Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Countdown

Expect Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to be the highest grossing movie in February. Coming only in theaters Friday February 17, the Marvel Studios film release is something to mark down on your calendars. Let’s begin the countdown.

3 days away, the moment has almost arrived. Starring Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp, the Marvel movie may have a good March and April too. 

Do you like Marvel movies? They’re known for mega budgets and special effects.  Also, the actors are the best in the business. Getting movie stars like Samuel L. Jackson to sign on requires a proven track record. Plus, getting Hollywood legends Bill Murray and Michelle Pfeiffer on board wasn’t easy. 

Last But Not Least

Last but not least, Jonathan Majors, who plays Kang the Conqueror, comes into this movie as a highly anticipated antihero. Everybody is talking about how excellent of a job he’s done. Well, almost everybody. You can’t please them all.

Still, I feel in my gut this movie will perform wonders at the box office. It appears to have all the action and craftsmanship you could want. Paul Rudd is sure to do a backflip I bet. It’s not just about the money. It’s about the details and getting everything right.

The script must have all the right words because the film has all the right people. Have you seen the trailers and promotional materials? I can’t wait to see it come all together.

This is the third movie in the franchise. So, technically we could refer to it as Ant-Man 3. Fans everywhere should know a fourth film is in the works.

Is Paul Rudd the Right Man?

Superhero movies seem to be a major part of global popular culture. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Ant-Man could all play in a movie together. What’s stopping Marvel and DC Comics from collaborating? Anything is possible, right?

In addition, Paul Rudd does a fine job portraying Ant-Man in the movies. It’s awesome seeing him shrink into character. Also, the concept of a miniature (ant) hero saving the day is fascinating. Without a doubt, he made a name for himself as the man, and needs no introduction. Do you agree?

I’m thrilled to see Michelle Pfeiffer in the film. She’s a wonderful actress who paved the way in motion pictures like Dangerous Minds. I think this actress might come close to reaching Pfeiffer’s star power in the future. Also, we have to acknowledge the director Peyton Reed.

How Do You Like Casting Kathryn Newton?

In Ant-Man 3, Kathryn Newton plays Paul Rudd’s daughter. And by the looks of it, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree because she becomes Stinger, another superhero. It takes multiple heroes to take down a single villain. That’s the way the comic book world works.

I follow Marvel on Twitter because I like their productions. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania had a world premiere, and the photos were amazing. Are you on Twitter? Follow @IamGuruJay if you like my content and want interesting tweets.

So, I can’t tell you the ins and outs about the MCU, because I’m not a comic book aficionado or buff. However, I am a movie buff. I love films so much I could make them. Big productions like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania feed me because I know the work involved in making it happen. 


Lastly, I’ve seen the trailer, posters, and commercials. This project seems to be a work of art. The world will know soon if it’s any good, as they release the movie to the masses. In the meantime, you can watch Ant-Man and Marvel Comics Universe movies on Disney Plus and other streaming platforms. There are so many options today to consume your pleasure. Thanks for reading and visiting.

Is Jonathan Majors a Top 10 Actor Now?

Is Jonathan Majors a Top 10 Actor Now?

Jonathan Majors doesn’t mind playing the villain. In fact, in his new Marvel Studios movie Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania he portrays a one of a kind antagonist. Do you remember Thanos? Kang the Conqueror played by Jonathan Majors is Thanos 2.0. Some of his superpowers include erasing timelines and rewriting history. If you’re a comic geek or buff you will love the Hollywood star in this flick. Have you seen any of the trailers or promotional materials?

Moreover, if you’re into movies and like the best actors, then Majors is your man. At 33 years-old, he’s built a remarkable filmography. What is more, the actor remains focused on his career. Are you a fan of this movie star? What is your favorite Jonathan Majors film so far? Notice, I say so far because his best may be yet to come. Another actor known for playing a villain is Samuel L. Jackson. His best work came after the age of 40. Part of Majors’s success is his keen ability to pick the best movies to play in. Working with the best talent and budget makes all the difference.

In addition, Majors plays a lead role in Creed III, directed by Michael B. Jordan. He’s not only seizing the days; he’s seizing the years. 2022-2023 is the movie star’s time to shine. They say he’s one of Hollywood’s most in demand talents. This is all by design. When you research him, you’ll discover he earned a BFA from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MFA from Yale University. 

I highly recommend Devotion, The Harder They Fall, and The Last Black Man in San Francisco. I’ve seen all three films and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Based on a true story, Devotion tells a touching story about the first Black Naval aviator officer Jesse Brown in the Korean War. The onscreen camaraderie between Jonathan Majors and Glenn Powell is inspiring. Moreover, both The Harder They Fall and The Last Black Man in San Francisco make a statement in different ways. The Harder They Fall blazed a trail and The Last Black Man in San Francisco laid a foundation.

Revisit This Post in Three Years

So, do I believe Jonathan Majors is a top 10 actor now? This is an intriguing question because there are many areas where this actor excels. Jonathan Majors can carry a film. He delivers high quality. I can’t overstate his star power enough. His box office results show all we need to know. Plus, the studios, directors, and actors all love working with him. But he’s only 33 years old. Leonardo DiCaprio’s 48 by comparison. Morgan Freeman’s a young 85. Age is just a number. But Majors is a new movie star who deserves recognition.

