Captain America: Brave New World Worldwide Box Office: To Beat Black Adam(Photo Credit –Facebook/Prime Video)

The MCU movie Captain America: Brave New World is reaping the benefits of Snow White’s mediocre welcome at the box office in North America. This is, in turn, helping it surpass Black Adam’s worldwide haul. It is not the brightest star in the MCU but is still trying to earn some profit until it is in the theatres. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Captain America 4 was expected to suffer after the release of Snow White, but due to the mixed word-of-mouth, the MCU movie has less to worry about. Although Anthony Mackie has been lauded for taking up the mantle of Cap after Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, the film’s shallow narration is hampering the collections. The film introduced a few new characters, and it will be interesting to see...

They say that “the pen is mightier than the sword,” but sometimes, it feels like the media’s power is even mightier than both. When the press comes knocking, truth often gets shoved in the backseat, while stories with more punch get to drive the narrative. That’s exactly what Candace Owens, a fiercely outspoken commentator, seems to suggest about Harvey Weinstein’s fall from grace.

Through her conversations on Hot Mics with Billy Bush, Owens argues that Weinstein’s conviction was shaped more by media frenzy than by a fair trial. She compares his fate to that of Johnny Depp, highlighting how both men were victims of public hysteria. But before we dive deeper into this conversation, let’s break down Owens’ take on the whole issue, which she’s defending, even at the risk of being controversial.

Salma Hayek is adding a new role to her career: screenwriter. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, the actress and producer discussed writing her first feature film, which she will also direct and produce through her company, Ventanarosa. While keeping details of the project undisclosed, she described it as “meaningful,” with a strong rhythm and unexpected turns throughout. “I think I’ve earned the right after 25 years of doing it for others,” she said.

Reflecting on changes in Hollywood, Hayek spoke about the shifting perceptions of aging actresses. “There was a time when I was the sexy girl, but thank God age came and gave me the ability to expand to other territories,” she said. “Although I’m still sexy and I embrace it. Another calling that I have is to remind everyone that women are not disposable after a certain age in any department. We should battle that with all we’ve got.

Multi-hyphenate Salma Hayek has evolved throughout her nearly four-decade career, never wanting to be boxed into certain roles as an actress whether on screen or off. In a sprawling cover story for Marie Claire, the star/producer discussed adding another facet to her repertoire: writing her first feature.

“It’s meaningful. It has a great rhythm. It’s full of surprises to the very end,” she previewed, keeping mum about the details of the project, which she’ll direct and her company, Ventanarosa, aims to produce. “I think I’ve earned the right after 25 years of doing it for others.”

Having been in the entertainment industry for numerous years, the Oscar-nominated Frida star said she’s happy to see a mindset shift around aging women in Hollywood, explaining, “There was a time when I was the sexy girl, but thank God age came and gave me the ability to expand to other territories.

It is well known that Will Smith once had the chance to headline The Matrix, a fact that has been prominent recently thanks to the actor’s involvement in a recent Matrix-inspired music video. It is also an undeniable fact that the movie he chose to make instead was a panned disaster. Over 25 years later, the steampunk-tinged adventure-comedy that paired cowboys with outlandish gadgets,Wild Wild West is now discovering a new audience on Tubi.

Smith was on a high at the time of the movie’s original release in 1999, having starred in Bad Boys, the alien blockbuster Independence Day, and another intergalactic adventure with Men in Black, but despite being a notable A-lister, Wild Wild West could not capitalize on it and was seen as a generally terrible, disjointed mess of a movie.

There are many streaming services available for audiences to consume, but Netflix remains the most successful.

Although its prices have risen, it is showing no signs of slowing down, continuing to pump out an impressive amount of content. However, the most engaging releases on Netflix are not glossy U.S. productions, but rather the imports from other countries.

It is not every day that two superheroes battle it out for a role but the audition tapes of Henry Cavill and Antony Starr for James Bond from 2005 have been released. The two join two other stars Rupert Friend and Sam Worthington to be 007 but all four ultimately lost out the role to Daniel Craig.

Cavill has long been considered to be the perfect man for James Bond. The actor seemingly received endorsement from Casino Royale director Martin Campbell but it never came to be. However, the audition tapes reveal that Cavill had stiff competition from the Homelander actor, who was a relative unknown back then.

