Rebecca Romijn says "wasn't sure" if she completed shoot for 'Avengers: Doomsday' - 'The script hasn't ...'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress and former model Rebecca Romijn shared an update about her return as 'Mystique' in the highly anticipated 'Avengers: Doomsday', according to The Hollywood Reporter. The script hasn't -- they haven't finished writing it Rebecca Romijn shared that she wasn't sure if she had finished filming for the forthcoming Marvel film because the script wasn't fully complete. "I'm not quite sure," she said when asked if she was done shooting her scenes. "The script hasn't -- they haven't finished writing it. It's been very, very fun, and we don't know yet. They keep everything very close to the vest themselves in an effort to keep everything under wraps," as per The Hollywood Reporter. When asked if she had read the script, she didn't open up much about it, saying, "I cannot confirm nor deny that I have read the entire script." She also admitted she "can't say" who she's filmed scenes alongside, but it was a "surreal" experience shooting with some of her original X-Men co-stars with a new, blended cast, as per the outlet. "It was very surreal to be with my old cast as well as a new cast. I had crazy dreams while I was there for a large chunk of the shooting. Like, really kind of regressive dreams," she shared.

The actress also shared what it was like revisiting the role of Mystique, nearly 20 years after she last portrayed the character in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. "Oh, I know her very well. I went back in with full ownership of her. It was very nice to go back and play that character, 'cause I had imposter syndrome in the very beginning," she said. "I thought, maybe at the very beginning, I was just cast because I happened to be the model who was available to play Mystique at that moment. I mean, I auditioned and I got the role, because when you're very young, you're like, Do I deserve to be here? And I did not have that going back this time. It was a very different experience." Marvel revealed the Avengers: Doomsday cast in late March, which notably includes a string of actors from 20th Century Fox's X-Men universe. Joining Romijn from the inaugural 2000 film are Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto and James Marsden as Cyclops. The Traitors host Alan Cumming also returns as Nightcrawler, whom he played in 'X2: X-Men United', and Kelsey Grammer as Beast, from X-Men: The Last Stand, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

No smartphone, no problem: Fahadh Faasil on life without social media - 'It feels natural, not isolated'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) It's a known fact that the Hollywood veteran director Christopher Nolan doesn't use smart phones, hence he is not active on social media. Now in Mollywood, the versatile actor Fahadh Faasil seems to be following the same. The acclaimed actor recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter and revealed that he still doesn't own a smartphone . It's not because he dismisses the value of technology, he's clear that smartphones are useful, but rather that he's created a life where they're simply not essential. 'There are always other ways to connect if someone needs to,' Fahadh said. The 'Maareesan' actor explained that the people who need to reach him can connect with him even without digital shortcuts. Tried, tested, and rejected Fahadh did try using social media at one point. But it didn't take long for him to realise it wasn't his space. He found himself unsure of what to post and how to respond to the influx of comments that followed. 'Those accounts were just to tell people about the films I was doing,' he admitted. Anything beyond that felt forced and unnatural to him. Nazriya Fahadh grooves to Thalapathy Vijay's 'Vaathi Coming' Rather than pretend to enjoy the platform, he quietly stepped away and has had no regrets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo 'I've never felt cut off from the world,' he shared. 'The people around me are on social media. I still know everything I need to.' Work over visibility For Fahadh, the only thing that truly matters is the work. He believes in the power of good cinema to connect him with his audience—no filters, hashtags, or updates required. 'If I start making bad movies, that's when I should really worry,' he said with characteristic simplicity. Meanwhile, Fahadh Faasil's recent outing is the Vadivelu starrer 'Maareesan' which is getting positive reviews from the audiences and is doing a decent box office business.
