While Andrew has shown interest in reprising his role, sources tell In Touch Weekly that Tobey is only willing to return if the offer is right. An insider noted, “The cheques for Spider-Man have been, for the last 22 years, the foundation of Tobey’s wealth.”

The source added that after helping “No Way Home” become a massive success, Tobey is not eager to walk away and is negotiating for a role in the planned 2026 sequel. According to this close friend, Tobey “drives an extremely hard bargain and demands Tom Cruise-level paydays.”

While the 49-year-old actor is open to continuing with his iconic superhero role, he insists he will only return for a “giant cheque.” The insider concluded, “Tobey’s legendary poker skills also come into play, because he absolutely hates leaving money on the table.” It remains to be seen if studios will meet his demands and if Andrew will join him for another round in the franchise.

Naeem Qasim appointed as leader of Hezbollah

Naeem Qasim

BEIRUT: Naeem Qasim has been appointed as the interim leader of Hezbollah after the martyrdom of Hassan Nasrallah.

A month after the martyrdom of Hassan Nasrullah, the Lebanese resistance organization Hezbollah has elected Naeem Qassem as its official leader.

Naeem Qasim was Hassan Nasrullah’s deputy for a long time and after Hassan Nasrullah’s martyrdom, he was made acting head of the organization, while he had previously been a member of the Hezbollah Shura Committee three times in a row.

After the martyrdom of Hassan Nasrullah, there was a strong possibility that his cousin and son-in-law Hashem Safieddine was elected as the head of Hezbollah, but Safieddine was also martyred in an Israeli attack a few days ago.

It should be noted that Hassan Nasrullah, who was the Secretary General and head of Hezbollah for a long time, was martyred in an Israeli attack last month.

Diljit Dosanjh's Concert
  • Diljit Dosanjh’s concert tour attracted around 35,000 fans each day.
  • His recent concert ended in what seems to be a clean-up controversy.
  • Athletes expressed disappointment over the stadium conditions.

Singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert tour, Dil-Luminati, turned Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium into a lively venue, attracting around 35,000 fans each day. However, the excitement quickly faded as athletes expressed their disappointment over the stadium’s condition after the event.

Former youth Asian gold medalist Beant Singh took to Instagram to share his frustration about the aftermath of the concert, posting images that showed the stadium covered in trash. He highlighted the poor state of the track and questioned the environment for athletes in India, asking why anyone would pursue sports under such conditions.

In his video, Singh pointed out that the venue, intended for athletic training, had been turned into a party space, which led to broken equipment and other damages. He stated, “Ye aukat hai India me sports ki, sportsperson ki aur stadium ki” (This is the status of sports, sportspersons, and stadiums in India).

The aftermath included littered alcohol bottles and spoiled food on the track, with vehicles driving over the damaged surface. In response, the Sports Authority of India reached out to concert-goers, stressing that the stadium should be returned in the same condition it was provided.

With approximately 70,000 attendees over two days, a thorough cleanup is scheduled to be completed by October 29, 2024, to restore the stadium for its original purpose.

“I will sue all future executives,” Downey declared when discussing the possibility of being digitally replicated. He explained his feelings about AI, saying, “There’s two tracks. How do I feel about everything that’s going on? I feel about it minimally because I have an actual emotional life that’s occurring that doesn’t have a lot of room for that.”

Downey also addressed his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying he wasn’t concerned about anyone misusing his character. “I am not worried about them hijacking my character’s soul because there’s like three or four guys and gals who make all the decisions there anyway and they would never do that to me, with or without me.”
