Based on the book Best of Enemies: The Last Great Spy Story of the Cold War by Eric Dezenhall and Gus Russo, this film will center on CIA agent Jack Platt and KGB agent Gennady Vasilenko, a pair of Cold War spies who developed an unlikely friendship, after being sent to convince each other into betraying their country.

The project is still in the early stages of development, and no studios or streamers are attached to it yet, but Netflix and Apple are reportedly leading the chase for this hot package. Best of Enemies is still looking for a director, as well, but it’s possible Cooper would step behind the camera following his work on A Star is Born and Maestro.

Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale previously co-starred in David O. Russell’s crime comedy American Hustle, and both received Oscar nominations for their respective performances. Best of Enemies would also mark their second collaboration with screenwriter Eric Warren Singer, who co-wrote the script for American Hustle.

Luca Padovan joins the cast as protagonist Mahito Maki, alongside Christian Bale (Shoichi Maki), Dave Bautista (the Parakeet King), Gemma Chan (Natsuko), Willem Dafoe (Noble Pelican), Karen Fukuhara (Lady Himi), Mark Hamill (Grand Uncle), Robert Pattinson (The Grey Heron) and Florence Pugh (Kiriko). Mamoudou Athie, Tony Revolori and Dan Stevens will also star as the Parakeets.

The Boy and the Heron centers on a young boy named Mahito Maki, who moves to a new town to live with his aunt following his mother’s death. There, he discovers an abandoned tower, and a talking grey heron convinces him to enter it, promising he’ll discover a fantastical world shared by the living and dead, where he can be reunited with his mother.

The Boy and the Heron already became a huge hit in Japan following its surprise release this summer. It had its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September, where it served as the opening film, and it will have its theatrical release in the United States on December 8.

According to its official logline, Amsterdam is “a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction” and it centers on “three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.”

The first trailer tells us the backstory of the three main characters, played by Bale, Robbie, and Washington. After forming a pact to protect each other during their days in the army, they’re put on a test after being accused of a murder that they didn’t commit… or so they claim.

As always, O. Russell managed to ensemble a start-studded project that includes many A-list actors, besides the main trio. Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Taylor Swift, Zoe Saldaña, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro are also set to star.

Amsterdam is the director’s first film since 2015 when he released Joy starring Jennifer Lawrence. It’s set to premiere on November 4, just in time for awards season!

Bale is set to join the MCU as the main villain Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder. This role marks his return to the superhero genre, so it’s not a shocker to see questions about his potential return as Batman pop up during a recent interview with ScreenRant.

Bale revealed that he’s never been approached with the offer to play Batman again despite constant rumors, adding he would only come back if Christopher Nolan asked him to.

“We said, ‘Hey, look. Let’s make three films, if we’re lucky enough to get to do that. And then let’s walk away. Let’s not linger too long.’ In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, ‘You know what, I’ve got another story to tell.’ And if he wished to tell that story with me, I’d be in,” explained Bale.

Bale played Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson followed in his footsteps in the years to come.

The new trailer opens with Taika Waititi’s Korg retelling the story of Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), the space Viking, to a group of kids before the scene shifts to Thor’s reunion with his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who takes on the role of the Mighty Thor.

Thor and Jane are shown uniting to defeat the film’s main villain—Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher, who set out on a mission to eliminate all gods. Director Taika Waititi described him as one of Marvel’s best villains yet and said he’s very layered and formidable.  

The trailer also features a hilarious cameo of Russell Crowe as the god Zeus and marks the return of Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie. The rest of the cast will include the Guardians of the Galaxy ensemble, including Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and Karen Gillan, in addition to Jaimie Alexander and Jeff Goldblum.

Thor: Love and Thunder will premiere on July 8, as a part of Marvel’s Phase Four.

Co-star Tessa Thompson has revealed the new addition to the cast in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: “Christian Bale is going to play our villain, which is going to be fantastic,” Thompson said. “I’ve read the script. I can’t tell you much. Lots of exciting text messages exchanged between Natalie [Portman]  and I. We’re going to have fun. Taika [Waititi] is writing [and] directing. Some familiar faces. Some new people coming into the mix.”

The movie will, of course, see Chris Hemsworth returning to his role as Thor. Natalie Portman will also return to her role as Jane Foster — and will also be the Mighty Thor. Thompson will once again play Valkyrie. “She’s king,” she said. “If she can’t find her queen, she’ll just be king and queen at the same time.” 

The movie is set to be released on November 5th, 2021.

This project will serve as a follow-up to O. Russell’s 2015’s Joy, and not much is known about it at the moment. Collider previously reported that the project’s working title is Amsterdam and that it will “follow the unlikely partnership between a doctor and a lawyer.”

Christian Bale is no stranger to working with O. Russell, and he previously scored an Academy Award for the supporting role in his movie The Fighter and received another nomination for American Hustle. Robbie, however, never worked with the director and this film will be their first project together.

The Australian star recently starred in Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood and scored a series of major award nominations for her role in Bombshell. She returned to the theaters this month in the role of DC heroine Harley Quinn in their latest comic book movie Birds of Prey.

That is the latest casting news, according to Variety who claims that the Ford V Ferrari actor is in talks to star in the upcoming Thor film. Thor: Love and Thunder will be the follow-up to 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok and see Chris Hemsworth reprise his role as the Nordic god. 

It was revealed during San Diego ComicCon that Jane Foster, who has been portrayed in the series by Natalie Portman, would be lifting Thor’s hammer Mjolnir and will embody the persona of Mighty Thor as depicted in the comic books. Director Taika Waititi’s following of the canon possibly means that Cul will be the new villain in Love and Thunder. The God of Fear, as he is known, is Thor’s uncle and could be who Marvel bosses are eyeing Bale to play. 

Filming in Thor: Love and Thunder is expected to start filming in Australia in August ahead of a November 5^th, 2021 release.

This 2008 superhero film featured the most memorable appearance of the iconic villain Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, who won posthumous Oscar for his performance. Bale was asked how he feels about Joaquin Phoenix stepping into this role and had nothing but words for praise for the actor.

“Joaquin is one of the best actors around, you know, and obviously I worked with Heath… It’s a brave thing to follow up that performance and he always makes interesting choices. Dying to see it, I wish them the best with that,” said Christian Bale about the new Joker movie.

Oscar-winning actor also discussed Robert Pattinson’s casting in the upcoming Batman movie and described the former Twilight star as a fantastic choice for the role of the Caped Crusader, that once belonged to him.

Ford V. Ferrari centers on the battle between Ford and Ferrari to win Le Mans in 1966. It follows engineer Carroll Shelby and race-car driver Ken Miles, who team up to make racing history by building a car that can beat Ferrari for Ford Motor Company.

Oscar winners Matt Damon and Christian Bale will take on the main roles, and they’ll be in a pretty good company. The supporting cast features the likes of Caitriona Balfe, Jon Bernthal, and Tracy Letts and Remo Girone as Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari.

Judging by the first trailer, Ford V. Ferrari may be on the front lines of this year’s Oscar race. Its release date also hints at its potential – the film is scheduled to come out on November 15th, in the peak of awards season.
