ctor Simon Pegg has opened up about his struggle with depression and alcoholism, saying that he checked into a rehabilitation centre to seek recovery. The 48-year-old actor said while he was shooting Mission: Impossible III in 2006, he was “fairly lost, and unhappy, and an alcoholic”. “It was awful, terrible,” he told The Guardian while talking about his struggle. “It owned me.” Pegg said his depression did not allow him to enjoy the experience of working with the likes of Tom Cruise on the Mission: Impossible films and J.J. Abrams on the Star Trek reboot. “I would feel like — I’m in a film with Tom
Cruise, I’ve got the part of Scotty in Star Trek”, he told the publication. “This should be making me feel happy. But it wasn’t.” “When I watch that film back, I can see where I was then, which was fairly lost, and unhappy, and an alcoholic,” Pegg added. The actor said he “micro-managed” his condition for quite some time, till the ball dropped. “One thing (addiction) does is make you clever at not giving anything away. People think junkies and alcoholics are slovenly, unmotivated people. They’re not – they are incredibly organised. They can nip out for a quick shot of whisky and you wouldn’t know
they have gone. It’s as if … you are micro-managed by it,” Pegg said. “But eventually the signs are too obvious. You have taken the dog for one too many walks,” he added. Pegg revealed that while he was on a trip to Comic-Con to promote his 2011 movie Paul, he went missing for four days. The actor said when he returned to the UK, his home, he went into rehab which helped him turn his

aptain Marvel’s release is still months away, but the film is already high on hype despite promotional material for it being scarce. The primary reason is that this will add Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson) to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that is expected to lead to a larger story arc in Avengers 4. It would also add characters like Lee Pace’s Ronan the
Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else. You make me so much better
and we complement “each other so well!! Can’t wait for the best season of life yet!.” The caption further read, “It’s funny because now with you everything seems to make sense! The thing I am most excited for is that my little brother and sister get to see another healthy stable
Accuser, Clark Gregg’s Phil Coulson and, most of all, Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury. We will see a young Nick Fury, played by Jackson himself with the help of advanced digitally de-aging technology. Speaking to Slashfilm, M a r v e l S t u d i o s President K e v i n Feige said, “Well, I think having the option is pretty amazing. And I
think having the technology and even without spoiling anything, Sam Jackson is shooting a movie for us right now that takes, where he’s entirely 25 years younger the whole movie [Captain Marvel]. So that’ll certainly be the one”. When asked about Coulson, he said, “And Coulson. So that’ll be the first one where it’s a char-acter for the whole movie, as opposed to a glimpse at a certain period of time. It’s the whole movie. So it’s possible, assuming that works. It’s possible. It’s very good when you are starting by the way with somebody like Michelle
life around. “I got into it. I got into the reasons I was feeling that way. I went into AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) for a while, too. I don’t think I would be here now if I hadn’t had help,” h e said. (Indian Express)

Pfeiffer or Michael Douglas or for that matter Sam Jackson or Clark Gregg. All four of them…” De-aging has been used before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Robert Downey Jr was shown as an angsty teenager in Captain America: Civil War. Kurt Russell was shown as a young man in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. As Michael Douglas recently said, there are opportunities to use older actors, deage them and make prequels if the technology is so far advanced that one cannot tell the difference between the de-aged version of the actor and his or her real younger self.

ies that had solemn or out-and-out dark tone. While dark tones suited Batman, fans did not like what Zack Snyder did with Superman. The most optimistic of superheroes was written as a fascist thug who – wait for it – wasn’t averse to killing people. Patty Jenkins rightly ignored everything that was done before in the cinematic universe and went for a hopeful film with a lighter tone and a more colourful palette. Released last year, Wonder Woman earned 821.8 million dollars worldwide, and broke several records. Director Patty Jenkins became the first woman to helm an American superhero movie. The film itself became the highest-grossing female-directed liveaction movie of all time, highest-grossing origin movie and so on. It remains the only critically acclaimed DC film universe movie so far. Wonder Woman is due out November 1, 2019. (Indian Express)
