Harrison Ford was a fan of 'Fleabag,' and wanted her to play 'Indiana Jones.' Phoebe Waller Bridge is the cover girl for the latest issue of Vanity Fair.

Phoebe Waller Bridge is the cover girl for the latest issue of Vanity Fair. She uses it to show how her life has changed in just a few years since Fleabag. She has been in Star Wars, co-wrote last James Bond script and is now partnering with Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones' Last Ride - she plays Indiana Jones' goddaughter and Harrison Ford, it turns out, is a huge Fleabag Fan. She signed a lucrative deal with Amazon Prime a few years ago. However, she hasn't done anything but talk about the Lara Croft TV series that she is working on, or was working on, before the writers strike. Here are some highlights from VF. Fleabag transformed everything: "Fleabag completely changed my career. And then you are so in the moment. Then years go by, pandemics occur, Star Wars is made, Indiana Jones is created. It becomes more and more surreal." Harrison Ford wanted Phoebe to play Indiana Jones. She heard about the project first from Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy who brought up the idea on Ford's behalf. Ford is a big Fleabag Fan. In March 2020, the two women had dinner. Kennedy informed her that James Mangold would be writing and directing the final Indiana Jones film, and that Mangold wanted to explore what it was like to be an older adventurer. Waller-Bridge was intrigued by the idea. She says that people have a preconceived notion of how long a franchise should last. "I always find the most interesting things when you push just a bit past the end. What happens after a conversation? What happens when someone gets into a taxi and leaves for home?" When doing stunt work, "I was just as surprised as you were. I've always had a very lanky and awkward physique. I remember saying early on to Jim and Kathleen: "So I'll do lots of training for the stunt debut?" And they said, "I think it would make you laugh if you didn't." What I love about this character is that she jumps before she looks. She will jump onto the back of a car without knowing whether she is going to live or not. It's only through her willpower that she stays on." Harrison Ford's attitude towards me: "He made very clear that I was equal to him from the very beginning, and this was very liberating. It allowed me to play around and be silly and mischievous." She is not Indy's replacement: "There is no way to replace Indiana Jones." "I feel like the character--she felt fresh on the page and there was a sense, Is there room in this world for someone like her?" She reminds of Indy, who has always been a flawed and reluctant hero. A professor who is afraid of snakes, and gets sore from his fights. "I do believe there is room in the future for a female action star who's clumsier and more bruised." The feeling of developing a Lara Croft Amazon series: "It felt like the teenager inside me was saying, Do what's right for her, do what's right for Lara!" As we discussed earlier, the opportunity to have a female action hero .... After working on Bond, and as an actor in Indy I feel that I have been building towards this. What if I was able to take over an action franchise with all I've learned and a character that I love, while also bringing back a little of the '90s feel? The project sparked "big roaring" instincts in her. It's a wonderful feeling knowing what you should do. The world of remakes and reboots. "I think that when you work in the industry you have to lean in and ride the waves. It's possible to do something very dangerous. If I can make Tomb Raider dangerous and exciting, I have an audience who already love Lara. This is an unusual situation. It's an old Trojan Horse." Donald Glover quits the Mr. Mrs. Smith Series. "I spent six months working on that show with all my heart and soul. I still care about it. I'm sure it will be brilliant. It's important to know when to leave a party. "You don't want get in the path of a vision." She says that creative...

(Photo by Small Island Films /Courtesy Everett Collection) You’re gonna need a bigger screen. But that’s only if you want to take in the full awesome glory of earth’s bitiest avenger: the shark!It’s the only apex predator we humans have cleared time from our busy schedule to pay humble tribute to (we’ve certainly never heard of Sperm Whale Week), Rotten Tomatoes likewise took the time to put together our list of the best shark movies (and the worst) ever — all ranked by Tomatometer. Our love/hate cinematic relationship with sharks began with directing legend Samuel Fuller and his aptly titled Shark! in 1969, a movie which effectively killed his career for a decade, until 1980’s The Big Red One. Here was a lesson most people would take wisdom from (sharks, even the ones you make up, are not to be trifled with), but it takes a certain cavalier breed to make it as a director, forging ahead where others spectacularly failed. Enter Steven Spielberg. His 1975 masterpiece Jaws, infamous in almost destroying the young auteur mentally and professionally, would become the first-ever blockbuster. It buoyed the summer season out of the doldrums and turned it into a big-budget movie destination, while instilling a real fear of deep water for a whole generation. It’s been open season for shark movies in Hollywood ever since, and in the ensuing decades we’ve gotten camp classics (Sharknado!), modern hits (The Shallows!), the lovable (Deep Blue Sea!), and the very much not-so (Ghost Shark!). Now that we’re all chums caught up on some fishy history, continue on to see every shark movie ever that chomped up a Tomatometer! —Alex Vo #1 Adjusted Score: 105472% Critics Consensus: Compelling, well-crafted storytelling and a judicious sense of terror ensure Steven Spielberg's Jaws has remained a benchmark in the art of delivering modern blockbuster thrills. Synopsis: When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island,... [More] #2 Adjusted Score: 97281% Critics Consensus: A fascinating tribute to a pioneer as well as an engrossing act of environmental advocacy, Playing with Sharks makes up in enjoyment what it lacks in depth. Synopsis: Photographer Valerie Taylor becomes a trailblazing advocate for the ocean's most maligned and misunderstood creatures.... [More] #3 Adjusted Score: 83419% Critics Consensus: A well-crafted retelling of an epic true story, Kon Tiki is a throwback to old-school adventure filmmaking that's exciting and entertaining in spite of its by-the-book plotting. Synopsis: Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl (Pål Sverre Hagen) suspects that the South Sea Islands were originally colonized by South Americans. In... [More] #4 Adjusted Score: 79651% Critics Consensus: In addition to its breathtaking underwater photography, Sharkwater has a convincing, impassioned argument of how the plight of sharks affects everyone.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One First Reviews: Action Filmmaking at Its Finest The beginning of the end of the Mission: Impossible movie franchise appears to be another banger, according to the first reviews of the sequel. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One again stars Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, and the actor continues to put his life on the line in order to deliver the best cinematic experience possible. Does this first part of the franchise finale live up to the hype and provide another classic of the action movie genre? Here’s what critics are saying about Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One: How does it compare to... The beginning of the end of the Mission: Impossible movie franchise appears to be another banger, according to the first reviews of the sequel. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One again stars Tom Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, and the actor continues to put his life on the line in order to deliver the best cinematic experience possible. Does this first part of the franchise finale live up to the hype and provide another classic of the action movie genre? Here’s what critics are saying about Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One: How does it compare to the other Mission: Impossible movies? “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is the best Mission: Impossible film yet.” – Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies “This new entry ramps up the excitement and sheer flat-out impressiveness to a new level.” – Todd McCarthy, Deadline Hollywood Daily “McQuarrie has made the most tactile Mission yet.” – Alex Godfrey, Empire Magazine “Probably the funniest of the franchise, it tries hard to ensure that you have a good time at the movies.” – Tessa Smith, Mama’s Geeky “Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One isn’t quite as dynamic as McQuarrie’s preceding Fallout, but it’s not far off that standout’s pace.” – Nick Schager, The Daily Beast “Dead Reckoning Part One may not be the best movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise — there’s no topping the raw adrenaline rush of Fallout, and McQuarrie is smart enough not to try — but this extravagantly entertaining Dolby soap opera nails what the Mission: Impossible franchise does best.” – David Ehrlich, IndieWire “Coming after the series high of 2018’s Fallout, in which McQuarrie found an ideal balance of story, character, and turbocharged spectacle, this aspect of the film, it must be acknowledged, is disappointing.” – David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is as big of a step back from the last two films as its title is overly long. Another mediocre summer blockbuster.” – Kaitlyn Booth, Bleeding Cool (Photo by Paramount Pictures) Does it up the stakes for the franchise? “As the beginning of the series’ end game, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One features genuine stakes.” – Nick Schager, The Daily Beast “Dead Reckoning sometimes strains to live up to the high standards of earlier installments – especially in presenting this latest global threat as even more terrifying than all the ones that came before.” – Tim Grierson, Screen International Is it better than most action movies, period? “Few films have come into existence that display so much confidence and conviction in what they’re doing and can follow through with their ideas onscreen virtually without regard to budgetary constraints… This is Hollywood action filmmaking at its peak.” – Todd McCarthy, Deadline Hollywood Daily “At a moment when nearly every other franchise, from Marvel to Avatar, has embraced the fake look of CG cartoons, Mission: Impossible appears the most practical: So much of what we see really was captured on camera, and that makes all the difference.” – Peter Debruge, Variety “Dead Reckoning Part One transcends anything any other action tentpole can even dream of touching.” – Hoai-Tran Bui, Inverse “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One still delivers big-screen spectacle like no other blockbuster this year.” – Ian Sandwell, Digital Spy (Photo by Christian Black/Paramount Pictures) So how are those action scenes? “Damn does Dead Reckoning deliver on the action! I don’t know how these movies keep topping themselves, but they do.” – Travis Hopson, Punch Drunk Critics “There’s a thunderous brawniness (and goofy wit) to the director’s showstoppers, which expertly up the ante, culminating with a massively inventive and suspenseful climax that puts the loco in locomo...

