Damson Idris fuels speculation over 'Black Panther 3' casting

Rumours surrounding the casting for 'Black Panther 3' have been circulating, with Damson Idris at the centre of speculation.
When questioned about potential talks with Marvel Studios for a role in the upcoming film, Idris playfully responded with "yes-no" during an appearance on NBC's Today show, as per Deadline.
Idris's response has sparked debate, with co-anchor Craig Melvin interpreting it as a "yes."
However, Idris teased, "It could mean no." When asked about accepting the role if offered, Idris gave a definitive "yes," as quoted by Deadline.
Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of T'Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) left a lasting impact before his passing in August 2020.
The franchise has continued, with Letitia Wright's Shuri taking on the heroic title in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.'
Recent reports obtained by Deadline suggest Marvel might recast T'Challa or introduce his son, Toussaint, who is played by a new actor.
Denzel Washington revealed he's being considered for a role in 'Black Panther 3,' with director Ryan Coogler confirming he's writing a part for the actor.
Coogler expressed his dedication to the franchise, sharing he'll continue working on 'Black Panther' films as long as fans will have him.
As per Deadline, Marvel producer Nate Moore clarified that no decisions have been made regarding the future of T'Challa or 'Black Panther 3,' with Coogler yet to start working on the film.

Elio movie review: All smiles, and then some

Elio movie review: Pixar's latest is the staple story of an orphaned child, only this time it doesn't just have him rediscovering his family right at home but also finding one across the universe. It isn't exactly a voyage into the unknown, but it's not a wasted ride either. The titular Elio (Kibreab) is grieving the loss of his parents and proving a handful for his aunt Olga (Saldana) when he catches a presentation on the Voyager, the spaceship that has gone further than any and is still on its journey more than 45 years after its launch. Elio particularly latches on to its message that 'We may not be alone' and goes on to try everything he can to get the aliens to 'abduct' him, including scrawling the message on sand. Given that Olga is an aspiring astronaut working on a space base, the inevitable is close at hand, and somehow Elio gets beamed up. ALSO READ: Sitaare Zameen Par movie review: Aamir Khan delivers fully committed performance in heart-winning comedy The place where he lands is a kaleidoscope of luminescent colour, with creatures floating on their own or on what look like petals, having created a world called 'Communiverse', inhabited by 'the most brilliant minds of the universe'. They presume Elio is one such and is 'the leader of Planet Earth'. Elio, not really inclined to dispel the notion, soon finds himself swept into the conflict between this peaceful world and Lord Grigon (Garrett), who calls himself the Blood Emperor and is a metal-and-menace Marvel-lite creation. Too many complications happen next, including cloning, and the themes the animation explores may be lost on children. Elio does strike a friendship with Grigon's son Glordon (a wonderful Edgerly), but this too loses its way in the chaos unfolding between the many worlds. Glordon's apprehension that he is a disappointment to his ferocious father is ultimately the film's sweetest. He seizes with glee Elio's ploy to make him a 'bargaining chip' against his father. 'All I have ever been called till now is a liability, a burden,' Glordon says cheerfully. Carl Sagan's words ring out more than once in Elio. The search for alien life, he said, touches 'the deepest of human concerns' – 'Are we alone?' Often, we don't have to look so far. Elio movie cast: Voices of Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldana, Remy Edgerly, Brad Garrett, Shirley Henderson Elio movie directors: Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi Elio movie rating: 3 stars
