Dressed in a casual T-shirt, jacket and jeans, the actor can be seen smiling as he walks by fans who started screaming once they recognised him. Pedro, for his part, waves and blows flying kisses to fans as he walks in. The camera then pans to Keanu, who's busy giving an interview on stage, pausing it to check who everyone is screaming so loudly for. He also says something intelligible once he realises they were cheering for Pedro. A post shared by The Movie Podcast (@themoviepodcast) After the video gained traction on Instagram, one fan commented, 'He's so cute…like, just passing through.' Another called the way Pedro strolled past 'unreal'. 'Two of the best. Pedro and Keanu,' commented one fan, while another wrote, 'Now they need to work together on a film.' One comment pointed out how loudly the girls in the crowd were screaming, writing, 'Girls screaming,' with laughter emojis. Some left heart emojis under the post. One even dramatically commented, 'y'all can't see my face right now, but i assure you, it'll full of tears over this appearance.' Ballerina is a spin-off between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023). Ana plays the titular ballerina and trained assassin Eve Macarro, while Keanu reprises his role as John Wick. Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus also star in it. The film will be released in India on 13 June.

"Lilo & Stitch" First Reactions Praise Film as Disney's Best Live-Action Remake
Yara Sameh Disney's latest live-action remake, ' Lilo & Stitch ,' has been screened for select members of the press, and the first reactions to the film were overwhelmingly positive. Critic Wendy Lee Szany wrote on X, 'Lilo and Stitch is the best Disney live-action to date. Seeing Stitch in his live-action form on the big screen brings on a huge wave of nostalgia. Tons of laughter and heartwarming moments. The film hits similar beats to the original, as well added something new flavors.' Journalist Laura Sirikul wrote on X, 'Lilo and Stitch was heartwarming & really gave the official film more depth to Lilo & Nani. Maia Kealoha is a STAR! The Stitch was so well made. I never imagined in 23 years they'd be able to merge animation w/ live action this well. It was magical. Very sweet.' The original 'Lilo & Stitch' was released in 2002, making this the most recent animated movie that Disney has turned into live-action, and the first from the 2000s. Both movies follow a young, lonely Hawaiian girl named Lilo who finds an adorable, blue, and chaotic alien she names Stitch. With her big sister Nani, Lilo raises Stitch and teaches him the meaning of family, or 'ohana.' The cast includes Maia Kealoha as Lilo; Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani; Zach Galifianakis as Dr. Jumba Jookiba, Stitch's alien creator who comes looking for him; Billy Magnussen as Agent Pleakley; Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles; Hannah Waddingham as the Grand Councilwoman; and the original movie's co-director and co-writer Chris Sanders, returning as the voice of Stitch. Tia Carrere, who was the original voice of Nani, is also back playing a social worker this time around. The first 'Lilo & Stitch' was a box office success and grossed $273 million worldwide from an $80 million budget. It was nominated for best animated feature at the Academy Awards, but lost to 'Spirited Away.' It went on to spawn several sequels, TV shows and video games, thanks to Stitch's popularity with kids. Read some of the first reactions below: #LiloandStitch is a cute reimagining that mostly captures the original's spirit through a modern-day lens. Lilo and Nani's relationship feels even more heartfelt. It's still raw, real, and central to the story's emotional core. Of course Stitch brings hilarious chaos. — (@IamMichaelJLee) May 18, 2025 #LiloAndStitch is the BIGGEST SURPRISE of the year and easily the BEST Disney live action remake yet.

"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" Renewed for Season 2 and 3
Yara Sameh Disney has great faith in the latest Disney+ Marvel series, the animated outing "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" has been renewed for season 2 and season 3. Set to release on January 29, the show follows a parallel timeline where Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, is mentored by Norman Osborn, the alter-ego of his archenemy the Green Goblin, instead of Tony Stark like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cast members include Hudson Thames as the titular web-slinger, Colman Domingo as Osborn, Kari Wahlgren as Aunt May, and Hugh Dancy as Doctor Octopus. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio will reprise their roles from the 'Daredevil' Netflix series, and Paul F. Tompkins will take on the role of classic Marvel Comics villain The Wizard. The news was shared by Marvel's Television and Streaming head Brad Winderbaum in a recent The Movie Podcast just days before the debut of the series. Winderbaum connected virtually with the podcast and disclosed he was 'head over heels in love with these characters' from the animated series. He shared details regarding Season 2 of "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" and added, 'I've now read all the scripts for Season 2, we're halfway through the animatics. What Jeff (Jeff Trammell) is building brick by brick in this show starts to pay off.' The series, which was previously named "Spider-Man: Freshman Year", was renewed for Season 2 in 2022. He further discussed his connection with the characters of the show and asserted that it 'gets deeper and deeper in subsequent seasons.' Additionally, Winderbaum revealed the surprise news that "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is already greenlit to return for a third season. Winderbaum said, 'We're also greenlit for through Season 3, and in a couple weeks, I'm gonna hear his pitch for the third season of the show, and I'm like a fan, I can't wait.' Spider-Man has been a major earner for Marvel ever since Tom Holland took over the part in 2016 with the release of 'Captain America: Civil War.' Holland has played the web-slinging hero five times since. His latest film, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' released in 2021, went on to become the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time. Before Spider-Man joined the MCU, the franchise was first helmed by Sam Raimi for Sony Pictures. The pairing would produce three movies in 2002, 2004, and 2007 starring Toby Maguire. Sony would then reboot the series in 2012 with Andrew Garfield, and all three Spideys had a memorable reunion in 'No Way Home.' The team helming this new take on 'Spider-Man' includes Jeff Trammell as head writer and Mel Zwyer as supervising director. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt and Trammell serve as executive producers. "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" will hit Disney+ with its first two episodes on January 29.
