Walt Disney Co on Monday delayed the release of Marvel Studios’ sequels to “Black Panther,” “Thor” and “Doctor Strange” by several months and pushed the next big-screen outing for adventurer “Indiana Jones” to 2023.

Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness have been moved to May 6, 2022, from Mar 25, Disney said in an updated release schedule.

That forced Marvel to postpone its other 2022 superhero films. Thor: Love And Thunder, which had been set for a May 6 release, was moved to Jul 8, 2022. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was set for Nov 11, 2022 instead of in July.

The fifth movie in the Indiana Jones series starring Harrison Ford was delayed until Jun 30, 2023, instead of Jul 29, 2022. Ford, 79, suffered a shoulder injury on set in June and recently returned to filming.

Hollywood studios have shuffled their movie schedules several times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Theatre operators are counting on big blockbusters to help lure audiences back after extended closures.

Among other changes, The Marvels is now scheduled for February 2023 and Ant Man And The Wasp: Quantumania for July 2023.

Following the release of his single “Mahiya” and celebrating 2 decades in music, ex guitarist (Axed the Band) releases new single “Akhri Raat”.

“Akhri Raat is The Uncomfortable Truth about the life we have. We all have lost someone somewhere in our journey and dealt with a lot of pain and grief after that but this song is about the one suffering or heading towards the end, their perspective on leaving this world and loved ones behind and what they go through and what they feel. This song wants people to realize this reality and feel the same things about someone when they are alive and cherish every moment we have with our loved ones. The question we all need to ask ourselves, If we knew that this was our last night on earth, how would we live it? The answer should guide us on how we should live all of our life and cherish every moment” said Murtaza Hassan.

Murtaza Hassan’s journey in music started back in 2001 as a lead guitarist when a couple of college friends, who shared similar passion for music, got together started their own rock band ‘Axed’. For almost a decade ‘Axed’ created its own niche following amongst a very niche market in Lahore. After the band split in 2019, Murtaza continued on his own musical journey and launched his first song ‘Mahiya’ in 2020.

‘Akhri Raat’ is now available on all leading streaming platforms; Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer,  Tidal, Youtube Music and many more.

‘Akhri Raat’ is produced by Erphaan Aly, Video by Ali Jaffer, LYRICS by Murtaza Hasan & Zainab Murtaza, Music by: Aamir Aly

Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, arrested after a drugs raid on a cruise ship on the weekend, received an emotional note today from actor Hrithik Roshan urging him to “own everything you experience”.

Aryan Khan, 23, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Monday along with seven others.

Almost two million people reacted to Hrithik Roshan’s inspirational words within a  few hours that he wrote for Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan who is in the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau.

The 23-year-old, who along with multiple others, was arrested after found to be in possession of drugs, remains in the custody of the NCB till October 7.

Roshan on Thursday took to Instagram and shared a picture of Khan with a lengthy note.

Here’s what he said:

My dear Aryan .

Life is a strange ride . It’s great because it’s uncertain. It’s great cause it throws you curve balls, but god is kind. He gives only the toughest ones the toughest balls to play. You know you are chosen when amidst the chaos you can feel the pressure to hold your own. And I know you must feel it now. The anger, the confusion, the helplessness. Aaah , the very ingredients that are needed to burn the hero out from inside you. But be wary , those same ingredients could burn away the good stuff… the kindness, the compassion, the love. Allow yourself to burn, but just enough.. Mistakes , failings , victories , success… they’r all the same if you know which parts to keep with you and which parts to throw away from the experience. But know that you can grow better with them all. I’v known you as a kid and i’v known you as a man. Own it. Own everything you experience. They’r your gifts. Trust me. In time when you connect the dots… I promise you , It’s gonna make sense. Only if you have stared the devil in his eyes and kept your calm. Keep calm . Observe. These moments are the makers of your Tom. And Tom is going to have a brilliant sun shining. But for it , you must go thru the dark. Calm , still , owning your own. And trusting the light. Within. It’s always there .Love you man .”

Daniel Craig finally got a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame on Wednesday, days before his last movie as James Bond opens in the United States.

“No Time to Die” marks Daniel Craig’s fifth and final outing as the suave British secret agent, ending a role that has spanned 15 years.

The actor’s pink and terrazzo star, the 2,704th on the Walk of Fame at the appropriately numbered 7007 Hollywood Boulevard, was placed next to that of the late Roger Moore, who played Bond in seven movies from 1973 to 1985.

“It’s an absolute honor to be walked all over in Hollywood,” said Craig. “Me being on this pavement surrounded by all of these legends makes me a very, very, very happy man.”

Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, along with Rami Malek who plays villain Safin in “No Time to Die,” were on hand for the dedication ceremony.

Malek called Craig, 53, “old school and classy,” adding, “I can’t wait to see where (your career) takes you next.”

After three delays because of the coronavirus pandemic “No Time to Die” took in a bumper $121 million at the box office on its opening weekend in Britain and international movie theaters.

Daniel Craig’s next act will be playing Shakespeare’s Macbeth on Broadway next March.
