‘Shogun' star Cosmo Jarvis replaced by Logan Marshall-Green in Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey'
The actor was initially attached to the Universal Pictures production but has exited due to scheduling conflicts, according to industry sources.
Jarvis is now preparing to lead the biopic 'Young Stalin', in which he will portray the early life of the infamous Soviet leader. With filming underway on multiple fronts, his commitment to that project reportedly clashed with the shooting schedule for 'The Odyssey', forcing him to step down from Nolan's ambitious adaptation.
Jarvis' role in 'The Odyssey'—details of which remain closely guarded—has since been filled by Logan Marshall-Green, known for his work in 'Prometheus' and 'The Defeated'. The recasting was first reported by Deadline.
'The Odyssey', currently filming in locations including Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland, is based on Homer's ancient Greek epic poem. The film will be released in IMAX on July 17, 2026, and stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, King of Ithaca, who must navigate a treacherous return journey home following the Trojan War.
Along his perilous voyage, Odysseus encounters mythical beings such as Polyphemus the Cyclops, the Sirens, the nymph Calypso, and the witch goddess Circe. Back in Ithaca, his wife Penelope cleverly fends off persistent suitors by unravelling a tapestry each night, clinging to the hope of her husband's return. His memory is kept alive by his son Telemachus, played by Tom Holland.
The film boasts a star-studded cast including Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and Anne Hathaway, with Greek gods such as Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus also set to appear in the narrative.

Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer leaks online after exclusive screening, fans say another billion to James Cameron
The trailer for James Cameron's upcoming fantasy epic, Avatar: Fire and Ash was leaked online shortly after it was exclusively screened in theatres. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney had attached the trailer specifically with 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' across cinema halls, only for the unauthorised visuals to make their way across social media platforms. A still from Avatar: Fire and Ash Multiple copies taken down Efforts are being made to reduce the viral circulation of the Fire and Ash trailer, with multiple copies now taken down from the internet. The same happened with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the trailer of which was released in theatres ahead of Jurassic Park Rebirth. Fans reaction gained momentum Even though multiple videos of the Avatar sequel's trailer have been removed, fan reactions have already gained momentum. One of the fans wrote, "The trailer has some of the most beautiful footage I've seen all year, and I was struck by the real sense of doom and rage -- fist fights inside of cosmic volcanoes, heroes terrified, huge aerial battles," as quoted by the outlet. One more added, "It started out as 'meh, more of the same' and ended with 'yup, another billion to James Cameron." The trailer will send viewers back to Pandora, further introducing two tribes, the Wind Traders and the Ash People clan. It also includes glimpses of Sam Worthington's Jake Sully, Zoe Saldana's Neytiri, and his Na'vi family, embroiled in an intense fight with the Ash People clan, stated The Hollywood Reporter. It also shows the return of Colonel Miles Quaritch. At one point, Sully warned Neytiri and said, "We cannot live like this," before being taken into captivity. The trailer leak came days after the makers unveiled the first look of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash, introducing the first look of Varang - a new antagonist. "Meet Varang in Avatar: Fire and Ash. Be among the first to watch the trailer, exclusively in theatres this weekend with The Fantastic Four: First Steps," they wrote in the caption. The Disney film will be released on 19 December 2025.

How Arjun Kapoor Lost 50 Kg In 15 Weeks With A Simple Exercise And No Junk Food
Arjun Kapoor is known for his fitness, but that wasn't always the case. He lost the extra weight before he entered Bollywood in 2012. Did you know he was a 140 kg teenager? The Two States actor lost a whopping 50 kg before he made his debut in Bollywood opposite Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade. Walking Played A Big Role In Arjun Kapoor's Weight Loss Journey Arjun Kapoor's weight loss journey took months of hard work. According to reports, it took him 15 months to reach his fitness goals as he had shared in now a deleted Instagram post. In an interview with the Times of India, Arjun Kapoor revealed that he relies on walking. "When I was fat and overweight, as a kid also, I believed in one thing: that there's nothing better than walking. Even today, when I want to lose weight, I just keep in mind to get out there and walk. Just be physically active. You cannot sit on your best eating food and then cribbing about the fact that you're not losing weight," he shared. According to The Indian Express, Arjun Kapoor, who once revealed that he is a foodie, gave up on junk food and avoided overeating to keep himself healthy and fit. He also avoids high-carb and sugary foods and swaps them with fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-protein foods. A Look Into Arjun Kapoor's Healthy Routine Reportedly, the 40-year-old has shared his everyday routine in now a deleted Instagram post: Arjun Kapoor had shared that his breakfast generally consists of high-protein foods such as eggs, after which he hits the gym. He has his lunch around 1:30 pm, which mostly consists of a Greek Souvlaki Wrap, after which he looks after his meetings and work calls till 5 pm. Arjun Kapoor enjoys an evening snack that comprises Turkey Sushi, which is high in energy, protein, carbs, and fibre. He hits the gym after that. For dinner, Arjun Kapoor has Turkish kebabs with muhammara sauce, mint chutney, and pickled vegetables. The Half Girlfriend actor included weight training, circuit training, CrossFit training, and cardio exercises in his workout routine. Arjun Kapoor Battled A Disease That Made Him Gain Weight In 2024, Arjun opened up about being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition that can slow down metabolism and cause weight gain. He revealed that he had sought therapy for mild depression in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India. "I haven't always opened up about it, but I also have Hashimoto's disease (the autoimmune disease damages the thyroid gland), which is an extension of thyroid. It's almost like I can take a flight and gain weight because the body goes into distress... your body is in fight-or-flight mode. "That (Hashimoto's disease) happened to be when I was 30, and I defied it and I said, 'No, this can't be'. My mom (Mona Shourie Kapoor) used to have it, and my sister (Anshula Kapoor) also has it... If I look back today, I can see myself and my body changing through the course of my films. Now that is 2015-16, that's seven-eight years of me holding that physical trauma and then my films not panning out at the same time," he said in the same interview. While Arjun Kapoor has lost more than 50 kg, his weight loss transformation is ongoing. He said in the TOI interview that his weight loss journey is a "work in progress".

Zayn Malik shares a behind-the-scenes snap of his daughter Khai vibing to Blackpink; take a look
If you didn't know this already, Blackpink is for the girlies, the gays, the dads, and their star kids. The latest celeb to join the pink wave was Zayn Malik, who just shared an Instagram story of himself and his four-year-old daughter Khai at Blackpink's Deadline World Tour concert in New York City. Held at Citi Field, this was the group's last show in North America. Additionally Blackpink has become the first-ever K-pop girl group to headline Citi Field Stadium. Zayn Malik with his daughter, Khai at the Blackpink concert Zayn, 32, kept things low-key with his usual dad-in-a-cap aesthetic, but fans quickly clocked his surprise presence at the show — especially when he posted a blurry selfie with Khai from the stands. While Gigi Hadid and Zayn parted ways in 2021, they've remained amicable co-parents, and outings like this show just how much they're prioritising Khai's happiness (and, clearly, her taste in music). About the tour The Deadline tour has created huge buzz not just among fans, but celeb attendees too. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas were seen vibing to APT at another NYC tour stop — the very song Priyanka revealed on The Tonight Show to be daughter Malti Marie's favourite. 'It's her morning anthem,' she said. Priyanka Chopra Jonas' story While Blackpink concerts have always been buzzy, the Deadline World Tour has taken things to another level. Spanning 16 cities and 31 shows — from New York and LA to Tokyo, Milan and Bangkok — it marks the group's first comeback after two years of solo projects.
