    Ryan Reynolds Jokes About Manipulating Disney Into Agreeing to 'Deadpool 3' R-Rating

    20th Century Fox

    The Merc with the Mouth depicter has a ‘full disclosure’ moment after Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirms that the ‘Deadpool 2’ sequel will be part of MCU and rated R.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Ryan Reynolds has spoken up after “Deadpool 3” is confirmed to be part of Marvel Cinematic Universe and have a R-rating. Deciding to get honest, the Canadian actor has admitted that he pulled some tricks in order to get Disney’s bosses greenlight the threequel.
    In his true sarcastic and comedic fashion, the Merc with the Mouth depicter joked on Twitter on Monday, January 11 that in order to get approval for “Deadpool 3”, “I showed them Spiderman 1 & 2 and told them it was Deadpool 1 & 2.”

    Ryan Reynolds joked about getting Disney’s approval for ‘Deadpool 3′ R-rating.
    Reynolds also took to Instagram to respond to the news of “Deadpool 3” update. Revealing his idea for the upcoming movie’s storyline, he jokingly pitched a crossover with a beloved character of Disney’s classic children’s animation, Bambi, as he posted, “First order of business: Find the guy who killed Bambi’s mom.”

    Feige answered fans’ long-burning question about “Deadpool 3” rating during an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub. “It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now,” he said.
    Revealing that sisters Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are currently writing the script, he went on sharing, “It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.”
    Disney’s Bob Iger previously committed to keep the adult humor nature of “Deadpool” while talking with investors. “[‘Deadpool’] clearly has been and will be Marvel branded. But we think there might be an opportunity for a Marvel-R brand for something like ‘Deadpool’. As long as we let the audiences know what’s coming, we think we can manage that fine,” he promised.

    'Morbius' Delayed Again as Theatergoing Continues to Struggle Amid COVID-19 Crisis

    Sony Pictures

    The Sony and Marvel superhero film starring Jared Leto as the titular character is pushed back seven months after previously moved from July 2020 to March 2021.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “Morbius” fans now have to wait a little longer for the first live-action big screen adaptation of the Marvel superhero. Initially planned for a July 2020 release before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, the Sony and Marvel film is once again pushed back to October 8 as theatergoing continues to suffer from the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
    Back in April 2020, Sony Pictures bumped the release date of “Morbius” along with several other movies from their summer schedule due to the pandemic. The Daniel Espinosa-directed film starring Jared Leto was expected to arrive in March 19, but the current situation suggests it’s not feasible to restore the movie industry in less than three months.

    Other studios have also taken the same steps with their movies which were previously scheduled to open in early 2021, though there are still a few titles on the calendar for the first few months of the year. They include Sony’s new take on “Cinderella (2021)” starring Camila Cabello, which is due out on February 5, and Disney and 20th Century’s “The King’s Man” slated for March 12 release. It’s unclear if both studios will keep these movies’ current release dates.
    “Morbius” is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Leto stars as Michael Morbius, a scientist suffering from a rare blood disease since his early childhood. “Determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease,” according to the official synopsis.
    Adria Arjona stars as Martine Bancroft, Morbius’s fiancee, Tyrese Gibson portrays Simon Stroud, an FBI agent tasked with hunting down Morbius, and Al Madrigal takes the role of Alberto Rodriguez, Stroud’s FBI partner. Michael Keaton is additionally set to reprise his “Spider-Man: Homecoming” role as Vulture.

    'The Bachelor' Recap: Matt James 'Overwhelmed' by Victoria and Marylnn's Fight

    ABC

    The new outing of the ABC dating show kicks off with a one-on-one date between Matt and Bri, one of the frontrunners in season 25 as they enjoy riding ATVs.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” aired an all-new episode on Monday, January 11, marking the second week of new Bachelor Matt James’ journey of finding love. The new outing kicked off with a one-on-one date between Matt and Bri, one of the frontrunners in season 25, as they enjoyed riding ATVs.
    The two followed it up with a picnic before spending time together in a woodfire hot tub. They opened up to each other, telling that they were grateful for this moment. Matt also told Bri that he was looking forward to spending time with her. During the dinner date, Bri revealed to Matt that she was raised by a single mom and she felt alone when she found out that her mom was pregnant with her secret fiance.
    Matt also opened up about his past to Bri. “I’m trying to do things differently. The way you opened up tonight and how adventurous you were on the date, that’s attractive to me,” he told her before presenting her with a rose, saying, “Bri, will you accept this rose?”
    Meanwhile, Victoria was jealous because she didn’t get to spend time alone with Matt. The other women didn’t seem comfortable with the “negative” vibe that Victoria was giving off. “I think I’m authentic and real,” Victoria told the women, before saying that her roommate Marylynn was rude to her.
    The next day, Chelsea, Serena P., Abigal, Sydney, Illeana, Kristin, Lauren, Jessenia, Serena C., Kit, Kaili, Khalah, Mari, Piper, Rachel and Victoria were up for the group date. They were given 10 minutes to pick out a wedding dress to be photographed in with Matt.
    After a photo session, host Chris Harrison tested the ladies with a game named “Capture the Heart” in which they had to tag each other with accessories dipped in paint as they were split into two teams. Things were nasty and messy with Kit and Khaylah falling.
    Matt and the women later headed to their locale for the night part of the date. He had one-on-one time with Lauren and Jessenia, the latter of whom told him that she’s dealt with infidelity. “To put my heart on the line is really overwhelming,” she admitted. Matt later assured Jessenia that he would never cheat on her before they shared a kiss. At the end of the group date, Matt gave the group date rose to Lauren.

