Scarlett Johansson Jokes About ‘Avengers' Box Office In Please Don't Destroy Newark Airport Skit With Bad Bunny
The guys' concerns were soon validated as the pilots of their plane couldn't make contact with Newark and their navigation screens went black. In the shaking first-class cabin, emergency signs came on, with playing hands flashing next to the 'no smoking' light.

'Looks like this is it guys. Anything to get off your chest?,' Herlihy yelled.
'This might sound corny but the only thing I regret is that Avengers didn't make more money at the box office,' said Johansson, who played the Black Widow in the MCU.
Finally, an air traffic controller responded to the pilots' pleas. Played by the episode's musical guest Bad Bunny, he was brand new on the job but, with no one else around, he had to rely on manuals to guide the plane. Naturally, he broke into a song too, which seemed to help.
The sketch, which you can watch above, also skewered Please Don't Destroy's lower than usual output this season.
'You're sad the season's over, and you only did like 2 videos?,'Johansson asked them when she first walked into their room.
This season, the trio did 6 videos vs. 21 across the previous two seasons.

'Fantastic Four': Sue Storm's biggest power isn't what you'd expect in Marvel movie
Sue Storm's pregnancy and parenthood is the emotional core of this retro-futuristic Marvel movie As we enter Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), The Fantastic Four: First Steps (in theatres July 25) puts the bond of a family at the centre of its storytelling. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Julia Garner, it's the power of motherhood that becomes the greatest asset for these superheroes. "It always seemed to me kind of revolutionary to have this mother at the centre of this family, but also be absolutely part of the team. Never left at home on her own," Kirby told reporters ahead of the film's release. "And then when I met [director Matt Shakman] and [president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige] for the first time and started talking about Sue, I was already so passionate about her, but it was so exciting to me, this idea of having this pregnant superhero, this working mother, and even in the shooting of it, it was surreal. "I was so included in everything. ... Matt and Kevin were such huge champions of having her be ... as complex and as fierce and as loving and warm and all the things they think feminine really is. ... It was very daunting. I really cared, and it's been a great honour to play her." What is 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' about? In a stand-alone story in the MCU, Fantastic Four sets up the story of four astronauts who return from space with altered DNA due to a cosmic storm, leaving them with superpowers. Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pascal) can stretch to incredible lengths, while his wife Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Kirby) can generate powerful force fields and has the ability to make herself invisible, as her name suggests. Sue's brother Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Quinn) can make himself engulfed in flames, fly and shoot out fire, while Ben Grimm/The Thing's (Moss-Bachrach) body transformed into rock form, giving him super strength. Early in the film we see Sue tell Reed that she's pregnant, something that they've struggled to achieve for some time. But Reed, the supremely intelligent but anxious scientist that he is, wants to make the world as safe for his son as possible. He also has concerns about whether their superpowers will impact their child's DNA. "The one thing that I found was kind of anchoring was that somebody that is this smart strangely makes him kind of an innocent when it comes to human interactions and relationships, and either saying the wrong thing or reading the room incorrectly, or finally finding a way to express the thing that burdens him," Pascal said. "And just sort of perplexed a little by the fact that people aren't catching up as quickly as he would, as his mind works." "That was really, really fun to kind of create idiosyncratic behaviour around that. But really at the core for me ... is that he's an incredible codependent, and without them, he doesn't know how to function, and he's lost to his own brain. His identity is related utterly to his family and his position in the family, and protecting them and being protected by them." The Fantastic Four family gets an unexpected visit from the Silver Surfer (Garner), who zooms down to Earth and announces in the middle of Times Square that the planet will be consumed by Galactus (Ralph Ineson). Interestingly, that was Garner's first day of work, and she was "terrified." "It was probably the craziest first day I've ever had on a job," Garner said. "It was 30 feet in the air. There was a construction crane, at night, an earpiece, taking direction with Matt and hearing Vanessa's line. It was wild." The Fantastic Four have to jump into action to try to stop Galactus, but the risk to Sue and Reed's infant son Franklin is something the family has to navigate. New 'Fantastic Four' review: Family dramedy with more VFX than most An appealing and refreshing take on a superhero story, Fantastic Four gives its characters time to sit in more intimate and emotional moments, and that's what makes the film compelling. For Kirby and Pascal's characters, that largely has to do with personal discussions about being parents, balancing their parental responsibilities with, literally, saving Earth. For Ben Grimm, those intimate story elements come through with a flirtatious relationship he has with Rachel Rozman (Natasha Lyonne), a similar arc to Johnny's interactions with the Silver Surfer. While Fantastic Four has all the spectacle of every other superhero movie, it's really a family dramedy with more visual effects than most. But the strongest story element in the film is this focus on how, despite all their extraordinary powers, Sue is supreme as the biggest superpower is being a mom, fiercely protective of her child. It's absolutely a cliché, but one that lends itself to the more grounded, humanizing narrative of Fantastic Four. The movie is a pleasing journey, an engaging ride that blends sarcastic humour with deeply emotional moments. The 1960s retro-future aesthetic is particularly appealing, and creates interesting dimensions with the heavy CGI that comes with a superhero film. But while Fantastic Four is an enjoyable watch, it feels more like setup for future storytelling. It is in fact a film that you can watch on its own and have a great time with, but it lacks a bit of excitement because you feel like there is so much more story to tell. Mid- and post-credit scenes in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' While we won't spoil exactly what these scenes hold, we will advise that there is both a mid-credits scene and post-credits scene in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and they are important, so make sure you stay until the end.

