Ryan Reynolds

The idea of a 'Home Alone' re-boot is enough to make anybody cringe; some things ought to just stay in the 90s.

In fairness, Macaulay Culkin has actually turned into the perfect actor for this kind of reboot, but we're sure producers will choose the right person for the job even if he doesn't become involved again. 'Stoned Alone' essentially follows the same plot as the 'Home Alone' series, but instead of a 10-year-old boy being forced to defend his home from thieves, it's a 20-something stoner.

Asked about LGBTQ+ representation and what he thinks the future of that should be within his movie universe, Reynolds replied: "I certainly think that this universe... needs to represent and reflect the world in very real ways. The great thing about 'Deadpool' is that we're allowed to do things that other superhero movies don't necessarily do. It's something that I'd love to see more of, certainly through Wade, certainly through this universe because it's something that we're building out more."

Mark Strong has revealed the scripts on 'Shazam!' have encrypted technology which makes the text disappear if you stop reading for ''20 seconds''.

The 54-year-old English actor is to play villain Doctor Sivana in the DC Extended Universe movie about teenage boy Billy Baston who can transform into adult superhero Captain Marvel when he utters the word which is the film's title.

Sandberg's project as he knows how guarded comic book films are because he played Sinestro in the panned Ryan Reynolds-led 'Green Lantern', and he admits he was desperate to return to the DC universe due to the reception the 2011 Warner Bros.
