OHMYGOSSIP — Julia Roberts doesn’t think ‘Pretty Woman’ could get made today.
The 51-year-old actress shot to fame as sex worker Vivian Ward opposite Richard Gere as wealthy businessman Edward Lewis in the 1990 romantic comedy and though she doesn’t think it’s appropriate for current times, she doesn’t believe it should stop people enjoying the movie now.
She said: “I don’t really think you could make that movie now, right? So many things you could poke a hole in, but I don’t think it takes away from people being able to enjoy it.”
Julia landed the part after at least eight other actors turned it down and she believes landing such a big break is always more down to luck than talent.
She told the Guardian newspaper: “It really is not a measure of talent, particularly in the beginning. It’s a measure of good fortune – and being able to have your wits about you enough to make something out of that good fortune.”
The actress confessed she also came close to turning down another of her most famous roles, Anna Scott from ‘Notting Hill’,
She said: “I did not want to do that movie. The pitch of it sounds awful, right? Do you want to come and play the world’s biggest movie star and then fall in love with the bookshop owner? No!”
But despite her misgivings, Julia still met with the filmmakers and got on with them so well, she signed up for the film.
She said: “I, you know … And it’s this great little jewel of a movie.”
Julia also recalled how difficult she had found having to “slap” her ‘Mystic Pizza’ co-star Annabeth Gish in a scene and admitted it took weeks for their relationship to “recover”.
She said: “I just remember in ‘Mystic Pizza’, I had to slap Annabeth Gish, which I did not want to do, and it was so hard to actually slap a person.
“And I felt it took weeks for us to recover from that. Both of us. I was so wracked with guilt, and I think she felt so … slapped.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Johansson had to be “cut out and resewed” into her dress every time she needed to pee at a red carpet event.
The ‘Avengers: Endgame’ star actress suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction shortly before she was due to step out in public so had to limit the amount she drank over the course of the evening to minimise her trips to the bathroom.
She told America’s Vogue magazine: “Right before I got on the red carpet, my entire dress split open and then every time I had to pee, I had to get cut out of the dress and resewed into it. So yeah, not a lot of fluids that night.”
The 34-year-old actress has seen a lot of “bad” tattoos featuring her ‘Avengers’ likeness of Black Widow and she’s always baffled to find they look more like Jeremy Renner’s character Hawkeye than her.
She said: “I’ve definitely seen a lot of bad Avengers tattoos and for some reason, mine always look like my face looks more like Jeremy Renner than Jeremy Renner’s face. I don’t know why. I guess we look alike?”
Scarlett also confessed she’d happily share a second screen kiss with her ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ co-star Penelope Cruz.
Asked who she’d lock lips with again, she said: “I would go round two with Penélope Cruz. Hey P.”
While Scarlett has seen some bad ‘Avengers’ tattoos, she herself has an inking in honour of the franchise which matches designs her co-stars Chris Evans (Captain America), Jeremy, Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) had of the Avengers symbol alongside the number six.
The inking marks them as the six original ‘Avengers’ – alongside Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), who chose not to get inked – and is there to serve as a reminder of their 10 year stint with Marvel.
Jeremy wrote on Instagram: “Well team, we did it…? Thank you @joshualord for sharing ink with us all @avengers much love #eastsideink #bondedforlife @robertdowneyjr @chrishemsworth #chrisevans #scarjo #loveUall. (sic)”
The 47-year-old actor also shared a video of him getting a tattoo, captioning it: “Brave man to allow all the @avengers the opportunity to ink. @joshualord what a killer day @robertdowneyjr @chrishemsworth#scarjo #chrisevans #avengersunited#eastsideink #hidethenerves. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rachel Riley is learning Russian for her boyfriend Pasha Kovalev.
The ‘Countdown’ co-presenter is studying the language for the 39-year-old Latin and ballroom dancer – who this year announced he was leaving ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – so she can converse with him in his native tongue and the first words she ever practised saying was “give me a kiss”.
