Hugh Jackman, A.K.A. Marvel‘s Wolverine, tends to keep busy, whether he’s working on a new movie or spending time performing on Broadway. Fortunately for the in-demand star, he has an occasional opportunity to stop by the beach. That’s just what he did recently, and to the delight of his fans, he also took a moment to snap a shirtless selfie which he shared on social media.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, December 6, Jackman posted a pic of himself on a stunning stretch of sand with the blue water sparkling behind him. From the smile on his face, it looks like he had a wonderful time.

In the caption, he wrote, “If only for a few minutes, I can’t resist.”


Fans Loved the Beach Selfie

While Jackman looked like he was enjoying himself on the beach, his fans were just as thrilled to see his selfie.

“[L]ooking great hughby,” one fan wrote in the comments of his Instagram post.

Another person added, “Beach hugh!!!”

“aauyghh yes 👏🔥,” came from a third follower.

Someone else left a comment, saying, “[G]enuinely the most beautiful man i’ve ever seen.”

Another person wrote, “@thehughjackman Wow, it’s been so long since you posted a picture from your beach trip. Thanks for that, you’re simply the best, even if it’s just for a short time. I hope you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful weekend and finally get some rest. You deserve it so much. ❤️🫶❤️💋❤️”


Hugh Puts in the Work to Get into Shape

This isn’t the first time Jackman has shared a shirtless selfie. In September 2024, he took to Instagram to post a pic of himself looking absolutely ripped.

“I am grateful,” Jackman captioned the post.

He also included audio of himself speaking, saying, “I’ve had a lot of people talk to me or ask me questions about how I got into shape and what I did, what I ate, how I trained, … how hard is it at your age and all of these things and honestly, I just wanted to take a second to say, ‘Yeah, I had to turn up and I had to, yep, I had to do those deadlifts and I had to eat those meals but I had an incredible team that helped me.'”

Jackman then named the people who help him get in tip-top shape, including trainers Beth Lewis and Michael Ryan.

“There’s not a hope in hell I would have got there without them,” Jackman said.

He went on to say, “It’s really important to me that I acknowledge those people who have spent a lifetime doing what they do. They’re the top of their game. They’re the best in the world and I feel so privileged to have them in my corner and I would not have achieved that result without them. So, thanks.”

Just days after turning 61, Marisa Tomei has shared a photo of herself looking both beautiful and youthful!

Marisa Tomei

When Marisa Tomei was cast as Aunt May in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a fair share of fans pointed out that she wasn’t quite what people expected. That’s because the character is often portrayed as an older woman while Tomei still looks youthful. That still applies to the star now. Indeed, just days after turning 61, the actress shared a photo of herself looking absolutely sensational.

Taking to Instagram to share a casual shot of herself walking by a pool, Tomei can be seen wearing a white tank top, jeans and a long, oversized plaid jacket along with running shoes. She also has her long hair worn down around her shoulders while she’s popped on a pair of sunglasses.

In the caption, she wrote, “🎂to all my tomatoes, thank you for the birthday juju 💕”

Plenty of her followers left comments on the post, including fellow star and relative Julianne Moore, who wrote, “Happy birthday cousin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Another person wrote, “Walking treasure 🌹🪭🌹🎂🥰🌞❤️‍🔥”

“Happy birthday to the most beautiful actress I’ve ever seen on the screen🔥🔥🫵🎂🥂,” came from another fan.

Someone else left a comment, saying, “Happy birthday beautiful Marisa!!🎉❤️”


Marisa Has Advice for Her Younger Self

While Tomei doesn’t necessarily like to be defined by her age, she does have some advice for her younger self.

In March 2024, she was asked by New Beauty, “I know that you’ll turn 60 this year. Is there any thoughts that’s coming with that? Are you excited for it, or where are you with that?”

“I think it’s a silly thing to be quantified by,” Tomei replied.

New Beauty noted, “That’s totally fair. Do you have any advice that you’d like to give to your younger self when you were starting out, either professionally or personally?”

“My advice to my younger self is keep partying and keep having fun and do all the late nights and do everything that comes across your plate,” she said. “That’s the time to do it, really.”


