Flashback Friday: When Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot lost Miss Universe 2004 competition to Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress Tanushree Dutta
While Tanushree Dutta made it to the top 10, Gal Gadot failed to make it into the list read more Gal Gadot, who became a global phenomenon for her portrayal of Wonder Woman, unconventionally crossed paths with Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress Tanushree Dutta. In 2004, during the Miss Universe competition, which took place in Ecuador, both actresses were participants in the elite contest. While Tanushree made it to the top 10, Gal failed to make it into the list. However, it was Australia's Jennifer Hawkins, who was crowned Miss Universe that year while United States' Shandi Finnessey & Puerto Rico's Alba Reyes were 2nd & 3rd Runner-up respectively. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While Gal Gadot turned out to be one of the biggest actresses of Hollywood, Tanushree Dutta, who became the pioneer of the MeToo movement in Bollywood, has shared a video on her Instagram account and spoken about how she's being harassed inside her own house. The actress recently broke down while narrating her ordeal and captioned the post- 'I'm sick and tired of this harassment!! It's been going on since 2018 #metoo Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya Please someone help me! Do something before it's too late.' Nana Patekar stood accused of sexually harassing Tanushree Dutta on the sets of Horn 'OK' Pleassss, a 2008 movie. Dutta had filed a police complaint against Patekar and her lawyer told the media that once a FIR was registered, two more women who had allegedly been harassed by the accused, would come forward. Dutta was the actress who began the Metoo movement in the industry in 2018 and many more traumatic stories came forward. In an interview with The LallanTop, when the 'Welcome' star denied the allegations, Dutta took to Instagram to write a long note on how Patekar was a 'pathological' liar. The actress wrote- 'How big a liar Nana Patekar is the whole world knows now after the Varanasi boy slapping incident. Nana first tried to made it look like to slap the kid was part of shoot & then he got severe public backlash for trying to cover up his abuse. Then he suddenly took a u turn & apologised half heartedly. " STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

After James Gunn said the movie was a "priority", the DCU's Wonder Woman reboot hires Supergirl screenwriter to pen the script
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The DCU's Wonder Woman reboot has found its screenwriter: Ana Nogueira, who also wrote the upcoming Supergirl movie for DC Studios (via Deadline). This update comes hot on the heels of DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn saying that he's "always had Wonder Woman as a priority" News first broke of the DCU's new take on Diana Prince last month, but this is the first concrete detail we've had since then (no director or actors are attached to the project just yet). Gal Gadot played Wonder Woman in the DCEU, originating the role in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before taking center stage in 2017's Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins. A sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, followed in 2020, and a third movie was announced in 2021 with Gadot set to return. However, in 2022, after Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, the threequel was cancelled. As for Supergirl, Nogueira's first DCU project, the upcoming movie stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Superman's party girl cousin, who ends up on a "murderous quest for revenge" during her travels across the galaxy (with Krypto in tow, of course). Based on the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic by Tom King, the movie is directed by I, Tonya and Cruella helmer Craig Gillespie and will also star Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley, as well as featuring Jason Momoa as Lobo. Nogueira, whose Supergirl screenplay is her debut feature film script, is reportedly also working on a live-action Teen Titans movie for the DCU. Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026 as part of the DCU Chapter One. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other upcoming DC movies and shows on the way. Solve the daily Crossword

