'Thunderbolts*' Wyatt Russell Has 'No Clue' What He's Doing in 'Avengers: Doomsday'
Considering the immense amount of star power expected to be featured in the 2026 film Avengers: Doomsday, it's no surprise that some big names are still awaiting word on where their characters fit. However, for Wyatt Russell, one of the stars of the popular recently released film Thunderbolts*, most wouldn't expect him to be among those still in the dark. While Marvel continues its focus on keeping virtually everything about their films quiet to avoid revealing spoilers, it sounds like Russell is still waiting to receive information on all those top-secret storylines. During an interview on Driven hosted by Andrew Freund, Russell admitted that he's entirely in the dark, hasn't read a script and has "no idea" what he's doing in Avengers: Doomsday. "I, honest to God, don't know what I'm doing. I have no clue, I have not read a script," Russell said. "I could die in the first five minutes, I don't know." Russell added that he's "beyond excited" and "honored" to be a part of that aspect of the MCU. Russell who stars in Thunderbolts* alongside Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Lewis Pullman, Olga Kurylenko and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, was a key part of the movie's immediate popularity. It currently boasts a critic score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% rating on the Popcornmeter out of more than 10,000 total reviews.

Dubai property prices to double in the next five years
Dubai property is always in demand… Dubai property prices could increase as far as double in the next five years, according to Abdullah Alajaji, CEO and founder of brokerage firm Driven | Forbes Global Properties who recently spoke to Gulf Business. This prediction comes from the recent growth in real estate prices across the emirate. Dubai's real estate market saw 217,000 investments valued at Dhs526bn in 2024, which was an increase of 38 per cent in number of transactions and and 27 per cent in terms of value, according to data from the government of Dubai. But Alajaji also said that there's still more room to grow as property prices in Dubai are still lower than counterparts such as New York and Singapore. He stated 'I would compare this time to pre-2008. Back then, every single area went up at the same level — you'd see 30 to 40 per cent increases in a single year, whether you were in JVC or Palm Jumeirah. But rental yields were much lower. Today, rents have gone up in tandem with prices, which suggests real demand.' This comes after Rizwan Sajan, founder of Danube Properties, predicted a 10–20 per cent correction in rents in 2025. We know that one thing is for sure, timing is key when it comes to Dubai property prices. > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Dubai property prices set to double in next 5 years, says Driven CEO
Dubai's real estate prices could double within the next five years, says Abdullah Alajaji, CEO and founder of brokerage firm Driven | Forbes Global Properties. The forecast comes amid the emirate's recent strong growth in real estate prices. Dubai's real estate market recorded 217,000 investments valued at Dhs526bn in 2024, reflecting growth rates of 38 per cent and 27 per cent in terms of number of transactions and value respectively, according to data from the government of Dubai. But Alajaji, who launched a new report benchmarking Dubai against the world's most established global cities earlier this week, said there's still more room to grow as property prices in Dubai are still lower than counterparts such as New York and Singapore. 'Our thesis here is, if we're still at one-fifth of the prices of global cities, and the cap rates are still more than double global cities, we do expect that… prices will go up,' Alajaji told Gulf Business . Cap rates, the rental return on a property relative to its total value, are central to Alajaji's argument. 'The cap rate is basically the yield that a property generates relative to its full value,' Alajaji explained. 'For example, if you're renting a property that nets you $50,000 a year and the value is $1m, it's a 5 per cent cap rate.' He added that unlike previous real estate cycles, current prices are supported by fundamentals. 'I would compare this time to pre-2008. Back then, every single area went up at the same level — you'd see 30 to 40 per cent increases in a single year, whether you were in JVC or Palm Jumeirah. But rental yields were much lower. Today, rents have gone up in tandem with prices, which suggests real demand.' Dubai's position as a Tier-1 city The Dubai on the Verge of Tier-1 City Recognition , introduces the company's Tier-1 City Index. It benchmarks Dubai against New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong across 28 indicators including infrastructure, quality of life, safety, economic depth and international appeal. Dubai ranked fifth out of seven global cities in the index, with standout scores in infrastructure (2nd), international appeal (3rd), safety and security (4th), and quality of life (4th). Alajaji also highlighted the strength of Dubai's transaction activity. 'The value of transactions in Dubai reached around $200bn last year — three times higher than London,' he said. 'That signals maturity. It shows there's real depth and liquidity.' The report found that 43 per cent of survey respondents believe Dubai's property prices are fairly valued, while 35 per cent saw them as somewhat overvalued. Just 11 per cent believed they are undervalued. As for market sentiment, Alajaji said: 'Overall, we see a stabilisation of the market. The way I would navigate it… is to look at areas that have limited supply of new land available for development.' He remains bullish on the city's long-term potential. 'We continue to invest in the growth of the city,' he said. 'We like it, we enjoy it, and we have fun doing it — so we'll continue doing so.'
