Tom Hardy is one of the most prolific actors working in Hollywood at the moment. The Bronson star is known for his committed performances and signature voice, which has helped him make a mark in the industry. Hardy has also been notorious for one famous feud on the sets of Mad Max: Fury Road.
The actor reportedly clashed on the sets with co-star Charlize Theron as he was consistently being late to production. Though the two have taken accountability for their parts in the feud, fans were disapproving of director George Miller’s take on the clash, as he seemed to be excusing Hardy’s behavior saying that it fit the dynamic between the two characters.

The 2024 Paris Olympics have come to an end, with the closing ceremony going down Sunday at Stade de France. To help say “Au revoir” in true French style, local artists — including Phoenix, Air, and more — performed.
Phoenix performed their hit “Lisztomania” to usher in the party portion of the ceremony. Set up on a small stage in the center of the stadium, and surrounded by a crowd of Olympic athletes, the band delivered an upbeat rendition of the 2009 classic, to a warm response from the crowd. Then, they helped the DJ Kavinsky perform “Nightcall,” before diving into their 2000 track “If I Ever Feel Better.”
From there, they welcomed a number of guests, including Air — who performed their 2000 song “Playground Love” — and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, who sang “Tonight” with the group. Then, Phoenix closed their portion of the ceremony with another hit: “1901.” Watch videos of the performances below.

Matt Damon and Casey Affleck have both won Oscars for Massachusetts-set movies; Damon for writing “Good Will Hunting” with Casey’s brother Ben, and Casey for acting in the tragic drama “Manchester by the Sea.” Damon and the Afflecks’ latest Boston-set team-up, heist comedy “The Instigators,” is unlikely to win them any additional gold, but it’s a fun ride nevertheless.
Damon — reuniting with his “Bourne Identity” director Doug Liman — stars as Rory, a financially strapped middle-aged man who decides to give heisting a shot. He teams up with Cobby for some scores, and then gets his therapist Donna (Academy Award nominee Hong Chau) involved against her will. How does that make her feel? Not good! The cast also includes heavy hitters like Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Rob Gronkowski.

Fans of the dystopian action franchise Mad Max can now see the origins of one of its most compelling characters. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga began streaming August 16 on Max, the online streaming service.
The film tells the backstory of Imperator Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy. In the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road, Charlize Theron memorably portrayed Furiosa as a tough, no-nonsense warrior. This prequel delves into Furiosa’s life before the events of Fury Road, showing what experiences turned her into such a fierce leader.
When it premiered in movie theaters in May, Furiosa received positive reviews. Critics praised its spectacular visuals recreating the apocalyptic wasteland setting. However, it only grossed $172 million worldwide against a $168 million budget. This disappointing financial performance has cast doubt on plans for future films in the Mad Max franchise.

Directed by Miller, who wrote the script with Nico Lathouris, the new film delves into the character’s early life, revealing how she was taken from the Green Place of Many Mothers and thrust into the brutal world of the Warlord Dementus and Immortan Joe.

It tells the story of a fictional motorcycle club, which evolves from a group of close-knit friends into something much more dangerous as it adds members and expands across the United States.

Actors often put themselves at risk for the sake of providing the most authentic experience to their fans and audience. From performing death-defying stunts to shooting despite critical injuries, an actor’s job is not just about putting on a show but going to the extreme to make their portrayals the most realistic. And Charlize Theron is one such star who knows and does it all too well.

Whether it is shaving her head in Mad Max: Fury Road or learning to sword fight, Theron is one of the toughest female actors out there.

Hey, True Believers, remember Kraven the Hunter? I’ll give you a minute to refresh your memory. Are you good? Cool. After dropping off the radar for several months following the debut of a gnarly (and somewhat promising) red-band trailer, Sony delayed Kraven the Hunter until the Christmas box office window. Why? According to producer Matt Tolmach, “Kraven moved to Christmas because we’re excited about it, and Christmas is the best release period there is – when you get people with time to go back to the movies over and over again.” What’s in store for Sony’s next Marvel film? Lots of mature themes, it would seem. Kraven the Hunter is officially rated R for strong bloody violence and language. Let the games begin!

Kit Harington, who once donned the cloak of Jon Snow in HBO’s series Game of Thrones, recently confessed an impromptu plot twist in his own viewer’s journey. He refused to watch the show that now sits upon the throne that Game of Thrones built. With the advent of House of the Dragon, fans were perched on the edge of their seats, but Harington has opted instead for a respectful distance, cheerfully sending his well-wishes.
After brandishing his sword through eight seasons and witnessing the bittersweet finale that left fans polarized, Harington decided to hang up his proverbial sword, stepping back to embark on fresh endeavors like the third season of HBO’s Industry. His retreat from the show that saw his character rise and fall ‘twice’ speaks volumes, as even Emilia Clarke echoes his sentiments.

Similar to No Way Home, bringing back past Marvel icons has worked out extremely well for Deadpool & Wolverine, which is in line to become one of the biggest 2024 releases. It appears that Sony is also inching towards this approach for its upcoming release, Venom: The Last Dance.
While Venom‘s success at the box office back in 2018 gave Sony the perfect platform to build their Spider-Man cinematic universe, things haven’t gone quite their way since then. With the sequel to the 2018 movie being the lone exception, it seems Sony is also following in the Ryan Reynolds-led film’s footsteps to reignite the spark in the Sony Cinematic Universe.

