<p>In the video, after Zoe Bell, you can see Halle Berry kick some butt as well as Scarlett Johansson and her fellow ‘Black Widow’ star Florence Pugh step into action. Margot Robbie makes use of her Harley Quinn bat while ‘Charlie’s Angels’ alums Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz jump into the brawl.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video also has cameos from Xena herself Lucy Lawless, ‘Birds of Prey’ actress Rosie Perez, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy' Zoe Saldana, ‘DMZ’ star Rosario Dawson as well as Daryl Hannah reprising her role as Elle Driver from ‘Kill Bill’.</p>

Scarlett Johansson says 'I made my career out of being second choice'

<p>Hugh Jackman recently revealed that his feud with Ryan Reynolds started because of his friend, and Rayn's ex-wife actress Scarlett Johansson.<br />
<br />
As it all started in the sets of 2009 movie 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', in which he and Reynolds both were starred in.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jackman said during an interview with a news agency, "How did it start? It's gone back so long now… God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don't even know why or how it started!"<br />
<br />
The actor explained how it all started, in the set of the movie, when he started teasing Reynolds about his marriage to Scarlett.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett, and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behaviour here, pal, because I’m watching,’ and we started ribbing each other that way, and then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out, and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted,” Jackman said.<br />
<br />
Their feud has been ongoing over the years, largely through their social media post.<br />
<br />
In 2015, Jackman posted a video of Reynolds, in his 'Deadpool' makeup, impersonating him with an Australian accent and encouraging fans to vote for him to be named People's Sexiest Man Alive.&nbsp;</p>

Hugh Jackman recently revealed that his feud with Ryan Reynolds started because of his friend, and Rayn's ex-wife actress Scarlett Johansson. As it all started in the sets of 2009 movie 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', in which he and Reynolds both were starred in. Jackman said during an interview with a news agency, "How did it start? It's gone back so long now… God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don't even know why or how it started!" The actor explained how it all started, in the set of the movie, when he started teasing Reynolds about his marriage to Scarlett. “I met him back on Wolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends with Scarlett, and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behaviour here, pal, because I’m watching,’ and we started ribbing each other that way, and then it all escalated with the Deadpool thing and him calling me out, and trying to manipulate me through social media to do what he wanted,” Jackman said. Their feud has been ongoing over the years, largely through their social media post. In 2015, Jackman posted a video of Reynolds, in his 'Deadpool' makeup, impersonating him with an Australian accent and encouraging fans to vote for him to be named People's Sexiest Man Alive.

Oscars 'Night Before' party to lighten up with A-list celebrity hosts

<p>First World War drama '1917' was the big winner at the BAFTAs on Sunday, picking up seven awards including best picture and director for Sam Mendes, at a glittering ceremony that made headlines for a glaring lack of diversity among nominees.<br />
<br />
The thrilling drama, shot in what appears to be a single take, was also honoured in the outstanding British film, sound, production design, cinematography and special visual effects categories. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-bafta-2020-1917-leads-with-six-wins-heres-the-complete-list-of-winners-278207">See the complete list of winners here</a><br />
<br />
Britain`s top movie awards have been criticized for having all-white shortlists in its acting categories and an all-male one for director, triggering the use of the hashtag #BaftasSoWhite on social media.<br />
<br />
BAFTA boss Amanda Berry had said she was "very disappointed" by the lack of diversity.<br />
<br />
Joaquin Phoenix voted the best actor for his critically acclaimed transformation from vulnerable loner into confident villain in "Joker", addressed the issue head on in his acceptance speech.<br />
<br />
The industry was sending "a very clear message to people of colour that you`re not welcome here", he said, adding it "was on us" to dismantle a system of oppression.</p>

First World War drama '1917' was the big winner at the BAFTAs on Sunday, picking up seven awards including best picture and director for Sam Mendes, at a glittering ceremony that made headlines for a glaring lack of diversity among nominees. The thrilling drama, shot in what appears to be a single take, was also honoured in the outstanding British film, sound, production design, cinematography and special visual effects categories. See the complete list of winners here Britain`s top movie awards have been criticized for having all-white shortlists in its acting categories and an all-male one for director, triggering the use of the hashtag #BaftasSoWhite on social media. BAFTA boss Amanda Berry had said she was "very disappointed" by the lack of diversity. Joaquin Phoenix voted the best actor for his critically acclaimed transformation from vulnerable loner into confident villain in "Joker", addressed the issue head on in his acceptance speech. The industry was sending "a very clear message to people of colour that you`re not welcome here", he said, adding it "was on us" to dismantle a system of oppression.