Marisa Played a Younger Aunt May

When it comes to Tomei playing Aunt May in the Marvel “Spiderman” movies, she admits it left her “a little flummoxed.”

“Certainly you’ve seen photos and drawings of earlier iterations of Aunt May—they don’t look like the version in theaters currently,” Vogue noted during an interview with Tomei. “Can you talk about your approach to playing a younger, cooler, never-before-seen take on the character?”

“I tried hard to understand the cultural split: how to be very maternal but also very desirable,” she said. “On the one hand, it was kind of the mandate of the character and the way it was being preconceived [by Marvel].”

She added, “But there was what I thought the fans expected from the character, which was a strong maternal presence tending to home fires. In combining those things, I became a little flummoxed.”

Fortunately, she nailed her version of the character when the cameras started rolling.

In case you missed it, Marvel alum Zoe Saldaña made a buzz-worthy appearance at the world premiere of “Avatar: Fire and Ash” in Hollywood on December 1. Looking lovely with her long hair worn down and just enough makeup to leave her shining, it was her dress that was the most eye-catching aspect of her overall look.

A stunning deep green, the full-length gown wrapped around the star’s figure in an undeniably flattering way. Of course, that’s not to mention the fact that while it was held up over her shoulder and was tied slightly at the waist, it was almost completely split open on one side.

Fans Loves Zoe’s Bold Look

When Saldaña shared her own look at the night on Instagram, fans flooded the comments with compliments.

One person wrote, “That leg!!!! So stunning!🔥”

“Gorgeous ❤️🔥👏,” another follower wrote.

A third fan wrote, “Absolutely stunning my friend.”

“Holy. Moly. Woman 🔥🔥🔥🔥,” someone else said in the comments.

Yet another person wrote, “Beautiful 🔥”


Zoe Revealed What Influences How She Dresses

When it comes to beauty and fashion, Allure once asked Saldaña, “Did growing up in both New York City and Dominican Republic influence any of your beauty habits at all[?]”

“Sure, I mean I was raised with such a beautiful consciousness of my heritage, and living in the Caribbean—that gave me the ability to know my culture,” she said in response. “It’s inevitable that it will influence you, from your diet, to how you dress.”

“In terms of beauty, I guess we do things that a lot of Latinos and Italians do,” the star continued. “Like we’ll put olive oil on the ends of my hair every now and then, and we will take just a spoonful of raw olive oil because it’s supposed to be very healthy.”

“Or, sometimes we’ll chop up garlic very finely and have it with espresso because garlic is supposed to be really good for your blood pressure and your nails,” she added. “So we’ll do things like that, oh and when you’ve been out in the sun a lot there’s nothing better then going to Trader Joe’s and just picking up an Aloe Vera leaf and peeling it and putting it on your skin.”

She also talked to Harper’s Bazaar about her attitude towards her style, saying, “Fashion is something that I enjoy; it’s an art.”

Chris Pratt has taken the Thanksgiving period as an opportunity to give his fans a glimpse of his life at home with his family — and that includes an extremely rare glimpse of all four of his children.

The 46-year-old actor — most famous for his roles as Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom “Parks and Recreation” and Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — took to his Instagram account to share a reel of six personal photographs with his 44.3 million followers.

Pratt’s four children come from two different relationships. He shares his oldest child, Jack, with his ex-wife Anna Farris. He also has two daughters, Eloise, Lyla, and one son, Ford, with his current wife, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katherine.


Chris Pratt Maintained His Children’s Privacy

Despite the intimate sneak peek into Chris Pratt’s home and family life, the Minnesota-born star managed to maintain his children’s privacy in the images of them that he included in his post.

The first image in Pratt’s reel is of him and Katherine facing away from the camera, staring at a gorgeous sunset, while Katherine holds Ford.

In the second image, Pratt and Katherine are standing with all four of his children. Pratt has his arm around Jack’s shoulder, while Katherine holds Ford again. All four children’s faces are covered with white heart emojis.

Picture three is of Pratt and Katherine standing on some grass, smartly dressed for a formal occasion.

