THUNDERBOLTS* Director Says the Bob/Yelena Ship Stuff Is Cute But Doesn't See Them Romantically — GeekTyrant
Since the release of Marvel's Thunderbolts* , some fans have been vocal in expressing their hope for a Bob/Yelena relationship. In the film, it was Yelena (Florence Pugh) who gave Bob (Lewis Pullman) a chance to share how he was feeling, free from judgement. Then she went after him in his darkest time to be a friend and help him to know he wasn't alone. The movie was about getting through the hard parts of life, and friendships that sustain us, but some viewers thought maybe there was a chance for Yelena and Bob to have more. The film's director, Jake Schreier, weighed in on the idea in a recent interview with Collider, where he said: "I have seen the Boblena stuff. I think it's really cute. I don't view it as a romantic relationship, personally. But I think we knew that Lewis and Florence having chemistry, regardless of whether that's romantic chemistry or not, that relationship is so central to the movie that it's not a bad thing to have some amount of that." He went on to say: "We were very clear there was never a discussion of, like, 'Is this romantic or not?' I don't think we wanted to cheapen that being there for each other in darker times and the way all of them connect to that idea. That wasn't what we were going for. 'You've got these great actors and so little narrative real estate to build this connection between them before they're kind of ripped apart, and then that connection is going to determine the end of the film. 'Getting their relationship right is so important… if we did get that right, people would enjoy watching them together. And the internet is the internet.' I got the friendship vibe from the film, and from the pairing. I look forward to seeing all the Thunderbolts back in Avengers: Doomsday , which is set to hit screens on December 18, 2026.

THUNDERBOLTS* VFX Video Reveals How The Films Visuals Came to Life — GeekTyrant
If you've been wondering how Marvel pulled off some of the visuals in Thunderbolts* , a new VFX breakdown from Framestore was released, and it's packed with fascinating details. From high-altitude battles to surreal moments inside The Void, this video shows just how much artistry went into the film's biggest scenes. One of the standout elements in Thunderbolts* was Bob, played by Lewis Pullman, who doubles as Sentry and his terrifying alter ego, The Void. Bringing that duality to life took a combination of practical effects and heavy CG work. The breakdown starts by zooming in on Valentina Allegra de Fontaine's secret vault, perched atop a mountain. This location is where our dysfunctional team first collides, only to discover Valentina has set them up to kill each other. The entire mountain-top structure and the army of guards outside was fully digital. The reel also showcases Ghost's signature phasing ability in action, like when she slides through the back of a jeep. Then we see Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova being launched through a wall inside The Void, landing on a table thanks to old-school wire work. The set's practical curtains, are swapped out for CG elements that add a supernatural touch, creating the effect of the room itself attacking her. Then, at the vault, we see Bob ascend high into the sky after taking fire from guards, his rise and dizzying fall back to Earth happen in a fully CG environment. Later, the sequence jumps to a sprawling lab, which was partially practical but digitally expanded and ultimately annihilated during Bob's brutal clash with The Void. Early concept shots reveal how the lab grew in scale and then crumbled in spectacular fashion. Yelena, meanwhile, dodges collapsing debris in a mix of wire-assisted stunts and CG enhancements. This behind-the-scenes look reinforces just how much invisible work goes into making an MCU film of this scale. Thunderbolts* doesn't just rely on CGI spectacle, it blends practical stunts, intricate digital artistry, and meticulous planning to create something that feels chaotic yet grounded.

Nepo baby set to star alongside iconic actor dad in Rick Moranis' comeback Spaceballs 2
The nepo baby son of a Hollywood icon is set to star alongside his dad in Rick Moranis' comeback film, Spaceballs 2. Lewis Pullman - the 32-year-old lookalike son of Independence Day actor Bill Pullman, 71, is said to be in talks to join the cast of the upcoming sequel, per THR. Acclaimed star Bill played a Han Solo-esque character called Lone Starr in Spaceballs back in 1987. Alongside Bill, Mel Brooks will reprise his role as Yogurt while Moranis will once again portray Darth Vader character Dark Helmet. Spaceballs was a parody of the original three Star Wars films and Brooks,98, will be 100 years old when his reprisal of his Yoda-like character Yogurt hits the big screen in 2027. MGM Amazon Studio is producing the film from a script by Josh Gad, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez, under the directorial vision of Josh Greenbaum. Keke Palmer is also in the sequel and the original director Mel will also reprise his role of President Skroob. The original 1987 film lampooned the sci-fi genre as it poked fun at the Star Wars franchise, primarily, in addition to other classic films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet Of The Apes, and Star Trek. It was centered around the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) and President Skroob (Brooks) as they attempt to steal the atmosphere of peaceful planet Druidia. However, they are challenged by protagonist and hero Lone Starr (Pullman) and his sidekick Barf (the late John Candy), and the Druish princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). Lewis can be seen next in Thunderbolts alongside Florence Pugh and Wyatt Russell. Recently, Lewis has been seen hanging out with fellow nepo baby Kaia Gerber, 23. News broke of Kaia and Lewis' relationship in January, and they have apparently grown close enough that his parents went to see her in a play last month. However when he attended the premiere of his new Marvel movie Thunderbolts* this week, Lewis sidestepped queries about his showbiz romance. When he was asked if he brought a date to the event, he replied: 'No, I don't have a date tonight. My family's my date,' to Entertainment Tonight. His interviewer persisted with another question about 'a certain brunette we would've liked to see you bring along as a date,' and Lewis demurred again. With a slightly abashed smile, he said: 'Well, listen, we're all just lucky to be here on the carpet, hanging, looking forward to the Thunderbolts*.' In January, it emerged Kaia was dating Lewis - after news had broken that her relationship with Elvis actor Austin Butler was over after three years. It was then reported that Kaia had in fact been dating Lewis since December 2024 but initially concealed the romance from the public. 'Kaia and Lewis have actually been together for a while now. They started dating in early December,' an insider alleged. 'They kept it under wraps until the news of her and Austin's split came out. Kaia and Austin have been broken up since October.' 'They run in the same circle and have similar friend groups, and that's how they were introduced,' the source added to Us Weekly. Before her relationship with Austin, 33, Kaia carried on a year-long romance with Euphoria heartthrob Jacob Elordi and then spent three months with Pete Davidson. Meanwhile Lewis previously dated Rainey Qualley, the sister of Margaret Qualley and daughter of Andie MacDowell, from 2020 to 2023. Last month, Lewis' parents were glimpsed arriving at the Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles to see Kaia in the play Evanston Salt Costs Climbing by Will Arbery. She received critical acclaim for her performance from such high-profile outlets as Broadway World and the Los Angeles Times.
