LASHANA LYNCH
Shawn Levy To Direct Deadpool 3
Director Shawn Levy is officially set to reunite with his Free Guy and The Adam Project leading man Ryan Reynold’s yet again for Deadpool 3.
The big screen return of Reynold’s as the infamous merc with a mouth was always an inevitability given the enduring popularity of the character and mostly positive and profitable response to the first two films.
What does remain to be seen is precisely when the new film will stab and quip its’ way onto the big screen and how much direct connection it will have with events in the wider and typically more family friendly Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It does seem most likely that the foul mouthed katana wielding anti-hero will finally be far more prominently embraced within the exponentially expanding Marvel ‘Multi-verse’. Having casually integrated Tom Hardy’s Venom franchise into the mainstream MCU in Spider-Man No Way Home the door seems firmly open for R-Rated Deadpool to follow the rest of the X-Men in joining the central ranks of the newly unified MCU.
The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent Trailer
Nicolas Cage has finally reached levels of pop culture self awareness and meta genius that scientists previously didn’t believe was possible. As revealed in the new trailer below Cage is playing himself in an absurdly joyous The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent.
The film sees the fictionalized Cage as a floundering mess struggling with the slow death of his Hollywood career and impending financial ruin. Forced to swallow his pride and accept a $1million payday to spend time with a mysterious ‘superfan’. Things quickly turn even more bonkers when the CIA also recruits Cage, hoping to turn his infamous on screen ‘talents’ into real life heroics.
Needless to say, seeing Cage shamelessly delivering a comically full blast performance that pokes relentless fun at every aspect of his flamboyant film work and near mythical real life ‘persona’ treads a truly exciting line between weird and wonderful.
Check out the trailer below for a brief sample of the Nicolas Cage IS Nicolas Cage madness that will grace cinema screens in the UK from 22nd April.

New Oscars Hosts Confirmed
The 94th Academy Awards has announced a trio of hosts for this year’s ceremony, due to be held on 27th March at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre.
Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes will share responsibility for the evening’s proceedings, ending a three year period where the ceremony has not had any official overall hosts.
In a joint statement released on the official Oscar website the comedic trio insisted they wanted people to ‘have a good time’ because ‘it’s been a while’.
The move to have a trio of hosts for the first time since 1987 and opting for an all-female line up is seen as part of a wider attempt to refurbish and rehabilitate the iconic awards event. Largely in response to ever dwindling audience numbers awards organisers are fighting to rebrand the lavish ceremony as more inclusive and relevant.
Next month’s ceremony will include a new prize in a freshly created ‘fan favourite’ category. Unlike other Oscar awards, this honour for the ‘most popular’ film will be determined by online public voting. It also won’t come with an actual Oscar statue but will instead be treated as a distinct standalone prize.
It remains to be seen if the new throng of hostesses and obvious efforts to ‘engage the public more’ with the event and voting is actually able to attract viewers once more. Both this and the actual winners will be revealed on 27th March…
