    Besides past Peter Parkers, Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus, Jamie Foxx’s Electro and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy are also expected to return in the Tom Holland-starring pic.

    Dec 9, 2020

    Garfield portrayed Peter Parker a.k.a. the web-crawler in 2012’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” and its 2014 sequel. As for Dunst, she played Peter’s love interest Mary Jane opposite Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” trilogy. Both actors are reportedly set to reprise their respective role.

Jackson’s Nick Fury in “Spider-Man: Far From Home”.
    According to FandomWire, the upcoming movie would feature “all three Spider-Men tackling many of their villains from the past, as well as new ones.” Besides Electro and Doctor Octopus, the “villains from the past” reportedly also include Venom (Tom Hardy), Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin and Green Goblin. We Got This Covered additionally reported that Kraven the Hunter and Scorpion would be added to the mix.

    Jeremy Irons Joins Ridley Scott's True-Story Movie 'Gucci'

    WENN

    The ‘Macbeth’ actor has allegedly been added to the star-studded cast ensemble of the upcoming true-story movie about the famed fashion designer Maurizio Gucci.

    Dec 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jeremy Irons has reportedly boarded Sir Ridley Scott’s star-studded “Gucci” movie.
    According to Deadline, the Hollywood veteran is the latest name attached to the true crime drama, which is based on the murder of fashion trailblazer Maurizio Gucci in 1995.
    It’s not currently known what role the 72-year-old Oscar-winner will play.
    However, the “Assassin’s Creed” star joins an A-list cast featuring the likes of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Adam Driver, and Jared Leto.
    Lady Gaga was previously confirmed to star as Patrizia Reggiani, Gucci’s ex-wife who was convicted of orchestrating his murder after he had an affair.

    Patrizia served 18 years in jail before being released in 2016.
    The murder of Maurizio came as he had two daughters with Patrizia but left her for another woman.
    Patrizia had a brain tumour removed and her children blamed the medical procedure for her actions, but she was depicted as a hot blooded woman out for revenge and dubbed the Black Widow.
    It has been claimed Giannina wanted to pursue the movie, which is framed around the rise of a family business that denigrated into squabbles over control of the business and greed, at a time when Gucci was being corporatised.
    The script has been penned by Roberto Bentivegna and is based on “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed” by Sara Gay Forden.
    The MGM movie is slated for release on November 24, 2021.

    Amanda Seyfried Turned Down 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Because She Thought the Movie Would Tank

    WENN

    The ‘Mamma Mia!’ actress admits she was very skeptical when she was offered to portray Gamora in the James Gunn-directed superhero movie about a talking tree and raccoon.

    Dec 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Amanda Seyfried passed on the role of Gamora in “Guardians of the Galaxy” because she didn’t want to be a part of the first big Marvel flop.
    The “Mamma Mia!” star felt sure the film would bomb even though James Gunn’s script was “great”, and now admits she was “very wrong.”
    “I didn’t want to be part of the first Marvel movie that bombed,” the actress tells The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast. “I said, ‘Who wants to see a movie about a talking tree and a raccoon…?’ I was very wrong.”
    The film went on to make over $770 million (£576 million) at the global box office.

    “The script was great; it was all based in not wanting to be ‘that guy,’ ” Amanda adds, “because if you are the star of a giant movie like that, and it bombs, Hollywood does not forgive you. I’ve seen that happen to people and it was a giant, giant fear and I thought, ‘Is it worth it?’ ”
    The role eventually went to Zoe Saldana.
    In the comic book movie, she was joined by Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Vin Diesel as Groot, and Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon.
    After exploring the galaxy in two standalone movies, the Marvel ragtag team of misfits eventually joined The Avengers in “Avengers: Infinity War” and then returned for “Avengers: Endgame”. Now a third “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie is currently in development as part of the Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
