“Black Widow” Set A New Pandemic Box Office Record
Movie industry people were very excited to see how well Black Widow did at the box office this weekend. The newest Fast and the Furious movie, F9, had the biggest movie opening since 2019 and so industry folks were excited that despite the Coronavirus pandemic rocking our lives to Hell the last two years, people were still willing to sit in a room with each other for hours at a time. Because Black Widow came out on Disney+ the same day it was released in theaters, time would tell if the industry was really coming back or if people wanted to stay home and watch from their couch. The verdict is in: BOTH MAKE LOTS OF MONEY!
Scarlett Johansson Says She’s Done With Playing Black Widow
In an interview with Fatherly, mom-to-be Scarlett Johansson talked about how she’s hanging up her tight black suit and is moving on from playing Black Widow. I see that THEE Stephen Dorff’s comments about how she should be “embarrassed” to be a part of a trash movie like Black Widow got to ScarJo! Or she’s just really bored with making zillions of dollars to be in Marvel movies.
Anthony Mackie Really Isn’t Into People Thinking There’s A Gay Romance Between Sam And Bucky On “Falcon And The Winter Soldier”
Disney+’s latest superhero series, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, is a hit, which isn’t a surprise since nerds will devour up anything Marvel. And along with popularity comes fanfiction! But one of the show’s stars Anthony Mackie seems a bit peeved that people online have been suggesting that his character Sam Wilson AKA the Falcon is secretly in love with Bucky Barnes AKA the Winter Soldier, played by Sebastian Stan. The gay shippers are just wrong, okay! And Anthony is coming off as a little pissed that people don’t think two straight dudes can have a strong friendship and have twisted something as “pure and beautiful as homosexuality.” So if you scream “KISS! KISS!” every time these two are onscreen together, Anthony wants you to stop.
Marvel Has Revealed The First Look At Angelina Jolie In “Eternals”
After much talk and rumors about Eternals, people finally get to see the first teaser of it earlier today, courtesy of Marvel Studios. Sadly, if you want an HD buffet of Eternals muscles, you’ll have to hit up those old pics of Kumail Nanjiani. Because there’s not a whole lot to see here (it is a teaser, after all). But we do get a 1.5-second glimpse of Angelina Jolie in full superhero mode, complete with a magic sword. But why? She’s got razor-sharp cheekbones right there!
Marvel Says That Star-Lord Of The “Guardians of The Galaxy” Series Is Bisexual
It’s been a surprising month for unexpected Guardians of the Galaxy reveals. Just last week we learned that Amanda Seyfried turned down the role of Gamora in the GotG film series because she was sure it would flop. Now we’re learning that the character of Star-Lord, played in the GotG film series by Chris Pratt, has been revealed to be a member of the galaxy’s bisexual community. That might be it for big GotG reveals, because I don’t know how “Star-Lord is bi” can possibly be topped. Maybe Groot will get surprise married to a fake IKEA ficus in Las Vegas. For now, we’ve got Star-Lord’s newly-revealed sexuality to discuss!
Tatiana Maslany Will Play She-Hulk On Disney+, And The Internet Has Thoughts
When it was first announced last August that Disney would be working on a She-Hulk series, the internet did what the internet does best – they started dream casting. I’m sure Teresa Giudice thought she had this in the bag, considering she’s got the muscles, she’s great at acting, and can transform into a beast in seconds. One name that popped up over and over again was Alison Brie, who has spent a couple seasons on GLOW flexing, screaming, and beating ass. And at one point, the internet was somewhat convinced she had it. But it looks like Disney is going with Tatiana Maslany.