The fourth photograph is from behind and shows Katherine sat on the sofa with her two daughters snuggled into her.

In the fifth picture, Pratt lovingly holds Ford close while sat on another sofa.

Finally, image six shows Pratt sitting at a table with four family members, one of whom is son Jack (again, with his face covered with a white heart emoji).

Pratt captioned the post, dated November 27, with one simple word accompanied by another heart emoji: “Thankful 🤍.”

It provided a wonderful insight into the wholesome home life of a Hollywood superstar, his successful author wife, and their beautiful family.

Chris Pratt has a lot to be thankful for on a professional level this year, too.

In March, “The Electric State” released, in which Pratt starred alongside “Stranger Things” actress Millie Bobby Brown and “The Goonies” icon Ke Huy Quan. Directed by the Russo Brothers, the sci-fi action-adventure movie is loosely based on the 2018 illustrated novel of the same name by Simon StÃ¥lenhag.

In August, the action thriller television series “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” released. Pratt both executive produced the show and starred in it as Lieutenant James Reece. Based on characters from the 2018 novel “The Terminal List” by Jack Carr, the series is a prequel to “The Terminal List,” which also starred Pratt and released in 2022.

Pratt has also been filming several other movies that are either currently in production or going through post-production. They include drama film “Way of the Warrior Kid,” sci-fi thriller “Mercy,” animated adventure comedy sequel “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” and superhero offering “Avengers: Doomsday.”

We wish Chris Pratt continued success in his career and sincerely hope that he and his family had a fantastic Thanksgiving.

Marvel Star Refuses to Rule Out MCU Return https://entertainmentnow.com/marvel-studios-movies-comics/hugh-jackman-wolverine-refuses-rule-out/?adt_ei=[email] https://entertainmentnow.com/marvel-studios-movies-comics/hugh-jackman-wolverine-refuses-rule-out/#respond Tue, 25 Nov 2025 15:55:47 +0000 https://entertainmentnow.com/?p=5578837 Hugh Jackman

A Hollywood star best known for portraying Wolverine in various Marvel films, has refused to rule out reprising the character again.

Hugh Jackman has revealed that he hasn’t ruled out returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future. The Wolverine actor has been involved in Marvel films for more than two decades, including in the 2024 release “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and has now refused to say that he has fully retired from portraying the famous X-Men character. 


Hugh Jackman Could Return to the MCU

Over the weekend, Jackman was a guest on a British chat show alongside Kate Hudson, Ben Stiller, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. During his appearance on “The Graham Norton Show,” he was asked by Norton about the process of coming back as Wolverine for the 2024 film. 

The chat show host said, “Every time you’re on, you go, ‘Nope, I’m not doing that again,’ But then you keep making another one. And it’s a big, big hit. So are you gonna have to do it again?” 

Jackman replied with a simple “maybe” while mischievously looking towards the studio audience. 

He then went on to expand on his answer, explaining that he now takes an approach of not giving a definitive answer as it is always possible that the right project could come along and change his mind

“I am never saying ‘never’ ever again,” explained Jackman. “I did mean it when I said ‘never,’ until the day when I changed my mind. But I really did for quite a few years, I meant it.” 

The remark references the fact that Jackman had previously retired from playing Wolverine after the 2017 film “Logan.” For the next seven years he was not part of any Marvel project but returned to the role alongside Ryan Reynolds for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” With rumors suggesting Deadpool might appear in  “Avengers: Doomsday,” it wouldn’t be a huge shock to see Jackman as Wolverine in the upcoming film. 


Hugh Jackman Unrecognizable as Robin Hood

Whether or not Jackman does once again take up the mantle of Wolverine may not be sure, but what fans do know is that he will have a very different look in his next movie. The actor is set to portray the titular hero in “The Death of Robin Hood” and has gone through something of a physical transformation to do so.

