With the Dceu out of the picture and James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe on the way, so seems to be a new Wonder Woman. While Gal Gadot has been widely commended for the star-studded performance she gave as Diana Prince, now speculation is rising on who could be the most immaculate replacement for her. And our top choice is nothing less than Ana de Armas.

An actress with the perfect wits, charms, and acting chops required for the role, Armas inevitably checks a lot of boxes when it comes to the next likely Diana Prince portrayers. While her works are enough to show her versatility to step into a role this deep, here’s a breakdown of why we would never stop dubbing Armas one of the most perfect replacements for Gadot in the Dcu.

The longest time frame between James Bond movie releases was six years, with the mark being hit twice: first between Timothy Dalton’s final outing, 1989’s License to Kill, and Pierce Brosnan’s debut, 1995’s GoldenEye; the most recent came between 2015’s Spectre and 2021’s No Time to Die. It has now been three years since that Daniel Craig farewell hit the screen…but will it be another three? According to one key figure at Amazon (who acquired MGM in 2022), patience is still key.
Speaking with The Guardian, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said, “The global audience will be patient. We don’t want too much time between films, but we are not concerned at this point.” That comment seems to sit somewhere in the middle. Are the studios not concerned because they have a specific vision for the future? Or because they feel like they’re on track for...

It’s taking a long time to get a new James Bond film made – but Amazon MGM is not rocking the boat with Eon at the moment.
James Bond day came and went this year, as it has the last few years, without a whisper as to the future of 007 on the big screen. Since the release of No Time To Die, Daniel Craig’s swansong that was shooting five years ago, Eon Productions has offered little sign of what the new Bond film will be, and who will be playing 007.
But then part-stakeholders now in the James Bond movie series is Amazon, who bought up MGM a few years back. Amaazon MGM studios now has a global head, Jennifer Salke, and she’s been asked about, well, where the hell 007 has got to?

The world of music would have been very different if Billie Eilish had not been a singer. A Grammy-winning, Academy Award-winning, twenty Guinness World Records holder, and much much more, Eilish, since her debut has become one of the most followed and relatable young musicians in the world.

Sam Mendes may have outgrown the James Bond franchise in more ways than one.
Mendes, who directed 007 films “Skyfall” (2012) and “Spectre” (2015), told Inverse that he probably won’t return to make a third. The key members behind the franchise, like producer Barbara Broccoli and now Amazon MGM Studios, prefer up-and-coming filmmakers who are “more controllable.”
“They want slightly more malleable people who are earlier in their career, who perhaps are going to use it as a stepping stone, and who are more controllable by the studio,” Mendes said.
Mendes hedged on the notion of a third Bond film with the requisite “never say never,” but it sounds like a never.
“I would doubt it,” Mendes said. “It was very good for me at that moment in my life. I felt like it shot me out of some old habits. It made me think on a bigger scale. It made me...

Bond fever is gripping the globe and all eyes are turned towards the most headline-grabbing aspect of the next installment in the long-running property. What, do you think all the frenzied speculation begins and ends with the newest leading man who'll eventually try on that impeccably-tailored suit? Ha! In my eye, what's just as crucial to the future of this series is the filmmaker who'll take a seat in the director's chair and try to improve on Daniel Craig's widely celebrated run as James Bond. In the three years (and counting) since "No Time to Die" brought that iteration to a very definitive end -- and it doesn't get any more definitive than killing off the title character for the first time in franchise history -- all the most obvious names have been bandied back and forth. While I wouldn't put much stock into the notion of Christopher Nolan...

Sam Mendes directed two James Bond movies, “Skyfall” (2012) and “Spectre” (2015), and he doubts he’ll return to the 007 franchise to helm a third entry. Speaking to Inverse to promote his new HBO series “The Franchise,” Mendes said the studio often needs a director who is younger and thus more “controllable.” That’s no longer him.
“Never say never, to quote the man, but I would doubt it,” Mendes said about directing a third “Bond” movie. “It was very good for me at that moment in my life. I felt like it shot me out of some old habits. It made me think on a bigger scale. It made me use different parts of my brain. You have to have a lot of energy.”

