Marvel is certainly getting value for its money from Oscar Isaac. New superhero show Moon Knight mixes Marvel's trademark cocktail of action and humor with spooky horror and intriguing Egyptian mythology, and Isaac embodies that mix of styles by playing multiple roles as a normal guy who discovers he's secretly a superhero -- whether he wants to be or not.

The Bridgerton star was tipped as a possible replacement for Daniel Craig as 007 and the Russos - who directed the star on spy flick The Gray Man - think he has the charisma to take on the legendary role following his portrayal of the suave CIA boss Denny Carmichael in the Netflix movie.

The 34-year-old actor said: 'Ah, the B word. I think if you are British and do anything of note, that other people take notice of, then people will start talking about that. That's fairly normal and I'm flattered to be in the category of Brits that people have noticed.'

hours. Though the casinos reopened more than a week ahead of other businesses, getting out of the slump will depend on Macau resuming quarantine-free travel from mainland China -- its largest source o

Part of the appeal of the role for the Star Wars and Dune star was to put a slightly different spin on Marvel's trademark quippy humor from wiseacres like Tony Stark and Peter Parker. "There was a chance to do a different type of comedy," said Isaac of his bumbling character, "with somebody that doesn't know they're being funny." 

The stakes held by Michael Haley and John Clyburn aren't with Kings Mountain Equipment Supply LLC itself, but instead with a different company called AGS of North Carolina LLC that itself had a 10.1% stake in Kings Mountain Equipment Supply, according to the documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The top two vote-getters in the Navajo primary will move on to the November general election. More than 122,000 Navajos are registered to vote, and the tribe generally sees around a 50% turnout for the primaries.
Another stake is held by Michael Haley, husband of the former Republican governor who joined plenty of South Carolina politicians to fight against the Catawbas being able to open a casino in South Carolina.

Also starring Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy, Moon Knight streams on Disney Plus March 30. Speaking about the show to journalists at an online press conference Monday, Isaac described how he drew inspiration for his character's non-superhero personality from British comedy icons Peter Sellers (star of Dr. Strangelove, Casino Royale, Being There and the Pink Panther films) and Karl Pilkington. Yes, really.

In an interview with the , Joe Russo said: 'He's fantastic. I mean, he has more charisma in his pinky than most people do in their entire body. So you know, we'd watch him do anything - I mean we'd watch him read the phonebook!'

In a bid to consolidate power in 1957, Genovese ordered the assassination of Costello, who ultimately survived, though his injuries led him to step back, allowing Genovese to take control before he was sent to prison just two years later. 

True Believer: Warner Bros. Discovery President and CEO David Zaslav is passionate about Wise Guys and is pushing for a high-profile theatrical release; De Niro seen with the late Ray Liotta in Goodfellas

Only one woman, Lynda Lovejoy, has made it past the tribe's primary even as some Navajos warned that a woman as president portends an ominous future for the tribe. That notion isn't as prevalent now, at least not publicly.

She'll join thousands of other tribal members on Tuesday in casting their vote for one of 15 presidential hopefuls in the nonpartisan race. The field includes incumbent Jonathan Nez, former Navajo Vice President Frank Dayish Jr., former tribal Attorney General Ethel Branch, attorney Justin Jones, and Buu Van Nygren, the vice presidential candidate from 2018.

Back together: Robert De Niro, 79, will team up again with Goodfellas scribe Nicholas Pileggi to star in the film Wise Guys, about the rivalry between real-life Italian American mob bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello; seen in April in Las Vegas

Branch has been critical of what she says was the Navajo Nation's slow response to the pandemic under Nez's administration. She co-founded a relief fund, raising millions of dollars to provide food, water and other supplies to Navajo and Hopi families.
The other women in the race are: educator Dolly Mason; scholar Leslie Tsosie; Chinle Chapter President Rosanna Jumbo-Fitch; Frankie Davis, who has advocated for extracting natural resources; former New Mexico state legislator Sandra Jeff, and Emily Ellison, who says she will push the federal government to give the Navajo Nation title to its land if elected.

Sells, a law student at Arizona State University, said she's struggling with experience over change.
Whoever wins, she wants to be assured they will find ways to bring the younger generation back to the reservation.

"And the other aspect that really attracted me was the Egyptian part of it, the Egyptology," Diab said in the press conference. "As an Egyptian, we always see us depicted, or the Middle East depicted, in a way that is called Orientalism, when you see us as exotic and dehumanized. Just showing us as normal human beings and seeing even Egypt as Egypt [was appealing], because 90% of the time, Egypt [in movies] is not Egypt. Imagine Paris and you see Big Ben in the background. ... It's funny, but it hurts."
