after 16 years and a quartet of films, where else is there for Po to go? “4,” while nice enough, suggests that the smartest move would be to let the fuzzy guy retire to a calming bamboo forest rather than embark on yet another predictable adventure.The decent animated film still boasts the formidable voice talent of Black, Dustin Hoffman, Bryan Cranston, James Hong and Ian McShane. Now they’re joined by Awkwafina, Viola Davis and Ke Huy Quan. Not too shabby.This go-round, Po is reveling in his mini celeb status — swanning around town, posing for (hand-drawn) pictures with fans and cutting the ribbon at the Dragon Warrior Noodle and Tofu restaurant.

Kirsten Dunst revealed that she regrets not standing up for herself more after she was called a “girly-girl” while starring in the original three “Spider-Man” films opposite Tobey Maguire.“It was a joke, but on ‘Spider-Man,’ they would call me ‘girly-girl’ sometimes on the walkie-talkie,” Dunst, 41, told Marie Claire while promoting her upcoming flick “Civil War.” “But I never said anything … Like, don’t call me that,” she said. Prior to the rise of the #MeToo movement in 2017, Dunst explained that one of the unspoken rules in Hollywood was: “You didn’t say anything. You just took it.” The New Jersey native appeared as Mary Jane Watson — Peter Parker’s (Maguire) love interest — in the 2002 Sam Raimi-helmed film.

yikes! – DeGeneres, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and more today and you’ll witness something akin to a prehistoric fossil recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits. Those poor stegosauruses.First, DeGeneres herself was knocked off her Queen of Daytime perch after allegations were made in a 2020 BuzzFeed article accusing the comic of lording over a “toxic workplace environment.” A resulting thread on Twitter, now called X — appropriately resembling a skull and crossbones — dubbed her “the meanest person alive.” Eeek!An “Ellen DeGeneres Show” source later told The Post, “The stories are all true!”.

cinematic bomb “Madame Web.”Johnson, 34, laid bare her feelings on the big-screen catastrophe, which was produced by Sony in conjunction with Marvel and earned only $26.2 million from its premiere on Valentine’s Day through President’s Day, in an interview with Bustle.“Unfortunately, I’m not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,” Johnson told the outlet in a cover story, which published on Tuesday. “But it was definitely an experience for me to make that movie.

Nicole Kidman’s second crack at starring in ads for the AMC movie chain — after her first AMC “heartbreak” ad campaign in 2021 went viral — was panned in the pop-culture zeitgeist after premiering March 1.Some fans vented their displeasure on X after the first new ad appeared — feeling let down after Kidman’s original ad was both beloved and lampooned when it first appeared in AMC theaters 2½ years ago.“So the new Nicole Kidman AMC ad is almost exactly the same. It’s like one line different and she’s watching Elvis and Avatar 2 instead of Wonder Woman and La La Land,” @awkwardpancake wrote on X (formerly Twitter).Indeed, the new ad has been tweaked from the original version — and even removed Kidman’s iconic line from the 2021 version: “Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.”The new campaign, which will play in AMC Theatres, kicked off Friday and will consist of three ads.AMC will rotate in two other never-before-seen-in-theaters versions of the original pre-show ad over the coming months.In the new ad unveiled Friday, Kidman appears in the same jumpsuit as she did in the original, but instead of watching scenes from “La La Land” and “Creed” flicker on the screen, she’s watching scenes from “Avatar: The Way of Water” and Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.”According to Adweek.com, Kidman’s dialogue is also slightly different — “that indescribable feeling when the lights begin to dim — dazzling images on a huge silver screen, beautiful music soaring through me,” and the ad’s new kicker is: “That’s magic.”“I need whoever’s idea it was to cut the Nicole Kidman AMC commercial shorter to be held accountable,” @boredandtiredok wrote on X.

Ray Winstone says he nearly quit the 2021 MCU movie “Black Widow” — and likened its “soul-destroying” endless reshoots to being “kicked in the balls.”Winstone, 67, who played villainous Russian general Dreykov in the movie — opposite Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow — made his damning comments about working in the Marvel Comics Universe to UK’s Radio Times.“It was fine until you have to do the reshoots,” he said in this week’s issue of Radio Times, according to Daily Mail. “Then you find out that a few producers have come down, and your performance is too much, it’s too strong.”“That’s the way Marvel works,” he added.

Adam Sandler reportedly suffered for his art while filming Netflix’s “Spaceman.” Director Johan Renck, 57, claimed Sandler, also 57, was in “significant pain” while shooting scenes in zero gravity for the sci-fi movie, which is now available on the streamer.Sandler “was on wires, which means that he’s kind of fixed to the set, he can’t piss off when he wants to at all,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “He can’t move, he can’t do anything, and also under significant pain, because that’s what happens with this harness and these rigs — they start digging into your flesh, and after 24 days of shooting, that pain is real, I will tell you.”The Post has contacted reps for Sandler for comment.

Kate Winslet claims that she gets stopped more often for her 2006 rom-com “The Holiday” rather than the 1997 drama that made her famous, “Titanic.”“People come up to me in the streets more about ‘The Holiday’ and the episode of ‘Extras’ that I did than ‘Titanic,’” she said during “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday.The British actress appeared on an episode of the sitcom “Extras” in 2005, where she played a fictionalized version of herself.
