Kuala Lumpur has found itself in the global spotlight once again, thanks to the upcoming release of Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios&rsquo; latest instalment in the cinematic universe. The film, which features Academy Award-nominated actress Florence Pugh reprising her role as Yelena Belova, is scheduled to premiere in Malaysian cinemas on Thursday, 1st May. But it&rsquo;s not just the release date that has people talking&mdash;it&rsquo;s the astonishing stunt that took place at one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most iconic landmarks.
A Superhero Leap from the Sky: Florence Pugh&rsquo;s Daring Stunt at Merdeka 118

Filmed in August 2024, Thunderbolts marks the Hollywood debut of Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s towering Merdeka 118&mdash;the second-tallest building in the world at 678.9 metres. In a breathtaking sequence, Florence Pugh performs a daring jump from the skyscraper in full character as Yelena, showcasing not only the character&rsquo;s grit but also the actress&rsquo;s fearlessness.
Director Jake Schreier initially expressed hesitation about letting Pugh attempt the stunt, but she was adamant. The scene was executed in one seamless take, without cuts, to preserve authenticity. &ldquo;It was a mad, mad experience,&rdquo; Pugh later remarked in a promotional interview, revealing the stunt had barely been rehearsed. The thrilling base jump required meticulous planning, with Marvel collaborating closely with Malaysian engineering teams to ensure everything was carried out safely and responsibly.

To celebrate this cinematic milestone and honour Malaysia&rsquo;s place on the global stage, Merdeka 118 has been transformed into a glowing tribute to the film. A special Thunderbolts-themed light show is currently being projected onto the building nightly, from 29th April until 1st May, between 8pm and midnight.
Marvel Studios shared a teaser of the dazzling display via its official Facebook page, declaring, &ldquo;LIGHT &lsquo;EM UP: Marvel Studios&rsquo; #ThunderboltsMY is taking over the Merdeka 118 once again!&rdquo; Locals and tourists alike have been urged to look up and catch a glimpse of this unique moment, with thunderous branding illuminating the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Thunderbolts* assembles a team of morally complex antiheroes&mdash;far removed from the pristine values of the Avengers. The film will see the return of Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and U.S. Agent/John Walker (Wyatt Russell).
The story follows this unlikely team, recruited by a covert agency to undertake morally murky missions that require unconventional methods. As they navigate betrayal, power struggles, and the ghosts of their pasts, the group must unite to survive a mission described as a deadly trap.
The film promises to explore darker themes of redemption and identity, delving into the psychological struggles faced by heroes operating in the grey areas of justice. With high-stakes storytelling and a gritty tone, Thunderbolts is expected to be one of the MCU&rsquo;s boldest entries to date.

After much anticipation and years of growing support in the region, K-pop sensation RIIZE has officially confirmed their first-ever concert in Malaysia, as well as a highly anticipated stop in Singapore, as part of their expansive 2025&ndash;2026 &lsquo;RIIZING LOUD&rsquo; Asia Tour.
This marks a major milestone for both the group and their Southeast Asian fanbase, especially those in Kuala Lumpur, who were left disappointed when Malaysia was left off the group&rsquo;s previous Asia tour. Now, the wait is finally over &mdash; and RIIZE is more than ready to light up the stage.

After more than a decade of dazzling performances with EXO and a string of solo hits under his belt, Baekhyun is finally embarking on his first-ever solo world tour &mdash; and it&rsquo;s one for the books. Titled Reverie, the highly anticipated tour will span multiple continents and includes stops in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, marking a significant milestone in Baekhyun&rsquo;s solo journey.

&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/500aeb59f8b7424b52950248eaf5f64941fb76f1ebcc47dce690e1a1308929b0" />
Baekhyun is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and actor renowned for his dynamic vocals and charismatic stage presence. He debuted in 2012 as a member of the K-pop group EXO, as well as its sub-units EXO-K and EXO-CBX, and later became the leader of the supergroup SuperM.
<iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/6AeMj5CMeTXRGhmUuv0LH3?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe>
Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the EP City Lights, which sold over 550,000 copies, making it the best-selling solo album in South Korea for that year. He continued his success with Delight (2020), which became the first album by a South Korean soloist to surpass one million sales in 19 years, and Bambi (2021), which also achieved million-seller status. His 2024 album Hello, World was the world's best-selling album by a K-pop soloist that year, with 1.4 million units sold.
Throughout his career, Baekhyun has received numerous accolades, including three consecutive Mnet Asian Music Awards for Best Male Artist from 2019 to 2021. He has also been recognized with awards from the Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.

