'Fantastic Four's Vanessa Kirby and 'Thunderbolts*' Sebastian Stan Unite for New Movie
Sebastian Stan has made the leap from popular superhero to fan-favorite after reprising his role as Bucky Barnes in Thunderbolts*. He'll now star in a new project with one of the biggest names in the highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, Vanessa Kirby, who'll portray Sue Storm, which is set to premiere on July 25.
As Deadline first reported, Stan and Kirby will headline and produce a new film based on Australian author Amy Taylor's upcoming second novel, Ruins.
The news comes after Deadline reported that Miramax won the rights to Ruins "in a competitive bid." Here's a look at the book's story, which Deadline detailed:
"Ruins follows a couple whose affair with a young Greek woman over the course of a summer in Athens threatens to crack their relationship open in a story about privilege and power, desire and intimacy."
It sounds exciting, to say the least, and it's also a unique project that'll showcase the broad skillset of both stars.
Along with Fantastic Four: First Steps, Kirby was featured in the movie Eden with Jude Law, Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney. She also played The White Widow in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One.
Stan has portrayed the character Bucky in multiple Marvel films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He also starred in the 2024 film A Different Man, among many other projects.'Fantastic Four's Vanessa Kirby and 'Thunderbolts*' Sebastian Stan Unite for New Movie first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025

Michelle Yeoh says ‘hell yes' to English dub of ‘Ne Zha 2' (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 — Michelle Yeoh is lending her voice to the English-language version of Ne Zha 2, the Chinese animated smash that raked in over US$2.2 billion (RM9.3 billion) to become the biggest animated film ever. Channel NewsAsia reported that after watching it in Hong Kong, and also while being fluent in Mandarin, Yeoh found the subtitles hard to follow amid the dazzling visuals — and knew that kids wouldn't stand a chance without a dub. Soon enough, studio A24 and CMC Pictures invited her to voice Ne Zha's mother, Lady Yin — and Yeoh's response was a resounding, 'Hell yes.' The English dub opens in over 2,500 North American theatres on August 22. The film follows the young demon-reincarnate Ne Zha, striving to rewrite his destiny by saving his village and friends. This screen grab shows a scene from the movie featuring Lady Yin, voiced by Michelle Yeoh, and her son, the young demon-reincarnate Ne Zha. — Screengrab from YouTube/A24 The sequel is accessible even if you haven't seen the first one, as it provides all the necessary backstory. Crafted over five years by 4,000 creators across 138 studios, the epic 143-minute spectacle weaves together 2,400 animation shots and 1,900 visual effects scenes. Yeoh praised the artistry, saying the team 'pushed all the boundaries…created this magical world…intricacies are mind-blowing.' The Oscar winner also helped fine-tune the English translation, maintaining a poetic nuance while keeping it contemporary and accessible. After earning over US$20 million in North America with subtitles earlier this year, Yeoh hopes the dub will help Ne Zha 2 resonate even more widely. 'It's the universal language of family... of the underdog,' she said. 'It immerses you into our culture…a beautiful way to cross that bridge.'

She also shared an interest in possibly going to school for filmmaking, saying it "has actually been my dream career since I was 5, so I hope I'm able to study that in college."

