Jeremy Renner breaks silence on abuse allegations from ex-wife: ‘Truth gets lost…'
Jenner denies all claims of threatening to kill his wife
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Renner refuted the allegations levied against him by Pacheco, calling them 'dramatisations' aimed at manipulating legal outcomes. He told the publication that the allegations were not true, but they were repeated so often that 'people assumed they were.' He added, 'The truth gets lost when headlines take over.'
He continued, saying that being accused of things one hasn't done 'does not feel good to anybody.' 'It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody,' he told The Guardian.
Bitter legal battle with Sonni Pacheco & the allegations
Renner and Pacheco, who divorced in 2014 after a brief marriage, entered a contentious custody battle over their daughter that continued until 2019, according to an Entertainment Weekly report. Pacheco alleged that Renner was an 'unfit parent' and accused him of threatening to kill her and himself. She claimed that the Hawkeye actor bit their daughter and behaved recklessly, under the influence of substances.
In legal filings, the report stated, Pacheco claimed the Avengers actor once put a gun in her mouth and discussed harming her, portraying him as a danger to their child.
When asked whether there was any truth to the accusations, Renner told The Guardian no, and added, 'It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanises people.'

New Marvel Rivals leak reveals Blade abilities
Image via NetEase Games. Season 3 in Marvel Rivals has just kicked off. This season will mark the new 2-month seasonal format, where the mid-season refresh update will launch in the immediate next month. Not only that, Marvel Rivals will now introduce two new heroes each season, one in each month, starting from Season 3. In this season, fans will get to play as two popular Marvel characters - Phoenix (Jean Grey) and Blade. The former has already taken entry into the game, but the latter is yet to make his mark. Amidst all of this, the abilities of the unreleased character are now leaked. New Marvel Rivals leak reveals Blade's team-up ability The abilities of Blade in Marvel Rivals have already been revealed in June when popular leaker RivalsInfo leaked his kit on Twitter. Blade's kit includes Blade Chopper and Hunting Gun as his Primary Fires. On the other hand, Shift Ability features an anti-healing effect called Step and Chop, which is going to be a gamechanger. Last but not the least, his Ultimate unleashes a powerful sword chop, while charging forward. Now, the same leaker has revealed gameplay footage, featuring Blade's team-up ability. This team-up ability is called Lunar Force and needs Blade to pair-up with Moon Knight and Cloak and Dagger. In this ability, Blade gets a force-field around him which makes him invisible as well, and might well make him impervious to enemy shots. It's still unconfirmed how Moon Knight and Cloak and Dagger get benefited from this ability. Blade is rumored to be a Duelist in the game, so this team-up ability is going to be overpowered for sure. As a Duelist, Blade's main job will be to take entry into the site and get early frags. And the Lunar Force ability will help Blade to execute the same. His alleged anti-healing ability will make enemy players vulnerable to his Primary Fires. However, nothing has been confirmed by NetEase Games yet. But if Blade comes in all guns blazing with this rumored kit, he is surely going to be one of the most picked characters in Marvel Rivals.

Bradley Cooper's Surprise Cameo in James Gunn's Superman Has a Special Marlon Brando Connection, Director Reveals
James Gunn's Superman is one of the most talked-about films of recent times. While David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan's chemistry on screen is heavily praised, another actor who took the audience by surprise is Bradley Cooper. The actor's cameo in the film was unexpected, yet impactful, giving the storyline the depth that it required. The Maestro star played the role of Jor-El, the father of Superman, in the superhero film and makes an appearance right at the beginning of the movie.

James Gunn talks about Bradley Cooper's surprising cameo in Superman While sitting down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the director and the co-head of DC revealed that he brought in Bradley Cooper by keeping Marlon Brando's character in mind. James Gunn said, 'I needed somebody who could play Jor-El, who had the stature of what we imagine that character to be.' He further explained, 'Somebody that could walk in the footsteps of Marlon Brando.' Gunn and Cooper have a long-standing working relationship. The duo previously worked together in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, wherein the actor lent his voice for Rocket Raccoon. During his appearance on the recent episode of Jake's Takes, the filmmaker shared that his bond with the Oscar-nominated actor strengthened during the filming of the Marvel movies, and that made it easier for Gunn to approach Cooper for a cameo in Superman. The director said, 'We've stayed in close contact since the 'Guardians' movies, and I admire him greatly as an actor and as a director.' He continued to reveal, 'Hey, will you do me a favor? Come down, go to England, we're going to shoot you in a 3D environment, make a hologram of you, and you can play Jor-El.' As for the film, it revolves around Superman, who faces struggles in his personal life as well as at work. He gets questioned for his actions, and amid the conflicts, a tech billionaire, Lex Luthor, gets an opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of his way for good. Superman is running successfully in theaters.
