Dark Phoenix Final Trailer is Here! - ComingSoon.net

Dark Phoenix Final Trailer is Here!

20th Century Fox has released the Dark Phoenix final trailer as one of X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, evolves into the iconic Dark Phoenix. Check out the trailer now in the player below.

In Dark Phoenix, the X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

Watch the final trailer for X-Men: Dark Phoenix - The Verge

20th Century Fox has released the final trailer for the upcoming (and likely final) installment of its X-Men franchise, Dark Phoenix, showing off Jean Grey’s struggles to contain the vast powers she acquires after an accident in space.

The film is adapting the classic Dark Phoenix storyline, first published in the 1980s, in which mutant Jean Grey is struck by a solar flare and transformed, returning to earth as the Phoenix, a being of pure thought. We’ve seen a couple of trailers for the film that show off this transformation for the film’s titular character (played by Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner) and how the X-Men struggle to contain her powers.

This new trailer twists what we’ve seen so far, showing how Jean struggles with her new abilities. The team is dispatched on a rescue mission in space after a shuttle accident (a Dark Phoenix / Gravity mashup video seems inevitable), and after the solar flare, Jean is left behind to be transformed. She returns home and deals with suspicion as she begins to realize that she’s changed. “When I lose control, bad things happen,” she says, but “it feels good.” It looks as though that leads to a showdown between the X-Men who want to save her, and Magneto who wants to eliminate her as a threat.

The film is likely going to be the final installment in the long-running X-Men franchise following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox earlier this year. The merger will bring together the two sets of properties, which have famously been separated as Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken off. What that future looks like remains to be seen, but it’s widely expected that the X-Men appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point. Hopefully, Dark Phoenix will be a good send-off for the series.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix will hit theaters on June 7th.

Lori Loughlin felt she had 'no choice' but to plead not guilty - CNN

Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded not guilty Monday to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Each of the charges is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Here's how the 33 wealthy parents have pleaded in the college admissions scam

"Lori doesn't understand why she's getting so much criticism for pleading not guilty," the source said. "People must not realize that she had no choice. The plea deal has been taken off the table, and this is the only way they've been told she and Mossimo can avoid jail time and get another plea (deal). They are hoping justice will prevail."

However, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told CNN last week that neither Loughlin nor her husband have engaged in substantial plea discussions. And the same source has said prosecutors will be seeking jail time for every defendant, regardless of their plea.

Prosecutors say Loughlin and Giannulli paid $500,000 to a fake charity to get their two daughters accepted into the University of Southern California, falsely designating them as crew team recruits.

"She is focused on repairing her relationship with (her daughter) Olivia," the source added. "Things are very tense."

Loughlin is among 15 other wealthy parents who did not initially plead guilty in the federal investigation and were slapped with the secondary charge of conspiring to launder bribes and other payments to Rick Singer, the mastermind behind the scam, in a superseding indictment earlier this month.

Actress Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 to facilitate cheating for her daughter on the SATs. In a statement, she expressed "deep regret and shame over what I have done." She has a plea hearing set for May 21 in federal court in Boston, prosecutors said on Twitter.

Despite Loughlin being dropped from her Netflix TV show "Fuller House" and multiple shows on the Hallmark Channel, including "When Calls The Heart," she is still hoping that she has a future in Hollywood following the scandal.

"(Lori) is hoping she can move past this and get back to work and doing what she loves," the source said.

CORRECTION: This story has been updated to correct the date of Felicity Huffman's plea hearing.

Beyoncé Dropped A Live Coachella Album Along With The "Homecoming" Netflix Documentary - BuzzFeed News

As you've probably heard (and hopefully watched) a thousand times already, Beyoncé on Wednesday dropped "Homecoming," a Netflix documentary about her show-stopping Coachella 2018 performance.

But did she stop there? Nope. She also surprise-dropped a live album of the entire performance.

And it's not just on Tidal — it's on ALL. STREAMING. PLATFORMS. (Yes, that includes Spotify.)

The album combines music from both Coachella shows, including all the interludes and the performances by Destiny's Child, J Balvin, and Jay Z.

In addition to Beyoncé's live performance of the Black National Anthem "Lift Every Voice And Sing," it also includes a special guest track — a previously unreleased live version of Blue Ivy singing the same song.

Following a round of applause and praise from her mom, Blue excitedly says, "I wanna do that again, because it feels good!"

Beyoncé closes out the album with one new studio track — a cover of 1981 song "Before I Let Go" by Maze.

As Variety noted, Destiny's Child previously recorded an unreleased version of the same song.

The Hive is in disbelief to have been blessed with a new album at the same time as the doc.

Like, what else could she have in store??

Beyoncé's Netflix Documentary Gets Real About How Demanding Her Coachella Performance Actually Was - BuzzFeed News

Today, Beyoncé blessed us all and dropped her highly-anticipated Netflix documentary, Homecoming.

The documentary is based around Beyoncé's instantly iconic 2018 Coachella performance — rightfully nicknamed Beychella — and gives an incredibly intimate look at what was going on behind-the-scenes in the lead up to the show.

