-Black Widow may be delayed indefinitely, but Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh still made the new issue of Marie Claire. Pugh recalls team building trust exercises they did when they first met, including guiding each other while blindfolded. “I think maybe the tiredness did add to my not being so self-aware and just, I suppose, allowing myself to start taking the piss out of Scarlett from day one, which was great. And then from that point onward, we kind of did it to each other.”

-The trailer for Michael Bay‘s covid-inspired Songbird takes place in 2024 where the current virus has mutated into COVID-23 and 50% of people infected die while the rest are forced into stringent lockdown camps. I can’t imagine a movie I’d want to watch less right now.