News This month's top picks include some of the most anticipated films of the entire year, led by a death-defying spy, a theoretical physicist, and a living doll who journeys to the real world. TAGGED AS: blockbusters, movies, news We’re midway through summer and a few of the most anticipated films of the year are set to hit theaters. And while one of them clearly resonated with more of our fans across social media than the other offerings, it wasn’t a unanimous winner, and the films that finished in second and third weren’t all that far behind. Read on for the most anticipated movies opening in July 2023! Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One (2023) #1 on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube; #2 on Twitter Release Date: July 12 Tom Cruise is back to perform death-defying stunts for our entertainment, and by the looks of things, everyone is ready to dive back into the world of Ethan Hunt and his fellow IMF agents. Reviews have just dropped for the film, and perhaps unsurprisingly, they are overwhelmingly positive, which is a good sign, considering this is just the first of a two-part story. This is pure popcorn entertainment led by one of the world’s last true movie stars, so it’s no surprise to see it at the top of this month’s list. Oppenheimer (2023) #1 on Twitter; #2 on Instagram and YouTube; #3 on Facebook Release Date: July 21 Christopher Nolan is one of a handful of directors who can pretty reliably count on his fanbase to show up for his films, no matter what. As its title suggests, his latest project is a based-on-true-events profile of the man credited with shepherding the atomic bomb into existence. Not only is the film directed by Nolan, but it also stars one of his frequent (and fan-favorite) collaborators, Cillian Murphy, and it’s the first film to shoot IMAX in black and white, so there are a lot of reasons to check it out. Barbie (2023) #2 on Facebook; #3 on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube Release Date: July 21 Opening directly oppositeOppenheimer and offering a bit of distinct counter-programming, we have this tongue-in-cheek meta-comedy about arguably history’s most popular doll, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie. Again, all extremely compelling reasons to see the film. Will the weekend be ruled by Ken and Barbie or kiloton bombs? Will either of them even be able to dethroneMission: Impossible, which opens the week before them? Mark your calendars and be prepared to spend a chunk of change at the theater. Haunted Mansion (2023) #4 on Facebook and Instagram; #5 onYouTube Release Date: July 28 Coming in far behind Ethan Hunt, J-Bob Oppenheimer, and Barbie is Disney’s second attempt to adapt the titular amusement park ride into a movie. Rosario Dawson leads an eclectic all-star cast (Owen Wilson, LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito) in a horror-comedy ostensibly aimed at families with particularly brave children. Directed by Justin Simien (Dear White People), this one managed a fourth place finish on Facebook and Instagram and snuck in at No. 5 on YouTube. Insidious: The Red Door (2023) #4 on Twitter and Youtube Release Date: July 7 Lastly, coming in behind Disney’s horror-comedy for kids, we have the latest chapter of another horror franchise. Insidious: The Red Door is actually a direct sequel toInsidious: Chapter 2, and it marks the directorial debut for star Patrick Wilson, who reunites with his screen family (Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, and Andrew Astor) for a story that picks up 10 years afterChapter 2. The series has admittedly lost some of its luster, but it still maintains a dedicated following, so it makes some sense that there are still fans out there looking forward to more.

Britney Spears' security guard, Victor Wembanyama, slapped her in the face. Britney Spears was involved in a horrible incident this week. Britney Spears was at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas. She saw San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama with his security at the hotel. Britney went up to Victor to ask for a picture. She approached him behind him, tapped on his shoulder (that was her version), and then one of Victor’s security guards backhanded her.

