<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom&#8221; has earned, as of New Year&#8217;s Day, $81.8 million. The original 2018 film made $215.4 million over the same time period as it was on its way to $1.2 billion at the global box office, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/wonka-box-office-aquaman-new-years-1235776921/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The </a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood Reporter</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Jason Momoa-led film has had a poor showing at the box office following its release on December 22, coming in way under expectations after earning $27 million over the Christmas weekend and another $23.5 million over the four-day New Year weekend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DC superhero sequel and final movie from DC&#8217;s Extended Universe appears to be doing slightly better overseas where the James Wan movie has earned $173.6 million as of Monday, according to </span><a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt9663764/?ref_=bo_se_r_2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Box Office Mojo</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the clear winner over both holiday weekends has been the Timothée Chalamet-led backstory of the famed fictional chocolatier Willy Wonka. It is the latest remake </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">based on the 1964 novel &#8220;Charlie and the Chocolate Factory&#8221; by Roald Dahl. The original novel&#8217;s first film adaptation was 1971&#8217;s &#8220;Willy Wonka &amp; the Chocolate Factory,&#8221; starring Gene Wilder as Wonka.

<p>Warner Bros. also released another film over the holiday, the Broadway musical adaptation of Alice Walker&#8217;s novel &#8220;The Color Purple.&#8221; The film has had less time than the rest after it opened December 25 with $18.5 million.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom&#8221; is projected to have an even worse opening than &#8220;The Marvels.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; sequel opens on Friday, December 22. It is currently estimated to bring in $37 million to $43 million at the domestic box office over the four-day Christmas weekend, according to </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/aquaman-2-box-office-christmas-1235767054/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Hollywood Reporter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In comparison, the box office bomb that was the female-led sequel to &#8220;Captain Marvel&#8221; debuted to a $46.1 million opening weekend in November.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Jason Momoa-led sequel from DC and Warner Bros. has a storyline that focuses on  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aquaman balancing his &#8220;duties as king and as a member of the Justice League, all while planning a wedding,&#8221; a </span><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9663764/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">description</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the film read. &#8220;Black Manta is on the hunt for Atlantean tech to help rebuild his armor. Orm plots to escape his Atlantean prison.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If estimates are correct, the upcoming sequel will not only do worse than Marvel&#8217;s latest movie but also generate less than the original &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; did in 2018 when it scored $105.4 million over the four-day Christmas holiday weekend, the outlet noted.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, despite the low box office projections, &#8220;Aquaman 2&#8221; is expected to be at the top of the box office due to what is expected to be a weak Christmas weekend flanked by &#8220;Wonka&#8221; and the Oprah Winfrey Broadway musical adaptation of &#8220;The Color of Purple,&#8221; both from Warner Bros.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Superhero movies have mostly struggled this year, with DC already suffering a blow with &#8220;The Flash,&#8221; which <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2225635841/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debuted</a> in June at $55 million and ended up making $108 million at the domestic box office. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The superhero movie starred troubled actor</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-flash-fizzles-at-box-office-despite-being-called-one-of-the-greatest-superhero-movies-ever-made"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Ezra Miller</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which some say could&#8217;ve led to the movie&#8217;s dismal numbers. Warner Bros. had a challenging time promoting the film due to controversies involving Miller in the months leading up to the release after he faced multiple accusations of criminal activity. The studio partially relied on word of mouth to publicize &#8220;The Flash&#8221; and the then-inherent popularity of the superhero genre.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In November, &#8220;</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-marvels-continues-to-flail-at-box-office-earns-worst-second-weekend-drop-of-all-time"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Marvels</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8221; suffered the worst</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/female-led-the-marvels-has-worst-ever-opening-weekend-in-mcu-history"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">opening weekend</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise history and the worst second-weekend drop of all time for Marvel Studios, beating out the previous holder &#8220;Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantamania.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Brie Larson-led film fell 78% in box office performance for its second weekend out and had the worst-ever box office drop for any modern-day Hollywood superhero film, The</span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/hunger-games-prequel-box-office-opening-1235663158/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood Reporter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> noted.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">actor</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> held up two long pieces of cut braided hair while getting the rest shorn down to the scalp.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Shavin&#8217; off the hair … doing it for …” he said, before pointing to his shaved head and exclaiming, “I&#8217;ve never even felt the wind right there!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Doing it for single-use plastics,” Momoa explained. “I&#8217;m tired of using plastic bottles, we gotta stop, plastic forks, all that s***, goes into our land, goes into our ocean.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I&#8217;m here in Hawaii right now, and just seeing things in our ocean, it&#8217;s just so sad,” he continued. “Please, anything you can do to eliminate single-use plastics in your lives. Help me, plastic bottles are ridiculous … we&#8217;re going to keep going — oh, man. Love you guys. Aloha,” the “Dune” star concluded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The video caption further implored social media followers to “be better at protecting our land and oceans” by eliminating single-use plastics from our lives. He railed against “plastic bottles, plastic bags, packaging, utensils — all of it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t the first time Momoa has taken a stand against plastic. In August, he made waves by distributing aluminum bottles of purified water on a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii. He did so to celebrate the airline partnering with his water company, Mananalu, People </span><a href="https://people.com/movies/jason-momoa-shaves-head-to-highlight-issue-of-single-use-plastic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor said the idea for the water company came to him while he was on a flight. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s a dream come true &#8230; why can&#8217;t we have aluminum?&#8221; the Hawaii native said. “There&#8217;s sparkling water, there&#8217;s sparkling beer, there&#8217;s soda, soft drinks. Why do I have to have this little single tiny water? So this is my first time being able to do this. So I&#8217;m going to make the announcement on Hawaiian Airlines &#8230; I&#8217;m excited I&#8217;m going home.”</span></p>