Making an appearance on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’, she revealed said: “I am learning Russian, I’m doing it with an online app, it’s really homemade with Clip Art from the 90s to explain stuff. It teaches you how kids learn. My spelling is absolutely appalling but you pick it up as you go. The first thing I learnt was [the Russian for] ‘Give me a kiss’ and then from the app you learn things like, ‘I open the window with a crowbar.’ ”
Rachel – who met Pasha when she was partnered with him on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2013 – is motivated to learn the language because she found it “disconcerting” when she couldn’t understand what Pasha’s friends were talking about when they all hung out together.
Rachel, 33, said: “Pasha’s friends are mostly Russian and they were brought up in Soviet Russia and now they’ve come to mostly the States. We go on holiday with them and his mum and his brother as well. The first time I met the boys, I spoke no Russian at all. It’s really disconcerting, a bunch of thirty-something boys talking and giggling and drinking and I have no idea what they’re talking about.”
The television brain box also added that pair’s mothers bond by watching cat videos together as Pasha’s mum does not speak English and Rachel’s mum does not speak any Russian.
She said: “We’ve had them together on holiday and the mums just get together and they just look at cat videos on YouTube. The universal language of cat videos.”
‘The Jonathan Ross Show’ airs on Saturday (15.03.19) at 9.30pm on ITV.

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Mays “loves” appearing in projects that “ask questions” and “spark debate”.
The 40-year-old actor – who recently tied the knot with his long-time partner Louisa Burton – has admitted he seeks out TV shows that are thought-provoking for viewers, such as his role as Colin Parry, the father of a son who is killed by the IRA in the Warrington bomb attacks in 1993, in last year’s BBC Two drama ‘Mother’s Day’.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, he said: “I love being involved in projects which look at the world we live in, society around us, sparking debate, asking questions.”
And the British star also insisted that he usually depicts “bad people” on screen, which couldn’t be further from his real-life character as he insisted he is actually very “placid”.
He added: “I’m a very placid human being. I don’t want to kill anyone. I guess I have played a lot of bad people in my career, so frustrations or angst can come out in any given role.”
The ‘Line of Duty’ star also admitted that he owes his curiosity of “investigation” to filmmaker Mike Leigh, who cast him as an abusive thug in 2002 film ‘All or Nothing’.
He admitted: “I love that element of investigating something. That all comes from Mike Leigh – trying to find a hook, trying to find little nuggets of information you can apply.
“And it’s about just saturating yourself in whatever world you’re in. Something will instinctively come out, whether it’s a gesture or a mannerism. It’s about being specific.
“I don’t know if it’s a level of commitment to things. I can remember Mike Leigh saying to me: ‘The thing I love about you, Danny, is its no holds barred. You just throw yourself straight into it.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Tina’ has released ‘The Hunter’ as the second single from the musical’s upcoming original London cast recording.
The new rendition of the track – which was originally released as by Ike & Tina Turner in 1969 – has been reworked for the stage show, with Ike actor Kobna Holdbrook-Smith taking the lead on the classic R&B hit.
Nicholas Skilbeck – the production’s Arrangements, Additional Music and Musical Supervisor – said: “We repositioned the song to be performed by Ike Turner (Koba Holdbrook-Smith) and The Kings of Rhythm live at Club Mountain in St. Louis in the 1950, showcasing Ike’s musical genius and his role in creating the sound of tomorrow.
“When recording, the idea was to give this song a vintage quality but as though it had never been heard before.”
The full soundtrack album – which was recorded at Angel Studios in February – will be available on March 29.
Tina herself previously approved of Kobna’s casting as her late ex-husband Ike – who she accused of abusing her and controlling her life – but admitted seeing their marriage played out will bring up bad memories of the past.
She said: “It might be painful having to watch him on stage. but I know he’s being played by an actor and he can’t hurt me.”
Tina worked closely with the musical’s team ahead of its launch at London’s Aldwych Theatre in April last year, and the production is set to return there in 2019.
Meanwhile, leading star Adrienne Warren – who plays Tina on the West End – is set to recreate her role on Broadway later this year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sadie Jemmett “didn’t imagine” her song ‘Don’t Silence Me’ would have such a “massive impact” on so many people.
The singer/songwriter penned the track to support her friend, Mhairi Morrisson, after she confided in her about being sexually assaulted by a French movie director several years ago, and after the video – which features 40 women who have made high-profile allegations of sexual assault – premiered earlier this month, Sadie was stunned to find over 30,000 people have viewed the clip.