Britney Spears was at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas. She saw San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama with his security at the hotel. Britney went up to Victor to ask for a picture. She approached him behind him, tapped on his shoulder (that was her version), and then one of Victor’s security guards backhanded her. Britney filed a police complaint and Victor and she both released statements on Thursday. Recent No. Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall draft choice in this year's NBA Draft, has already experienced his first NBA drama. It involves Britney. According to the Associated Press, the San Antonio Spurs phenom has confirmed that he took part in an incident that allegedly occurred Wednesday at the Aria Hotel Las Vegas. A member of his team slapped the pop icon. According to TMZ Spears filed a report with the police identifying Spurs director Damian Smith, the person who backhanded the pop icon. There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the matter would be investigated criminally. Photos show a person who is identified as Spears walking behind Wembanyama, Smith and Wembanyama. Spears, who was walking with Wembanyama into a restaurant at the time, reportedly asked him for a picture and then tapped his shoulder. This allegedly led to the slap. Smith apologized to Spears at her table. She accepted. Wembanyama, speaking to reporters on Thursday, somewhat confirmed the story. He claimed that Spears had grabbed him rather than tapped him on the shoulders and that his security "pushed" her away instead of slapping him: "It happened, just a little, while I was walking to a restaurant with some team security. We were in a hall. It was obvious that there were a lot people and I got a lot calls. One person was calling, but I had already spoken to the security. I couldn't stop. Wembanyama stated that the person who grabbed him from behind was calling out, "Sir, Sir." "I didn’t see anything because I was walking straight, and I didn’t stop. She grabbed my back, not my shoulder. I know that security pushed her out. Security pushed her back, I don't even know how hard. "I didn't look to see if I could get in and have a nice meal." He said he did not know that the person was Spears for several hours. "I thought it was nothing, but then the security at the Spurs informed me it was Britney Spears." At first I thought you were joking. But it turned out to be Britney Spears. I never saw her. "I just kept walking straight." Spears released a Twitter statement in which she refuted Wembanyama’s claim that he grabbed her and highlighted the force of the blow. "I have experienced a lot of traumatizing experiences. Was I prepared for the events of last night? As I was walking to dinner, I recognized an athlete as I passed through the lobby of my hotel. Later, I went to another hotel's restaurant and saw him. I approached him to congratulate him for his success. It was very loud so I tapped on his shoulder to get him attention. I know the player's statement, where he says "I grabbed [him] from behind", but I tapped him on his shoulder. The security guard then backhanded me in the nose without looking back in front of an audience. I was nearly knocked down, and my glasses were ripped off my face. Spears noted that she had been surrounded by 20 fans on the same evening, but her security team did not hit any of them. She asked for a public apologize from Wembanyama and the Spurs, as well as their security. "This story is embarrassing to tell the world, but it's already out there." But I do think that it is important to tell this story, and to encourage people who are in the public eye treat everyone with respect. In this world, physical violence is too common. Often behind closed doors. I stand by all victims, and my h...

All Indiana Jones Movies Ranked by Tomatometer (Photo by Paramount / courtesy Everett Collection) In creating Indiana Jones, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas paid tribute to the movie serials of their youth, featuring thrill-a-minute action in far-flung locations, breathless cliffhangers, and a clear delineation between good and evil. It doesn’t take too much character work to motivate punching a Nazi in the face.

It doesn’t take too much character work to motivate punching a Nazi in the face. And they say every actor desires to dress up and play cowboy; Harrison Ford got to wear that hat and ride that horse as Indy, and so much more. He’s a learned doctor, an archaeology professor, a whip-cracking swashbuckler, a romantic lead, and a museum advocate. The original trilogy — action showpiece Raiders of the Lost Ark, dark prequel Temple of Doom, and spirited The Last Crusade — may be ’80s movies riffing on the ’30s, but they feel timeless. These fantastic voyages of danger and discovery are filled with iconic characters (including Karen Allen as Jones’ old flame Marion, Ke Huy Quan as sidekick Short Round, and Sean Connery as his flinty pops Henry), and strengthened with significant emotional beats and that legendary John Williams theme and soundtrack. Their direct storytelling and stunt-driven action is why we fell in love with movies in the first place. Past the ’80s, the adventure continued with 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, moving the series past World War II and into the atomic era. With 2023’s Dial of Destiny, Indiana Jones takes one last step into the spotlight during the space age. And now we’re ranking every Indiana Jones movie by Tomatometer! #1 Adjusted Score: 103590% Critics Consensus: Featuring bravura set pieces, sly humor, and white-knuckle action, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most consummately entertaining adventure pictures of all time.

Synopsis: An art collector appeals to Jones to embark on a search for the Holy Grail. He learns that another archaeologist... [More] #3 Adjusted Score: 88876% Critics Consensus: Though the plot elements are certainly familiar, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still delivers the thrills and Harrison Ford's return in the title role is more than welcome.

