Rebel Wilson is opening up about her picture-perfect proposal, and what went into getting the go-ahead to make it happen.The star revealed earlier this month that she and girlfriend Ramona Agruma got engaged after Wilson popped the question at Disneyland.Wilson recently spoke with Drew Barrymore during an upcoming episode of her daytime talk show and recalled how she actually called Disney CEO Bob Iger for permission to propose inside the iconic theme park.«He's the big, big boss and I thought, 'Well, if he says yes, then it was meant to be, and I was meant to propose that day at Disneyland,'» Wilson recalled. «I had to get special permission to get a special area roped off and get the topiary trees in and, you know, I had a violinist playing like Disney classics, and it was very, really romantic.»Recalling the heartfelt proposal, Wilson admitted that she wasn't even totally sure how to actually pull off the proposal itself.«She said yes. And I was like, 'Do I get down on one knee? What do I do?' And I was like, 'I may as well,' so I got down on one knee,» Wilson recalled. «And then she was like, 'What are you doing?' And goes, „Well, you can’t be the only one on your knee,' so she got down as well.“While the proposal went off without a hitch and was as perfect as Wilson had hoped for, the actress admitted that she was a bit emotionally overwhelmed with happiness after the fact.»It was just beautiful and she said yes and then I was like, 'OK, great!' And then I was so overwhelmed that afterwards we went on a ride, this new ride they had, and I kind of collapsed afterwards," she remembered.

Former “Walking Dead” star Steven Yeun is set to join Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts”.

the awful “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” raked in $120 million over the long Presidents Day weekend, ticket-buyers and critics were both put off by the Paul Rudd stinker. On Rotten Tomatoes, the squishable film nearly tied franchise-worst “Eternals” (47%) with a 48%. Even more tellingly, the unrelentingly stupid and impossible-to-follow “Quantumania” scored an underwhelming B from the audience-survey service CinemaScore. That’s a big fat “Splat!”Although a B might not sound too dire, think of it not as, “Congratulations! You’ve passed physics class!” but, “Beware! This sushi restaurant has rat poop in the kitchen.” But, you say, that’s just one clunker out of 31. Most of them don’t suck.

Star Wars actor Liam Neeson has spoken out against the explosive growth of the Lucasfilm franchise, expressing the belief that it’s been damaged by the constant churning out of spin-offs.

So it looks like there might be a big change to the planned Marvel/Disney+ release schedule in 2023.

Tatiana Siegel On Nov. 20, Disney shocked Hollywood when it announced that Bob Iger would return as CEO after less than a year away. Two days later, Disney’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” landed a coveted China release. Then, the sci-fi film received a rare release extension in China that allowed it to run through Feb. 14, enabling it to gross more than $240 million in the country.  Though Disney insiders say China’s embrace of “Avatar” was unrelated to Iger’s return, its success and a string of good fortune for the company has raised eyebrows at rival studios. That’s because after seeing its Marvel releases denied entry to China for nearly four years, Disney recently announced that “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” were being waved into the country. (“Avengers: Endgame” in 2019 was the last Disney Marvel movie to secure a release in the Middle Kingdom, earning $632 million there.) And if things seem cozier between Disney and China, there’s no missing that a recent “Simpsons” episode that took a shot at the country’s human rights record never appeared on Disney+ in Hong Kong. The episode’s infraction involved a bit where a virtual tour guide tells Marge: “Behold the wonders of China. Bitcoin mines, forced labor camps where children make smartphones.” That joke was enough for the episode to receive the boot. The “Simpsons” move represents a stark difference from Disney’s recent approach elsewhere in Asia, where it chose to forego the release of titles including “Thor” and “Lightyear” rather than cave to pressure from censors over those films’ LGBTQ characters.

With each new Marvel Studios film’s release, Kevin Feige is inevitably interviewed and asked a ton of questions about the future. Mostly, he gives a lot of “wait and see” answers that don’t provide much information.

Tom Holland will be reprising his Spider-Man role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige says they are already working on his comeback.

In exactly two years from today, Feb. 14, 2025, Marvel Studios is set to drop the Fantastic Four reboot and studio head Kevin Feige is teasing the film.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man may be returning to the screen earlier than expected.

Zack Sharf The Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen its fair share of memorable villains, from Josh Brolin’s Thanos to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Cate Blanchett’s Hela. But according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, no villain has gotten higher test screening scores than Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conquerer. Kang debuts in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which sets up the character as the new Thanos of the MCU. “For years, we’ve always had the inkling that Kang would be an amazing follow-up to Thanos,” Feige told Entertainment Weekly. “He’s got that equal stature in the comics, but he’s a completely different villain. Mainly, that’s because he’s multiple villains. He’s so unique from Thanos, which we really liked.”

Deadline confirmed the news last October that Harrison Ford would be taking over the role of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross — previously played by the late, great William Hurt — beginning with Phase 5 title Captain America: New World Order. At the time, details about the character and the film’s plot were being kept tightly under wraps.

Tom Holland will be returning as Peter Parker for a fourth Spider-Man movie and the head of Marvel Studios has confirmed that the film is currently in the works.

With the release of each new Marvel Studios film, inevitably Kevin Feige is interviewed and asked a ton of questions about the future. Mostly, he gives a lot of “wait and see” answers that don’t really provide much information at all.

What the hell is going on with the “Spider-Man” film franchise, right now? On the one side, you have Sony working tirelessly to get the spinoff films happening, with so many TV shows and features in various stages of development and production, but none of those projects feature Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. Then on the other side, there’s Marvel Studios, the co-producers of the latest ‘Spider-Man’ film franchise, but the recently announced plans for Phases 5 and 6 feature absolutely zero Spidey news.

Zack Sharf Fans of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man are getting good news from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who confirmed in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly that Holland’s fourth “Spider-Man” movie is now being written. Marvel had one of its biggest hits ever with Holland’s third-outing, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which became the first pandemic release to gross over $1 billion worldwide. “All I will say is that we have the story,” Feige said about Holland’s anticipated “Spider-Man” return. “We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.” Whether Holland will once again team up with “Spider-Man” actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield remains to be seen. Both actors have expressed interest in returning for a new “Spider-Man” movie.

Disney shares slid into red numbers Thursday after jumping 5% earlier in the day on the news that activist investor Nelson Peltz has ended his proxy fight with the company.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said today that he’s open to selling Hulu — instead of forking over billions of dollars to buy out Comcast’s stake in the streaming platform.
