The New York native then assured fans, ‘Within the next few days, I hope to update our schedule with a new date that I can give you 100% of myself & nothing less.’

After it was announced that Henry Cavill would no longer be Superman, Marvel Studios hasn’t missed the opportunity to bring him to their side. Apparently, he will bring to life one of the characters in Deadpool 3.

After many months of speculation about Deadpool 3 and which actors would be part of the cast, some names have slowly been revealed (or leaked). The latest of these has been Henry Cavill.

The iconic actor who portrayed Superman in DC could have joined Marvel for the third and final installment of Ryan Reynolds‘ comedic superhero. This time, the movie will be titled Deadpool & Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman will once again bring his character to life, which he has portrayed for multiple years in various productions. According to Giant Freakin’ Robot, the star of Argylle will join the MCU as a variant…

Henry Cavill to play a Wolverine variant in Deadpool

Indeed, Henry Cavill will not only join the MCU but will also bring to life one of the Wolverine variants in the third movie of Deadpool. Although his cameo has not yet been confirmed by him, it is known that the cast will be stellar, so it wouldn’t be far-fetched.

The Superman actor would portray a different version of Logan. Giant Freakin’ Robot confirmed the news and provided some details about his involvement, stating that the star will wear “a long brown coat” in his scenes. While it might seem like just a colorful detail, it suggests it could be true.

If the former DC member has indeed accepted the role of this new character, it would mark his grand debut alongside Marvel Studios. It’s a smart move by the company as, since the end of the Infinity Saga, they’ve been seeking ways to reconnect with the audience and regain their shine.

Several insiders have confirmed that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman won’t be the only big figures in the cast, quite the opposite. Many celebrities have agreed to cameos, and others even have supporting roles, promising a wide variety of talent.

Anyway, until Cavill confirms his presence or any of the sources close to the project directed by Shawn Levy, which follows the X-Force, we’ll have to wait for its grand premiere, scheduled for July 26, 2024.

Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori stunned onlookers as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday wearing a racy look inspired by his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The Yeezy employee, 29, and the rapper, 46 — who is behind Bianca’s X-rated makeover — were spotted exiting a building together in West Hollywood.

She had on a metallic silver micro miniskirt and thong underwear that exposed her bare butt cheeks as well as a busty triangle bikini top.

Bianca’s outfit looked straight out of Kim’s closet.

Kim, 43, is an avid wearer of silver bikinis and her clothing brand SKIMS famously released a metallic swimwear line in the summer of 2022.

Bianca did not have a purse with her but she did keep her iPhone in hand.

She led the way out of the LA office building as Kanye trailed behind her.

In contrast to his wife, the hitmaker was bundled up in a baggy all-black outfit.

He had on a long-sleeve top, oversized joggers, Yeezy boots and sunglasses.

The couple — who wed in December 2022 — slipped into the backseat of a chauffeured SUV and made their way to a new destination.

They grabbed ice-cream at a local ice-cream shop and Bianca emerged with a cone.

Kanye and Bianca ended their errands with a stop at a tanning salon on Melrose Avenue.

The day prior, Bianca shocked diners at a local Cheesecake Factory restaurant by wearing a see-through, neon green tights and a beige tube top to lunch.

Earlier that same day, Kanye was seen pulling down the model’s tights after he wrapped a meeting in Beverly Hills.

Kanye has been parading Bianca around in the world in X-rated looks after secretly tying the knot in December 2022 — just weeks after he finalized his divorce from Kim.

She shocked last month by wearing sheer stockings for pants in Paris after going nude under a see-through raincoat in LA.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that Bianca’s parents are ‘mortified’ at seeing their daughter in racy looks and that they just seems to be ‘getting worse and worse.’

‘Her parents are so distressed over this because they do not recognize her. She would not be doing this unless she was being controlled,’ the insider said.

Some of her loved ones even reportedly staged an intervention with Bianca over West’s alleged ‘controlling ways’.

Just last week Bianca’s mother Alexandra reportedly flew out from their native Australia to Los Angeles in the hopes of ‘saving’ her daughter, according to sources close to the family.

A source told DailyMail.com that Alexandra is taking time ‘to see for herself’ if Bianca really does have everything ‘under control’ as she claims.

‘This has been a wonderful opportunity for Alexandra to get to spend time with Bianca and assess the situation for herself.’

Her fears have reportedly been eased during this time with Bianca and West as an insider claimed the rapper ‘knows how to sweet talk a mom’.

‘Right now is a pivotal time and Alexandra was low-key believing she would come to save her daughter,’ the source said.

‘But this is not the case. Kanye has started to turn things around since the release of [his new album] Vultures in the sense that he is not going off on as many unhinged rants.

