Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy has addressed rumours that Taylor Swift could appear in the film.

The singer has been at the centre of speculation over a potential surprise appearance in the upcoming Marvel film as superhero Dazzler.

However, when asked by Entertainment Tonight about the rumours, Levy replied: “That is hardly confirmed nor denied in this interview. I’m going to literally walk out of the frame and save myself, otherwise Ryan [Reynolds]’s taking a hit [out] on me.”

Speaking about his own attendance of a game to support Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce last year, which helped fuel speculation, the director said: “All that’s known is that I went to a football game, and those hours were well-documented and that’s all I’m gonna say. What can I say? I think intrigue is fun.”

This isn’t the first time Levy has spoken about the rumours, with the director asked about his attendance at the game last October by TheWrap.

“They sure are loud,” he said. “I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”

Reynolds himself addressed speculation back in November 2022, saying that Swift was not part of the cast, though he’d be open to her appearing.

“Are you kidding me?” he told Entertainment Tonight. “I would do anything for that woman. She’s a genius.”

Touching upon the intriguing use of the same house the singer used in her ‘All Too Well’ short film in Deadpool & Wolverine promo, the star added: “If we shoot the next Deadpool film in our house, then that would be that location.”

Deadpool & Wolverine will be the third film in the Deadpool franchise, and will see Hugh Jackman reprise his role as Wolverine.

In other news, Swift has shared her reaction to Ryan Gosling‘s reworked version of ‘All Too Well’ alongside Emily Blunt during his Saturday Night Live monologue over the weekend, in which he themed the song around his Barbie character Ken and her Oppenheimer role Kitty.

“All Too Well (Ryan and Emily’s Version) !!!” she wrote on social media. “Watch me accidentally catch myself singing this version on tour. This monologue is EVERYTHING.”

Swift is preparing to release her 11th studio album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ later this week (April 19).

Hannah Waddingham tells off photographer for “show your leg” request on red carpet

The actress has received praise for her response

The post Hannah Waddingham tells off photographer for “show your leg” request on red carpet appeared first on NME.

NME

Hannah Waddingham has told off a photographer who appeared to ask her to show her leg on a red carpet.

The Ted Lasso star was arriving at the Olivier Awards in London last night (April 14) – which she was hosting – when she overheard the request.

In footage shared on social media, the photographer’s words are unheard, but Waddingham tells them in response: “Oh my God, you’d never say that to a man, my friend.

“Don’t be a dick, otherwise I’ll move off,” she adds. “Don’t say ‘show me your leg.’ No.”

The star has since received huge praise on social media for calling the behaviour out, one person writing on Twitter/X: “This woman is a role model. Always, always call pricks out on their bullshit.”

“Yes yes yes to Hannah Waddingham taking down misogynistic idiots one at a time,” another wrote, while a third said: “We need more Hannah Waddingham’s in this world, what a role model.”

“Yet again, Hannah Waddingham showing what an absolute goddess she is,” a fourth wrote.

Waddingham is perhaps best known for playing Rebecca Welton in Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, and before that appeared in Game Of Thrones.

Earlier this month, the star revealed that her role as Septa Unella in the latter HBO fantasy series gave her “chronic claustrophobia” after a scene that saw her waterboarded “for 10 hours”.

“I have talked about it since with David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the two exec producers on it, I was like, ‘Good job it’s for them because it was horrific’,” she told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “[I had] 10 hours of being actually waterboarded, like actually waterboarded.”

Waddingham went on to praise the show, saying: “The reason why I don’t believe [Game Of Thrones] is touched yet in terms of the cinematography of it for a series, it’s just a different level. But with that comes actual waterboarding.”

Meanwhile, the star admitted last year that she has “no time” for critics of Tom Cruise after working with the actor on Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.

“He is without doubt one of the loveliest and encouraging, positive and inspiring human beings I have ever met,” she told James Martin’s Saturday Morning. “Isn’t he gorgeous? I have no time for anyone saying anything about him.”

TV presenter Rachel Riley apologises for “intifada” tweet that was “misunderstood”

“I am sorry if this message was misunderstood, that was not my intention”

The post TV presenter Rachel Riley apologises for “intifada” tweet that was “misunderstood” appeared first on NME.

Countdown presenter Rachel Riley has apologised after a backlash over a tweet regarding the Sydney mall stabbing.