Taylor Swift and Matt Healy have either reunited or they haven’t spoken for a month The only thing funnier than Taylor Swift and Matt Healy's relationship was their breakup. Taylor gave Matt the full Boyfriend Rollout, and it was clear that they started months before the news broke in May. Even with the Swift machinery supporting Healy, he couldn't hide the fact that he's pretty racist and disgusting. Which made it hilarious when Swift was in the trenches just weeks into the Boyfriend Rollout - it was clear that her people were encouraging her to pull the plug on the whole relationship, which she did by early June. Overwrought quotes were provided to People Magazine... The only thing funnier than Taylor Swift and Matt Healy's relationship was their breakup. Taylor gave Matt the full Boyfriend Rollout, and it was clear that they started months before the news broke in May. Even with the Swift machinery supporting Healy, he couldn't hide the fact that he's pretty racist and disgusting. Which made it hilarious when Swift was in the trenches just weeks into the Boyfriend Rollout - it was clear that her people were encouraging her to pull the plug on the whole relationship, which she did by early June. Overwrought quotes were provided to People Magazine and TMZ about how Swift and Healy are still good friends, that the relationship was never that serious, that Swift absolutely did NOT dump Healy because of his racism. It felt like Swift was fighting with her team about it. Well, now the Sun - the outlet which broke the news of Swealy in the first place - claims that Healy and Swift are back in contact and probably back in a relationship. Superstar singer Taylor Swift has rekindled her romance with British rocker Matty Healy. Sources say the pair's surprise reunion comes after The 1975's frontman, 34, fired a female crew member from their touring party. Friends say Matty has sacked a female crew member from The 1975's touring team -- suggesting a potential issue between her and US superstar Taylor. A pal said of the couple, who also briefly dated early in their careers: "There is just something electric between them and they seem to have overcome it all quite quickly and decided they definitely want to make it work at all costs. They're arranging time together in between tour dates and talking all the time. He's utterly smitten and it seems to be mutual." "One thing that was pretty telling was when a girl who had worked with the band for a while -- she took care of their image, some styling, hair and make-up, that sort of thing -- suddenly left. It sounds as though there may have been a bit of an issue over her closeness to Matty. One thing is for sure, he isn't letting anything come between his chances of making it work with Taylor." [From The Sun] Yeah... I actually believe that the Swealy breakup wasn't even about romantic, racial or socio-political drama, it was about simple logistics of keeping up a relationship while they were both on tour this summer. Swift's people even left open the possibility of a reunion when they confirmed the breakup. So... it's even funnier that Swift's team ran to People Magazine with a denial of The Sun's story: Taylor Swift and Matty Healy are not giving romance another go. Despite a report that the Grammy winner and The 1975 frontman are back together, a source close to Swift tells PEOPLE the musicians are not dating again. "They are absolutely not together and aren't even in contact anymore. She is enjoying being single and has been spending time in the studio and hanging out with friends in New York City. This is all B.S.," says the Swift source. "It's complete nonsense," a source close to the British band adds. "Not true at all." Reps for Swift and The 1975 have not commented. [From People] I know a secret love affair when I see one. Again, the Sun broke the story of Swealy in the first place, just as the Sun broke the news (with exclusive photos) of Swift and Tom Hiddleston back in 2016. The Sun has some kind of "in" with Swift's team, so in this narrow situation, I kind of believe that the Sun might be more on-target here. I think the denial to People is an attempt to turn down the temperature on her controversial taste in racist incels. Photos courtesy of Backgrid.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch Tom Cruise drive a motorcycle off a cliff. The seventh movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise will hit theaters this July, and it looks as though it will continue Cruise’s tradition of putting increasingly jaw-dropping, death defying stunts into each one of these action flicks. But, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will just be the first half of a two-part story, as the title suggests. Ahead of the premiere of the first half of Ethan Hunt’s next mission, we’ve done our own stunt work and gathered up everything you need to know about the Dead Reckoning Part One and Part Two . When Do Parts One and Two Come Out? (Photo by Christian Black/Paramount Pictures) Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, the seventh film in the Crusie-led film adaptation of the ’60s and ’70s espionage TV series, hits theaters soon, on July 12, 2023. Fans won’t have to wait (that) long for the conclusion, as Part Two is set to premiere slightly under a year later, on June 28, 2024. However, filming on Part Two is currently paused due to the Writers Strike, so it’s quite possible that the release date will be delayed again. Both movies will be exclusive theatrical releases — and if they’re anything like Top Gun: Maverick , another Cruise movie from Paramount Pictures, the same studio behind Mission: Impossible, they won’t be streaming for a while. Maverick hit Paramount+ more than 200 days after its theatrical premiere. Were it not for the COVID-19 pandemic, Dead Reckoning would have already been released, as Part One was originally slated for a July 2021 premiere. Delays due to the pandemic and subsequent COVID filming protocols (this is where Cruise’s viral, uh, virus rant originated) pushed the release back to 2022, then eventually to 2023. Though it’s rare that any franchise ever truly ends, Dead Reckoning Part Two is expected to be the end of the franchise — at least as it currently exists. Who’s Directing It? (Photo by Christian Black/Paramount Pictures) Christopher McQuarrie, the director who took Mission: Impossible to new heights starting with Rogue Nation , the fifth film in the franchise, returns for both Part One and Part Two of Dead Reckoning. McQuarrie also co-wrote both installments with Erik Jendresen. Who’s In It? (Photo by Christian Black/Paramount Pictures) Tom Cruise first played IMF agent extraordinaire Ethan Hunt in 1996 when the original Mission: Impossible hit theaters. He’ll have just turned 61 when Dead Reckoning Part One premieres, and Part Two will supposedly be his final appearance as the character, some 28 years later. He’ll be joined by several returning cast members, including Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames as his fellow IMF agents Benji Dunn and Luther Stickell, respectively. Rebecca Ferguson returns as ex-MI6 agent Ilsa Faust, and Henry Czerny returns as former IMF director Eugene Kittridge, a character who hasn’t been seen since the original ‘96 franchise-starter. Vanessa Kirby returns as Alanna Mitsopolis, the black market arms dealer-turned-uneasy ally to Ethan Hunt, as does Frederick Schmidt, playing her brother Zola Mitsopolis. (Photo by Christian Black/Paramount Pictures) There are lots of new additions to the franchise as well. Hayley Atwell, best known for playing Peggy Carter in the MCU, joins as Grace, a character McQuarrie described as a “destructive force of nature” with “somewhat ambiguous loyalties” on the franchise-focused Light the Fuse podcast. Ozark’s Esai Morales plays the film’s primary villain, Gabriel (Morales took over for Renfield star Nicholas Hoult, who dropped out due to scheduling issues), while Guardians of the Galaxy’s Pom Klementieff plays an assassin who works for Gabriel.

Salespeople and soldiers are both always ready to face any challenges that come their way. Sales representatives need to be as prepared as soldiers to face their enemies. Continuous training and skill improvement are essential to achieve success. Sales role-playing is a great tool to stay up to date on the latest products and services, as well as improve your ability in handling difficult situations. This blog will provide a comprehensive guide to the importance of sales role-play, its evolution in 2023, various scenarios to be considered, the role of videos and ChatGPT, as well as the many benefits that it provides to sales teams. What is a sales role-play? Sales role-play involves simulated real-life scenarios that sales professionals use to improve their skills. Reps can experiment in a safe setting, learn from their mistakes and improve on skills such as prospecting and objection handling. They can also develop their negotiation and closing abilities. Sales reps take on the roles of both the salesperson as well as the customer during the sessions, allowing them to gain a wide range of perspectives and challenges. This method provides reps with a supportive and safe environment to improve their sales techniques, receive feedback and practice at their own pace. Sales role-play in 2023 Sales role-play has grown in importance over the years. Businesses will be faced with a market that is more complex and changing rapidly in 2023. Businesses must be able to adapt quickly as customers become more demanding. Both sales reps and customers must stay abreast of the latest trends and products. Sales reps can use intelligent tools like ChatGPT to participate in regular role-playing so that they are well-prepared and agile in such a dynamic marketplace. Further down, we will go into more detail. Different types of sales role play scenarios The scenarios that can be used in a sales role play are varied and tailored to meet specific learning objectives. Here are some examples: Sales reps can learn to engage prospects, effectively communicate their value proposition, handle objections and ultimately secure appointments or next steps by simulating a cold calling scenario.

Sales reps can practice persuasive responses by preparing role-play scenarios that focus on objection handling. They will learn to anticipate objections and listen with empathy. By rehearsing objection handling techniques, reps can become adept at addressing concerns, alleviating doubts, and turning objections into opportunities.Negotiation: Negotiation is a crucial skill for sales professionals when it comes to reaching mutually beneficial agreements with customers.

They can also build rapport with customers to help facilitate a successful deal closing. Sales Meetings: Sales meeting are crucial moments to advance the sales process and to develop relationships. Reps can improve their communication skills by role-playing. They can also develop active listening and ask effective questions to better un...

Weekend Box Office Results: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Whips Up $60 Million Opening The box office just had its first billion-dollar month since July of last year. Not even the combined strength of Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion was enough to get last June to that total. But now the sixth month has achieved the goal for the first time since 2019, before the pandemic took hold.