'Black Widow' new trailer released at Super Bowl, Scarlett Johansson introduces fans to her first family

<p>Hitler's hegemony over Germany and the fascist rule that broke the country's spine is a topic that has been well explored. World War and its futility is one of Hollywood's most tried and tested themes. But Taika Waititi's latest film 'Jojo Rabbit' is the most endearing story on Nazi Germany that one has seen in a long time.</p>

<p>Now, Hitler's brutal rule and his oppression can never have the word endearment attached to it. But Waititi narrates the story of a 10-year-old Jojo- who lives with free-spirited mother Rosie(Scarlett Johansson) in Hitler-ruled Germany. Jojo is part of the young boys' scout club - where young children are trained to be a part of the German army in the future.</p>

<p>While Jojo is a supreme worshipper of Hitler and even has an imaginary friend Adolf (Waititi himself) who is basically the dictator himself--the 10-year-old is still scared of explosions, guns and can't even kill a rabbit much to the amusement of his friends at the camp.</p>

<p>Jojo is obviously brainwashed about Jews and he knows for sure that he will be able to spot one from distance and kill 'it'. Things are fine untill he discovers his mother has hidden a Jew girl in the attic of their house.</p>

<p>Will he turn her in or use it for his convenience, forms the rest of the story.</p>

<p>'Jojo Rabbit' comes at a time when the world over the youth is resisting fascist leaders and state oppression. Slyly and in the most humourous way, the film highlights the way Nazi brainwashed young children to think in certain ways -- that how it would resist any kind of questioning or free-thinking.</p>

<p>Waititi's film is sprinkled with hilarious moments between Jojo and his imaginary friend Adolf who looks like the fascist leader but behaves and reacts like a 10-year-old. The two run at the sight of violence or explosion and even though they keep 'hail hitlering' around they are actually both scared of any kind of aggression.</p>

<p>Young actor Roman Griffin Davis plays Jojo with absolute perfection. He holds the film together and it's from his perspective that the entire story is narrated. Davis is a confident performer and with his charm and perfect comic timing - delivers the most heartwarming performance.</p>

<p>Scarlett Johansson is like a breath of fresh air whenever she comes on the screen. The adult in the house, she tries to reason with her fanatic 10-year-old son with humour and love.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/jojo-rabbit-star-archie-yates-signed-for-home-alone-reboot-in-leading-role-267948">Also read:&nbsp;'Jojo Rabbit' star Archie Yates signed for Home Alone reboot in leading role</a></p>

<p>In a film that talks about Hitler's brutal oppression... The laughs are in plenty and the credit goes to the brilliant screenplay which never slips even in the darkest moment.</p>

<p>Watch Jojo Rabbit for its most humourous take on one of the darkest period of history. Watch it for Waititi' s quirk and Davis' endearing act. It's a film that effectively spreads the importance of freedom and love and futility of war with one clever dig at fascism at a time.</p>

'Jojo Rabbit' review: Taika Waititi's satire on fascism is all heart

<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>

Golden Globes 2020: The best actress-drama nomination list

<p>Netflix film 'Marriage Story' has been loved by the audience worldwide and has even fetched several nominations in the upcoming Golden Globe Awards 2020. But the film has not been viewed in China yet. And now the makers of the movie have decided to release the family entertainer in Chinese multiplexes.<br />
<br />
Since the online streaming platform-Netflix is banned in China, the streamer sealed a deal with Beijing-based local distributor Road Pictures and gave the local big-screen-rights for the film.<br />
<br />
Noah Baumbach`s awards season favourite `Marriage Story`, received a limited Oscars-qualifying theatrical run in North America, but since Netflix is blocked from operating in China, the company has decided to sell the film`s big-screen rights to a local distributor.<br />
"Marriage Story is subtle and realistic -- and sometimes humorous, or life-affirming -- portrayal of love, marriage and family in all shapes and forms is sure to evoke strong emotional resonance in the Chinese audience," the company said in a statement.<br />
<br />
A representative for Road Pictures told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday that the company is aiming for a major nationwide rollout sometime shortly after the 92nd Academy Awards in February.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
State-backed distributor China Film Group will import and release the title, while Road Pictures will handle all marketing and support -- the typical arrangement in China. Scarlett Johansson starring `Marriage Story`, is considered as a strong frontrunner in Oscars in several categories after taking a lead in six nominations at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture.<br />

