It has been two years since Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. worked together on Avengers: Endgame, and while there is no chance of them appearing together as their respective Avengers again in the MCU, the pair recently teamed up for the Venture into Cures Research Fundraiser event for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). While hosting the opening segment, Holland stumbled his way around the pronunciation of the life-threatening genetic disorder and then professed his gratitude at being picked to host over his fellow superheroes, name dropping Captain America and Thor, but he then is stopped in mid-flow as his phone begins to vibrate and he has to excuse himself to take the call – which turns out to be none other than RDJ himself....

Imagine going from acting in one movie to making a film with Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Jessica Parker and a host of other top tier actors in your second one?

Even though I’m not what you’d call a Star Wars fanatic, even I have been watching - and loving - Jon Favreau’s Disney+ series The Mandalorian with Pedro Pascal and Baby Yoda. In fact, I’m firmly planted in the camp that says the show should have just been called Baby Yoda to begin with as he really is the main reason we’re all still watching at this point. Am I kidding?...

When I’ve reviewed Harry Potter films in the past, I have had a surrogate critic by my side. Someone who has read the books. Someone who is usually over forty and a woman. Why? Because middle-aged single women seem to love both the films and the books they are based on. Maybe its because its written by one of their peers. Maybe there’s some sort of secret hidden vaginal rejuvenation spell locked deep within its pages....

Many iconic movie roles become synonymous with the actor who plays them, but have you ever wondered what would happen if different actors got cast for some major roles? What would it look like if Tom Holland hadn’t laughed through his audition and got the role of Finn in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy?
