Amid ‘cut money’ row, Bengal ‘bans’ village-level meetings

The accused upaprdhan, Biswajit De, anchal sabhapati Raghab Ghosh and gram panchayat member Mrinal Kanti Pal admitted they used the money for building a TMC office.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Producer Says Morbius Looks Great So Far

During the press rounds for Spider-Man: Far From Home , producer Amy Pascal praised Jared Leto and said that the upcoming Morbius looks “really great.” Given that the only footage we’ve seen so far though has been a couple of still images and a brief video , the jury’s still most definitely out on this one after the last time the Academy Award-winning actor played a pale comic book character. Sony may have leased their web-slinging crown jewel back to Marvel Studios after the disappointment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , but that hasn’t stopped the studio from moving forward with their own series of spinoffs featuring Spidey’s rogues’ gallery. The Tom Hardy-led Venom was the first entry in their cinematic universe and made an impressive $855 million at the box office, despite less-than-enthusiastic reviews. When asked about Morbius , Pascal responded by saying “Jared is fantastic. Who could be better? You can’t imagine. It’s fantastic. I’m not involved in that one, but the studio j...

Justin Hammer Could Return As The Villain In Spider-Man 3

Avengers: Endgame   brought back a ton of familiar faces from the MCU that we never imagined we’d see again, but there’s one character from way, way back who fans have wanted to see make a return for a while now and it still hasn’t happened. Of course, we’re talking about Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer, who proved to be a thorn in Tony Stark’s side in Iron Man 2 .  Sure, the sequel itself was a bit of a mess, but the actor was a hoot, arguably making Hammer one of the best of all the anti-Stark type villains. Thankfully, then, Marvel still has plans for the character , and they plan to bring him back into the MCU sooner rather than later, from what we’re hearing. So, where could Sam Rockwell happen to re-emerge? Well, we previously reported that a Thunderbolts film might be in production, and it’d unite various former supervillains into Red Hulk’s super-team. That seems like a pretty good place for Hammer to show up, but we’ve also heard there’s another option. And before we ...

Here’s How Norman Osborn Will Be Introduced Into The MCU

For the most part, and despite Tom Holland’s shocking ability to apparently spoil everything , Phase 4 of the MCU has been kept tightly under wraps so far. It’s already been revealed that Spider-Man: Far From Home will act as a post- Endgame epilogue to Phase 3, with much of the focus being placed on Peter Parker (and Mysterio!) dealing with the ramifications of what happened in April’s blockbuster, but beyond that, Kevin Feige and co. haven’t really said much about what comes next. And long may that continue, as we’re sure they’ve got some juicy surprises in store for us. This being the MCU, though, there are always going to be leaks and rumors and something that was widely reported on over the last few weeks was Norman Osborn , with many expecting him to show up in  Far From Home . Turns out that was all bogus, though, as those who’ve seen the film have confirmed that there’s no sign of the big bad at all, but that’s not to say the sequel doesn’t plant the seeds for his arriv...
