24 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of April 22, 2024
As Marvel’s Mahershala Ali-led Blade reboot is still delayed by constant script revisions and creative differences, two former Marvel alums have taken matters into their own hands. Frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, who last worked together on 2018’s Black Panther, have reunited for a Black vampire film set in the Jim Crow South. Principal photography began earlier this month, which gave the public a glimpse into what to expect when the film is released next year. One on-set photograph in particular provided a first look at Jordan in character, and there was much to say about his late 19th-century costuming — mostly that his outfit looks exactly like something his embattled Creed III co-star Jonathan Majors would wear to run errands.
Although the Quantamania actor caught an unexpected stray on the timeline, he was hardly the only one torched this week. Other burn victims included a game designer with one foot in the grave, the Dune character you can find in your supermarket’s frozen aisle and the potential celebrity baby who may set a new record.
