Kevin Feige wanted to kill all six Avengers, Russo Brothers recall shooting down his ‘aggressive’ idea
Filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo made a startling revelation that Marvel president Kevin Feige wanted not two, but all six of the original Avengers dead in Avengers: Endgame. In a conversation on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the director duo said that they felt Kevin’s pitch of killing all the Avengers was way too aggressive. Joe said, “There were lots of rumours swirling about who was gonna die. Kevin did actually pitch, at one point, taking all the OGs off the board. We thought it was way too aggressive and that the audience wouldn’t be able to process it. And that, in fact, picking one or two characters to make sacrifices throughout the movie might give you moments throughout the film where the action could stop and you could have emotional catharsis and then continue with the narrative.” The brothers also spoke about the pressure that came with killing two characters–…

Can you find the glitch in the logo of the Netflix film ‘Blonde’?
Although actor Ana de Armas’ Netflix film ‘Blonde’ is being produced with a budget of over 22 million, fans couldn’t understand why there was a glitch in something as basic as the film’s logo design. Couldn’t the makers of the Marilyn Monroe biopic hire a professional graphic designer? Or was the person on the job just too lazy? As the official trailer of the Hollywood film dropped on YouTube on Thursday, netizens were quick to point out a blunder in the logo that appears at the end. The “o” and the “n” don’t properly connect in the title ‘Blonde’. “It’s such a beginner’s mistake,” commented a person under a popular Reddit post. “Also, the little “loop” is too far to the right and kinda looks more like an A. but I think that’s a discussion for a whole other sub(ject),” wrote another person.

Golden Globes to become for-profit entity after handover to Eldridge Industries
Golden Globes is now a for-profit entity controlled by US billionaire Todd Boehly. The scandal-hit group Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is undergoing a drastic change in order to “save the annual Golden Globe Awards”. The annual awards show will now be handled by Eldridge Industries, according to Variety. For the first time in decades, the annual awards show went untelevised this year amid criticism for the HFPA’s lack of diversity.

Their latest move to hand over all assets and rights to the intellectual property of Golden Globes to Eldridge is said to be a “step forward to transform and adapt to the increasingly competitive economic landscape for both awards shows and the journalism marketplace.” Eldridge will create a new private company after it acquires all rights…