“There is a depth, a camaraderie and a spirit to the entire cast and crew of ‘The Death of Robin Hood.’ Thank you for this wonderful experience. It is an honor and a privilege. Thank you Ireland!!! Your beauty knows no bounds,” Jackman wrote alongside an Instagram video showing how his look is achieved

It was just announced that Scarlett Johansson will star in the latest “Exorcist” film that will be directed by Mike Flanagan.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson has officially signed on to star in a fresh, new take on “The Exorcist,” directed by horror maestro Mike Flanagan.

Breaking from her iconic and beloved role in the Marvel cinematic universe, she is set to show a acting range, according to Deadline.

Flanagan, known for genre hits like “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Midnight Mass,” is writing and directing the untitled project through his Red Room Pictures banner.

The flick is going to be an all-new film in the The Exorcist universe — not a sequel to “The Exorcist: Believer” (2023).

In a statement with Deadline, Flanagan praised Johansson.

“Scarlett is a brilliant actress whose captivating performances always feel grounded and real, from genre films to summer blockbusters, and I couldn’t be happier to have her join this ‘Exorcist’ film,” he stated.


What Makes This Exorcist Project Different

It’s been years in the making for this type of film. Flanagan previously mentioned how he felt about the film in an interview with Bloody Disgusting.

“But I’ve always felt that there’s no point in going into a franchise or into a property that monolithic unless there’s something new you can bring. I chased ‘The Exorcist’ very aggressively because I was convinced I had something that I could add,” he told the outlet.

He added, “This is an opportunity to do something that I believe has never been done within the franchise — something that honors what came before it but isn’t built on nostalgia. I really just saw an opportunity to make the scariest movie I’ve ever made. I know expectations are high. No one’s more intimidated than I am.”

When it was announced in May 2024 that Flanagan would direct the film, he expressed his happiness at the honor.

“‘The Exorcist’ is one of the reasons I became a filmmaker, and it is an honor to have the chance to try something fresh, bold and terrifying within its universe. Reuniting with my friends at Blumhouse, with whom I’ve made some of my favorite pieces of work, only makes this more exciting.”


Why Johansson’s Casting Matters

Johansson is no stranger to Hollywood blockbusters, but she hasn’t done much in traditional horror — which makes this move all the more intriguing.

Her involvement gives the project significant star power, and her reputation for strong, grounded acting aligns closely with Flanagan’s vision for a deeply character-driven horror film.

Deadline reported “that scheduling had to be worked out with a couple of upcoming projects but that this film will likely be next on her docket to shoot.”

Beloved actor Chadwick Boseman died in August 2020 from colon cancer, which he battled with privately. He was 43 at the time of his passing.

Boseman is missed by his family and loved ones. Fans also miss him for his genuine personality and impressive portfolio of work. On November 20, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His widow, Simone Ledward-Boseman, attended the ceremony.


Chadwick Boseman’s Impactful Words 

At the ceremony, Simone discussed her husband’s legacy and the advice he gave her, which has had a tremendous impact on her life. “A big one is protecting my energy and not being rushed. Not being rushed and not allowing anyone to rush you,” she told People in an interview published on November 23. “Understanding that everything happens in its time, that you don’t have to respond to that text right now, you don’t have to respond to that email right now.” 

She continued, “You can center yourself and take the pressure off of being constantly available.”

Simeone and Chadwick were private people. They had been romantically linked since 2015, but chose to keep their relationship out of the limelight. They made their red carpet debut together at the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The confirmation of their marriage came only in a statement about his death. “He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side,” the family wrote in a statement shared on Instagram at the time.


Remembering Chadwick Boseman 

Simone used the interview and the celebration to remember her late husband’s legacy. Although she confessed that she did not think he often thought of it.

“I think that he thought about the work and what the thing he was working on at that moment was going to mean for the people who would come into contact with it,” she said. “I don’t think that he thought about what he was leaving behind from the perspective of himself, I think he really focused on the work, and I think that he does leave behind a legacy of intention and power and purpose.”

Simone also discussed how Chadwick had been surrounded by a “really wonderful team that protected his energy.” For the ceremony, she brought the late actor’s shoes and a framed photograph of him to place upon his Walk of Fame star during the unveiling. She described them as “beautiful shoes” that Chadwick often wore. Simone also acknowledged how he had many different looks, but felt that the pair of shoes she chose was the best one for the day.

