The New York Times Interview: Robert Downey Jr. Talks Oppenheimer and More.
“This summer,” Robert Downey Jr. says, “is the battle for the soul of cinema.” Like a lot of things said by the actor, who co-stars in the thriller “Oppenheimer,” directed by Christopher Nolan and opening in theaters on July 21, that statement was delivered with a soupçon of knowing sarcasm, but there’s truth to it. In a cinematic season dominated by series, superheroes and pre-existing I.P. all aimed at the widest-possible market, whether there is still a theatergoing audience sizable enough to sustain the work of a highly individualistic, highly ambitious director like Nolan – whose latest is a three-hour epic focusing, among other weighty themes, the moral dilemmas faced by the title character, called “the father of the atomic bomb” – remains an open question.

Long before she guest starred as the love interest of rapper Lil Dicky aka Dave Burd on FX’s comedy series, “Dave,” Chloe Bennet was a television mainstay – first on seven episodes of “Nashville,” then another 136 of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..” Those experiences taught her a lot that she applied to Robyn, a photographer who ventures tentatively into a romantic relationship with Burd, a musician and performer who frequently blurs the lines between his professional ambitions and personal instincts. In “Dream Girl,” the penultimate episode of Season 3, those dueling impulsed come to head after Robyn announces plans to move to Los Angeles, forcing them to confront the prospect of a more substantial commitment as Dave’s options – his career and his life – seem to be more open than ever before.
The Cosmic Circus Interview: Clark Gregg Talks Coulson
Some incredible celebrity guests attended Motor City Comic Con 2023, but the highlight if my weekend was meeting Clark Gregg! MCU fans known him best as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson of The Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fame.
I’m a huge AoS fan and loved how Coulson’s character developed over the course of seven seasons. He became several different beings by the end of the series and with Secret Invasion debuting on Disney+ in less than a month, who’s to say ge’s not a Scrull too? I sat down with Clark Gregg to try to get answers to some of these burning questions!
