Captain Britain: Henry Cavill’s Dream MCU Role Is Officially a Match for Thor, Marvel Confirms


Marvel has confirmed that Captain Britain, Henry Cavill’s dream MCU role, is more than a match for Thor, as he nearly kills the Thunder God.
Captain Britain, Henry Cavill’s dream MCU role is officially a match for Thor, Marvel has confirmed. Captain Britain is a fan favorite character, and acclaimed actor Henry Cavill has expressed interest in playing him in the MCU. While Captain Britain is powerful, he has not shown the ability to go toe to toe with Asgardians such as Thor, but in Ultimate Universe #1, he does just that.

Ultimate Universe #1 is written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by Stefano Caselli. Thor has been sprung from his jail by the new Ultimate Doctor Doom and Iron Lad. The Maker, the former leader of the world, had stolen items that would have given people super-powers, in a bid to shape the world to his desires. Doom, Iron Lad, Thor and Sif head to Latveria to retrieve the stolen goods. Upon arrival, they see the containers the Maker is storing his ill-begotten materials in and just as Thor goes to open them, he is stabbed by Captain Britain’s Sword of Might, which seriously injures the Asgardian.
Captain Britain Occupies a Unique Spot in Marvel Lore

Not only is Captain Britain a fan favorite, but he is also important to Marvel history, being one of the first characters created specifically for the British comics market. He also has the distinction of being one of the few Marvel characters written by Alan Moore. Captain Britain proved popular across the pond and eventually began teaming up with American heroes. Captain Britain has been a member of Excalibur as well as heading up a multiversal corps of other Captain Britains. While he may not enjoy the same recognition as Captain America or Iron Man, Captain Britain is still an integral part of the Marvel Universe.
Captain Britain is a Favorite of Henry Cavill

He is also a favorite of Henry Cavill, who played Superman in the now defunct DCEU. A few enterprising fans created art depicting Cavill as Captain Britain, and the actor saw them. Later, when asked if he would play a character in the MCU, he replied he had seen the fan art and thought it would be cool to play Captain Britain. Cavill pointed to Chris Evans’ “modernized” take on Captain America as to how he would play Brian Braddock. At the time of the interview, Cavill was still under contract to Warner Brothers, but now with the DCEU over, it frees him up to play Captain Britain.
While fans wait to see if this bit of dream casting comes to life, Marvel has positioned Captain Britain as a major player in the new Ultimate universe. Thor is a powerful hero, no matter what world it is, and this version of Captain Britain was nearly able to kill the God of Thunder. This is a major step up for Captain Britain, who while being depicted as powerful in the past, was hardly a god-killer. Ultimate Universe #1 establishes a new, more deadly status quo for Captain Britain, making Henry Cavill’s dream MCU character more than a match for Thor.

‘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.
