Bryan Singer Reportedly Not Returning for Next ‘X-Men’ Sequel; Franchise Being “Reconfigured”!!

It appears as though the age of the X-Men franchise is starting to show. Earlier today, reports swirled that despite Deadpool 2 recently losing its director, 20th Century Fox is already developing Deadpool 3 as a sequel that would incorporate the X-Force, which is like an R-rated X-Men team. But the report also had news for the flagship franchise, and it ain’t great. Per THR, the main X-Men franchise is being “reconfigured” after this past May’s 80s-set X-Men: Apocalypse grossed … Continue reading Bryan Singer Reportedly Not Returning for Next ‘X-Men’ Sequel; Franchise Being “Reconfigured”!!

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Review!!

Synopsis – With the emergence of the world’s first mutant, Apocalypse, the X-Men must unite to defeat his extinction level plan. My Take – This ninth installment is another fine chapter in a franchise that director Bryan Singer brilliantly setup in 2000, and returned with the excellent Days of Future Past in 2014. Yes, it may be a CGI heavy action-adventure but it’s bold, effortlessly mixing action, … Continue reading X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Review!!

Next ‘X-Men’ Movie to Take Place in the 90s, Says Simon Kinberg!!

Bryan Singer’s initial and highly influential adaptations of Marvel’s X-Men were contemporary stories set in the early 2000s. Then, with the arrival of Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, the title mutants returned to their comic book roots in the 1960s with a new cast of characters that served to introduce the superheroes and supervillains from their very origins. The two out-of-sync franchises famously crossed timelines in Singer’s 70s-set X-Men: Days of Future Past which … Continue reading Next ‘X-Men’ Movie to Take Place in the 90s, Says Simon Kinberg!!

Fox’s ‘New Mutants’ May Have Already Cast Wolfsbane and Magik!!

Earlier today we got word that 20th Century Fox’s X-Men spin-off New Mutants would be taking on sort of a YA, or Young Adult vibe in keeping with the younger-skewing Marvel Comics series. Now, a new rumor suggests that Fox already has a few age-appropriate cast members in mind to form the title team. Keep in mind that the movie is still in development, director … Continue reading Fox’s ‘New Mutants’ May Have Already Cast Wolfsbane and Magik!!

The Heroes Get A Turn To Shine In New X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Poster!!

I have no expectations when it comes to X-Men: Apocalypse. Even when this series is really good, I can’t get much enthusiasm for it. Perhaps it’s because of the series’ wonky continuity. Or maybe it’s because the casts keep changing. In any case, we’re getting another one, and promotion is in full swing. A couple days ago, we got a poster focused on the film’s … Continue reading The Heroes Get A Turn To Shine In New X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Poster!!
