  • Harrison Ford says his version of Red Hulk in Captain America Brave New World is ‘not quite a villain’


    Harrison Ford has spoken about his role as Thaddeus Ross in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, rejecting the idea that the Red Hulk should be labelled a ‘villain’.

    The 82-year-old has taken on the part once portrayed by the late William Hurt, who passed away in 2022, and Thaddeus is now the new US president.

    In one of the many released sneak peeks, President Ross can be seen addressing the nation from behind the lectern outside the White House before transforming into the monstrous Red Hulk.

    Discussing the role, Ford shared with the PA news agency: ‘Well, he’s a complicated person, and I don’t think we should quite describe him as a villain, but I think as the story unwinds you find different aspects of his character that may be of interest. And he turns into the Hulk, so there’s a complication in his life.’

    ‘It’s good to have characters that have a substance and a point of view, and I think we have a bunch of very interesting characters in this film.’

    Reflecting on the visual effects, Ford described seeing himself as Red Hulk: ‘I’ve never seen myself that way before, but it was interesting, it was fun.’

    The storyline follows Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, who has assumed the role of Captain America, as he becomes embroiled in an international incident involving Ford’s newly elected president.

    Mackie, who previously appeared as The Falcon alongside Chris Evans’ Captain America, spoke fondly of his long-standing involvement with the Marvel franchise.

    Mackie explained: ‘The fun part about it was not so much about becoming Captain America, but doing it with all of my friends and colleagues from the beginning.

    ‘These movies are a lot like summer camp. People become your family.’

    ‘Being in, now, nine of these movies, the same props guy from the first movie was my props guy on this movie, my dresser on the first movie was my dresser on this movie.

    ‘So it is just the evolution of, I’m just really proud of the evolution of the character and everybody seeing Sam for who he is.’

    You can check out Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford in Marvel Studios’ Captain America Brave New World when it lands in cinemas on February 14.





    Harrison Ford recently opened up about his upcoming role as the Red Hulk in the highly anticipated film Captain America: Brave New World. In a recent interview, Ford revealed that his version of the Red Hulk is “not quite a villain” in the traditional sense.

    Ford explained that while the Red Hulk may be seen as an antagonist in the film, there are many layers to the character that make him more complex than just a simple villain. “I think audiences will be surprised by the depth and complexity of the Red Hulk in this film,” Ford said. “He may not be a hero, but he’s definitely not just a villain either.”

  • Mark Wahlberg ‘Apologized’ to Cast After Filming “Flight Risk” Because He Was So ‘Locked Into’ Villain Role (Exclusive)


    CBC

    A man digs up an unexploded ordnance in Rafah, southern Gaza, on Wednesday. People returning to bombed areas are being taught to recognize the explosives, which could be deadly.