'Saturday Night Live' call up Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson and Eddie Murphy as December hosts

<p>Scarlett Johansson, who is now known to play strong and bold roles, revealed that she was once typecast and hyper-sexualised&nbsp;in her late teens and early 20s.<br />
<br />
The actor who was last seen in the anti-hate satire, 'Jojo Rabbit'&nbsp;joined actors Renee Zellweger, Laura Dern, Jennifer Lopez, Lupita Nyong'o and Awkwafina for The news agency&nbsp;Roundtable where she talked about her early career.<br />
<br />
"I feel when I was working in my early 20s and even in my late teens/early 20s, I felt that I sort of got, somehow, typecast. I was very hyper-sexualised," she said.<br />
<br />
"Which, I guess, at the time seemed Ok to everyone. It was another time. Even though it wasn't a part of my own narrative, it was kind of crafted for me by probably a bunch of dudes in the industry," Johansson continued.</p>

<p>She admitted that while it worked, she found it hard to "figure out how to get out of being an ingenue or the other woman because it was never anything that I had intended".<br />
<br />
Johansson's journey took a turn when she was approached to star on Broadway in Arthur Miller's 'A View From the Bridge'&nbsp;in 2009. It "totally reset my whole way of thinking about how I could work and the different kinds of opportunities that could be available to me," she said.<br />
<br />
She went on to win a Tony Award for her performance. Now, after starring in a number of films including the superhero franchise 'Avengers', she believes that "It's so different now, the climate is so different now".<br />
<br />
"The opportunities for women of every age to play all different types of people" has broadened, the 34-year old added. Nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, Johansson is currently starring in 'Marriage Story'&nbsp;along with Adam Driver and Laura Dern, which hit the theatres recently. The film has been written and helmed by Noah Baumbach.</p>

Scarlett Johansson feels she was typecast, 'hyper-sexualised' in early career

<p>As the actresses roundtable took place in Hollywood yesterday, the event saw the likes of&nbsp;Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong'o, Renee Zellweger,&nbsp;Awkwafina and&nbsp;Laura Dern&nbsp;speak about what matters to them, changing scope of work for women in the entertainment industry and a lot of other stuff.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They got together for The Hollywood Reporter's annually held actresses roundtable as they were a part of some amazing films and gave stellar performances this year. Laura Dern, 52, pointed out at the start of the conversation that&nbsp;"this is a rare gift that we get to be in community like this." She will be seen reuniting with&nbsp;Scarlett Johansson, with whom she stars in Noah Baumbach's 'Marriage Story'.</p>

<p>Johansson, 34, who also makes an impression in Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit, is joined by Hustlers' Jennifer Lopez, 50, 'Us'&nbsp;star Lupita Nyong'o, 36, and 'The Farewell' star&nbsp;Awkwafina, 30.</p>

<p>Lopez said,&nbsp;"That's what we do. We perform, we go out there, whether it's in front of 50,000 people on the stage, or in front of 300 guys on set, we've got to perform.&nbsp;You've got to do it."</p>

<p>Responding to when they have been most afraid or intimidated by a role, Renee spoke about her portrayal of Judy Garland in her biopic. She said, "It happens every time before you start. Your impostor syndrome sneaks in —this will be the time that everyone knows you're a fraud and you're going to get fired. It becomes less fear and probably more just a sense of responsibility as you get older, and I've been doing it a while." This while Lupita Nyongó said, "I would say that Us terrified me quite a bit" and added, "Every time I work, I wonder whether I have what it takes to do that particular role, because we're in a business where we're always starting again: You start with ignorance with every role. And the preparation is about moving from that ignorance to hopefully a sense of expertise by the time the film wraps."</p>

<p>JLo also spoke of her recent film 'Hustlers' as she said, "This was the first time in a long time that I was actually terrified, really scared, to do that opening [pole dancing] number, which I suggested, of course.&nbsp;It was my fault that I was there to begin with. It wasn't written in the script. And I was like, no, she's the big money-maker at the club — she has to show why. We can't say it, we have to do it. I have to dance on the pole, I have to show them, I have to go there."</p>

