Amidst all the things that are happening across the globe at the moment, the latest hard-hitting news that has emerged is the news about how Princess Kate is suffering from an early stage of cancer. But before this, the internet was met with Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel, all trying their own methods of relaying this information.

While at the time they didn’t know the reasons why the Princess of Wales had not been making any appearances for the past several weeks, they still tried to inform their audience about this in a comical manner that crossed a line, which Piers Morgan and Megyn Kelly let them know.

Actor and recent Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. is known for his decade-long role as Iron Man in the MCU. The actor laid the foundations for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside director Jon Favreau and producer Kevin Feige. The film is largely credited with having changed how superhero films were perceived in Hollywood.
Downey Jr.’s off-screen persona often includes a self-aware yet inflated sense of ego. However, even he set it aside to name James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy as the best film in the franchise. The Oppenheimer star mentioned how he was surprised by how great the film was, with relatively unknown characters, and ended up being so important for the MCU.

Robert Downey Jr.’s ultimate sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame is one of the most important scenes in the entirety of the MCU. We have never truly felt the weight of death in this cinematic universe before the end of Tony Stark. According to Kevin Feige, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine’s iconic and emotional end in 2017’s Logan convinced the makers to chalk out something similar for Iron Man.
Tony Stark’s sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame
Although Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow faced her end even before Tony Stark, 2021’s Black Widow proved to be her swansong in the superhero universe. Many people may argue over the nature of her return in Black Widow but it can’t be denied that Robert Downey Jr.’s final snapping scene with the iconic “I Am Iron Man” dialogue still hit hard.

This year’s races for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were over before they started. Robert Downey Jr. in “Oppenheimer” and Da’Vine Joy Randolph in “The Holdovers” took leads in the Gold Derby odds in their respective categories early in the season. They both went on to pick up Golden Globe, Critics Choice, BAFTA and SAG Awards. By the time the Oscars rolled around, there was a “near zero” chance of either of them losing.
In contrast, the lead acting contests provided considerably more suspense. Bradley Cooper in “Maestro,” Paul Giamatti in “The Holdovers” and Cillian Murphy in “Oppenheimer” were all looking strong at different point in the derby, before Murphy really exploded and ultimately won the Best Actor Oscar. And Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Emma Stone in “Poor Things” kept trading the top spot in the Best Actress odds. Gladstone finally reclaimed...

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two has been regarded as the filmmaker’s masterpiece and has been reigning at the box office since its release earlier in March. With $577 million at the global box office, the film has become the highest-grossing film of the year. Based on Frank Herbert’s novel series, the film starred Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya in lead roles.
While most critics and fans have been applauding Villeneuve’s vision for the sci-fi epic, there have been criticisms of the movie regarding its depiction of people hailing from Mena backgrounds. Critics noted the absence of significant members of Middle Eastern and North African descent in speaking roles, despite the films being inspired heavily by the cultures of the region and people.

Remember Baz Luhrmann’s early 2000 film about romance and music in Paris? Yes, we are referring to the 2001 release of the jukebox musical Moulin Rouge!, which film critic Roger Ebert once likened to “being trapped on an elevator with the circus”.
In the 2001 flick, we saw English writer Christian (Ewan McGregor) pen his love story on his typewriter as he mourned the loss of his beloved Satine (Nicole Kidman). You may not be aware, though, that multiple actors tried out for the role of Christian but were not selected. Among them were Leonardo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger, and Jake Gyllenhaal; Ethan Hawke was also considered for the part.

Post-strike, stars like Hunter Schafer, decked out in ethereal Prada as styled by Dara, came back shining more brightly than ever at the Golden Globes. And who doesn’t love a Hollywood icon comeback?

Stakeholders in Hollywood have long pulled in audiences for their IP-based franchises by making major actors reprise their iconic roles after decades. This makes sense as most of these reprisals are actually also demanded by their respective audiences. This phenomenon transcends mere casting choices — as the main goal with such big returns is to take viewers into a realm where nostalgia meets the relentless march of time. Think how badly MCU fans want Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) or Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) to return to the MCU now somehow. It’s emotional and takes us back to the good

Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man was the McU's riskiest but most perfect casting choice. Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds, and Chris Evans were actors simply perfectly cast for their roles. Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad shined through as a standout success.

The McU's casting has been constantly praised over the years. Marvel has had the good fortune of very rarely missing with its actor choices, and even when the studio had to recast certain roles, the new actors perfectly suited their characters and contributed to some of the McU's best films.