She said: “This is a protest song about sexual assault, I wrote it because I wanted to reach out to my friend, Mhairi Morrisson, and let her know that she wasn’t alone in her pain. I did not imagine, when I wrote the song, the massive impact it would have on so many people. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this campaign in any way. Let’s keep getting the message out there!”
Sadie was keen for the song to help Mhairi “find her voice” again and take back control of her life.
She explained: “I felt that my friend needed help to find her voice again so that she could come though this and tell her story, and so I wrote her a song: ‘Don’t Silence Me’, to remind her that she had a voice and that she was in control of it.”
The video – which was directed by Jenn Page – premiered in Hollywood on March 4 at Nickelodeon Studios and was attended by 100 VIP guests, including many of the women who appeared in the video.
Sadie Jemmett’s single, ‘Don’t Silence Me’, is out now. Visit www.dontsilencemetoo.com for more information.

OHMYGOSSIP — Leigh-Anne Pinnock used to search for online abuse from racist trolls when Little Mix
The 27-year-old pop star – who sings in the girl group alongside Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards – became obsessed about people thought about her and would actively look for negative comments about herself by writing “the black girl in Little Mix” into Google but “regrets” doing that now she is more confident in herself.
In an interview with Glamour, she said: “I’m not going to lie, the first three years of being in the group, I would look for trolls. I would search Leigh-Anne. I would look through Twitter and I would search Leigh-Anne from Little Mix, the black girl in Little Mix, I would put these things in my search engines just to see the comments.
“I regret doing that so much but I’m here now and I feel so much stronger and I don’t feel like that anymore and I don’t do that anymore. I don’t look for it. I want to be someone who got through that. She was that person and now I’m so proud of who I am and it’s such a good feeling.”
Little Mix were put together on the 2011 series of UK talent show ‘The X Factor’ in 2011 and became the first group to win the talent show.
Although their first album ‘DNA’ was a major hit and they followed it up with 2013’s equally impressive ‘Salute’, Leigh-Anne felt “invisible” during the early years of the group.
She said: “For the first three years of getting thrown into this crazy world I was still working out where I fitted in. It was a weird feeling because I did feel invisible. I didn’t know why I felt like that and it took me a bit of time to actually process it.”
The ‘Salute’ hitmaker was wary of speaking out about race issues or feminist issues because she didn’t want to upset any of the band’s fans or the team working behind them.
She said: “I think there were some reservations because I was scared to say the wrong thing. I didn’t want to offend anyone … But I’m really happy I did because it’s only going to help people and it’s opening the conversation and making people feel braver to speak about it themselves. It’s so important to speak up on these issues because the more people that do, the more change is going to happen. I have got the most incredible fan base who pick me up and we do it for them. This is why we do what we do. They are our fans and they are the best.”
And now Leigh-Anne couldn’t be more proud to be a black woman making it big in the music industry.
She said: “Do not let anything hold you back – especially the colour of your skin, that’s ridiculous and it shouldn’t be anything to hold you back. If anything, I’m now so proud of my skin. You literally have to go for it. I never let anyone tell me anything growing up and I knew I wanted to be a singer. I would say to every single person that entered my life, ‘I’m going to be a singer, I’m going to be on billboards and I’m going to smash it!’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicki Minaj’s boyfriend Kenneth Petty has pleaded guilty to driving on a suspended license.
According to TMZ, the 41 year old – who has been romancing the 36-year-old rapper since December when the pair became Instagram official – pled guilty in New York to aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and will subsequently have to pay $88 in fines as well as clearing his licence.
A police officer witnessed Kenneth fail to stop at a stop sign at around 1:30am on September 13 in Long Island, and when he was pulled over, the cops discovered he was driving on a an illegal license.
The news of Kenneth’s legal woes comes after Nicki recently revealed that she refers to her beau as her “husband”, sparking speculation they had married.
Speaking on her ‘Queen Radio’ show on Apple Music Beats1 Radio about her relationship, she said: “Every night when I get out of the shower, my husband takes this really good lotion that we just bought and he massages my feet and rubs them. He rubs each toe individually, and the heel and the ball of my foot – he does it all.”