    Next was another one-on-one date with Sarah. She was nervous, and maybe it was why she failed to open up to Matt. “I had a great time with Sarah today, but I could tell Sarah was struggling with something. She’s slow getting started, but I need her to be open and vulnerable, because I’ve already had other women being authentic and real, and that’s what I’m looking for,” Matt shared in confessional.
    “It’s not easy opening up about something so personal to me,” she said. “I know it’s super hard to be away from home. I am such a private person… it’s so hard for me to open up. I want to share this with you.”
    She then told Matt that her father was diagnosed with ALS when she was in college. “Mentally, you’re completely the same person, but you slowly lose the ability to speak and to walk and to talk,” she said. “There is no cure for it, and the life expectancy is two to five years.”
    “Mentally, you’re completely the same person, but you slowly lose the ability to speak and to walk and to talk,” she continued. “There is no cure for it, and the life expectancy is two to five years.” Matt then vowed to her that he would be someone she wants to be with. They kissed and Matt presented her with a rose. They ended the night with some romantic time in the pool.
    Later at the cocktail party, Marylynn and Victoria were fighting. “Marylynn was my roommate… she just like, cries to manipulate situations and she’s straight up toxic. I had to sleep on the couch temporarily… it was crazy,” she told Matt, who was “overwhelmed” by the fight.
    When being confronted, Marylynn told Matt, “I mean, I’m not usually one to involve myself in drama, but I’m here to be with you. At this point, I feel like I need to defend myself. She’s jeopardizing my time with you, and that’s not OK with me. I’m telling you the honest truth, Matt.”
    It was then time for the rose ceremony. Pieper, Kit, Magi and Rachael got a rose from Matt. He continued giving the roses to Abigail, Chelsea, Jessenia, Katie and Serena C. Later, Sarah felt unconscious, saying, “I’m blacking out. I can’t see.” Viewers can only find out what happens in next week’s episode.

    'Crazy Rich Asians' Director Steps Away From 'Willow' to Prepare for Third Child's Birth

    WENN/Brian To

    Originally signed on to tackle the pilot and serve as executive producer on the Disney Plus series, Jon M. Chu expresses his heartbreak for no longer being able to commit to the adaptation project.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Director Jon M. Chu has pulled out of plans to direct the TV adaptation of cult movie, “Willow” because production will clash with the arrival of his third child.
    The “Crazy Rich Asians” filmmaker originally signed on to tackle the pilot and serve as executive producer on the Disney+ series in October, but filming has been delayed as a result of the latest U.K. coronavirus lockdown, and now Chu can no longer commit to the project.
    In a statement released on Monday, January 11, he wrote, “I’m heartbroken to let you all know that I unfortunately have to step away from directing Willow.”
    “With the production schedule moving due to continued lockdowns in the UK, and with a new baby coming this summer (surprise!), the timing is just not going to work out for me and my family.”

    Chu went on to admit he was “devastated” he was unable to work on the revamp of one of his “favorite movies” from his childhood, which even inspired his three-year-old daughter’s name, but he added, “Like a kid seeing Willow for the first time in the ’80s, I will look forward to watching this magical new world unfold as a very enthusiastic fan.”

    The upcoming adaptation of “Willow” will be based on Ron Howard’s beloved 1988 film from a story by George Lucas. It starred Warwick Davis as a farmer who helps protect a baby from an evil queen, who vows to destroy the world.
    In addition to little Willow, Chu and his wife, Kristin Hodge, are also parents to a one-year-old son, named Jonathan.

