The Wasp: Quantumania: Production Status 

Once in Hollywood, the film was dreaded reshoots as it was often a sign the respective project wasn’t faring well with its studio. However, Marvel Studios scheduled the reshoots before the time to make any required changes to films after screening them for test audiences. 

According to Marvel boss Kevin Feige “‘Reshoots’ was a bad word. ‘Oh this movie’s in reshoots, there must be a problem,'”   

He added, “Reshoots are key to our films, starting with Iron Man. We always say we’re smart filmmakers at Marvel, but we’re not geniuses and the best way to give notes on a movie is to watch the movie. So we make the movie and go, ‘Oh yeah, no that’s not right. That doesn’t work,” and have a system now that can be quite precise and efficient. [Reshoots last] sometimes one day, sometimes fifteen days, sometimes more to continue to go in and make the move the best it can be.”

India’s jersey sponsors Byjus is considering existing as team India’s jersey sponsor and asked the board to encash them with a Rs 140 crore bank guarantee. Star India on the other hand, who has been broadcasting the matches seemed a discount of Rs. 130 crore that runs till March. The virtual Apex Council meeting lasted over an hour which these important issues were discussed.

As per BCCI, “Only Byju’s and Star India’s issues were discussed in the meeting but that also took well over an hour. It was a serious matter involving millions of dollars so naturally, it took time”

India’s jersey sponsor Byju’s wants the Indian cricket board, BCCI to give them a bank guarantee of Rs. 140 crores to do what they have already promised. The giant ed-tech company has fired a lot of their employees previously and even wishes to lay off about 2500 of their workforce to become more profitable.

Earlier, the board asked the ed-tech company to continue till March 2023 but their agreement is till November 2023. The brand replaced Oppo in 2019 at USD 35 million. They were the sponsors of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar this year as well.

The Byjus after becoming the jersey sponsor experienced a boom and renewed its partnership in July 2023. Despite having deals from FIFA World Cup and Lionel Messi, the company is thinking of cutting costs. They are paying already more than Oppo by 10%.

On the other hand, the Star is the current holder of the media rights for the Indian cricket team’s home season. The renewal for it will come around March and Star will have to compete with major players.

Byjus requested BCCI termination after India’s T20 World Cup exit. The BCCI extended the timeline by 6 months postponing it till March 2023. However, the brand wants to get out of this deal desperately.

The BCCI earlier lost three big sponsors in the last six months. The BCCI’s domestic rights owner PayTM transferred the deal to Mastercard. Kiltmakers MPL passed its rights to KKCL and MPL transferred the rights to Killer jeans. The brand now sponsors the T20 jersey during their Sri Lanka series.

N’Golo Kante set for new round of discussions with Chelsea for contract renewal

0

N’Golo Kante and Chelsea are expected to hold a new round of talks surrounding his contract extension soon. The player is keen on staying since he loves the club, the city and the fans. 

However, the terms need to be favourable for him to continue. And the current feeling is a 50/50 chance for him to be a Chelsea player next season. The situation on his renewal was previously quite grim, since the two parties were far apart on the salary. Now, that figure is open for discussion which means that the midfielder could end up continuing with the Blues for the foreseeable future. 

N’Golo Kante and Chelsea to discuss new contract soon 

The Frenchman has only made two appearances for Chelsea this season. He has been dealing with an injury he sustained in the London derby against Spurs. And several setbacks in his recovery have hindered his role in the squad, as well as the certainty that he would be staying. 

Barcelona are one of the clubs interested in pouncing on the midfielder if he doesn’t stay at Chelsea. However, they will not be able to match the financial offer that the Blues are making. 

N’Golo Kante’s recent injury record might force him to take a pay cut to continue at Stamford Bridge. But with talks expected to take place very soon, we could have a concrete update on the issue once the discussions have taken place. 

Chelsea have had to endure a very difficult season so far, and are currently tenth in the table. The absence of Kante haa been a huge blow for the team this year. He is expected to come back to full fitness next month, and even then, he must be eased back into action having missed the majority of the year, as well as the World Cup.

Barcelona at the top of La Liga after defeating Atletico Madrid

0

Barcelona have moved to the top of the La Liga table, and are three points ahead of their rivals Real Madrid. The defending champions slipped up against Villarreal this weekend, and were defeated 2-1. 

Presented with the perfect opportunity to get ahead in the title race, Xavi’s men picked up a very important win at the Wanda Metropolitano. They scored at the stadium for the first time in over a thousand days, courtesy of Ousmane Dembele’s match-winning goal. 

Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table after Atletico Madrid clash 

Atletico Madrid were on a four-match winning run heading into the game. Barcelona, on the other hand, have extended their winning run to seven games across all competitions. 

The game finished with both teams having ten men, as Ferran Torres and Stefan Savic were both shown straight red cards for a wrestling bout off the ball. 

Atletico Madrid had double the number of shots that Barcelona had, despite having lesser possession. And they were unable to beat Marc Andre ter Stegen to at least get back on level terms.

With the clean sheet, the Blaugrana continue to have the best defensive record in the division – conceding only six goals from 16 games played in the league so far. 

It now remains to be seen whether Xavi can help his side maintain their position at the top of the table. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid must not be counted out just yet, with Los Blancos having a history of fighting back when they have been counted out. 

Benfica under investigation for match-fixing between 2016-2020

0

Benfica are under investigation for match fixing for the period between 2016 and 2020. The current investigation arises from prosecutors having access to emails which showcase that the club benefited from fraudulent activities. 

Luis Filipe Vieira, the former president, resigned after being arrested for charges relating to tax evasion, aggravated fraud, forgery and money laundering. He was also accused of embezzling funds, alongside a fellow defendant, totalling around £2m. 

Benfica under investigation for match fixing 

‘Taking into account the news made public today, Sport Lisboa e Benfica – Futebol SAD confirms that it appeared in court on January 3, as well as, among others, the members of the Board of Directors from 2016 to 2020 and who are currently in office,’ the club’s brief statement reads. 

‘Benfica SAD will not comment further as the trial is under legal secrecy. Benfica expresses its total willingness to collaborate with the competent authorities, as has always happened up to now.’ 

After the dismissal of Luis Filipe Vieira, Rui Costa was named the new president of the club. The priority for the club was to enter a new era of transparency and accountability. And a year and a half after Costa’s time as president, he is one of those under investigation for match fixing. 

Alex Moreno close to joining Aston Villa in £12 million transfer

0

Aston Villa are close to wrapping up a deal for Alex Moreno of Real Betis soon. The left-back has been one of the standout players for the Spanish side this season. He has not only been great defensively, but has also provided three assists this campaign. 

His arrival will help the team tighten up at the back, and improve their displays further. Unai Emery’s appointment has provided a much-needed boost to the Midlands club after the decline under Steven Gerrard. And Moreno could soon be a part of the new team under the former Villarreal boss. 

The deal is worth £10.5 million fixed, with £1.8 million available in the form of add-ons. Personal terms have been finalised, and only the details related to the clubs need to be sorted out for it to be completed. 

Alex Moreno close to joining Aston Villa 

Emery has earned wins over Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur since returning to the Premier League. They have only come up short against Liverpool since the resumption of football after the World Cup break. 

Their performances have improved significantly as well, and it will be interesting to see how Alex Moreno can contribute to the line-up. He will be expected to compete with Lucas Digne for game time at left-back. 

And it will either push the Frenchman to improve on his game, or see Moreno take up the starting position under Emery.
