Kevin Feige Spills Tea On Next 7 Years Of Marvel Movies; Anne Hathaway Shares First Look At 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'
Huge news on massive upcoming movies just dropped, and it's already making major waves! From the streets of New York City to the grand multiverse – here's what you need to know about two surefire blockbusters currently in development! Anne Hathaway Shares BTS Pix Of 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' After almost two decades of waiting, we're finally getting our first look at the much-awaited sequel to the beloved comedy/drama 'The Devil Wears Prada'. In these brief glimpses, not only do we get to see the lead star Anne Hathaway reprise her role as Andy Sachs, but they also clue us in on what to look out for. In her Instagram post, Hathaway can be seen posing right by a massive number '2' statue, rocking a patterned dress and a tan bucket hat. We can also see her wear this exact outfit in one of the early photos taken by BACKGRID, alongside a hanger bag that reads 'Runway', suggesting her return to the iconic fictional publication. 'The Princess Diaries' star also doubled down by posting an additional photo of her showcasing a pinstripe sleeveless vest with matching pants. We also see her strike a nostalgic pose while on the phone – many fans were quick to notice the resemblance and rightfully responded by creating memes about the iconic moment. For those who are not familiar with the plot, it centres on Andy, a budding journalist who accepts a position at a fashion magazine, but is ultimately controlled by her demanding editor, Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly. The sequel will see the two actors reprise their roles, with the plot centring on Priestly struggling to stay afloat with the decline of traditional magazine publishing amidst the rise of its digital counterpart. She is also facing friction with people like Emily Blunt's Emily Charlton, Miranda's former assistant-turned-ultra-powerful exec for a luxury advertising company. Nostalgia be damned, as we will also be seeing an injection of fresh, new faces, such as Kenneth Branagh, who will be playing Miranda's husband. Unfortunately, however, we do not know more than that, as the cast remains tight-lipped about any more details outside of what 20th Century Studios said in its press release. We can expect the cast and crew to drip-feed us more information in the coming months, though, as we draw closer to its 1st May, 2026 release date. Kevin Feige's 'Seven-Year Plan' Includes 'X-Men,' 'Blade' & Other Future Titles To say this is a big month for Marvel would be a gross understatement. The highly anticipated summer blockbuster 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is just a few days away from its theatrical release — and to say it is the most important movie since 'Avengers: Endgame' (and will affect the MCU as a whole) might be another understatement. Despite this, the entertainment company is already gearing up for what's next in the company's timeline. Earlier this week, Marvel boss Kevin Feige invited several big-name US-based news outlets to the Marvel headquarters for a sit-down conversation where they discussed the company's next step moving forward. At this private yet casual function, the Marvel president teased his 'seven-year plan' that will run all the way until 2032. In it, several familiar titles, such as 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' (Summer 2026), 'Avengers: Doomsday' (2026), and 'Avengers: Secret Wars' (2027), remain unchanged. However, Feige said that although there is still a plan, outside of the three aforementioned titles, nothing is set in stone for now. One of these is the possibility of the Mahershala Ali-led 'Blade' movie finally seeing the light of day, following several pushbacks and being left alone in development purgatory. 'You can start and have a good script and make it a great script through production, but we didn't feel confident we could do that on 'Blade'.' Feige reasoned when discussing the postponed film. Following that would be the X-Men title, which is rumoured to arrive after 'Secret Wars'. There, Feige mentioned that it will somewhat 'reset' the timeline after the whirlwind of events that transpired during the Multiverse Saga. Following that blockbuster, Feige said they will go back to working with a 'singular timeline'. However, he did not elaborate as to why Marvel will be moving forward with that plan – but we can speculate that it is to correct the course and focus in on the mutant storyline. As for 'X-Men' itself, he did not reveal more than what we already know, such as that Jake Schreier will be directing the film. He also did not share where X-Men will fit in on all this, pre- or post-timeline reset. With so much at stake as well as the timing, we can not easily write this off as mere coincidence. And as many Marvel movies have done before, the answer may lie in the upcoming 'Fantastic Four' movie. Source: E! News, Empire

(Video) Singer Hafiz Suip Admits His Anger Problems Caused His Marriage To Fail?