‘He also knows how to sweet talk a mom,’ the source added. ‘This has been really a good experience, and everyone is so relieved to see her with Alexandra.’

The insider claimed that a desire to be involved in the lives of any future grandchildren may also be a driving force.

Recently, insiders claimed to DailyMail.com that Bianca’s father Leo is keen on confronting the rapper over his daughter’s X-rated makeover and how he’s paraded her around like a ‘trophy pony.’

‘Leo honestly wants to just sit Kanye down to let him know that he is hurting her family by turning his beloved daughter into a trashy-looking marketable commodity,’ they said.

‘No man should ever encourage the woman that he loves to walk out in public and present herself like this. That isn’t love. That is control.’

Bianca’s family have also questioned how Kanye would feel in the future if a man was treating his daughters with Kim Kardashian in the same way.

‘He knows that there is no way in hell that Kanye would allow this for his daughters so it makes no sense why he would encourage this for his own wife.’

As for Bianca’s relationship with Kim, a source previously told DailyMail.com exclusively that the pair are ‘amicable’ but that Kim has taken issue with Bianca dressing provocatively in front of her and Kanye’s four children.

The exes share North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four.

Kim allegedly warned Kanye to tell Bianca to ‘cover up’ around the kids, which the 29-year-old brunette has seemingly obliged.

‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,’ a source dished. ‘She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.’

Last week, Kim was spotted with Bianca along with her kids Chicago and Psalm in the audience during Kanye’s Vultures listening party in San Francisco.

It marked the first time that the women were photographed together.

Sources told DailyMail.com that Kim’s appearance was part of a ‘concerted effort’ by the reality star to put on a ‘united front’ with her ex-husband and his new wife.

A clip of Bianca and Kim standing side-by-side at the event went viral on social media, with fans wondering ‘what’ the women could have been speaking about.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson was announced to have been “formally offered” the role as the next James Bond – which has left Henry Cavill fans furious with the snub.

It was revealed last night that the Marvel star is expected to accept the role as 007 and take over from Daniel Craig who has been at the helm for 15 years.

According to The Sun, a source claimed: “Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.

“As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”

For months, fans of James Bond had been theorising as to who would step into the role and names such as Leo Woodall, Idris Elba, Barry Keoghan, Cillian Murphey, Paul Mescal and Cavill were in the mix.

After the announcement was made, fans of Cavill – who has starred in Man of Steel, Justice League, and Mission Impossible: Fallout – were let furious he was “snubbed” of the role.

Henry Cavill previously took on the role of Superman DC/WARNER BROS

Taking to their social media accounts, one fan fumed: “There are so many better options for James Bond than Aaron Taylor Johnson.

“Henry Cavill and Richard Madden would crush the role easily. John Boyega could be amazing if given the chance. What’s Aaron Taylor Johnson’s best role? Kickass? Quicksilver? That’s awful man.”

“HENRY CAVILL WAS RIGHT HERE,” another exclaimed as a third noted: “Um, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Henry Golding, Dan Stevens, and Richard Armitage were right there!!”

One user explained: “I like him as an actor. Just don’t see him as Bond. Henry Cavill is right there damn!”

However, not all fans of Bond were left unhappy with the choice, as one praised: “People crying for Henry Cavill and Idris Elba.

“The former has limited range. The latter is ancient. They have cooked so hard with this casting.”

Chris Evans picked his MCU co-star as the man for the next 007

The debate for who should play the next James Bond, now that Daniel Craig has moved on, has taken on a new life. MGM is yet to reveal who will be taking up the mantle of 007, with various factions in the industry championing their heirs to the GoldenEye throne. While there have been a lot of fans who would love to see Henry Cavill play the role, Chris Evans has come up with his own choice for who he would like to see as James Bond in the future.

Speaking to WIRED with his Knives Out co-star Ana de Armas, Chris Evans brought up who he would like to see as the next James Bond, while Ana de Armas was answering a question about her being a Bong girl. de Armas also provided her choice for the role of 007 while the discussion was on.

Speaking to WIRED for an auto-complete interview, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas talked about a myriad of subjects, however, while discussing de Armas’ status as a Bond girl, the conversation drifted towards who they would like to see as the next Bond, given that Daniel Craig has decided to step away from the franchise.

When asked by one of the crew about thier choices for Bond, Evans replied with the name of his Avengers: Age of Ultron co-star, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, saying “I am a big Aaron Taylor-Johnson guy”. Taylor-Johnson has been rumored to be in the running to play Bond for quite some time. The actor would be starring in the upcoming Sony film Kraven the Hunter as the titular Spider-Man villain, which would be connected to Sony’s Universe of Spider-Man characters.

