On the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Zendaya felt like the mother leaving her child in kindergarten on the first day of school. Only her son was Tom Holland. Zendaya reveals a particular Spider-Man: No Way Home moment where she felt like she was Tom Holland’s mom

The hottest couple of the moment – both on-screen and in real life – formed by Tom Holland and Zendaya are holding court almost everywhere, from promotional interviews for Spider-Man: No Way Home to gossip sites. And every time they open their mouths they reveal more tender and adorable details about their relationship – both business and private – that make fans fall in love with them even more while detractors put up with them less and less.

This time it was Zendaya’s turn, who in the course of an interview with Marvel Entertainment told of a particular moment in the making of Spider-Man: No Way Home in which she felt no longer Tom Holland’s partner, but even a mother.

The episode reported by Zendaya concerns one of the first days of work on the set and in particular the moment in which Tom Holland met the other two Spider-Man – Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield – and did the first rehearsal with them. Here are Zendaya’s words:

“It was fun, that first day, I was nervous for you [Tom Holland]. Because we had to give it a try and Jacob and I [Batalon, the Ned in the movie] felt like we were your parents and we left you in kindergarten for the first day of school. We were like: ‘Ah, I hope you like the other children’ or ‘I hope you don’t come home crying’. We went there and I took pictures of you three [Holland, Maguire, and Garfield] so you could have them. It was nice”.

Several times in the course of various interviews, Tom Holland himself has spoken of the relationship that has been established both on and off the set between him and the other two interpreters of Spider-Man. Jokingly (but it is not clear to what extent) he even admitted that he had created a group chats with the two on WhatsApp, in which, however, he is the only one to write.

Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, Dave Bautista: ''With this film, we come full circle''

Dave Bautista, the interpreter of Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, argues that “all things must come to an end”

Already James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, a few days ago had evoked in the course of an interview a sense of definitive ending around the third chapter of the saga, claiming (or threatening) that fans would see for the last time that team of Guardians.

Now it’s the turn of Dave Bautista, the strong interpreter of Drax the Destroyer, who expressed himself in a very similar way during a chat for the ComicBook podcast “Phase Zero“. Here are his words.

“It’s our third film, we’ll stop it. It was a nice trip with some bumps. I can not wait. The cast and of course the director, James Gunn, are like family to me. With these films, my acting career practically began. A circle is about to come full circle and I can’t wait to do it. It’s a bittersweet feeling. I mean, I’ve been working on the Guardians since 2013. And when [the third chapter] comes out it’s going to be 2023, so it’s a 10-year journey. You know, all things have to come to an end. And I can’t wait to do it alongside my friends and family “.

A few months ago Dave Bautista had stated that with the third chapter of the Guardians of the Galaxy he would have abandoned the role of Drax (also thanks to a no longer very young age), but that the character could have been played by another actor. A possibility that director James Gunn himself had firmly opposed, arguing that no one could replace Bautista.

Of course, before the film arrives in theaters (the release is scheduled for May 2023), fans will be able to see Drax the Destroyer both in Thor: Love and Thunder – which will be released this year, on July 8 – and in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, due out on Disney + later this year.

The Hand of God, Robert De Niro praises Sorrentino: ''Full of wonderful things''

Robert De Niro

Legendary Hollywood actor Robert De Niro wrote a moving letter to director Paolo Sorrentino to praise It Was God’s Hand

The film, in contention for the Oscar, reached international audiences like all Sorrentino’s productions. It was the hand of God, one of the Neapolitan artist’s most personal masterpieces, which did not win the Golden Globe but received global acclaim, once again launching Italian cinema at the center of contemporary culture. Some Hollywood stars liked the film so much that it resulted in a real correspondence with Sorrentino himself.

