Colin Jost Reacts To Scarlett Johansson Highest-Grossing Actor
Scarlett, who has been acting since the '90s, famously plays superhero Black Widow, and she has appeared in eight MCU films, the highest-grossing being Avengers: Endgame.
After news of Scarlett's major acting feat broke, her husband, Colin Jost, was asked about her achievement by Entertainment Tonight at an event — and in true comedian style, he immediately took the opportunity to poke fun at himself.
'When you think about it, combined, me and her are probably one of the top couples at the box office ever,' he quipped. 'She's probably doing a little bit more of that lifting, but combined, you know what I mean? That could be a huge record, too.'
'I've been in several number-one movies. I basically only do number-one movies,' he said, citing Tom and Jerry, Coming 2 America, and How to Be Single.
While it seems pretty obvious that Colin was joking, some internet users took his response seriously. One person commented, 'So his first thought after hearing her success is to weirdly leech off it... uh yeah HUGE red flag,' while another said, 'She deserves better.'
However, thankfully, many others caught on to Colin's joke and jumped to his defense in the comments. 'why are people taking his answer so seriously he's clearly joking,' one popular comment read. 'it's a joke he's not being serious,' someone else wrote.
Going on to praise Colin's lighthearted reaction, one person wrote, "Honestly, this feels so on brand. And I love that he never seems to feel threatened by her success and openly praises her on TV, SNL, etc."
Wholesome!

When is 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" sees a new incarnation of Marvel's First Family making their big debut, and the MCU's final movie of 2025 seems to be another strong outing (after "Thunderbolts"). "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" takes us back in time to a retro-futuristic world, introducing us to the group — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they defend the Earth from a terrifying presence: Galactus (Ralph Ineson). The movie's already on its way to success: at the time of writing, it's bested James Gunn's "Superman," earning a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than the DCU summer blockbuster. And, given the amount of hype behind "Fantastic Four: First Steps," box office success seems bound to follow. If you can't make it to the movies to see the new "Fantastic Four" movie anytime soon, we don't currently have a "Fantastic Four: First Steps" streaming date just yet. That said, below I've made an educated guess at when the movie might be available to watch at home. At the time of writing, the only way to see "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is by heading to your nearest movie theater. It only hit the big screen on July 25 (or July 24, in the U.K.), and that's likely where it'll stay for some time. And before it makes its streaming debut, the "Fantastic Four's" new adventure will first hit premium video-on-demand (PVOD) storefronts like Amazon or Apple. Like I mentioned, we do not yet have a streaming release date for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," but I have an idea of when the movie might land on Disney Plus. Right now, I'm predicting "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will come to Disney Plus in (or around) October 29, 2025. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That's based on the average length of time we've waited for recent Disney releases to come to Disney's streaming services. For example, Rami Malek thriller "The Amateur" recently came to Hulu (and Disney Plus, outside the US) 98 days after it hit the big screen. "Snow White," meanwhile, came to Disney Plus 83 days after it premiered, whilst "Captain America: Brave New World" landed on May 28, 104 days after it first hit theaters. Looking further back, we waited 97 days to stream "Mufasa: The Lion King," and 106 for "Moana 2". So, if we assume we'll wait around 90-100 days to stream "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" on Disney Plus, we arrive at that potential Disney Plus release date of Wednesday, October 29, 2025 (hence my guess above). Nothing official has been confirmed by Disney, though, and if this new Marvel release approaches "Deadpool & Wolverine" levels of box office success, there's every chance Disney might keep it in theaters a little longer. As soon as we get any official news or a confirmed "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" streaming date, we'll be sure to update this article.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps post-credits scenes, explained
Marvel's favourite family is officially back on the big screen as they join in on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and give us a glimpse at their retro-futuristic Earth as they face off against Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. While this does mean that we won't see them interact with our other favorite heroes, we still have to wonder how it'll all connect with the rest of the MCU as we get closer to Avengers: Doomsday. So does the film's post-credit scenes offer up any clues? Here's everything you need to know about the end-credit scenes in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. They might be from a different Earth, but The Fantastic Four know a thing or do about tradition. Not only does The Fantastic Four: First Steps include a mid-credits scene, but there's also a fun surprise if you wait all the way until the end. Like we mentioned, there is one mid-credit scene and another in the post-credits. In a big surprise, we're suddenly sent four years in the future where we see Sue Storm reading to Franklin on the couch. As they finish up another read, she sets out to find his favourite book with the help of H.E.R.B.I.E., who actually has a really funny suggestion for the book that Franklin might want to check out next. She finds the book in the kitchen, but feels that something is off when she returns back to the living room. Sue activates her powers as she tries to see what is happening behind the TV that's in the middle of the room when we suddenly see Doctor Doom (!!!) playing with Franklin. While we don't see their face, we do see him sporting the iconic green cloak while holding their mask in their hand. Immediately the screen goes to black and shows the words: 'The Fantastic Four Will Return in Avengers: Doomsday' After getting our heart pumping with that big hint, we get a different kind of surprise for the post-credit scene. Throughout the entire film, we have heard about The Fantastic Four cartoon and even got to see some glimpses of it. But now, we got to see the whole opening theme song including a catchphrase from our favourite clobberin' hero. It might not be a huge look at the future of the series, but it is still a fun way to end a great film! And, don't forget, The Fantastic Four were already featured in the post-credit scenes for Thunderbolts*, so we already know that a big link-up was going to happen. Hopefully we find out more real soon!

Jessica Alba, ‘Top Gun: Maverick' actor spend time in Cancun as she embraces single life: report
Jessica Alba appears to be enjoying her summer after filing for divorce from her estranged husband, Cash Warren. Alba, 44, sparked romance rumors after she was spotted boarding a plane headed back to Los Angeles from Cancun with "Captain America" star Danny Ramirez, TMZ reported. The outlet reported that the two spent time together in the sun-soaked town. Despite the reported quick getaway, sources told People magazine that Alba isn't dating anyone seriously, and is instead relishing in her new role as a single woman months after the "Honey" actress petitioned a Los Angeles court to end her 16-year marriage. In video obtained by TMZ, Ramirez, 32, and the "Fantastic Four" actress both attempted to go incognito by wearing snapback hats as they left Mexico for L.A. on Sunday afternoon. Upon arrival in the City of Angels, Alba and Ramirez walked closely together as they were escorted through a private terminal by a security guard. Alba and Ramirez's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Ramirez portrayed Lt. Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia in "Top Gun: Maverick," and played Falcon in "Captain America: Brave New World." He'll reprise his Marvel character for "Avengers: Doomsday," which also stars Robert Downey Jr., Pedro Pascal and Chris Hemsworth. Alba has reportedly been on a few dates since announcing her split from Warren in February, insiders told People. "She's been getting a lot of attention since the divorce. She's flattered and definitely enjoying being single again," sources said. "She's gone on some dates, but it's nothing serious — she's focused on herself and her kids. She's not interested in a relationship right now." The mother-of-three is "excited" to dive back into work, and will soon begin filming "The Mark" in Australia with Orlando Bloom, who recently ended his engagement with Katy Perry. "She's in a great place. She's excited to get back to filming. She's doing what she loves and keeping her circle tight," the source told People. In January, the Honest Co. founder announced her split from Warren after 20 years together. "I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash," she wrote on Instagram. "I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals." She added, "We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time." Alba and Warren met on the set of "Fantastic Four" in 2004 and tied the knot in 2008. In the divorce petition filed in February and obtained by Fox News Digital, the pair requested joint custody of their three children — Honor, 16; Haven, 13; and Hayes, 7.
