Fact Check: No, Jeremy Renner Didn’t Break His Arms Filming ‘The Avengers’
2 hours ago
This is not the kind of malicious media conspiracy that Donald Trump likes to talk about, but it is, in a sense, fake news: Contrary to Friday’s media reports, Jeremy Renner did not break both arms while shooting a stunt in the upcoming superhero movie “Avengers: Infinity War.” Yes, Renner did appear at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on Friday with both of his arms in splints, and at a press conference he explained that he fractured his right elbow and left wrist performing a stunt on his latest film shoot.

‘Spider-Man’ Producer Amy Pascal on Exit From Top Sony Job: ‘I Never Wanted to Let It Go’
2 hours ago
Amy Pascal, a producer on this weekend’s box-office smash “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” opened up to the New York Times about enduring the turbulent end to her Sony tenure. Pascal told the publication in an interview published Saturday that she is now “at peace” with her new path. The former studio exec famously stepped down as Sony’s co-chairman in 2015 after suffering the embarrassment of the studio’s email hacking in late 2014. “It has been a challenge to be patient and allow myself to learn, especially at this ripe age,” said Pascal, who now produces film for Sony with her company Pascal Pictures. »

4 hours ago
Tom Hardy, star of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and Logan Marshall-Green actor “Spider-Man: Homecoming” can be really, really hard to tell apart. They were both born in the mid-’70s — Tom Hardy in London and Logan Marshall-Green in South Carolina (with a twin brother!). But they often seem interchangeable in the roles they’ve played on both big screen and small. Can you tell them apart? Round 1: Scraggly bearded villain Logan Marshall-Green in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017) / Tom Hardy in “The Revenant (2015) Round 2: Blockbuster sci-fi hero Tom Hardy in “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015) / Logan Marshall-Green in “Prometheus” (2012) Round 3: Slightly. »

Saturday became “sit in for Daddy at work” day when Ivanka Trump temporarily stepped in for President Trump at the G20 Summit while he attended a meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo. Although UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s aide briefly took her place while she stepped out, it was Trump’s action that fired up critics, sparking accusations of nepotism when the president’s daughter took a seat between May and Chinese President Xi Jinping during a session titled “Partnership with Africa, Migration and Health.” According to the Agence France-Presse, a White House official emphasized that “when other leaders stepped out, »

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Flies to $120 Million Opening
12 hours ago
The deal with Disney to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to pay off big for Sony, as Columbia Pictures’ “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is on pace to earn a $120 million opening from 4,348 screens after bringing in a Friday total of $50.5 million, making it the seventh McU film to earn a $100 million-plus opening.

It would also be the second-highest opening weekend in studio history for Sony, behind »

Nancy Sinatra’s boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they did on Friday — all over a Twitter troll who claimed her father, Frank Sinatra, would have voted for Donald Trump. “@NancySinatra you do know your father would have supported Trump don’t you?

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist who was the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner when she received the honor in 2014, joined Twitter Friday to celebrate graduating high school. By day’s end, she was pushing 400,000 followers.

Ringo Starr’s Birthday Celebration: Peace, Love and Unbearable Heat
7 July 2017 7:47 PM, PDT
July 7 is an important day, but not just because it’s my birthday. July 7 is also Ringo Starr’s birthday. He turned 77, and I turned 25. Every year for his birthday, Ringo organizes a “peace and love celebration.” The point of it is exactly what its name suggests: to promote peace, love and overall good vibrations. (Oops, I accidentally made a Beach Boys reference when we’re talking about one of the Beatles.) It’s both a live and a virtual event. Ringo makes a personal appearance in one city (usually Los Angeles) while simultaneously extending an invitation to the rest of. »

Jacob Batalon Ready for Big Time With ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Debut
7 July 2017 7:09 PM, PDT
For the past nine years, Oscar winners and nominees like Benedict Cumberbatch, Bradley Cooper and, in 2019, Brie Larson have poured into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is an odd duck in the McU canon, and not just because it’s coming from Columbia Pictures rather than Disney. While Michael Keaton brings his chops to the film as a blue-collar villain with a “Birdman”-esque suit, it is a stable of rising young actors, led by 21-year-old Tom Holland as Spidey himself, that will be in the long haul for the sequels to come rather than the A-listers that have held. »

Ahead of CNN’s “The Nineties,” TheWrap staff counts down the 90 Best Movies of the ’90s. 90. “There’s Something About Mary” The Farrelly Brothers’ “There’s Something About Mary” is smutty, stupid and silly in the best way possible.