Marvel expands Ironheart's backstory in the MCU by revealing how Tony Stark's technology influenced Riri Williams.
Fans could only assume that Riri Williams met Tony Stark before Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the film that passed Iron Man's torch and legacy to Ironheart. Both characters didn't have the chance to share scenes in the film (which takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame), but there was also no mention of Stark's direct influence over Williams to explain the latter's knowledge to build her first Mark armor. Thankfully Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - The Art of the Movie book sheds light on this (via The Direct), confirming what audiences suspected – that Riri Williams was aware of and influenced by Tony Stark's work.

Rdj & Gwyneth Paltrow's real conversations influenced Iron Man's dialogue, showing the importance of their chemistry in the movie's success. Iron Man's success played a crucial role in establishing the MCU and paved the way for Disney's acquisition of Marvel Studios. Favreau's innovative approach to writing dialogue and the right cast choice were key factors in Iron Man's impact on shaping the MCU as we know it today.
Iron Man director Jon Favreau recently revealed his trick for writing dialogue in the first MCU movie, and his method showed just how important it was that the movie had the right cast. It may be hard to remember, given what an icon Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark became, but at the time Iron Man seemed like a big risk. Iron Man wasn't as popular as heroes like Spider-Man, and Robert Downey Jr. had only recently started his acting comeback.

A suit-up scene in Armor Wars would be the perfect way to show how the real Rhodey is back in action after being replaced by a Skrull.

The Current Debate is a column that connects the dots between great writing about a topic in the wider film conversation.Oppenheimer.“If there’s a sense of disconnect between what’s on stage and the outside world,” Alison Willmore writes of the 96th Academy Awards in Vulture, “Hollywood’s always declared itself the kingdom of dreams.” That might well be true, but the ceremony’s ostrichlike indifference toward some of the issues dominating global headlines this year felt especially jarring. While pro-Palestine protesters outside the theater blocked traffic and held signs with messaging like, “What good is art that ignores genocide,” only Jonathan Glazer, director of the Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest (all films 2023 unless otherwise noted), which was crowned Best International Film, dared to address the bloodshed in Gaza and Israel.

The deal follows a one-off arrangement with CBS and Paramount+ for the 2024 show and ends a period of uncertainty over who might become the ceremony’s regular broadcast partner.
The show went off air in 2022 after former longtime broadcaster NBC withdrew in the wake of an LA Times exposé alleging financial impropriety and a lack of diversity at former Globes organisation Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
The Times report triggered a fundamental review and restructure of the Globes.

She says, ‘No, it’s actually The Springs period. The Springs is the part of the Hamptons where Jackson Pollock lived and worked, not spring, not the season.’”

After taking an extended break from acting, Jennifer Lawrence marked her return to showbiz with Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up, which starred several high-profile actors. Among them included an elated Timothée Chalamet, who was coming off to sets after spending 14 days by himself in the quarantine, as Covid was far from over when the production for the film kickstarted.
However, it seems his excitement got the better of him during his first day on the set, as Lawrence recalled being annoyed by the Wonka Star’s excessive enthusiasm.

The Hulk is one of the strongest superheroes in the Marvel Universe. With sheer brute strength and rising anger, the green machine can take on any threat head-first. That is one of the reasons why many of the Avengers or the Illuminati call upon the Hulk whenever there is a particularly powerful threat, especially when it comes to Thanos.
The Hulk and the Mad Titan have fought a few times in the comics, although their hand-to-hand combats have been few and far between. Fans got to see a taste of their fight in Avengers: Infinity War as well. However, the recent comics see a much different outcome than in the film. In the ongoing Thanos (2023) comic book series, Hulk and Thanos face off against each other.

Keanu Reeves is a great fit for various MCU characters. However, he has expressed his reluctance to signing the long-term contracts Marvel Studios used to require. Reeves' passion for motorcycles and stuntwork, as well as his experience playing tough and deadly characters, make him the perfect actor for Ghost Rider. Marvel no longer requires MCU actors to sign strict multi-movie contracts, which could allow Keanu Reeves to play Ghost Rider every once in a while.
John Wick star Keanu Reeves could be a great casting choice for a certain MCU character, but the actor may not be joining the franchise soon.

He was almost always joined by Gwyneth Patrow's Pepper Potts, his initial assistant, later Stark Industries CEO, wife, and mother of his child. The two had amazing chemistry and an easygoing relationship, and it might've stemmed directly from Downey Jr. and Paltrow's real-life dynamics.
