“It was weeks of people not getting along”: Emilia Clarke’s Secret Invasion, Worst Rated MCU Series, Had Disastrous Game of Thrones Level Powerplay Behind the Scenes


Marvel Studios has been through different levels of success and has also witnessed rock bottom through decades. But when the writers’ strike hit, the Studios faced a massive shift in powerplay and politics, like never before. And this change was felt immensely in Emilia Clarke’s Secret Invasion.
The thriller series led by Samuel L. Jackson and Emilia Clarke turned into Marvel’s worst-reviewed show. But what seemed far more atrocious was Marvel Studios’ internal politics that quietly led a good portion of its team to be replaced during the production and pre-production of Secret Invasion.

Marvel Studios Let Go Of Its Sufficiently Trained StaffNot just the writers’ strike but even Marvel Studios’ internal politics badly affected a few recently released projects. Currently, Daredevil: Born Again hitting the reset button allowed The Hollywood Reporter to learn a bit about this ongoing politics. And it has been revealed how the Studios allegedly quietly fired a significant number of writers and directors from the show.
But surprisingly, Daredevil: Born Again isn’t the only show that is undergoing drastic behind-the-scenes changes, due to change in staff. Apparently, Oscar Isaac starrer Moon Knight, faced the same issue when creator and writer Jeremy Slater quit, forcing director Mohamed Diab to take the reins. Thus, the outlet believes Marvel has been doing this for quite a while.

It all started during the pandemic when Marvel Studios stepped outside its usual staffing approach and brought in outside execs. They simply let go of staff who were sufficiently trained in the Marvel method and hired people from outside. And certainly, one show that severely faced this change was Emilia Clarke‘s worst-rated MCU series, Secret Invasion.
Emilia Clarke’s Secret Invasion Lost Majority Of Its TeamAccording to The Hollywood Reporter, it is believed that Emilia Clarke and Samuel L. Jackson-led thriller, Secret Invasion, became one of the worst-reviewed series because Marvel Studios fired a good portion of its team. As per the reports gathered by the outlet, writers and directors for the show were readily changed during pre-production.

Kyle Bradstreet, who had been working on the scripts for Secret Invasion for a year was fired suddenly after Marvel decided on a different direction for the show. Thereafter, Marvel Studios hired Brian Tucker as the new writer, along with Thomas Bezucha and Ali Selim as directors to help crack the story. But unfortunately, this constant change in staff led to a mess.
“It was weeks of people not getting along, and it erupted.” an insider shared with the outlet.

Trying to get rid of the messy situation and also to get Secret Invasion back on track when it was falling behind schedule, the Studios dispatched Jonathan Schwartz, a senior executive and member of Marvel’s creative committee. In this way, Marvel replaced a good portion of the show’s team and ended up turning Secret Invasion into the worst-rated show.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
