Marvel seems to have developed a new marketing strategy: really, really long videos. Case in point: Marvel just released a 10-hour-long meditation video featuring Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil kneeling on a rooftop in the rain. You can watch the video for quite a long time below.

Titled "Meditate with Daredevil", the video includes sounds of rain and thunder, as well as city ambiance like honking horns. Cox remains in the same position the entire time, sometimes looking away from the camera and sometimes looking toward it. As is customary in just about every nighttime shot of Daredevil on the page or screen, there are multiple water towers in the background.

The caption to the video reads "‎Take a break from fighting crime and enhance, reflect, and refocus yourself with Daredevil, AKA Matt Murdock. Watch Daredevil: Born Again on ‪@disneyplus‬."
Marvel is building up quite a library of meditation videos. A month ago, to the day, Marvel posted an 8.5-hour-long video of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in his yellow-and-blue "Deadpool & Wolverine" get-up, doing nothing for most of the video but breathing.
Unlike the Daredevil video, Jackman would occasionally change position in an homage to the iconic cover of 1982's "Wolverine" #1, flashing his claws with one hand and beckoning the reader closer with the other. The caption of the video reads, "April is National Stress Awareness Month, so breathe deep and feel your adamantium bones melt away. Watch Deadpool & Wolverine on ‪@disneyplus‬."
Ironically, both Cox and Jackman are two of the biggest Marvel names left out of another really, really long Marvel video: the 5-hour video that revealed the cast of next year's "Avengers: Doomsday" via actors' chairs.
Cox recently reacted to his missing name during an interview with Collider, saying, "It's not there, is it? Listen, the way that information gets to us is the same way that it gets to everyone else normally. At least historically, that's been the case. Someone sent me the link. I looked for my name. It's not there. So, maybe one day..."
Of course, regardless of how many long meditation videos he stars in, it's tough to take Cox's word at face value. Along with Andrew Garfield, Cox famously fibbed about his presence in 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home".

Marvel's 'Ironheart' just got a new trailer — and now I can't wait to stream the new Disney Plus show

Marvel's "Ironheart" is just a few weeks away, and Disney Plus has just given us another look at what's in store in the form of a new trailer for the forthcoming six-part series. The first "Ironheart" trailer largely hinged on Riri's first "interview" for her gig working with "The Hood," before seeing her assembling her new suit (and then taking it for a spin and upending a speeding truck). This new one sees Riri talking about taking things apart and seeing "what they're made of," and the teaser very much seems like the theme of the show. Showing Riri meeting with Alden Ehrenreich's character (who concludes there "might be a hero in there"), the new trailer shows her building her suit and putting it to the best before turning to out-of-the-box thinking for her powers. In my opinion, it's a stronger teaser, one that better gives us an idea of Riri's mettle and sells the stakes that little bit more; the presence of that chaotic magic definitely makes proceedings that little bit more intriguing. I'm left with two big questions: what's the rest of that suit gonna look like when it's infused with magical powers, and what's happened to the figure that sure looks like Anthony Ramos' "The Hood" to make him appear as he does around the one-minute mark? Those expanding, thorny sigils creeping across his body can't be good news, right? Could Mephisto be making his MCU debut in "Ironheart"? I can't wait to find out. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Excited? "Ironheart" is getting a three-episode premiere on June 24 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 24 (or Wednesday, June 25 in the U.K.). If you're not sure what to expect from the "Ironheart" show, Disney has already shared a synopsis for the new show. It reads: "Set after the events of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' Marvel Television's 'Ironheart' pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) — a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world — returns to her hometown of Chicago. "Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins, aka "The Hood" (Anthony Ramos)." In addition to Thorne and Ramos, "Ironheart" also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, Jim Rash, Shea Couleé, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Anji White, among others. Can't wait for "Ironheart" to arrive? Check out our guide to the best shows on Disney Plus for help finding your next watch on the House of Mouse's streaming service to help pass the time until June 24.

