ATHENS, Greece — Greece is honoring the late clarinetist Petroloukas Chalkias, whose hypnotic, note-bending performances over the course of more than 70 years made him a hero of mountain folk music.
Chalkias, who died at 90 over the weekend, lay in state Wednesday at the Athens Cathedral — a rare honor typically reserved for prime ministers and religious leaders.

'Fantastic Four's Vanessa Kirby and 'Thunderbolts*' Sebastian Stan Unite for New Movie
After they're finished fighting off villains and saving the world, two of the biggest names in the 2025 superhero film landscape are set to team up. And they'll do so in a genre that's an extremely far cry from the Marvel world. Sebastian Stan has made the leap from popular superhero to fan-favorite after reprising his role as Bucky Barnes in Thunderbolts*. He'll now star in a new project with one of the biggest names in the highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, Vanessa Kirby, who'll portray Sue Storm, which is set to premiere on July 25. As Deadline first reported, Stan and Kirby will headline and produce a new film based on Australian author Amy Taylor's upcoming second novel, Ruins. The news comes after Deadline reported that Miramax won the rights to Ruins "in a competitive bid." Here's a look at the book's story, which Deadline detailed: "Ruins follows a couple whose affair with a young Greek woman over the course of a summer in Athens threatens to crack their relationship open in a story about privilege and power, desire and intimacy." It sounds exciting, to say the least, and it's also a unique project that'll showcase the broad skillset of both stars. Along with Fantastic Four: First Steps, Kirby was featured in the movie Eden with Jude Law, Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney. She also played The White Widow in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. Stan has portrayed the character Bucky in multiple Marvel films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He also starred in the 2024 film A Different Man, among many other projects.'Fantastic Four's Vanessa Kirby and 'Thunderbolts*' Sebastian Stan Unite for New Movie first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025

According to Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb, the previously rumored Greek God of War game for PS5 has been pushed to 2026. During Grubb and Mike Minotti's latest episode of Last of the Nintendogs, Grubb let out that little 'nugget' during the Super Chats portion of the show. 'I have Marathon and the unannounced new God of War Greek project, which I heard was pushed into 2026, as well.' Rumors about the Greek God of War project have been swirling quite a bit this year. Back in January this year, fans began speculating that the next iteration of the beloved PlayStation series would be heading to Egypt. However, known insider Tom Henderson claimed it would be set in Greece, which Grubb has since corroborated. In terms of what this new God of War game entails, it is rumored to be a spin-off. Specifically, it will supposedly be a 2.5D metroidvania and feature Kratos before he becomes a god. It is also claimed that Deimos would return. Of course, like all rumors, it might be best to take it with a grain of salt. As of now, the Greek God of War project has yet to be formally revealed by Sony. Even if true, the game's development timeline can change at any moment, which lead to these supposed internal delays. For PS5 and PS4 players itching to play a God of War game set in Greece, God of War 3 Remastered is available to purchase on the PS Store. PS Plus Premium subscribers can play the game at no additional cost. The post Another PS5 Exclusive Quietly Delayed to 2026 – Report appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.
