S2E21 - NINTENDO CINEMATIC UNIVERSE | MCU Actors Allegations |

Universal Pictures is going from the Mushroom Kingdom to the Kingdom of Hyrule. The studio, which partnered with Nintendo for Illumination's animated $1.3 billion blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie, is reportedly close to closing a "big deal" with the video game company for The Legend of Zelda movie. According to industry insider Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic podcast, Universal's Illumination will develop the animated Zelda movie as the "next big Illumination-Nintendo franchise" after Mario scored as the highest-grossing film of 2023 so far and the highest-grossing video game movie ever. | Famed movie star Chris Pratt recently sat down with ET and discussed a wide variety of topics, one of which being the monumental success of the Super Mario Bros Movie and what was next for the franchise; it was here that Pratt, as transcribed by ET, teased that "news about a sequel to the film should be coming soon." | The Mexican actor, known for his role as Namor in the Marvel movie, was accused of sexual assault by musician and activist Elena Ríos in a series of tweets over the weekend. On Thursday, Ríos called Huerta a "predator" while slamming the nonprofit Poder Prieto, a racial justice advocacy group, for not compensating her for a podcast appearance and alleging the group was protecting the actor. Huerta is a member of the group, according to his official Instagram page, though he is not listed on the nonprofit's membership page. In a follow-up tweet on Saturday, Ríos, who was also part of the group, said she "made it very clear in my exit from (Poder Prieto), that protects the violent sexual predator Tenoch Huerta, to not publish anything from me." The group had recently shared an episode of a podcast on social media, which featured Ríos. Social Media | https://www.reddit.com/r/ComingThisSu... https://www.instagram.com/comingthiss...