    Sarah Jessica Parker Rules Out Recasting Kim Cattrall's Role in 'Sex and the City' Reboot

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The Carrie Bradshaw depicter tells her fans that the role originally played by Kim Cattrall won’t be recast in the upcoming reboot because she’s isn’t part of the new story.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Sarah Jessica Parker has insisted Kim Cattrall’s role in “Sex and the City” won’t be recast.
    The actress – who plays Carrie Bradshaw in the infamous television series – is set to return to the programme as it makes its revival under the name, “And Just Like That…”
    And when one fan suggested Samantha Jones, who was originally played by Kim, should be recast as Jennifer Coolidge, Sarah told the follower, “We have some new stories to tell. We are excited.”
    One fan claimed Samantha won’t return because Sarah didn’t like Kim but she denied a feud.
    She replied, “No, I don’t dislike her. I’ve never said that. Never would. Samantha isn’t part of this story. But she will always be part of us. No matter where we are or what we do. X (sic)”
    And another follower admitted she would miss Kim and her character, which Sarah agreed.

    “We will too, we loved her so,” she responded.
    Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda Hobbes, and Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York Goldenblatt, are also set to return for the 10 episodes on HBO Max alongside Sarah as Carrie.
    The revival is due to enter production in late spring and is executive produced by Michael Patrick King.
    Despite the “Divorce” star’s statements, Kim first publicly spoke of her feud with Sarah Jessica three years ago, when she insisted she wasn’t “friends” with any of her Sex and the City co-stars, including Kristin and Cynthia.
    She said at the time, “We’ve never been friends. We’ve been colleagues and, in some ways, it’s a very healthy place to be.”
    The “Filthy Rich” star then said she didn’t know what Sarah Jessica’s “problem” was before later slamming her as “toxic” and “cruel.”
    Kim also blasted Sarah Jessica for reaching out to her following the death of her brother Chris Cattrall, who died in February 2018.

    'Bridgerton' Star Rege-Jean Page Reacts to James Bond Rumors

    Instagram

    The ‘For the People’ actor is flattered to be linked to the James Bond movie following his role on the Netflix period drama as he considers it a ‘merit badge.’

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page has put an end to rumours of a romance with his “Bridgerton” co-star Phoebe Dynevor.
    The pair star as Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix period drama, which has been a massive hit worldwide since its release. Their intimate relationship on screen has led to speculation they might be an item in real life, but Page was quick to shoot down the rumours during an interview with Access Hollywood.
    “I think that everything you need to know is on camera,” he laughed. “The sparky words, scripts and material are more than enough.”

    Page’s admission about his relationship with Phoebe came after he also opened up about reports he’s in the running to take over from Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, after bookmakers’ odds were slashed for him to take on the part.
    “I think there might be an element of cultural translation to be done here,” he said. “Like if you’re a Brit, and you do something of any kind of renown, that people regard well, then people start saying the ‘B’ word (Bond). It’s like a merit badge, you get the ‘B’ word merit badge.”
    “But I don’t think it’s much more than that. I’m very, very glad to have the badge. I’m glad to be in such wonderful company of people who have the badge. But it’s a badge.”
    The new TV series is produced by Shonda Rhimes. It’s one of her projects for Netflix following her departure from ABC after working for the Alphabet for 15 years.

    'Black Panther 2' to Explore Other Characters and Different Subcultures

    Walt Disney Pictures

    According to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, the upcoming second ‘Black Panther’ movie will focus on other characters while also honoring and respecting Chadwick Boseman’s legacy.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Kevin Feige has insisted “Black Panther 2” “always” intended to focus on other characters.
    The Marvel Studios boss confirmed the upcoming sequel will not feature CGI footage of the late Chadwick Boseman – who died of cancer last August (20) – nor would his role as T’Challa be recast, but stressed that the focus on the film was never intended to be on his character.
    “So much of the comics and that first movie is the world of Wakanda,” he told Deadline. “Wakanda is a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story. We’re not going to have a CG Chadwick and we’re not recasting T’Challa.”

      See also…

    Kevin went on to praise writer-and-director Ryan Coogler for his “genius” work and, while the late actor won’t feature in the movie, he promised the film will also “honour and respect” Chadwick’s legacy.
    “Ryan Coogler is working very hard right now on the script with all the respect and love and genius that he has, which gives us great solace, so it was always about furthering the mythology and the inspiration of Wakanda,” he continued. “There’s also the task of honouring and respecting the ongoing learnings and teachings from Chad as well.”
    The sequel will see the return of familiar faces like Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, and Letitia Wright.
    Other details of the project are still scarce, but words ran rampant on the internet that Marvel considered passing the torch to M’Baku who’s played by Winston Duke in the first film. The warrior protested T’Challa being the new king in the 2018 movie.
