The two attended the 78th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, Feb. 16 at the Royal Festival Hall in London where Stan was nominated for best leading actor for his role in the controversial drama The Apprentice.
Stan and Wallis arrived at the award show side-by-side and walked the red carpet together. The nominee kept it simple in a classic black tux with a white buttoned down shirt and a black bow tie. Meanwhile, the Malignant actress wore an off-shoulder silver sequined dress with subtle draping across her waist.
The Marvel star was nominated at the award show alongside Adrien Brody for The Brutalist, Timothée Chalamet for A Complete Unknown, Colman Domingo for Sing Sing, Ralph Fiennes for Conclave and Hugh Grant for Heretic. The award ultimately went to Brody.
Stan and Wallis first sparked dating rumors in May 2022 when they were seen together at Robert Pattinson's birthday party.

What parents need to know about ‘The Fantastic Four,' ‘Ballard' and more
Age 11+ Marvel's First Family gets a retro, action-packed reboot. This Marvel Cinematic Universe adventure unfolds in an alternate version of Earth that resembles the 1960s. It follows superheroes Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they work together to protect their world from extraterrestrial forces. Expect frequent comic book-style action and large-scale destruction. Violence include battles with superpowers (fire, force fields, super strength), high-speed pursuits, collapsing buildings and intense suspense (such as a baby in danger). While there's little blood or on-screen death, one planet's destruction implies mass casualties. An affectionate married couple kisses and holds hands, and there's a mildly suggestive joke about pregnancy. Characters briefly drink what appears to be beer. Language includes infrequent use of 'bulls---,' 'sweet Jesus' and 'God.' Positive themes include teamwork, perseverance, unconditional familial love and using your abilities to protect others. (118 minutes) Available in theaters. Age 15+ Broody detective spin-off has cursing, violence and sex. Starring Maggie Q as Detective Renée Ballard, this 'Bosch' spin-off explores mature topics such as murder, sexism, sexual assault and police corruption. There's lots of violent content: shootings, physical altercations, images of corpses and more. There are also suggested sexual acts and bare bottoms, and you can expect to hear words such as 'f---,' 's---,' 'b----' and 'goddamn.' Characters occasionally drink beer and discuss drug use (usually within the context of criminal activity). (10 episodes) Available on Prime Video. Age 8+ Branded stop-motion story looks sweet but has dark twists. This stop-motion animated series is based on characters from the Japanese brand Sanrio. While it may come across as cute and fluffy, the story gradually gets darker as characters with glowing eyes act possessed, chase the protagonists and even eat a character made out of cotton candy. There's no gore or blood, but the lighting and sound effects might distress younger viewers. For kids who can handle fantasy horror or are used to dense anime plots, this one is full of mystery and complexities. The series arrives at a positive message about kindness and friendship, but there's plenty of negativity in the road there. My Melody (voiced by Junko Takeuchi) is a role model of kindness, caring and positivity. Kuromi (Rei Sakuma), on the other hand, wants to compete and acts out in rage by yelling, growling and mistreating others. (12 episodes) Available on Netflix. Age 3+ Simple preschool stories star Mickey and pals. Targeted toward preschoolers, this is a colorful reboot of the animated 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse' educational series that aired from 2006 to 2016. Featuring Mickey (voiced by Bret Iwan), Minnie (Kaitlin Robrock), Donald (Tony Anselmo) and other classic Disney characters, this simple series finds the crew modeling teamwork as they solve problems and learn together. Expect mildly scary excitement — like Mickey being whisked away by a hot-air balloon — that's quickly resolved. Otherwise, there's no iffy content. (10 episodes) Available on Disney Jr. and Disney+. Common Sense Media helps families make smart media choices. Go to for age-based and educational ratings and reviews for movies, games, apps, TV shows, websites and books.