Chris Hemsworth is revealing a deeply personal chapter his family has been navigating.

Chris Learns His Father Has Alzheimer's While Facing His Own Genetic Risk

Chris Hemsworth is speaking candidly about a chapter his family never expected to confront. The Marvel actor revealed that his 71-year-old father, Craig, has been diagnosed with the active form of Alzheimer’s and has already begun experiencing memory loss and shifts in perception.

Chris first learned about his own heightened risk years earlier while filming the National Geographic series “Limitless,” where he discovered he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene linked to Alzheimer’s.

The finding hit him harder after Craig’s diagnosis, making the possibility of facing the disease himself feel more real.


Inside the Hemsworth Family’s Decision to Share Their Alzheimer’s Journey

With the family now stepping into a new phase, they chose to document the experience on film. Their new hour-long documentary, A Road Trip to Remember, premieres on NatGeo on November 23 and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.

“It was an interesting thing to even consider,” Chris said, as per Esquire. “There was a lot of, as you’d expect, apprehension and concern about how will this be perceived or portrayed? I don’t want to feel like I’m manipulating any of it in any sense, so I asked him: ‘What did you think? What are your feelings about this?’ And he expressed a huge amount of enthusiasm to do it.”


Craig Opens Up on Camera About His Changing Reality

For Chris, one of the biggest challenges was asking his father, a quiet and strong-willed man, to speak openly about his changing health. Craig eventually voiced the truth during a campfire conversation captured in the film. He also talked about it on Good Morning America.

“Some days, things are quite clear and I can make sense,” Craig said, as reported by Esquire. “And then some days it’s not so clear. It’s not so correct.”

After a lifetime of caring for others as a father and as a child protective officer, Craig admitted that losing his independence frightens him most. “I can’t look after myself, and [will] be reliant upon other people to make decisions for me. … Being a burden is probably the biggest issue I think.”

Chris said hearing those words was overwhelming. “I remember when he said that,” he told Time. “It was profound and heartbreaking at the same time. We have to keep reminding him: ‘Let us help you here.’”


The Family Adjusts as Craig Resists Asking for Help

Chris admitted that Craig isn’t always the easiest patient, something many families navigating Alzheimer’s will recognize. “The resistance to us assisting or taking the burden away or doing it for him, is sort of problematic at times,” Chris said.

“It’s like, ‘Dad, you’ve got to let us step in at this point.’ And as time has gone on, there is a more openness to that. It’s day to day. But it says a lot about his character, his amount of deep integrity and compassion and selflessness.”

Months after filming, Craig is still fighting the effects of the disease, and Chris said he’s doing “well, all things considered.”


Chris Reflects on Fear, Family, and the “Comfort Crisis”

The diagnosis has reshaped how Chris approaches his own life. With a daughter and twin sons with his wife Elsa Pataky, he said his father’s struggles pushed him to live with more awareness, intention, and gratitude.

“For sure, the biggest takeaway for me was the comfort crisis that we’re faced with,” he said, as per Esquire.

“The removal of all the safety nets and actually seeking new adventure is healthy for the mind, the spirit, and the body. We settle for the familiar, even if it’s the wrong decision, because … well, it’s better than the I-don’t-know. And that’s the problem, I think. We become stagnant with that sort of mentality and there is a lack in our growth. To continually push back against that familiar path is where the true lessons come.”

Despite the fear that hangs over any Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Chris said Craig’s attitude continues to shape how he faces the future. “He has a pretty incredible perspective around all of it,” he said. “It causes fear and anxiety, but it’s a motivator to not take any of it for granted and, while he can, capture as many memories as possible and revisit the old ones.”

Chris remains healthy and focused on staying physically and mentally strong, but his father’s diagnosis has made the threat of Alzheimer’s more personal. The documentary, he says, is both a tribute and a reminder of the moments that matter most.

During Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles event on Nov. 15, 2025, Coogler revealed that the next chapter of the “Black Panther” saga is officially moving forward. Speaking with Deadline, the two-time Oscar nominee said, “If it were anyone but you, I would say I could neither confirm or deny. But we’re working on it, we’re working on it hard… It’s the next movie.”