Nicki also praised Kenneth for making her feel “empowered”, and said she is in the “best place” she’s been in a long time “spiritually”.
She said: “If I’m being honest, spiritually, I’m at the best place I’ve been in a long time. I think who you have in your life determines how you feel spiritually. I’m happy now with or without a man, but it just so happens the n***a in my life, he’s known me since I was 14. He knows the real me, I don’t have to pretend. We can be around each other all day and not get bored. I know I say we f***ing four times a day, but that’s not all we do. There’s a different level of friendship and passion I’ve never had before. So nurturing and knows just what to say to make me feel empowered.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Beckinsale has recalled a disastrous date at Disneyland during which she got “super offended” because the guy didn’t compliment her for wearing Minnie Mouse ears.
The 45-year-old actress – who is currently romancing ‘Saturday Night Live’ comedian Pete Davidson – has confessed that she doesn’t really “like” going on dates and recalled the miserable trip out she had with the unnamed man which resulted in a row because he didn’t appreciate the effort she made by “buying and wearing” Disney ears.
Recalling the date during an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’, she said: “There was some sort of argument about the fact he didn’t think I looked cute in the ears … He didn’t compliment me enough [on my Minnie Mouse ears]. So it was done. I was out. I was over it. If you’re going to go through the trouble of buying and wearing ears, the person should be freaking out, especially if you’re over 40 because it’s a commitment … I was super offended. I didn’t like it. I don’t really like dates anyway.”
Despite her lack of fun at Disneyland, Kate is very happy with new guy Pete, 25, because they share a very “similar sense of humour”.
A source previously told PEOPLE: “She’s very happy with Pete. They have really similar senses of humour and she’s always laughing with him.”
Pete – who was previously engaged to Ariana Grande – previously insisted he isn’t “bothered” about the age difference between himself and British beauty Kate and can’t understand the fascination with their romance because so many famous men date younger women without anyone commenting.
Quizzed about their fledgling relationship, he said: “Apparently people have a crazy fascination with our age difference. It doesn’t really bother us, but then again I’m new to this. So if you have questions about a relationship with a big age difference, just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Statham, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Disick, Dane Cook, Derek Jeter, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee, Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn and whoever the president of France is. Mel Gibson, Billy Joel, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Kelsey Grammer. Larry King, Larry King, Larry King, Rod Stewart and Donald Trump.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Smith has considered having a sex change but now identities as neither male or female.
The 26-year-old singer has described himself as “non-binary and genderqueer” as he feels like he floats “somewhere in between” the two genders in his mind.
Although he thought about becoming a woman in the past he now has dismissed the idea of having a sex change.
Asked by Jameela Jamil during the premiere episode of her new ‘I Weigh Interviews’ Instagram series what gender labels mean to him, Sam said: “You do not identify in a gender. You are just you … you are your own special creation. That is how I take it. I am not male or female. I think I float somewhere in between – somewhat on the spectrum. I’ve always had a bit of a war in my body and my mind … I do think like a woman in my head at times. I’ve sometimes sat there and questioned, ‘Do I want a sex change?’ It’s something I still think about, but I don’t think it is.”
The ‘Stay With Me’ hitmaker opened up about dealing with gender issues throughout his life, and revealed he stopped wearing ‘boys’ clothes’ to school when he was 16, instead turning to fur, leggings and make-up before a switching to his signature suits to conceal his weight issues a few years later.
He also revealed how he can be “feminine in many ways” – including in his love life – and explained how he has been trying to adopt his “free” attitude to sex into his “thoughts on gender”.
He said: “I’ve always been very free in terms of thinking about sexuality. I’ve tried to change that into my thoughts on gender… when I move, when I have sex with men, it’s very feminine. I’m feminine in many ways — and I’ve resented that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Only Way Is Essex’s Dan Edgar says he and Amber Turner have split for good.
The reality television star has declared he and his former co-star are well and truly over, as he admits that although they recently went on a secret Valentine’s Day date, they decided that they were better off apart.
Dan told The Sun Online: “We started speaking again and decided to go out and have a chat to see what both of our views are, but we came to the decision it was best left.”