Well, it’s none other than the veteran legend Pierce Brosnan, who collaborated with Salma Hayek in their 2004 movie After the Sunset and left the actress simping over him. Meanwhile, as per Hayek, part of the reason she was swooning over Brosnan was because she’s had a crush on him since the 1980s.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is no longer one of Hollywood's biggest franchises - it is it's biggest franchise of all time, grossing over $31 billion and counting at the box office. Those numbers would have been unheard of decades ago, especially when there are other well-established franchises that got a head start on the Marvel Studios fare, but the heroes of the MCU persisted, bringing audiences in over the course of many movies - all of which have played a crucial part in building the vivid world they inhabit.

Iron Man kickstarted things back in 2008, with Robert Downey Jr.'s wit and charisma placing Tony Stark at the center of our hearts. But little did we know then that the film would also place him at the center of an entire universe, as the likes of Captain America, Black Widow, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man,...

Mayim Bialik from The Big Bang Theory almost fell prey to Hollywood’s obsession with beauty. While there is nothing wrong with appreciating beauty, holding a certain type of look superior over others is harmful. The damage only increases when people are ostracized for not matching up to that unrealistic standard.

In an industry as competitive as Hollywood the repercussions of that unrealistic beauty standard increase tenfold. Especially when many doors get barred from actresses who do not adhere to the standards that would otherwise be open to them.

The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik, too, almost came close to caving into the pressure at one point. However, being a part of the industry from a young age made her overcome the pressure at last.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of star-power. It's true; all the big stars find their way there eventually. Look no further than the recent Captain America: Brave New World, which has brought Harrison Ford into the MCU franchise and will reportedly bring Liv Tyler back after nearly two decades. Marvel knows the stars.

The Multiverse Saga has seen the additions of some more big names, including Olivia Colman, Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, Debra Jo Rupp, Emma Caulfield, Angelina Jolie, Barry Keoghan, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington, Richard Madden, and so many more. And with Robert Downey Jr. set to return to the franchise in a brand new role, the star-power is clearly still alive and well in the MCU.

That being said, rumor has it that Marvel Studios is particularly interested in adding two more major stars to the franchise - both of whom have made it big on Netflix in recent years.

Captain America: Brave New Soldier follows in the footsteps of three installments for Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers and four Avengers films when Rogers recruited Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, The Incredible Hulk and more to combat threats to the world and universe.

Following the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Steve Rogers passed on the torch — in this case his shield with a star in the center and patriotic stripes around the frame — to his righthand man The Falcon, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Wilson, in turn, recruited a new Falcon — Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez). For those wondering what to watch ahead of the release of the latest MCU film, most of the necessary context and what to remember can be found in three main Marvel projects — The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), Eternals (2021) and The Incredible Hulk (2018).

Blake Lively has certainly found herself in quite a corner amid her lawsuits with Justin Baldoni. Despite starting the entire ordeal in December when she legally filed her lawsuit against the Jane the Virgin star, she is now in some very deep waters as more and more of her fans are questioning their loyalty to her.

For every Hollywood icon, there exists a story hidden deep underneath the layers of fame and wealth. Salma Hayek was one such star who had never foregone the scrutiny that came with celebrity. The A-list actress continues to hold a trance over her fans today as much as she did when Desperado hit the theaters.

Besides being constantly in demand, Hayek also commands a magnitude of respect and awe in her field. The actress is neither an indie darling nor a box office blockbuster queen and yet has the potential to do equally well in both while also being a major crowd-puller. However, for a star of such major credits, she had a very humble, if not shady, beginning.

The 1998 high school horror flick The Faculty is the next on the line to get the remake treatment. Drew Hancock is in line to direct.

Audiences seem to be having a good time with Drew Hancock’s feature debut, Companion. The horror comedy comes from Boulderlight, the same team that brought the wild horror, Barbarian into the world back in 2022. Following the success of that film, they seem to have the pick of many a horror project in Hollywood.

For Drew Hancock, that next project could well be a remake of the 1998 high school horror, The Faculty.

The original featured an ensemble of young talent including a young Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett and was a fun film, a kind of late 90s teen horror spin on Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Salma Hayek popped up, as did Robert Patrick and Famke Janssen. With Robert Rodriguez directing, the movie possessed his trademark kinetic style,...