The announcement marks Coogler’s long-awaited return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after directing the first two “Black Panther” films — 2018’s record-breaking hit starring the late Chadwick Boseman and its 2022 sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, which earned more than $859 million worldwide. The next film will continue the story of Wakanda following Letitia Wright’s Shuri taking on the mantle of the Black Panther.

Coogler also confirmed he still plans to collaborate with two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington on “Black Panther 3.” Speaking earlier this year on “The Nightcap” podcast with Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Coogler said he’s been “dying to work” with the Hollywood legend. “I’ve got every intention of working with him on that movie,” he said. “As long as he’s interested, man, it’s going to happen.”

Washington first sparked excitement in 2024 when he revealed that Coogler was “writing a part” for him in the next “Black Panther” film. He later told Variety that he called Coogler to apologize for letting the secret slip, adding, “Whatever he writes, I’ll read.”

While no release date has been set, the third installment is expected to arrive after “Avengers: Secret Wars” in Marvel’s Phase 7, continuing the franchise’s legacy while introducing new faces to Wakanda.


Fans React to Coogler’s Big Confirmation

Following Coogler’s announcement, fans took to Reddit to share their excitement and theories about what could come next for the “Black Panther” series.

“Always excited to see more Black Panther content. Can’t wait to see what happens! And what’s going on with Denzel’s character?” one user wrote. Another added, “Am I the only one who is fine with them not recasting T’Challa? I think focusing on the other Wakandans is probably the best solution they could do.” 

The news comes as Sinners, Coogler’s R-rated thriller starring Michael B. Jordan, continues to draw strong reviews and box office numbers. With “Black Panther 3” now officially on deck, the director is preparing to return to Wakanda and possibly welcome Denzel Washington to the MCU.

Michelle Pfeiffer is celebrating 32 years of marriage with her husband, writer and producer David E. Kelley.

The “Ant-Man and the Wasp” actress, 67, marked the milestone on Nov. 13 with a rare Instagram post showing the couple walking hand in hand through the streets of Bozeman, Montana, where Pfeiffer is currently filming her upcoming Taylor Sheridan–created series The Madison. “Lucky in love for 32 years 🤍,” she captioned the post.

The heartwarming post drew love from fans and famous friends alike. Rita Wilson commented, “Happy Anniversary!!! You’re both so lovely!!! Here’s to doubling that number!” while another fan added, “A good number. And an example of legacy-love for Hollywood.” Others praised the couple for their enduring bond, with one user writing, “Congrats! How great to see couples in the movies/tv business live a long and happy life together!”


A Love Story That Started on a Blind Date

Pfeiffer and Kelley, 69, first met in early 1993 after being set up on a blind date. Their first outing was a group bowling night that Pfeiffer later joked “didn’t start off great” since Kelley spent part of the evening chatting with her sister. But the two quickly connected, and their relationship moved fast.

At the time, Pfeiffer was already in the process of adopting her daughter, Claudia. Two months into dating, the adoption was finalized, giving Kelley an early glimpse of family life. “It was sort of perfectly timed,” Pfeiffer told Good Housekeeping in a past interview, adding that it showed her the kind of person he was.

The couple married that November in a private ceremony. Kelley officially adopted Claudia, and they welcomed their son, John Henry, in 1994.


Keeping Love Strong for Over Three Decades

Over the years, Pfeiffer and Kelley have remained one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples. Despite their busy careers — Kelley is the Emmy-winning creator behind “Big Little Lies” and “Ally McBeal” — they’ve kept their marriage out of the spotlight and maintain clear boundaries between work and home life.

Pfeiffer has previously said they avoid working together to protect their relationship, telling The New Yorker that she “values their marriage more than a good part.”

Now celebrating 32 years together, the couple continues to lead a quiet life, occasionally stepping out for red carpet events, including the 2024 Golden Globes. Reflecting on her long-lasting partnership, Pfeiffer told Parade in 2012, “I got really lucky. I never take him for granted. I’ve never met a person who has more integrity than my husband.”
