Director Jon Watts says Tom Holland’s Spidey will be struggling with the burden of responsibilities in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

He is the pioneer, one of the finest actors among all the Khans if I may say, and he is the biggest Khan for me. So, I had to tick that box of acting with Irrfan. I know it is a small role but that does not matter. I know I am too excited, and I am really looking forward to this one.”
She will start shooting for the film from May 15. Kareena
She said that their latest film, The Hustle, was an opportunity to practice her British accent and work with Wilson on “improv”.
“Improv is not my strong suit, especially when trying to stay in an accent. I went from thinking this would be a fun comedy job where I got to wear lots of outfits and say really clever things about being mistreated by men to [doing] really hard work in two areas that don’t come easily to me,” shared the actor.

Director Dexter Fletcher has revealed that it was Rami Malek, the lead star of Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), who first approached him to replace director Bryan Singer on the Freddie Mercury biopic as the actor thought he could do a “better job”.
It was in December 2017 when Singer was fired over his repeated absences from the film’s set. He was replaced by Fletcher, who had started working on another biopic, Rocketman, based on the life of legendary musician Elton John.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Fletcher recalled that he received a call from Malek where the actor urged him to save the project. “Rami was like, ‘We f ***** g need you, man. We need somebody. If you come to set and s**t on the floor, you’ll still do a better job than this guy’,” Fletcher said. Fletcher, 53, was the first choice for Bohemian Rhapsody but he was not hired because his take was Rrated (for adults) and makers wanted to make a PG 13 (UA rating) movie.

like, ‘OK, we need to put together a movie. Who can we trust with that money? Well, he f**king got us there and delivered’,” he added.
Fletcher said he had pitched the film as an Rrated project which would have explored everything about Mercury, him being an immigrant, his outsider status, and even his sexuality.