Although it might be a stretch to call him a top 10 actor now, revisit this post in three years and see if he’s on top then. Can we agree, at least, he’s one of the best actors? I think Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania shows why he is a huge movie star. And I think his fans will love him in Creed III. Everybody is waiting for that hypothetical fight to happen on March 3, 2023.

In the entertainment world, it’s in a celebrity’s nature to make mistakes. Here’s Majors and he is not making a lot of mistakes. He played his cards right. And from what I can tell it’s a good hand. That’s why the star is shining bright. If he’s not a Top 10 actor yet, he will be. Wait and see.

Elle Fanning Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Under 25

Elle Fanning Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Under 25 and Beyond Fine

I love writing about actors, especially Hollywood’s hottest actresses. Elle Fanning is beyond fine. Have you ever seen a star shine as bright as Elle? She has an entire magazine named after her after all. Seriously, her name is huge in Twitter Circles and on Instagram. Right now, you can follow her on Instagram along with 6 million other accounts. Where do I start handing out the accolades? Everything you can imagine Fanning can do on the silver screen. She is the 24-karat gold Bruno Mars sings about…that white gold Michelle Pfeiffer/ Uptown Funk. 

Will we ever see another star quite like Elle Fanning again? At 24 years old, she’s already accomplished what 50-year-old actresses have in Hollywood. It’s incredible how this celebrity entertains a wide audience. Like Jennifer Lawrence, everyone can enjoy Fanning’s filmography. From film to TV and now video games, the actor is presenting her talents everywhere. Yes, check out Newsweek for more on the video game development (Death Stranding 2) featuring the Hollywood star. 

I’m looking forward to every work she’s in because I feel she’s fun and pleasant. Plus, she is equipped with a plethora of skills. With her range and my originality, we can take over the world. All I’m saying is that these past few years have been enjoyable and entertaining thanks in large part to Fanning. 

Does she have Tinseltown’s best smile or what? I’ve followed this celebrity for years, and she’s turned my frown upside down on more than one occasion. There is not a bad script she has yet to memorize. All Fanning needs now is her own superhero movie franchise like Scarlett Johansson, and we’ll start having a discussion on her excellence. This could transform my blog. 

Born in Conyers, Georgia, Elle Fanning is a star like no other. I think you might like her performance in Mary Shelley. There is something about this young lady. In the future, they’ll say she was a classic actress. Will she become the Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts we know she can become? What a time to be alive! We can reflect on and imagine simultaneously whatever we want to. Currently, my attention is on the shining star who I believe is highly gifted and talented. Also, she is a gorgeous beauty who is Hollywood’s crème de la crème. It’s easy to see how she could be Hollywood’s Hottest 25 under 25 and 30 under 30.

Please tell me you’ve seen Hulu’s The Great and The Girl from Plainville. If you haven’t seen them, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. Sometimes I compare celebrities: highlighting differences and similarities. Today, I would compare her with Elizabeth Olsen. Both actors are at the top of their craft on film and television. And both have a big past, present, and future in the entertainment industry. Are you excited as I am about Elle Fanning’s works in progress? Isn’t she a breath of fresh air?

Jurassic World Dominion Countdown

Jurassic World Dominion gives new meaning to the expression living under a rock. What’s your comfort level with stones? When does the stone age start and end? It seems like we will be living in the Jurassic period in June. So let’s begin where the story ends as we start our countdown to another movie.

Making a fire may not require rubbing stones together, but it still works. No matter what period, you need elements of fire to dominate the planet. In 2022, the release of Jurassic World Dominion is right on time.

Coming to theaters June 10, Jurassic World Dominion stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Shining brighter than ever, the Hollywood stars will align and create a lunar event. The onscreen chemistry of Pratt and Howard will catapult the box office walls. I expect this movie to rule the box office. And shattered records are also predicted. Will they run out of tickets to print? Who knows?

Jurassic World Dominion is the third movie in the Jurassic World franchise. Before World, we had Jurassic Park. It’s more than American. These flicks are a part of global popular culture. Whether you see it on the big or small screen, the film has fascinating characters who will live on in our imaginations.

Park Vs. World

Do you like Park or World better? Should we even compare them? Are they collectively the same franchise? Whichever way you see them, you must see them. In 2022, World will have superior
special effects, but what about the screenwriting and acting?
Because Jurassic Park and Jurassic World function as joint ventures, it’s challenging to answer the above questions. Jurassic World Dominion should be huge. Don’t be surprised if this one is the biggest in terms of profit and success. Here is the countdown.

Top Gun: Maverick Countdown

What movie buff doesn’t know Tom Cruise? You could say his name is the same as action. Did you hear he does his own stunts? If you haven’t heard already, the Top Gun star will hit the silver screen internationally again on May 27. Here is the Top Gun: Maverick countdown.

Where do we start? Top Gun: Maverick picks up where the 1986 film left off. Hollywood was a lot different then. Shining bright as ever, the stars were stars. Their powers compelled a magnitude. How could you suppress a larger-than-life figure like Tom Cruise for 36 years?

