    Sep 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Riverdale” fans are threatening to boycott the drama if KJ Apa’s character is killed off.
    A new promo image featuring the show’s Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones standing over a grave has concerned devotees, who fear it’s a sign that Apa’s Archie Andrews will die during season five.
    But the image ties in with a storyline from the Archie comics, in which the Andrews is presumed dead.
    However, fans aren’t impressed by the image – the first released since filming resumed in Vancouver, Canada following the COVID-19 shutdown.
    One has tweeted: “If Archie’s dies I’ll stop watching Riverdale.”

    A fan threatened to boycott ‘Riverdale’.
    And another adds: “Do we have to ‘fall’ for Archie being dead now after the Jughead story in last season? Exhausting.”

    A fan questioned over Archie Andrews’ fate in season 5 of ‘Riverdale’.
    During season four, Cole Sprouse’s character Jones was presumed dead.
    Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart recently confirmed that season five would include a seven-year time jump for the characters.
    “I’m really psyched about it,” she told chat show host Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”. “I think it’ll be nice to play an adult…”.

    Emma Corrin on 'The Crown' Role: I Get a Great Sense of Companionship From Princess Diana

    WENN/FayesVision

    Speaking about her portrayal of the tragic royal on the the hit drama, the 24-year-old actress recalls the reaction she got when she wore a replica of the royal’s iconic wedding dress.
    Sep 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actress Emma Corrin spent so long researching Princess Diana for her new role as the tragic royal in “The Crown”, she felt like her friend.
    The 24-year-old will be introduced as Diana in the upcoming season of the hit drama, and she tells British Vogue she has done her homework.
    “I feel I’ve got to know Diana like you would a friend,” Emma explains. “I know that sounds really weird, but I get a great sense of companionship from her. I suppose, over time, you kind of start to patch together a sense of empathy and a sense of understanding. I love figuring people out.”

    Corrin was thrust into the royal role by filming scenes of Diana in her iconic wedding dress, designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel.
    “The Emanuels, who designed the original, gave us the patterns, and then it was made for me,” the actress shares. “We were filming the scene when you first see her in the wedding dress… and I had a team of about 10 people helping me put it on, because it’s massive. I walked out and everyone went completely silent.”

    Jason Momoa Stands With Ray Fisher Amid His Allegations Against Joss Whedon

    The ‘Aquaman’ actor takes to Instagram Stories to show his support for his ‘Justice League’ co-star after Warner Bros. claims that the Cyborg depicter refuses to co-operate in a misconduct investigation into the director.
    Sep 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Those who fight together are staying together. Jason Momoa has shown his loyalty to his “Justice League” co-star Ray Fisher amid the latter’s allegations against Joss Whedon, who took over the helming duty from Zack Snyder for the 2017 movie.
    On Monday, September 7, the “Aquaman”actor took to his Instagram Stories to declare his support for Fisher. Posting a photo of the Cyborg depicter wearing an “I [heart] ZS” at a San Diego Comic-Con panel, the 41-year-old hunk wrote over it, “#IstandWithRayFisher.”
    Fisher then reposted Momoa’s Story on his Twitter account. Expressing his enthusiasm, the 32-year-old actor wrote in the caption, “Let’s Go!!! #BORGLIFE.” He added, “Accountability >Entertainment.”

    Ray Fisher reposted Jason Momoa’s Instagram Story.
    Fisher first opened up about his grievances against Whedon in July, accusing the filmmaker of “abusive and unprofessional” behavior on the set of the superhero ensemble film. He also alleged that producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg enabled Whedon’s behavior.
    Weeks later, Warner Bros. launched an investigation into Fisher’s claims. However, according to a statement released by studio executives earlier this month, Fisher has not been cooperating with an independent third party investigator, who was hired at his request.
    According to the statement, Fisher’s disappointment started when he had disagreements with the film’s creative team regarding his portrayal of Cyborg, and complained that his suggested script revisions were not adopted. “WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator,” the studio execs said.
    They went on claiming, “This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator.”
    Fisher denied that he has been uncooperative in the investigation, claiming, “I met with the investigator via Zoom on Aug 26th.” He also called WB’s claims against him a “desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power.”
    In his Twitter post, Fisher included an email he sent to his team in which he said that he ended the interview early because he felt he needed to consult with his team before proceeding with the call. He added, “It’s also worth noting that I made it clear to the world on Aug 21st that I would be vetting the investigator to ensure a fair and protected process for all witnesses. @wbpictures has escalated this to an entirely different level, but I’m ready to meet the challenge.”