A film... The box office just had its first billion-dollar month since July of last year. Not even the combined strength of Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion was enough to get last June to that total. But now the sixth month has achieved the goal for the first time since 2019, before the pandemic took hold. June 2023 has produced what is likely to be the biggest film of the summer (unless Mission: Impossible does gangbusters) and two of the biggest studio bombs of the year (each giving roughly half of their $100+ million grosses to the theaters.) A film that will unfortunately join that latter club (with a big tent this summer) is the final Indiana Jones adventure, which will outgross many of the films this summer but not enough to cover the expensive price tag it took to make it. King of the Crop: Indiana Jones Whips Up a $60 Million Opening When Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981, it had the third-biggest opening of the year ($8.3 million) behind Superman II ($14.1 million) and The Cannonball Run ($11.7 million). It ultimately nearly doubled the gross of the Man of Steel and nearly tripled Reynolds and Co. When Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom opened in 1984, its PG rating may have horrified parents, but it had the biggest opening of all-time ($25.3 million), besting the previous year’s Return of the Jedi ($23 million). It was the third highest-grossing film of the year behind Beverly Hills Cop and Ghostbusters, and its opening record held for three years until Beverly Hills Cop II hit $26.3 million in May of 1987. Two years later, that record would fall to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which started with $29.3 million, and that was with it opening on a Wednesday. That record would fall to Ghostbusters II ($29.4 million) three weeks later and then further with Tim Burton’s Batman ($40.4 million) a week later. By 2008, there had been only nine films to tally $100 million openings, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still managed to join the club and become the tenth film to pull it off. (The Dark Knight would leave them all in the dust later that summer with a $158.4 million start.) Despite Crystal Skull‘s divisive reputation, it was one of only three films to gross over $300 million that year (Iron Man outgrossed it by about $1.3 million), and at 77% on the Tomatometer, was the seventh best-reviewed film of that summer. Despite early pans out of Cannes this year, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny came into this weekend at 67% with critics, $60 million with audiences in North America, another $70 million internationally, and a $295 million bill for the studio. As late June releases go, Dial of Destiny mustered up the fifth-best live-action opening ever. Spielberg’s War of the Worlds opened to $64.8 million in this slot back in 2005, though projections have Dial of Destiny around $80-85 million through the July 4 holiday, which would already put it $15-20 million off the pace of Worlds. That still gives it some hope for a $200+ million finish. The problem is that the film finds itself in similar Fast X territory with that enormous budget, and it appeared doomed from the get-go unless it managed to pull off some kind of Top Gun: Maverick feat. It’s been 15 years since the last film, which has lived on in infamy, and the Cannes reviews helped put a black mark on it. Reviews since then have been mostly kinder, and audiences do seem to be enjoying it more. It received a B+ on Cinemascore (up from Crystal Skull’s B), even though that is still not the A of The Last Crusade. The numbers will look better for theaters as it quickly becomes the fourth highest-grossing film of the summer, even if it will get knocked back just as quickly by Mission: Impossible and Barbie. However, it’s important to consider for a moment just how man...

More photos of the "Scottish Coronation" held on Wednesday, 5th July. The Scottish Crown Jewels, King Charles, Queen Camilla and William and Kate attended a church service at Edinburgh. It was always planned to be part Scotland's Royal Week aka Holyrood Week.

It's amazing that the Scots understood yesterday what Charles was trying and protested against his royal arse. Big time. Republic held another massive demonstration, but unlike the Chubbly protest in May, this time the police did not shut it down. While protesters were chanting or holding signs, no arrests were made. Two people were arrested because they broke through the barriers. When Charles and Camilla arrived at St. Giles' Cathedral, the "Not My King' chants could be heard over the bagpipes and band playing.

Dune: Part Two: Release Date, Trailers, Cast & More It finally happened. After one feature film adaptation and many attempts to turn Frank Herbert’s Dune into a critical and financial success, director Denis Villeneuve, Legendary, and Warner Bros. Picture did just that with 2021’s Dune . The film wowed people with its vision of the distant future and Villeneuve’s smart subtractions from the text made it more accessible than ever before.

After one feature film adaptation and many attempts to turn Frank Herbert’s Dune into a critical and financial success, director Denis Villeneuve, Legendary, and Warner Bros. Picture did just that with 2021’s Dune . The film wowed people with its vision of the distant future and Villeneuve’s smart subtractions from the text made it more accessible than ever before. And since those subtractions included half the novel, it also meant a natural sequel would be available. Once Dune was a success, the studio wasted no time revealing Dune: Part Two was on its way. But where do you go with the journey of Paul Atriedes (Timothée Chalamet) next? And will it lead to a conclusion or another chapter in the Dune saga. While fans of Herbert’s work have some inkling of the future, let’s assemble what we know about Dune: Part Two to see if we can’t obtain some of Paul’s prescient vision on the matter. The Path Of Dune: Part Two (Photo by 2023 Warner Bros. Entertainment) Considering where Dune ends — Chani (Zendaya) literally saying “this is only the beginning” — Dune: Part Two will use the latter half of Herbert’s first Dune novel as its roadmap. In the book, Paul not only trains with his adoptive Fremen compatriots, but he and his mother train them in the Bene Gesserit form of combat known as the Weirding Way. At the same time, the Fremen begin to revere Paul as their prophesied messiah; Lady Jessica is not only aware of this because her order planted the myth among the Fremen, but she distrusts it, as it could lead Paul down a destructive path. Paul himself is also worried about that Path, as he has seen it in his prescient dreams, even as he accepts certain parts of that future, like adopting the name “Maud’Dib.” Elsewhere in the universe, Baron Vladamir Harkonnen continues to groom his nephew, Feyd-Rautha, to eventually take his place and — if he’s played all his pieces correctly — sit the Lion Throne of the Padishah Emperors. This zeal is tempered, though, by the suspicion that Feyd is already conspiring to have the Baron killed. And, as it happens, Feyd is important to the Bene Gesserit, who are still looking to manufacture the Kwisatz Haderach after the apparent loss of the Atreides bloodline. Eventually, though, everything leads back to Arrakis, where Emperor Shaddam IV sets his sights once Spice production grinds to a halt. But his arrival there may lead to a drastic change in the Imperium. The Worlds Of The Sequel (Photo by Warner Bros. Entertainment) The setting of Dune: Part Two will remain consistent for the most part. Much of the action still takes place on the desert planet Arrakis, source of the Spice Melange. But the book also spends a few scenes back on the Harkonnen world, Geidi Prime. Although appearing in earlier scenes, Feyd-Rautha’s big introduction occurs when he takes part in a gladiatorial challenge that may or may not be part of the plot to eventually kill the Baron. Since Geidi Prime made a few key appearances in the first film, we expect this scene will be adapted in some form. And though never glimpsed directly in the novel, the epigraphs beginning each chapter – attributed to Princess Irulan Corrino – may give Villeneuve the leeway to depict the Imperial throneworld of Kaitain. David Lynch realized the planet as an opulent world of gold and marble. Alejandro Jodorowsky planned to make Kaitain a literal planet of gold. And although we could see Villeneuve resisting the urge to realize his own take on the planet, it is always possible a few scenes could be set there to introduce the Emperor and his family. Returning To The Path (Photo by Warner Bros. Entertainment) In terms of returning cast, Chalamet, Rebecca Feguson, Zendaya, and Javier Bardem return as Paul, Jessica, Chani, and Stilgar. Their stories continue, as they unambiguously s...

