Despite positive reviews, Warner Bros’ Birds of Prey didn't soar as high as expected in its debut weekend, bringing in an estimated $33.3 million - which is far below the $50 - $55 million projection. Per Deadline, with an additional $48 million overseas, Birds of Prey's worldwide take is at $81.2 million. Though Birds of Prey's budget wasn't as big as other DC blockbusters, this still isn't the opening a franchise hopes for when plotting out future films featuring Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/05/birds-of-prey-review"] Some in the industry wonder if the R-rating hurt the film overall, as it would have prevented younger viewers from seeing the film. Here's how Birds of Prey ranks in DCEU opening weekends...

• 1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice $166,007,347
• 2. Suicide Squad $133,682,248
• 3. Man of Steel $116,619,362
• 4. Wonder Woman $103,251,471
• 5. Justice League $93,842,239
• 6. Aquaman $67,873,522
• 7. Shazam! $53,505,326
• 8. Birds of Prey $33,250,000

Obviously, at this point, it's impossible to imagine star Robert Downey Jr. playing anyone else but Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tony was the jumping off point for the franchise and that character's fate in Avengers: Endgame capped off a decade-long saga. But if Downey Jr. could have played someone else in the MCU, who would it have been? While promoting his latest movie, Dolittle, the actor sat for BBC 1 Radio and answered questions from kids - ranging from "What was the best birthday party you've ever had?" to "Have you ever peed in a swimming pool?" William, age 10, however asked Downey Jr. if we wasn't Iron Man, which superhero he'd like to be. The answer was "I can’t think of any red-blooded American boy that didn’t imagine themselves as Spider-Man growing up." "However," Downey Jr. added, "looking back on it now —- also because I’m just such a Jeremy Renner fan, and he made it so cool, particularly when he turns into Ronin [in Avengers: Endgame] —- I would say Hawkeye would be my go-to.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvel-cinematic-universe-every-upcoming-movie-and-tv-show&captions=true"] The next stop in the MCU is Black Widow, due out May 1, featuring Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff returning to her clandestine assassin roots to battle the mysterious Taskmaster. For more on the Black Widow movie, check out our explainers on David Harbour's Red Guardian and Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova.

With Birds of Prey opening this weekend, and news that the Star Wars Obi-Wan series on Disney+ was having its production delayed, star Ewan McGregor's been in the news quite a bit recently. And while fans can't wait for him to reprise his Star Wars prequel role as Obi-Wan Kenobi, McGregor told TODAY host Willie Geist, for PEOPLE, that his uncle, actor Denis Lawson, who played rebel pilot Wedge Antilles in the original Star Wars trilogy (and had a fun cameo in The Rise of Skywalker) had been less than enthusiastic about McGregor originally accepting the role of the Jedi master - even advising the actor not to take the part. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=31-celebrity-cameos-in-the-star-wars-sequel-trilogy&captions=true"] “[Denis] was always really dismissive of it," McGregor explained, "because he did a couple of weeks work, sitting in a cardboard spaceship… and yet he had this massive following. It sort of annoyed him.” When McGregor was considering the role of Obi-Wan, Denis "was one of the people who said, ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it,” McGregor said. “And then the nearer I got to it, the more I wanted to do it.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=obi-wans-greatest-moments&captions=true"] For more on Obi-Wan Kenobi, check out everything we know about the series and see the moment when the long-awaited show was revealed during the D23 Expo 2019.

The trailer for Fast 9 (F9) not only introduced the world to John Cena's Jakob Toretto and revealed that Sung Kang's Han was still alive, but it reminded us all that -- oh yeah! -- Oscar-winner Charlize Theron was also still a part of this saga, as her villainous hacker, Cipher, didn't get killed off or captured at the end of The Fate of the Furious. With the franchise notably featuring two Academy Award winners, Theron and Dame Helen Mirren (who also appeared in spinoff Hobbs and Shaw), MTV International asked star Vin Diesel if there were any other acclaimed actors he'd love to bring into the "family." Diesel's reply, when it comes to a "bucket list" celebrity to bring into the fold was "Dame Judi Dench." "I think she'd be awesome," he said in a British accent. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/31/f9-fast-furious-9-official-trailer-1"] Before you throw this idea away as an impossible dream, consider that Diesel co-starred with Oscar-winner Dench in 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick, and that she's done popcorn action fare from seven Bond movies to 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. And, of course...Cats. Vin Diesel also recently hinted that Fast 10 could be split into two films, potentially marking the conclusion of the Fast saga. For more on F9, find out why Justin Lin decided to bring back Han Lue amid the popular #JusticeForHan fan campaign, take a look at the poster for the ninth entry, and watch the Big Game Spot trailer for the film.