As you can probably imagine, things weren't as glamorous as they looked on stage. In fact, Bey got real AF about how tough things were considering she was a new mom, to twins no less, and it all sounds pretty damn exhausting.

"I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior, but I got pregnant unexpectedly," Beyoncé opened up. "It ended up being twins, which was even more of a surprise. My body went through more than I knew it could."

And the pregnancy wasn't without its complications. Bey revealed that by the time she gave birth, she was 218 pounds and had suffered from high blood pressure, toxemia, and preeclampsia. Even more terrifying, she also revealed that one of the twins' heartbeats "paused a few times" which led to an emergency C-section.

Beyoncé also opened up about her pregnancy complications in an essay published in Vogue last year.

So, when Beyoncé finally gave birth and got back into rehearsals for Coachella, things were tough. "I had to rebuild my body from cut muscles," she said while footage of rehearsals played. "There were days that I thought, you know, I'd never be the same. I'd never be the same physically, my strength and endurance would never be the same."

Being a mom to six-year-old Blue Ivy and newborn twins Rumi and Sir Carter was also playing on Beyoncé's mind throughout the rehearsal period, as she admitted: "My mind wanted to be with my children. What people don't see is the sacrifice."

She continued that in between rehearsals, she would go back to her trailer to breastfeed the twins and would try to have all three of her kids on set as often as possible. "It was a lot to juggle," she said on the subject. "It's not like before when I could rehearse 15 hours straight. I have children, I have a husband. I have to take care of my body."

To add to the list of sacrifices she made, Beyoncé also included footage of her working and rehearsing on the night of her anniversary.

The couple made up for it though, as it appears Bey and Jay renewed their wedding vows at some point last year.

On top of all the Coachella preparation, Beyoncé was also trying to get her pre-pregnancy body back, revealing that in the lead up to Coachella, her diet consisted of "no bread, no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol".

And if you thought rehearsals just required Beyoncé to show up and dance a little, you'd be very mistaken as she later revealed just how involved with the entire performance she was.

I'm super specific about every detail. I personally selected each dancer, every light, the material on the steps, the height of the pyramid, the shape of the pyramid, every patch was hand sewn. Every tiny detail had an intention.

But I think everybody can agree that it was all worth it in the end. Beychella was flawless from start to finish and will surely go down as one of Coachella's best performances of all time. In short, Beyoncé did that, and God only knows what she'll do next.

Spoilers For Avengers: Endgame Have Leaked, Be Careful Online - GameSpot

Bad news, Marvel fans: the ending for Avengers: Endgame has leaked online. As a result, it might be a good idea to go on high alert and take the necessary actions to try and defend against spoilers. We recommend muting Avengers-related hashtags on Twitter and to be generally extra mindful of social media. If you can't stay offline for the next 10 days, and need any other tips to remain unspoiled, we've compiled a list of actions that you can take to give yourself a better chance of avoiding the spoilers.

Endgame hits cinemas in Australia on April 24 and comes to the United States on April 26, so the leak comes about 10 days before the film's release. Spoilers are always a concern, but the profile is higher with Endgame considering the dramatic conclusion to Infinity War where Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the galaxy.

In the time since the Endgame leak, the Marvel subreddit has gone on lockdown. The moderators have confirmed this is temporary, while they sift through posts and ensure that there's nothing that could ruin the experience for eager fans. "Spoilers are bad. We strive to keep this community spoiler-free, and due to recent events, we must take these measures to ensure that," reads a post on the subreddit.

"Until we are more satisfied with our filter's ability to weed out the influx of new spoilers, all posts will be subject to approval. This shouldn't last too long. If your post is removed, is NOT a spoiler, and not approved within a reasonable time, message one of the mods and we will help you out. Also feel free to message us if you have any other questions concerning this."

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have also issued a response to the Avengers: Endgame spoilers leak. In an open letter shared on Marvel Studios' official Instagram and Twitter accounts with the hashtag #DontSpoilTheEndgame, the duo said they "have worked tirelessly for the last three years with the sole intention of delivering a surprising and emotionally powerful conclusion to the Infinity Saga."

They continued: "Because so many of you have invested your time, your hearts, and your souls into these stories, we're once again asking for your help. When you see Endgame in the coming weeks, please don't spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn't want it spoiled for you. Remember, Thanos still demands your silence."

Endgame is believed to wrap up more than 10 years worth of Marvel Cinematic Universe storytelling that began back in 2008 with the original Iron Man. The film marks the end of the MCU Phase 3. Marvel is expected to provide the first details on Phase 4 after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home in July, so keep checking back for that.

Ahead of that, Disney and Marvel have released a new Endgame trailer. This one celebrates the journey so far, giving each character that has been pivotal to getting us where we are some time in the spotlight, so fans can reminisce.

Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Brie Larson, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Danai Gurira, Paul Rudd, and Josh Brolin star in Endgame. Tickets went on sale last week, and so far presales have far exceeded those for Captain Marvel, Infinity War, Aquaman, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi combined.