<p>Actor Jason Momoa was involved in a head-on collision over the weekend with a motorcyclist in California outside of Los Angeles, local law enforcement officials said.</p>
<p>The California Highway Patrol (CHP) said that the motorcyclist was &#8220;riding his motorcycle westbound on Old Topanga Road, when his motorcycle crossed over the double yellow lines into the eastbound lanes, directly into the path of Jason Momoa&#8217;s vehicle.&#8221;</p>
<p>The motorcyclist &#8220;collided with the left front of&#8221; Momoa&#8217;s vehicle, a 1970 Oldsmobile, which resulted in the motorcyclist being thrown off the motorcycle.</p>
<p>After the collision, Momoa reportedly got out of his car, assisted the motorcyclist, and flagged down passing motorists to call for help.</p>
<p>Video obtained by TMZ showed first responders at the scene of the accident tending to the motorcyclist as Momoa walked back toward his car.</p>

<p>CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/25/entertainment/jason-momoa-crash/index.html">reported</a> that the motorcyclist was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for his injuries, which were not expected to be life-threatening.</p>
<p>Momoa, best known for starring as the title superhero in the 2018 movie &#8220;Aquaman,&#8221; was not injured.</p>
<p>The Momoa story comes amid a flurry of entertainment news from the past 24 hours, including the death of British actor David Warner and TBS canceling Samantha Bee&#8217;s &#8220;Full Frontal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Warner, who was known for his roles in “Titanic,” “The Omen,” and “TRON,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/british-actor-david-warner-known-for-roles-in-titanic-and-the-omen-dead-at-80">died</a> over the weekend from a cancer-related illness at a residential home in London.</p>
<p>“Over the past 18 months he approached his diagnosis with a characteristic grace and dignity,” his family said in a statement. “He will be missed hugely by us, his family and friends, and remembered as a kind-hearted, generous and compassionate man, partner and father whose legacy of extraordinary work has touched the lives of so many over the years. We are heartbroken.”</p>
<p>TBS <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tbs-cancels-samantha-bees-full-frontal-in-latest-collapse-for-late-night-shows">announced</a> that it canceled &#8220;Full Frontal&#8221; after seven seasons because the network wanted to go in a different direction.</p>
<p>“As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we’ve made some difficult, business-based decisions,” TBS said in a statement. “We are proud to have been the home to ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’ and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work. We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future.”</p>


