Josh Brolin's Cable appears in new 'Deadpool 2' trailer
Josh Brolin's time-traveling mutant Cable takes center stage in a new trailer for Deadpool 2 that Ryan Reynolds shared Wednesday on Twitter.

"I was born into war. Bred into it," Cable says in the clip as he formally introduces himself before Deadpool (Reynolds) interjects to complain about the lack of special effects on Brolin and how he is supposed to have a robotic arm.

As Deadpool waits for the special effects to be finished, he portrays a meeting between himself and Cable by using toys. The sequence makes references to Disney's Toy Story and how Warner Bros. used special effects to remove Superman star Henry Cavill's mustache in Justice League.

Footage from the upcoming sequel then returns with Cable taking on a group of soldiers and leaping over a truck. The trailer also includes quick looks at Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Blind Al (Leslie Uggams) and Domino (Zazie Beetz), among others.

"Here's a little hit of PCP. #PremiumCablePackage #Deadpool #Cable," Reynolds said.

Deadpool 2, from director David Leitch, is set to arrive in theaters May 18. Reynolds released a new poster for the film on Tuesday that referenced hit 1983 film Flashdance.


Selena Gomez doesn't expect to 'overcome' depression, anxiety
Selena Gomez doesn't expect to ever fully "overcome" her depression and anxiety.

The 25-year-old singer and actress said in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar that she believes her mental health issues will be a lifelong struggle.

"I've had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety, and I've been very vocal about it, but it's not something I feel I'll ever overcome," Gomez said. "There won't be a day when I'm like, 'Here I am in a pretty dress -- I won!'"

"I think it's a battle I'm gonna have to face for the rest of my life, and I'm okay with that because I know that I'm choosing myself over anything else," she added. "I'm starting my year off with that thought. I want to make sure I'm healthy. If that's good, everything else will fall into place."

Gomez said she's focused on her "health" and "well-being" as she continues to pursue singing and acting. She plans to keep working on her highly-anticipated third studio album, although she has yet to set a release date.

"My next album has been forever in the making. When people ask me why, I'm honest about it: It's because I haven't been ready. I mean, point-blank, I don't feel confident enough in where my music is yet," the star explained.

"If that takes 10 years, then it takes 10 years. I don't care," she said. "Right now I just want to be super intentional with all of the things I'm doing."

Gomez's interview follows reports the singer sought treatment this month for depression and anxiety. Sources told People Gomez "came back feeling very empowered" after completing a two-week program in New York.

"She felt like she needed to get away and focus on herself with no distractions," an insider said. "She wants to go again later this year. She feels and looks great. She's still working on new music and is excited about it."

Hilary Duff becomes Sharon Tate for upcoming film: 'It was a true honor'
Hilary Duff transformed into murdered actress Sharon Tate on Instagram in a behind-the-scenes photo that shows her look from upcoming film The Haunting of Sharon Tate.

"Had the incredible opportunity of playing Sharon Tate the past two weeks in an independent movie. She was an amazing woman and it was a true honor," Duff said Tuesday alongside a selfie which features the former Disney star channeling Tate with a '60s hairstyle, long eyelashes and smokey eye makeup.

The Haunting of Sharon Tate, from writer and director Daniel Farrands, will follow the final days leading up to Tate's murder. The plot is inspired by the late Hollywood star and starts a year before her death when she was having dreams about ghosts haunting her house and about being killed by a satanic cult, Deadline reported. Jonathan Bennett and Lydia Hearst are also set to star.

Tate, who was married to filmmaker Roman Polanski and who was over eight months pregnant with their first son, was stabbed to death in August 1969 along with eight others inside her home by members of Charles Manson's cult.

Director Quentin Tarantino is also developing a film that will touch on the Manson Family murders that will star Leonardo DiCaprio. The untitled project is set for release on Aug. 9, 2019, the 50th anniversary of the murders.


'Jumanji' sequel under development, writers in talks to return
Sony Pictures is developing a sequel to box-office hit Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and is looking to bring back the cast which included Dwayne Johnson, director Jake Kasdan and screenwriters Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner.

Welcome to the Jungle followed four high-school students sent to detention who get trapped inside of a video game where they must fight as avatars portrayed by Johnson, Hart, Black and Gillan in order to survive a dangerous jungle.

The film, which acts as a sequel to 1995's Jumanji starring Robin Williams, has earned $857 million and counting worldwide since releasing in December.

Rosenberg and Pinkner have also penned Sony's upcoming Spider-Man spinoff film Venom which stars Tom Hardy in the title role.

Which model has enlisted her mom for a swimsuit campaign?

Ashley Graham enlisted her mom for her new body-positive swimsuit campaign.

The 30-year-old model and her mom, Linda Graham, star in ads for Ashley's latest Ashley Graham x Swimsuits for All collection.

"Thanks to my mama for showing me how to be the strong woman I am today," Ashley captioned a minute-long promo on Twitter.

The video shows Ashley and Linda sport several looks, including matching coverups. The ad also features a voiceover from Linda, who voices how "proud" she is of her daughter and her accomplishments.

"I raised you to be confident, courageous and fearless, and I am so proud of who you are today," she says.

Linda also shared a behind-the-scenes photo of herself and Ashley on set. She captioned the picture with emojis, including the pink bikini.

Ashley said in an interview with Vogue that shooting with Linda was a "surreal" experience after years of her mom's support.

"[My mother] was with me from the start and helped me get through all the trials and tribulations it took to get to this point, so being able to have her actually in front of the camera with me and modeling my designs felt like such a surreal moment," the model said.

"What I want is for women my mother's age to feel empowered and to know that they too can look just as hot in a one-piece, a two-piece, or string bikini," she added. "I believe that beauty is beyond age, race or size."
