On Monday, Sony Pictures announced it is bringing every single live-action Spider-Man movie back to theaters, beginning with 2002’s Spider-Man, starting April 15.

That means fans can watch Tobey Maguire in his original turn as Peter Parker/Ol’ Webhead, as well as 2004’s Spider-Man 2 and 2007’s Spider-Man 3 — yes, even with that dance scene.

Also on tap is Andrew Garfield‘s turn as the web-slinger in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and its less successful 2014 sequel, as well as Tom Holland‘s 2017 effort Spider-Man: Homecoming, his Spider-Man: Far from Home from 2019 and then 2021’s blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home, which united all three actors thanks to a little tinkering with the Multiverse from Benedict Cumberbatch‘s Dr. Strange.

And just like that, much like a spell from the former Sorcerer Supreme himself, fans might just forget about Sony’s Spidey-adjacent flop Madame Web.

John Wick star Lance Reddick passed away unexpectedly at 60 years old on March 17, 2023, and his widow, Stephanie, has taken to social media to mark the somber anniversary for a good cause.

To a smiling photo of the star and one of his beloved dogs — both wearing sunglasses — Stephanie posted, “To mark the one year passing of Lance, I’d like to encourage his fans to give back.”

She then listed the Instagram handles of “two of Lance’s favorite charities,” MomCares.org and The Walden School.

The former provides “compassionate care to historically under-supported mothers with previous NICU experience,” while the latter is a New Hampshire-based organization that runs summer music education programs.

Stephanie closed by thanking fans “for all your love and support.”

The couple married in 2011 and had two children, Yvonne Nicole and Christopher Reddick.

The coming-of-age film Little Wing is now on Paramount+.

In it, Yellowstone fans will see a different side of that hit show’s resident firecracker Kelly Reilly: She plays a detective and single mom, Maddie, whose daughter, Brooklynn Prince‘s Kaitlyn, is on the wrong track.

Kaitlyn and her best friend hope to solve her mother’s financial woes by stealing a valuable racing pigeon, but instead she forms an unlikely bond with its owner Jaan, played by Succession Emmy winner Brian Cox.

“I knew I had one day with him and that was enough for me to get on board,” the English actress tells ABC Audio.

“I grew up watching his work and he was very warm and playful in the scene we had,” she enthuses.

She added, “We both are used to being driving forces in other roles, and to come together to essentially support this young, brilliant talent that is Brooklynn was lovely.”

Reilly added she and Cox “both got to lean into something a lot gentler” than fans are used to seeing them play.

She said “powerhouse” Prince was “honestly just very easy to love,” adding they tried to “be with each other fully in the scenes and … a delicate bond was formed authentically.”

As for her character’s “practical” wardrobe in the film versus that of Yellowstone‘s Beth Dutton, Reilly says, “I just wanted her to look real, and like a woman who had no interest in clothes, no time. What was happening in her life, trying to hold her family together was all that mattered.”

She continues, “She is a cop and is always either coming home from work or going. I wanted nothing form fitting or self-aware.”

“You could say [it was] a relief,” Reilly admits.

Whenever famously private couple Tom Holland and Zendaya get spotted being cute together it becomes a thing, and such was the case at Sunday’s BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California.

It was there during a break in the tennis action that cameras caught them grooving in their box seats and singing along when Whitney Houston‘s 1987 smash “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” played over the stadium’s speakers. 

Coincidentally, as Dune Part Two continues to rake it in at the box office, Z’s next film happens to be the tennis-themed love triangle film Challengers, due out April 26. 

After the match, which saw Iga Swiatek winning her second Open trophy, she got some face time with Zendaya — to the athlete’s apparent shock. According to video that The Open posted to X, formerly Twitter, the pair chatted and hugged, and the star posed with Swiatek and her new trophy.

“What just happened?” the tennis pro captioned the video.

The Studio City, California, home that is believed to belong to actress and model Cara Delevingne and is registered to her band burned down overnight.

Firefighters arrived to find the home with heavy fire in the rear as flames consumed one room in the back before developing into an attic fire that led to the roof’s collapse, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

It took 94 firefighters more than two hours to access, confine and put out the fire.

The LAFD said one firefighter was injured and is in fair condition while one occupant, a house sitter, had minor smoke inhalation. The LAFD said the injured firefighter fell off a ladder.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Delevingne has posted multiple Instagram Stories about the incident.

“My heart is broken today… I cannot believe it,” the first Instagram Story, which features a photo of her two cats, reads. “Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have,” following that with a broken heart emoji.

The second featured a video of the scene of the fire.

The third Instagram Story was a statement posted to an orange background which read, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the firefighters and people that have showed up to help.” A fourth Story confirmed her cats are safe, thanks to firefighters.

ABC News has reached out to Delevingne for comment.

A veritable who’s who of musical comedy talent is coming together to roast one of the biggest social media fiascos of the year, that “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland. 

Hoping to steal some of the shine from Warner Bros. smash Wonka, organizers promised to immerse patrons in a wonderland of candy-covered delights. In reality, people shelled out around $60 a ticket to stand in a partially decorated warehouse that some on social media said looked more like a meth lab than anything from the movie.

Due out in late 2024, WillyFest – A Musical Parody intends to add some fuel to the Fyre Fest-like disaster.

“It takes a special kind of magic to devastate children and adults alike – and it feels like the only way to find meaning in this chocolate-less catastrophe … is to sing about it,” say songwriters Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner. The Broadway veterans and alumni of ABC’s Once Upon a Time are among those lending their talents to the staged production. 

Songwriting team Tova Litvin and Doug Rockwell added, “When the inspiration for a parody has a con artist, ChatGPT, a mysterious wedding and crying children, it’s hard to resist.” They added, “Who wouldn’t want to write a musical about an experience that goes from joy, to fear, to ‘Why the f*** am I here?'”

Other talent attached to the parody are Garfunkel & Oates and Another Period’s Riki Lindhome, and Daniel Mertzlufft, who created Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical. 

Kraft-Engel Productions, veterans of ABC’s The Little Mermaid Live, among other productions, is producing.

Among Us, the animated adaptation of the hit video game, has attracted some colorful Hollywood names, CBS Studios announced Friday.

Among Us, which at one point had some 500 million monthly active users and more than 4 billion views on YouTube, has groups of small, colorful space-suited characters trying to fix a damaged ship called the Skeld — and avoiding a murderous imposter among them who wants to sabotage their craft.

The Lord of the Rings‘ Elijah Wood has joined the cast as Green; Community and Avengers: Endgame actress Yvette Nicole Brown will play Orange; WandaVision co-star Randall Park will voice Red; and Ashley Johnson, a veteran voice-over actress who guested in another game adaptation, HBO’s The Last of Us, will play Purple.

According to the game’s producer and the forthcoming show’s co-producer Innersloth, Red is the Skeld’s captain, known as a “blowhard” and a “people-pleaser.” Purple is the sarcastic, suspicious chief of security; Green is the “just happy to be there” intern; and Orange is the “spineless corporate shill” and head of HR on the ship.