The White Lotus star Lisa has posted a mysterious DC tease, and now fans are convinced she's got a role in the DCU as Catwoman or Batgirl
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The White Lotus star Lisa has shared a mysterious Instagram post that seems to be referencing something DC-related, and fans are going wild with speculation. Lisa, who is one-fourth of the girl group Blackpink, is currently on tour – and, after donning some particularly superhero-esque outfits for her solo set, seemingly compared herself to Wonder Woman and Catwoman in her post, which is captioned "Keep scrolling" with an eyes emoji. Check it out below. Now, that seems innocent enough, except the official DC account commented: "We're scrolling," complete with an eyes emoji, a black heart, a bat, and a star. That's not the only account that has interacted with the post, either, with a HBO Max account and DC's official Asia account also commenting. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean Lisa is joining the DCU. Her music video for her single "FUTW" contained a Batman reference, since a version of ACE Chemicals appears, so it's possible she's simply a fan (and she's performing this song on tour, too, so the references make sense). But, people are running with the theories anyway. One person has pointed out that Lisa has shared pictures featuring a cat phone case, potentially linking her to Catwoman. "Lisa pulling up in a car that looks straight outta Batman's garage then hits us with a 'keep scrolling' and suddenly we've got Wonder Woman, Catwoman fan edit, AND that phone case?????????" says another fan. "And then she ended with this," points out someone else, with a video clip of Lisa wearing a Labubu-inspired cape, with trousers that appear to feature a woman with cat ears and a ball of yarn. People are also speculating that Lisa could be teasing another DC character, though: Batgirl. "Batgirl? Omg what is ittt!!!" asks another person. "LISA CASSANDRA CAIN INCOMING" says someone else – Cassandra Cain was also Batgirl in DC Comics. "Welcome back Batgirl," says another person. "OMGG THE BAT EMOJI??? SOMETHING BIG IS DEFINITELY COMING LISA AS BATWOMAN??" wonders someone else (Batgirl and Batwoman are two separate heroes in the DC universe). While there are DCU Batman and Wonder Woman projects in the works, no casting has been announced for either, and all we know about Batman is that it will feature Damian Wayne's Robin. The Wonder Woman movie just secured a writer, but James Gunn told us recently that there are no new updates to share on the Batman project, which is titled The Brave and the Bold. Most likely, then, Lisa is just sharing the love for an iconic franchise. Maybe she'll be channelling another DC hero at the next tour stop? The DCU's latest project, Superman, is in theaters now.

Sacha Baron Cohen fans work out 'real reason' behind ripped body transformation
Actor Sacha Baron Cohen flaunted his incredible body transformation in new photos, and fans of the Borat star have 'worked out the real reason' why he decided to get ripped Sacha Baron Cohen fans have been left stunned after the actor flaunted his incredible body transformation in new photos. The 53-year-old Borat star, from London, took to his Instagram page this week to share photos of his ripped new physique as he posed for the latest issue of Men's Fitness magazine. Sacha, who finalised his divorce from wife Isla Fisher last month, was seen without his shirt in many of the snaps as he flaunted his rippling muscles and worked out in a gym. Captioning the post, the magazine wrote: "Men's Fitness talks exclusively to king of comedy Sacha Baron Cohen about getting in shape for his new role as Mephisto in Marvel 's Ironheart, how fitness is in his blood and just why he can still rock a mankini." However, despite the fact Sacha got in shape for his new Marvel role, many fans speculated it may also be his 'revenge body'. This is the term coined when someone goes through a body transformation after a break-up. One fan wrote on the post: "Single mode activated," while another simply stated: "Revenge body." A third quipped: "Isla be like, where was this dude during our marriage?" While a fourth chimed in: "Divorce is the best type of protein." Many others said he looked "incredible" while others littered the post with quotes from Borat, such as "very nice". Even Sacha's celebrity pals got in on the commenting action as US comedian and actress Chelsea Handler joked: "Is this AI?" Meanwhile Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot simply left a flame emoji. During his chat with Men's Fitness, the actor said he had just three weeks to get into superhero shape, and made sure he put in the 'hard work' to portray Mephisto, a devil-like figure who makes Faustian bargains. He said he turned to Matthew McConaughey to get the phone number of celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti, who is well-known for transforming physiques on impossible deadlines. Because of the short time frame, Sacha had to be 'consistent' by doing '100 push ups a day'. He also did short workouts and followed a diet high in fibre and protein as well as low in sugar. He told the publication he did "25-minute workouts that were sustainable", adding: "Even while filming, the workouts happened. In the past, I would've thought you needed hour-long sessions". The actor admitted at the start of his workout regimen he 'had the core strength of an arthritic jellyfish.' But he said the short, intense sessions have left him feeling in the 'best shape of his life'. He says it's something others can emulate, tailoring their workouts to their own body goals and time limitations.