We are talking, for example, of the letter received by the Neapolitan director from one of the greatest living actors: the great Robert De Niro. De Niro was absolutely dazzled by It Was the Hand of God and couldn’t stop himself from complimenting his creator personally. The letter, however, thanks to Deadline magazine, has become a real review, a public endorsement among artists. Here is what Robert De Niro wrote about It was the hand of God:

“” I have only been to Naples a few times – writes Robert De Niro – but for me, this film is decidedly Neapolitan in the way that many of Martin Scorsese’s (Wolf of Wall Street, Bringing Out the Dead, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, etc.) like many other Woody Allen films (Annie Hall, Broadway Danny Rose, Manhattan, etc.) seem to capture the essence of New York City. Naples reminds me in many ways of the Italian-American New York that I love ”.

De Niro continued, writing:

“Despite the tragedy that is at the heart of the film, ‘It was God’s hand’ is full of fun. Scenes such as the extended family’s outdoor lunch and the subsequent boat trip are incredibly fascinating and fun. And if the central story sees Fabietto torn from his precarious youth and dragged into adulthood too quickly, the stories one encounters along the way are priceless. For example, there is Armà, the cigarette smuggler / violent hooligan / sympathetic friend and finally imprisoned. A bizarre character, yes, but in my opinion absolutely credible due to my experiences in New York as a child. And there is Capuano “.

Willem Dafoe and that overly expressive face: 'It's not nice to be compared to a sociopath'

Willem Dafoe quotes Jessica Rabbit, with some tricks for her case: “I’m not a sociopathic criminal, they draw me like that!”

Actor Willem Dafoe, in a state of grace after returning as Norman Osborne / Green Goblin in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ made his debut on Saturday Night Live

After twenty years of an honored career, even veteran actor Willem Dafoe has finally had the pleasure and honor of presenting an episode of the famous show, a symbol of American comedy, Saturday Night Live. Dafoe led the episode, including hilarious gags and surreal comic sketches, together with singer Katy Perry.

A duo as weird as it is brilliant, they gave the public a series of goodies that will accompany pop culture for a while. Not surprisingly, Willem gave fans a really funny, but also brilliant, a monologue on his famous (and sometimes infamous) acting.

Willem Dafoe, in fact, could not refrain from talking about a topic that has accompanied him for about ten years: fan casting in the role of the villain DC Joker. Dafoe, in his monologue, touched all the most delicate points and the painful points of his long career, confirming to fans that he really has a lot of personalities.

“I find it really nice to be back in New York,” the actor began. “I moved here when I was 21, I had no money and rented an apartment on 10th Avenue for $ 200 a month.” He then continued underlining: “And it is in this city that I later learned to act. For example, I was very good at pretending that I liked having a bathtub in the kitchen! “

Willem Dafoe’s speech finally touched, with extreme irony, his film career: “Many have criticized me for having exaggerated acting. But it’s not my fault that I have a very expressive face. I can’t control it, I don’t have minimal acting like Nicholas Cage or Al Pacino “.

The monologue, in fact, ended up on a topic that, clearly, the actor was particularly keen to quote: “Not surprisingly, people often approach me, saying: ‘Do you know which role you would be perfect for? For that of the Joker! It’s very nice to be told that you look like a sociopath! “

Watch here the entire monologue by Willem Dafoe to SNL:

Benedict Cumberbatch defends Doctor Strange from Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Master of the Mystic Arts seemed to be acting very out of character, which inevitably led to him being identified as the Phase Four 438 candidate only to ultimately be revealed as Mephisto in disguise. Of course, that line of inquiry was drawn a blank once again, but there’s no denying that Strange wasn’t the same as always.

Doing a favor for a teenager who ended up tearing apart the very fabric of reality and allowing the multiverse to open up a bit more was not in keeping with the Sorcerer Supreme’s duties as the man charged with keeping such things in check, but Cumberbatch asserted in an interview with Variety that he did it all in the name of love.

“Having those three films culminating at that moment was an extraordinary thing to be a part of. And letting my character make some serious mistakes out of love, actually, out of generosity towards someone who he realizes really cares.”

Cumberbatch was one of the most sought-after names in the Spider-Man: No Way Home cast, but his actual contributions to the plot made him more of a cipher than a genuine supporting character, especially when he disappeared for a large part. weather. runtime, only to conveniently appear at the last moment during the third act’s climactic action sequence.