The scale of the tour is a testament to Baekhyun&rsquo;s growing global influence and the unwavering support of fans across borders. It&rsquo;s especially meaningful considering it&rsquo;s his first tour since returning from military service and establishing his own label, INB100.
A Beloved Voice of His Generation
Since debuting with EXO in 2012, Baekhyun has carved out a legacy defined by vocal excellence, charismatic performances, and genre-defying solo work. Whether it&rsquo;s R&amp;B slow jams, groovy pop, or soul-stirring ballads, Baekhyun consistently delivers high-quality music that resonates deeply with his audience.
His solo accolades &mdash; including multiple Best Male Artist awards &mdash; and his status as one of Spotify&rsquo;s most streamed K-pop soloists only reinforce his artistic credibility.
Now, with the Reverie tour, Baekhyun is ready to take his artistry to even greater heights &mdash; and fans across the world are eagerly waiting to witness it live.

Baekhyun’s ‘Reverie’ World Tour Is Coming to KL and Singapore!

After ten years of making their mark on the Malaysian music scene &mdash; and in the playlists of countless fans across the region &mdash; pop-rock band Insomniacks are ready to take the stage for their first-ever solo concert. Titled Echoes of a Dream: Insomniacks Live in Concert, the event marks a significant milestone for the beloved group.
From YouTube Covers to Chart-Topping Hits
&nbsp;
Insomniacks is a Malaysian pop-rock band that has rapidly emerged as one of the country's most beloved music acts, known for their emotionally charged lyrics, catchy melodies, and youthful energy. Formed in 2015, the band first gained attention by uploading cover songs on YouTube, showcasing their raw talent and chemistry. It wasn&rsquo;t long before they transitioned into crafting their own original sound, debuting with the heartfelt single &ldquo;Selalu&rdquo; in 2017 &mdash; a song that resonated deeply with listeners and was featured on the Astro Ria drama My Coffee Prince.

However, it was their breakout hit &ldquo;Pulang&rdquo; in 2018 that propelled them into mainstream success. The single dominated local airwaves and rose to the top of the Recording Industry Malaysia (RIM) charts, becoming an anthem of longing and nostalgia for a new generation of listeners. Known for their seamless fusion of pop, rock, and punk elements, Insomniacks' distinct sound continues to connect with fans across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei.
Their growing influence has earned them numerous accolades, including recognition as one of the Top 5 most-streamed Malaysian artists on Spotify in 2024. With multiple radio hits under their belt, including fan-favorites like &ldquo;Igauan Malam&rdquo;, &ldquo;Reminisensi&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Kepulanganmu&rdquo;, the band&rsquo;s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. As they continue to tour and produce new music, Insomniacks stands as a shining example of Malaysia&rsquo;s thriving contemporary music scene.
Today, the band comprises three members: frontman and lead guitarist Iqie (Syed Mir Iqbal), bassist and vocalist Wan Arif Iskandar, and rhythm guitarist and vocalist Danial Lee Hashim. Previously a quartet, drummer Gavin Wong departed the group in 2022.

Insomniacks Bring ‘Echoes Of A Dream’ To KL With Their First-Ever Solo Concert This July!

