      Setting the record straight about whether he will appear in the next ‘Spider-Man’ movie, the former Spidey depicter claims that he ‘did not get a call’ from the producers.

      May 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Andrew Garfield has made it clear that he won’t appear in “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, at least, not for now. Responding to speculations suggesting him and fellow former Spidey Tobey Maguire might be suiting up alongside Tom Holland in the upcoming movie, the “Under the Silver Lake” actor laughed off the rumors, saying “it’s f**king hilarious.”

      The 37-year-old star set the record straight when speaking to Josh Horowitz on his “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “It’s f**king hilarious to me,” he stated. “Because I do have this Twitter account, and I see how often Spider-Man is trending. It’s people freaking out about a thing, and I’m just like, guys. Guys. I wish I could just be able to speak to everyone and say, ‘I recommend that you chill.’ ”

      Andrew went on to stress that many people did not believe him. He argued, “I feel like I’m in a game of f**king Werewolf, where I say ‘I’m not the werewolf, I promise you I am not.’ And everyone is like, ‘You’re the f**king werewolf, it’s him!’ ”

      “I did not get a call,” the ex-boyfriend of Emma Stone continued. “I would’ve gotten a call by now. That’s what I’ll say. I don’t want to rule anything out. Maybe they want to call me. Maybe they want to call me and say, ‘Hey, people want this.’ ”

      Rumors about Andrew and Tobey’s potential appearances in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” emerged months prior. Tom, meanwhile, already addressed the long-running speculation in February. “Beats me, I don’t know. If they are, they haven’t told me yet…,” he joked in an interview for Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “That would be something that Marvel would do. I watch the film and be like ‘So that’s who that tennis ball was!’ ”

      Andrew originally portrayed Peter Parker or Spidey in 2012’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” and reprised his role in 2014’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”. Since then, Tom has taken over the superhero character.

      Ted Cruz Roasted for His Jason Bourne-Standard in Criticizing CIA's Inclusive Recruitment Ad

      by

      The Texas senator becomes the subject of mockery after commenting on the agency’s ad by claiming that CIA agents have ‘come a long way from’ Matt Damon’s fictional character.

      May 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Ted Cruz has become the butt of the joke after slamming CIA’s recruitment ad. The Texas senator attempted to criticize the agency’s message with the ad by comparing its agents to Jason Bourne, but it has since backfired.

      The ad in question celebrates diversity and inclusivity as it highlights a female cisgender agent of color. In the said ad that Cruz reposted on Twitter, the CIA agent describes herself as saying, “I am a woman of color. I am a cisgender millennial. I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I am intersectional.”

      Unimpressed Cruz then weighed in on it, writing along with the video, “If you’re a Chinese communist, or an Iranian Mullah, or Kim Jong Un…would this scare you?” He added, “We’ve come a long way from Jason Bourne.”

      Ted Cruz criticized CIA’s recruitment ad.

      It didn’t take long for other Twitter users to mock the Republican politician over his comment on the ad, pointing out that Jason Bourne is a fictional character. “Jason Bourne is a fictional character, Ted. He doesn’t scare the boogeymen, and neither did you,” one person reacted to Cruz’s post.

      Another asked the senator, “You know jason bourne wasn’t real right?” A third one similarly remarked, “You know Jason Bourne is fictional, right? The CIA has to recruit real people. Resign.” Someone else reminded him, “Senator, Jason Bourne is a fictional character. The CIA has real people in it who do real work on behalf of our nation. Celebrate the reality of those who serve.”

      “If a secret agent scares the people they are trying to spy on, isn’t that counterproductive, Senator?” one person argued, before adding, “(Jason Bourne is fiction, btw.)” Another added, “Jason Bourne ? We’ve had enough fiction from the Republican Party.”

      This isn’t the first time Cruz makes a Jason Bourne reference when criticizing law enforcement agency. Back in 2019, he blasted the FBI’s and the Department of Justice’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation by comparing it to Matt Damon’s character in the “Bourne” movie series. “What was going on here — this wasn’t Jason Bourne, this was Beavis and Butt-Head,” he said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

      See Mark Wahlberg's Shocking Transformation After Gaining 20 Lbs. in 3 Weeks for 'Father Stu' Role

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ actor shares a before and after picture to compare his previously ripped physique to his now fuller figure after vowing to indulge in his favorite food.

      May 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Mark Wahlberg, who is known for his strict diet, has lost the result of all his gym sessions. The actor has just uncovered his shocking transformation after intentionally gaining weight for his next movie role in “Father Stu”.

      Taking to his Instagram page on Monday, May 3, the 49-year-old shared a before and after picture to compare his previously ripped physique to his now fuller figure after gaining 20 lbs. in just three weeks, all in the name of acting. In the left snap, he grinned as he showed off his chiseled abs and chest, while on the right side, he was laying in bed with a rounder belly.

      “From left photo 3 weeks ago to this, now,” he captioned the post, which also included a full shot of him flexing his muscles in the old photo. Spilling the secret to his dramatic weight gain, the “Pain and Gain” star credited his private chef Lawrence Duran. “Thanks to @chef_lawrence_d cooking,” he added in the caption.

      In “Father Stu”, Wahlberg will be playing a boxer-turned-priest, Father Stuart Long. Back in April, he told Jimmy Kimmel that the role required him to get shredded first for the boxing scenes and then gain weight. “After we do the boxing scenes, I get to put on as much weight as possible over the course of the film, so I’m challenging myself to put on 30 pounds in the next six weeks,” he said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.

      “The Fighter” actor went on to reveal his plans to gain weight, saying that he would be eating “lots of burgers and lots of buns” to pile on the pounds. While movie bosses have recruited a “very smart” nutritional expert to help him make the transformation as healthily as possible, Wahlberg wanted to have a little fun with the mission.

