Deadpool et Wolverine , le duo le plus dément et badass des comics, débarque enfin dans le MCU . Et croyez-moi, ça va dépoter ! Après des années de teasing et de spéculations, Ryan Reynolds et Hugh Jackman rempilent pour un film qui s’annonce déjà culte .

La bande-annonce vient de sortir et elle est aussi barjo que jouissive . On y retrouve un Deadpool fidèle à lui-même, avec ses vannes, ses références meta et son humour potache . Mais cette fois, il ne sera pas seul pour affronter ses ennemis et sauver le monde (ou le détruire, au choix). Il pourra compter sur son « pote » Wolverine et ses griffes en adamantium.

Et autant vous dire que la bromance risque de faire des étincelles ! Les chamailleries et les punchlines vont fuser entre les deux anti-héros et d’après les premières images, leur relation sera aussi électrique que jubilatoire . On devrait avoir droit à des combats épiques, des cascades démentes et des dialogues bien salés , comme on les aime.

Côté intrigue, la bande-annonce révèle que le Wolverine de ce film est une variante de celui qu’on connaît. Apparemment, il aurait échoué à sauver son monde d’une menace encore inconnue, ce qui semble introduire la principale antagoniste, Cassandra Nova . Deadpool devra donc faire équipe avec cette version alternative de Wolverine pour affronter cette nouvelle menace. Ce twist malin permet à Ryan Reynolds de ramener ce héros iconique sans effacer la fin que Hugh Jackman lui avait offerte dans Logan .

Le film est attendu dans les salles obscures pour le 26 juillet 2024. Et c’est une sacrée bonne nouvelle, parce que les films de super-héros commençaient à ronronner ces derniers temps. Entre les Ant-Man , les Gardiens de la Galaxie et autres Marvels , on avait un peu l’impression de bouffer la même soupe tiédasse .

Deadpool a toujours été le mouton noir du genre, avec sa violence , ses gros mots et son ton irrévérencieux et en faire un film R-Rated dans le MCU, c’est toujours un pari osé . Ça montre que Kevin Feige et sa bande ont encore des couilles (même si techniquement, Deadpool n’en a plus depuis X-Men Origins: Wolverine , mais passons).

Bref, j’ai hâte de voir ça !

Stephan Elliott says Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp are ‘onboard’ and the sequel will be set partly in Australia but will also head overseas

A sequel to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is in the works, director Stephan Elliott has confirmed, with the film’s stars Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving “onboard” to come back.

Elliott confirmed to Guardian Australia that he will serve as director, writer and producer on the sequel and that the script has been finished. The 1994 original starred Weaving, Pearce and Stamp as drag queens who drive a bus – the titular Priscilla – from Sydney to Alice Springs.

Avec la sortie du Garçon et le Héron de Hayao Miyazaki, l'envie vous prendra peut-être de voir ou revoir d'autres films du studio Ghibli. Presque tous sont disponibles en SVOD sur Netflix.

Henry Cavill leads a ragtag group on an unlikely mission in this shaggy, exaggerated account of Operation Postmaster

Guy Ritchie’s inevitable graduation from London to Hollywood has had its moments – the rambunctious zip of the first Sherlock Holmes, the stylish homoeroticism of The Man from UNCLE – but it soon felt as if the once electrifying film-maker had been swallowed up by the system. A middling Sherlock sequel, a pointless King Arthur non-starter and a soulless Aladdin remake seemed like enough to push not just fans away but Ritchie himself. He’s since found a happier medium, making films for a broad, commercial audience with easily marketable stars yet on, what seem like, his own terms, wrestling some control back from the money men.

He’s barely stopped ever since, with five films made over five years and two more slotted into the next, and there is an expectedly solid, workmanlike quality to his recent work, never enough for a four-star rating but never risking a two. His latest, the annoyingly titled The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, is another adequate three-star entry, a little better than his breezy spy caper Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre and a little less effective than his swaggering revenge thriller Wrath of Man (both three stars, natch).

Zany caper follows Jo Hartley as a big-veg enthusiast defending her patch from elaborate ill-doings

Chaos reigns in this strange, funny and amiably anarchic mockumentary about dirty tricks in the cutthroat world of competitive marrow-growing, written and co-directed by film-maker Brook Driver. Maybe the script could have gone through another couple of drafts, but that might have removed some of the flavour. As it is, it feels like Thomas Pynchon had emailed Ricky Gervais an idea he’d had for a British comedy, and the result certainly has some laughs.

