Elizabeth Banks Asked To Direct Thor- Ragnarok, Marvel Never Replied

As she makes the rounds promoting Cocaine Bear, director Elizabeth Banks has let the cat out of the bag about a couple of her superhero film ambitions. For starters, she reached out to Marvel Studios about directing Thor: Ragnarok several years ago. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

But Banks told Variety she never heard back about her Thor inquiry. “Nothing ever happened,” she said. “No one called me. Taika Waititi got the job. Rightfully so.” Part of the reason why she was attracted to the Marvel movie was to work on a more CGI-focused project, something that she’s finally doing with Cocaine Bear. She previously helmed Pitch Perfect 2 and Charlie’s Angels.

Eat Doritos, Get Double XP For Call Of Duty Warzone And Vanguard

Eating Doritos could be your ticket to getting double XP in Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard. Specially marked bags of Doritos are now appearing at retailers in the US, it seems, offering “dual XP” for both Warzone and Vanguard. The packaging states that purchasers get double XP and double weapon XP in both games, which share progression. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Presumably the double XP only applies for a set period of time, but we don’t know the specifics at this stage. You can see what the special Doritos bags look like in the image below, as shared by Twitter user @Aeroenex6793 (via CharlieIntel), who apparently snapped the photo at a Walmart on the east coast of the US.

Chelsea eye Forster move

Chelsea will move for Southampton’s Fraser Forster should Thibaut Courtois leave Stamford Bridge, .

Courtouis only replaced Petr Cech as the Blues’ number one last season after returning from a three-year loan spell with Atletico Madrid but could be set for a return to Spain with Real Madrid and Barcelona circling.

England international Forster, who has missed a large portion of this season through injury, could cost as much as £20m, double what the Saints paid Celtic to secure his services in August 2014.

He has racked up fifty appearances for the south coast club in all competitions, while he won his fourth and fifth international caps in England’s recent friendly double header against Germany and the Netherlands.

I´m committed to Man United, just lazy – Mourinho explains hotel living

Do not worry Manchester United fans, laziness is the reason for Jose Mourinho s hotel living as the manager reaffirmed his commitment to the Premier League giants.

Mourinho has called the Lowry Hotel in Manchester home since replacing Louis van Gaal in 2016, while his wife still lives in London.

The 54-year-old s decision not to buy a house has come into question amid reported doubts over his future at Old Trafford, which Mourinho dismissed on Thursday.

Explaining the reason for living in a hotel, Mourinho said: I am very lazy and because I like to arrive in the hotel, I don t want anyone to be worried because I live in a two square metres room.

I am living in an apartment inside of a hotel where I have all the comfort, the support, where I have everythi…

Serie A Review: Juve leave it late, Roma win thriller

Andrea Pirlo earned 10-man Juventus a dramatic 2-1 victory with a last-gasp winner against city rivals Torino in Serie A on Sunday.

The 35-year-old rifled in from 25 yards deep into second-half stoppage time to cruelly deny Torino and stretch his side s winning run at home in the league to 25 matches.

Juve looked destined to have to settle for a draw after Torino s Bruno Peres scored a superb individual goal midway through the first half, cancelling out Arturo Vidal s twice-taken penalty in the 15th minute.

The home side were even reduced to 10 men 12 minutes from time when Stephan Lichtsteiner was shown a second yellow card, but Pirlo popped up at the death to settle the clash.

Peres goal was Torino s first against their fierce rivals since February…

Vardy the missing link for Arsenal – Keown

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown believes Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy could be the man to lead the Emirates club to Premier League glory in 2016-17.

Vardy is believed to be close to a transfer to the 2015-16 runners-up and Keown feels the 29-year-old is just what Arsenal need.

If you look at Vardy and you look at what Arsenal don t have down the middle with their strikers – someone who likes to run behind a defence – then if you feed him he s a real handful and as good as anyone, Keown told 888sport.

He d be a player who would strengthen Arsenal and give them more variation to their play which they lack down that central area.

Vardy would be Arsene Wenger s second signing ahead of next season following the previous arrival of Granit Xh…

Mertesacker unfazed by Swiss defeat

Defender Per Mertesacker has shrugged off Germany s 5-3 friendly loss to Switzerland and remains confident the team will fire at Euro 2012.

The centre-back found himself alongside Borussia Dortmund s Mats Hummels in the heart of the German defence in Basel on Saturday, in a performance that did little to reassure the fans ahead of the trip to Poland and Ukraine.

The Arsenal man had been sidelined through injury since February, and was understandably rusty against their Alpine neighbours, but Mertesacker feels that it is too early to judge his compatriots.

Yesterday was very disappointing for us but we re looking forward to the tournament, he told Sky Sports News.

It s in two weeks and we ll be in good shape I think.

Although they boast a relat…