<p>Scarlett&nbsp;Johansson spoke about opportunities being laid bare for a number of women than ever before. She said, "The climate is so different now, there's so many wonderful opportunities for women of every age to play all different types of people. When I was working in my early 20s and even my late teens, I felt that I got somehow typecast as hypersexualized, which I guess at the time seemed OK to everyone — it was another time — even though it wasn't part of my own narrative. It was kind of crafted for me by probably a bunch of dudes in the industry."</p>

<p>She went on and said, "But it was really difficult for me to try to figure out how to get out of being an ingenue or the "other woman" because it was never anything that I had intended. I had to shake it up a little bit. I remember thinking at the time that maybe I needed a different job in this industry that would be more fulfilling because it seemed like there was nowhere to go. And so I actually had the opportunity to do an Arthur Miller play on Broadway, and it totally reset my whole way of thinking about how I could work, and what different kinds of opportunities could be available to me."</p>

<p>Johansson also shared her thoughts on Martin Scorsese's comment on Marvel films. She said, "There's certainly a place for all kinds of cinema right now. People absorb content in so many different ways. I actually didn't totally understand that statement, because I guess I needed some insight as to what it meant exactly. Because to me it seemed a little old-fashioned. But somebody pointed out to me that perhaps what the statement meant was that there's no room for smaller films, because the cinema is taken up by these enormous blockbusters, and smaller movies don't have a chance at the theatre, which I hadn't actually considered and think is a valid point. But I also feel like there's sort of this shift in how people watch stuff and there's all these platforms for different kinds of [content]."</p>

<p>Nyong'o meanwhile confronted the idea of being an actress who works with underrepresented directors. She said, "It's definitely not a calculated thing. These are all directors who have offered me the most interesting roles. And I've taken them. I haven't really thought about the demographics of the director I've been working with. This #MeToo time, this Time's Up time in the industry, is about allowing for equitable representation. And because I am a black woman, I am a beneficiary of that movement in the work that I've been able to do. I'm very grateful to have come into the industry at the time that I have because I am benefiting from the efforts of a lot of other women who have come before me, other black women who have had it a lot rougher than I have. This is a time where there is a concerted effort to consider diversity and inclusion. What I really want is for it to not be a fad, not be a trend. Right now it's really dope and cool and on-trend to work with women and underrepresented groups, but the moment of maturity in the industry is when it is just the norm, you know?"</p>

<p>Awkwafina added to these points and said, "There is a genuine urge for audiences to want an industry that represents their life. That's why I'm very positive about the direction that we're going in. I don't think that having people of different cultures or women will be a trend because I think that it's what people want. We're changing as a society."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actresses also spoke about their respective films, their success stories of the year and how things have changed post #MeToo and #TimesUp.&nbsp;</p>

Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong'o & others get together for actresses roundtable 2019

<p>Avengers` actor Scarlett Johansson is totally up for an all-women Marvel movie stating that any such film would be "explosive and unstoppable."<br />
<br />
"I don`t know what my future is in that world. Obviously, it`s a little more opaque for my character," Variety quoted Johansson as saying.<br />
However, pressing on the fact that powerful women are associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she added, "that group of actresses is so incredibly powerful and when they come together, it`s explosive and unstoppable."<br />
<br />
Johansson has played Black Widow in the last Marvel film, `Avengers: Endgame` and now she is pushing for a female-centric film.<br />
"So, yes, I`m pushing for that. I think audiences want it and I`m definitely one of them," the `Lucy` actor expressed.It`s not only Johansson but her `Avengers` co-star Brie Larson who has also batted for the idea.<br />
<br />
"I will say that a lot of the female cast members from Marvel walked up to Kevin and we were like, `We are in this together, we want to do this,`" Larson told Variety last week.</p>

<p>The `Captain Marvel` star continued, "You know, I`m not in charge of the future of Marvel, but it is something that we`re really passionate about and we love, and I feel like if enough people out in the world talk about how much they want it, maybe it`ll happen."</p>

<p>Although Marvel and its president Kevin Feige are yet to confirm an all-women movie, the studio had announced a new slate of upcoming female-centric films during San Diego Comic-Con in July. Johansson`s superhero Black Widow is set to get her own standalone movie, to be released in May 2020. Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie has also been cast in the Marvel`s `The Eternals`.</p>

