came to set. I’m not kidding. They were like, ‘You know him?’ ‘How do you know him?’ I knew it was very cool to know you, but the world started paying me more attention on that day on set.

Rami Malek's Oscar-winning performance in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is the toast of Hollywood at present. The 'Mr Robot' star was already popular but his role as late singer Freddy Mercury has just increased his fan base manifold including 'Iron Man' Robert Downy Jr. Downey Jr recently posted a heartwarming video on Instagram which shows him praising the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' actor. The video was captioned as "@ramimalek Who loves you babe? This guy right here..." In the video, Downey Jr can be seen saying, "I say, unequivocally, Rami Malek is the front of the bloodline of his acting generation, I think he has witnessed it here tonight and from an endomorphic loner of 'Mr Robot' to the complete showman that he displayed here. I am just telling you dude and you already know it, you are good.” View this post on Instagram @ramimalek Who loves you babe ? This guy right here ... #congratulations #freddiemercury #queen #oscars #2019 (🎥 @jimmy_rich ) A post shared by Robert Downey Jr. (@robertdowneyjr) on Feb 25, 2019 at 12:10pm PST × The two actors have known each other for a long time. Downey Jr had even made a surprise visit on Malek's 'Mr Robot' sets a few years back. Later, recounting the visit, Malek in an interview had told Downey Jr, "You turned me into a hero when you came to set. I’m not kidding. They were like, ‘You know him?’ ‘How do you know him?’ I knew it was very cool to know you, but the world started paying me more attention on that day on set. I just told them how close we were and that we hang out, we celebrate holidays together, we watch movies together, all of which is true!” Malek won Best Actor Oscar and Golden Globe for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in the biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

Robert Downey Jr is all praises for Rami Malek as he wins Oscar, shares an emotional video

<p>Gwyneth Paltrow has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since the first Iron Man film in 2008 came out. Paltrow, who plays Pepper Pots, Tony Stark's love interest-cum-assistant has been mart of Avengers films as well. But looks like Paltrow is all set to bid goodbye to MCU.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview to Variety, Paltrow revealed that 'Avengers: Endgame' would be her last Marvel film. " “I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point. I feel very lucky that I did it because I actually got talked into it. I was friends with Jon Favreau (Iron Man director). It was such a wonderful experience making the first 'Iron Man' and then to watch how important it has become to fans.”</p>

<p>“I feel honoured to be a part of something that people are so passionate about.” The actress though mentioned that she would come back whenever Marvel needed her, “Of course, if they said, ‘Can you come back for a day?’ I will always be there if they need me.”</p>

<p>In the first trailer of 'Avengers: Endgame', Tony Stark can be seen sending a message to Potts as he is stuck in space after Thanos' snap.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier in September, Paltrow shared a photo with Robert Downey Jr which presumably was from the sets of 'Avengers: Endgame' putting rest to speculations on whether she is part of the film or not.&nbsp;</p>

'There will never be another Stan Lee'; tributes pour in for the legend behind Marvel

<p>It’s finally the month of November and Marvel fans here are already losing their head over when the makers will reveal at least something official. From the official name of the film to teaser, trailer and whatever the makers are likely to reveal, to just do it already. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/in-pics-avengers-4-cast-chris-evans-scarlett-johansson-spotted-shooting-for-film-165285">See BTS pics from </a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/in-pics-avengers-4-cast-chris-evans-scarlett-johansson-spotted-shooting-for-film-165285">shoot</a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/in-pics-avengers-4-cast-chris-evans-scarlett-johansson-spotted-shooting-for-film-165285">.&nbsp;</a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
In an update to the film, it seems likely that Netflix’s ‘13 Reasons Why’ breakout star Katherine Langford will join ‘Avengers 4’, possibly as the daughter of Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr. obviously) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). This connection is being derived out of an interview that Gwyneth gave earlier that in the next film, the couple will finally get married and have a daughter. Given Katherine's age, a theory suggests that she will be seen in a flash-forward scene as Tony Stark’s grown-up daughter.</p>

Ever since Avengers last film ‘Infinity War’ ended on an abrupt note, there have been several fan theories suggesting many endings, link-ups, and more. One such is that Iron Man will have to sacrifice someone he loves to reverse the snap of Thanos (indicating that he will sacrifice his daughter) as Thanos too gave up on Gamora to attain all infinity stones and do the irreversible damage to the world (as we saw in the end of the film).&nbsp;</p>

Meanwhile, for all Marvel fans, Avengers 4 is tentatively titled Avengers: Annihilation. It’s said that the trailer of the film will come out by November-end while the movie will release on May 3, 2019. &nbsp;</p>


It’s finally the month of November and Marvel fans here are already losing their head over when the makers will reveal at least something official. From the official name of the film to teaser, trailer and whatever the makers are likely to reveal, to just do it already.

