Minority Mindset

However, that doesn’t appear to be what happened. In an interview with Next Best Picture, Shakman explained that Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, didn’t ask for any elements to be added to the movie to connect it to future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

While researching Nancy Meyers’ films for Vulture, I had the chance to interview several stars, including Cameron Diaz, Steve Martin, and Kieran Culkin, asking them to recall their experiences. But my conversation with Diane Keaton was truly special – wonderfully eccentric, charming, and funny. She even jokingly wondered if I’d get in trouble for a question, and at one point, playfully scolded me with a sort of poetic rant about how people behaved during the pandemic. Because it was so delightful, we decided to share the full, lightly edited interview.

Below, more tributes to the late Diane Keaton.

Diane Keaton died on Saturday, October 11th, in California, according to a report in *People Magazine*. Her family has requested privacy, and no further details about her death have been released. She was 79 years old.

Diane Keaton wasn’t just admired by Woody Allen; she also became a frequent collaborator with Nancy Meyers, appearing in four of her films, including *Father of the Bride* and *Something’s Gotta Give*. Keaton became known as a filmmaker’s dream, bringing a natural charm and thoughtful approach to her work. In a 2020 interview with Vulture, she explained that working with Meyers pushed her to be her best: “With some actors, you can get away with anything, but with Nancy, you really have to stretch yourself and exceed your limits—and that’s a good thing.” Keaton also wasn’t afraid to take on unexpected roles, like playing Justin Bieber’s grandmother in one of his music videos, a fun-loving character needing a night out. She continued to act throughout her life, with *Summer Camp* marking her final film in 2024.

Marvel Studios is starting to promote its upcoming 2026 series, *Vision Quest*. Paul Bettany has confirmed that the show is the third part of the story that began with *WandaVision*. To build excitement, Marvel is holding a large panel at New York Comic-Con to discuss *Vision Quest* and its place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ares is the third film in the Tron series, continuing the story after Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010). While the previous films weren’t massive successes in theaters, and this one likely won’t be either, Disney invested a reported $180 million to keep the Tron franchise alive. Disney actually makes most of its money from theme parks and cruises, not movies, and refreshing the Tron brand – even if Ares doesn’t perform well at the box office – helps increase the popularity of attractions like the Tron Lightcycle / Run rollercoaster at Disney World. Fortunately, the new movie also has a compelling story to tell.

Channing Tatum recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his research for a new film based on the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, who is currently in prison in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tatum described a particularly sad detail he learned about Manchester, saying it helped him understand the man behind the story.