Earlier this year, singer Hafiz Suip revealed he had divorced his wife, Nureffy Jasreel Abdullah, after nearly 10 years of marriage. While the star never detailed the split, he recently hinted that his anger problems had a role in causing it. Earlier this week, the singer shared a cryptic post on Instagram, hinting at something on 11th January 2026, which many fans believe is a new concert. While Hafiz hasn't announced what is happening on the mentioned date, he has uploaded a series of interviews titled 'Di Sebalik Hafiz (Behind Hafiz)' to count down to the announcement. The interview included questions about his personal life and his views on topics like love and family. In the second episode of the interview series, the singer talked about his biggest regret. Tearing up, Hafiz said that his biggest regret was rage, revealing that his uncontrollable anger is one of the reasons for his recent personal issues. He continued, 'Rage is not the solution to your problems. You have to control that', hinting that he has previously let his anger overcome his emotions, which may have led to his marriage failing. Hafiz and Nureffy tied the knot in 2016, but announced their decision to split in January 2025. The pair said the reason for the divorce was irreconcilable differences, but denied rumours of a third person. After his divorce, the 35-year-old moved back to his hometown of Kuching, while his ex-wife gained full custody of their two children. In the same video, Hafiz revealed his current relationship with his children. The singer couldn't hide his sadness when mentioning his kids, revealing that he rarely communicates with them now that they live separately. While Hafiz admits to missing his children, he also hinted that he feels guilty about contacting them given their strained relationship. The star also acknowledged that his ex-wife is better suited to take care of the children, likely due to his anger issues. Fans have since extended support for the singer, hoping he'll get out of his current slump. Some also expressed anticipation for his announcement, saying they look forward to seeing Hafiz back on stage. We also wish all the best for Hafiz, and we can't wait to see him bounce back to the star he once was. In the meantime, check out Hafiz's interview below: Sources: Instagram (1)(2), BeautifulNara

#SHOWBIZ: Singaporean actress Kimberly Chia shares 'embarrassing' reason behind hospitalisation
SINGAPORE: Actress Kimberly Chia has openly discussed the surprising and "embarrassing" cause of her recent hospital visit. In a recent Instagram post, the 29-year-old artiste revealed she experienced intense back pain that unexpectedly worsened one morning. "I had been having a dull, bearable backache which I ignored," she shared alongside a video of herself being wheeled into a hospital on a stretcher. "Then on Thursday morning, while getting ready for work and brushing my teeth, I gagged while cleaning my tongue and suddenly bent forward." That sudden movement triggered a sharp pain in her back. "I felt something snap, and it was so painful I saw stars. I blacked out briefly, though I was still conscious. I screamed for my husband, and he helped me lie down. "I was crying and couldn't move. Every attempt to get up was excruciating, so we called an ambulance." Chia, who is married to 37-year-old businessman Vincent Yeo and is a mother to a three-year-old son, was kept overnight for observation. "Everything looked normal, but the pain was intense. I was on strong painkillers, yet the pain didn't ease," she wrote. "I couldn't sit up or move. It's still painful now, but I'm feeling better and can move slowly." Laughing at the situation, she added: "I was reluctant to share the real reason because it's so embarrassing?! Haha." Best known for her role in the 2011 crime drama 'On The Fringe', Chia recently made a cameo in the 2024 horror-comedy 'The Chosen One'. In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao published on July 21 after her discharge, Chia said she is now recovering and plans to begin physical therapy, as well as undergo an orthopaedic assessment. Although she maintains a regular fitness routine and has no history of back problems, the injury has temporarily limited her movements. "I can walk, but I can't bend over or make large movements, and I have to turn slowly," she explained. "I can't drive either. Pressing the accelerator or brake affects my back. But other than that, I'm okay."