Savannah Bananas' Robert Anthony Cruz Faceplants During Failed Backflip on Live TV, Ends Up with Stitches and 'Damaged Pride'
Robert Anthony Cruz isn't letting a live TV mishap keep him down! The Savannah Bananas star, 26, attempted to perform his signature backflip during an appearance on CNN's News Central on Thursday, July 24. However, after he launched himself into the air, the stunt went horribly wrong and left him face-planting the studio floor live on TV. Co-host Kate Bolduan could be heard gasping, 'Oh, Jesus,' just moments before Cruz, also known as Coach RAC, slammed to the floor. 'That never happens,' Cruz said as he slowly got up. Co-host John Berman poked fun at the situation, saying, 'That ... what you just saw there is a brand new twist on America's favorite pastime.' Cruz took the mishap in his stride as he shared the clip on his Instagram alongside an update. 'The sound makes it 10x funnier. Yes, you have my permission to laugh. Yes, I'm all good 😂😭,' he captioned the post. 'Some stitches, slightly damaged pride, and some unparalleled dad lore.' Commenters wished him a speedy recovery but confessed they found his failed backflip amusing. 'Glad you're okay. Sorry I'm laughing,' one person wrote, while another joked, 'The faceplant heard round the world.' In a video on his Instagram Stories, the outfielder can be seen with a busted lip while resting in bed. 'Hey guys, for the record, you have my full permission to laugh,' he said. 'I can't laugh every time I watch it, too. The sound, it's crazy.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Cruz explained further how the stunt went wrong in an Instagram Reel. The baseball star said he was running on four hours of sleep after arriving in New York at around 2 a.m. following a few days at a camp for kids in Houston. Having been asked if he had any tricks to perform, Cruz decided on his signature backflip to amaze the CNN audience. He said it's a stunt that he performs 'all the time' and sometimes does even while catching a ball. 'I had zero reason to doubt my abilities,' he said in his Instagram Reel. 'Anyways, I'm standing on the stage. I get the countdown and I'm like, okay, it's time. 'I send the flip and next thing I know I am on the floor and I am rattled,' he continued. 'I was pretty confused, my mic pack fell out of my pocket, my shoe flew off my foot. I don't even know how that happened.' Cruz confessed that he felt bad for the news anchors as they had to continue the show without laughing at his accidental fall. He initially felt fine and wanted to go ahead with being interviewed before noticing that he was now covered in blood. The Savannah Bananas star had to get "several stitches" in his lip and chin but didn't suffer any serious injuries. 'In hindsight, when you do a flip, you are looking for the ground while you're rotating,' he said. 'I remember jumping back and seeing a bright light in my face and the floor itself was very light. 'I kind of just lost where I was in the air and wound up under-rotating, also my feet slipped,' he concluded. Read the original article on People

New movies to watch this weekend: See 'The Fantastic Four' in theaters, rent 'Materialists,' stream 'Happy Gilmore 2' on Netflix and more
"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" shows that "Superman" was the start of a new trend. Hello, Yahoo readers! My name is Brett Arnold, film critic and longtime Yahoo editor, and I'm back with another edition of Trust Me, I Watch Everything. This week, there are a handful of movies coming to streaming services you're likely already paying for, including Wes Anderson's latest, an indie gem about baseball and a fun self-aware horror flick. The biggest new release is The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the latest attempt at making the Marvel characters pop onscreen with a buzzy new A-list cast, including Pedro Pascal. If you're looking for more Pascal, make it a double feature: His rom-dram Materialists is available to rent. Read on for more, because there's something here for everyone! What to watch in theaters Movies newly available to rent or buy Movies newly available on streaming services you may already have 🎥What to watch in theaters My recommendation: The Fantastic Four: First Steps Why you should watch it: The Fantastic Four: First Steps proves that James Gunn's Superman wasn't a one-off and instead was the start of an emerging trend of superhero movies. Both are comic book flicks that are meant to be introduction films, as well as reboots featuring iconic characters we've already seen onscreen before. They both purposefully avoid harping much on a character's origin story. The Fantastic Four: First Steps depicts it very quickly up top, whereas Superman throws you right into the action. Both rely on the audience knowing who these people are and what they do without getting bogged down by lore. That being said, each movie is meant to emulate the experience of reading a comic book, picking up an issue and getting caught up in that one arc without having to worry about its place in the larger universe. The best thing about The Fantastic Four: First Steps is that it doesn't adhere to the Marvel house style and has