Ana de Armas, who has starred in the Bond franchise in No Time To Die, also spoke about who she would like to see as James Bond. The actress made it known during the interview that she thinks Paul Mescal would be great as the next Bond. Replying to the same question as Evans did, the actress said: “I think Paul Mescal should be the one,” a sentiment that Evans agreed as being a good choice.

There has been a lot of speculation about who should play James Bond, with the conversation ranging from why it needs to be played by a White actor, to why it needs to be a man at all. However, emerging from these conversations, MGM seems to be sticking to its roots, with the coming months sure to reveal who the next James Bond is, which would no doubt be the domain of a white, male actor, as has been the case with the character so long.

The Beatles Were Praised For This Song, But Dolly Parton Made It Even More Famous

Dolly Parton borrowed a song from The Beatles when it was already a hit, and it got even better.

Highlights

Dolly Parton’s upcoming album, Rockstar, is generating excitement as she aims to become a rock star in addition to her country music success.
The inclusion of The Beatles’ classic song “Let It Be” on the album was a complicated decision, but Dolly was able to involve Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
Dolly has always loved The Beatles and their music, with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” being a song that deeply resonated with her. She also included a cover of “Help!” on a previous album.

Fans are understandably excited about Dolly Parton‘s upcoming album, Rockstar, which is due to be released later this year to show her ambition to become a great rock star in addition to her accomplishments as one of the greatest country music stars.

The most exciting part? Teaming up with the likes of The Beatles to cover some of their most epic songs.

However, the story behind how the country music legend decided to include the classic “Let It Be” in her album is more complicated than fans would guess, much like many other things about the star’s life, such as her husband’s dislike of her music despite their sixty-year-long marriage.

What Song Did Dolly Parton Do With The Beatles?

While the song that will appear on Dolly Parton’s Rockstar album features both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr (in addition to Mick Fleetwood and Peter Frampton of Fleetwood Mac fame), Dolly didn’t originally plan to involve the two surviving members of The Beatles in recording it.

“Let It Be” was first released by The Beatles in 1970 and is also the name of the album in which it was included. Fans loved it, and it became one of the best-known Beatles songs of the band’s illustrious career.

One of those fans was Dolly Parton, who had wanted to record a cover with Paul McCartney for a long time after first hearing the song inspired by his dream of his mother.

However, as she was recording songs for her upcoming album, she went ahead and recorded her own version of it. After recording her own version, she finally reached out to Paul McCartney to ask if he wanted to contribute. After he agreed, she thought Ringo Starr would also like to participate.

“I’ve always loved that song. I recorded the song without them, and then thought, ‘Wow. Wouldn’t it be great if Paul McCartney would agree to play piano and sing on it?!’ And then I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be even greater to have Ringo Starr play on that track?” Dolly said.

Dolly was happy when both men agreed, and she got her “all-star song,” saying, “The whole idea of having Paul, who I’ve loved through the years, and just having them on it […] I was excited to death.”

Dolly Has Always Loved The Beatles

Dolly Parton didn’t always have an eclectic taste in music. The “Jolene” singer grew up in rural Tennessee and her main inspirations as a young artist were gospel and country music. She loved rock and roll, but it wasn’t her favorite musical genre.

However, this changed the first time she heard “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles. Dolly Parton became obsessed with the song, particularly because she felt it applied to her life.

Dolly said that the song reminded her of her first kiss because she had begun “to date a little bit” when she first heard it.

“I loved all kinds of songs, and I grew up singin’ all sorts of songs, but the first time I ever remember totally being jarred and feelin’ all kinds of emotions was when that song came out,” she added.

“I Want to Hold Your Hand” was not the only song by the iconic band that left Dolly Parton feeling jarred. She has been a loyal fan of The Beatles over the years and showed her devotion by including a cover of another one of their songs, “Help!”, on her Great Balls of Fire album in 1979.

“Let It Be” Is One Of The Beatles’ Most Iconic Songs

Because of the catchy tune and thoughtful lyrics, “Let It Be” became an instant hit and rose to the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 after its release.

Paul McCartney, who wrote the song himself, despite also crediting John Lennon, was inspired by a dream in which he was visited by his mother, who had died, to reassure him of her love and tell him to “let it be.”

He recalled his experience in his book, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, writing: “In this dream, seeing my mum’s beautiful, kind face and being with her in a peaceful place was very comforting.”

The message of peace and acceptance that everything will turn out all right that the song promotes was exactly what fans needed amid the turmoil of the Vietnam War in the 1970s. It was not a coincidence that they loved the song and that it remains one of the most beloved songs of The Beatles.