Sci-fi horror fans, we've got some exciting news you're going to want to hear! A beloved cult horror classic from the '90s is getting a remake, and it's stirring up some serious buzz. While remakes can be hit or miss, we're hoping the remake of this fan-favorite sci-fi horror will both honor the original and bring a fresh twist to the story. If it manages to strike that balance, it'll definitely be a hit in our book.

What horror classic is getting remade? Well, it'll be the 1998 sci-fi horror flick The Faculty, which starred talented actors such as Josh Hartnett, Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall, Laura Harris, Salma Hayek, Famke Janssen, Shawn Hatosy, Christopher McDonald, and Elijah Wood. This movie was also a box-office hit, drawing audiences in with its mix of teen drama, sci-fi thrills, and horror elements.

When it comes to actors and love, many are not as successful as their on-screen characters and usually end up with several flings and breakups. Even Renée Zellweger had a similar relationship history, having dated actors like Jim Carrey and Bradley Cooper, the celebrated actress struggled to find love for many years.

However, it all changed when her path crossed with Ant Anstead, the English television presenter, artist, and more. Since their fateful meeting over four years ago, the couple has been strong and continues to capture the public’s attention with their unexpected romance.

“Is it too late to seek redemption? Or is the clock ticking too fast for those who’ve walked the path of darkness?” This is the question that lingers in the air as Harvey Weinstein, once a towering titan in Hollywood, faces his retrial under the glaring spotlight of the #MeToo movement. The echoes of his alleged actions reverberate through the lives of many women, including the courageous voices of Salma Hayek, Rose McGowan, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who came forward with their painful truths.

Michael Jackson Supermarket Trip (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Michael Jackson once turned grocery shopping into a Thriller-esque spectacle. In the early 2000s, the King of Pop, who’d never roamed a supermarket “like everyone else,” enlisted a Florida mall owner to stage a faux shopping spree. The store was cleared, staffed by his inner circle, and filmed for Michael Jackson’s Private Home Movies on Fox 2003.

“It’s my dream to go into a supermarket and just shop. People crowd around me…I don’t see the real thing,” Jackson explained in the footage. To mimic reality, his team transformed the venue post-closing hours. Relatives became cashiers, his nanny hid under a blonde wig, and a pan-pipe cover of Billie Jean hummed overhead. Even a Life magazine featuring a close friend, Elizabeth Taylor, was strategically placed.

Christian Bale’s Insane Starvation Diet

The popular method actor’s 200-calorie diet was alarmingly restrictive, consisting of only a can of tuna and an apple per day, with coffee and water as his only drinks. To suppress hunger, he took up chain smoking and spent hours reading, sometimes for ten hours straight, without moving.

“It’s an amazing experience doing that,” he told The Guardian in 2018. “When you’re so skinny that you can hardly walk up a flight of stairs, you’re like, this being of pure thought.”

Despite the movie receiving poor reviews from critics, audiences are absolutely loving The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (that title sure is a mouthful), which recently found new success streaming for free.

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is that film's less successful younger brother, released four years later in 2021.

Apparently, Lady Gaga and Salma Hayek filmed a “hot” scene that never made it to theaters. Yep, Patrizia Reggiani and her psychic, Pina Auriemma, got steamy, at least in a version of the movie we’ll never see. Gaga spilled the tea, saying, “There’s a whole side of this film that you did not see, where Pina and I developed a fiery relationship.”

Director’s cut, anyone?

The surprise twist wasn’t in the original script. Gaga, fully immersed in her character’s chaotic energy, pitched the idea during filming. “So after Maurizio dies, maybe it gets hot?” she suggested to Hayek. Cue Salma’s hilarious response: “What are you talking about?”

But Ridley Scott, known for pushing boundaries, gave the green light to explore it. Gaga praised him, saying, “This is a testament to [Ridley Scott] as a director,...

She started her journey with Mexican telenovelas and then transitioned to Hollywood. Salma gained recognition with Desperado, Wild Wild West, and Frida. She received her first nomination with Frida, and although she appeared in action movies, her true commercial success with comedies included movies like Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and more. Hayek has won two Primetime Emmy Award nominations – one for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series and the other for Outstanding Comedy Series...