All-women Marvel movie would be 'explosive, unstoppable', feels Scarlett Johansson

<p>For those who bid a teary farewell to Robert Downey Jr in 'Avengers: Endgame', there's good news. According to multiple media reports, Robert Downey Jr is preparing for one last flight as Iron Man.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The 54-year-old actor may reprise his role as the iconic superhero in Scarlett Johansson-starrer `Black Widow`.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Downey`s character was last seen in `Avengers: Endgame` after Iron Man sacrificed himself in the fight against Thanos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While it`s unclear if Downey would return for a bigger role or even a small appearance in the upcoming Marvel film, he has been outspoken about leaving his mantle after a decade of portraying Tony Stark (Iron Man).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I had an incredible ten-year run that was creatively satisfying," he said while on the `Off Camera Show` in July."It was very, very, very hard work and I dug very deep, but I have not been forced to explore the new frontier of what is my creative and personal life after this," he added at that time.<br />
<br />
He continued, "First thing you learn in theater arts. Aesthetic distance. I am not in this play I`m doing. I`m not a character in The Fantasticks. I`m not Will from Oklahoma. Aesthetic distance. It`s job one. I`m not my work. I`m not what I did with that studio. I`m not that period of time that I spent playing this character."<br />
<br />
The actor has played the role of Iron Man since the release of his 2008 film.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/black-widow-poster-features-natasha-romanoffs-new-suit-david-harbour-as-red-guardian-245663">plot of `Black Widow`</a> has largely been kept under wraps. The long-awaited film was confirmed at Comic-Con to be the first movie of Marvel`s Phase 4.<br />

For those who bid a teary farewell to Robert Downey Jr in 'Avengers: Endgame', there's good news. According to multiple media reports, Robert Downey Jr is preparing for one last flight as Iron Man.

For those who bid a teary farewell to Robert Downey Jr in 'Avengers: Endgame', there's good news. According to multiple media reports, Robert Downey Jr is preparing for one last flight as Iron Man. The 54-year-old actor may reprise his role as the iconic superhero in Scarlett Johansson-starrer `Black Widow`. Downey`s character was last seen in `Avengers: Endgame` after Iron Man sacrificed himself in the fight against Thanos. While it`s unclear if Downey would return for a bigger role or even a small appearance in the upcoming Marvel film, he has been outspoken about leaving his mantle after a decade of portraying Tony Stark (Iron Man). "I had an incredible ten-year run that was creatively satisfying," he said while on the `Off Camera Show` in July."It was very, very, very hard work and I dug very deep, but I have not been forced to explore the new frontier of what is my creative and personal life after this," he added at that time. He continued, "First thing you learn in theater arts. Aesthetic distance. I am not in this play I`m doing. I`m not a character in The Fantasticks. I`m not Will from Oklahoma. Aesthetic distance. It`s job one. I`m not my work. I`m not what I did with that studio. I`m not that period of time that I spent playing this character." The actor has played the role of Iron Man since the release of his 2008 film. The plot of `Black Widow` has largely been kept under wraps. The long-awaited film was confirmed at Comic-Con to be the first movie of Marvel`s Phase 4. Johansson`s has played Black Widow, a major role in seven Marvel movies, tracking her evolution from morally dubious Russian assassin to a world-saving Avenger. Johansson was last seen as `Black Widow` in the hit 2019 film `Avengers: Endgame`, in which she sacrificed herself to save Hawkeye (played by Jeremy Renner) and get the Soul Stone from Vormir during the `time heist`. Australian director Cate Shortland is helming the standalone film on Black Widow, which also stars Rachel Weisz as Melina, `Stranger Things` David Harbour as Alexi, `The Handmaid`s Tales` O-T Fagbenle as Mason, and `Midsommar`s Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova. Shortland is best known for her films `Somersault`, `Lore` and `Berlin Syndrome`.`Black Widow` is set to hit the big screens on May 1, 2020. (With inputs from ANI)

Fans rejoice! Robert Downey Jr may just be returning as Iron Man one last time

<p>New Zealander Taika Waititi`s 'Jojo Rabbit' on Sunday won the audience award given at the end of the Toronto International Film Festival, which has in many past years been a bellwether for Academy Award winners.<br />
<br />
'Jojo Rabbit' is a comic satire about a 10-year-old German boy Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) during the World War Two, who finds out his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic and turns for help to his imaginary friend Adolph Hitler (Waititi).<br />
<br />
Last week, Waititi was awarded the Toronto International Film Festival`s new Ebert Director Award, with the festival`s co-head Cameron Bailey hailing his "razor-sharp humour, faultless style and boundless generosity."</p>

'Jojo Rabbit' wins audience award at Toronto film festival; next stop, Oscars?