How lucky are we to be around at the same time that Luca Guadagnino is doing his thing? The Italian director has delivered some of the boldest and most uncompromising works of the last decade and change, one as recent as earlier this year. He's also gone even further and maintained an exceptionally keen eye for finding the stories worth telling in the first place. His latest, conceptualized during filming of "Challengers" and written by "Challengers" scribe Justin Kuritzkes, sets its sights on no less a figure than wildly influential novelist William S. Burroughs. Burroughs' life and overall body of work could never be contained in a single biopic (though many have tried), so "Queer" takes the next best approach: an adaptation of his unfinished short story of the same name, reimagined as an intimate epic that almost feels designed to perplex and provoke in equal measure.

He is a 10-time Grammy award winner as well. Finneas is slated to make a solo comeback shortly with his second album, “For Crying’ Out Loud.” Recently, he released the track “Lotus Eater” from his upcoming album. He also released “For Crying Out Loud!” and “Cleats” to invoke curiosity amongst his fans for the new music he prepared.

It takes more than a village to make a movie; it’s more like a small army. And in the case of “The Franchise,” that army has a lot of faces you’ll recognize.
Streaming on Max and airing on HBO on Sundays, the comedy series tells the story of a film crew working to put together the next installment in a major (fictional) superhero franchise.

All the James Bond films go back on Prime Video to celebrate James Bond Day this weekend – but there’s no sign of a new film announcement.
The official James Bond 007 website has been drawing attention to the fact that this Saturday, the 5th of October, is James Bond day. This has become a thing it seems over the last few years, and it marks the date of the world premiere for Dr No, the first official 007 movie.
Dr No was released in 1962, which coincidentally appears to be the last time we heard anything about where the James Bond saga is going next. Following Daniel Craig’s swansong in the tuxedo back in 2021’s No Time To Die, there’s been radio silence from Eon Productions over the whens, wheres and hows of the next James Bond movie.

Back in 2018, Justin Bieber made headlines for tearing up while addressing then-18-year-old Billie Eilish’s rise to fame and how he wanted to protect her in the industry. Although fans weren’t previously bothered by Bieber’s concerns for Eilish—in recent times, following the heartbreaking revelations resurfacing about the Baby singer—netizens believe there is a good reason why he got emotional while discussing Eilish’s career.

James Bond is one of the most enduring characters in film history.
The fictional British Secret Service agent, created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming and also known as 007, made his debut in 1962′s Dr. No, with Sean Connery starring as Bond.
There have been over two dozen films ever since, leading up to the most recent entry: No Time to Die, starring Daniel Craig as the titular character.
The films have grossed over $7 billion at the box office, making it the fifth highest grossing film series of all time. As far as their critical reception, however, the movies greatly range from largely negative reviews to near-universal acclaim.
We’ve rounded up the 25 official Bond movies released over the past decades, and ranked them based on their Rotten Tomatoes score.

Daniel Craig’s all about shaking things up—especially when it comes to his portrayal of James Bond. In a world where some classic tropes have come under fire, Craig’s just fine with his 007 movies steering clear of the outdated, sexist clichés that often plagued earlier films in the franchise. This suave secret agent ain’t just about gadgets and global espionage; he’s got a modern twist that keeps things fresh and relevant.

The hot talk of the town, Ana de Armas is all set to make her debut in the John Wick universe with her upcoming Ballerina – a piece that sounds like it could soon have her career skyrocketing even further. Over the years since she debuted in Hollywood, the Cuban-Spanish stunner has scored enough groundbreaking roles to establish herself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

While this includes bagging some really top-notch roles, with her upcoming role in Ballerina another significant addition to the list, de Armas has also commendably managed to become an Academy Award contender during the mere first decade of her career in Hollywood. This, of course, means she has a substantial net worth as well, considering how quickly she has launched herself to become a household name in Hollywood.

After sharing a tease yesterday, Lionsgate has shared the first official trailer for their upcoming John Wick spinoff Ballerina, which stars Academy Award-nominee Ana de Armas in the lead role as a young assassin named Eve Macarro, who, after a tragedy, begins training in the ways of the Ruska Roma and plots her vengeance against those that wronged her family.
The film's official synopsis reads, "Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma."
While the trailer does give us plenty of footage of the fan-favorite Cuban actress kicking all kinds of ass across the world, it wraps up with the most epic of cameos as the one-and-only Keanu Reeves reprises his iconic role as John Wick, a.k.a. Baba Yaga, and it looks like he'll...