It’s finally the month of November and Marvel fans here are already losing their head over when the makers will reveal at least something official. From the official name of the film to teaser, trailer and whatever the makers are likely to reveal, to just do it already. See BTS pics from shoot. In an update to the film, it seems likely that Netflix’s ‘13 Reasons Why’ breakout star Katherine Langford will join ‘Avengers 4’, possibly as the daughter of Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr. obviously) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). This connection is being derived out of an interview that Gwyneth gave earlier that in the next film, the couple will finally get married and have a daughter. Given Katherine's age, a theory suggests that she will be seen in a flash-forward scene as Tony Stark’s grown-up daughter.

Also read: New Captain America could be black or a woman, post Chris Evans' exit Ever since Avengers last film ‘Infinity War’ ended on an abrupt note, there have been several fan theories suggesting many endings, link-ups, and more. One such is that Iron Man will have to sacrifice someone he loves to reverse the snap of Thanos (indicating that he will sacrifice his daughter) as Thanos too gave up on Gamora to attain all infinity stones and do the irreversible damage to the world (as we saw in the end of the film).

<br />
He was then joined by Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Chris Hemsworth (Captain America).<br />
<br />
Soon, Chris Pratt joins in as he sings,"Here's the story of a handsome StarLord like the greatest to walk the earth, by far."<br />
<br />
Pratt is then joined by Anthony Mackie(Falcon), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), and lastly Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther).

And this group was labeled the Avengers, that’s the way we all became the Marvel Bunch.'<br />
<br />
At the end of the song, Tom Hiddleston(Loki) comes in and joins the chorus before looking in Hemsworth's direction and saying 'Ah hello brother' only to be told 'shut up!' by his onscreen brother.&nbsp;</p>

Watch the Avengers sing 'The Marvel Bunch' in perfect unison ahead of 'Infinity War' release

<p>It boils down to this. 10 years of marvellous films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe culminates into one epic finale called <em>Avengers Infinity War</em> - a film that will make you pant in excitement from the first shot and leave you dumbstruck by the ending.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For those who are yet to watch the film, be assured this one is spoiler free.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As the trailers suggest, the film gathers 20 superheroes from the Marvel Universe to fight the ultimate villain- Thanos. The CGI created giant with Josh Brolin's voiceover is after six infinity stone- two of which is already in his possession. The infinity stones- represent a different characteristic of existence- soul, time, space, mind, reality and power. Now the six stones together can prove to be lethal and Thanos can ruin the entire world in a matter of seconds if he acquires all of them. But with the superhumans around, would Thanos be able to achieve this?</p>

<br />
Marvel films are always a lot of fun to watch. They are hugely entertaining, have witty one-liners and when you have Tony Stark at the helm of affairs, you know you're in for a good ride. Avengers: Infinity War not just uses Stark's cockiness - especially in the scenes where he clashes with Doctor Strange( Benedict Cumberbatch), it also has Thor -revamped after <em>Ragnarok</em>, the hilarious Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and wit-king Chris Pratt as Star Lord from<em> Guardians of The Galaxy</em>. So you can safely assume that the film is high on one-liners.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Avengers: Infinity War </em>though scores more than anything for the way it presents its antagonist Thanos, who is a layered character. At some points, you understand his menace. He is good and bad. He thinks he is doing mankind a favour while creating mayhem in the universe. He has a troubled past and that keeps coming back to haunt him.</p>

<p><img alt="thanos2.jpg" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="430" src="http://images.wionews.com/iniline-images/thanos2.jpg" width="770" /><br />
<br />
The film also beautifully weaves the 20 characters into one thread and its fun to watch how different factions of superheroes are fighting together with the evil force until it culminates into one jaw-dropping grand climax. You may have been a fan of Marvel films, and you have watched all the films to have a vague idea of how the film culminates, but you woul'n't have predicted the climax of this film. You simply cannot see where its headed by the end of it.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The cliffhanger ending helps to build up the suspense for the next one. It surely will make your year-long wait painful.<br />
<br />
You don't need me to tell you to watch<em> Avengers: Infinity War</em>. You will watch it even if you are not a Marvel fan or a fan of the franchise. It is two-and-a-half hour cinematic brilliance which cannot be missed at any cost.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
The film will pit the Marvel&#39;s superheroes against Thanos, whose master plan to accumulate all the Infinity Stones has been quietly playing out in a&nbsp;lot of Marvel Universe movies these past years. Armed with the powerful Infinity Gauntlet, the supervillain, played by Josh Brolin through motion capture, has been billed as one of the most terrifying villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While the trailer gives a glimpse of MCU&#39;s superheroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and the Black Widow, the biggest takeaway remains the split-second appearance of the Black Panther as he gears up for war.&nbsp;</p>

A similar strategy was adopted while promoting <em>The Justice League </em>after <em>Wonder Woman</em> did well at the Box Office.&nbsp;<br />

Armed with the powerful Infinity Gauntlet, the supervillain, played by Josh Brolin through motion capture, has been billed as one of the most terrifying villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the trailer gives a glimpse of MCU's superheroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and the Black Widow, the biggest takeaway remains the split-second appearance of the Black Panther as he gears up for war. Also see: Marvel heroes and villains celebrate 10 years with a class photo! The film, which released in February, has crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office. Industry insiders predict that after the film's stupendous success MCU might market Avengers: Infinity War highlighting the involvement of Black Panther- played by Chadwick Boseman. A similar strategy was adopted while promoting The Justice League after Wonder Woman did well at the Box Office. A key action sequence set in Wakanda has been frequently hinted at in all the trailers we’ve seen so far from the film. According to actor Don Cheadle, who plays War Machine in the Marvel movies, the cast shot one action set-piece that features over 40 superheroes. Avengers: Infinity War stars Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Don Cheadle, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Rudd, and Tom Hiddleston.

