If Hollywood's got a Bill Belichick script on the way, Mark Wahlberg's making it clear he's got dibs ... telling TMZ Sports he's dying to play the coach in a movie!!

The "Ted" star made no bones about it during a brief chat with us out in New York City this week -- explaining it's a goal of his because Bill's the "greatest coach of all-time."

Of course, the desire shouldn't surprise many ... as Wahlberg is one of the biggest Patriots fans on the planet -- and Belichick helped New England lift six Lombardi Trophies in the last couple decades.

Armie Hammer's back out in the world after multiple years as persona non grata in Hollywood ... grabbing lunch with a woman and walking through a farmer's market after.

The two dressed casually ... Hammer in a black t-shirt and matching jeans while his companion added a splash of color in a bright red jacket and blue jeans.

Hollywood’s dishing out a wild weekend lineup -- led by Leonardo DiCaprio in "One Battle After Another" ... and with his films being such rare treats, you can bet this one’s not to be missed!

Also, big news for Scarlett Johansson -- she’s making her directorial debut with "Eleanor the Great," starring the incomparable June Squibb, and everyone’s dying to see how she handles calling the shots.

Jimmy Kimmel’s back and everyone’s cheering -- even a bunch of A-listers signed a letter of support for him after ABC tried to bench him ... and yep, Ethan Hawke’s in the mix too!

Ethan hit the stage during Jimmy’s return this week, calling him a hero and flashing the ACLU-backed letter signed by 400 celebs defending his right to speak.

The actor was all smiles on stage on Kimmel's second night back on the air Wednesday, telling Jimmy man-to-man that signing the letter was one of the greatest privileges of his life.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio Del Toro joined Travis and Jason Kelce on their podcast this week ... and the brothers were absolutely giddy to meet up with the A-listers.

The "One Battle After Another" stars dropped by "New Heights" to promote their upcoming action flick ... but before either got to talking, the Kelces couldn't contain their excitement.

Jason repeatedly stressed to himself and his little brother to "play it cool" ... but Travis proclaimed there was just no way he could do that on camera.

Icelandic actress Anita Briem was in her mid-20s when she was cast to play Hannah -- the fearless and independent "mountain guide" and daughter of the famous volcanologist -- in the 2008 family/adventure film "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

Anita shared the big screen with Josh Hutcherson as the only child who's being looked after by his Uncle, Sean and Brendan Fraser as Sean's quick-thinking Uncle and professor, Trevor.

Other actors in the movie include Jean Michel Paré and Kaniehtiio Horn.

Briem is also known for playing Queen Jane Seymour on "The Tudors."

50 Cent recently landed a HUGE fighting role as "Balrog" in the upcoming "Street Fighter" live-action film and his longtime G-G-G-G-Unit DJ Whoo Kid has seen firsthand how he can knock somebody out -- rappers, you know who you are!!!

DJ Whoo Kid chopped it with TMZ Hip Hop on Monday and he still has nightmares when he would mess up onstage and 50 would hit him with a Buffalo Charge or Turn Punch, so he's certain Paramount Pictures got the casting right with him!!!

Don't forget, 50 was also a 15-year-old amateur boxer at the Junior Olympics ... Whoo Kid tells us the artists who felt those fists haven't forgotten.

Marlon Wayans is currently going to war with critics for his new Jordan Peele-produced film, "Him" ... and his costar Don Benjamin is chiming in, proclaiming it to be JP's magnum opus!!!

TMZ caught up with Don and his wife, Liane V, in L.A. with their fam on their way to soak in the gory sports thriller for themselves -- which has been a wacky bag for the review writers nationwide.

Don certifies Peele a genius and even ranks "Him" as better than the filmmaker's debut, 2017's "Get Out," which has been a crown jewel on Rotten Tomatoes since it premiered.

Tom Holland got shaken up while on set filming "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" ... and was taken to the hospital after suffering a concussion.

Filming for the flick came to a halt Friday after Tom was treated for a mild concussion, per Deadline. Fortunately, he's expected to be back filming in a few days -- but for now is taking a break out of precaution.

No one else on set was injured ... and there's reportedly a meeting today to adjust the filming schedule.

Consequence was caught smack dab in the middle of that tense 2018 "Saturday Night Live" showdown between Kanye West and Michael Che that went viral earlier today, and tells TMZ Hip Hop exactly how HE REMEMBERS things went down!!!

Kanye's longtime collaborator admits Friday was the first time he's seen the footage from the unfiltered "In Whose Name?" documentary that's currently in theaters, but does admit the fiery clip of Ye barking at his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, with the wrath of a titan, touched him a bit.

Cons calls the clip "gut-wrenching" but urges fans not to forget we're all human, without necessarily excusing Ye's behavior.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are giving the sale of their joint home another go ... re-listing their Beverly Hills mansion for $52 million.

Remember -- they originally tried unloading the sprawling estate privately before they went public with their listing.

Kanye West's "In Whose Name?" third-person documentary is in theaters today, and it's giving viewers a glimpse into how volcanic his last few years have been ... including how things got bad between him and his ex-mother-in-law, Kris Jenner!!!

In one clip, obtained by TMZ, Ye is filmed crashing out on Kris in an explosive shouting match over the megastar rapper's public perception when he was hospitalized back in 2016.

Kris told Ye it didn't matter what the internet peanut gallery thought ... prompting a temper tantrum from him on the spot, repeatedly screaming, "It does matter!" in her face.