The television hunk thinks it is best that he and the curvaceous blonde – whom he broke up with at the end of December after they got together last May – remain apart as he thinks that is what is “best for both of us.”
He said: “We aren’t together anymore. We got to Christmas and it wasn’t working out, so I had to walk away from it and I think that’s for the best for both of us.
“I just wasn’t happy at the end and I thought it was the right thing to do.
“There were reasons why it didn’t work before and those haven’t gone away.”
And Dan – who says he is now “single and ready to mingle” – is enjoying not having to deal with the stress of a relationship and says he doesn’t miss “the arguments and fall outs” he had with Amber.
He explained: “It is a relief not to have the agg and to have to deal with the arguments and the fall outs.
“It is nice to be able to come away and relax and have a laugh. It’s nice not to have the worry of the relationship going round in circles.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Leigh-Anne Pinnock says Little Mix were told to avoid labelling themselves as “feminists” because it was “too controversial”.
The girl group – who found success when they won the 2011 series of UK talent show ‘The X Factor’ – have recently released several singles which praise female empowerment and strong women, but 27-year-old Leigh-Anne has said they were discouraged from doing so when they begun their careers, as ‘X Factor’ producers deemed it inappropriate.
She said: “At the beginning we didn’t use the word feminist. We were actually told not to just in case it was too controversial. To be fair, we were really young. I don’t think we were as clued-up as we are now on things. Now we’re proud to say we’re feminists. We are a lot wiser. Things that happened back then really make sense now.”
Leigh-Anne claims the ‘Woman Like Me’ hitmakers were even told they wouldn’t do well on the show as no girl group had won before them, and although they didn’t realise how “bad that was” at the time, they now know it’s wrong to “put all women in a box”.
Speaking to Glamour magazine, she added: “At the beginning, when we were on X-Factor, we were told, ‘girl bands didn’t do well!’ and we were nearly not going to get through. The producers didn’t want to put us through because they were saying, ‘what’s the point, they’re not going to achieve anything, they’re not going to do well, they are a girl band!’ But Tulisa actually stood up for us and we proved them wrong, right? We won the bloody show! We proved them wrong. At the time, we didn’t think too much into it but now we realise how bad that was. You can’t put all women in a box like that. Who’s to say we weren’t going to win? Who’s to say we weren’t going to do well? It is these things that made us realise we need to speak up more and speak about what happened to us then.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Soulja Boy has been arrested after police allegedly found ammunition in his home.
The ‘Crank That’ rapper is currently on probation from carrying a firearm or ammunition stemming from weapons violations he was convicted of eight years ago, but on Friday (15.03.19) he was allegedly taken into police custody after cops found him to be violating his probation.
According to TMZ, Soulja was attending a meeting with his probation officer on Friday morning in the San Fernando Valley, and was arrested when he arrived at the his appointment.
Police had searched the rapper’s house following allegations from a woman who claimed he had held her hostage in his garage – which he has denied.
During the search of his home, cops allegedly found the ammunition, which he isn’t allowed to possess while on probation.
The 28-year-old rapper is set to appear in court to face a judge later on Friday, but is currently in jail in Van Nuys.
For Soulja, the arrest comes after he was previously taken into custody in 2016 when he was already on probation, and police searched his home after he threatened people online. During their search, cops found at least one weapon, which was a violation of Soulja’s probation.
At the time, a judge extended the ‘Pretty Boy Swag’ rapper’s probation, and made it clear he wasn’t to have guns or ammunition in his possession.
The ‘Kiss Me Thru The Phone’ singer was also previously charged for the illegal possession of a firearm in 2017 when he was found with a Mini Draco AR-15 – which is illegal to own in the US state of California – and he has also been charged for allegedly stealing a gun from a police car.

OHMYGOSSIP — Travis Barker has dismissed rumours he’s romancing Kourtney Kardashian.
The Blink-182 drummer was thought to be dating the 39-year-old reality star – who has three children, Mason, nine, Penelope, six, and Reign, four, with her former partner Scott Disick – after they were spotted getting dinner together last month, but Travis has insisted the pair are just good friends.