    Ming-Na Wen Lets Slips Which 'Mulan' Role She Had to Give Up Due to 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

    Walt Disney Pictures

    Though forced to turn down the month-long job because of her work commitment, the actress voicing Mulan in the 1998 movie reveals how director Niki Caro secured her involvement in the remake.
    Sep 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ming-Na Wen’s role in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” cost her a much bigger part in Disney’s “Mulan” remake.
    The actress, who voiced Mulan in the 1998 animated movie, surprised fans over the weekend – when the live-action blockbuster was finally released on streaming site Disney+ – by making a cameo at the end of the film, but she reveals she was offered a much bigger part.
    “I was going to be the potential mother-in-law for the matchmaker scene,” she tells the New York Times.
    But she had to turn down the job because she couldn’t commit to a month-long shoot.
    “They (Disney bosses) needed me to be out there for a month just in case,” she explains, adding her “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” TV producers wouldn’t let her be out of action for so long.
    “(They) just threw up their hands (and said), ‘We can’t lose you for a month!’ ” Ming-Na adds. “I totally understood, and I’m always very Zen about this stuff. I said, ‘Look, if it was meant to be, it was meant to be. We all tried, and it’s too bad.’ ”
    But director Niki Caro refused to pass up the chance to work with the original Mulan and came up with another idea.
    “(They) came up with this great idea, where instead of shooting an entire scene, I’d just make a cameo at the very end to announce Mulan to the emperor,” the actress reveals. “I thought that was very appropriate and just wonderful, a little Easter egg where I could pass the baton. And this time, they only needed me there for a week. So it all worked out!”

    Zendaya and Emily Blunt Among Fan-Cast List for 'Game of Thrones' Prequel 'House of the Dragon'

    WENN/Instar/FayesVision

    Other suggestions for cast members of the upcoming series, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s book ‘Fire and Blood’, are Florence Pugh, Timothee Chalamet and Alexander Skarsgard.
    Sep 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” started its casting process in July. According to leaked information, the producers are looking for actors to play Alicent Hightower, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen among others. While waiting for official announcement for the cast, fans share their dreamcast.
    Among the cast suggestions for the upcoming series, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood”, are Emily Blunt, Zendaya Coleman, Florence Pugh and Alexander Skarsgard. Fans also want to see Timothee Chalamet, Adam Driver and Justin Theroux playing on the show.
    Fans believe that Emily would be great playing Lady Alicent Hightower, one of the two power-hungry characters. She is the second wife of King Viserys Targaryen I and trying hard to put her own children on the Iron Throne instead of Princess Rhaenyra, Viserys’ daughter from his previous marriage.
    As for Rhaenyra, fans think that Florence would fit the character, who is described as a fierce dragon rider. Other names that are among suggestions for the character are Jessica De Gouw, Katheryn Winnick and Holliday Grainger.
    “True Blood” alum Alexander, meanwhile, is suggested to play Daemon Targaryen. “Call Me by Your Name” star Timothee is being recommended to play Aemond “One-Eye” Targaryen. Timothee playing Aemond is such a nice idea because he’s around the right age for Aemond.
    Fans also mention Zendaya as someone who is suitable to play Nettles, one of the few non-white characters who are expected to be featured on the show. She is a common girl who will tame the wildest dragon alive at the time, known as Sheepstealer.
    Adam and Justin, meanwhile, are suggested to portray Criston Cole and Cregan Stark respectively. Criston is alleged love interest for Princess Rhaenyra. As for Cregan, he is one Stark who plays a dramatic role in the Targaryen civil war.
    “House of the Dragon” is set to begin filming in Europe in January of 2021, eyeing a 2022 premiere on HBO.

