Zack Sharf Digital News Director Robert Downey Jr. is not closing the door on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which he kicked off in 2008 with “Iron Man” and headlined for 11 years through 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.” Iron Man met his demise in that tentpole, but that has never stopped rumors from circulating that Marvel is trying to bring Downey back into the fold, especially now that the MCU has hit a box office rough patch with 2023 flops such as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.” Certainly, Downey’s return as Iron Man could restore Marvel to its blockbuster glory days.

While it’s hard to pinpoint an origin story for the backlash, it’s no secret that it became popular to hate on actress Anne Hathaway circa 2011 and 2012, the former being the year she hosted the Oscars with James Franco and the latter the year she won her first Oscar for “Les Misérables.” Perhaps it was the earnestness, possibly what was seen as an eager-to-please attitude.

Anne Hathaway is filming her next movie!

Jake Gyllenhaal is still interested in playing Batman on the big screen. The actor recently revealed that it “would be an honor” to portray the Dark Knight as it’s a classic role.

Anne Hathaway is shutting down the speculation that her new movie The Idea of You is inspired by Harry Styles and his real-life romances with older women.

Given some of the star-studded titles that have closed out SXSW in previous years, a romantic comedy that could best be described as Harry Styles Wish Fulfillment might seem like an odd choice to round out the festival. But “The Idea of You,” a Michael Showalter adaptation of Robinne Lee’s book of the same name, proves that romantic comedies, when done well, are every bit as deserving of the red carpet rollout.

In Michael Showalter’s The Idea of You, based on the novel by Robinne Lee, Amazon/MGM brings to the screen a narrative that tantalizes with the prospect of exploring the complexities of love, age disparity, and the pursuit of happiness in the digital age. Anchored by Anne Hathaway’s Solene, a single mother and art gallery owner, and Nicholas Galitzine’s Hayes Campbell, a young pop star from the fictional band August Moon, the film sets its sights on charting the course of an unconventional romance, but the script muddles it all up to produce a somewhat funny, somewhat entertaining, albeit overly long romantic comedy.

Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine got support from The Idea of You producer Gabrielle Union at the premiere of their new movie during the SXSW Conference & Festival on Saturday (March 16) in Austin, Texas.
