Thunderbolts Cast Compete In Cast Trivia
Thunderbolts* follows Yelena, who suddenly finds herself stuck in a rut and feeling alone and isolated after working for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine for several years. When she ends up fighting alongside Bucky Barnes, John Walker, Ava Starr, Alexei, and a mysterious new guy named Bob, Yelena suddenly finds herself on an unlikely team of heroes.
So, to celebrate this new entry into the MCU, BuzzFeed had the cast — Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lewis Pullman, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, and Geraldine Viswanathan — compete in a game of Cast Wars, aka a trivia game all about each other.
And literally nothing about each other was off limits. Like, we started with the cast guessing what Meryl Streep told Florence she desperately wanted while filming a scene for Little Women.
The cast had to guess who David's biggest celebrity crush was, and spoiler, he got to work with her every single day on the set of Stranger Things. *cough* Winona Ryder *cough*
And we tested their knowledge on one of Julia Louis-Dreyfus's iconic Veep quotes about a croissant because, let's be honest, we all need more Selina Meyer in our lives.
And they even learned new things about each other, like the fact that Sebastian starred in Gossip Girl or that Geraldine was gifted a purse by Taylor Swift.
Basically, they are my new favorite cast, and I cannot wait to go watch Thunderbolts* again.

And be sure to watch Thunderbolts*, which is in theaters now!

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Breaks Rotten Tomatoes Curse for Marvel's First Family — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios just scored a major win. With 130 reviews counted, The Fantastic Four: First Steps holds an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, officially earning the coveted Certified Fresh seal. This marks a huge moment for the MCU and a much-needed victory for the superhero genre. Recent Marvel releases have had mixed results. Thunderbolts* was a critical hit but underperformed at the box office, topping out at $382 million. Captain America: Brave New World faced harsh reviews and barely crossed the $400 million mark worldwide. Against that backdrop, First Steps is a breath of fresh air for the studio. What makes this milestone even more cool is the history behind it. Every previous Fantastic Four film has been critically panned. Tim Story's 2005 take earned a dismal 27%, while its 2007 sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer managed only 37%. Then came Josh Trank's infamous 2015 disaster, which crashed and burned at 9%, making it one of the lowest-rated superhero movies of all time. Even Roger Corman's unreleased version, which somehow made it onto Rotten Tomatoes, sits at 33%. This new chapter changes everything. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the first entry produced by Marvel Studios and the only one to score Fresh, let alone Certified Fresh. It's a monumental turnaround for a franchise long considered cursed. The critics' consensus sums it up perfectly: 'Benefitting from rock-solid cast chemistry and clad in appealingly retro 1960s design, this crack at The Fantastic Four does Marvel's First Family justice.' I loved the movie, and I'm looking forward to watching it again! The movie was visually awesome and there area couple of badass action sequences that fans are going to flip over! Galactus was also incredibly cool! You can read my review here. Marvel has actually figured out how to bring Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm to life in a way fans and critics can enjoy and appreciate. This is definitely the beginning of something epic for the MCU as it sets up Avengers: Doomsday , which is going to be insane.

I Want To Know The Most Messed Up Thing Your Boss Has Ever Done
By now, you've likely caught a case of secondhand embarrassment after the former CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, was caught on a kiss-cam allegedly cheating on his partner with another member of the company, which went viral and subsequently led to his resignation from his role. It's been the talk of the internet for the last week, even prompting Coldplay to warn their audience first before panning the camera at random. One could imagine how many questions the employees of Astronomer had to field in the wake of the incident. With that said, Byron certainly isn't the first CEO to get caught up in a scandal. I'm positive that the majority of bosses and CEOs in this world have probably found themselves in some sort of controversy, though maybe it wasn't as it was, though. With that said, I want to ask the BuzzFeed Community: What is the most messed-up and wildest thing that your boss or CEO has ever done? Did your CEO get caught having an affair with the secretary, and promote her instead of firing her? How about that time your manager asked the team to "tighten budgets" while he expensed a Rolex? Was there ever an incident where your CEO faked climate credentials just to get good PR with a high-profile client? Did your CEO launch a "sustainability" campaign while flying private jets to Coachella? Has your boss ever told you to 'be more passionate about the mission' while laying you off without severance? Did your company claim to be 'family first' while denying your coworker parental leave? Whatever the scandal was, big or small, we want to know the wildest and most messed-up things you've ever witnessed your CEO or boss do. If you have some wild stories about your current or former boss/CEO/employer, drop them in the comment section below. However, if you prefer remaining anonymous, feel free to fill out the form below.

