Ryan Reynolds Shoots Scene as Deadpool for ‘Logan’ (Exclusive)
11 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Ryan Reynolds recently shot a scene as Deadpool for 2017’s Logan, TheWrap has exclusively learned. An individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap the Deadpool scene in Logan will most likely become a post-credit scene. Fox declined to comment. This will actually be Reynolds’ second time playing Deadpool in a Wolverine film. In 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he played a very different version of the antihero. In that film, the Merc With a Mouth ends up having no mouth at all — but far more powers than he displayed in this year’s standalone Deadpool movie, which reimagined Deadpool as much wittier. »

‘Vikings’: Ep Michael Hirst on Ragnar’s Fate (Spoilers)
2 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Spoilers abound for those who haven’t seen the Dec. 28 episode of “Vikings.”
“Vikings” began with Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), but it was never just his story. There was shieldmaiden Lagertha, and Ragnar’s brother Rollo, and, later, his sons. Yet Ragnar bound all threads together. And now, as history — or, at least, his story — told us would happen, Ragnar is dead, cast into a snake pit by the vengeance-seeking King Aelle of Northumbria (Ivan Kaye) after being handed over by his friend (and enemy) King Ecbert of Wessex (Linus Roache). “Vikings” showrunner Michael Hirst talked to Variety about putting Ragnar and Fimmel through hell, and what comes next.
When did you tell Travis Fimmel this was coming? Presumably he knew just from the historical nature of the series.
Travis came to the show late because I was very unhappy about the people they were trying to cast. I didn’t want a loud Viking, I »

During the course of her career, Debbie Reynolds never won an Oscar. In fact, she was nominated just once — as best actress for the 1964 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences board of governors decided to remedy that in 2015 when it voted to award her its Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, presented at the 74th Governors Awards. The Hersholt is awarded to an individual “whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry,” and the Academy cited Reynolds' role as a founding member of The Thalians, the charitable organization founded by entertainers »