Los Angeles Premiere Of “Ambulance” – Arrivals

Actor Jason Momoa Involved In Head-On Collision With Motorcyclist

<p>After Johnny Depp won big in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, some A-list celebrities showed support for the actor, including model Bella Hadid, actress Jennifer Aniston, and Heard&#8217;s &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; co-star Jason Momoa.</p>
<p>The jury found that Heard defamed Depp in an op-ed about domestic violence published in The Washington Post in 2018, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jury-awards-johnny-depp-15-million-but-hell-get-millions-less-heres-why">awarding the actor $15 million</a>. Heard was awarded $2 million over statements Depp lawyer Adam Waldman wrote about the actress allegedly intentionally messing up her apartment to stage a hoax against Depp.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/jason-momoa-jennifer-aniston-and-the-celebs-who-liked-the-johnny-depp-amber-heard-verdict">report</a> from The Daily Beast confirmed that Hadid, Aniston, Zoe Saldana, Emma Roberts, Gemma Chan, Taika Waititi, Henry Golding, Joey King, and Riley Keough all &#8220;liked&#8221; an Instagram post from Depp about winning in the case and getting his &#8220;life back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Interestingly, while Momoa &#8220;liked&#8221; Depp&#8217;s post, he also liked Heard&#8217;s post complaining about the verdict.</p>
<p>The report noted that other celebrities, including Florence Pugh and Dakota and Elle Fanning, added a heart emoji to a post from Greg Williams Photography, which featured a portrait of Depp and the hashtag &#8220;#youcantkeepagoodmandown.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Naomi Campbell, Pretty Little Liars alum Ashley Benson, and the DJ Zedd all responded to Depp’s post with heart emojis, as did Ryan Adams, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by a number of women, including Phoebe Bridgers and Mandy Moore,&#8221; the report added.</p>
<p data-table="CoV" data-field="body">Depp&#8217;s Instagram post said he was &#8220;humbled&#8221; by the verdict and slammed the media for peddling false claims about him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Six years later, the jury gave me my life back,&#8221; the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; actor wrote. &#8220;I am truly humbled.&#8221;</p>
<p>Depp went on to say his life was turned upside-down when Heard launched her accusations against him, fingering the media for perpetuating the lies.</p>
<p>&#8220;False, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media, which triggered an endless barrage of hateful content, although no charges were ever brought against me,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;It had already traveled around the world twice within a nanosecond and it had a seismic impact on my life and my career.&#8221;</p>
<p>Depp added that he pursued the case in the first place to &#8220;reveal the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the six-week trial, Heard detailed serious allegations of abuse at the hands of Depp, saying he penetrated her with a possibly broken Maker&#8217;s Mark bottle.</p>
<p>Depp and his legal team denied all allegations and told the jury that Heard perpetrated a #MeToo hoax to take from Depp, and also to punish him for leaving her.</p>

<p>A Warner Bros. executive testified by video deposition on Tuesday that &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; star Jason Momoa talked to him about &#8220;chemistry issues&#8221; with Amber Heard, who played Momoa&#8217;s love interest in the film.</p>
<p>Ex-husband Johnny Depp is suing Heard for $50 million over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post about domestic violence, which Depp claims significantly hurt his Hollywood career. Heard has countersued for $100 million.</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you speak to Jason Momoa about chemistry issues between he and Amber Heard?&#8221; Heard lawyer Elaine Bredehoft asked Walter Hamada, President of DC-based film at Warner Bros.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Hamada replied.</p>
<p>Bredehoft did not follow up to ask Hamada about what specifically was said, but the executive detailed concerns from the producer about the duo&#8217;s lack of chemistry.</p>
<p>Continuing, Hamada explained that &#8220;magic&#8221; had to be done in post-production of the movie to help boost the onscreen chemistry between the two actors, including adjusting the movie&#8217;s score and picking the right combination of takes to use.</p>
<p>When Bredehoft suggested this was all commonplace, Hamada agreed, but emphasized that &#8220;a lot of effort&#8221; had to be done post-production, adding, &#8220;the chemistry wasn&#8217;t there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Heard&#8217;s legal team has argued that their client was not boosted in the film&#8217;s sequel due to statements from attorney Adam Waldman.</p>
<p>During the same deposition, Hamada contradicted statements from Heard about being &#8220;released&#8221; from her &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; contract.</p>
<p>The executive said Heard was never released from her contract, but that Warner Bros. exercised their &#8220;option,&#8221; as the contract outlined. He also noted &#8220;Aquaman 2&#8221; was pitched early on as a &#8220;buddy comedy&#8221; between Momoa and actor Patrick Wilson.</p>
<p>Heard testified this month that she was let go from her &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; contract and had to “fight” to stay in the film, which is still an uncertainty.</p>
<p>“They released me from my contract,” the actress told Depp attorney Camille Vasquez. “And I fought to stay in it, and they kept me in it. I just don’t know how much I’m in, actually, of the final cut.”</p>
<p>“I don’t know if I will even be in the final cut or how much I will be,” the 36-year-old added. “It was difficult to stay in the movie.”</p>
<p>Kathryn Arnold, an entertainment expert witness for Heard, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/23/johnny-depp-amber-heard-live-trial-coverage/">argued</a> on the stand Monday that Heard and Momoa had great chemistry in the &#8220;Aquaman,&#8221; and if not for claims from Waldman, Heard would have earned around $50 million over the next five years.</p>
<p>Notably, Arnold said Heard&#8217;s career is comparable to Momoa, Gal Gadot, and Zendaya, among others.</p>