He said: “Kourtney’s like a dear friend. That’s it. I mean, I love her to death. I love her family to death. But yeah, just friends.”
Travis, 43, has two children of his own – son Landon, 15, and daughter Alabama, 13 – whom he has with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, with whom he also co-parents her daughter Atiana, 19, and has said he has a lot of things in common with his brood.
He added to People magazine: “We share a lot of the same musical taste. We like a lot of the same artists. We have so much in common. [Right now, fatherhood is] really easy.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star has also recently sparked romance rumours with David Dee Duron, after the pair were spotted having dinner together back in January.
Kourtney and David know each other from Vous church – which is based in Miami and connected to Hillsong, the church Kourtney regularly attends in Los Angeles – and whilst sources insist they’re just friends, it was claimed a romance could blossom in the future.
An insider said: “They could turn into something in the future, but it hasn’t happened yet. They’re just talking and spending a little bit of time together. This isn’t a big romance, but I’d say there’s some mutual interest there. There’s potential. So who knows?”
Following the end of her on/off romance with Scott Disick, Kourtney dating 25-year-old Younes Bendjima until last year, when she then had a brief romance with 21-year-old Luka Sabbat.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Oh “gives less f**ks” now she’s older.
The 47-year-old actress has said she’s a huge fan of the ageing process, because she was “more insecure” about her looks in her 20s than she is now, as she’s had time to get used to her body.
She said: “I was more insecure when I was 20 than I am at 47. At 47 it’s like, ‘You need me to put on a crazy dress with mirrors? Yeah, sure. I’m going to work the s**t out of this!’ I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s, like, you give less f**ks. Ageing is the greatest. It really gives you more space to be that person in the mirrored dress who has always been inside.”
And although she was less confident in her 20s, the ‘Killing Eve’ star insists that time in her life was “powerful”, as she had the “energy and boldness” to pursue an acting career.
She added: “It’s really such a powerful time when you’re 23, 24. There is a certain energy and boldness, but I’ve always been driven. This industry can be crushing, but I f***ing love it. I love it, and I think I would be acting and doing something creative no matter what.”
Since she began acting, Sandra has pushed to play characters that are “central to the story”, and has taught herself to “ask for what [she] really wants”, including her famous role as Dr. Christina Yang in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.
Speaking to InStyle magazine, she said: “At one point I decided that I only wanted to play characters who were central to the story, so I would focus on that. When I auditioned for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ [in 2004], that was a big turning point for me. I went in for the character of Dr. Bailey, who is played by the phenomenal Chandra Wilson, but at the time I just felt like … ‘Eh, this is not feeling right to me. Walk away and ask for what you really want.’ I asked them, ‘What else is open?’ It was the character of Cristina, who was clearly the antagonist, and I remember thinking it was the best part for me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Gunn has been rehired as the director for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’
The 52-year-old filmmaker previously helmed the first two instalments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series and was on board to direct the third before he was axed by Disney following the emergence of old offensive Twitter posts in which he joked about paedophilia, homophobia and rape.
But after fans and fellow stars rallied in support of Gunn, Deadline has revealed he has now been reinstated as the director for the feature.
And in a Twitter post – which marked the first time he had used the site since apologising for his past actions in tweets posted in July 2018 – confirming the news, Gunn wrote: “I am tremendously grateful to every person out there who has supported me over the past few months. I am always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be.
“I deeply appreciate Disney’s decision and I am excited to continue making films that investigate the ties of love that bind us all. I have been, and continue to be incredibly humbled by your love and support. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Love to you all.”
The movie was originally due to start filming early this year but had been pushed back following Gunn’s exit.
Meanwhile, President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige recently said that although the studio was “focusing on other projects”, he was planning on using Gunn’s script for the movie.
He said: “I mean, when it was pushed back, it was pushed back. Meaning the release date, because it’s not coming out – although we’ve never announced a release date actually – but it was gonna happen sooner rather than later, initially of course.
“Outside of knowing that we’re gonna use [James Gunn’s] draft, [we have] been focusing on other projects.”
Although Gunn is now back on board, it’s still unknown at the time of writing when shooting will begin on the movie, which stars the likes of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, and Dave Bautista.
