Here is the latest Hollywood tea …

Even with Marvel’s big plans for future spinoffs unveiled at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, little was men­tioned about expanding LGBTQ representation. Current film characters like Guardians’ Star-Lord, Deadpool, Thor’s Valkyrie, Dr. Strange’s America Chavez, and Black Panther’s Ayo have been stripped of their queerness. After Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill, Marvel came out and said they wholeheartedly support the LGBTQ communi­ty …. so, c’mon Marvel, let’s get some representation!

The fans want Henry Cavill as Superman back! Can you blame them? Even Dwayne Johnson pushed for his return for his superhero film, Black Adam. Rumors state that a faceless cameo by Superman will be made, just not featuring his face nor Henry Cavill. His character has been featured in Shazam! and Peacemaker but not in full view. In Shazam! we only saw the bottom part of Superman. I mean, we are all pretty much looking at the bottom part of Superman, but still!

In other cameo news, it was leaked that Ben Affleck is Batman once again for a cameo in Aquaman 2. How the hell did Ben get his life together so fast? From making bad movies, rehab, and more to marrying JLo and now back in the cape? I want to read his motivation book.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are teaming up for the 7th time for The Wager. I’m going to ignore the fact that Leo has aged … is he daddy status now? I still have my Leo in Romeo & Juliet poster up. It’s probably considered vintage art by now.

Did you like the Han Solo origin film? Not many people did. There’s been some speculation that a sequel would be made, but for Disney+ and not theatres. Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan says no way, it’s either a film sequel or nothing. I’m still trying to get over my nap from watching Baba Fett … and Obi-Wan. Should NyQuil be spon­soring these TV Star Wars iterations?

Doug Jones returns in Hocus Pocus 2 as Billy and LOOKS THE SAME. He attributes it to being the same weight and build as 30 years ago … bitch! Movie fact: the wig he is wearing in the sequel is the same one he wore in the original Hocus Pocus, it was just sitting on someone’s shelf.

Gwyneth Paltrow stated that she would be open to returning to the MCU, even after Iron Man’s death. The MCU said, “who asked?” … allegedly.

Did you love Alicia Vikander’s Tomb Raider? Too bad … no sequel for you! MGM lost the rights and it’s been scrapped.

Euphoria and White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney says she is going under intense physical training for her role in the Spider-man universe. She also stated that she has to keep working because they don’t pay actors what they used to and she can’t even take six months off because she can’t afford it. Oh, she just bought a $3 million dollar house. You poor thing … gurl, I can’t even take six hours off!

Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire comes to AMC and is said to embrace the queerness of the novels. Finally, something we can sink our teeth into! Get it? No? Crickets …