Venom: The Last Dance is less than three months away from arriving in theaters but reshoots are currently taking place in New York City.
There's nothing too revealing here as Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock is simply shown wandering through the streets of the Big Apple. In contrast, Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage were set in San Francisco, seemingly to distance (literally) Eddie from Spider-Man's home.
While Venom: The Last Dance has been billed as the Lethal Protector's final adventure, it would be a very Sony thing to do for the movie to conclude with Eddie walking into The Daily Bugle or Daily Globe to tease the idea of him crossing paths with Peter Parker.
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are expected to see Spider-Man don the alien suit, suggesting Marvel Studios has its own plans for Venom somewhere down the line.

I wonder what exactly went behind conceiving a movie like The Abandon and then actually making it! If we only go by the idea of it, the sci-fi thriller, directed by Jason Sutterlund, can’t be termed bad, per se—even if it borrows from tons of other things, mainly from Cube (1997) and Buried (2010), both much superior films. But the issue here is that this one, despite having an interesting story, feels like a slog. Ninety-seven minutes feels like an eternity. There are only two things that can be blamed here: the writing is bland as hell, and lead actor Jonathan Rosenthal is no Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy, or even Ryan Reynolds; no offense. What’s even worse is that the payoff in the end is unsatisfying. I’m all for an ambiguous ending, but this one feels like nothing but a gimmick. However, I’m still going to make...

Adaptations of popular classics have often led to heated disputes among fans of the original and contemporaries. One such classic is the popular romance novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. This book has been revamped multiple times, and made into different movies all with their own interpretations of the two lead characters.

The Hollywood business is filled with actors trying out different diets and exercises to play roles to the core. One such role was that of the notorious villain Bane who terrorized Gotham City in The Dark Knight Rises (2012). For this, Tom Hardy had to go through a complete physical transformation comprised of several mental and physical challenges.

Not only this, but the actor also followed a pizza diet for the $1 billion project that puts other actors’ dietary regimens, such as Jason Momoa’s beer diet, to shame.

Dave Bautista, the retired professional wrestler cum mixed martial artist turned actor, has already won a lot of hearts with his outstanding acting chops and holds no intention to stop anytime soon. Besides being a part of blockbuster franchises like MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, he is now looking forward to making his splash in James Gunn’s Dcu.

Over all these years, even while he was a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Drax the Destroyer, Bautista was also closely affiliated by fans to DC villainous characters like Bane and Lex Luthor. But as perfect as he would look in both of these roles, there is one other character that the wrestler-turned-actor was pretty much born to bring to life: Hugo Strange.

Matt Reeves’ The Batman starring Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader, introduced the world to a different interpretation of Batman. Instead of doing an origin story again, the film majorly focused on the corruption and ugliness of a crime-ridden Gotham City and the elements that play into it. Batman got to square off against adversaries like Carmine Falcone and the Penguin.

Following the success of the film, Reeves started thinking about various spin-off shows that would further explore the nitty-gritty of Gotham City. In addition to the upcoming Penguin series, shows about Gotham Pd and Arkham Asylum were earlier in development, but have now been cancelled. With the new revelation that he is developing a new show, fans have one villain in mind for it.

A year ago, Christopher Nolan’s biopic on the father of the atomic bomb opened in cinemas to a thunderous response. Like his previous films, Oppenheimer was one of the most anticipated movies of the year, partly due to its releasing partner Barbie, sparking the phenomenal Barbenheimer meme.
While Barbie may have earned the big billion at the box office, Nolan’s three-hour epic on the horrors of nuclear war was not far behind in box office returns, and it also won big at the Oscars. One scene in particular, Nolan mentioned, captured the attention of the viewers so much that he was spellbound when he walked into the theater secretly.

The Dark Knight Trilogy is effortlessly one of the best Batman adaptations ever made (if not the best), and Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne and Tom Hardy’s Bane made sure to nail every sequence of it. Being incredibly talented method actors, both of them managed to deliver their scenes with such exuberance that made the grounded movie one of the most worthwhile experiences ever.

However, as opposed to other adaptations where the Caped Crusader was shown physically fit to the point of enduring a brawl with someone as powerful as Superman, this grounded version couldn’t quite leave that effect. This was especially true in The Dark Knight Rises, where Hardy’s terrorist’s one punch to Bale’s superhero had their entire fight looking like a joke to fans.

The Dark Knight trilogy remains the best superhero trilogy featuring the caped crusader played by Christian Bale. Christopher Nolan’s films took a complete departure from the campy and fantastical portrayal of the DC hero from previous iterations. The director took a very visceral and gritty approach to the character, including the use of practical effects as much as possible.

The trilogy came to an end with The Dark Knight Rises with Batman battling his greatest threat yet in the form of Tom Hardy’s Bane. While Nolan took inspiration from the comics, he rarely lifted quotes from the comics. However, two dialogues from the film were directly from two beloved comics featuring the dark knight.

Brent Spiner is best known for playing the android Data in the show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Starring alongside actors like Patrick Stewart and William Riker, Spinner’s character was one of the most beloved roles in the franchise and he even returned for Star Trek: Picard.
While the Tng cast got a fitting end with Picard, the previous finale, the original film Star Trek: Nemesis was a box-office bomb and was not received well by critics. However, Spiner’s idea for a sequel would have probably saved the Tom Hardy starrer from being a fizzled-out finale and would have brought in multiple Star Trek captains.