<p>Sometimes real-life experiences can be really helpful, especially when you are taking inspiration for a specific character. Something similar happened with actor Scarlett Johansson, who revealed that being a mother helped her for the upcoming movie `Jojo Rabbit`.<br />
<br />
Being a real-life mother to a five-year-old Rose helped Johansson portray a parent on the big screen twice in 2019, reported Entertainment Weekly.<br />
<br />
The `Avengers` actor opened up about the same while visiting the EW and PEOPLE studio at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where her next outing <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/scarlett-johansson-unveils-jojo-rabbit-marriage-story-in-toronto-248643">`Jojo Rabbit`</a> premiered on Sunday."It`s a parent`s job to protect their kids," Johansson said at TIFF."I think that by not involving Roman`s character in the reality of what`s going on at home. I think I`m basically keeping him alive that way. I`ve never had a child in a film before. And then this year, I made two films where suddenly I had 10 and 11-year-olds -- so I kind of became this insta-parent," she added.</p>

<p>The `Black Widow` actor noted that being a parent herself has been "invaluably helpful" in portraying the role of Rosie on screen."I think for actors, of course, there are ways of getting yourself where you need to go. Being a parent myself was just invaluably helpful to me," Johansson said.</p>

<p>"I had empathy for Rosie`s plate that I may not have had insight on otherwise. She was just a joy to play. She`s a warm, lovable character that felt really comfy to me. And I wanted that to come across, that she`s just comfortable and kind of sugary and warm," she said of her character.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;satirical comedy revolves around a lonely German boy JoJo "Rabbit" Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis), whose life is turned upside after discovering that his mother Rosie (Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic during World War II.</p>

<p>The only person he feels he can truly count on is his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi). Apart from starring in the film, Waititi has also directed the upcoming drama. It is set to hit the big screens on October 18.&nbsp;</p>

How being a parent helped Scarlett Johansson for her role in 'Jojo Rabbit'

<p>Scarlett Johansson dominated the Toronto film festival's red carpets Sunday with the debuts of two new films including the world premiere of satirical Nazi comedy 'Jojo Rabbit.'<br />
<br />
The movie from 'Thor: Ragnarok' director Taika Waititi tells the story of a young German boy living during World War Two whose imaginary friend is a make-believe version of Adolf Hitler.</p>

<p>Billed as an 'anti-hate satire,' it plots how the child -- a Hitler Youth member with a fondness for Nazi uniforms and book-burnings -- discovers that his mother (Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic.</p>

<p>Johansson said the film's humor and childish perspective give audiences a new way to grasp "the atrocity of what was really going on at that time."<br />
<br />
She described the script, written by Waititi -- who also plays the imaginary Hitler -- as a "perfect jewel."</p>

<br />
The New Zealand-born director, who is of Maori and Jewish descent, said the release of the film was timely in today's polarized political climate.<br />
<br />
"Now we're seeing all those little pockets of hate groups and seeing these patterns that were happening in the '30s happening again," he said.<br />
<br />

Scarlett Johansson dominated the Toronto film festival's red carpets Sunday with the debuts of two new films including the world premiere of satirical Nazi comedy 'Jojo Rabbit.

Scarlett Johansson dominated the Toronto film festival's red carpets Sunday with the debuts of two new films including the world premiere of satirical Nazi comedy 'Jojo Rabbit.' The movie from 'Thor: Ragnarok' director Taika Waititi tells the story of a young German boy living during World War Two whose imaginary friend is a make-believe version of Adolf Hitler. Billed as an 'anti-hate satire,' it plots how the child -- a Hitler Youth member with a fondness for Nazi uniforms and book-burnings -- discovers that his mother (Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic. Johansson said the film's humor and childish perspective give audiences a new way to grasp "the atrocity of what was really going on at that time." She described the script, written by Waititi -- who also plays the imaginary Hitler -- as a "perfect jewel." The New Zealand-born director, who is of Maori and Jewish descent, said the release of the film was timely in today's polarized political climate. "Now we're seeing all those little pockets of hate groups and seeing these patterns that were happening in the '30s happening again," he said. "And for me, now more than ever, I think it's important that we keep addressing that stuff and revisiting these stories." Johansson, the world's highest-paid actress, also appeared on the red carpet for 'Marriage Story,' a drama about a divorcing couple in which she stars opposite Adam Driver.

