Hemsworth family steals the spotlight at dazzling 'Limitless' London premiere
Chris was joined by wife Elsa Pataky and their children, Tristan and Sasha, while younger brother Liam arrived with girlfriend Gabriella Brooks. Their parents, Craig and Leonie Hemsworth, also attended, showing united support for the emotional project.
The Disney+ and Hulu-bound documentary follows Chris as he attempts extreme physical and mental challenges, like climbing a 600-foot frozen wall, enduring Special Forces pain training in South Korea, and even performing a surprise stadium drumming gig, all in pursuit of scientific insight into living longer, healthier lives.
But beneath the adrenaline-fueled stunts lies a personal motivation. While filming the series, Chris discovered he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, which significantly increases his risk of developing Alzheimer's. Although not a guaranteed diagnosis, the discovery cast a new light on the actor's mission for longevity and health, making the documentary more than just an entertainment venture.
Joe Wicks and his wife Rosie were also spotted at the premiere, adding to the star-studded presence.
Limitless: Live Better Now will be available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu starting August 15. The documentary's release is expected to spark important conversations around preventative health, family, and facing the future head-on, even for the god of thunder himself.

Lindsay Lohan reveals advice from Jamie Lee Curtis ahead of ‘Freakier Friday' sequel
Lindsay Lohan is reflecting on timeless advice she received from Jamie Lee Curtis while filming the 2003 Disney hit Freaky Friday. Now 39, Lohan opened up at the NYC screening of their upcoming sequel Freakier Friday, which hits theaters August 8. 'She said, 'How you show up on set is how the whole crew feels. You control the energy that goes on set, so always bring your best self,'' Lohan shared, recalling Curtis' impact during her early years in Hollywood. The original Freaky Friday featured the two as a mother-daughter duo who magically switch bodies. Over two decades later, the sequel takes things further, with a four-way body-swap involving Lohan's on-screen daughter and Curtis' soon-to-be step-granddaughter. Lohan admitted returning to the franchise was deeply emotional. 'It's very full circle for me,' she said. 'It was just a really exciting day when we were first there, all together.' Now a mother herself, Lohan shares 2-year-old son Luai with her husband, Bader Shammas, whom she married in 2022. When asked about motherhood, the Mean Girls star beamed, 'All of it! There's not one favorite part, it's all of it.' Curtis, 66, also reflected on Lohan's growth. 'Lindsay being grown up is something I've watched happen… I watched her get married, I watched her have a baby… and it's beautiful to see.' The reunion marks not just a cinematic comeback, but a personal milestone for both stars, who have maintained a 20-year friendship off-screen.

'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer reveals new tribe and conflict ahead of December 2025 cinema release
Disney has released the first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in James Cameron's Avatar franchise, scheduled for theatrical release on December 19 2025. The trailer introduces the Ash People, a new tribe on Pandora, known for their association with fire and their aggressive tactics. Director James Cameron previewed the film at the 2024 D23 Expo, describing it as a continuation of the expansive narrative that began in Avatar: The Way of Water. Cameron noted that the third film explores 'really challenging territory' for its central characters and brings emotional stakes that surpass the previous instalments. The trailer reveals that Jake Sully, played by Sam Worthington, and the Metkayina clan are now confronting the Ash People, led by a character named Varang, portrayed by Oona Chaplin. The footage shows Varang commanding fire and forming an alliance with Colonel Quaritch, reprised by Stephen Lang. Her closing line in the trailer, 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' sets the tone for the new conflict. Returning cast members include Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and Britain Dalton. New additions to the cast feature Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis. According to Cameron, Fire and Ash was originally part of a combined storyline with The Way of Water, but the project expanded into two films during development. He also teased that the Ash People represent a more violent contrast to the previously introduced Na'vi clans.

Fantastic Four' off to sizzling start
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Disney's hotly anticipated reboot of the Marvel Comics superhero franchise, conquered the North American weekend box office, earning $118 million and sidelining Superman, industry estimates showed Sunday. Fantastic Four - starring actor-of-the-moment Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) - tells the story of a team of heroes trying to save a retro-futuristic world from the evil Galactus. "This is an outstanding opening," said David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. "Fantastic Four was a modest and struggling superhero series; it just caught up with the biggest and the best." Superman, the latest big-budget action film featuring the iconic superhero from Warner Bros and DC Studios, slipped to second place at $24.9 million, Exhibitor Relations said. That puts the global take of the film, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, over the $500 million mark. Jurassic World: Rebirth - the latest installment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga - finished in third place at $13 million. Its worldwide total stands at $672.5 million. The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility, where secrets - and genetically mutated dinosaurs - are lurking. F1: The Movie, the Apple and Warner Bros flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, moved up to fourth place at $6.2 million. Smurfs, the latest film featuring the adorable blue creatures and starring Rihanna as Smurfette, slipped to fifth place in only its second week in theaters with $5.4 million in North American ticket sales. "The box office is on an excellent run that started two weeks ago," Gross said. "These are not the good old days, but Fantastic Four and Superman are performing extremely well. Superheroes are showing some swagger, and it's good news for the industry." afp