a unique look that's decidedly its own: a retro-futuristic take on the 1960s that feels as indebted to The Jetsons as it does the comic books its based on. Superman opened with Clark Kent having already been Superman for three years, and First Steps similarly opens with our heroes celebrating four years as America's superhero protectors. The public knows who they are and appreciates their efforts to keep them safe. But Marvel's First Family is soon forced to balance their roles as heroes and the strength of their family bond while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) is pregnant with the child of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), and the movie explores how Reed tries to 'babyproof the world,' as a character in the film puts it, and protect their kid from real and specific dangers — in this case, Galactus. The film is at its best when its leaning into either the silliness or the scale of the sci-fi comic book world these characters inhabit, like when we get a glimpse of villain Mole Man (Paul Walter Hauser, a highlight) and his underground world of Subterranea, or when the plot turns to the idea of teleporting entire planets in order to save lives. The foreboding Galactus, who is the size of a skyscraper and more menacing than any villain I can think of in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is an undeniable selling point. Maybe it's just my love for science fiction showing, but a bad guy that's just the Death Star incarnate, destroying planets as if they were nothing, is scary, strong stuff. If I have a major complaint, it's that the Fantastic Four's powers are never really utilized in a way that feels specific to each character. It's all just generic superhero zipping around and shooting forceful beams out of their hands. The wildly specific skillsets all feel incidental here, rather than expertly written and woven into the narrative or the action. The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bacharach is terrific as the voice of the Thing, but the character feels like he has little to do here, and the entirely CGI creation of his being pales in comparison to the onscreen depiction 20 years ago, when Michael Chiklis was transformed into the character with extensive makeup. Joseph Quinn is fun as Johnny Storm, but he too just flies around while on fire. The Fantastic Four: First Steps may be the third attempt at bringing these classic comic book characters (the fourth, actually, if you count the hastily-made-to-keep-the-rights unreleased 1994 version) but it's undeniably the most successful of that very cursed bunch. The speed-run character development is a barrier at first, but by the end, I was worn down and accepted that this is what comic book movies are now, nearly 20 years after Iron Man changed everything for the genre. On paper, I love the idea of skipping the origin story, but after Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, I just think more work needs to be done setting up these worlds if I'm expected to buy in. For those unfamiliar with the characters, who have never seen a Fantastic Four movie or read one of their comic books, I do wonder if the experience is meaningfully different. What other critics are saying: Most agree that Marvel finally got it right this time. William Bibbiani at The Wrap says it's first-rate, writing, "whatever its drawbacks, feels like a real Fantastic Four movie, and that's no small achievement." The Associated Press's Jake Coyle agrees that the villains steal the show and calls it "a very solid comic book movie." How to watch: The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in theaters nationwide July 25. Get tickets 🤔 But that's not all! This ridiculously bonkers horror movie starring Pete Davidson and directed by The Purge mastermind James DeMonaco was shot in early 2022 and is only now sneaking into theaters. Davidson plays a troubled man who starts working at a retirement home and realizes its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. It's unpredictable in a fun way, even if it feels like you're watching a different movie in the final 10 minutes. Get tickets. : A derivative found-footage horror vehicle for Kris Collins, aka KallMeKris, a Canadian TikToker who has a massive following on the social media platform. It's ripping off The Blair Witch Project for most of the runtime, until it gets to the third act and imitates a different popular horror movie. It doesn't amount to much, sadly. Get tickets. 