‘Fantastic Four' First Reactions Say Film Is One of the ‘Best Things Marvel Has Ever Made' With ‘Stunning Visuals' and ‘Excellent' Performances From Leading Cast
Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' has been unveiled to members of the film press, and first reactions are praising the MCU epic as a 'visual feast' with 'snappy, confident storytelling.' Next Best Picture editor-in-chief Matt Neglia wrote on X that the Marvel tentpole lives up to its namesake of 'fantastic,' hailing the film's 'excellent' leading quartet and 'delightful' retro-futuristic aesthetic. More from Variety John Malkovich's Red Ghost Cut From 'Fantastic Four'; Director Says 'It Was Heartbreaking Not to Include Him' (EXCLUSIVE) 'Fantastic Four,' Assemble: Director Matt Shakman on Casting Marvel's First Family Without Auditions and 'Corporate Pressures' Not Being 'My Burden to Shoulder' Mark Gatiss on His New Series 'Bookish,' the 'Romance of Crime' and Not Having to Worry About Spoiling 'Fantastic Four' He wrote, 'Combined with Matt Shakman's snappy, confident storytelling, this is an intriguing & satisfying first step for Marvel's new team (easily the best depiction of this quartet on-screen to date) as the MCU continues to regain control of the ship & steer it closer to 'Doomsday.'' Entertainment journalist Brandon Davis also took to X to share his thoughts. He wrote that 'Fantastic Four' was one of the 'best things Marvel has ever done' and compared the visuals to those of Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar.' 'Galactus is awesome. Silver Surfer looks really, really good. VFX were often immaculate,' Davis wrote. 'Cosmically and on Earth, Matt Shakman dropped a visual feast.' People staffer Sharareh Drury echoed the praise, writing on X that 'Fantastic Four' was 'breathtaking.' She gave particular kudos to Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, who play MCU power couple Reed Richards and Susan Storm, respectively. 'Stunning visuals, a moving story, witty banter and epic action. Marvel's First Family delivers one awesome ride,' she wrote. 'Pedro Pascal nails it as Mr. Fantastic. Vanessa Kirby stands out as Sue Storm – she's a shooting star.' Rounding out the leading four alongside Pascal and Kirby are Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. 'First Steps' follows the titular super squad as they defend Earth from the gargantuan planet-eating space tyrant Galactus. Matt Shakman directs with a script by Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan. Other cast members include Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Niles and Paul Walter Hauser. Variety exclusively reported that John Malkovich was originally set to appear in 'First Steps' as one of the Fantastic Four's earliest foes, Red Ghost, but was ultimately cut out of the film. Shakman said it was 'heartbreaking not to include him in the final version of the movie,' adding that he was 'honored' Malkovich had joined the project in the first place. 'There were a lot of things that ultimately ended up hitting the cutting room floor,' Shakman said. 'When we were building a '60s retro-future world, introducing all of these villains, introducing these four main characters as a group, as well as individually, introducing the idea of a child — there was a lot of stuff to balance in this movie and some things had to go ultimately in terms of shaping the film for its final version.' 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' hits theaters July 24. Check out more first reactions below. '#FantasticFour is a story about family above all else, where each member of the team is equally important. No one is underserved; the movie excels when fleshing out the various bonds between Pedro, Vanessa, Ebon, & Joseph. The retro '60s aesthetic works on all fronts.' – '#FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. It's emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesn't stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.' – Deo (@frickyuu) 'Fantastic Four friggin' rocks! More than any Marvel movie before it, F4 feels like Jack Kirby's imagination brought to life on the big screen. Between this and Superman, 2025 might go down as the year movies finally embrace the wonderful weirdness of comic books.' – Chris Killian (@chriskillian) 'Nothing will prepare you for #TheFantasticFour First Steps. Pedro Pascal is the perfect Reed, but the entire cast shines and does right by these characters. It's funny, moving, gorgeous to look at, and non-stop FANTASTIC. This is @MarvelStudios at its brilliant best.' – Josh Wilding (@Josh_Wilding) Best of Variety New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?