Warner Bros. Exec Reveals He Spoke To Jason Momoa About ‘Chemistry Issues’ With Amber Heard In ‘Aquaman’

Warner Bros. Exec Says He Spoke To Jason Momoa About Chemistry Issues With Amber Heard On Set Of Aquaman 

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s not too shocking when anyone gets divorced in Hollywood, but there are some couples that seem destined to stay together. Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet were one of those couples. That’s why their recent announcement of a split came as such a surprise to so many of their fans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The couple’s statement on their divorce </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYprLX4pTdW/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=eb54297b-9d99-4b4b-ba68-00850ab127df"><span style="font-weight: 400;">read</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">: “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding – and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">And so, we share our family news, that we are parting ways in marriage.”</span></p>
<p>The statement continued, &#8220;We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy, But so that~ as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty. The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We free each other ~to be who we are learning to become…Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life &amp; our Children.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Momoa, 42, and Bonet, 54, began dating in 2005 and wed in secret in 2017. The couple shares two children – daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf – together. Bonet also has another daughter Zoë Kravitz, whom she shares with ex-husband musician Lenny Kravitz. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Part of the reason some fans believed Momoa and Bonet would last forever is the background of their love story. Momoa admitted he fell in love with his future wife when he saw her on “The Cosby Show.” Much later, they ran into each other at a jazz club and were instantly smitten.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Listen it was more than [love at first sight],” Momoa </span><a href="https://ktvz.com/entertainment/cnn-entertainment/2022/01/12/jason-momoa-and-lisa-bonet-announce-split/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> when he was asked about his relationship with Bonet during an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ever since I was 8 years old and I saw her on the TV I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one.’” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He continued, “I was like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life, and I’m going to get you.’ I’m a full-fledged stalker. But yeah, I’ve just always wanted to meet her. She was a queen, always.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When they finally met through mutual friends at a jazz club, he shared his reaction when finally meeting Bonet officially. “I turned around to my friend and I was like ‘ahhh!’ I had f***ing fireworks going off inside, man,” Momoa said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Momoa once told Men’s Health, “I met her over a pint of Guinness. She ordered it. I thought ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe I’m with a woman who ordered a Guinness. I love her.’ When I got to know her, she was the woman of my dreams.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And Momoa didn’t shy away from over-the-top romantic gestures to make his true feelings known. The “Aquaman” star paid to have Bonet’s 1965 Mustang painstakingly restored and documented the whole process on YouTube in 2020.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor wrote in a short Instagram </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CDek6EcD_SR/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">clip</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “Aloha everyone, this is 14 years in the making. I wanted to surprise my wife with her first car she ever bought and bring it back to life and into our family.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Previously, Momoa bought Bonet a donkey just because she wanted one. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I live up in Topanga, on five acres,” he told </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/arts/jason-momoa-braves-new-frontiers.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New York Times</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2017. “I go hiking a lot. I’ve got kids, goats. My wife always wanted a donkey, so I bought her one. We walk our donkey, and we’ve got two [dogs] who are half Malamute, half wolf.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A long infatuation and a few big romantic gestures weren’t enough to save Bonet and Momoa’s marriage, however. The couple says they are committed to raising their children together, but will no longer be continuing their relationship. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet Shock Fans With Divorce News, Saying ‘Seismic Shifts Occurring’

