00:08007 himself Daniel Craig weighs in.
00:11Here are today's top stories.
00:12First, Elizabeth Warren flipped a switch
00:14on Saturday Night Live in more ways than one.
00:16THR's Neha Joy has more.
00:18Saturday Night Live proved to be the talk of the weekend
00:20when none other than Elizabeth Warren
00:22showed up on the NBC sketch comedy show
00:24for a surprise appearance.
00:26The Massachusetts senator and former presidential candidate
00:29completely surprised SNL viewers during the show's cold open,
00:32appearing as a guest on a mock Fox News show,
00:34The Ingram Angle, with Kate McKinnon playing Laura Ingram.
00:38The Joey Fatone of Fox News.
00:41McKinnon as Ingram started off the skit
00:43by recapping the results of Super Tuesday,
00:45and even brought on several conservative names,
00:47such as Janine Pirro, played by Cecily Strong,
00:49as well as Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump,
00:51played by Mikey Day and Alex Moffat.
00:53But the final Fox News guest came as a surprise
00:55when Warren herself joined to talk about
00:57how she's been spending her newly found free time.
01:00Hanging out with my dog Bailey,
01:02prank calling big banks, drag racing Subarus,
01:06avoiding Twitter.
01:09She also reflects on her time on the campaign trail,
01:11saying she's enjoyed taking down billionaires.
01:14I got to give one a swirly on live TV.
01:18And the laughs didn't stop on stage.
01:20Warren and McKinnon took the fun over to social media
01:23in a now viral video where they hilariously take on
01:26Drake's popular TikTok challenge.
01:38Talk about winning the internet.
01:39That TikTok is almost too good.
01:41Up next, Black Widow is ready to drop into action.
01:43The final trailer for the Marvel Studios film
01:45debuted on Monday, and it features nearly three minutes
01:48of eye-popping stunts, explosions, and fight scenes.
01:52I mean, mistakes.
01:57The movie from director Kate Shortland stars
01:59Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff,
02:01aka Black Widow, and takes place in between the events
02:05of Captain America Civil War and Avengers Infinity War.
02:08The film also stars Florence Pugh, David Harbour,
02:11and Rachel Weisz.
02:12In comparison to the other clips we've seen so far,
02:14this final trailer gives Marvel fans a better idea
02:17about the film's plot and its villain.
02:20It's called Science Taskmaster.
02:23He controls the Red Room.
02:24They're manipulated, fully conscious, but no choices.
02:28The description with the trailer reads,
02:29at some point, we all have to choose
02:31between what the world wants you to be and who you are.
02:33Black Widow is due in theaters May 1st.
02:36And finally, Daniel Craig is opening up
02:38about all the highs and lows of playing James Bond,
02:40including talks about the latest 007 being cursed.
02:44Neha has more on that story, too.
02:46The final Bond film was plagued by a series of problems
02:48and setbacks, but talking to GQ in an in-depth profile
02:51about his decade's worth of work, the 007 star said
02:54he was furious every time he read a headline,
02:56saying that the film was cursed.
02:58The production on the latest and 25th chapter
03:00in the Bond franchise, No Time to Die,
03:02made headlines constantly as it was dogged
03:04by one problem after another.
03:06From one-time director Danny Boyle walking away
03:08from the project over creative differences,
03:10to Craig undergoing ankle surgery resulting from an injury
03:13sustained while filming last May,
03:14to a controlled explosion going wrong last June,
03:17which resulted in one crew member being hurt,
03:19along with damage to the exterior
03:21of a Pinewood Studios stage,
03:23it seemed like the film might never see the light of day.
03:26And now, the film will not be released until November
03:28because of the coronavirus outbreak.
03:30But do not tell Craig the film is cursed.
03:32He tells GQ,
03:33it pisses me off because I'm just like,
03:35don't curse our movie.
03:36And also, we're doing our best here.