Woody Allen's adoptive daughter criticises Scarlett Johansson for not believing sex abuse claims

<p>Several leading Hollywood stars may have distanced themselves from veteran director Woody Allen, in the wake of sexual molestation allegations levelled against Allen by his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow but actress Scarlett Johansson has stated she would be happy to work with him "anytime."<br />
<br />
"How do I feel about Woody Allen? I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him anytime," the actor told The Hollywood Reporter. The two have earlier worked together in `Match Point`, `Vicky Cristina Barcelona` and `Scoop`.</p>

<p>The 34-year old actor shared, "I see Woody whenever I can, and I have had a lot of conversations with him about it. I have been very direct with him, and he`s very direct with me. He maintains his innocence, and I believe him."<br />
<br />
Talking about people and other celebrities` anger towards the 83-year old director, Johansson said: "It`s hard because it`s a time where people are very fired up, and understandably."<br />
<br />
"Things needed to be stirred up, and so people have a lot of passion and a lot of strong feelings and are angry, and rightfully so. It`s an intense time."<br />

Scarlett Johansson believes Woody Allen is innocent, would want to work with him again in future

<p>Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver play a couple in crisis in 'Marriage Story', an emotional tale of a relationship falling apart and a project the Hollywood actress said she felt was "fated" as it came about as she went through her own divorce.</p>

<p>The Avengers&nbsp;regular and 'Star Wars'&nbsp;actor portray&nbsp;actress Nicole and theatre director Charlie, who go their separate ways when the former, feeling unfilled, returns to her native Los Angeles with their son to shoot a television series pilot.</p>

<p>While Charlie at first believes Nicole and Henry, 8, will eventually return to New York, he soon realises this will not happen. The couple wants an amicable split but it spirals into something nastier when pushy divorce lawyers are called in.</p>

<p>The Netflix film, directed and written by Noah Baumbach, has been billed one of the must-sees at the Venice Film Festival, where the streaming giant won the top Golden Lion Prize last year for Alfonso Cuaron's 'Roma'.</p>

<p>Baumbach, whose last work 'The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)'&nbsp;was also a Netflix film, has spoken of how he drew from his own personal experience of divorce and that of friends when writing the movie.</p>

<p>"Something that I discovered in writing (the film is that) ... when something stops working that you actually acknowledge it or recognise it for the first time," Baumbach told a news conference.</p>

<p>"It's like if you're going through a door and it's locked you suddenly look at the door and you look at how it works, so I thought well through a divorce we could explore a marriage."</p>

<p>Johansson told reporters she was going through a divorce herself when she first met Baumbach to talk about the film. The 34-year-old was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds and journalist turned art curator Romain Dauriac.</p>

<p>"I hadn't seen (Baumbach) in a long time...so I think I just kind of probably blew into the room and you know just ordered a glass of white wine and started complaining," she said.</p>

<p>"He was just listening and attentive, but then he said 'funny you should be talking about this, probably either a project you're really gonna want to do or not want to see or be a part of I don't know, we'll see how you feel about it', but it was almost...it felt sort of fated in a way I guess."</p>

<p>Viewers follow Nicole and Charlie's journey to divorce as they try to navigate a new life apart and across the country, both intent on making sure their son is spared the pain of his parents separating.</p>

<p>Tensions eventually rise, climaxing in a huge screaming match, a scene Driver said made him think of "the theatrics of divorce".</p>

<p>"You're kind of performing ... for a judge and there's mediators," he said.</p>

<p>"So in working on it, it just felt more like that, it felt like theatre, we blocked it out, we talked about where we were going to go, it wasn't something that we winged."</p>

<p>The movie already had murmurings of potential awards success before its Thursday premiere and critics in Venice were enthusiastic.</p>