Zoe Kravitz

<p>Actor Jason Momoa has further doubled-down on his call for an investigation into director Joss Whedon&#8217;s behavior while on the set of &#8220;Justice League.&#8221;</p>
<p>Joss Whedon was brought on to oversee reshoots and post-production for “Justice League” after a personal tragedy forced director Zack Snyder to temporarily exit the project. In July of this year, actor Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in the tentpole feature, publicly accused Whedon of “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable&#8221; behavior while on set.</p>
<p>“Joss Wheadon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Accountability&gt;Entertainment,” Fisher <a href="https://twitter.com/ray8fisher/status/1278362556214755329?s=20">tweeted</a> in early July.</p>
<p>“During the LA reshoots for Justice League, Geoff Johns summoned me to his office to belittle and admonish my (and my agent’s) attempts to take grievances up the proper chain of command. He then made a thinly veiled threat to my career. This behavior cannot continue,” he then <a href="https://twitter.com/ray8fisher/status/1293652833615708172?s=20">tweeted</a> in August.</p>
<p>In late August, WarnerMedia launched an investigation into Fisher’s claims against Whedon, Johns, and Berg. After a month of silence, Jason Momoa publicly supported the investigation by posting the hashtag #IStandWithRayFisher on his Instagram daily stories. One week later, Jason Momoa doubled-down on his stance with a fiery Instagram post.</p>
<p>&#8220;THIS S**T HAS TO STOP AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT <a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/ray8fisher/">@ray8fisher</a> AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT HAPPEN UNDER THE WATCH OF <a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/wbpictures/">@wbpictures</a> NEEDS PROPER INVESTIGATION,&#8221; wrote Momoa. &#8220;I just think it’s f***ed up that people released a fake Frosty announcement without my permission to try to distract from Ray Fisher speaking up about the s****y way we were treated on Justice League reshoots. Serious stuff went down. It needs to be investigated and people need to be held accountable.&#8221;</p>

<p>In September, Fisher publicly escalated the fight when he tweeted that Warner Bros. tried to make a deal with him to save Geoff Johns.</p>
<p>“So you can better understand how deep this goes: After speaking out about <em>Justice League</em>, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns. I will not. A&gt;E,” the actor tweeted.</p>
<p>Warner Bros. then issued a lengthy response to Fisher’s tweet, saying that the company has reached out to the actor multiple times in order to have him speak with a “third party investigator” — a request that Fisher allegedly declined on more than one occasion.</p>
<p>“While Mr. Fisher never alleged any actionable misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third-party investigator,” a representative for the company said.</p>
<p>“This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator,” the rep continued. “Warner Bros. remains committed to accountability and to the well-being of every cast and crew member on each of its productions. It also remains committed to investigating any specific and credible allegation of misconduct, which thus far Mr. Fisher has failed to provide.”</p>
<p>Fisher immediately shot back, saying that he met with the investigator during a Zoom call on Aug. 26 and cut the meeting off early so that he could discuss it with his legal team.</p>
<p>“He tried to keep me on the line, but I told him I would need to consult my team before proceeding,” said Fisher.</p>

Jason Momoa Doubles-Down: Joss Whedon, WB Pictures ‘Needs Proper Investigation,’ ‘Serious Stuff Went Down’

Joss Whedon

Sexual Misconduct

<p>Over two months after &#8220;Justice League&#8221; actor Ray Fisher publicly accused director Joss Whedon of inappropriate behavior during the film&#8217;s reshoots, actor Jason Momoa (&#8220;Aquaman&#8221;) has supported WarnerMedia&#8217;s investigation into the allegations.</p>
<p>On Monday, Momoa posted the hashtag #IStandWithRayFisher on his Instagram daily stories, which Fisher later shared on Twitter.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Joss Whedon was brought on to oversee reshoots and post-production for “Justice League” after a personal tragedy forced director Zack Snyder to temporarily exit the project. According to Ray Fisher, who played the role of Cyborg, Whedon’s behavior on set was “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.”</p>
<p>“Joss Wheadon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Accountability&gt;Entertainment,” Fisher <a href="https://twitter.com/ray8fisher/status/1278362556214755329?s=20">tweeted</a> in early July.</p>
<p>“During the LA reshoots for Justice League, Geoff Johns summoned me to his office to belittle and admonish my (and my agent’s) attempts to take grievances up the proper chain of command. He then made a thinly veiled threat to my career. This behavior cannot continue,” he then <a href="https://twitter.com/ray8fisher/status/1293652833615708172?s=20">tweeted</a> in August.</p>
<p>In late August, WarnerMedia launched an investigation into Fisher&#8217;s claims against Whedon, Johns, and Berg, which initially did not yield any findings. According to <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/09/aquaman-jason-momoa-backs-ray-fisher-justice-league-warner-bros-fight-1234572697/">Deadline</a>, Fisher publicly escalated the fight last Friday when he tweeted that Warner Bros. tried to make a deal with him to save Geoff Johns.</p>