Jo Hartley (a stalwart of Shane Meadows’s movies Dead Man’s Shoes and This Is England) is Caroline, a marrow-grower and a divorcee who pretends her ex-husband is dead and is now in a kind of NSA relationship with her needy neighbour Willy (Celyn Jones); they are both mates with conspiracy theorist and fanatically competitive prize-veg enthusiast Paul (Richard Lumsden). When Caroline’s marrow is disqualified one year for having a hairline crack and then her other marrow (called Ricky Hatton because it’s such a fighter) is stolen from her garden greenhouse by masked raiders, Caroline sets out on a desperately dangerous quest to find what on earth is happening. But this involves hiring a supremely louche pair of private detectives: Louise (Aisling Bea) and Lawrence (Ray Fearon) a married couple who also run swinging parties that Caroline has attended.

Actor brought legal action against News Group Newspapers over allegations of unlawful information gathering

Hugh Grant has settled a high court claim against the publisher of the Sun newspaper over allegations of unlawful information gathering, a judge has been told.

The actor brought legal action against News Group Newspapers (NGN) in relation to the Sun, alleging he was targeted by journalists and private investigators, having previously settled a claim with the publisher in 2012 relating to the News of the World. He is among a number of individuals, including the Duke of Sussex, bringing claims against NGN.

The story of two historians unleashing evil while recording a song is a strong idea and there are good moments and performances, but it is too chaotic and unfocused to resonate

Paul Duane is the film-maker who in 2011 made Barbaric Genius , a gripping documentary portrait of ex-convict, ex-vagrant and tournament chess player John Healy, whose memoir The Grass Arena is a classic of outsider art literature. Now Duane has given us this horror film which, though it begins with interesting subversive and satirical ideas, and an interesting allusion to Guillermo del Toro, finally becomes, for me, simply too chaotic, strained and unfocused.

Anna (Simone Collins) and Aleks (Charlie Maher) are social historians who travel around remote rural pubs in Ireland, recording folk ballads; they become fascinated by rumours of an old woman who lives thereabouts who can sing a thousand-year-old song, taught over generations from mother to daughter, which has never been recorded or transcribed on paper. Asking questions about her makes locals suspicious; Anna and Aleks assure one man that they are not journalists or interested in anything “political”, but he replies darkly: “There’s nothing that’s not political …”

If you really want to know about making music, fame, exploitation, addiction, egos and challenging personalities – look to fiction. Here are our favourites

Making a movie about an iconic musician can be perilous – there are so many stakeholders with differing versions of events, and so many diehard fans looking for a perfect representation of their hero, that many music biopics end up being sanitised and glib. Look no further than Back to Black , Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Amy Winehouse biopic, for a perfect example of a film that attempts to satisfy every involved party and ended up offending a lot of fans and critics instead .

Movies about fake musicians, on the other hand, tend to have a lot more to say about making art, the struggles of fame and the music industry than most biopics. Although many of them are thinly veiled studies of real celebrities, the freedom offered by creating a character – such as Blake, the Kurt Cobain stand-in in Gus Van Sant’s Last Days – can allow for endless interrogation into the mindsets and motivations of artists. Rock mockumentaries, on the other hand, allow for the kind of true-to-life skewering of ludicrous music industry practices that could never really be shown on tape. From pop industry satires to elliptical, occasionally outright frustrating art films, here are some of the best films about fake musicians.

A tented district of Ulaanbaatar is the backdrop as a gifted student with a chance to succeed and move away finds himself having to care for his siblings

A valuable debut feature from 34-year-old Mongolian film-maker Zoljargal Purevdash, inspired by her childhood experiences of studying for a life-changing educational scholarship, as well as by the poverty-stricken tented yurt district of the capital Ulaanbaatar where her mother owned a shop and where she saw the customers’ tough lives. In the film, Purevdash has gender-switched her physics-student teen hero to a boy and evidently fictionalised her own school challenges by transplanting them to a family from just this kind of deprived background, battling against hardship and the bitter and terrible cold, yearning to be able to see out the winter by hibernating, like a bear. Unable to afford coal, kids rip up wooden planks from fences and go on illegal “logging” raids into surrounding woodland.

Nonprofessional newcomer Battsooj Uurtsaikh plays Ulzii, a 14-year-old kid living in a yurt with two boisterous siblings and a hardworking mum who may at any moment relapse into alcoholism and depression. Ulzii has an escape route from all this – although Purevdash interestingly shows us that for a 14-year-old it is not perceived as an escape route, but an extra burden of strangeness and specialness. He is brilliant at maths and physics, and his passionate teacher is urging him to go for regional and national competitions with cash prizes and university scholarships.
