In an unexpected twist in the world of superhero movie preparations, Emma Corrin, set to play the villain Cassandra Nova in the upcoming “Deadpool & Wolverine,” revealed that Marvel Studios denied their request for a personal trainer. This decision stands in stark contrast to the typical superhero movie protocol, where intense physical transformations have become the norm.
Speaking to British GQ, Corrin expressed their readiness to undergo the customary superhero transformation. “I was so ready to undergo a huge transformation, but they were like, ‘That’s absolutely not required of you. Please stand down,'” Corrin explained. The actor’s enthusiasm for the physical challenge was met with a surprising response from Marvel, who deemed the transformation unnecessary for Corrin’s role.

Australia has juiced its tax incentives for foreign, mostly Hollywood movies and TV series that shoot locally.
The federal government has passed legislation to boost the 16.5 percent location to 30 percent. The near doubling of the location offset will apply to local Australian movies but with a catch. Producers must have budgets of at least Aus$20 million (US$13.3 million) for production, or Aus$1.5 million (US$1 million) per hour for a TV series.
That means mostly foreign and especially Hollywood productions will benefit from the increased location offset for blockbuster projects as Australia looks to be more competitive with rival international jurisdictions and draw more projects and employment to its shores.
“This is fantastic news for the industry. The 30 percent location offset will provide certainty for international productions, supporting a stable pipeline of work for thousands of Australian screen workers and businesses and triggering investment into new industry capacity and capabilities,” Kate Marks,...

Avengers 5 currently has no villain. Initially, the film was supposed to feature Kang the Conqueror, but that has since been changed since Jonathan Majors was fired from the studio. Rumors have been circulating as to who could be the next villain that the Avengers face and Hercules seems to be a likely candidate for that.
Brett Goldstein as Hercules in Thor: Love and Thunder (image credit: Marvel)
Hercules, played by Brett Goldstein was introduced in the MCU in the mid-credit scene of Thor: Love and Thunder, and was explicitly commanded by his father, Zeus (Russell Crowe) to eliminate Thor. Given that Chris Hemsworth is keen on a tonal shift in the next Thor film, and that seemingly two unrelated storylines have been set up by the two end credit scenes of Thor Love and Thunder, using Hercules as a villain for Avengers 5 can solve multiple problems at once.

Avengers 5 (formerly known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty) hasn't had the smoothest of production journeys after losing its original director, a writer, and star Jonathan Majors, but it sounds like Marvel Studios finally has things back on track.
According to Nexus Point News, shooting is now scheduled to get underway in late-March 2025, running through the end of Summer 2025.
The site also notes: "Due to the size of the cast and the film itself, several actors will be filming their scenes in chunks. Actors may have to film all their scenes at once in the span of weeks without the whole cast or even everyone in the scene being present during the shoot."

Having received an amazing start with its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, Furiosa garnered all the possible accolades and finally hit the cinemas across the globe – only to receive a lukewarm reception.
Now that Furiosa’s box office results are more than disheartening, the movie’s release on streaming might come in handy, and Prime Video is about to confirm or disprove it.
Also starring Chris Hemsworth in one of the leading roles, Furiosa follows a younger version of Charlize Theron’s character who is now portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy.

Orpheus will be played by Ruairi O’Connor, best known for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Morning Show.

2012's "The Avengers" is a blockbuster inflection point, ending the brief reign of grim-and-gritty pop movies kicked off by 2008's "The Dark Knight." After Earth's Mightiest Heroes roused audiences at the box office, Hollywood started chasing cinematic universes, not Nolan-izations. Yet, funnily enough, "The Avengers" itself uses a blockbuster trope often credited to "The Dark Knight" — the villain who purposefully gets captured in the middle of the movie.
"The Avengers" writer/director Joss Whedon understood the key to making a successful movie was to place these six conflicting personalities into a single space and let the tensions boil. That's why the bulk of "The Avengers" unfolds on Shield's helicarrier; Whedon himself invoked "Glengarry Glen Ross" when describing his approach.
Having big bad Loki (Tom Hiddleston) be captured and kept in a cell on the helicarrier keeps him in focus, placing him close to the conflict even when the movie is...

Chris Hemsworth’s Last 5 Films At The Worldwide Box Office(Photo Credit – Instagram)
Chris Hemsworth is an Australian actor who is part of some of the highest-grossing Hollywood films owing to his role as the God of Thunder, Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, aka MCU. His much-anticipated movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was released in May this year but felt to create the magic as much as the hype. He played a negative role in this George Miller-helmed dystopian saga. He is an established actor in the action genre who has given a few hits and flops in the past few years. Here’s a brief look at the Marvel star’s last five movies at the worldwide box office.

Chris Hemsworth, known for portraying Thor in Marvel films, recently shared a hair-raising encounter with Australian wildlife, causing a social media stir.
The Australian actor posted a video to Instagram showing a close-up of an enormous spider he discovered in what appears to be the backyard of his Byron Bay home. In the footage, Hemsworth uses his phone’s front-facing camera to capture the arachnid, bringing it unnervingly close to his face.
The perspective makes the spider seem as large as Hemsworth’s head, creating a startling visual effect. The tension builds as the actor zooms in on the creature, which suddenly jumps, causing Hemsworth to flinch and exclaim, “Jesus Christ.” Despite the scare, he laughs it off, demonstrating the laid-back attitude often associated with Australians.
Hemsworth captioned the post with a tongue-in-cheek comment: “Didn’t even scare me.” The video quickly went viral, amassing thousands of comments from fans and fellow Instagram users.

