Josh Brolin, the “Avengers: Endgame” actor riding high (on a worm, even!) on the success of his latest film “Dune 2,” proved a reliable “Saturday Night Live” host for the third time.

Disney has been on a quest for years, trying to figure out how to make movies based on their beloved theme park rides into successful films. While the studio has had hits like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there have also been misses like Mission to Mars. One of the projects in the works is a film adaptation of the Tower of Terror attraction. Since 2021, Scarlett Johansson has been linked to the Twilight Zone-inspired project based on the accelerated drop tower dark ride. But what's going on with the…

With Marvel in desperate need of a burst of renewed interest and energy, MCU fans are increasingly sounding like the Watcher as they ponder the question… What if the OG Avengers returned? While Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Jeremy Renner’s Hakweye, and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor are all still knocking around the universe, Avengers: Endgame memorably — and heartbreakingly — wrote Iron Man, Steve Rogers’ Captain America, and Black Widow out of the franchise.

Scarlett Johansson is the perfect example of this, and she’s been in the skin cream game for a while now with The Outset. But you don’t have to be pulling a Marvel paycheck to get these…

Red carpet events should be old hat for Scarlett Johansson by now, but the longtime actress was recently floored when she was asked to watch footage of a woman disappearing in the background of one interview video she appeared in. After The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon shared a viral clip of a woman literally seeming to disappear behind the actress, things took a bit of a shocking turn when the Asteroid City actress admitted the woman was her own dear mother. No, really. The video was running around on TikTok…

Scarlett Johansson’s return as Black Widow in the MCU is a rather curious topic. Given the MCU’s history of bringing the characters back from the dead, the possibility of reviving the spy-assassin has been frequently discussed due to her massive popularity, and Johansson says that it would be a “real marvel” if Marvel could actually pull it off.
