  + stars: | 2024-12-09 | by ( Issy Ronald | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —A musical inspired by viral Olympic breakdancer Raygun was shut down hours before it was due to open on Saturday, after lawyers representing the athlete threatened legal action, the show’s creator said on social media. Steph Broadbridge, an Australian comedian who wrote and intended to star in “Raygun: The Musical,” said in a video posted on Instagram that the breakdancer’s “lawyers got in touch with the venue and threatened legal action.”Comedian Steph Broadbridge wrote and intended to star in the show. She added that Gunn’s lawyers trademarked the musical’s poster, which featured a silhouette of the breakdancer’s famous kangaroo hop and said she couldn’t perform that dance as Gunn “owns” it. How would I possibly be able to do that without any formal breakdancing training?” Broadbridge said. That listing now says the show is called “Breaking: The Musical.”CNN has contacted Gunn’s management team at the agency Born Bred for comment.

Melbourne, Australia Reuters —Breaker Rachael “Raygun” Gunn’s signature kangaroo bounce will not be seen on a competitive stage again after the Australian declared she could not bring herself to battle following the backlash over her Paris Olympic performance. The 37-year-old was mocked online and in the mainstream media for everything from her moves to her green official team kit. “I’m not going to compete any more, no,” she said on 2DayFM. “I was going to keep competing, for sure, but that seems really difficult for me to do now to approach a battle. But, you know, that’s like in my living room with my partner.

☆ Breaking community rallies around Australian Olympian whose kangaroo hop failed to impress judges

Videos of her breaking went viral, drawing online ridicule and speculation as to whether the whole thing was a hoax. But Gunn was uncowed, re-enacting the kangaroo hop as she celebrated with fellow Australian Olympians ahead of the closing ceremony on Sunday. She also wore a green-and-yellow Australian Olympic tracksuit rather than the streetwear favored by her rivals. Amid the criticism, Gunn’s performance has also drawn an outpouring of support from the international breaking community and others who lauded her originality, including the Australian prime minister. The World DanceSport Federation, the international governing body for breaking, said it had offered her mental health support.

☆ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ Review: A Space Raccoon Story

Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) Photo: MarvelIt’s been a superhero’s journey for writer-director James Gunn : He rose to great heights, was ruined, then re-emerged more powerful than ever. Five years ago Marvel Studios’ corporate parent, Disney, publicly fired Mr. Gunn as he started work on his third “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie over some inappropriate jokes he’d made years earlier on Twitter. A year later Mr. Gunn got himself uncanceled. He is now not only the sole writer and director of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Mass production of comic-book movies has stretched thin the talents of Mr. Gunn and most of his fellow toilers on the superhero assembly line.

A powerful god-figure, the High Evolutionary has genetically altered Rocket, other animals and even children to create a perfect race to inhabit his imagined utopia. But the shift also feels belabored and emotionally manipulative; scenes upon scenes of shot, blown up, tortured and incinerated C.G.I. It seems “Guardians” needs this much gratuitous trauma bait to establish its stakes and prove that the bad guy is, in fact, bad. Something like Thanos Lite or a knockoff Dr. Frankenstein, the High Evolutionary represents one of the central problems the franchise is facing in a post-“Endgame” M.C.U. “There is no god — that’s why I stepped in,” the High Evolutionary says at one point.
☆ Patty Jenkins breaks silence on ‘Wonder Woman 3’

CNN —Patty Jenkins has some things she would like to clear up. The director posted a lengthy note on social media to have her say after reports that DC FIlms (which is owned by CNN’s parent company) would not be moving ahead with a third installment of the “Wonder Woman” franchise. “It was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move anything forward at this time. Jenkins also wrote that she does not want “what has been a beautiful journey with WW to land on negative note.”“I have loved and been so honored to be the person who got to make these last two Wonder Woman films. I can attest that all of Peter and my interactions with you were only pleasant and professional.
☆ 'Black Adam' credit scene proves Hollywood has learned nothing

DC Films’ latest release into the endless superhero pantheon, “Black Adam,” has a lot riding on Dwayne Johnson’s muscled shoulders. Black Adam, one of the regularly scheduled villains in the comic book, was supposed to be his main antagonist. And while “Black Panther” did a great job of making its bad guy both a certifiable badass and a nuanced character, “Black Adam” fails miserably. “Black Adam” has an interesting inkling of an idea: an oppressed culture that needs to overthrow the invading white men. But the midcredit sequence in “Black Adam” unfortunately suggests studio leaders are committed to making the same mistakes all over again.