What to Watch This Week: Indiana Jones, The Witcher, and More Nothing says action star like an archeology professor, at least if your first name is synonymous with The Hoosier State. Along with the final crusade of everyone’s favorite fedora-wearing hero, this week brings another season of a badass monster hunter, a new animated film from Dreamworks, the return of a martial arts-heavy period show, and a final mission for Jack Ryan — at least the current version of him, anyway. 68% Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Whipping its way into theaters is the action-adventure flick Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny .This marks the fifth... Nothing says action star like an archeology professor, at least if your first name is synonymous with The Hoosier State. Along with the final crusade of everyone’s favorite fedora-wearing hero, this week brings another season of a badass monster hunter, a new animated film from Dreamworks, the return of a martial arts-heavy period show, and a final mission for Jack Ryan — at least the current version of him, anyway. 68% Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Whipping its way into theaters is the action-adventure flick Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny .This marks the fifth and final film in the franchise, at least with Harrison Ford in the leading role, which is a great reason to check this one out. We’re talking movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark , Temple of Doom , The Last Crusade , and, you know, the one with the monkeys and the fridge. Another reason to give the leather jacket and fedora one final look is the epic cast, because along with Ford will be John Rhys-Davies and Karen Allen reprising their roles as Sallah and Marion Ravenwood from earlier films, as well as franchise newcomers like Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, and Mads Mikkelsen as the bad guy. On top of that, it’s worth noting that this Fresh film is the first and only one in the series not directed by Steven Spielberg and which doesn’t have a story by George Lucas. They are both credited as Executive Producers, and instead James Mangold directed and co-wrote the film. And that’s a good thing, considering he’s known for hit films like Walk the Line , Logan , and Ford v Ferrari . Where to Watch: In theaters 82% The Witcher: Season 3 (2023) Premiering on Netflix this week is the third season of the fantasy series The Witcher . After two memorable seasons as Geralt of Rivia, Henry Cavill’s run will come to an end with this two-part third season, making that the biggest reason to check it out. And FYI, Liam Hemsworth will take over the role moving forward. Critics were a little slow to come on board during the ultimately Fresh first season, but The Witcher settled in nicely with a second season Certified Fresh at 95% and a consensus that says the show remains “a whole lot of fun.” And if you’re still on the fence about entering this fantasy world, you should know that the show is based on a popular book and video game series, and it’s a vast world that has been explored further with an animated film and live-action miniseries spin-offs already released on Netflix. Where to Watch: Netflix 65% Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) Another option coming to theaters is the computer animated film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken . This coming-of-age comedy comes from Dreamworks, and if you’re looking for a good reason to see it, here’s seven instead: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Sam Richardson, Liza Koshy, Will Forte, and Jane Fonda — aka the film’s stellar ensemble cast. And yes, that’s Annie Murphy from the multiple Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek , and if you haven’t seen that either, you really need to check it out. Speaking of the cast, another reason to consider Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is that both Lana Condor and Liza Koshy actually began as YouTube influencers and are now working alongside Hollywood’s elite on the same project. It’s entertainment evolution at its finest. But if you’re looking for a more familiar connection to this project, perhaps we should tell you that one of the movie’s co-writers — Pam Brady — previously worked alongside Trey Parker and Matt Stone on their hit show South Park and their movie Team America: World Police . Where to Watch: In theaters 100% Warrior: Season 3 (2023) Also launching its third season this week is the popular series Warrior .This martial arts drama is coming off a 100% Fresh first season and Certified Fresh second; in other words...

Dogs and puppies are prone to intestinal parasites such as whipworms and roundworms. Fly larvae, such as mango worms or cuterebras (pronounced cuetuh RE-bra), infect skin. Roundworms Photo (c) Pongsak Tawansaeng Dreamstime.com Roundworms have a thin, light-tan color and are between four and fifteen centimeters in length (about one inch to six inches). They are usually about one millimeter to two millimeters (about 1/ 16 of an inch). The worm has a spear-shaped end and a lightly coiled other end. The entire roundworm becomes tightly coiled, like a serpent. The majority of adult dogs do not show any symptoms when infected by roundworm. Some adult dogs will vomit roundworms, or have them in their poop. Infected puppies will have a potbellied look and dull hair coat. The diarrhea may contain mucus. Infected puppies are more likely to vomit roundworms alive and have them in their poop than adult dogs. Whipworms Whipworms, which are white and very thin worms measuring between 4.5 centimeters and 7.5 centimeters (about 2 to 3-inches), are found in the tropics. The worm looks like a leather whip, similar to the ones used in Indiana Jones films. The worm’s thick handle is similar to a leather whip, while the thin lash is similar to a whip. Whipworms are not usually visible in dogs with a few whipworms. Infected dogs will usually show weight loss and diarrhea. Hookworms Hookworms can infest a dog’s intestines, but they can also be contracted through the skin of their feet. This can cause intense itching. Dreamstime.com Hookworms have an off-white color and are one to two centimeters in length (about half to 3/4 inch). They are 4 to 5 millimeters (about 1/8 inch) wide. The hook-like end of these worms is similar to a fishing hook. In most cases, dogs with a few hookworms present in the small intestine do not show symptoms of infection. Infected dogs may have tarry, dark stools. Untreated, these dogs can become anemic and lethargic. They may also lose weight. Anemia can be life-threatening in puppies with hookworm. These puppies can also appear thin and lethargic. Hookworm can also cause pododermatitis. Hookworm is commonly thought to be an intestinal parasite. Hookworm can enter the body of a dog through the underside webbing that runs between the toes. Hookworm can cause intense itching if it enters the skin. Tapeworms The tapeworm is a worm that can be anywhere between 15 and 70 centimeters (about 6 inches up to two feet) long. Proglottids are the part of the tapeworm most commonly seen in dog poop and on the skin surrounding the anus. They are a fragment of the mature worm which breaks off into the poop. The proglottids are small rice grains that may be found around the anus of a dog or on his fur. They also contain tapeworm egg. Infected dogs rarely display any signs of tapeworms. Dogs can scoot their butt on the floor if they have tapeworm proglottids. Worms in Dogs Whole Dog Journal