‘Justice League’ Star Jason Momoa Supports Investigation Into Joss Whedon’s Alleged Misconduct

<p>Actor John Cusack is a big fan of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders&#8217; particular brand of socialism. In fact, as the &#8217;80s actor made alarmingly clear at a Bernie rally in Exeter, NH on Saturday, he believes if we don&#8217;t stop &#8220;predatory capitalism&#8221; in the next &#8220;ten or twelve years,&#8221; we&#8217;re all toast.</p>
<p>&#8220;[T]he billionaires are getting nervous and all the corporate media is — they hate us, they don’t hate us, they&#8217;re confused. And it seems like every conceivable power structure on earth is trying to kill or derail our movement, but we’re still here,&#8221; declared Cusack, in remarks reported by <a href="https://news.grabien.com/story-john-cusack-we-have-10-12-years-save-planet-climate-capitali">Grabien</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know this form of capitalism takes and takes; it takes whatever, whenever, however it wants,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’ll take our lives, it’ll take our labor, our spirit, our air and water, even our earth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cusack then echoed an alarmist line often repeated by global warming activist Greta Thunberg, but specifically tying the sentiment to Sanders&#8217; policies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth: We have a ten to twelve year window to radically transform our energy systems, or climate change, predatory capitalism, and endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all,&#8221; said the actor. &#8220;And as we can see literally every day, the house is on fire.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bernie, suggested Cusack, is our only hope in these desperate times.</p>
<p>&#8220;But as Bernie tells us, this is no time for despair, it&#8217;s no time for anything but action,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because if we stand together, with him, the future is still indeed unwritten. And there’s nothing more powerful than a movement whose time has come.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cusack then invoked a vaguely defined &#8220;movement,&#8221; by which he appears to mean democratic socialism, which he says is now finally &#8220;close&#8221; to power.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have never had a movement candidate this close to power with a revolutionary movement he’s led and built, ready-to-go, all the way to change the country and help heal the world,&#8221; he said. &#8220;With people of every race, creed, gender, everybody stands together in solidarity when all of us whose labor powers this economy, stop the profiteering and tell the billionaires and the  corporate tyrannies that it&#8217;s time to start treating all human beings with respect and dignity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Video of Cusack&#8217;s remarks below (via <a href="https://news.grabien.com/story-john-cusack-we-have-10-12-years-save-planet-climate-capitali">Grabien</a>):</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="John Cusack at Sanders Rally: ‘We Have 10 to 12 Years’ to Save the Planet from Capitalism" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bc6CgJP9nro?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Other celebrities who&#8217;ve made millions from Hollywood&#8217;s &#8220;predatory capitalism&#8221; have resorted to Thunbergian rhetoric about climate change in recent months, including &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; (which blew up at the box office) star Jason Momoa, who told the United Nations in September that humanity is &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-aquaman-jason-momoa-says-we-are-a-disease-infecting-our-planet-rips-trump-at-u-n">a disease that is infecting our planet.</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;From the atmosphere to the abyssal zone, we are polluted,&#8221; said the &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; star. &#8220;It is a known fact that the great garbage patch floating in the Pacific is larger than the country of France. Even at the depths of the Mariana Trench we are discovering nano plastics. And shockingly, there are more particles of plastic in the ocean than there are stars in the Milky Way. It is shameful.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yet, the greatest threat to small island developing states is that entire islands are drowning into the sea due to the enormous volume of emissions generated by the first world countries,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Island nations contribute the least to this disaster but are made to suffer the weight of its consequences.&#8221;</p>
<p>Similar to Cusack, Momoa laid the blame at the feet of capitalism and failure of the government to intervene enough.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our governments and corporate entities have known for decades that immediate change is needed, yet change still has not come,&#8221; said the actor. &#8220;And when the front line is gone, we are doomed. There is no undoing. If you continue to watch unsympathetic to the issues of island nations, this realization will soon come — that you stood by and witnessed the world cross the critical tipping point, ushering in the death of our planet.&#8221;</p>