Hollywood has never been easy for rising stars—but the industry has been particularly difficult for the ones who come from a diverse background. Take for example Eva Longoria, who opened up about facing troubles with individuality in Hollywood.

According to the actress as she appeared to be a Latina, but carried an American accent, it became difficult for her to land roles in the industry. Well, it sounds quite the opposite of what Sofía Vergara has faced in the entertainment industry due to her strong Colombian accent.

Eva Longoria struggled in Hollywood for her lack of accent

With roles ranging from television shows like Desperate Housewives to films like John Wick, Eva Longoria has been a Hollywood staple for over two decades. Therefore, looking back at her career since the late 90s, the actress opened up about the struggles she faced...

Few people had a better 2024 in movies than Ryan Reynolds, who led the charge behind Deadpool & Wolverine, the R-rated superhero tentpole that grossed over $1.3 billion at the box office and earned rave reviews. Reynolds has starred in a slew of action thrillers over the years, but just a few years ago he reunited with Samuel L. Jackson for an action sequel that’s showing no mercy on streaming charts. Reynolds and Jackson star alongside Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas in Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, the 2021 action comedy that’s currently streaming on Freevee. The film is currently #9 on Freevee at the time of writing but was panned by critics upon release, who scored it at 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, much lower than the general audience's 79% score.

Since Endgame‘s fitting departure to Steve Rogers’ Captain America, many were left wondering if the MCU will ever dive into the life of Old Man Rogers, who was successful in his quest of putting every Infinity stone in its place. With Chris Evans now reportedly set to return in Avengers: Doomsday, and potentially in its sequel, Secret Wars, fans have been running wild with his potential purpose in the movie.

Although not much has been unveiled about Doomsday‘s plot, which was originally penned as a multiversal epic with Kang at the forefront, one theory could imply his survival in the movie.

These days, Salma Hayek is known for her roles in Eternals, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Wild Wild West. The talented actress has earned acclaim for her adaptability, although she retains strong ties to her comedic roots. She’s earned plenty of well-deserved fans since then, but many have missed her best role. Way back in 2002, Hayek landed the leading role in Julie Taymor’s Frida, a surrealistic biographical drama about Frida Kahlo. That role rightfully propelled Hayek’s career into the stratosphere, and she’s been climbing the cinematic ladder ever since.

So, what makes the film so special? Like many of Julie Taymor’s films, the entirety of Frida is a meticulous masterpiece. It’s more than a simple biography. It’s a fully reconstructed world, and its characters act accordingly. Simply starring in such an “artsy” film is difficult enough, but the subject matter must also be considered.

It’s hard to believe the Golden Globes took place just a week ago. The L.A. wildfires that raged over the following days brought Hollywood to a halt, displacing tens of thousands and killing dozens. Several of the celebrities who attended the Globes ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, Jan. 5, have lost their homes. But as firefighters battle to control the blazes, the town is determined to prove its resilience. Production on television shows has begun ramping back up. And professional guilds are rethinking their strategies for the 2025 awards season. The business of Hollywood is moving forward, largely with a respectful eye toward to the victims and continued threats of the fires.

Is it frivolous to also discuss the red carpet in this moment? Some may think so. But like every element of the entertainment industry, the red carpet is a business relied upon by creatives: stylists, hair and makeup artists,...

The grand return of Shrek will have to wait a little longer. Universal Pictures has pushed back the release of Shrek 5, which will now open on December 23, 2026, instead of July 1, 2025.

Jeremy Renner & Amy Adams Laugh Riot ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Denis Villeneuve’s critically acclaimed sci-fi drama Arrival, released in 2016, treated viewers with an emotionally resonant yet challenging story of humanity’s first encounter with extraterrestrial life. Starring Amy Adams as linguist Louise Banks and Jeremy Renner as physicist Ian Donnelly, Arrival became a landmark achievement in the genre and marked a turning point in the Dune director’s career.

Ironically, the central conflict observed in Arrival — linguistic barriers to communicating with a diverse species — wasn’t limited to the movie’s script but found its way to the production, albeit not so much as emotionally but humorously. During the promotional tour of Arrival, Adams and Renner appeared on The Graham Norton Show, where they delighted the audience with hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes about working with Villeneuve.

Host Graham Norton introduced Villeneuve’s French-Canadian background, wondering that since his first language is French,...