Over the weekend, six people were killed and others injured in a stabbing attack at the Westfield Bondi Junction Mall in Sydney, with the perpetrator identified as a man called Joel Cauchi, who was later shot dead by police.

Following the attack, Riley shared a tweet in which she wrongly claimed that the attack was linked to “globalised intifada”. Police have claimed that the attack was “related to the mental health” of Cauchi and that there was “no ideological motivation” (via BBC News).

In the since-deleted post, the presenter wrote: “For 6 months now, people have been out on our streets proudly calling for the ‘Intifada Revolution.’ If you want to know what ‘Globalised Intifada’ looks like, see the Sydney Mall. 5 victims stabbed to death and 8 transferred to hospital, including a baby, due to one man and a knife.

“In the second intifada over 1,000 Israelis were murdered in restaurants, on buses and in the streets by suicide bombings, stabbings, stoning, lynching, shooting rockets. The youngest victim was just 9 hours old. Sydney mall, multiple times over is what they’ve been proudly calling for.”

The tweet has sparked a backlash on social media, with some accusing the presenter of Islamaphobia. In a follow-up post, Riley said her “intention with this tweet was not to say this attack was caused by any ideation or to link it to Islamic extremism”.

“At the time we did not know who the attacker was, and as such I made no reference,” she wrote. “My aim was to highlight the weekly calls for ‘intifada’ being tolerated in London and around the world, which in actuality means violence on our streets.

“For 6 months now, I have avoided taking the tube, or going with my kids to anywhere near the marches each Saturday, and each week we see the extremist chants on proud display with little outcry,” Riley continued. “Sadly, the type of attack seen in Sydney yesterday is exactly the kind of violence the previous intifada involved and I hope to avoid in future, but in my opinion ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.

“Attacks on Jews have recently become repackaged as ‘resistance’ in some circles, and we should in one voice condemn all acts of violence, whoever the perpetrators and whoever the victims. I am sorry if this message was misunderstood, that was not my intention.”

Amid calls for Countdown broadcaster Channel 4 to take action, the channel said in a statement (via Metro): “We have reminded Rachel of her obligations as a contributor to Channel 4 programming.”

Ryan Reynolds pranks Rob McElhenney with ‘Titanic’-inspired birthday present

Ryan Reynolds has pranked friend Rob McElhenney with a Titanic-themed birthday present.

The pair, who are owners of Wrexham A.F.C. after buying the Welsh football club in 2020, are known for their comic antics with one another.

On the occasion of the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star’s 47th birthday yesterday (April 14), which also marks the anniversary of the Titanic hitting an iceberg, Reynolds shared a clip on YouTube.

“For his big day this year, I financed an expedition to the ocean floor to retrieve a few bottles of Wrexham Lager – which was actually on that maiden voyage – to use in an epic birthday toast,” the star quipped in the video.

“We searched and searched. And while unfortunately we didn’t find any drinkable Wrexham Lager, what we did find was even more beautiful…”.

The star then proceeded to unveil a nude pencil portrait of McElhenney in the style of the portrait of Kate Winslet’s Rose in 1997 film Titanic.

“So join me in celebrating the heart of our Wrexham A.F.C. family by sending Rob all the birthday love we can,” Reynolds added, quipping that fans shouldn’t “embarrass” his friend by purchasing merch adorned with “all of Rob’s splendour and soft, delicate chest hair”.

After revealing that the portrait would adorn the Tŷ Pawb Gallery in Wrexham, the star concluded with a reference to Wrexham’s recent League One promotion: “Just do as I am, and simply wish Rob a happy birthday. We’ll see you in League One.”

Back in 2022, Reynolds gifted McElhenney a commemorative urinal for his birthday, and last year released a song teaching people how to pronounce his name.

Meanwhile, last November the pair came together to help save a Wrexham clothing and footwear shop after it was ransacked of £7,000 worth of stock.

The pair’s time at Wrexham has been documented in Disney+ series Welcome To Wrexham, which released its second season last year.

All of these viral news stories were hoaxes by Joe Lycett

The comedian has confirmed he planted four fake stories in the media

The post All of these viral news stories were hoaxes by Joe Lycett appeared first on NME.

Joe Lycett has revealed four false stories that he planted in UK media recently.

The comedian, who is well-known for media stunts, returned to screens over the weekend for the second series of his Channel 4 show Late Night Lycett.