'Avengers: Infinity War': Marvel's biggest cast assemble till date

<p>Marvel brought thousands of fans to their feet on Saturday as it assembled a stellar panel of superheroes to preview &quot;Avengers: Infinity War&quot; at Disney&#39;s D23 convention.</p>

<p>The movie, which comes out next year, unites the characters from all 16 films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- and most of the actors who play them took the stage at the star-studded fan event in Anaheim, southern California. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The packed 7,000-capacity convention hall cheered as Josh Brolin, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle and Benedict Cumberbatch were introduced one by one.</p>

<p>Tom Holland, Benicio del Toro, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Anthony Mackie, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff and Chadwick Boseman and co-director Joe Russo were also part of the star-studded panel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;I&#39;ve got to admit, these guys have not been together on stage for a long time, and even I find myself geeking out,&quot; said Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige before introducing world-first &quot;Infinity Wars&quot; teaser footage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The movie opens in May 2018 -- the 10th anniversary of the US release of the original Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, &quot;Iron Man.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;It&#39;s funny to think Kevin and I figured all of this out at Randy&#39;s Donuts shooting &#39;Iron Man 2,&#39;&quot; quipped Downey, who plays the titular superhero.</p>

<p>The panel was part of a presentation of the next two years of live-action movies from Disney, which owns Marvel and Lucasfilm.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>&#39;Unexpected elements&#39;</strong></p>

<p>Lucasfilm&#39;s &quot;Star Wars&quot; panel has become one of the most talked-about panels at the biennial D23. But here were no new announcements or footage this time around.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 2018 Han Solo spin-off movie, which fired directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in favour of Oscar-winning Ron Howard last month, was largely glossed over, with no cast appearances or footage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But Rian Johnson, who directed the forthcoming eighth installment of the main series, &quot;The Last Jedi,&quot; delighted fans by introducing much of the cast, including Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Gwendoline Christie.</p>

<p>Johnson introduced a behind-the-scenes featurette and interviewed the cast on their experiences filming in Pinewood Studios, near London, and on Ireland&#39;s west coast.</p>

<p>&quot;When I read the script there were so many unexpected elements, which is great in a &#39;Star Wars&#39; film,&quot; said Hamill, who came on last to a rapt standing ovation. &quot;It&#39;s getting harder and harder to bring new things to the table and this is a real game changer.&quot;</p>

<p>Another highlight was a section offering news and footage from the studio&#39;s upcoming animation to live-action slate, including remakes of &quot;The Lion King,&quot; Mulan,&quot; &quot;Aladdin&quot; and &quot;Dumbo.&quot;</p>

<p>The crowd was on its feet again after seeing a stunning first clip from &quot;The Lion King,&quot; climaxing in the iconic moment when Rafiki introduces newborn Simba to the animals of the savannah.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>&#39;Respectful&#39;</strong></p>

<p>&quot;This is a story that belongs to everyone who grew up with the original film,&quot; said Jon Favreau, who directed the movie, due to hit theaters in July 2019. &quot;I wanted to demonstrate that we could be respectful of the source material while bringing it to life using new techniques and technologies.&quot;</p>

<p>Disney announced newcomer Mena Massoud in the titular role for Guy Ritchie&#39;s &quot;Aladdin,&quot; which reboots the 1992 animated classic, and Will Smith as the genie.</p>

<p>Disney also revealed that production is underway for the live-action reimagining of its 1941 animated classic &quot;Dumbo,&quot; slated for release in March 2019.</p>

<p>The movie is being directed by Tim Burton (&quot;Alice in Wonderland,&quot; &quot;Charlie and the Chocolate Factory&quot;) and stars Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Burton, who is starting production in England, addressed the D23 crowd via a video clip in which he described &quot;Dumbo&quot; as &quot;one of my favorite of the Disney movies.&quot;</p>

<p>Disney also showcased &quot;Nutcracker and the Four Realms,&quot; starring Misty Copeland, and &quot;A Wrinkle in Time,&quot; an epic adventure directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine and debutante Storm Reid, all of whom appeared onstage.</p>

<p>British actress Emily Blunt talked about playing the practically-perfect nanny in &quot;Mary Poppins Returns,&quot; a sequel to the iconic 1964 original that hits theaters on December 25 next year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;I needed to try to pay homage to Julie Andrews but carve out a new space for myself. And we were very loyal to the books,&quot; said Blunt.&nbsp;</p>
