Jared Leto Comments On The Fascination With How Young He Looks: 'It Just Doesn't Matter'

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterAre superheroes impenetrable at the box office? Can any ol’ comic book character make a killing on the big screen?Sony’s antihero adventure “Morbius,” starring Jared Leto as Spider-Man’s eventual foe, will attempt to answer those questions when the vampire-infused horror movie opens in 3,600 North American theaters over the weekend.“Morbius” is estimated to sink its teeth into $40 million to $50 million in its first three days of release, according to independent tracking services. Sony, in an attempt to temper expectations around a newer Marvel character, is predicting a start closer to $33 million. Those ticket sales would be roughly in line with the Warner Bros.

Surprisingly, Chris Rock wasn’t responsible for the night’s best joke (but he did deliver big on the night’s biggest shocker). Instead, the honors went to the three hosts and the inimitable Jane Campion. Here were the best jokes from the 2022 Oscars.

Marvel and DC Comics have been two warring companies for decades with both of their unique, action-packed superhero stories and crime-fighting characters.

Kim Murphy The year’s achievements in film will have to wait one more day for the Academy Awards, but the medium’s lows were dishonored on Saturday morning at the 42nd Golden Raspberry awards.Netflix’s “Diana the Musical,” a filmed performance of the much-derided new Broadway musical based on the life of Princess Diana, had a clean sweep across all of its four nominations, winning in the categories of worst picture, worst director for Christopher Ashley, worst actress for Jeanna de Waal and worst supporting actress for Judy Kaye.Warner Bros.’ “Space Jam: A New Legacy” was the runner-up, earning three wins in worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel; worst screen combo; and worst actor for LeBron James.

42nd Razzie Awards are in — and if you had anything to do with “Diana: The Musical,” you might want to go back to bed.The big, fat Broadway bomb about the Princess of Wales beamed into your living room courtesy of Netflix was this year’s big Razzie “winner,” taking home five of what the group calls its “un-coveted … tacky, gold-spray-painted statuettes.” The streaming version of the stage musical bagged Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Jeanna deWaal), Worst Supporting Actress (Judy Kaye, who actually played two roles), Worst Director (Christopher Ashley) and Worst Screenplay (Script by Joe DiPietro, Music and Lyrics by DiPietro and David Bryan). The group pointed out how richly the “Diana” script deserved the honor, for “featuring some of the year’s most ridiculed dialogue and lyrics — Including rhyming ‘Camilla’ with both ‘Manilla’ and ‘Godzilla.'”Faring almost as miserably was “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” with slam dunks for Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel; Worst Actor (LeBron James); and Worst Screen Couple (James and “Any Warner Cartoon Character or WarnerMedia Product He Dribbles On).” Sadly, that last “Space Jam” triumph meant Jared Leto failed to sweep the two categories in which he was nominated for his Fredo-Corleone-by-way-of-Super-Mario “House of Gucci” performance.
