Ant-Man and the Wasp: Michael Pena Will Return
Michael Pena will reportedly reprise his role as Luis in Ant-Man and the Wasp.
In addition to reporting that Pena will be back for Marvel Studios' upcoming sequel, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the film will begin shooting sometime next year.
The outlet also broke the news that Pena is signed on to star in Columbia Pictures' upcoming horror film, The Bringing.
Earlier this year, Ant-Man and the Wasp director Peyton Reed teased the potential return of Scott Lang's pals from the first movie, saying there's a "fighting chance" they'll be back for the sequel.
Ben-Hur a Big, Expensive Box Office Flop
Ben-Hur had an underwhelming debut at the North American box office, earning just $11.4 million during its opening weekend.
Timur Bekmambetov's film adaptation of Lew Wallace's classic novel boasted a production budget of close to $100 million. As such, Ben-Hur will prove to be a costly endeavor for MGM and Paramount Pictures. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, the film, which placed fifth at the domestic box office, made $10.7 million internationally, bringing its current global total to $22 million.
Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore spoke to the film's performance, saying, "This has definitely been a rough summer for remakes and sequels."
Go Inside King Kong’s Big New Theme Park Ride
Universal Orlando Resort’s newest attraction, Skull Island: Reign of Kong, brings the iconic King Kong back to the Florida theme park in a very impressive manner. Incorporating 3D movie elements, along with a few key animatronics, the attraction -- which officially opened this past month at Universal's Islands of Adventures -- brings the guests onto a 1930s expedition into Skull Island, where they encounter a ton of dangerous creatures, leading up to the King himself.
The basic look of Kong is inspired by the Peter Jackson 2005 film – made for Universal – though the overall storyline is an original one for the attraction, that includes some nods to the Kong mythology and characters.