We’ve been waiting for Ana de Armas to get a proper action movie ever since she was one of the standout Bond women in “No Time to Die.” Now she’s joining another iconic action franchise: the “John Wick” universe.
“Ballerina,” a spinoff movie within the “John Wick” franchise, has finally landed a trailer from Lionsgate. The long-awaited project originated as an original story by screenwriter Shay Hatten back in 2017; the script was re-written to bring it into the “Wick” universe of assassins. The titular ballerina killer was briefly introduced in “John Wick 3: Parabellum.”
Unlike Peacock’s “Wick” prequel series “The Continental,” “Ballerina” is set in between the events of the third and fourth “John Wick” movies and even features brief appearances from both Keanu Reeves and the late Lance Reddick. As Lionsgate film group president Adam Fogelson previously confirmed, the film avoids the fate of John Wick...

Daniel Craig has been in a relationship with actress Rachel Weisz since 2010 and they have been married since 2011. He had known Weisz since working together on Les Grandes Horizontales in 1994. Their relationship had experienced both ups & downs and a large part of their down times could be attributed to his James Bond role.

To announce tomorrow's trailer launch, Lionsgate has shared the first teaser for Ballerina, their upcoming John Wick spinoff that will star Academy Award-nominee Ana de Armas in the leading role as a young assassin named Eve Macarro, who is training in the ways of the Ruska Roma, a group that was first introduced in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum.
The film's official synopsis reveals the new film's place in the larger John Wick universe and how Keanu Reeves' Baba Yaga, who has been confirmed to appear, may factor into the film's proceedings.

Even though Daniel Craig has been famous for playing quite a few characters following his breakthrough in the entertainment industry through Our Friends in the North, his best role to date still ranks as one of the most iconic iterations of James Bond of all time. But while the part brought him tremendous fame and wealth, it also seriously meddled with his personal life indirectly.

As it turns out, though his immaculate portrayal of the fan-favorite peerless spy has left behind a legacy very few could live up to, it has done no favors to Craig’s current wife Rachel Weisz. Apparently, Bond was exactly what was causing further rifts in his 13-year-long married life as it left him as a “broken” man “very hard to live with” until the time he let go of the character.

“I don’t think I’m going to be in the next one,” Whishaw recently told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg about his future in the James Bond film franchise. “I think they’re going to start all over again, and with a new cast, a completely new cast.

Ben Whishaw suggests that the entire cast may be replaced for the next generation of James Bond 007: more here.
Speculation remains rife as to the future of the James Bond movie saga, even as franchise guardians Eon keeps up its policy of radio silence until it’s ready to talk. Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are presumably moving things along behind the scenes, but even as the rumour mill throws in names of directors and potential successors to Daniel Craig, we’re still seemingly as we were come the end of 2021’s No Time To Die.
Still, when someone involved with the James Bond saga has a thing or two to say, it does come with a little more weight. And while Ben Whishaw – being interviewed on the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg programme over the weekend – is just proffering his opinion, it does suggest more clues.

The upcoming spy thriller movie “Ballerina,” starring Ana de Armas, has become an important part of the popular John Wick action series. As plans for another John Wick movie starring Keanu Reeves are uncertain, “Ballerina” plays a key role in continuing this universe of assassins and secret organizations.
Set between previous John Wick films, “Ballerina” focuses on a skilled assassin named Rooney seeking revenge after criminals kill her family. Though few plot details are known, the movie will likely connect to John Wick’s story and provide new context for past events. With uncertainty around a fifth John Wick movie, Reeves’ appearance in “Ballerina” takes on significance as possibly his farewell or setup for a return.
Rumors of a 2025 start for “John Wick 5” were dismissed, leaving fans unsure when or if Reeves might reprise his iconic role. Ambiguity grows from the ambiguous ending of “John Wick: Chapter 4,” which seemingly...
