Ana de Armas Says She's ‘Obviously' Working With Tom Cruise Amid Dating Rumors
Ana de Armas recently spoke about her equation with Tom Cruise. The pair is working on a new project that includes Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie. Both Liman and McQuarrie have frequently collaborated with Cruise in several action films. McQuarrie is also the writer of Cruise's current film in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
Ana de Armas has been often spotted with Tom Cruise in the past few months, but the actress says it is because the duo is working together. In a recent interview with Women's Wear Daily, Armas gushed about the extensive 'training' that she is currently participating in, thanks to the Mission Impossible thespian.
The 37-year-old Oscar-nominated actress revealed, 'Obviously, everyone knows I'm working with Tom Cruise. We're working on something with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie, and those guys are unbelievable at everything they do.'
Armas teased, 'I'm doing crazy training, as you do when you're working with Tom. It's another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher.' She further shared, 'But it's so much fun. And we're not only working on that thing that we're training for, but also a couple other things too.'
Additionally, sources close to the celebrities have reportedly said the duo 'appeared to have no romantic connection.' The duo were photographed together in February in London. At the time, a source told PEOPLE they grabbed dinner together along with their agents. The pair spent time 'discussing potential collaborations down the line.'
Meanwhile, Armas is also starring in a John Wick franchise film, Ballerina, which will hit the theaters on June 6, 2025. Aramas plays the role of Eve Macarro, a ballerina who has started an unconventional training following the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
As much as Ballerina is an action film, Armas says it is also about the character's emotional journey. The Blonde star explained in her WWD interview, 'As much action as there was on the page, I could see the heart too. The character has such a beautiful journey. The emotionality of the character is so important in the film, I was just like, 'oh, I have to do this.''

Justin Baldoni's Former "Man Enough" Podcast Co-Host, Liz Plank, Reacted To His Lawsuit Being Dismissed
Justin Baldoni's Man Enough podcast co-host Liz Plank reacted to his lawsuit against Blake Lively being dismissed. The podcast, which "explores what it means to be a man today," began in 2021, with its most recent episode posted in October of last year. The name echoes Justin's book and viral 2017 TED Talk, "Why I'm done trying to be 'man enough.'"

We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it. I will have more to share soon as I continue to process everything that has happened. In the meantime, I will continue to support everyone who calls out injustice and holds the people standing in their way accountable." Yesterday, a judge dismissed Justin's countersuit against Blake, which notably included claims of defamation. Shortly beforehand, Liz had asked people on Instagram to "send us your boy problems" for an upcoming episode of her new podcast, Boy Problems. In response to the lawsuit being dismissed, Justin's lawyer said, "Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle."

How ‘Ballerina' Set People on Fire
When Chad Stahelski, best known as the driving force behind the 'John Wick' franchise, was in high school he volunteered with his local fire department. Over the years the images from that experience stuck in his head, and the former stuntman started to dream up an action sequence involving lots and lots of fire. 'I'm like, 'Wouldn't it be cool if I combined fire and water, and we had a flamethrower fight?' Stahelski, a producer of 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' said in a video interview. 'Two guys with flamethrowers and they are going to shoot each other.' Watching an early cut of 'Ballerina' he realized he had the ideal vehicle for his fire dreams: It would be a showstopper for the star assassin, Eve, played by Ana de Armas. 'How do I make her look smart? How do I make her look badass? It wasn't about fighting more guys,' he said. 'It's like, OK, let's give her something that really shows a skill set. And that's when we went to fire.' The result is a bravura third-act set piece in which Eve torches her enemies in an Alpine village, going flamethrower to flamethrower with a massive villainous henchman named Dex (Robert Maaser). Instead of using digital flames, 'Ballerina,' directed by Len Wiseman, mostly went for the real thing. According to Stahelski, 90 to 95 percent of the fires onscreen are 'unenhanced real burns.' To accomplish this, Stahelski called in an expert in the world of movie fire, the stuntman Jayson Dumenigo, who developed a long-lasting protective burn gel for stunt performers that recently won him an honor from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Even Dumenigo was skeptical they could accomplish what Stahelski had in mind when he first heard the pitch. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Henry Cavill Says His WARHAMMER Series Is a 'Dream Come True' and a Challenge He's "Enjoying Enormously' — GeekTyrant
It's been three years since Amazon first announced that it had teamed up with Henry Cavill to bring Warhammer 40,000 to life in live action. Since then, the updates have been slow, but Cavill hasn't let go of his dream. In fact, he's doubling down. In a recent interview with Esquire, the actor-turned-executive-producer opened up about what it's like to be steering the ship for one of the most expansive and intimidating sci-fi IPs out there, saying: 'It's different from what I've done before, in the sense I haven't had my hand on the tiller of things before. It's wonderful doing that. It is a tricky IP, and a very complex IP, and that's what I love about it. 'The challenges that come with putting this on the page in a way that is doing justice to that complexity, that trickiness, and that nuance, is a challenge I'm enjoying enormously.' For longtime fans of the Warhammer universe, and of Cavill, this is exactly the kind of commitment you want to hear. Cavill previously said: 'For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life.' But beyond that initial burst of excitement, details have been kept under wraps. At the tail end of 2024, Cavill offered a brief update, hinting that he and the creative team had zeroed in on their launch point for the franchise: 'Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe.' What that starting point is remains a mystery, but if Cavill's obsessive enthusiasm and long-running love for the source material are any indication, fans are in good hands. This isn't someone casually stepping into a producer role. This is someone who paints miniatures, builds custom gaming PCs, and actually knows what the Adeptus Mechanicus is. In a world where big franchises often fall into the hands of people who barely understand what makes them special, Warhammer 40K might have found its champion. Cavill wants to do it right.