Nck Name Talks Starring in TIFF-Bound Comedic Thriller ADULTHOOD
Nck Name is a bona fide artist, through and through. A multi-hyphenate, he's an actor and musician who also works in post-production sound design. He's amassed an array of credits over the years, including roles in Star Trek: Discovery , Netflix's The Madness , Fellow Travelers and Murdoch Mysteries . Next up on the docket is Adulthood , which Nck stars in opposite Kaya Scodelario, Josh Gad and Anthony Carrigan. The comedic neo-noir thriller is slated to make its world premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Recently, I had the privilege of chatting with Nck about his role in the film as Diego, what audiences can expect, collaborating with director Alex Winter and more. RELATED: Shervin Kermani on Crafting TIFF Short Ramón Who Speaks to Ghosts and Working With Werner Herzog This interview is edited for clarity. Nck Name Pictured: Nck Name — Photo credit: Tim Leyes Melody McCune: We at GGA love a good origin story. How did you get into the arts? Nck Name: I've always gravitated toward the life of the arts. When I was 12 years old, I discovered music as an outlet. I remember having this crossroads moment. I went to a career fair. This was back in Colombia. I remember looking at the various options, all these career paths being offered; I remember standing in that hallway. It's one thing to dream about pursuing the arts — it's a very different thing to actually do it. I remember having this moment of asking myself, 'Am I actually going to do this? Are you sure you're not just going to be a lawyer or a doctor?' I remember having this split-second decision of, 'Let's do it.' I've never looked back. It's been my life ever since. Adulthood MM: Let's talk about Adulthood . Can you tell me what it's about and how you got involved with the project? NN: Adulthood is a dark comedy about two siblings who discover a very dark secret from their parents' past. Then, the movie is essentially watching the two of them making the situation worse and worse and worse by making terrible decisions. RELATED: Outlander: Blood of My Blood Press Day: Maril Davis and Matthew B. Roberts My agent reached out to me and told me about the project. I sent in the tape. I heard back from Alex, and he was happy with it. He asked me to try it in various ways. Then, there I was. I jumped on board. I'm playing the sister's husband, who is completely clueless about what's going on, so it's fun to play from that position where, as an actor, [you know] what's happening, but your character doesn't. MM: What can audiences expect when they watch this film? NN: I would say they can expect to be shocked as well as very entertained. I think it's a really funny film. The performances are so good. Anthony Carrigan is incredible. Josh Gad is incredible. Kaya is so good. MM: It's a stacked cast for sure. Do you share any similarities with your character, Diego? NN: I like to think so. We're not exactly the same. He's a professor. I'm an artist, so that alone [has a] very different temperament. Diego is a guy who, for the most part, tries to do right by people. He tries to the best of his ability to make smart choices, and I would say I relate to that. MM: Describe Adulthood using three words. NN: Funny. Dark. Shocking. Working With Alex Winter MM: What was it like getting to collaborate with Alex Winter on set? NN: It was amazing. I had high expectations, and he exceeded them. He had a very clear vision of what he wanted, and surprisingly, this clarity of vision enabled him to be quite flexible in how he collaborated with people. He was so prepared that it helped him navigate the whole thing with ease. Really smart guy. Alex knows how to get the best out of people. Honestly, I know everybody likes to praise each other when it comes to talking about collaborations, but [it was] genuinely an awesome experience working with him. RELATED: Bonggun Kim and Kansei Yasuda on Touring Together for Two Asians One Cup MM: Do you have a highlight or favorite scene you can tease from this movie? NN: I can think of a couple. There's this one scene, it's a dinner scene. We're all sitting down. Just being there to watch this back and forth between Anthony and Josh and Kaya, and getting to play along with them was incredible. Again, it was also fun to be in this juxtaposition of I know what's actually happening, but my character doesn't. Just playing through that was really fun. On the Horizon Pictured: Nck Name — Photo credit: Tim Leyes MM: What else is on the horizon for you, career-wise? NN: I have a film coming up that we are shooting in Malta next year called Watch Me , directed by Jonathan Sharp. I'm really looking forward to the project. I'm playing an actor who is on the rise with his career, but the story dives into some of his skeletons that people carry with them in general. It's a cool little character study. Also, I'm currently doing sound design for this movie called The Christmas Witch Trial of La Befana . We shot that with Anjelica Huston. That's been super fun. RELATED: The Institute 's Viggo Hanvelt Talks Playing Avery in New Horror Series MM: Have you binge-watched anything lately? NN: I haven't. I'm more into making things than watching them. I did watch Adolescence , which I thought was incredible. A total modern-day masterpiece. MM: Lastly, name your top five favorite films. NN: Oh boy, that's tough. I would say Heat . Kill Bill 1 and 2. Let's put The Dark Knight in there. Stranger than Fiction is a beautiful film. Let's put Dumb and Dumber in there, too. Adulthood premieres at TIFF on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at Roy Thomson Hall. Be sure to follow Nck Name on Instagram (@officialnckname).