More than a decade since audiences were first dazzled by sleight of hand and cinematic spectacle in Now You See Me, the franchise is poised for a thrilling return. The third instalment, Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t, promises the most audacious heist yet &mdash; blending the original gang of illusionists with a new wave of rising stars in a high-stakes battle against a dangerous criminal organisation.
The Original Horsemen Saddle Up Again
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2f76970b131a7df4894f1d346146e4ff95918b953c9f1a9ea6bbf084709595a2" />
The film marks the long-awaited reunion of the core cast that captivated fans in the first instalment. Jesse Eisenberg returns as the cerebral and enigmatic J. Daniel Atlas, once again orchestrating plans that blur the line between magic and manipulation. Rejoining him are Woody Harrelson as the hypnotist Merritt McKinney, Dave Franco as sleight-of-hand specialist Jack Wilder, and Isla Fisher as escape artist Henley Reeves &mdash; whose return is particularly notable, as she was absent from the second film.
Mark Ruffalo is also back as Dylan Rhodes, the former FBI agent who famously flipped sides and joined the Horsemen in the 2016 sequel. Meanwhile, Morgan Freeman reprises his role as Thaddeus Bradley, the once-imprisoned debunker of magic and moral wildcard whose allegiances are always unpredictable.
This reunion of familiar faces is certain to delight longtime fans, especially with Fisher&rsquo;s return to the fold. However, this time, the original Horsemen are not the only ones under the spotlight.
Passing the Torch: A New Generation of Magic
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a83ebc675e615454f31d47fd32c3810b90553167b6ea536b82d5c7c9f80a72ba" />
With the Horsemen now seemingly retired from active duty, Atlas seeks to reignite their legacy by assembling a new team of young, daring illusionists. Enter Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, and Justice Smith &mdash; rising stars who play ambitious newcomers drawn into the world of magic-fuelled heists. The trio initially build their own fame by using holographic projections of the original Horsemen, but soon find themselves working with the real deal under Atlas&rsquo; guidance.
The trailer teases a mission unlike anything the franchise has attempted before &mdash; the young magicians, with Atlas at the helm, set their sights on an ambitious diamond heist that propels them into direct conflict with a shadowy and powerful criminal network.
Watch the trailer below:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-E3lMRx7HRQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
A Formidable New Foe: Enter Rosamund Pike
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/19272ec348899f9efd8d046ab14d5d1705bffbadefcef48941aed1a04a70e532" />
Leading this criminal operation is Rosamund Pike, who makes her franchise debut as the matriarch of the Vanderberg family &mdash; a cold, calculating adversary whose wealth, influence, and cunning present a formidable challenge. Following her performance in Saltburn, Pike brings a sharp edge and air of menace that feels tailor-made for the Now You See Me universe.
Her role signals a thematic evolution for the franchise &mdash; pitting illusionists not just against law enforcement or rogue magicians, but against a deeply entrenched criminal power structure. With the addition of Pike and the blending of old and new talent, Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t is setting the stage for the series&rsquo; most complex battle yet.
Lights, Camera, Illusion: A Bold Times Square Reveal
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b77e24d5209759b6cc02b000801eeda6beb9f9f45f74b500851bc59220a2c779" />
To launch the film&rsquo;s marketing campaign, Lionsgate pulled off a real-world publicity stunt straight from the Horsemen&rsquo;s playbook. In the heart of New York City&rsquo;s Times Square, a digital billboard teased fans with the phrase &ldquo;Now You See Me,&rdquo; accompanied by a countdown and a phone number. As the timer hit zero, the display changed to reveal &ldquo;Now You Don&rsquo;t&rdquo; &mdash; and fans who had texted in received instant digital cash giveaways totalling $250,000, as well as exclusive access to the official trailer.
Newcomers Greenblatt, Smith, and Sessa appeared in person to help carry out what Lionsgate dubbed a visual &ldquo;heist,&rdquo; adding to the fanfare and bringing the energy of the franchise&rsquo;s big-screen illusions to real life. It was a fittingly dramatic entrance for a film built on misdirection and flair.
Behind the Curtain: Direction, Production, and the Future
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/e95db965d6dda2bd2324db98e8c733bdc8c1042e1b9a8ba36d521b7e60e6ea01" />
Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t is helmed by Ruben Fleischer, best known for directing Zombieland and Uncharted. Fleischer, who previously worked with Eisenberg on the Zombieland films, brings a blend of humour, action, and timing that should pair well with the franchise&rsquo;s blend of spectacle and suspense.
The script is penned by a team including Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Lesslie, and the duo of Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese &mdash; known for their work on the Deadpool series. Original producer Bobby Cohen returns alongside Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout, with Meredith Wieck overseeing the project for Lionsgate.
During CinemaCon earlier this year, Lionsgate revealed that a fourth instalment is already in early development. &ldquo;We were so happy with the director&rsquo;s cut, we&rsquo;re already developing the next chapter,&rdquo; said Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson. &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t wait for audiences to discover what he&rsquo;s done with the third film and are thrilled he&rsquo;ll be making even more magic with us.&rdquo;
What to Expect: More Tricks, More Twists
Fans of the first two films can expect the return of the franchise&rsquo;s signature tone &mdash; a fast-paced mix of showmanship, deception, and dazzling set pieces. The third film promises to raise the stakes both visually and narratively, combining old-school stage magic with new-age technology and globe-trotting ambition.
The interplay between the returning cast and the fresh recruits is set to create a compelling dynamic. With eight magicians &mdash; four veterans and four newcomers &mdash; all involved in what appears to be a multilayered operation against Pike&rsquo;s organisation, the film looks poised to deliver spectacle, suspense, and perhaps a few well-earned surprises.
Release Date and What&rsquo;s Next
Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on 14 November 2025. As audiences gear up for a return to this world of magical mischief and high-concept heists, one thing&rsquo;s for certain: the Horsemen haven&rsquo;t lost their touch &mdash; and they&rsquo;re about to pull off their biggest trick yet.
