Every movie showing at the 2023 Venice Film Festival

With actors striking across the United States, there were concerns about whether the Fall’s most important film festivals would go on as planned, with Venice arguably topping the list. Just four days ago, Luca Guadagnino pulled his electrifying upcoming release Challengers from the festival’s line-up, given the likely absence of his cast (composed of Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor) to promote the film, and pushed its release from September to April 2024.

Regardless, it looks like the festival held on to a good chunk of its program, with some household names taking their new films to the stunning Italian city for their exclusive premieres. The list includes David Fincher’s Netflix thriller The Killer with Michael Fassbender, Michael Mann’s Ferrari biopic with Adam Driver, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla about Priscilla Presley, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s surprise release Evil Does Not Exist, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Emma Stone-led Poor Things, Ava DuVernay’s Origin, and Wes Anderson’s short The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar which will be showing out of competition. The presence of films by Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, which have both been involved in sexual abuse scandals, is once again attracting major backlash.

The 80th edition of the Venice Film Festival will take place between Aug. 30 and Sept. 9. If the SAG-AFTRA strike, which has been underway since July 14, persists, actors represented by the labor union, and who would be promoting studio and streamer films, will not be able to attend the festival, including names like Bradley Cooper, Adam Driver, Michael Fassbender, and more. The festival’s artistic director Alberto Barbera said, at a press conference for the festival that took place Tuesday, July 25, that he hopes “actors who are in independent [U.S.] productions – and there are many in Venice – will be coming.”

‘Deadpool 3’ maybe bringing back a familiar foe opens the doors to MCU canon chaos

Deadpool 3 was just heating up there, with a steady stream of set photos revealing Ryan Reynolds’ return as Wade Wilson and the sight we were waiting 23 years for, Hugh Jackman in the yellow Wolverine suit. Sadly, the threequel has had to shut up shop for the time being amid the actors’ strike, but the good news is a new rumor is giving fans a lot to think about as we await the ‘Pool’s grand MCU debut restarting production.

According to scooper MyTimeToShineHello, the main villain of Deadpool 3 could be a “familiar face” who’s already been established to exist on Earth-616. Emma Corrin was previously rumored to be serving as the film’s main villain, but an addendum to this intel is that they are actually a secondary antagonist. As for which familiar foe from the MCU’s past could be coming back in Deadpool 3, the options are endless.

An examination of this thread over on Twitter (or *sigh* X) reveals basically every Marvel villain under the sun being touted for a DP3 return. One option floated is the Scarlet Witch herself, although don’t forget she’s supposed to be getting her own Disney Plus special instead. Others are hoping for Ultron to get his due after not being seen (in live-action, anyway) since 2015. Honestly, though, the most mind-blowing option would be bringing back Quicksilver as a bad guy.

Given that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is now Sony’s own Kraven the Hunter, Deadpool would no doubt have a lot of fun with the Age of Ultron star’s impact on the Marvel multiverse. And it would certainly be one heck of a twist. Like the man himself says, we wouldn’t see that coming.

But, of course, let’s not get too carried away with ourselves as this is very much just unconfirmed scuttlebutt at this point. Nevertheless, with Deadpool 3 currently halted, any more distractions like this one are welcome. Otherwise we’ll just channel Sad Wolverine and sit on our beds while stroking a framed photo of that Jackman set pic.