Having previously teased that he had planted a number of news hoaxes, Lycett joked on Friday’s (April 12) show: “I wanted to take up space that [the media] would otherwise use to spread hate, misery and pictures of Amanda Holden.”

The star then disclosed the stories in question, many of which were covered across sites including the BBC and Sky News.

They were a Birmingham five-a-side footballer having a bruise that resembled Prince Harry, H from Steps getting a statue in his honour in his hometown of Cowbridge, research saying men from Birmingham have the longest penises, and a supposed Banksy mural of The Wizard of Oz‘s Dorothy in Birmingham.

Opening up about being part of the hoax, H later told BBC Wales: “I’m great friends with Joe and he had this idea that he wanted to create fun fake news to deflect away from all of the bad fake news – and it worked! And a lot of these stories have gone unnoticed – this one did for a long time.”

He added: “I love that Joe has put this on a national platform, when there is so much hatred and we can shine a little light on some joy and something funny. It was the most ridiculous but people bought it, I had to text my mother and go mum just to let you know this is gonna happen, and she said ‘I will say nothing’.”

Last year, Lycett pranked fans after teasing the release of a supposed podcast called ‘Turdcast’, which was actually a stunt to promote his Joe Lycett vs Poo documentary that looks at the UK’s sewage spill problem.

In 2022, Lycett threatened to shred £10k in an effort to push David Beckham to stop working with Qatar during the World Cup amid its homophobic policies. He ended up supposedly shredding the money when Beckham didn’t do so, though Lycett later revealed the shredding was fake and instead donated the cash to charity.

‘Baretta’ actor Ron Thompson dies aged 83

The actor also appeared in Ralph Bakshi’s ‘American Pop’

The post ‘Baretta’ actor Ron Thompson dies aged 83 appeared first on NME.

NME

Baretta actor Ron Thompson has died at the age of 83.

The actor famously played the role of Detective Nopke in the 1970s series, and was also known for playing the roles of Tony and Pete Belinsky in the 1981 Ralph Bakshi film American Pop.

The news of Thompson’s passing was announced by his friend Professor Rel Dowdell of Hampton University, with confirmation that he died on Saturday (April 13) in Los Angeles – though no cause of death was revealed.

“Mr. Ron Thompson was a very versatile and talented character actor in all genres as well as a true and diligent student of the comprehensive craft of acting and all of its nuances,” Dowell said (via Deadline).

“He was a very congenial man with a warm and giving spirit, and was well-respected by many luminaries in the film and television industries.”

Since his death was announced, past collaborator Bakshi shared a tribute on social media, writing: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ron Thompson. Ron’s stellar performances as both ‘Tony’ and ‘Pete’ were critical to the success of American Pop. Ron was a true actor and friend. He will be missed.”

As well as Baretta and American Pop, Thompson also appeared opposite Robert Duvall in Armstrong Circle Theater, and had a number of notable stage credits.

He originated the role of Shanty Mulligan in Charles Gordone play No Place to Be Somebody and also appeared in Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?, for which he won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Lead Performance.

Recent roles included a part in 2018 film Cargo, as well as 2021’s Natasha Hall and 2023’s Suffrage.

Alongside his work as an actor, Thompson also had a short-lived music career in the 1960s under the name Ronnie Thompson, and wrote and recorded a few singles.

His wife Diane Sommerfield, who was also an actor, passed away in 2001.

Johnny Depp accused of verbally abusing former co-star on set

Lola Glaudini made the claims in a recent podcast

The post Johnny Depp accused of verbally abusing former co-star on set appeared first on NME.

NME

Blow star Lola Glaudini has accused co-star Johnny Depp of verbally abusing her on the set of the film.

The two stars both appeared in the 2001 film, which is based on the true story of drug trafficker George Jung.

During a recent episode of the podcast Powerful Truth Angels, Glaudini claimed that Depp “reamed in [her] face” after being given a cue by director Ted Demme to laugh after the actor delivered a monologue.

“Day one, I haven’t even met Johnny Depp at this point […] I’m on a bear skin rug in a bikini […] Johnny Depp has this monologue that he does back and forth, back and forth,” she recalled.

“[Director] Ted Demme comes over to me, and he’s like, ‘OK Lola, when Johnny says this certain word, I want you to just burst out laughing like she just told you the funniest thing over here.’ We’re in the background, the deep background, right?”

