      T.I. Not Returning for 'Ant-Man 3' Following Sexual Abuse Allegations by Multiple Women

      by

      Marvel Studios

      It has been reported that the ‘Get Back Up’ spitter won’t be part of the cast for the ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ sequel as he and his wife Tiny are facing accusations of sexual abuse.

      Mar 2, 2021
      AceShowbiz – T.I. may have lost a job amid sexual abuse allegations against him. The rapper/actor has reportedly been dropped from “Ant-Man 3” after a lawyer calls for an investigation on the allegations by multiple women against the star, whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.
      According to The Hollywood Reporter, T.I. won’t be returning for the follow-up to “Ant-Man and the Wasp”. In the first “Ant-Man” movie and its 2018 sequel, the 40-year-old star portrayed Dave, a friend to Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang/Ant-Man who helped him on his adventures along with ex-convicts Luis (Michael Pena) and Kurt (David Dastmalchian).
      While side characters such as T.I.’s Dave might have been expected to return, “Ant-Man 3” is still in development and there was never an official confirmation that T.I. was slated to return for the third movie. THR also notes that it’s unclear if the decision to not have T.I. in the upcoming installment has anything to do with the recent accusations of sexual abuse he is facing along with his wife Tiny Harris a.k.a. Tameka Cottle.

      Attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, who represents 11 people claiming to be victimized by the hip-hop couple, is seeking criminal inquiries on behalf of his clients, who accuse the couple of sexual abuse and assault. He sent letters to state and federal prosecutors Georgia and California on February 19. The attorneys general in those two states also received similar letters.
      At a virtual press conference on Monday, March 1, Blackburn detailed the allegations brought by six anonymous women claiming that T.I. and Tiny had abused them, with some describing instances of drugging, kidnapping and rape. He added that he’s withholding the names of the women because of concerns about potential intimidation.
      Through their lawyer Steve Sadow, the couple has denied the allegations. “Clifford (T.I.) and Tameka [Tiny] Harris deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations,” he said in a statement. “We are confident that if these claims are thoroughly and fairly investigated, no charges will be forthcoming.”
      The lawyer insisted, “These allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media. The Harrises implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system.”

      Rumors of Amber Heard Being Fired From 'Aquaman 2' Deemed 'Inaccurate'

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      Earlier reports suggested that the ‘Pineapple Express’ actress violated a clause in her contract for the Warner Bros. superhero movie because she’s gained weight.

      Mar 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Amber Heard isn’t being kicked out of the “Aquaman” franchise despite latest rumors stating otherwise. Reports swirled on the Internet anew that the actress was fired from “Aquaman 2”, though it’s not directly related to a petition asking for her removal from the upcoming movie or due to her ongoing defamation case against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
      Instead, according to the unconfirmed reports, the 34-year-old beauty was let go because she didn’t meet the physical requirement for the “Aquaman” sequel. She reportedly violated a clause in her contract for the Warner Bros. superhero movie because she’s gained weight.
      “Amber Heard did not pass her physical examination,” a source told Australian site Sausage Roll. “She’s put on some pounds and is in terrible shape. There is a clause in her contract which says she is required to be in good form ahead of shooting and she violated that.”
      The site additionally noted that Heard’s role demands her physical fitness to perform the stunts and the studio terminated her because she’s not in shape to handle such demanding task. It’s further reported that the studio was eying “Game of Thrones” alum Emilia Clarke to replace Heard.
      But before the rumors spread like wildfire, it has been debunked. The Hollywood Reporter’s staff writer Ryan Parker put to question the reliability of the information about Heard’s firing as he tweeted on Sunday, February 28, “Told by a reliable source that reports of Amber Heard being fired off ‘Aquaman 2’ are inaccurate.”

      Rumors of Amber Heard being fired from ‘Aquaman 2’ are debunked.
      Back in 2020, more than one million people called for Heard’s removal from the “Aquaman” franchise amid her prolonged legal battle with her ex Depp. As petition urging Warner Bros. to replace the actress crossed the 1 million mark, the “Justice League” star countered it by declaring that she’s returning for the sequel.
      “I’m super excited about the amount of fan love and the amount of fan appreciation that ‘Aquaman’ has acquired and that it has garnered so much excitement for ‘Aquaman’ and Mera that it means we’ll be coming back,” she said last November. “I’m so excited to film that.”
      She went insisting, “Paid rumors and paid campaigns on social media don’t dictate (casting decisions) because they have no basis in reality. Only the fans actually made ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Aquaman 2’ happen. I’m excited to get started next year.”
      The petition gained a lot of support after Warner Bros. decided to remove Depp from “Fantastic Beasts 3” following his libel case loss against The Sun newspaper editors, who called him a “wife-beater” in a story.

      Ice Cube Accuses Warner Bros. of Holding 'Friday' Film Franchise Hostage

      by

      Instagram

      Venting his frustration on social media, the rapper playing Craig Jones in the family comedy movie claims that the studio bosses do not allow him to take his ideas to other studios.

