    BREAKING: Chadwick Boseman, Star of ‘Black Panther,’ Dies at 43

    Chadwick Boseman, known for his role as Marvel’s noble Black Panther, died at his Los Angeles home Friday at age 43.

    The actor has been battling colon cancer since 2016, and died at home with his family and wife by his side, according to a statement posted on his Twitter account.

    “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you so many of the films you have come to love so much,” his publicist, Nicki Fioravante, said in a statement.

    “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” the statement said. “From ‘Marshall’ to ‘Da 5 Bloods,’ August Wilson’s ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.”

    Boseman was best known for his role as T’Challa, or the Black Panther, king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda in the 2018 Marvel superhero movie “Black Panther.”

    The film was a cultural touchstone — the first major superhero movie with an African protagonist; the first to star a majority Black cast; and in Ryan Coogler, the first to employ a Black writer and director.

  • Angelina Jolie in Talks to Join Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’ in MCU Phase 4

    Angelina Jolie in Talks to Join Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’ in MCU Phase 4

    Some mega-star power may be coming to Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the form of Oscar winner actress Angelina Jolie.

    Jolie is in talks to joinMarvel’s upcoming Phase 4 offering, “The Eternals,” directed by indie auteur Chloé Zhao, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    The Eternals are a fictional species of humanity appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are described as an offshoot of the evolutionary process that created sentient life on Earth. The original instigators of this process, the alien Celestials, intended the Eternals to be the defenders of Earth, which leads to the inevitability of war against their destructive counterparts, the Deviants. The Eternals were created by Jack Kirby and made their first appearance in 1976.

    The new project is said to be focusing on a romance between Ikaris, a man who draws his power from cosmic energy, making him practically immortal, and Sersi, a brilliant female Eternal who has the ability to alter her appearance and often prefers to live among mortals, according to THR.

    It is not yet clear which character Jolie would play. No official announcement has been made, but it is understood that Marvel is moving ahead with the project after studio president Kevin Feige confirmed its development last April, as part of Marvel’s so-called “Phase 4”. Jolie would be a huge get for the studio and could help jump start one of the more obscure Marvel titles.

  • Georgia Merry and Brian Hull New Beauty and the Beast Duet is Magical

    Georgia Merry and Brian Hull New Beauty and the Beast Duet is Magical

    Youtube sensation Georgia Merry and impressionist Brian Hull have teamed up once again. This time the duo is singing “Something There” from Disney’s “Beauty and Beast” and it’s amazing!

    Merry and Hull have partnered up for a duet before with a performance from Disney’s Pocahontas and this time they have brought the magic once again! Take a look at the new video below:

    Breaking through with her sound and style, Georgia Merry has become one of YouTube’s biggest Disney content creators. With over a hundred million video views she has really made quite a name for herself and keeps her fans coming back for more.

    Georgia is 22 and lives just outside of Manchester, UK. She created her channel around five years ago and her content is split between covers of the latest popular songs, vlogs and, by far and away her most popular and viewed content, Disney medleys.

    Each of Georgia’s Disney medleys takes around two months of solid work to produce. Her medleys are a result of massive amounts of hard work, from planning and producing the music that it will feature to cutting the transitions between songs.  She has to record the vocals, plan the costumes and make-up and then of course the shooting and editing of the video, all to come up with the final production that you’ll see on YouTube.

  • Keanu Reeves’ Mystery role in Toy Story 4 Reportedly Revealed

    Keanu Reeves’ Mystery role in Toy Story 4 Reportedly Revealed

    Late last year it was revealed that a new toy was coming to the toy box and that Keanu Reeves has a mystery role in the upcoming Toy Story 4. Now it appears that mystery role may have been revealed.

    Co-star Tim Allen shared the news on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and though he was cryptic about it, he hinted that it’s a toy with an intense personality. That lead many fans to speculated that it could be a John Wick inspired toy and it turns out that those predictions weren’t far off.

    Reeves is reportedly playing Duke Kaboom, who “hails from a place where discontinued toys are sent,” according to new details published by Observer. Porcelein shepherdess Bo Peep (Annie Potts), the one time girlfriend of sheriff cowboy doll Woody (Tom Hanks) before she fell victim to a yard sale, turns to Duke for help after her sheep have been taken from her.

    “They really will surprise you with the toys they came up with,” Allen said. “Characters came back, new guys in it that are great. Keanu Reeves has got a great part.”

    The role represents a big departure for Reeves. Despite a long and illustrious career — he made his breakthrough performance in River’s Edge in 1986 — Reeves has never had a voice role in an big-studio animated feature film.

    Toy Story 4 hits theaters on June 21, 2019.