      “They want me to do it as healthy as possible and I’m like, ‘Dude, I’ve been on such a regimen for so long, I just want to eat everything in sight,’ ” he shared. “I want to go to bakeries, I want to go to Denny’s (diner), I want to get pancakes, I want to get everything I can possibly get my hands on!”

      “(I’ll hopefully start) with a 20-piece chicken nugget and 20-piece hot wings from Kentucky Fried Chicken with a six-pack of beer,” he added, quipping, “Why not start with a bang? I might need a porta-potty too, but you know what, I’m ready to go.”

      Wahlberg’s weight gain journey is far from being over as he revealed on May 1 that he was “up about 20” pounds and was planning on “going up another 20.”

      ‘Perfect’ will chronicle the Olympic gymnast’s heroic performance at the 1996 Olympics where she completed a final, gold medal-winning vault in the team competition on a badly injured ankle.

      May 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actress Thomasin McKenzie is set to spring into action as the star of Olivia Wilde’s biopic about U.S. Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug.

      “Perfect (2022)” will chronicle the athlete’s heroic performance at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, where she won the nation’s hearts by completing a final, gold medal-winning vault in the team competition on a badly injured ankle that later required treatment for ligament damage.

      The film will serve as Wilde’s next directorial project, and now rising New Zealand-born star McKenzie, who landed her breakout role in 2018 drama “Leave No Trace”, has been recruited to lead the cast, reports Deadline.

      About McKenzie’s casting, Wilde said in an Instagram post, “One reason I needed to direct movies was to work with genius women in great roles worthy of their skills. This story is complicated and challenging and heartbreaking and beautiful, and I could not imagine a better partner to tell it with than Thomasin.”

      The “Richard Jewell” actress, who made her directorial debut with “Booksmart”, went on to shower the “Jojo Rabbit” actress with praise. “She is fearless, ladies and gentlemen,” the older woman declared in her post. “I bow down.”

      The movie will be based on Strug’s memoir, “Landing on My Feet, a Diary of Dreams”, which has been adapted into a script by “Borg/McEnroe” screenwriter Ronnie Sandahl. In addition to the writing gig, Sandahl will also serve as producer alongside Nik Bower and Jeremy Baxter for Riverstone Pictures and Thomas Benski and Moss Barclay for Pulse Films

      Production is expected to begin this autumn. The project itself is described as “an intimate and unflinching portrait of grit and determination.”

      Josh Duhamel Praises 'Absolute Pro' Jennifer Lopez Post-'Shotgun Wedding' Filming

      by

      Lionsgate

      Looking back at his experience shooting the romcom in the Dominican Republic, the former ‘Las Vegas’ star gushes that the ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker was ‘a dream to work with.’

      May 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Josh Duhamel has hailed Jennifer Lopez “a dream to work with”. The actor plays “On the Floor” star Jennifer’s on-screen love interest Tom in the upcoming rom-com “Shotgun Wedding” and admitted shooting the flick in the Dominican Republic with Jennifer was the best experience of his career so far.

      “It was one of the most fun experiences I’ve had shooting, or working in this business,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “First of all, we’re in the Dominican Republic, which is absolutely beautiful. Jen was a dream to work with, she’s an absolute pro and totally engaged and loved the project.”

      The pair have been good friends for a long time so it was a breeze, with Josh adding, “We had a great relationship. I’ve known her forever so it was easy for us to get in lock and step.”

        See also…

      “The crew, the cast, we have a great cast and Jason Moore, the director, it was one of those situations that everything kind of fit perfectly. I’m very proud of the way it turned out and I can’t wait for it all to come together.”

      The plot follows Tom and Darcy (Jennifer) as their “extravagant destination wedding is hijacked by criminals”. Josh took over the lead role from Armie Hammer, who has been accused by multiple women of being controlling and abusive in relationships, while exhibiting odd sex fetishes and cannibalistic fantasies.

      Armie announced his exit in mid-January. In a released statement, he said, “…in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.” He has since also been accused of rape, which is currently under investigation by Los Angeles Police.

      Zack Snyder Spills on Removal of Zombie Stripper From 'Army of the Dead'

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      Less than two weeks before his heist thriller hits select theaters, the ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ director also stresses that any references to the global health crisis were purely coincidental.

      May 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Zack Snyder removed a zombie stripper from “Army of the Dead”.

      The filmmaker’s latest movie sees a group of mercenaries venturing into quarantined Las Vegas, which has been hit by a zombie outbreak, to pull off a heist.

      And although there are a number of outrageous scenes and characters – including footage of undead Liberace, Elvis Presley, a horse and even a tiger – there was a point where he felt his ideas had gone too far.

      “We had a sequence where one of the male strippers had a huge penis with a bite taken out of it. We thought that was too much,” he admitted.

      The film finished shooting before the coronavirus pandemic hit and Zack insisted any references to the global health crisis – including temperature checks being undertaken on humans in the locked-down area – were purely coincidental.

        See also…

      “All coincidental! But the more I saw what was happening, I didn’t know if the movie would be cathartic or scary,” he told Sunday Times Culture magazine.

      However, he insisted it was important the movie featured “social commentary” that people could relate to, despite the outlandish theme.

      “But of course George Romero said it was all social commentary. And we felt obliged to do that with this movie,” he said.

      “Editorialize a little bit and zombie movies are a great place to talk about us as a people. Ours is a monster movie where the monster is us. It is a social movie more than a science movie – the science is pretty iffy.”

      “Army of the Dead” hits select theaters on May 14, with a streaming release by Netflix on May 21.