Pete Davidson says it's been his ‘dream' to be a dad
Pete Davidson is overjoyed to be entering his dad era. The actor and comedian is expecting a child, his first, with his partner Elsie Hewitt. 'I'm very lucky and very, very happy,' he told 'E! News' while attending the New York premiere of his new horror movie 'The Home' this week. Hewitt, a model and actress, made the announcement via Instagram last week sharing photos and a clip of her and the 'SNL' alum from her sonogram. Davidson said he's gotten advice from his 'SNL' buddies Adam Sandler and Colin Jost. 'Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream,' Davidson said. 'They all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life.' Sandler gave me some great advice.' It sounds like the couple have been getting quite a bit of support. 'It's been really nice that everyone's super excited,' he said. 'When you do something, when we do anything, you want everyone to be excited, especially having a child.' Hewitt and Davidson were first publicly linked in March. Davison has previously dated several famous women including Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande. In February he talked to Page Six about why people seem so fascinated with his dating life, which has sparked memes about him being everyone's boyfriend. 'Everyone is dating everyone and it's Hollywood. But because I'm ugly, they wrote about me,' he said at the time. 'I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell.' CNN's Dan Heching and Alli Rosenbloom contributed to this report.

I stopped doing my Marvel homework a long time ago, but I'm still excited for Fantastic Four because it wipes the MCU slate clean
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. This year, Marvel introduces its first family to the MCU in the studio's biggest film of the year, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But as well as adding a flurry of new characters to the extended universe and setting up Avengers: Doomsday, the upcoming movie also has the chance to gain the studio a whole new audience by wiping the slate clean, and perhaps alleviating some of that superhero fatigue felt by many an old Marvel head. Let's face it, keeping up with the MCU feels a lot like homework nowadays. If you want to see a new Marvel movie heading to theaters, or a show coming to Disney Plus, there's a good chance you'll need to have watched multiple different projects beforehand to understand references, or recognise characters and cameos. But in the real world, some people just don't have the time to keep up with everything. In this respect, being a Marvel fan has become exclusive and simply not accessible to everyone. That's why I think that Fantastic Four is the perfect opportunity for new and old fans to get (re)acquainted with the MCU. The movie is finally wiping the slate clean, bringing new characters, a fresh '60s world, and new villains to the MCU so that you can fall in love with Marvel all over again, just in time for Doomsday. Wiping the slate clean Starring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/Thing, The Fantastic Four follows Marvel's first family at the height of their popularity, living in a retro-futuristic '60s America. However, their perfect world comes crashing down when Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) arrives to warn them that their 'planet has been marked for death' and will soon be devoured by Galactus (Ralph Ineson). As exciting as that sounds, the most important detail of The Fantastic Four: First Steps is that it more or less acts as a stand-alone movie. Meaning, you don't really have to watch anything before you go and see it in the cinema. This will be music to many a prospective viewer's ears. Especially those who haven't been keeping up with Marvel's numerous side-stories and have been patiently waiting for a way back into the MCU. For me, I loved the OG Marvel movies whilst growing up, from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies to the good ol' Fox days of X-Men and the '00s Fantastic Four flicks. However, by involving myself in other genres and franchises, I lost my way with Marvel, and before I knew it, I was trying to keep up with new releases but had no idea what was going on. So, like many others, I just stopped keeping up with it. In short, I contracted a terrible case of superhero fatigue. Could The Fantastic Four: First Steps cure superhero fatigue? From speaking with other ex-Marvel lovers and film buffs, I know I am not alone in feeling this way. I think this is where the phenomenon of 'superhero fatigue' or 'superhero exhaustion' comes from. Audiences don't want their viewing experiences to feel like work. And when you have to dedicate huge chunks of time watching other projects just to be able to enjoy one single film, it feels like a task, and this can be daunting for new fans, especially. In saying this, I wonder, could Fantastic Four: First Steps be the cure for Marvel? We have seen with James Gunn's Superman just how a more-or-less stand-alone superhero flick can stir up a large audience and attract viewers who perhaps don't usually opt to see comic book movies on the big screen. Drawing in a bigger crowd is surely Marvel's goal after this year's releases. Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Brave New World didn't exactly knock it out of the park at the box office, for Marvel movies, that is. Looking forward to Doomsday Wrangling that wider audience would also mean that there would be more eyes on Marvel's huge upcoming event, Avengers: Doomsday. The studio has really thrown everything it has at the wall with this one, by welcoming back a giant list of OG Marvel characters such as Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler, as well as Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Marvel is even bringing back its biggest star, Robert Downey Jr. But as we all know, his character Iron Man sacrificed his life in Avengers: Endgame. But that's not a bother for the Multiverse, as RDJ will be playing a brand new character, villain Doctor Doom. What's more is that the new Fantastic Four and The New Avengers will also play a vital role in the movie. I'm seeing a 'new' theme here, which is perfect for us returning fans. So what do you say? Will you give Marvel another chance? I will certainly be going to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps to meet the MCU's First Family. And who knows, maybe the movie will ignite my passion for all things MCU and spur me on to catch up on some more of the studio's recent projects. The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 24 in the UK and July 25 in the US as part of Marvel Phase 6.
