I’m Shawn Levy, the director, co-writer and co-producer of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” “So what made you finally wear an honest-to-God costume?” This scene happens at the midpoint of the film where Deadpool and Wolverine, this unlikely duo, are on this quest, and they come across an incongruous diner in the middle of this void landscape. And it’s really the first meaty dialogue scene between the two. So the mismatch of these visuals two superheroes sitting in a booth in a ‘50s diner. He is somewhat reverential and in fact envious of the mythic status of the Wolverine. And I think the emotionality of the film may very well prove to be its most subversive element.

☆ Opinion: Why you should pay attention to the role of race in sport during this summer’s Olympics

CNN —For many nations — not least the US — the upcoming Paris Olympics will take place against a background of deep political and social division. If you saw any of the European Athletics Championships events last month, you may well have been struck, as I was, by just how many Black athletes featured on podiums. At the Summer Olympics, the USA team will also feature numerous Black athletes, including gymnast Simone Biles, sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson and the (current) fastest man on earth, Noah Lyles. As you watch the Olympics this summer, take note of the sports in which Black people represent the USA and European countries. So no, Black athletes are not naturally better at some sports — they take the narrower opportunities open to them and work incredibly hard on their self-belief to make it to that podium.

In the lens of the still camera, the horror of the attack was translated into embodiments of authority, defiance and near martyrdom.

On July 14, 1789 (exactly 235 years ago this Sunday), some idealistic Parisians stormed a not especially crowded prison. They set in train a three-pronged revolution: for individual liberty, for civil equality, and, last and rarest, for communal obligation. In the National Assembly of 1789 and the National Assembly of 2024, some questions never get a final answer. Guillaume Lethière (1760—1832) was a Neoclassical painter of mixed race who has never, until now, been the subject of a solo museum show. Born in the French Caribbean, almost certainly into slavery, he reached the summits of artistic achievement in Paris and Rome.
