Anthony Mackie is apparently on his way to begin filming "Avengers: Doomsday" in London and the "Twisted Metal" star appears to be teasing a very dark movie. In an Instagram story, via ComicBookMovie.com, Mackie posted a selfie from the inside of an airplane. He's wearing a "Powerpuff Girls" t-shirt, and he's chosen a very interesting filter. The filter is one that's made to look as if there's blood all over the screen. He captioned the story with, "And so it begins..."

Even without further context, Mackie seems to be implying we need to be ready for a good amount of bloodshed in "Avengers: Doomsday", but the bloody post seems particularly meaningful thanks to an interview Mackie took with Collider last week.

Asked how he felt after reading the script for 'Avengers: Doomsday,' Mackie answered, "You know what? I was really excited, man. It's one of those stories that really pushes the boundaries, and it — the cliffhanger at the end, you know, the last moments of the film — it really builds and sets us up for a way for the continuation of the Marvel saga, which is really exciting."
Mackie then added, "You see these characters, and you see how they're introduced and how they play in the universe moving forward, and no one is safe. Everyone is expendable."
So, from Mackie saying "everyone is expendable" to the star posting a picture of himself made to appear he's been sprayed with blood, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to assume Mackie is hinting we need to brace ourselves for a lot of deaths in "Avengers: Doomsday".
Of course, this wouldn't make the film necessarily all that different from 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War," which ended with most of the MCU's heroes taken out by Thanos. Of course, most of those heroes would return in the 2019 follow-up, "Avengers: Endgame", though not all.
"Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to hit theaters May 1, 2026. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr.

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.'" Related: 21 Incredible Photos Of Hollywood Legends Back In The Day That I Guarantee You've Never, Ever Seen Before When Blake Lively's allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against Justin became public that December, Liz issued a statement stepping away from the podcast, adding, "Thank you for being here, for trusting me, and for being by my side for the last four years. 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."

Dakota Johnson Shocks With Blunt Response To 'Today' Show Question
Dakota Johnson knows exactly what she wants in a relationship. Johnson made an appearance on the 'Today' show on Monday, to promote her new movie, 'Materialists,' where she plays a matchmaker. During the interview with her co-star Chris Evans, the two were asked about a dating non-negotiable they would give a real-life matchmaker. Evans, who is married, said 'They must love dogs ― gotta love dogs.' 'If you're not a dog person, what are we doing?' he asked. Johnson was much more blunt in her take. 'Like, not an asshole?' the actor said as the rest of the studio laughed and 'Today' show host Craig Melvin looked slightly shocked and nodded his head. 'That's concise!' Evans quipped. 'There it is. Nail on the head.' 'Nail on the head,' Melvin said. 'And we're actually going to probably have to clean that up for the West Coast feed. That's OK.' People in the comments of an Instagram post sharing the clip loved Johnson's refreshing take, and praised her for her blunt response. 'Dakota and her spontaneous honesty,' one commenter wrote, as another added, 'I watched this live. Dakota, always be you. Perfect answer!' Someone else in the comments confirmed that Johnson's response was indeed cleaned up for the West Coast feed. 'Bahahahahaha!!! It got bleeped out here,' one person wrote. Johnson may soon be using this non-negotiable to vet potential suitors, as multiple outlets reported that the actor split from longtime partner Chris Martin last week. 'It feels final this time,' a source told People magazine. The two have been on and off since 2017.

Marvel's 'Ironheart' just got a new trailer — and now I can't wait to stream the new Disney Plus show
Marvel's "Ironheart" is just a few weeks away, and Disney Plus has just given us another look at what's in store in the form of a new trailer for the forthcoming six-part series. The first "Ironheart" trailer largely hinged on Riri's first "interview" for her gig working with "The Hood," before seeing her assembling her new suit (and then taking it for a spin and upending a speeding truck). This new one sees Riri talking about taking things apart and seeing "what they're made of," and the teaser very much seems like the theme of the show. Showing Riri meeting with Alden Ehrenreich's character (who concludes there "might be a hero in there"), the new trailer shows her building her suit and putting it to the best before turning to out-of-the-box thinking for her powers. In my opinion, it's a stronger teaser, one that better gives us an idea of Riri's mettle and sells the stakes that little bit more; the presence of that chaotic magic definitely makes proceedings that little bit more intriguing. I'm left with two big questions: what's the rest of that suit gonna look like when it's infused with magical powers, and what's happened to the figure that sure looks like Anthony Ramos' "The Hood" to make him appear as he does around the one-minute mark? Those expanding, thorny sigils creeping across his body can't be good news, right? Could Mephisto be making his MCU debut in "Ironheart"? I can't wait to find out. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Excited? "Ironheart" is getting a three-episode premiere on June 24 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 24 (or Wednesday, June 25 in the U.K.). If you're not sure what to expect from the "Ironheart" show, Disney has already shared a synopsis for the new show. It reads: "Set after the events of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' Marvel Television's 'Ironheart' pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) — a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world — returns to her hometown of Chicago. "Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins, aka "The Hood" (Anthony Ramos)." In addition to Thorne and Ramos, "Ironheart" also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, Jim Rash, Shea Couleé, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Anji White, among others. Can't wait for "Ironheart" to arrive?
