Deadpool & Wolverine,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, will also feature a pup who’s been dubbed “Britain’s ugliest dog.”“Her real name is Peggy,” Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, told Empire of the unique pet cast as Dogpool. “The reason why I was a huge proponent for her was because she feels like the animal manifestation of Wade Wilson.”Foul-mouthed Wade became his masked alter-ego Deadpool in the 2016 film, after an injection gave him mutant superpowers, but also left his face and body disfigured.
“It’s love at first sight,” Reynolds, 47, said of his underdog character meeting the furry friend. “He loves Dogpool.”Peggy, who’s thought to be a pug and Chinese crested mix, was declared the ugliest dog in the UK during a contest put on my the photo firm Parrot Print last year.At the time, the organizers prophetically said, “We never imagined we would discover a star, but that’s exactly what happened.” Her doting owner, Holly Middleton, insisted that Peggy is “beautiful both inside and out.”The pup skyrocketed to fame.
And Middleton hinted at the major gig several months ago on Peggy’s Instagram — now called @dogpool — which already boasts some 83,400 followers. “You guys … I’m auditioning for a HUGE role.

A group of 86 producers responsible for generating the lion’s share of film and TV in Hollywood have banded together to form Producers United. While acknowledging they have made a good living, the collective aims to address the fact that producers typically spend lengthy periods in development with little to no pay or benefits. This means that only tenured producers — those with enough personal assets to survive long, speculative stretches — can survive within the current system. And, without essential support, up-and-comers struggle to find a foothold. Producers United members want to open the doors for the future generations of producers-in-training, and they feel that inaction will not only hurt the producers, but surely whittle down the influx of creative minds in the business, and thus the quality of future projects.

Whenever Marvel releases a project that deals with the idea of a multiverse, fans go crazy with rumors about who will show up as a cameo.

Anne Hathaway’s career in Hollywood began 23 years ago with a family movie about every teen girl’s ultimate fantasy — her geeky character discovered she was actually royalty.Now 41, the actress has delivered a second dose of impossible escapism with “The Idea of You,” an, ahem, steamier, R-rated flick clearly made for the older millennials who obsessed over “The Princess Diaries” back in the aughts.Her latest fizzy project instead realizes the dream of every bored woman in their thirties and forties: She plays an exhausted single mom who has a fling with a famous, 24-year-old British boybander. And why not? What fun.Anyway, I suspect that aspirational viewers of “The Idea of You,” a decadent diversion that’s based on the popular novel by Robinne Lee, would much rather jet set around Europe with Harry Styles than live in a moldy 300-year-old palace and cut ribbons.
While known for their blockbuster, saving-the-world narratives and often billion-dollar grossing earnings, given their costs and expectations, superhero films frequently have a reputation for the way studios often interfere in their making, the endless noting, the insistence of reshoots and sometimes, even the sidelining of the director (see “Thor: Dark World” filmmaker Alan Taylor who has said in the past that Marvel effectively locked him out of the editing process).
When the highly-anticipated blockbuster superhero film “Deadpool & Wolverine” slashes its way into theatres this July, fans can expect to see the nostalgic return of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and probably a whole ton of cameos, if the rumors and meta trailer jokes are any indication. However, as already reported, one character that viewers may have wanted to see but sadly won’t be in the anticipated blockbuster is Josh Brolin’s Cable, who previously appeared in “Deadpool 2.” Brolin’s absence from the film is already known; he was never reported as part of the film, and there’s no trace of him in any of the recent trailers; he even joked that he had beef with “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds.
