‘Avengers: Doomsday' Will Introduce a 'Different' Sue Storm

‘Avengers: Doomsday' Will Introduce a 'Different' Sue Storm

The Toxic Avenger has his health insurance denied, Saw XI gets an autopsy, and Nia DaCosta throws her last two movies under the bus. Plus, our best look at Rick Flag, Sr.'s pompadour yet! De Wanna Wanga, it's Morning Spoilers!
During her recent appearance at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (via THR), Nia DaCosta stated 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple boasts 'a good script,' something she notes her Candyman remake and The Marvels both sorely lacked.
Making the 28 Years Later sequel was one of the best filmmaking experiences I've had. One of the issues I had with Candyman and Marvels was the lack of a really solid script, which is always gonna just wreak havoc on the whole process. But Alex Garland hands you a script, and you're like, 'This is amazing.' You don't really have to change it, although I did. I basically asked for more infected. [Laughs.] That was, like, my big contribution. I inherited an amazing cast, then I was given the leeway to cast the rest of the film. There were a couple locations I inherited. I was given leeway to develop all the other locations. Some of it overlapped, like the character Samson — Danny [Boyle] and I would collaborate a bit on the look, but at the end of the day, Danny shoots so different from the way I shoot.
In conversation with MovieWeb, Vanessa Kirby suggested Sue Storm has been permanently altered by her death and resurrection in Fantastic Four: First Steps.
I've been thinking a lot doing Avengers and stuff about how someone that's been through, in the space of basically a week, someone who has given birth and has died and come back to life… how a death experience like that would change you. I've been listening to a lot of people that have had those kind of experiences and what they learn, and therefore how different they are after they come back from that.
During a recent interview with The Wrap, Sean Gunn stated he 'doesn't see a problem' with Maxwell Lord at present and so isn't playing the character as a villain in the DCU.
I just wholeheartedly agree with [James Gunn's] comment that, to call the character a villain is certainly not something that is leading the way for me as I tackle the character. I think he's a lot more nuanced than that. And I don't really see the problem with what he's doing so far.
Speaking with Comic Book, producer Patrick Melton revealed the original idea for the canceled eleventh Saw film before the franchise was sold to Blumhouse would have been set '30 seconds after Saw X ended'.
Mark [Burg] and I had a difference of opinion about how Saw 11 would be. It's really too bad. We had everybody in, including Synnøve [Macody Lund, who played Saw X villain Cecilia Pederson] coming back from Saw X. She's amazing. The script that we had was going to take place 30 seconds after Saw X ended.

Who is Noel Clarke?

Born in London, Noel Clarke was raised by his mother, a nurse. He studied media and took classes at London's Actors Centre before making his debut in the 1999 Channel 4 TV series Metrosexuality. In 2003, he won the Most Promising Performer award at the Olivier Awards for his performance in Where Do We Live at the Royal Court Theatre, and then significantly widened his fan base by playing Billie Piper's boyfriend, Mickey Smith, in Doctor Who. He also gained fame as Wyman Norris in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, before later writing and starring in the acclaimed film trilogy Kidulthood, Adulthood and Brotherhood, directing two of them. He co-founded his own production company, Unstoppable Entertainment, in 2007, which has produced films including Jessica Hynes's directorial debut, The Fight, and 10×10, directed by Suzi Ewing and starring Luke Evans and Kelly Reilly. He then won the Bafta rising star award in 2009, crediting the award for his long career. In 2015, Clarke's former friend Adam Deacon was given a restraining order following hundreds of abusive posts aimed at Clarke on Instagram and Twitter, after a row over the title of Deacon's hit 2011 film Anuvahood. In 2018, Unstoppable Entertainment joined forces with All3Media and launched Unstoppable Film and Television to expand their remit to include television, which led to the launch of Sky One drama Bulletproof, in which he starred prior to the allegations coming to light. Bafta then awarded him the outstanding British contribution to cinema prize in April 2021, but this and Clarke's membership of the academy were suspended after the allegations against him were published by the Guardian. Clarke dropped legal action against the academy in 2022, but launched a libel claim against Guardian News & Media (GNM) the same year. During the High Court trial earlier this year, Clarke appeared visibly emotional as he claimed the publisher had 'smashed my life'. He said: 'They have smashed my life for four years with this rubbish, this nonsense. Four years.' He continued: 'I did not do this, I would not do this. I have got children. This is not true.' He later said that while he was 'a flawed guy', he added: 'The reason I stand here four years later is I am not what they have branded me.'

Noel Clarke set to learn outcome of libel claim against Guardian publisher

Actor Noel Clarke is set to discover whether he has been successful in his High Court libel claim against the publisher of the Guardian on Friday. Clarke, 49, is suing Guardian News and Media (GNM) over seven articles and a podcast, including an article in April 2021 that said 20 women who knew him professionally had come forward with allegations of misconduct. Clarke denies the allegations, while GNM is defending its reporting as being both true and in the public interest. A trial earlier this year heard from multiple witnesses who made accusations against Clarke, including that he had allegedly shared nude photographs of them without their consent, groped them, and asked them to look at him when he was exposed. Barristers for Clarke told the court that there is a conspiracy of people with financial and personal grudges against him who engineered his downfall because they could not bear to see him receive a Bafta award. Mrs Justice Steyn is set to hand down her ruling at 10.30am on Friday. The trial of the libel claim was held from early March to early April at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Clarke, who has previously appeared in TV shows including Doctor Who, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and Bulletproof, gave evidence over several days. At one stage, he appeared visibly emotional as he claimed the publisher had 'smashed my life'. He said: 'They have smashed my life for four years with this rubbish, this nonsense. Four years.' He continued: 'I did not do this, I would not do this. I have got children. This is not true.' He later said that while he was 'a flawed guy', he added: 'The reason I stand here four years later is I am not what they have branded me.' Philip Williams, representing the actor, said that his client was a 'casualty' of a media 'purge' following the emergence of the MeToo movement. He continued that Clarke was made a 'scapegoat' and was an 'easy target' because he was at the height of his success when the media industry 'zealously sought to correct itself'. The barrister also criticised the Guardian's investigation, saying the newspaper 'manifestly failed to do its job properly'.Mr Williams asked the court to find the claim successful, saying the Guardian's reporting has caused serious harm to Clarke's career, with 'continuing hostile reactions online and in public discourse'. Gavin Millar KC, for GNM, said there is 'not a shred of evidence' to support Clarke's claim of a conspiracy, describing it as 'nonsensical and rather desperate speculation'. He said Clarke has a 'very clear motive to lie' because he 'stands to lose a great deal'. In written submissions, Mr Millar said Clarke 'used his power to prey on and harass female colleagues' over a period of 15 years. He said: 'This was a careful and thorough investigation conducted conscientiously by Guardian journalists who were aware of the potential pitfalls. 'They received information from a wide range of sources with direct evidence of misconduct and in each case carefully considered and tested the information they were given, electing to publish only such information as they believed was credible.'

Real Madrid star sends message to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah

This comes after the Egyptian secured for himself an altogether prestigious individual accolade. Salah, for those not aware, was this week named the PFA Players' Player of the Year. As much saw the 33-year-old etch his name into the history books of English football, as the only player to have ever won the award on three separate occasions. Messages of congratulations, in turn, have since come pouring in for Salah from across the world of football. And as alluded to above, one such message was forthcoming on the part of a member of the defensive ranks at Real Madrid. After striking up a close friendship with Salah during their time shared at Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold took to his official Instagram account, to unveil a photo of his ex-teammate, accompanied by the caption: 'History' Conor Laird – GSFN
