Fantastic Four star Kate Mara reveals if she will watch the new film
'Fantastic Four' star Kate Mara says she and husband and co-star Jamie Bell will go check out the new movie 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'.
A decade ago, the 42-year-old actress starred as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman in the 2015 film 'Fantastic Four', while her 39-year-old spouse portrayed Ben Grimm/The Thing in the Josh Trank Marvel flick.
And Kate has revealed she and the family will head to the cinema to catch Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic) and co in the new superhero film.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I love going to the movies. It's my favourite thing to do, especially with my husband Jamie [Bell] and our kids. We have an 11-year-old. So I'm sure we'll go, especially for a movie like that where you want to see it on a big screen with an audience and popcorn. Absolutely. It's totally different than ours, so why not? I really love the cast. I love Pedro Pascal. Yeah, I would totally see the new Marvel."
Ebon Moss Bachrach will play Ben Grimm/The Thing, with Vanessa Kirby starring as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.
Pedro recently admitted he found playing Mister Fantastic "really intimidating".
The 50-year-old actor always feels under immense pressure when joining established franchises, having had roles in 'Game of Thrones' and 'Star Wars', because he wants to make audiences "happy" while staying true to himself.
He told Entertainment Weekly: 'It was really intimidating.
'I relied on the people that I was around to hold me to the experience and help get me through it. Stepping into something like Game of Thrones and then going into the early days of Netflix with Narcos and then Star Wars and the world of video games with The Last of Us, each time I've felt like I couldn't top how intimidating the last one was. They're all scary because you really want to make people happy, especially if it's something that's widely known with particular expectations around it because you want those expectations to be met. You also want to be authentic to yourself so that it can be the best that it can be for anybody who wants to be entertained by a story and travel with us into this world.'

Julie Bowen surprised by Happy Gilmore comeback
Julie Bowen thought Sydney Sweeney was set to replace her in 'Happy Gilmore 2'. The 55-year-old actress starred in the original 'Happy Gilmore' movie back in 1996 - but Julie never imagined that she'd return for the sequel. The actress - who played Virginia Venit, Happy's romantic interest, in the original film - told The Hollywood Reporter: "I thought, 'Well I won't be in it'. And that was OK - it was like Virginia Venit, it's been 30 years, he's got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl. "As a matter of fact my children told me, before I was even told officially that there was a 'Happy Gilmore' sequel, my now 18-year-old said, 'Mom, I hear they're doing a sequel and he's with Sydney Sweeney as a cart girl.'" Sydney, 27, was widely linked with a role in the new 'Happy Gilmore' movie - but Julie was pleasantly surprised to be offered a part in the sequel. Julie - who stars alongside Adam Sandler and Margaret Qualley in the new film - said: "I went, I'm hurt and I so respect that move. Of course, why wouldn't you? So when I got the call that I was actually in it, I was like, 'Are you sure? Come on.'" 'Happy Gilmore 2' features cameo appearances from a host of big-name celebrities, including the likes of Bad Bunny, Eminem and NFL star Travis Kelce. Julie particularly enjoyed working with Bad Bunny, admitting that she's a huge fan of the music star. The actress shared: "Seeing Bad Bunny on set I was just like, 'Oh, I can't actually look you in the eye, I'm going to have to walk away,' and I did. I think he was offended and I had to circle back and now I made it worse. "I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to meet her heroes because I think I'm just going to be a jack***." Meanwhile, Adam Sandler is convinced that the new movie can live-up to the original 'Happy Gilmore' film. The 58-year-old actor - who plays the titular character in both 'Happy Gilmore' films - resisted the temptation to make a sequel for many years, but he's convinced that fans of the original movie will love the new project. Adam said on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon': "People have been asking me for a long time, 'Do Happy Gilmore 2', and I was always like, 'Nah, I'll only let you down'. But then me and my buddy, Tim Herlihy, we came up with this idea. "We're really excited about it. We wrote our a**** off. We're continuing to try to make it a movie that you guys will like."

