Danny DeVito makes shocking admission about ‘lusting after' Michelle Pfeiffer
Danny DeVito made a shocking admission about his former co-star Michelle Pfeiffer. The 80-year-old confided in Collin Farrell for Variety's Actors on Actors series, published Monday, that he 'lusted after' the Scarface star while working with her in Batman Returns.
'She was a goddess,' DeVito said of Pfeiffer while discussing the actresses who played Catwoman alongside him and Farrell in their respective Batman films. Both veteran actors played the iconic villain Penguin, aka Oswald Cobblepot - DeVito in Tim Burton's 1992 film and Farrell in Matt Reeves' The Batman.
Farrell shared that he did a 'couple of scenes' with Zoë Kravitz, who played Catwoman in the 2022 film. 'She was wonderful,' he added. Meanwhile, DeVito gushed over Pfeiffer, saying, 'If I knew she was going to be in a scene that day… I got all flushed.'
The Man on the Moon star joked that he would 'put extra makeup on — 'Give me another pound of makeup.' It was very difficult.' When Farrell asked what it was like working with Pfeiffer, DeVito said, 'Just so wonderful. And I lusted after her.'
'We're moving on from your lust. Just tell me what form did the lust take, behaviorally?' Farrell quipped, to which the Dumbo star remarked, 'It was Oswald [his character] that was lustful.'
When the Thirteen Lives actor asked if Pfeiffer was 'nervous' working with him and if she called security, DeVito joked, 'I kind of feel like she liked it. She liked Oswald.' Elsewhere in the interview, the duo discussed method acting.
'Did you take it home with you at all? If a character you're playing is having very extreme thoughts, emotions, behaviors, it doesn't come home at all?' Farrell asked. DeVito said, 'No, I go home to Rhea [Perlman] and the kids,' adding, 'I played some really despicable characters; you've got to shed that.'

Will Robert Pattinson's Batman Join The DC Universe? James Gunn Has The Answer
Last Updated: James Gunn mentioned that there is a small chance that Robert Pattinson's Batman could join the bigger DC world someday. James Gunn has confirmed that the next Batman movie with Robert Pattinson is still happening, despite rumours of its cancellation. He shared that director Matt Reeves is busy writing the script for the sequel. This Batman story is separate from the main DC Universe (DCU). Gunn added that there is a small chance this version of the Caped Crusader could join the bigger DC world someday. At the same time, DC Studios is working on another Batman film called The Brave and the Bold, which will be part of Gunn's DC Universe. The filmmaker is working closely with the writer to make sure this new Batman has a strong role, instead of being silly. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Gunn said, 'I would never say zero, because you just never know. But it's not likely. It's not likely at all. I'll also say Batman Part II is not cancelled. That's the other thing I hear all the time — that Batman Part II is cancelled. It's not cancelled. We don't have a script. Matt's slow. Let him take his time. Let him do what he's doing. God, people are mean. Let him do his thing, man." 'Batman's my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally. And it's not, I'm not writing Batman, but I am working with the writer of Batman and trying to get it right, because he's incredibly important to DC, as is Wonder Woman. So, outside of the stuff that I'm doing in the projects that are actively going, our two priorities are finishing our Wonder Woman and our Batman scripts," James Gunn explained. Confirming that The Batman script is still called The Brave and the Bold, Gunn said that the movie won't be made just because he's a popular character. The filmmaker explained that there has to be a proper reason for Batman to exist in the DC Universe. This version will be different from Robert Pattinson's Batman, as Gunn made it clear that he isn't interested in showing a funny or over the top Dark Knight. Instead, he wants a serious story that fits well into his films. Although fans will have to wait longer to see Batman return to theatres, James Gunn is getting ready to launch the new DC Universe with Superman. The film stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the villain Lex Luthor. It is set to hit cinemas on July 11. First Published:

Here Is Why Simone Ashley's Role In F1 Did Not Make It To The Final Cut
In the sports drama F1, Simone Ashley was cast in an important supporting role and the announcement of her being a part of the film was made last year. Simone Ashley's character in the upcoming sports drama F1 was expected to be her big breakthrough role. In an unexpected development, it has now emerged that her entire role has been edited out of the film. Joseph Kosinski, the director of the Brad Pitt starrer, revealed that her role did not make it to the final cut. During the same chat, he also expressed his wish to work with the actress again. In an interview with People, Joseph Kosinski said, 'It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make it into the final cut." Further, the filmmaker lauded Simone, calling her 'an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer." Moving ahead, he also expressed his wish to collaborate with Simone again as he added, 'I would love to work with her again." Simone Ashley's popularity skyrocketed after her role in Netflix shows Sex Education and Bridgerton. In the sports drama F1, she was cast in an important supporting role and the announcement of her being a part of the film was made last year. However, the first teaser and trailer of the film had no glimpses of Simone and fans were quick to notice her absence. In July 2024, Variety confirmed Simone Ashley's involvement in Joseph Kosinski's F1. The actress was spotted shooting at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit in Northampton, England and the details about her role in the film were under wraps. Earlier this year, in May, Simone Ashley spoke to Elle about her experience of working in the most anticipated film. She said, 'I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie. I got to experience many Grand Prix. I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again." While it seems Simone Ashley will not be seen in FI, the actress is yet to comment on the development. Set against the thrilling backdrop of Formula One, the high-octane drama will be released in theatres on June 27.

Bad Bunny Asks Fans To Lower Their Expectation For His Tour: ‘I'm Not Taylor Swift'
Last Updated: Unlike Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, Bad Bunny will not pay tribute to all of his albums in his upcoming tour. Bad Bunny is gearing up to kick off his much-awaited world tour in November this year. Following the release of his sixth album, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, the Puerto Rican singer is going on an all-stadium world tour. Before welcoming his fans, the singer compared himself with Taylor Swift and asked fans to keep their expectations low. During an interview with Variety, Bad Bunny referred to the Eras Tour and stated that unlike Taylor Swift, he would not be able to pay tribute to all of his albums. He further revealed that his tour would not be as organised as the Grammy-winning singers. 'First of all, I'm not Taylor Swift," the singer stated, asking his fans to not expect a tour like Taylor's Eras Tour. 'It's not going to be organised that way. It's very much a tour for Debi, with some older songs sprinkled in." The 31-year-old singer further clarified that there would be no concert films like the Eras Tour Movie, but they would shoot the concert solely for the memories, as the singer's main aim is to create memories and share emotions with the fans. Bad Bunny's highly anticipated world tour is on its way to breaking records as he sold tickets worth 2.6 million USD across shows in Latin America, Europe and Australia. His upcoming world tour is set to kick off on November 21 in the Dominican Republic, and after that he will make stops in Costa Rica and Mexico in December before resuming in January in Latin American countries. By the end of February, the singer is expected to conclude his shows in Brazil and Australia for the first time ever and make his concert debut in Japan by the end of March. Between May and July, the singer is expected to tour Europe, making stops in Portugal, Spain, Germany, France and other countries. Before embarking on his extensive world tour, Bad Bunny is set to perform a 30-date residency in Puerto Rico. The performance at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot is expected to draw an estimated 250,000 fans to the island. First Published:
