Production was briefly halted with cast & crew told to remain at a safe distance after the bomb scare.Marvel Studios came close to facing a big disaster during their filming of Marvel's The Eternals in Canary Island. A new report reveals that the cast and crew of the MCU film were shocked and immediately evacuated once learning there was an undetonated bomb at the set. Production work was underway in Fuerteventura of Canary Island with star Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden on site for filming. But things soon went sideways after the bomb scare and everyone was ordered to evacuate.The Sun first reported the news and an insider from the set recalled the frightening moment saying, "It was obviously terrifying — the bomb could have been there for decades untouched but who knows what might have happened if it was disturbed. Some of the biggest stars in the world were on set and nobody was taking any chances. Fortunately, experts dealt with it." It's unknown when the bomb could have been planted and though it still remains a mystery it must be noted that the Island was earlier used as a Nazi base during World War Two. It is likely that the explosives are from the war and weren't recovered. Fortunately, production was quick to resume after experts removed the bomb. The small setback doesn't seem to have slowed down filming as well.Prior to the incident, on Sunday, Jolie was spotted filming as Thena donning a white attractive gown on the sunny desert. You can check it out below. Earlier in October, the film unit was spotted constructing massive sets in the Spanish Island for whats believed to be a portrayal of Babylon, the ancient city. But filming with other casts like Gemma Chan has taken place in London as well.It's been hinted that the film will take place in different timelines following the journey of the group of immortal beings created by the Celestials to guard humanity from the Deviants. Except for the full cast list, details regarding the film's plot still remain in wraps. Marvel's The Eternals will land in theatres on November 6, 2020.

Angelina Jolie managed to hold off a horde of zombies at the box office this weekend with Walt Disney Pictures’ Maleficent: Mistress of Evil taking the #1 spot with an estimated $36 million domestically. While this was enough to win the weekend, it was far short of expectations for the $185 million budgeted sequel, and only half of the $69.4 million the first Maleficent made for its 2014 opening. It looks like it will still do quite well overseas, taking in $117 million internationally for a $153 million global total. Given that this was Jolie’s first live-action film in four years, it proves she’s still a bankable enough name to open a picture.Warner Bros.’ dark DC Comics one-off Joker continues to hold strong in the #2 spot for its third weekend in theaters, taking in an estimated $29.2 million for a domestic total of $247.2 million and a worldwide cume of $737.5 million. That puts the $55 million budgeted Todd Phillips movie ahead of worldwides on Man of Steel and Justice League, now gunning to pass Suicide Squad and (potentially) Wonder Woman in the coming weeks!Coming in at #3 is Sony’s ten-years-later sequel Zombieland: Double Tap, which grossed on the high-end of its opening weekend estimates with a $26.7 million opening. The original Zombieland opened at #1 ten years ago with $24.7 million, but against far less competition. This is another win for R-rated comedies this year after Good Boys. The film took in only $5.3 million overseas for a worldwide total of $32 million.MGM’s animated The Addams Family continues to do robust business as we near Halloween, making the #4 slot in its second weekend with $16 million for a $56 million domestic total so far. The studio has already greenlit a sequel for release in 2021!Paramount’s underperforming Will Smith vehicle Gemini Man fell from #3 to #5 on its second weekend, with the Ang Lee-directed film taking in $8.5 million for a domestic total of $36.5 million. Smith is still strong overseas where it sits at $82.2 million for a worldwide cume of $118.7 million, though it may not be enough to take the expensive film into the black when it finishes its run.At the specialty box office Fox Searchlight’s JoJo Rabbit opened big with $350 thousand in just 5 locations, giving it the biggest per-theater average of the week, a great start for the Taika Waititi anti-hate satire. A24’s The Lighthouse starring Robert Pattinson also did well with $419 thousand in 8 locations.

Elle meanwhile matched the red carpet in her bold choice of suit, matching a tailored blazer with cullote trousers, shirt and tie. Even her heels matched the all-red colour palette. Maleficent is the evil fairy in the classic 1959 animation Sleeping Beauty, with Angelina playing her in a 2014 live-action film.Just five years on, Jolie is playing her again in Mistress Of Evil, still wearing black horns, fighting fairies and sorting out her conflicted maternal feelings towards sweet Princess Aurora (Fanning). This time she has competition from the neighbouring Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer) who causes a rift between our anti-heroine and Aurora, when her son Prince Phillip returns to the kingdom and proposes to the Princess.Unbeknown to Aurora, Ingrith is plotting to use their marriage to divide humans and fairies forever, and it is up to Maleficent to try and stop the impending war.Chiwetel Ejiofor joins the cast as the leader of an army of fairies just like Maleficent, while Harris will replace Brenton Thwaites as Prince Phillip.The original 2014 film grossed a whopping $758million worldwide, and brought another success addition to Disney's series of dark fairy tales.

'I think for me I felt a real responsibility to do the second film,' Elle continued.'For me it was the first film I had done of that scale, probably the only one I’d done of this scale, so young kids saw the film and young girls would come up to me and say you’re Aurora and they would look at me as the character.''I’ve never had that with a character before and hearing that we were doing a sequel I felt a responsibility to those girls for sure, and I was so excited to get to show Aurora as a young woman and grown up.; 'It was so fun to come back...Our relationships have grown and changed, I’m 21 now, I’m older I wasn’t the kid on set anymore.''I felt accepted on set in a way, especially with Michelle and Angelina, they looked at me, it was an amazing feeling because it felt like they included me, I was one of their peers and that was a really special feeling to feel that way.'Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil opens in UK cinemas on October 18.