Black Phone 2 is 'more violent, scarier, more graphic'
'Black Phone 2' is "more violent, scarier" and "more graphic" than the original film, according to director Scott Derrickson. The first movie - starring Mason Thames and Ethan Hawke - was based on a short story by Stephen King's son Joe Hill and was released in 2021 with the second instalment now due for release in October - and Derrickson has now told fans they can expect more gore in the follow-up. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "It is certainly more violent, scarier, more graphic. And part of that is because of the age of the kids." The first film followed the story of a teenage boy Finney Shaw (Thames) who is abducted by a serial killer called The Grabber (Hawke) and thrown into a soundproof basement. The youngster then finds out he can hear the voices of the villain's previous victims through a disconnected phone and they try to help him escape. Thames is back for the second film, and Derrickson revealed he wanted to make a follow-up quickly before the young castmembers aged too much. He added: "I thought if I go make another movie first and don't make a sequel now like you're supposed to, then by the time I finish, these kids are all going to be in high school." The second film was helped along by Hill, who sent the director some ideas, and Derrickson is convinced having a slightly older cast gives the film a different feel. He said: "A middle school coming-of-age horror movie is a different animal than a high school coming-of-age horror film ... There's a ratcheting up of intensity because of that." Derrickson previously admitted making a sequel 'wasn't a foregone conclusion". When Screen Rant asked the director what fans could expect from 'Black Phone 2', Derrickson said: 'A lot of surprises, for sure. I just finished shooting 'Black Phone 2', and what I can tell you is that I didn't feel obliged to make a sequel. It wasn't a foregone conclusion that I would make a sequel." On a production budget of roughly $18 million, 'Black Phone' grossed $161.4 million at the box office. Before his return for 'Black Phone 2' was confirmed, Hawke - who had previously worked with Derrickson on the 2012 horror flick 'Sinister' - said he would happily reprise his role as The Grabber in the sequel. The 'Before Sunrise' actor told Collider: 'I had a really wonderful experience making my first scary movie with him. We did a movie called 'Sinister', and he's just a real filmmaker. "I love the way he thinks about film and storytelling. And as I get older, I really enjoy working in different genres as an actor. It's a way to shape [and] change yourself as a performer. 'By trying to learn the math of what makes a great romantic comedy, what makes a great art film, what makes a great horror film, what makes a great Western, you know, there's a certain geometry to all that and Scott is brilliant at that. 'And so, basically, if he wants me to be in 'Black Phone 2', I'm gonna do it.' 'Black Phone 2' is due for release on 17 October 2025.

Sydney Sweeney has become more 'guarded'
Sydney Sweeney has become more "guarded" since shooting to fame. The 27-year-old actress has been working in show business since she was a teenager but her fame has increased over the last few years after she landed a high profile role in TV series 'Euphoria' and went on to star in 'The White Lotus', rom-com 'Anyone but You' and Marvel movie 'Madame Web' - and Sydney admits being well-known is difficult because she had "no idea" how much she valued her privacy until she lost it. She told The Times newspaper: "I've always been guarded. Definitely more so now. You let a few people in who you trust ... "A lot is gone, like privacy. Which is huge. You don't realise how much that means until you lose it. I see all the time: 'Oh, they sold themselves, they knew what they were signing up for.' But 18-year-old me had no idea what she was signing up for." Sydney went on to admit it is women who give her "the hardest time", insisting she has to work hard to be taken seriously in her work. She explained: "I have to be like, I want to be in the room, I want to sit in every single meeting and want to be involved in every decision, I want to be taken seriously as a producer. "I'm very direct, I'm very blunt ... To be honest, actually, I always find that it's the women who give me the hardest time ... "I see it all the time [in auditions] where they don't think I am right for [a role] because they watched [her character] Cassie in 'Euphoria'. "Especially because Cassie was such a sexualised character - that puts a wall up for people. I feel like I'm constantly having to be like, no, no, I'm an actor, I'm supposed to be different characters." It comes after Sydney - who now has her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films - admitted the entertainment industry is tough, but she continues to be fascinated by it. She told Empire: "This industry is so fascinating. There are so many chats, pieces and moves to make, and I find that really exhilarating. "It's constantly changing. I love acting, but being able to step outside of that and then see how everything comes together, and understand what every crew member needs and what it takes to get a project from imagination to conception ... "When people see it in the theatres or on screen, it's been a really long, hard process, but I love it."