    While fighting in the air may have stopped in Gaza, danger remains for Palestinians returning to parts of the war-torn territory due to unexploded bombs on the ground.They blend in with the mounds of rubble and destruction. Efforts are underway in Gaza to locate and remove these bombs, starting in the southern Gaza city of Rafah — which saw some of the heaviest combat in the 15-month-long long war between Israel and Hamas. But mines advisory groups say in order to address the large amount of unexploded ordnances (UXO) left behind, a wider response is critical.For Gazans, it’s an added fear of death despite a ceasefire that has halted air and ground offensives.”We’re scared for the young ones, for our families,” said Raed Al-Akka, a 27-year-old father of three from Rafah, told CBC News”I’m scared of leaving my house and encountering a rocket that explodes on me or my wife or my children, or in the street on my neighbours … anywhere.”WATCH | Fear for kids as explosives teams remove ordnances in Rafah: With access to Gaza still limited, especially in the first stage of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, it is challenging to estimate the likely scale of contamination of explosives at this stage, said Greg Crowther, director of programmes with the Mines Advisory Group (MAG).”It’s clear that there will be a significant threat to life and a long-term barrier to reconstruction efforts,” Crowther said in an email to CBC News Friday.A ‘dangerous environment’For now, their focus is on risk education in the territory.MAG, which had helped to clear Gaza of landmines after conflicts in 2008 and 2009, partnered with Save Youth Future Society, and deployed 20 risk education teams across Gaza to teach communities how to stay safe around explosive hazards through recognizing, avoiding and reporting possible hazards. They have delivered sessions to more than 160,000 people since launching in September 2024.Crowther said that because Gaza is densely populated and highly urbanized, the use of explosive weapons has had a “particularly devastating effect.””Beyond what is visible, you also have to factor in items that have so far failed to detonate but remain hidden, putting people at risk — this creates a dangerous environment especially as people return to their home location and dig through rubble,” he said.Raed Al-Akka, a 27-year-old father of three from Rafah in southern Gaza, says he worries for his family’s safety with unexploded ordnances littered across the enclave. (Mohamed El Saife/CBC)The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) has previously warned about explosive ordnances that have become “increasingly widespread,” across the tiny coastal enclave that has been under heavy bombardment by Israel.It said its explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams have encountered aerial bombs, mortars, rockets, all-calibre projectiles, grenades and improvised explosive devices. Deep buried bombs common in GazaIn Gaza specifically, deep buried bombs are found underneath or within infrastructures and under rubble. ”As families return to their homes, we are rapidly increasing our capacity to mitigate the risk of explosive ordnance to civilians and humanitarians alike,” UNMAS said in a post on X Monday.As more Palestinians return to different parts of the Gaza Strip following the ceasefire which began Sunday, a UN damage assessment released this month showed that clearing over 50 million tonnes of rubble left in the aftermath of Israel’s bombardment could take 21 years and cost up to $1.2 billion US.Mohammed Muqdad, head of the Rafah’s explosives department, said its teams began to locate and remove the weapons in the first phase of the ceasefire.”Rafah specifically has been afflicted, the majority of the area has been destroyed,” Muqdad told CBC News Wednesday.”We have been dealing with dozens of remaining unexploded ordnances that we transport to safe areas to eventually get rid of them.”Kids being taught to recognize the weaponsSo far, the teams have completed more than 120 calls to remove UXOs, working each day since Sunday.”The team is continuing to work on further removing other ordnances from residential areas,” he said. “We’re doing as much as we can to lift and remove [them].”Muqdad said the teams have removed bombs that are used in aircraft, such as MK, GBU 39, cannon and tank bombs, but require special technical equipment to clear the much larger explosives.Authorities have asked residents to stay away from certain areas that are dangerous and believed to have a large number of these devices.Mohammed Muqdad said the teams have removed bombs that are used in aircrafts, like MK, GBU 39, cannon and tank bombs, but require special technical equipment to clear the much larger ordnances. (Mohamed El Saife/CBC)Some ordnances, such as smaller explosives that are ejected from cluster munitions, may not look like ordinary threats to children at first, which can be a danger.Crowther said children also participate in the risk education sessions to be aware of the types of weapons used in the war.”It’s especially important to share this information with them, as their natural curiosity can put them at greater risk of injury should they come across explosive weapons and simply assume they are toys,” he said.Al-Akka called on experts to remove the explosives.”So we can take our freedom and go to our homes, remove the rubble and sit in our homes,” Al-Akka said.”We’ve seen enough martyrs and bloodshed in the war.”Limited co-ordination, capability in GazaCrowther said explosive threat assessments and survey activities in addition to technical equipment must be expanded to allow for a wider humanitarian response. ”There is currently limited co-ordination and capability to carry out these activities, both in terms of the technical equipment required, and the number of qualified personnel that are currently in Gaza,” Crowther said.More than 47,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the 15-month war, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. Due to the chaos of war, verifying the exact number of casualties has been challenging and subject to scrutiny. Unexploded ordnances seen on top of rubble in Rafah, Gaza, on Wednesday. (Mohamed El Saife/CBC)The coastal enclave has been largely demolished by Israel’s military following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. That assault killed 1,200 people with around 250 hostages taken into Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Some 94 Israelis and foreigners remain held in Gaza. It is unclear how many are alive. The Palestinian Civil Defence said it is searching for an estimated 10,000 bodies believed to be remaining under the rubble.A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet on Jan. 9 suggests that the official figures of deaths in Gaza may be significantly underestimated. On June 30, 2024, the Gaza Health Ministry reported 37,877 deaths; the study estimated the number was likely around 64,200 by that date.



    Mark Wahlberg ‘Apologized’ to Cast After Filming “Flight Risk” Because He Was So ‘Locked Into’ Villain Role (Exclusive)

    After completing filming, Wahlberg realized the toll that embodying such a complex character had taken on him and those around him. Feeling the need to address any potential tension or discomfort he may have caused, Wahlberg gathered the cast together to express his apologies.

    Despite the challenges he faced while portraying the antagonist in “Flight Risk,” Wahlberg expressed gratitude for the opportunity to push himself as an actor and explore new depths in his craft.

  • Marvel Rivals community wants this popular villain to be added in-game


    Marvel Rivals is stacked with incredible comic book characters. Many of these heroes such as Iron Man, Hulk, and Wolverine, are rather mainstream and perhaps therefore, popular. However, the Marvel Universe has many interesting characters who can be added to the game, and some community members hope that the next addition is none other than Taskmaster.

    Taking to Reddit, u/Japanese_inspired shared concept art portraying Taskmaster in Marvel Rivals. The user compared the character to other hooded characters such as Moon Knight and Cloak:

    “I’ve never wanted a character more until this Taskmaster concept”

    The post went viral after being uploaded on January 24, 2025. It received over 5,000 upvotes and over 200 comments. Redditor u/Mylaststory even proposed an ability that could work with Taskmaster’s character from the comics:

    “He could have a parry ability. If timed correctly he could fire back an ability that was used on him. Make him a high risk high reward character.”

    Meanwhile, u/TheTrazynTheInfinite suggested that Taskmaster in Marvel Rivals should borrow his skills from other heroes such as Captain America, Magik, and perhaps even Iron Fist:

    “I’ve been saying that we need taskmaster since I started playing this game, make him a hybrid between Magik. Cap and maybe a smidgen of iron fist”

    This suggestion makes sense since the character’s primary ability is copying other heroes. However, not all the comments were in favor of the character being added. In fact, u/DadlyQueer believed it was nigh impossible to incorporate Taskmaster into the game.

    Finally, u/iamdroogie believed that a character like Taskmaster just wouldn’t work in a hero shooter. The user found the concept attractive and yet, impractical.

    Over January 2025, a plethora of leaked heroes appeared online as data miners attempted to predict upcoming characters in Marvel Rivals. Many of these heroes are X-Men members such as Professor X, Nightcrawler, Colossus, as well as Jean Grey or Pheonix.

    Apart from them, names such as Deadpool, Hit-Monkey, and Blade have also been revealed. However, it recently came to light that Marvel Rivals developers may be hiding fake hero names in the game files. This could have been done to ward off data miners trying to leak information.

    As of writing, no confirmations have been given regarding the release of most of these leaked characters.