I believe Tom Cruise was not a day over 25 when Top Gun was released. At the age of 59, he is a legendary actor. But let’s get one thing straight. It’s not a one-person show. Multiple men stand next to Cruise on that red carpet.

I am awestruck when I think about how many people receive credit for making a motion picture. But, making it happen in a pandemic under tight restrictions and guidelines is unbelievable. So, give Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer some accolades for making the film. And let’s not forget the rest of the cast like Val Kilmer, Jennifer Connelly, and Jeff Bridges.

From the director to the extra, everybody can make a difference in a movie’s success. I feel Top Gun 1986 was successful because they made the most of their resources. You don’t need a big budget for crazy box office results in filmmaking. Sometimes, getting people out is all you need to make hundreds of millions of dollars. The horror film Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele, is proof of a movie with a micro-budget doing macro numbers. 

Below is the official Top Gun: Maverick trailer. Preview it at your leisure. Do you plan to see it?

21 Bridges Actors Black Panther Celebrities Chadwick Boseman Da 5 Bloods Denzel Washington Entertainment film Get on Up Hollywood Movies

Remembering Chadwick Boseman

    The Marvel universe misses Chadwick Boseman. The real universe misses Boseman. I miss Chad. He came to Hollywood like a meteor. He was a movie star in every sense of the word. His meteoric rise in movies is felt in all the galaxy. As King T’challa in Black Panther, he gave children all around the world a superhero to admire. And he was self-conscious of the roles he accepted. He wasn’t acting just for a paycheck. Chad had a passion for the craft. He respected it, and it respected him.

    Chadwick Boseman, the actor, earned a degree in directing. Who knew? He was also classically trained in Oxford England, where he received sponsorship from none other than Denzel Washington. He gave us a lot in a short period. It is sad how he died of cancer. This news stunned all of his fans. Boseman had a solid global fan base for good reason. 

    Let’s remember Chadwick Boseman in this space. Who could forget his portrayal of Jackie Robinson in 42?  I (for one) sure can’t. Do you remember his brilliance as James Brown in Get on Up? What about his performance in Marshall? How did he pull that one off? Chad was brilliant at playing real-life heroes because he was a hero all this time. 

    Born in Anderson, South Carolina, the hometown hero was electric. Despite having colon cancer, Boseman went to work, where he contributed greatness. His performances in films such as 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods showcase a wide range of talent. He made a major impact on the film industry because there was no one else quite like him in Hollywood. Tons of actors never “make it,” but Boseman made it. He was driven. That drive is unexplainable. It comes from within; but, it is not without. Fortunately, the universe never really loses a star. His art will live on forever!

Why Constance Wu Is a Top Actress


In 2006, Constance Wu launched her movie career. She played Jenn in Stephanie Daley. Her second movie was The Architect starring Anthony LaPaglia and Viola Davis. Years later, she would not only make movies but TV history!

Born in Richmond Virginia, the actress started her career in theater and transitioned to the silver screen. Did you know she worked as a waitress and once served Bill Murray? After Crazy Rich Asians and Fresh Off the Boat, it is a safe bet to say she won’t serve tables for a living again.

They say success doesn’t happen overnight. Constance Wu’s career has been a gradual rise. In all fairness, some movies should have been made a decade ago. I believe Constance Wu is a top actress. She is also a beautiful Asian actress.

I don’t see any reason why we can’t compare her to Lucy Liu or Sandra Oh. She paid her dues, and it is time to recognize her value. Constance Wu is one of the best in show business and has a place in Hollywood, but I believe her work is being underestimated.


The Good News

Fans are supporting Constance Wu in more ways than one. First, Constance Wu’s recent 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians made $238.5 million at the box office. Second, Fresh Off the Boat is renewed for a sixth season. That’s part of the reason why Wu is the leading actress in the 2019 Hustlers movie. The movie is based on a true story. Are you excited to see it?

Her Hustlers costars include Jennifer Lopez, Keke Palmer, Cardi B, and Lili Reinhart. With such a great cast, I expect the acting and soundtrack to be award-winning. There is too much talent in Hustlers for this movie to fly under the radar.

 The film feels authentic and I know fans will enjoy every minute. I think the trailer and promotional materials are high quality. Overall, they’re doing a good job marketing this film. I’m looking forward to seeing it come September 13.

I believe Constance Wu is in a terrific position to make a lot of money or win an Oscar. It is up to her how far she takes it. The ball is in her court.

      I would like to compare Constance Wu to Sofia Vergara and Eva Longoria. The actresses are all similar because they have highly rated TV shows in their past. Fresh Off the Boat made TV history like Modern Family and Desperate Housewives. Still, Wu shouldn’t be wholly defined by the show’s success, neither should Vergara and Longoria. Longoria has had incredible success outside TV. In other words, Constance can hold her own.

Right now, she is a respected actress because she is true to the craft. Did you know she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) from the State University of New York, Purchase? Constance is a certified thespian who understands what she brings to the table. She has gained the experience and now she has endless opportunity. Give it to her.
