The Hollywood stars are set to attend a fan event to celebrate the release of Fantastic Four: First Steps at Hoyts Entertainment Quarter on Tuesday.

The film marks the latest reboot of Marvel's iconic superhero team and is one of the studio's most anticipated releases in years.
In February, Marvel fans were delighted to see the first-look trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
They took to social media to give their opinions on the latest installment of the superhero franchise, with one person writing on X: 'Okay the Fantastic Four trailer wasn't bad. I'm pleasantly surprised.'
Another added: 'I'm not even a Fantastic Four fan, but this looks really sleek. It's nailing the period setting in the same way that First Avenger did.'
Someone else weighed in: 'Watched the Fantastic Four trailer and I actually excited for a Marvel movie again.'
And another social media user described the Fantastic Four comic series as 'the only ones I've been able to stomach,' adding, 'The trailer looks so great. I need this.'
'I've felt a little burnt out on superheroes but f4 are my ride or die,' one fan revealed. 'I'm so happy the movie looks good.'
Others praised the teaser for its 'nostalgic' feel and looking 'very cinematic.'
The film will be released nationwide on July 24.

EXCLUSIVE Former Hollywood producer exposes the dark side of the industry as she admits she 'exploited' pain for views

A former Hollywood producer has laid bare the dark side of the industry, confessing that she became a master at 'exploiting' pain and suffering for views. Beth Bigler, 44, spent 20 years working as a Hollywood development executive, writer, and producer. She famously worked on reality TV shows like the Real Housewives of Atlanta, as well as 'fast-paced game shows, heartfelt competition series, and gripping investigative documentaries.' Part of her job was finding people who had gone through something traumatic and were willing to talk about it on camera. She quickly learned that 'authentic pain' is what would bring in the most ratings - but she admitted that turning 'someone's most raw moments into compelling television' eventually started 'eating away' at her. After two decades working in TV, she left it all behind to do something she felt was more fulfilling: pet grief counseling. Now, she has opened up about her journey and the things she witnessed while working Hollywood exclusively with the Daily Mail. 'Here's what I learned [during my years in Hollywood]: sometimes Hollywood exploits raw emotion for ratings,' she explained. 'I became skilled at spotting authentic pain and understanding what makes must-watch television. 'I always gravitated toward stories others dismissed or overlooked. I spent decades shining a spotlight on underrepresented narratives.' While Beth admitted that she 'excelled at her job,' she said sitting back and watching people discuss their trauma started to become a 'challenge' for her. 'Unscripted TV requires you to turn someone's most raw moments into compelling television,' she continued. 'You're balancing what people want to share with what viewers want to see.' She said she often felt torn, wanting to help the subject while also thinking about how she could 'craft' their story for 'maximum impact.' Beth dished, 'When someone breaks down on camera when they're talking about an estranged parent, a mistake they made, or a devastating divorce, you're simultaneously thinking, "this person is in real pain" and "this is powerful content, how do we craft this for maximum impact?" 'You develop this split awareness where you can witness genuine suffering while calculating its entertainment value. 'I got exceptional at that dance, but it started eating at me. Reading people's grief became second nature. 'I understood what they needed emotionally, but my job was to serve the story, not serve them.' Of course, working in TV was also incredibly exciting and came with a slew of benefits. 'One day I'm in a rehearsal for a new quiz show, the next I'm on set with A-listers,' dished Beth. 'You get this backstage pass to everything: celebrities, network executives, the whole glamorous circus. 'There's nothing like the rush when a show you championed gets picked up. I remember getting calls at midnight about talent drama or being in boardrooms where million-dollar decisions were made in seconds. The adrenaline was intoxicating.' But while it was an 'amazing ride,' she often craved something more 'meaningful.' In December 2017, Beth said she had an 'awakening' after her 'soulmate cat' Arnie was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. She said it 'felt like her whole world was collapsing' so she turned to a pet loss grief counselor to help her prepare for the loss. Then, during one vet visit she bonded with a woman in the waiting room whose cat was dying, and she used what the pet loss grief counselor had taught her to help the woman. 'Sitting with her through that heartbreaking goodbye, something clicked. This was the work I was meant to do,' she said. Arnie sadly passed away soon after, and she decided it was time to leave her Hollywood job behind and start a new endeavor. She launched Honoring Animals, where she 'works with individuals and families before, during, and after the loss of their beloved animal companion.' She has also released a book on the topic, entitled Honoring Our Animals: 365 Meditations for Healing After Pet Loss, and is a regular contributor to podcasts, articles, and other media. And she believes her years in TV helped make her so good at her new job. 'It's that same ability to see [people's] truth, but now I'm thinking, "How can I support them through this?" not, "How can we use this for ratings?"' she explained. 'I now have the tools, space, and perspective to be present and make a real difference instead of only capturing their pain. 'The same skills, different purpose: bringing unheard truths into the light, whether that's on screen or in someone's grief.' She described her work now as 'much more intuitive and sacred' than before. 'Everything feels aligned now. In Hollywood, the whole industry runs on external validation: will the network pick it up? Will audiences connect? Will it get renewed? Whether something was a hit or not was completely out of my hands,' she concluded. 'But in grief work, success looks like someone finally sleeping through the night after months of insomnia, or realizing their beloved's love didn't disappear with their transition. 'These aren't metrics anyone else can measure. They're soul-deep shifts that matter. The intimacy is profound. 'Most importantly, this work touches something universal and timeless. When someone learns to honor their grief for their beloved instead of hiding from it, they're not just surviving this loss, they're becoming more equipped for all the sorrow life will bring. Our culture is grief-illiterate. This helps change that, one person at a time.'

BREAKING NEWS Emmy SNUBS! Selena Gomez and her Oscar-winning costar both ignored as they lead list of shocking omissions

The nominations for the 2025 Emmy Awards were revealed Tuesday morning, but some of the glaring omissions stood out even more than the nominees. One of the most shocking omissions from the nominations was for Selena Gomez, who has a long history of snubs for her popular series Only Murders In The Building. While her Hulu show has been nominated in multiple years for Outstanding Comedy Series, it wasn't until last year that Selena finally earned an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series nomination. But the Emmys snatched away any hopes of her finally winning the award at the 2025 ceremony when she was left out of that category's nominees, who include Uzo Aduba (The Residence), Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary) Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) and Jean Smart (Hacks). This year, Only Murders In The Building secured a lead-actor nomination for Martin Short, but Steve Martin, the other key member of the lead trio, was also snubbed after receiving a nomination in 2024. Oscar winner Meryl Streep received plenty of buzz for joining the comedy series — in which a group of podcasting neighbors try to solve a series of murders that occur in their proximity — during its third season, but she also wasn't able to garner an Emmy nomination. Streep has been attracting buzz both on- and off-screen for the role, as she and Martin Short reportedly began dating after she joined the series in a supporting role. Their chemistry in front of the camera will likely be even more palpable in the upcoming fifth season, as their characters will now be married. Despite the individual acting Emmy snubs, Only Murders In The Building again scored an Outstanding Comedy Series nod.