After a long wait, The Witcher returned to Netflix with a solid set of season 3 episodes and, thanks to breaking the season into two parts, a legit cliffhanger fans should be talking about for the next month. The remaining episodes debut on July 27. But that cliffhanger is not the only shock to be experienced in the quintet of season 3 episodes so far. Finally catching up to one of the great twists in author Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel series, the TV show also deployed some departures from the books that may prove controversial — they’ve certainly lit a fire on Reddit and social media platforms — and its most Netflix episode ever with the Conclave Ball in the part one finale, “The Art of the Illusion.” The Witcher cast members, including Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, and Joey Batey, spoke with Rotten Tomatoes about a few of the latest developments, the ball, and what might be waiting the characters in the near future. Spoiler alert: The following contains spoilers from the episodes included in Vol. 1 of The Witcher season 3. Stop reading here if you have not watched part 1 of the season and wish to avoid spoilers. The Advantage of Neutrality (Or Lack Thereof) Henry Cavill in a character poster for The Witcher season 3 While there is a big departure from Sapkowski’s third full Witcher novel, Time of Contempt, we’ll be talking about in a moment, season 3 is faithful in one key way: the discussion of Geralt’s (Henry Cavill) neutrality. The power players on the Continent are all converging on Ciri’s (Allan) whereabouts and despite the Witcher’s belief that his stated neutrality will keep him alive, it’s clear choices will have to be made as The Witcher enters its political phase. Well, the politics of the Continent, anyway. According to Batey, that focus was established in the second season. “We’re introduced to a number of different characters in season two that expand upon the political world, and not least of which is Sigismund Dijkstra who is a huge fan-favorite character,” he explained. Graham McTavish and Cassie Clare (Photo by Susie Allnutt/Netflix) Dijkstra actor Graham McTavish said the push into a more direct political conflict was “inevitable” and “that’s what [Dijkstra and Philippa] have been plotting.” As viewers saw during the Conclave Ball, Dijkstra is even the person who puts the question of alliances directly to Geralt. But ever trying to evade committing himself to the affairs of state, the Witcher chooses nothing but to protect Ciri. Cassie Clare, who plays Redania-aligned mage Philippa, sees even that much as a change in Geralt’s posture and, potentially, a new flaw in the armor neutrality gave him. “I think he’s going to struggle more and more with that because he has so much now that he wants to live for,” she explained. While he was previously happy just to wander and kill monsters, “now he has this family, this chosen family, if you will, that he’s building. So anything that threatens that I think is going to force him to pick sides, if he wants to take care of his family.” Batey added, “I’ve been chomping at the bit to explore more of that. It’s a part of Sapkowski’s books that it’s just so intricately designed that I was excited to see it on the screen.” The Tricky Journey to Aretuza Henry Cavill, Freya Allan, and Anya Chalotra (Photo by Susie Allnutt/Netflix) Before the Conclave, though, Ciri and Yennefer (Chalotra) faced a tough road to reach Aretuza, both in terms of external threats and the still-frayed trust between them. As Chalotra put it, “it was always going to be a tricky journey.” “We begin to see the emotional part of this relationship come out a little more and they’re sent off on a journey together,” she said. “They really do have to depend on one another.” Of course, the willingness to trust one another comes with some brutal honesty and a number of moments where the s...

TAGGED AS: streaming, television, top TV, TV (Photo by National Geographic for Disney/Martin Mlaka) Updated June 28, 2023 Debate over TV’s best shows will rage eternal, but what we’ve found here at Rotten Tomatoes is that not every season of those “best” series are created equal. Some of the best series of all time ran long enough to see their season scores land all over the map, so we decided to collect the best of the best and rounded up the seasons with perfect 100% Tomatometer scores. They are listed below alphabetically by TV title. Some you know: The third and fourth seasons of AMC’s Breaking Bad — “I am the one who knocks” — starringBryan Cranston as one of TV’s iconic male antiheroes, Walter White. See also on this list: Mad Men’s Don Draper and Sons of Anarchy’sJax Teller. Others may be less familiar because they’re on premium cable or a streaming service that’s not as well known or they’re an international title like Back on AMC+ or Showtime’s Back To Life (no, the latter is not a sequel to the former). Some shows appear multiple times on the list: two Big Mouth andCounterpartseasons are on the list; Amazon Prime Video’s Catastropheand FX’s Justifiedscored three spots each; and Broad Cityhas the most withfour of its five seasons on our shortlist. Other recent series with multiple seasons in the 100% club: The Good Place, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,One Day at a Time, Veep,Fleabag, Jane the Virgin, and Feel Good. Only Murders in the Building season 1 has the most reviews on its perfect 100% score. The collective opinions of 106 critics puts it ahead of all other 100% seasons — the more critics’ opinions weighed, the more valuable that perfect score is. The next highest is Fleabag season 2 with 99, Yellowjackets season 1 and Hacks season 1 with 74 each, then Master of None season 1 and Insecure season 1 with 66 each. Lastly, while several 100% seasons might have enough reviews to be included on this list (for example, season 4 ofsci-fi fan-favorite The Expanse and season 5 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ), they don’t meet all of the Certified Fresh eligibility requirements— yet. We’ll keep watching them. Just Added: The Bear (season 2) Adjusted Score: 103451% Critics Consensus: It covers familiar ground, but with a feast of rare footage and a clear affection for its subject 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything is as edifying as it is entertaining. Starring: Adjusted Score: 102138% Critics Consensus: 24 defies the law of diminishing returns with a spectacular fifth season that features White House intrigue, some of the most harrowing set-pieces in the series yet, and a heroically committed performance by Kiefer Sutherland. Adjusted Score: 101697% Critics Consensus: Buoyed by its talented ensemble and smart, genial humor, Acapulco is as sweetly nostalgic as it is utterly charming. Adjusted Score: 101095% Critics Consensus: American Crime offers a unique anthology series filled with surprising revelations and compelling inter-connected narratives that opt for original, emotional human commentary instead of tired arguments over current events. Adjusted Score: 101746% Critics Consensus: Family-driven drama and psychological themes propel The Americans' tautly drawn tension, dispensing thrills of a different ilk this season. Adjusted Score: 101269% Critics Consensus: America to Me confronts hard questions through candid moments in a Chicago high school, crafting an exploration of race and class relations in America that is as insightful as it is inspiring. Starring: Adjusted Score: 102337% Critics Consensus: Arrested Development puts an ambitiously complex, brilliantly fast-paced spin on dysfunctional family comedy, anchored by the efforts of a tremendously talented ensemble. Adjusted Score: 101230% Critics Consensus: Babylon Berlin's humor and humanity pair nicely with its hypnotic visua...

TAGGED AS: movies, period drama, romance (Photo by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection) Unless you had tremendous recall of all the bit roles in American Grafitti or The Conversation, the first time the world at large set their eyes on Harrison Ford was in the little indie that could: Star Wars. With no previous acting reference points for most audiences, Ford WAS Han Solo, the glumly debonair and seductive space rogue who gave a dash of modern cynicism to Star Wars’ populist mysticism, singing aliens, and laser swords. Ford returned for The Empire Strikes Back, jumpstarting the best run of movies anybody had in the ’80s. None of his films this decade were Rotten, and nine of them are Certified Fresh — utter classics and masterpieces like Blade Runner, Return of the Jedi, and all three Indiana Jones movies. 1985’s Witness, in which Ford plays a steely detective protecting an Amish boy who’s seen a murder, garnered him his only Best Actor Academy Award nomination. Ford’s ’90s highlights include The Fugitive (another box office smash and a Best Picture nominee), taking on the CIA analyst Jack Ryan role created by Tom Clancy in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, and kicking off unruly passengers as the freaking President of the United States of America in Air Force One. After a 19-year absence from the big screen, he, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas brought Indy back for The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The movie would go on to be designated Certified Fresh by critics, though it’s no secret critical and audience appreciation for the movie remains weak. A fifth Indiana Jones is currently in early pre-production. Since them, Ford has gamely returned to the roles that made him famous: Han in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakensand Deckard in Blade Runner 2049. Both movies would also be Certified Fresh, the first time Ford would have two consecutive CF films since the ’80s. And now we’re taking a look back we rank all Harrison Ford movies by Tomatometer! —Alex Vo #1 Adjusted Score: 102101% Critics Consensus: Exhilarating and intense, this high-impact chase thriller is a model of taut and efficient formula filmmaking, and it features Harrison Ford at his frantic best. Synopsis: Wrongfully accused of murdering his wife, Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) escapes from the law in an attempt to find her... [More] #2 Adjusted Score: 102813% Critics Consensus: Dark, sinister, but ultimately even more involving than A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back defies viewer expectations and takes the series to heightened emotional levels. Synopsis: The adventure continues in this "Star Wars" sequel. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher)... [More] #3 Adjusted Score: 103448% Critics Consensus: Featuring bravura set pieces, sly humor, and white-knuckle action, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most consummately entertaining adventure pictures of all time.

