The 'Twilight' star thinks it would be a "nightmare" to work on a movie in the superhero franchise and doubts it will ever happen - unless "the world changes" or 'Barbie' helmer Gerwig is on board.

When the host suggested she would be a good fit for Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Man's lover, she replied: “What ends up happening is this algorithmic, weird experience where you can’t ...

Despite having an A-list ensemble cast, including Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, and Kit Harington, the Chloé Zhao film was largely slated by critics - and he didn't take it well at all.
