Mark Ruffalo's Hulk confirmed for Spider-Man 4
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 57-year-old actor will reprise his role of Bruce Banner / The Hulk in the upcoming Sony/Marvel movie sequel, alongside Tom as Spider Man.
Michael Mando will also return to his role of the Scorpion, the villain from 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, along with Jon as vigilante the Punisher.
Tom, 29, recently revealed how excited he is to return to the Spider Man universe, after COVID-19 restrictions made shooting difficult on the third movie, 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home.
He told Flip Your Wig: 'I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid. We shot the entire film on stages. Now we're really going to lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations.
'We are going to use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together.'
Tom added that playing Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter-ego is like 'like hanging out with an old pal' and filming the fourth movie is 'going to feel like making 'Spider-Man 1 [2017's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming] again'.
He added: 'It's been such a long time that I've done it that it's going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we're putting together.'
Zendaya will also be returning as MJ in Spider-Man 4, along with Jacob Batalon as Peter Parker's best friend Ned.
Sadie Sink has joined the cast, but her character has not been revealed.

Margaret Qualley felt 'lonely' in relationships before Jack Antonoff
Margaret Qualley felt 'lonely' in relationships before falling for Jack Antonoff. The 30-year-old actress and the 41-year-old musician got married in August 2023 on Long Beach Island after first meeting 'right as COVID was ending' and Margaret knew Jack was the one because she always felt 'safe' with him. She told Cosmopolitan magazine: 'Falling in love with Jack was the biggest feeling I've ever felt. We met right as COVID was ending, at the first party I'd been to. We saw each other on a roof, and we just started talking and never stopped. We went on a series of walks throughout the city that summer. 'In every other relationship I've ever been in, I still felt really lonely because I wasn't with my person, and it's like I was seeking something. I don't feel like that anymore. Jack makes me feel safe and comfortable. 'I spent so many years trying to be someone's perfect girl, and that girl changed over and over again. But I can't lie to Jack. I can't be that for him - he'd see through it. So, I just have to be myself. He's been the person I've pictured my whole life. And I'm not even saying that metaphorically. My first crush was Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy, and I've been looking for that essence my whole life. I'm like, 'That's Jack.'' And Margaret's sister Rainey Qualley, takes full credit for them getting together. She said: 'I was recording at Electric Lady, where Jack Antonoff works. We'd heard he was looking for forever love. So, when there was a small party on the roof and I had a bit too much to drink, I proceeded to tell Jack that he needed to date my sister!' Margaret also revealed Jack said 'I love you' first. She said: 'I'm very old-school about stuff like this. I would never put myself out there first. I never text twice. I mean, now we're married and I can text him anything at any time. We're always having a conversation; he's like my human diary. But before we were together, at the beginning, I would always follow Southern girl etiquette.' And, she shared her hopes of having children with Jack, saying: 'I want kids. I'm not there this second - I know there's a lot of stuff I don't know - but I've always wanted kids. Even as a little kid, I would imagine having babies.'

‘Isn't what I would have done': The Naked Gun creator David Zucker reacts to Liam Neeson's reboot
The Naked Gun creator David Zucker has offered his support for the reboot's director Akiva Schaffer, even if the movie 'isn't really what [he] would have done'. The 77-year-old filmmaker helmed the original Leslie Nielsen-starring comedy series, and Zucker is glad to see the new Naked Gun is performing well at the box office - opening with $17 million domestically - and has praised director Schaffer for his work. Zucker told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I'm excited about it because it just shows that there's a strong market for comedy in movie theaters, and spoof in particular. 'People are liking it, which is great. I really like the director, and I just couldn't wish him more well. 'I texted him already, saying, 'I hear the reviews are great, and it's tracking well.' He was very happy to hear from me, and we'll probably get together later in the month when the smoke clears.' Zucker had initially worked on a script for a fourth Naked Gun movie with Pat Proft and Mike McManus - which would have focused on Frank Drebin's (Nielsen) 30-something-year-old son - though Paramount Pictures ultimately chose to move ahead without the original creators for the reboot. As a result of feeling burned, Zucker said he had no plans to watch The Naked Gun in the cinema. He explained: 'I'm not gonna see it, but I don't see any of the sequels that were of my material done by other people, and that's fine. I've told Akiva that I have no intention to see it. 'He actually invited me to come see an early cut of it, but I told him there's nothing I could do to help because it really isn't what I would have done. 'That's not to say that he didn't actually end up doing a good movie. But I don't think I could help with that.' Zucker added he didn't want to be credited as an executive producer for The Naked Gun, even though Paramount had offered him just that. He said: 'I won't take credit on anything that I didn't work on from the beginning. I don't need the money. 'After the agents and managers, it would have paid three electric bills, probably. If it's a big hit, Akiva should get the credit, and he deserves it.' Zucker hopes the success of The Naked Gun will give momentum to his movie that was initially planned to be the fourth Naked Gun film, though is now titled Counterintelijence. However, the director wishes the best for The Naked Gun and is glad producer Seth MacFarlane spoke with him shortly after the reboot's script was finished. Zucker said: 'He spent the first 10 minutes telling me how much he loved Airplane, The Naked Gun and Top Secret. 'I can't get mad at anyone who will tell me what a genius I am. That was a good conversation. I was glad that Seth called, but I told him politely, 'Good luck, but I can't put my name on this.' [But] everything happens for a reason.' In The Naked Gun, rookie detective Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) stumbles into his first big case, and a complicated romance with bombshell Vinessa (Pamela Anderson), while trying to stop a criminal conspiracy. Chaos, clueless heroics, and classic slapstick follow in his father's footsteps.

