Disney 'planning reboot' of iconic film series... and fans want Pedro Pascal to play the lead
Disney is reportedly planning a reboot of one of its most beloved film series... and fans want Pedro Pascal to play the lead. Rumors erupted this week that the company is going to remake the popular Indiana Jones movies. The first Indiana Jones film, made by LucasFilm, came out in 1981 and starred Harrison Ford as an archaeology professor named Indiana Jones who was asked by the US government to find a hidden relic before the Nazis. Along the way, Indy faced booby traps, a slew of life or death situations, and even some romance as he raced against time to try to uncover the artifact. The action-packed movie was a massive success, and over the last four decades, the franchise went on to release four more films as well as a prequel television series. Now, it's been speculated that Disney - who acquired LucasFilm in 2012 - wants to do a 'full reboot.' DisInsider reported earlier this week, 'Lucasfilm is letting the franchise rest for a bit before they do a full reboot of the franchise. 'I would expect the studio to announce something next year at the D23 Expo because even though the last film tanked at the box office, Indiana Jones is still an iconic IP and Disney/Lucasfilm do not want to waste that.' Amidst the rumors, fans have been debating who should play the iconic titular character, known for his whip, hat, and snarky one-liners, on X (formerly Twitter). And there's one actor who seems to be a top choice - The Last of Us star Pedro, 50. One X user shared an article about the alleged reboot and included a snap of Harrison in the original film but edited Pedro's face onto it, and it quickly went viral. 'We all know what's coming,' they captioned it. The post gained more than 10 million views and tons of replies from other fans who agreed he'd be perfect for the role. 'Pedro would be a fantastic choice in the Indiana Jones reboot,' one person wrote. 'This actually works amazingly well,' agreed another. Someone else added, 'I'd watch the hell out of it!!!' The post gained more than 10 million views and tons of replies from other fans who agreed he'd be perfect for the role 'This would be peak casting,' read a fourth tweet, while a fifth said, 'I'm 100 percent for it, go get it Pedro.' Others suggested Chris Pratt, Glen Powell, Ryan Gosling, and Bradley Cooper. Pedro certainly seems to have a great relationship with Disney as he starred in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian from 2019 until 2023. He's now gearing up to play Reed Richards in the new Marvel flick The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which premieres later this month.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship has hit a 'turning point'
The romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has reportedly reached a 'turning point' as the singer and NFL superstar have spent plenty of low-key time together in recent months. A rare period of calm after Tayloe wrapped her worldwide 'Eras Tour' last December, combined with Travis being in the NFL's offseason since February, has given the lovely couple more time than ever together. That period may be coming to a close as training camp looms for the Kansas City Chiefs later this month. For now, the pair have elevated their relationship, per PEOPLE, with life as quiet as it can get for one of the most popular celebrities in the world and her beloved sportsman partner. 'It's been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways,' PEOPLE reported. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis. 'Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together. They've been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other's company without all the usual chaos. 'This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.' It has not been completely quiet for Taylor and Travis over the last few months, attending an event together for the first time as a couple several days ago. At the Tight End University event, the pair were clearly locked in on each other, including sharing some PDA in front of cameras. Taylor also regained control of her masters last month, a move to gain further control of her career, which has been years coming. 'Reclaiming her masters has been emotional and empowering,' PEOPLE reported. 'She's proud, relieved, and finally feels like a chapter has closed in the best possible way.' 'Having Travis by her side for that milestone made it even more special. He was honored to support her and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.' Taylor has attended 23 NFL games since she started dating Travis, all while having touring commitments. 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,' PEOPLE stated. 'Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule.' 'This fall will be completely different. It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar. 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work.' Last season, outside of the Super Bowl, Swift only attended Kelce's games in Kansas City. With more free time on her hands, and only seven chances to watch Kelce play not in Missouri, but in the United States, that may change as this 'turning point' has occurred.

Michelle Obama slammed for promoting products ahead of Fourth of July in 'strange' new move
Michelle Obama has baffled social media users after she filmed herself flogging a 'useless' drink ahead of Fourth of July celebrations. On Wednesday, the former First Lady, 61, took to Instagram with a friendly reminder for her 57 million followers 'to stay safe and hydrated this Independence Day weekend.' In a promotional video, Michelle - whose marriage to Barack Obama has been mired with rift rumors - shared her message with a bottle of PLEZi Fizz and PLEZi Hydrate clearly visible in the foreground. 'I just love everything about the Fourth of July,' she began. 'Friends, family, barbecue and fireworks. And, as you and your families are out there, don't forget to stay hydrated. 'PLEZi Hydration or PLEZi FiZZ are great options with less sugar to try out this weekend. Have a great holiday weekend everybody.' Michelle's followers were perturbed by her advertisement though, with many feeling uneasy to see her promoting a drink. Taking to the comments, one wrote: 'This is so strange.' 'No, Michelle please, don't sell us useless products,' another added. 'You lowkey too good to be doing this,' said a third. A fourth continued: 'It's really weird that you're like hawking a drink. It seems beneath you.' But there is a simple explanation for Michelle's promotional video: she is a co-founder of PLEZi Nutrition. Michelle has spent several years working to help families lead healthier lives, and she is hoping that her new drink brand, sponsored by Stephen Curry, Alysha Curry, and Kristen Bell, will help shake-up the industry. 'As a mom and as First Lady, I've seen how critical good nutrition is at all stages of development,' she penned in a letter about the brand's story. 'It's why I've spent so many years working to help families lead healthier lives. 'But l've also learned that if you want to change the game on this issue, you have to change the food and beverage industry itself. 'That's what we're doing with PLEZi Nutrition, and it's why I'm proud to serve as Co-Founder and Strategic Partner. Michelle's followers were perturbed by her advertisement though, with many feeling uneasy to see her promoting a drink 'We're a Public Benefit Company that's working to drive the kind of positive change that I've always hoped to see — and set higher standards for how we make and market food and drinks along the way.' Michelle continued: 'Our initial focus is on beverages because that's where so much added sugar is consumed. 'While water is always the best, PLEZi is a great option for those moments where you want something else. 'Our drinks not only significantly reduce sugar and sodium, they include more nutrients than other leading options—and they're delicious, too! 'Still, we know that changing the industry isn't about a few drinks or even one company. 'We need everyone — business, government, nonprofits, and folks like you — to come together and create the better, more nutritious options that so many of us are looking for. 'I hope you'll join us and give PLEZi products a try — and don't forget to tell us what you think!' PLEZi Fizz is made with real fruit and contains no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Similarly, PLEZi Hydration also has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners. It also contains 500mg potassium. A case of Plezi Fizz - which comes in Lemon Lime Squeeze, Cherry Limeade and Strawberry Lemonade - costs $13.79 for 18 cans at Costco.
