Successful Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo, who will next reprise his popular role as the Hulk/Bruce Banner in the much-anticipated Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, has defended the Marvel Cinematic Universe which has been criticised for churning out endless content lately. For the uninitiated, his show She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is one of nearly a dozen MCU series that have been launched on Disney+ in less than two years.

Talking to a publication, Ruffalo said that he does not think Marvel Studio’s output needs to be controlled.

“It’s not something I worry about. I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along. But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness. Marvel generally lets them bring that to the material,” the actor said.

Defended the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ruffalo called out Star Wars for being repetitive.

“If you watch a Star Wars, you’re pretty much going to get the same version of Star Wars each time,” he said.

“It might have a little bit of humour. It might have a little bit of different animation. But you’re always, really, in that same kind of world. But with Marvel, you can have a whole different feeling, even within the Marvel Universe.”

Meanwhile, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is set to premiere on Disney+ from August 17, with new episodes set to arrive weekly.

Aside from Ruffalo, the series also stars Tatiana Maslany, Ginger Gonzaga, Jameela Jamil, Josh Segarra, Jon Bass, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Tim Roth, Benedict Wong, and Charlie Cox in important roles.

Tatiana Maslany will be seen in the role of lawyer Jennifer Walters in the forthcoming series, which follows her transformation into She-Hulk after receiving an emergency blood transfusion from cousin Bruce (Ruffalo).

Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan' renewed for season 2 despite critic backlash and ratings

Despite being panned by reviewers, Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan'has managed to secure a second season, and it is almost true that controversy still fuels viewership. The eight-episode show, which premiered on Tuesday, features the Duchess of Sussex sharing cooking, gardening, and hosting tips from a stunning California estate. Despite being labelled “gormless lifestyle filler” by *The Guardian* and an “exercise in narcissism” by *The Telegraph*, the series has found its way into Netflix’s top 10 in 47 countries, including the U.S., Canada, and South Africa.

The show’s renewal was announced just hours after its debut, with Meghan sharing the news on Instagram in her signature playful style. Wearing a hat that read “lettuce romaine calm,” she posted, “Lettuce romaine calm… or not (!) because I'm thrilled to share that Season 2 of *With Love, Meghan* is coming!” She added, “If you're loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!”

Women in their villain era: Ditching the ‘Good Girl’ act and owning unapologetic power

Let’s face it: the world has never been a safe space for women. It’s a place where we’re told to smile while being catcalled, to be polite while being undermined, and to shrink ourselves to fit into the tiny, suffocating box labelled “likeable.” In a world that often feels set against them with unsafe streets, glass ceilings, impossible beauty standards, and a relentless demand to be nice, women have had enough. They are done playing nice. The good girl act is out, and the villain era is in. And when they decided to break free? Oh honey, they did it with a bang.

This is the age of women flipping the script, ditching the nice girl manual, and embracing their inner bad guy. And why wouldn’t we? When the world is a dumpster fire of double standards, violence, and impossible expectations, sometimes the only way to survive is to become the villain they already think you are. And let’s be real: when women stop playing by the rules, it’s not a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough.

Sara Davies steps back from Dragons' Den to save Crafter’s Companion

Sara Davies, a well-known face on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, has decided to step back from the show to focus on her own business, Crafter’s Companion. The 40-year-old entrepreneur, who joined the series in 2019 as the youngest female Dragon at 35, shared the news on Instagram, explaining that her role as CEO of her craft supply company requires her full attention. While fans will still see her in the second half of the current season, she won’t be part of the next series.

Davies, who founded Crafter’s Companion in 2005 while still at university, built the business from her bedroom into a global brand. She recently returned as CEO after the company faced financial challenges earlier this year, stepping in to save jobs and stabilise the business. In her Instagram post, she described the decision to leave Dragons’ Den as a tough but necessary one, emphasising that being a Dragon involves far more than just filming. “It’s about committing to the businesses you invest in and seeing them grow,” she wrote. “That’s why I need to focus on my first ‘baby’—my own business.”