Gen Z shift, high costs force UK nightclubs to reinvent
Is the party over? UK nightclubs are famed around the world, but Covid and inflation have hit the sector hard, forcing businesses to reinvent themselves to attract new generations to the dance floor. Pryzm Kingston is a well-known club in southwest London popular with students, where artists like Billie Eilish, Rod Stewart, and Stormzy have performed. But the converted cinema closed its doors for renovation last month, with its owners saying it was time to "look to the future and reimagine this venue for the next generation of partygoers." It will be transformed into a smaller club and a dance bar -- "creating venues that reflect what people are looking for now," they added. Many other British clubs are also trying to re-adjust after around a third of them, about 400 venues, have shut down since 2020, according to the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA). "Whilst nightclubs were in gentle decline prior to Covid, the pandemic profoundly accelerated things," Tony Rigg, a music industry consultant, told AFP, noting that the cost-of-living crisis had sent bills and rents soaring. As the first pints of the evening were poured in central London, 26-year-old account manager Conor Nugent told AFP he only goes clubbing for "special occasions," after asking himself "if it's really worth it." Like 68 percent of 18-to-30-year-olds, the Londoner has cut back on nights out for financial reasons and prefers to save up for concerts and events. Rigg pointed out that Covid-19 caused a "cultural shift" among Gen Z — those born between 1997 and 2012 — who generally drink less alcohol and largely miss out on the "rite of passage of going out, experiencing clubs and learning some social behaviours." - Lure of Paris, Berlin - Rekom UK, the company behind iconic clubs like Pryzm and Atik, filed for bankruptcy in 2024, shutting down 17 venues across the country, citing multiple pressures. About 20 others, including Kingston, were acquired by Neos Hospitality, which decided to convert some into dance bars or host alcohol-free events. "The sector has to evolve otherwise it will become obsolete," Rigg acknowledged. To stop hemorrhaging party-seekers lured by Berlin or Paris, London Mayor Sadiq Khan launched an independent working group called the "Nightlife Taskforce," which is set to publish a report later this year. "One of the reasons why people love London is our nightlife, our culture," Khan told AFP. "When I speak to mayors in Paris, in New York and Tokyo, I'm jealous of the powers they have" especially on licensing issues, he said, adding he was looking at other cities like Paris "with envy" as it enjoys a nighttime boom. He was granted approval in March to overrule certain local authorities who had forced pubs, restaurants, concert halls, and nightclubs to close early. The government has also announced plans to change regulations to support nightlife venues in certain areas. "Sadly, in the UK, we struggle with reputational issues and a narrative that makes (clubbing) more of a counterculture element rather than a real economic and cultural driver," NTIA head Michael Kill, who advocates for greater recognition of electronic music and club culture, told AFP. The night-time sector contributes a vital £153 billion ($203 billion) a year to the UK economy, employing around two million people, according to NTIA. And with London still enjoying a long, well-established reputation, all is not lost. The capital remains an "exciting" city, 25-year-old Carys Bromley who recently moved to London from the island of Guernsey, told AFP. "There's a lot of parties, clubs, and a big nightlife. The places stay open longer, it's busier, a bit more wild," she said.