      Mar 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rapper/actor Ice Cube has accused Warner Bros. studio bosses of holding his “Friday” film franchise hostage by refusing to green light a new sequel.
      The hip-hop icon previously revealed his planned final “Friday” instalment had stalled following the 2019 death of his movie dad, John Witherspoon, and now Cube claims film executives don’t want to move forward with the project at all – or allow him to take his ideas to other studios.
      Taking to Twitter to vent his frustration on Friday, February 26, he wrote, “#freefriday from the jaws of Warner Bros. who refuses to make more sequels. They have hi-jacked the happiness of the culture (sic).”

        See also…

      Sources tell TMZ Cube wanted to pitch the sequel plans to other production officials, but Warner executives would not release the rights to the franchise for him to do so.
      Fans have been calling on Cube to reunite his movie family for a long-awaited follow-up for years, as the original “Friday” debuted in 1995 and spawned 2000’s “Next Friday”, as well as the most recent sequel, “Friday After Next”, which was released in 2002.
      Warner chiefs have yet to respond to Cube’s allegations.
      Back in 2019, Cube shared his plans for the fourth sequel of “Friday”. During an appearance in an episode of ESPN’s “The Jump”, the 51-year-old claimed that “Last Friday” has had a completed script, and he was aiming to release it on April 26, 2020, which was the original film’s 25th anniversary.
      “We are pushing for it, we finished the script, we are getting notes from the studio and it’s going back and forth,” he shared. “Get into pre-production and start hiring. It would be nice for this to come out on the 25th anniversary.”

      Eddie Murphy Cast Louie Anderson in 'Coming to America' to Meet Studio's Demand of 'White Guy'

      by

      WENN/Instagram/Avalon

      During an appearance on ‘Today’, the comedian known for his portrayal of Prince Akeem reveals that film chiefs were uneasy at releasing his classic comedy as he had originally envisioned.

      Mar 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Eddie Murphy hired fellow veteran comedian Louie Anderson to star in his “Coming to America” classic because studio bosses refused to make the movie without “somebody white” in the cast.
      Anderson portrayed fast food employee Maurice in the 1998 hit, and Murphy confesses the casting decision was only made to satisfy film chiefs, who were apparently uneasy at releasing the comedy as the funnyman had originally envisioned.
      “Louie Anderson is in the original ‘Coming to America’ because the whole cast was black and the studio was like, ‘We have to have somebody white in the movie. We’re not making the movie without somebody white in it’,” Murphy recalled on U.S. breakfast show “Today”.
      “I was like, ‘Really?’ So I was like, ‘Who’s the funniest white guy around and [is] a friend of mine? Oh, Louie’s perfect!’ and that’s how Louie ended up in the movie.”

      “Coming to America” was distributed by officials at Paramount Pictures.
      Murphy is reprising his role as Prince Akeem for a long-awaited sequel, and this time, he made it a family affair, recruiting his real-life daughter, 19-year-old Bella Murphy, to play one of his three onscreen daughters.
      And the comedy icon couldn’t contain his pride at getting to work alongside his child in “Coming 2 America”, which will debut on Amazon Prime Video on March 5.
      “I can’t even put into words [his joy]…,” he said. “You go see your child in a school play and your heart bursts with pride. To look over on the set and seeing her, I had the big, giant, proud papa moment every day.”
      Bella is one of Murphy’s 10 children, and it’s his role as a dad which he treasures the most, “My legacy is my children, it’s these 10 human beings that I brought into the world,” he smiled.

      'Tom and Jerry' Becomes Second Movie to Score Over $10M Opening Debut During COVID-19 Pandemic

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The family movie, starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Michael Pena, has topped the North American box office ahead of ‘The Croods: A New Age’ and ‘The Little Things’.

      Mar 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Tom & Jerry” has raced to the top of the North American box office with an impressive $13.7 million (£9.85 million) debut amid the ongoing COVID crisis.
      The family movie, a hybrid of live-action and animation, stars Chloe Moretz and Michael Pena alongside the beloved cartoon cat and mouse duo, and the popularity of the classic Hanna-Barbera characters has helped studio officials at Warner Bros. to secure only the second release to land an opening weekend of $10 million (£7.2 million) or more during the pandemic.
      “Wonder Woman 1984” was the studio’s first to crack the mark with a $16.7 million (£12 million) debut following its Christmas Day, December 25, 2020 launch, hitting limited theaters and streaming service HBO Max at the same time.

      The big opening of “Tom and Jerry” easily beats its closest rivals – “The Croods: A New Age” and Denzel Washington crime thriller “The Little Things”, which round out the new top three with $1.2 million (£862,500) and $925,000 (£665,000) respectively.
      The movie’s weekend success sent hope to the return of theatrical screenings. Warner Bros. Domestic Distribution Boss Jeff Goldstein stated, “This is evidence that people are willing to go back to the movies when there is something they want to see.”
      Box Office Pro’s chief analyst Shawn Robbins expressed similar sentiment. ” ‘Tom and Jerry’s’ ability to exceed expectations despite a day-and-date streaming release, and without the biggest markets open, signals yet another positive step forward for the industry as a whole,” he said.
      Top Ten Movies at Weekend Box Office for Feb. 26-28:
      “Tom & Jerry” – $13.7 million
      “The Croods: A New Age” – $1.2 million
      “The Little Things” – $925,000
      “Wonder Woman 1984” – $710,000
      “The Marksman” – $700,000
      “Nomadland” – $528,000
      “Judas and the Black Messiah” – $500,000
      “Monster Hunter” – $460,000
