Pedro Pascal sparks fan frenzy after dumping mystery liquid from cup in public
Pedro Pascal sent fans into a frenzy after he was seen dumping out a mystery liquid following a gym session in L.A. on Friday. The Last Of Us star, 50 - who has been busy promoting his upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps - poured out what was left inside a paper cup next to nearby plants. While it appeared to be black coffee, some social media users debated the topic over on X underneath photos of the moment. One penned, 'It looks like a black coffee, I don't blame him for tossing it onto the plants. Black coffee has a rather bitter taste if it's not made from high quality coffee beans. I drink A LOT of coffee'. Another typed, 'Also yes idk if it's coffee or a protein shake cause I haven't ever had either so forgive me if I'm wrong. Either way it's funny'. 'Maybe he's pouring the grounds into the planter to compost,' a fan suggested, while one replied with, 'It's a lot of liquid he pours out'. An X user shared, 'Pedro P: Life is too short to drink bad coffee,' and another added, 'Is it a mocha or a shake? I don't trust either.' 'How do you know it's not a cup of gravy?' one humorously questioned, while a fan also wrote, 'My only question to that barista. Baby what did he order cause the coffee look wrong.' Another said, 'Maybe a bug fell into it,' while others imagined how they would feel if they had been the barista that made a drink Pascal dumped out. 'I'd hang up my apron for good,' one commented, and another replied with, 'I'd give up on making or drinking it.' A social media user wrote, 'I'd have ptsd everytime I'd see a coffee again,' and the individual who posted the snaps added, 'Imagine being the person who made the Pedro Pascal's coffee at work today to come online after your shift to see this.' In the photos, the actor could be seen keeping it casual wearing a short-sleeved white shirt as well as a pair of black trousers. He completed the ensemble by sporting a pair of glasses and was listening to tunes with earbuds. Pascal is preparing for the release of his upcoming superhero movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps - which hits theaters later this month on July 25. One penned, 'It looks like a black coffee, I don't blame him for tossing it onto the plants. Black coffee has a rather bitter taste if it's not made from high quality coffee beans. I drink A LOT of coffee' Another typed, 'Also yes idk if it's coffee or a protein shake cause I haven't ever had either so forgive me if I'm wrong. Either way it's funny' Along with Pedro, the cast also includes Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Julia Garner. The premise of the Marvel movie is: 'Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer,' per IMDB. The Materialists actor has been keeping busy while promoting the film - and recently attended the premiere in Sydney earlier this week on Tuesday. Pascal took on the role of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in the project that was directed by Matt Shakman. During a recent interview with Empire, the star admitted that he initially wasn't sure if he would be able to properly portray the character. 'I wasn't skeptical at all of this as a piece… But I was skeptical over [Shakman's] choice to cast me,' he revealed to the outlet. 'I was questioning if I would serve it as best as it was meant to be served - to convincing as an astrophysicist, as a father, a husband.' However, while deciding on the part, Pedro recalled crossing paths with the director in NYC and stated, 'I definitely think it was destiny.' He further reflected on stepping into the MCU and dealing with the pressure to play Mister Fantastic in the superhero movie, per Collider. 'Each time you step into one, and you feel like this can't be scarier, you find out, oh this is scarier.' Pedro added, 'Going into Games Of Thrones, going into DC, going into Star Wars, and then the entire gaming world that introduced itself like an atom bomb to me. 'And in the best way, because I learned very, very quickly the incredible medium of storytelling that's happening within gaming.' Pascal and co-star Vanessa Kirby also gave a little insight into what filming the movie had been like, with the actress sharing that she had scolded Pedro over his 'snappy' behavior. During a joint appearance on The Spill podcast, the pair were asked what they learned about each other during the production. Kirby laughed which prompted the interviewer expressing, 'Oh, I feel like you need to say something.' Pedro then jumped in to admit, 'Look, I'm a grump. I'm a grump. It doesn't make me a bad person.' The Crown actress agreed that the actor was not a bad person but explained if filming went into overtime, Pascal would get 'a little bit snappy and a bit cranky.' He explained that it was due to him going into protective mode when his co-stars would be honest about their exhaustion on set. However, when he wanted to quickly get scenes done, his castmates would suggest changes to scenes. 'And then the two of them are like "Well why don't we try it like this?", "Oh why don't we try it like that?", "Can we have another go?", "Let's talk about this a little bit longer,"' he jokingly teased. Vanessa playfully added that the actor would become 'a snappy turtle' and that she would end up giving him a little scolding. However, the pair appeared to have put those tense moments behind them by sharing a friendly embrace during the interview.

The TV talent school that took Bella Ramsey from Nottingham to Hollywood
I visited Nottingham almost ten years ago to make a programme for BBC Radio 4 about a drama group for local kids and sat in on one of their improvisation classes. As I observed from the sidelines, one of the teachers whispered in my ear: 'That's one to watch over there.' He pointed to a small child with a pale serious face, framed by long dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, who was 'about to appear in Game of Thrones'. It was Bella Ramsey, now aged 21, who this week was nominated for a second Emmy. The star of the global sci-fi hit The Last of Us, Ramsey is up for best actress alongside such names as Kathy Bates, Sharon Horgan and Keri Russell.