News Critics and audiences come together to recommend 25 movies that defined the superhero genre! We’re celebrating 25 years of Rotten Tomatoes with a look back on the most celebrated genre movie of each year since 1998! Previously we took a stab at the horror genre, drew up an extensive guide to animation, hit light speed on science-fiction, and now we’re flying high with superheroes. To choose the best superhero film of each year, we’re applying our recommendation formula, a calculation based on the Tomatometer and Audience Score that prioritizes titles that stood out among critics and fans, combined with a pinch of curatorial love from our editors. Superhero and comic book movies may have been among the dominant pop cultural force for nearly two decades, but don’t forget it was something of an uphill skate to reach this point. We begin with 1998’s Blade, which is just a sword’s edge away from being Fresh, but audiences sure sank their teeth into it for its R-rating and sharp Wesley Snipes casting as the Marvel icon. Quirky and sarcastic comedies Mystery Men and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV would prevail on the off-years of 1999 and 2001, but it was 2000’s X-Men and 2002’s Spider-Man that would prophesy the superhero supremacy to come. X-Men modernized the team with sleek outfits and millennial attitude, while Spider-Man stuck to its comic book roots with bright action and teenage emotions in a classic origin story. 2003’s X2 was a breathless, action-packed sequel, while 2004’s The Incredibles is one of the crown jewels from Pixar’s golden age, a high-stakes family drama and still the closest thing to a good Fantastic Four movie we’ve ever gotten. DC Comics would swoop in with 2005 and 2006 chart-toppers Batman Begins and V for Vendetta, proffering a more mature and adult take on the genre, and certainly more appetizing than 2007’s Spider-Man 3. 2008, of course, was the big bang, with The Dark Knight becoming the new benchmark in action and superhero cinema and Iron Man properly establishing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Watchmen was long considered nearly impossible to adapt, and hey, we got close enough in 2009. 2010’s Kick-Ass put the sass back in the genre, and 2011’s X-Men: First Class rebooted the series after the wayward X-Men: The Last Stand. With 2012’s The Avengers, we kick off peak MCU as one of their own would top each year (Iron Man 3, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and Captain America: Civil War) through the record-breaking Infinty Saga-closer Avengers: Endgame. Even the years when an MCU wasn’t the favorite, there was still a Marvel movie in its place, with 2017’s Logan and 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. 2020’s Birds of Prey was one of the last major movies before COVID lockdown, and it was Spider-Man: No Way Home in December 2021 when we felt truly back in theaters. Soon after, in March 2022, we returned again to a mature take on The Batman, which would narrowly edge out Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to be that year’s best superhero movie. #1 Adjusted Score: 62044% Critics Consensus: Though some may find the plot a bit lacking, Blade's action is fierce, plentiful, and appropriately stylish for a comic book adaptation. Synopsis: A half-mortal, half-immortal is out to avenge his mother's death and rid the world of vampires. The modern-day technologically advanced... [More] #2 Adjusted Score: 63911% Critics Consensus: Absurd characters and quirky gags are brought to life by a talented cast, providing this superhero spoof with lots of laughs. Synopsis: Champion City already has a superhero, the appropriately named Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), but that doesn't deter the city's seven...

[Updated June 13, 2023] Since Marvel Studios present Kevin Feige first introduced the notion of Phases to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, their purpose and length have always been mysterious. Sometimes, he even reconsiders where they begin and end after the fact. But with Marvel Studios’ presentation at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2022, the exact length and purpose of Phases Four, Five, and Six were revealed during a presentation notable for just how much information the often evasive Feige was willing to offer. For one thing, the three phases form the next Marvel epic: The Multiverse Saga. And like The Infinity Saga before it, it will build from a phase of character introductions (the recently concluded Phase Four) to something full of war, dynasties, and secrets. Of course, the introductions are far from ending. Also, on the horizon is the arrival of the anti-hero team known as the Thunderbolts and, of course, Marvel’s first family, the Fantastic Four. And as we have for the last few years, we’re keeping track of it all in this comprehensive guide of every upcoming Marvel Studios film (and television show) with a handy calendar of the studio’s projects through 2026 (and beyond). As always, we will continue to update this page frequently as new details emerge.And be careful: There are spoilers ahead.(Want to see what the other camp is up to? Check out our full breakdown ofupcoming DC movies.) As Feige revealed at SDCC 2022, Phase 5 opens with an Ant-Man movie and closes with a team-up movie — but not the team you would expect. The phase also features a lot of sequels and the first Season 2 in their Disney+ television series initiative. And considering how it begins, we imagine the purpose of the Phase will be to set up the overall nemesis — Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) — even as it further re-establishes Daredevil in the MCU proper and sheds light on other corners of the vast Multiverse. Secret Invasion: Season 1 (2023) Premiere Date: June 21, 2023 What We Know: Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) will deal with a sect of ill-intentioned Skrulls hiding on Earth and infiltrating “every level of life” on the planet. Word of the series first broke in September of 2020 as an unspecified Nick Fury project, but calling it Secret Invasion leads to something very pointed as Feige ultimately referred to the original Secret Invasion comic book event series as “the biggest” since Civil War. Kyle Bradstreet serves as the program’s head writer. In April of 2021, news broke indicating both The Crown’s Olivia Colman and Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke would be joining the cast. As both played royalty in other prestige series, speculation on their parts immediately centered on Skrull Empress Veranke, the main antagonist of the Secret Invasion comic book storyline. They’ve since been confirmed to be playing an unnamed MI6 agent and Talos’s daughter G’iah, respectively. In May of 2021, Thomas Bezucha and Ali Selim signed on to direct the series. Later in the month, Christopher McDonald joined the series in a role said to be original for the program, but with the potential to cross over into other aspects of the MCU. Production began in November 2021 with the subsequent Disney+ Day video revealing a brief glimpse of a grizzled and visibly older Fury alongside a decidedly more Skrull-like title card. The six-episode series wrapped production in April 2022. Soon after, Martin Freeman confirmed his character, Everett K. Ross, will also appear. Other actors appearing in the series include Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik, leader of the Skrull splinter cell, Carmen Ejogo and Killian Scott. During Marvel’s SDCC 2022 presentation, Smulders appeared on stage and referred to the program as “a dark...