💸Movies newly available to rent or buy My recommendation: Why you should watch it: You can get a double helping of Pedro Pascal this weekend, if you're into that sort of thing, as the controversial Materialists is now watchable from your couch. As I wrote when it debuted in theaters, it disappoints in comparison to Past Lives, writer-director Celine Song's debut film, and the script ultimately lets down the actors, even if the performances are all very good. What other critics are saying: There are strong opinions on both sides here. Stephanie Zacharek at Time writes that it's "more bittersweet than sweet, which is what makes it so wonderful, in a wistful, elusive way." The Daily Beast's Nick Schager dubs it a disappointing letdown, calling it "the cinematic equivalent of a sugary soda gone terribly flat." How to watch: Materialists is now available to rent or buy on Amazon, Apple TV and other VOD platforms. Rent or buy 'Materialists' ➕ Bonus recommendation Why you should watch it: The always-great Danielle Deadwyler stars in this postapocalyptic thriller about a Black family of Canadian farmers descended from American Civil War migrants defending their homestead against cannibals trying to seize their resources. Its specific approach to the apocalypse, that it's about food scarcity and the importance of farms in that future, makes it stand out from plenty of similar fare, as does the terrific and dynamic gunplay that unexpectedly takes up the latter half. The focus on family is also very effective. Much better than you'd expect from this sort of low-budget affair. What other critics are saying: Most agree it's worth your time! Rolling Stone's David Fear writes, "She's not better than the movie. Deadwyler just makes the movie better by every choice she's making as an actor." Amy Nicholson at the Los Angeles Times agrees, writing that "there's not one false beat in Deadwyler's performance." How to watch: 40 Acres is now available to rent or buy on Amazon, Apple TV and other VOD platforms. Rent or buy '40 Acres' 🤔 But that's not all! : This is a horror movie about a serial killer whose method of killing is feeding his victims to sharks. I wish I didn't have to tell you that because the opening scene is such a shocking introduction, but the trailer gives it away immediately. It's still absolutely worth watching, if that sounds like your kind of thing. Rent or buy. Disney's live-action remake became the first and only movie to gross $1 billion this year, and now you can help it make more money by paying to rent it! As per usual with these things, it's not as nice to look at as the animated original, but it gets the job done. Rent or buy. 📺Movies newly available on streaming services you may have My recommendation: Why you should watch it: My colleague Kelsey Weekman was lucky enough to catch it early, and her review is below! What I at first thought was a depressingly obvious cash grab involving one of Adam Sandler's most beloved characters turned out to be a shockingly sweet (and still very funny) follow-up about the lengths even the biggest weirdos will go to for family. Nearly 30 years after the original came out, I wasn't sure how many more times they could turn hitting a golf ball so hard it makes rocket launcher noises into an effective gag, but thanks to some new characters who kept it true to the Sandler ethos (loud, ridiculous, playfully violent), it felt like a truly fresh franchise installment rather than a ham-handed appeal to nostalgia. But trust me, there are still plenty of nods to the original. Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, steals the show. What other critics are saying: There aren't any other reviews as of publication time. You'll have to trust Kelsey on this one! How to watch: Happy Gilmore 2 is now streaming on Netflix. Stream 'Happy Gilmore 2' ➕ Bonus recommendation: Why you should watch it: Sometimes, all you need is a cheap but satisfying B-movie about a creature on an island killing people in increasingly gory ways. Bonus points if the creature just so happens to be a guy in a suit. This World War II-set throwback is as inspired by the films of Jack Arnold (specifically Creature From the Black Lagoon) as it is Predator, and it delivers on the promise. The story about two guys from opposite sides of the war forced to band together against a greater threat works quite well! What other critics are saying: There aren't many reviews for this one yet, so you'll have to take my word for it. If you're into low-budget stuff buoyed by great practical FX work and better-than-average performances, check it out. How to watch: Monster Island is now streaming on Shudder. Stream 'Monster Island' 🤔 But that's not all! The latest film from Wes Anderson is a decidedly silly one. Imagine the usual Andersonian look and feel, now with cartoonish violence, and a terrific performance from Benicio Del Toro at its center. I wrote more about it here. Now streaming on Peacock. This quietly profound indie about a baseball team playing their last-ever game functions as a metaphor about life and the eventual bitter end of the things we love. How can you not be romantic about baseball?! I wrote more here. Now streaming on Mubi. This horror flick based on a popular video game leans more Cabin in the Woods send-up than earnest horror, and fans of the genre will enjoy the way it plays with conventions. Now streaming on Netflix. Steve Coogan is sensational in this cute movie inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976 and how his life is transformed when he befriends a penguin. Streaming on Netflix July 26. This A24 movie starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd is a high-concept fantastical comedy that eventually turns into goofy horror. I found it insufferable, but, hey, it's on HBO Max now, so you're not paying for streaming on HBO Max. That's all for this week — we'll see you next Friday at the movies!