Forget 'The Last Of Us' — Netflix just announced a 'high-octane thriller' based on the Assassin's Creed franchise
Remember when Netflix and Ubisoft revealed they were partnering to "develop content" based on the "Assassin's Creed" franchise... almost five years ago? Well, yesterday (July 17), both parties confirmed that the first project from this partnership had finally been given the green light. Netflix's first "Assassin's Creed" show will also be a live-action video game adaptation, similar to HBO Max's "The Last Of Us," or Prime Video's hit "Fallout" adaptation. While it's still early days, we do have a few key details about the show to date, courtesy of announcements shared by Netflix (via Tudum)and Ubisoft. Here's everything we know about Netflix's "Assassin's Creed" series so far. The big thing to know (besides the fact that anything is happening at all, at least) is that Emmy nominees Roberto Patino ("Westworld," "Sons of Anarchy") and David Wiener ("Halo," "Homecoming") are on hand as series creators, showrunners, and executive producers. Patino and Wiener have issued a joint statement on the project, which leans on the scope and hints at the thrills we can expect. It reads: "We've been fans of Assassin's Creed since its release in 2007. Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin's Creed opens to us. "Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story — about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance. "But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time, and it's about what we stand to lose as a species when those connections break. We've got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we're committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Other than that, we've got a series logline from Netflix. Unfortunately, it doesn't give us any hints at when in the franchise's timeline the show will be set, or which characters may crop up — but it does make the show sound exciting all the same. "Assassin's Creed is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind's future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity's destiny." No casting info has been revealed as yet, nor do we have a release date, but seeing as the show's just been greenlit (and it sounds like it'll be a major production), I doubt we'll be seeing anything from Netflix's Assassin's Creed adaptation anytime soon. Netflix's track record with video game properties has mostly been pretty solid, with the caveat that the big hits are all animated shows like "Arcane," "Castlevania," or "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners." (I'm not really counting "The Witcher" here, as it draws from Andrzej Sapkowski's books, rather than CD Projekt's RPGs). The streamer's live-action "Resident Evil" series was a swing and a miss for me, but I'm open to the possibility that "Assassin's Creed" could be a success. Netflix's VP of Scripted Series, Peter Friedlander, sure has talked the forthcoming series up, too. In the announcement, Friedlander said Netflix and Ubisoft set out with "an ambitious goal to bring the rich, expansive world of Assassin's Creed to life in bold new ways," and goes on to bill the forthcoming show as "an epic adventure that both honors the legacy of the Assassin's Creed franchise and invites longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the thrill of the Brotherhood as never before." It's a statement designed to generate hype, but given we've seen so many games make the hop to our screens successfully in recent years, and the fact that the show's been in development for some time already, I'm optimistic that everyone involved has cooked something up that's going to be worth watching. The way I see it, the "Assassin's Creed" series team certainly has plenty of material at their fingertips. There's loads of lore to be dealt with, and there's still loads of human history yet to get the Assassin's Creed treatment. Whether or not the series can be a hit like "Fallout" or "The Last Of Us" remains to be seen, but I can't help but see Ubisoft's history-hopping franchise as a potential springboard for success. Yes, even after the Assassin's Creed movie. Need something to watch while you wait for the live-action "Assassin's Creed" series to arrive?

Last of Us star's 'exquisite' period film everyone is watching
Lena Dunham's period film Catherine Called Birdy is taking the world by storm, with viewers flocking to watch the comedy as the budding actor takes centre stage The historical film is brimming with recognisable faces, but at the centre of it all is emerging British actor Bella Ramsey before they became a household name in the hit series The Last Of Us. Catherine Called Birdy is a 2022 comedy flick, inspired by a 1994 novel and directed by Lena Dunham. After creating the renowned HBO show Girls and featuring in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the filmmaker returned to the director's chair to craft this amusing coming-of-age story that viewers can't seem to get enough of. Birdy, as Catherine is affectionately known, is a young girl of 14, living in the English countryside during the 13th century with her father, Lord Rollo, and their family. When the family coffers take a hit, Rollo decides the best solution is to arrange a marriage for his daughter Birdy. In her characteristic mischievous style, Birdy does everything in her power to fend off potential suitors in an attempt to resist growing up and maintain her independence. Through a series of bizarre antics, she continues to ward off suitors, and through her diary entries, she documents the lessons learned along the way. A review on Rotten Tomatoes reads: "Bella Ramsey delivers a standout performance in Catherine Called Birdy, effortlessly bringing to life the rebellious, witty, and fiercely independent Birdy. With a magnetic screen presence, Ramsey captures the spirit of a young girl pushing back against medieval societal norms with sharp humour and modern sensibility, all while staying grounded in the emotional weight of her circumstances. Another captivated viewer shared: "Brilliant. Excellent dialogue. Engaging. Performances were top-notch", reports the Express. Meanwhile, another described the film as both "exquisite" and "flawless". Taking on the role of Birdy's father is none other than Andrew Scott, renowned for his role in BBC's Fleabag, whilst her mother is portrayed by British TV icon Billie Piper. Adding to the star-studded cast are Joe Alwyn and Paul Kaye, alongside Harry Potter's David Bradley. The film introduced many fans to Bella Ramsey for the first time, following their appearance in Netflix's Hilda, but before their rise to stardom in The Last of Us alongside Hollywood heartthrob Pedro Pascal. However, the filming in Shropshire back in 2021 was a world away from the red carpets they would soon be gracing. Viewers have been quick to laud the performance of the rising star, writing: "Consistently funny and with great performances throughout. The dialogue and pacing are great - not a dull moment!" Lena Dunham, known for her sharp wit, has channelled her comedic prowess into another venture, a Netflix project titled Too Much. This series, while retaining the humour of Catherine Called Birdy and featuring a female lead, delves into the experiences of an American navigating life in London. For those craving Dunham's endearing character development and Ramsey's powerful performance, Catherine Called Birdy is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