Movies that combine horror and comedy elements have always been popular with audiences. It’s proved by the enormous success of the Scary Movie franchise and Simon Pegg’s Shaun of the Dead (2004), which was terribly hilarious, indeed.
Back in 2011, the world saw The Cabin in the Woods that is still considered the best movie of that kind. However, it’s no better than another comedy horror gem that probably deserves even more attention than Chris Hemsworth’s hyped flick.
Its plot revolves around two awkward friends who have just bought the vacation home of their dreams and arrive there to repair it. At the same time, a group of college students goes camping in that area, unaware that they’re not alone there.
After hearing strange noises and experiencing signs of evil, the students begin to suspect that the duo are killers, and their vacation suddenly takes a bloody turn.

And just like that, 2024 is already half over. Crazy, isn’t it? It feels like Christmas was just a minute ago, but here we are in the middle of summertime. Before we know it, the fall festivals will open up, the awards race will begin, and people will start debating the year’s best movies.
But here’s the thing – whenever people start talking about the best movies of the year, they always neglect all of the films that came out in the first half of the year. Studios know this, which is why high-profile, prestigious movies always bow in the fourth quarter of the year. So, to give these movies a bit of a spotlight, we here at JoBlo have decided to list the 10 best movies of 2024…so far (in no particular order).

The rise of Timothée Chalamet has been something to behold in an era where brands like the Marvel Cinematic Universe have tended to swallow prospective movie stars whole. (There's a reason Chris Hemsworth was so nakedly happy to be working with an honest-to-goodness visionary like George Miller on "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.") Borrowing a page from the book of his fellow former teen heartthrob and mentor, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chalamet was careful to establish his credentials as a performer before hitching his name to a franchise. Over the span of just 10 years, he's already joined forces with some of the most renowned directors in the biz -- Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, Luca Guadagnino, Denis Villeneuve, Paul King, and Greta Gerwig chief among them.

Predicting Best Supporting Actor contenders early on is always one of the most difficult challenges for prognostication, because one cannot predict (mostly sight unseen) whether there are any films that voters will go all-in on, recognizing more than one scene stealer. After all, some films literally have “12 Angry Men” to choose from.
That said, the minute the Sundance premiere of “A Real Pain” ended, critics were already declaring a nomination spot permanently reserved for Kieran Culkin in his first major role post-”Succession.” Adam Pearson in “A Different Man,...

"Who's next?"
While we're still waiting on that big mask reveal - likely reserved for the final trailer sometime next month - Marvel Studios has released a brand new one-minute trailer for the upcoming blockbuster, offering a first look at a major returning character: Sabretooth!
Yes, Victor Creed, played by original actor Tyler Mane, is back and ready for action as he squares off with his archnemesis Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in what appears to be a battle royale of sorts where it seems increasingly likely we'll see more than a handful of familiar faces.
The last time we saw this particular iteration of Sabretooth, he had just been defeated by the combined efforts of Wolverine, Cyclops (James Marsden), Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) and Storm (Halle Berry), during the battle on Liberty Island in 2000's X-Men. It's unclear whether this is the same variant, but it seems like we'll find out soon enough.

Jeremy Renner graces the July/August cover of Men’s Health magazine, where he opened up about the overwhelming support he received from his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars following his near-death snow plow accident at the start of 2023. For instance, Falcon actor Anthony Mackie visited Renner in the hospital just days after the accident even though Renner was still on life support and could only see out of his right eye. Iron Man icon Robert Downey Jr. would connect with Renner over FaceTime constantly when he was in the hospital.
“Oh, fuck yeah, it’s a real thing — it’s not just for Instagram. We fuckin’ hate that shit,” Renner said about the love that exists between the Avengers actors. “We have a family chat and have for a long time. When you work with people — look, we all went through a culturally significant experience together. And there’s divorces...

Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok was an instant success at the box office; the film showcased Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in full valor and strength, showcasing to its audience the true power of the God of Thunder. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has pushed its boundaries both in terms of storytelling and audience rating.

However, they have never gone overboard to the point of making an R-rated film, excluding the upcoming movie Deadpool & Wolverine. Waititi’s 2017 film featured some edgy humor, but he was not courageous enough to showcase a scene that would have been the most talked-about Nsfw MCU moment in the project.
Although the scene never made it to the final cut of the movie, it would leave you speechless and creeped out, which would have made Thor 3 the first R-rated MCU film.

Over the years, George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and other TV personalities have become familiar faces at Good Morning America.
This week, viewers haven’t seen Robin or Michael alongside George as the trio that typically anchors the morning program.
Instead, there have been several replacement anchors, including Rebecca Jarvis, Whit Johnson, and Linsey Davis.
On Thursday, GMA said goodbye to a longtime contributor, ABC News’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Jennifer Ashton.
In April, Monsters and Critics reported that Dr. Jen announced she would leave the show this month.
Various colleagues sat with Dr. Jen for a special GMA tribute as they looked back at her memorable moments on the show and said farewell.

Dr. Jennifer Ashton has completed her last episode of Good Morning America. The GMA3 anchor was given an emotional sendoff from her colleagues at the network in the form of a sweet goodbye message, seen below, and Ashton was in tears as she said her final farewells to viewers and her colleagues. The farewell video filmed as a gift for Ashton is nearly 10 minutes in length and features supportive messages from her colleagues, friends, and children.
