Michael B. Jordan gets his kicks playing the villain in 'Black Panther'

By
As great as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's films have been the past decade, one common complaint is that the villains are usually somewhat lacking.

That is not the case with Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger, the main villain in the white-hot "Black Panther" film. Killmonger has brains, brawn and – most importantly – a ton of motivation to hate the titular hero.

"His motivations, in his eyes, are his people and caring about the survival of his people – and he's willing to do whatever it takes to assure that," Jordan told PhillyVoice in an exclusive interview.

"As I developed this guy, I prayed hard and meditated on people like Malcolm X and Tupac Shakur."

In all his previous major film roles, Jordan has played the good guy and he said it was fun changing things up.

"It's a lot more fun playing the villain because you have less boundaries," he said. "It's definitely more fun playing the bad guy."

Jordan said it was also "unbelievable" to go mano a mano with Chadwick Boseman, who plays the titular hero.

After Park, former South Korean President Lee summoned over bribery allegations

By
South Korean prosecutors have called former President Lee Myung-bak to appear for questioning over allegations he took bribes when in office, a prosecutor said on Tuesday in the latest top-level political corruption scandal to rock the country. Prosecutors last month sought a 30-year jail term for former President Park Geun-hye, Lee's successor, who was ousted last year amid an influence-peddling scandal and is standing trial on charges of bribery, abuse of power and coercion. Lee was asked to present himself for questioning on March 14, the senior prosecutor said. "We must question (Lee) to reveal the truth", the prosecutor told reporters. "We expect him to show up since we gave sufficient time for him to prepare for the questioning". Lee has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation into the bribery allegations, summoning his family and confidants and raiding their homes and offices, politically motivated.

We're open to work with Britain over incident involving ex-agent

By
The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was ready to cooperate if Britain asks it for help investigating an incident involving a former Russian double agent who fell ill after exposure to an unknown substance. Sergei Skripal, once a colonel in Russia's GRU military intelligence service, was critically ill in hospital on Tuesday after he was exposed to an unidentified substance in southern England. "Nobody has approached us with such a request," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters, when asked if the British authorities had been in touch seeking help. "Moscow is always open for cooperation." When asked to respond to British media speculation that Russia had poisoned Skripal, Peskov said: "It didn't take them long." Calling the incident "a tragic situation," he said the Kremlin did not have information about what had happened. Source :- yahoonews
