Chris Evans is 'sad' not be back for Avengers: Doomsday
Chris Evans is disappointed not to be "invited to the party" for Avengers: Doomsday.
The 43-year-old actor - who played Captain America across eight films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) - has admitted while he's still in touch with his former castmates, there's a different feeling after leaving the franchise in Avengers: Endgame.
He told ScreenRant: "Yeah, I talk to them all the time. It's where Pedro [Pascal] is right now. I mean, it's sad to be away.
"It's sad to not be back with the band, but I'm sure they're doing something incredible, and I'm sure it's going to be that much harder when it comes out, and you feel like you weren't invited to the party.'
Evans made his final appearance in the MCU when his Captain America travels back in time to return the Infinity Stones.
He decides to stay in the past with Peggy Carter, while in the present day, the moniker and shield are passed onto Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie).
Mackie, 46, will be in the upcoming blockbuster, and he has teased the film will give audiences "that old Marvel feeling".
He told IGN: "We're kicking on down the road, so everybody's getting excited and we're getting the band back together.
'We're supposed to go out this week, and we'll be out there doing it. Everybody's excited. I feel with the script and having the Russo brothers back, it's going to be great.
"I'm really excited for what this project is going to be. It's going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.'
Meanwhile, Alan Cumming recently admitted he was "amazed and excited" to be returning as Nightcrawler for Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently filming in London.
Speaking with fellow X-Men star Olivia Munn for Collider, he said: 'Isn't it nuts? I'm excited and amazed. It's been 23 years since I was a superhero.'
And Cumming has appeared to reveal he will be fighting Pascal in Avengers: Doomsday.
The 60-year-old actor is set to reprise his X2: X-Men United mutant Nightcrawler in the upcoming MCU blockbuster, and the star hinted he may be coming to blows with Pascal's Mr. Fantastic.
During a video interview with Buzzfeed UK, Cumming said: 'I was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I just think, I'm 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero.
'I was kind of old for a superhero even then. And now I'm back doing it. And that, to me, is hilarious.
'I'm sort of learning these fights and I'm like, 'What? Who am I fighting with?' And they said, 'You're hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,' or something.'

Matthew Lillard insists that he wants to be known as more than Shaggy from Scooby Doo
Matthew Lillard wants to be known as more than Shaggy from Scooby Doo. The 55-year-old actor - who has been married to Heather Helm since 2000 and has Addison, 22, Macey, 20, as well as 17-year-old Liam with her - starred as a member of the famed mystery-solving gang when the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon was made into a live-action blockbuster in 2002, but insisted that despite everything else he has done, that is the only thing his fans want to talk about. He told ScreenRant: "I'm an entrepreneur, I've got two businesses I've started, I've started a 501(c)(3), I'm the father of a queer kid, I have two other kids, one just graduated college and was awarded this award for being the graduate of note in her art department. "I am an eternal soccer father. I feel like there is no way to know somebody by what you see, and the reality is that I am everything else other. It's amazing, but people will come up and be like, 'Oh my God, Shaggy!' I'm like, 'No. Played Shaggy 23 years ago, 25 years ago." Matthew is now starring as Gus Wilfong in the new sci-fi drama that tells the story of Charles Krantz's (Tom Hiddleston) life in reverse and recalled his emotional response when he saw the final cut for the first time. He said: "For me, I cried the first time I saw it, and I was like, 'What made me cry?' "It's not tears of endearment. Somebody's dying, or you've got this moment in The Champ, where this boy is hugging his father as he dies. You're moved to tears, and I'm not really sure why it's so emotional, but it's a movie that washes over you instead of manipulating you." The Hollywood star added that he and his wife ended up having a lengthy conversation about what they had seen in the film. He said: "I will tell you, the next day, my wife and I were still talking about what things meant. It's one of the things that you're sort of being enveloped by a film instead of it laying and placating you, it makes you think, it makes you engage."

Scarlett Johansson felt 'a little cagey' working on Marvel films
Scarlett Johansson felt "a little cagey" while working on Marvel blockbusters with large star-studded casts. The Hollywood actress played Black Widow Natasha Romanoff in films including The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers: Infinity War and her own solo spin-off Black Widow - and she's now admitted she often felt like she wasn't doing "engaging work" when she was part of an ensemble cast plus she couldn't get a hair cut or have her nails done during the filming period. She told Interview magazine: "Some of the films that I did for Marvel engaged my character more than others. "Like in Captain America: The Winter Soldier with Chris [Evans], we were really dynamic. In some of the other films, the cast was so enormous and there was so much plot to serve that you start to feel like you're a device to move it along. "And if you're committed to five and a half months of that, it's like: 'Okay. I can't paint my nails, I can't get a haircut.' "These sound like silly problems, but your identity is wrapped up in this job for a long time, and if you're not doing engaging work as an actor, you feel a little cagey sometimes." Scarlett was interviewing fellow actor David Harbour for the publication and he admitted he understood how she felt after spending almost a decade working on Netflix series 'Stranger Things'. He explained: "It's the same thing with this show. There'd be certain seasons where you feel like: 'I'm going to go in this different direction'. "But as you say, a piece of your psyche is occupied with this group of people and this storyline. I don't paint my nails, but I get that idea of: 'I can't get a hair cut' or 'I can't shave this freaking mustache'." He added of bringing the show to a close: after five seasons: 'When I started, I loved it so much. "Buddies of mine who'd done TV shows for many years said: 'By season three or four you'll be running.' "And I was like: 'Never! I love all these guys so much.' And then you get to a certain point where you're like: 'How much more story is there?' "You're having to play a lot of the same beat, and there's a feeling where you're like: 'I want to take a risk. I want to do something that people haven't seen me do before.' So yeah, after 10 years, it's like, 'Okay'."

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness list $60 million New York penthouse
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have listed their lavish Manhattan penthouse as the former high-profile couple navigate their divorce. The X-Men star and Shame actress want $US38.9 million ($59.6 million) for the apartment at 176 Perry Street, reported. The listing is their second New York real estate move since Furness filed for divorce from Jackman last month. Property records show that a company associated with Furness paid $US11.7 million ($17.8 million) – half the property's value – to a company associated with Jackman for a second Manhattan penthouse at 100 Eleventh Avenue. The deal was finalised on May 21, two days before Furness filed for divorce, according to The Real Deal, which broke the news. Now, just two weeks later, the penthouse at 176 Perry Street is on the market. Jackson and Furness bought the property in 2008 for $US21 million.
