TOP GUN: MAVERICK

Tom Cruise and Jerry

Bruckheimer give us the fi rst

word on their return to the

danger zone.

12

CANDYMAN

We wanted to speak to Nia

DaCosta about her reboot of

the iconic ‘90s horror, so we

said her name fi ve times into a

mirror. Didn’t work, so we had

to go through offi cial channels

instead. Embarrassing, TBH.

16

AMY ADAMS

A lovely chat with the

Oscar-nominated star of The

Woman In The Window, Arrival,

and three episodes of The

Offi ce: An American Workplace.

22

CARTON OF MILK

Where does Mr Kinnear

get his moo juice?

23

INDIANA JONES 5

How will the archeologist

fare now Spielberg ’s no longer

directing? We don fedoras

and discuss.

44

BLACK WIDOW

World exclusive: after

years of cleaning up Tony Stark

and Steve Rogers’ messes,

Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha

Romanoff fi nally gets her fi rst

solo outing. Despite being, well,

dead. Empire was there, every

step of the way.

53

JAMES BOND SPECIAL

His name is Bond. James

Bond. He likes his martinis

shaken, not stirred. He’s a hit

with the ladies. Erm...what

else is there to know? Quite

a bit, actually.

68

UNSEEN 007

Candid, exclusive pix of

Bond during his illustrious

58-year career. Also, Judi

Dench...’cos she’s awesome!

76

POSTER CHILD

Twenty-fi ve fi lms? That’s

a lotta Bond-ing. And a lot of

movie posters. We’ve managed

to squeeze in every single one

into one spread, from Dr. No to

Moonraker to No Time To Die.

26

HEARTS AND BONES

It’s an Australian movie

with real heart. And more than

one skeleton in its closet.

30

O N WA R D

Pixar’s unicorns’n’elf-filled

motion picture is another

animated masterpiece.

37

SPOILER SECTION

Birds Of Prey!Uncut Gems!

Queen & Slim! Spoiled!

and star Julia Garner on the

incendiary motion picture

that takes on abuse in the

workplace.

THE NEW MUTANTS

The X-Men spin-off that

was fi rst meant to come out

in 2018. Then 2019. And then

this month. Oh dear. We’re not

saying The New Mutantshas

been long-delayed, but rumour

has it that the fi lm’s t

Maisie Williams and

Taylor-Joy, now also

their own mothers.