Miley Cyrus Bangerz Era, Hip-Hop Comments Divide Fans

In 2017, Miley Cyrus released her sixth studio album Younger Now, which was described by Pitchfork as a bold 'statement of reinvention' following her infamous Bangerz era. When Miley released her self-described 'dirty south hip-hop' album Bangerz* in 2013, she embraced a very provocative persona, boldly cutting her hair off, singing about topics like recreational drug use, and, of course, twerking on Robin Thicke at the VMAs. After a few years, Miley's public image totally shifted. She grew out her hair, rekindled her relationship with Liam Hemsworth*, and started penning songs about inoffensive topics. Enter: Younger Now. While she was promoting the 2017 album, Miley memorably made critical remarks of hip-hop — the same genre that had influenced Bangerz. She told Billboard, 'I also love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song ['Humble']: 'Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks.' I love that because it's not, 'Come sit on my dick, suck on my cock.' I can't listen to that anymore. That's what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much, 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my cock' — I am so not that.' Fast forward to today, and Miley has reflected further on her relationship with hip-hop. During a recent appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Miley was asked if she was 'playing a character' during her Bangerz era. She replied, 'I really did what I wanted to do…It was marketed not just by me, but just by the way that the press perceived it, as this is like some rebellious thing…That to me, that's a strategy, and I, that's not really what I do.' Then, when asked if she had 'fallen in love' with hip-hop, Miley said, 'Yes, because all my friends, that's all we listened to,' adding, 'It's not a genre, it's a statement.' 'For me, hip-hop at the time was my soul. [Those were] the concerts that I was sneaking out to go to. That was the thing that my parents wouldn't let me listen to, you know,' she went on. 'I wasn't unique in the fact that I was a white girl listening to hip-hop,' she said before quipping, 'Like, just go look at a fucking Coachella set list.' Miley was later asked if she had 'any different perspective' on her relationship with hip-hop now, and whether or not she felt differently about inserting herself into that world because she spent a lot of time listening to the genre. She replied, 'I wasn't just listening like a regular person with headphones on to Juicy J, I was friends with Juicy J, actually. So like, I don't know what to say. Like, I was actually smoking fat fucking wax bowls with Wiz Khalifa. Like, I'm not faking!' Reacting to Miley's comments, several fans were left pretty disappointed that she avoided taking 'accountability' for her 'cultural appropriation.' 'she didn't want to be a Disney star anymore. she wanted to be edgy. She benefited from the 'lifestyle' then rejected it when it no longer suited her image. And yes, people change their tastes as they grow older, but she should at least be able to acknowledge all of this after all these years with a few less 'likes' and excuses,' someone said, while another person wrote: 'Every time I think she's going to make a point it doesn't happen. Girl.' Let me know what you think below. You can find Miley's full interview here.

‘Eddington' Trailer: Ari Aster's Western of Pandemic Paranoia Hits Theaters After Dividing Cannes

A24 has dropped the trailer for 'Eddington,' Ari Aster's modern western that divided the Cannes Film Festival after its Croisette premiere. The film will hit theaters nationwide July 18 — and it very well may 'hit' with heated debate. The film takes place in 2020 — yes, that 2020 — in the most visceral way, with the anti-mask local sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) of the fictional Eddington, New Mexico, facing off against the town's COVID-guideline-advocate mayor, played by Pedro Pascal (the second of his three summer releases). The heavy-hitter cast also includes Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Belleau, all of whom represent various perspectives on the pandemic spectrum. More from IndieWire Pedro Almodóvar's Next Movie 'Bitter Christmas' Set for Spanish Theaters and Streamer Movistar Plus+ 'Pinch' Review: Taut Debut Highlights One Woman's Response to Sexual Harassment - and Complicity IndieWire reported last month on the film's polarizing audience response, with people truly either loving or hating the film, and few in between. The cast and crew addressed the controversial COVID epic's hot-button reactions at a Cannes press conference. 'It's very scary to participate in a movie that speaks to issues like this,' Pascal said. 'It's far too intimidating a question for me to address. I'm not informed enough. I want people to be safe and protective. I want very much to be on the right side of history … I felt like [Aster] wrote something that was all our worst fears as that lockdown experience was already a fracturing society. This was building toward an untethered sense of reality. There is a point of not going back. I was overwhelmed by that fear, and it's wonderful that it was confirmed by Ari.' 'I wrote this movie in a state of fear and anxiety. I wanted to try and pull back and show what it feels like to live in a world where nobody can agree on what is real anymore,' Aster added at the same presser. IndieWire's David Ehrlich wrote in his A- review that the director is 'exclusively interested in making the kind of films that should be reviewed straight onto a prescription pad, is too beholden to his neuroses for his latest movie to play like a cheap provocation. This time, however, there's a good chance those are your neuroses, too.' Prior to its release, 'Eddington' will open the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 16. It will be in theaters everywhere July 18. Watch the trailer below.