She continued: “[Depp] says his monologue, I hear the cue, and I go haha, I do a big laugh or whatever.

“Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks over to me, comes up to me, sticks his finger in my face – and I’m in a bikini on the ground like this – and he comes over and he goes, ‘Who the fuck do you think you are? Who the fuck do you think you are? Shut the fuck up. I’m out here, and I’m trying to fucking say my lines, and you’re fucking pulling focus. You fucking idiot. Oh, now, oh now it’s not so funny? Now you can shut up? Now you can fucking shut the fuck up? The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you fucking stay.’

“First day, on the set, I’ve never met him,” Glaudini added. “This was my first studio movie, I’ve just done indies until then. And I have the star who I have idolised, who I am so excited to work with, reamed me in my face. The only thing I have going through my head was, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.’”

The actress also claimed that Demme, who passed away in 2002, “did not come over and say anything” and she felt she was “totally hung out to dry”, adding: “When we wrapped, I was like a pariah. No one wanted to talk to me, because I am the bitch who he railed at.”

Recalling speaking to her dad at the end of the day’s shoot, Glaudini said: “I called my dad, and I told him what happened, and he was like, ‘You have two choices right now: you can either say fuck this, fuck you, and I’m not going to be spoken to like that, or you never let him see you sweat. Either one is one hundred per cent respectable – what do you want to do?’ And I was like, ‘Alright, I want to stay in the movie.'”

Glaudini said she later saw Depp on set, where he gave her “a non-apology apology”, the star elaborating: “[He said], ‘You know, so earlier I was really in my head and staying in my character, I’m doing this Boston accent, and it’s really fucking with me. So I’m a little tense and stuff. So I just wanted to make sure we’re cool and everything?’

“I just looked at him, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about? Of course, what you talking about? Totally cool.’ Because I was like… my dad said, ‘Don’t let them see you sweat.’ So that was that.”

NME has reached out to Depp’s representatives for comment.

Meanwhile, last week Depp caused confusion after sharing and then deleting an apparently-Photoshopped an image of Robert Downey Jr with himself after the latter’s Oscar win.

Back in 2022, Depp won a defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post. Two years prior, Depp lost a libel case against The Sun after it published an article that referred to him as a “wife beater” – claims Depp has always denied.

‘Blade Runner Live’ announces new UK tour dates

The film is set to tour the country with a live score in September

The post ‘Blade Runner Live’ announces new UK tour dates appeared first on NME.

NME

Blade Runner Live has announced a number of new tour dates across the UK.

The classic Ridley Scott sci-fi film’s Final Cut version is set to play in venues across the country in September accompanied by The Avex Ensemble, which will showcase the film’s classic Vangelis score.

Starting at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on September 18, the tour will include stops including Manchester’s O2 Apollo and London’s Eventim Apollo, before concluding at Bournemouth’s International Centre on September 28.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday (March 22) at 10am – and can be found here.

“AEG Artistic is thrilled to be presenting Blade Runner Live across the UK next September,” said AEG Presents artistic director Lucy Noble.

“It’s amazing after 42 years the film and soundtrack still stand the test of time. This will be a truly amazing and unique way for audiences to revisit this iconic piece of cinema with Vangelis’ iconic score as they’ve never experienced it before.”

The film previously screened with an orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in 2019.

Blade Runner Live’s full tour dates are below:

SEPTEMBER:
18 – SEC Armadillo, Glasgow
19 – O2 Apollo, Manchester
20 – Eventim Apollo, London
21 – Symphony Hall, Birmingham
23 – Brighton Centre, Brighton
28 – Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth

Blade Runner stars Harrison Ford as cop Rick Deckard, who is tasked with hunting down replicants – bioengineered humanoids that are indistinguishable from humans.

The film spawned a 2017 sequel called Blade Runner 2049 from director Denis Villeneuve, which saw Ford return as Deckard alongside new lead Ryan Gosling as Blade Runner K. An anime TV series called Blade Runner: Black Lotus also debuted in 2021.

Last year, new game Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth was unveiled by Annapurna Interactive, which will follow what it means to be a Blade Runner post-Blackout.

“I couldn’t pass up this chance. I’ve been watching the original film yearly since I was probably too young, and I remember sneaking away to watch 2049 in the midst of shipping a big project,” game director Chelsea Hash told IGN.