    'RHOP': Ashley Darby Confronts Husband for Allegedly Claiming He Has BF at a Strip Club

    Instagram

    In a preview of upcoming episode, Ashley confronts her husband Michael Darby about allegedly going to a strip club while she was on a cast trip at Monique Samuels’ lake house.
    Sep 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bravo has released a preview for upcoming episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac”. In the video, cast member Ashley Darby is seen confronting her husband Michael Darby about allegedly going to a strip club while she was on a cast trip at Monique Samuels’ lake house.
    “Candiace brings this text to me, saying that you were saying things about how you have a boyfriend and a wife,” Ashley tells Michael while having dinner at a restaurant. “Was there any truth to that?”
    Michael denies the allegations. However, he does admit that something happened. “Something happened at the casino,” Michael shares to Ashley before the video ends.
    In the Sunday, September 6 episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac”, Candiace Dillard told Gizelle Bryant, “A good friend of mine texted me — she says: ‘Your girl’ baby daddy was out at the strip club last night.’ ” Gizelle then asked, “Whose baby daddy?” before Candiace showed her a photo of what appeared to be Michael.
    “Oh!” Gizelle responded. The text also allegedly read, “My girl is a bartender at the strip club and I came to see her. [Michael] was there with several strippers. He was talking about how he has a boyfriend and a wife. … He was asking who he could take to a hotel nearby.”
    During her confessional, Gizelle said, “I pray to God that this is all just like a lie, this is an exaggeration, ’cause Ashley’s been gone for seven minutes. Like she just left.”
    Candiace was in dilemma due to the sticky situation. She had to tell Ashley about this information but it might ruin her friendship with Ashley. “You and Ashley just became friends,” Gizelle noted.
    Candiace and Gizelle later joined the rest of the women out for dinner. Monique asked Ashley how Michael was doing at home, to which Ashley responded, “I think they had a little boys night after the dinner last night.”
    “I have to tell Ashley. Your husband is in these streets and you need to know,” Candiace said in a confessional interview. Later, she appeared to be trying to tell Ashley as she said, “Um… Ashley…,” before the episode ended.
    “The Real Housewives of Potomac” air on Sundays at 9 P.M. on Bravo.

    Yoson An Divulges Long Process to Land Coveted Role in 'Mulan'

    Walt Disney Pictures

    The Macanese-New Zealander actor reveals he thought he had failed to nab the role of Chen Hongui in Disney’s live-adaptation remake after he didn’t hear back in one year.
    Sep 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Actor Yoson An had to wait almost two years to learn if he’d won the role of Chen Hongui in Disney’s “Mulan” remake.
    During an interview with The Laughing Place, the star revealed the lengthy process from when he first heard about the live-action movie, which is now streaming on Disney+, to securing the coveted role.
    “I think it was back in 2015, or even late 2014, when I heard through the grapevine that Niki (Caro) was set to direct this, and I was walking back home one day, scrolling through my phone, I was like, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I was involved in this film?’ ” Yoson revealed.
    “Fast forward to 2016, I did the tape, put it down, sent it through, and I didn’t hear back for a whole year.”
    Yoson was convinced he hadn’t done enough to impress, explaining, “After a couple months, I’m like, ‘I didn’t get this. There’s no way I got this…’ But then literally a year later I get an email from my agent going, ‘Hey, remember that tape you put down a year ago? Disney wants to see you again.’ ”
    Yoson met Niki and casting director Debra Zane over Skype and then was flown to Los Angeles for an in-person audition.
    “I didn’t hear back for another nine months,” he laughed. “One day, I sat down at my agent’s office, and my lovely coach, Mike, sat down with me, and he was like, ‘You got it, bud. You got it.’ And I was like, ‘Really? Really?’ And everything just started unfolding from there. Bit of a long story.”
    “Mulan”, which stars Liu Yifei as the titular heroine, premiered in Hollywood in March but a wider theatrical release has been repeatedly delayed due to the coronavirus crisis.
    The movie is now available to view on Disney+ in countries where the streaming service is available, including the U.S. and U.K.
