When the initial casting information started to surface for X-Men: Dark Phoenix, there was one bummer of an absence. While it’s pleasantly surprising to see that James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, and Nicholas Hoult are re-upping their contracts to return for the X-Men: Apocalypse sequel, one of the best parts of this new iteration of the franchise—Evan Peters’ Quicksilver—was not mentioned. It was unclear … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’: Evan Peters Confirmed to Return as Quicksilver!!
When 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse was rolling out its marketing campaign, star Sophie Turner teased Marvel fans with an Easter egg that featured the musical mutant Dazzler.

(It was just a behind-the-scenes shot taken at a concert.) Clearly, nothing came … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ to Introduce Dazzler on the Big Screen!!

There were a number of questions facing the X-Men franchise after the release of last year’s X-Men: Apocalypse.

The casting of these promising talents for that … Continue reading Michael Fassbender Says He’ll “Likely” Be Back for More ‘X-Men’ Movies!!!
It’s official, folks. Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and Split star Anya Taylor-Joy are joining the X-Men universe for Josh Boone‘s New Mutants.

Kante Gwaltney) also tackling Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod‘s early 1980s comic book creation; Simon Kinberg and Laura Shuler Donner are producing. As far as rumors go, they abound. Most of … Continue reading James McAvoy Rumored To Reprise His Role as Professor X In ‘X-Men: The New Mutants’!!
Much like how Disney and Sony made a pact to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some fans have been hoping for something similar regarding 20th Century Fox’s X-Men and the Fantastic Four. The future of the cinematic mutants are a bit murky at the moment, and it’s even worse for Marvel’s first family. Unfortunately, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige put the breaks on this chatter during a recent interview. … Continue reading ‘Avengers’ and ‘X-Men’ Crossover Is an “Impossibility,” Says Marvel’s Kevin Feige!!
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.

Ladies and gentlemen, glimpse the 1980s X-Men fun that might have been. You’ve probably heard all about X-Men: Apocalypse‘s deleted mall scene by now.

If ever there was a movie that couldn’t take a hint, it’s this The Crow remake. The universe has been trying nudge the good folks at Relativity away from this film for the last few years with a regularly rotating door of attached actors in Luke Evans, Tom Hiddleston, James McAvoy, Bradley Cooper, and Jack Huston, and a similar succession of directors including Stephen Norrington, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, F. Javier Gutierez, and most recently, Corin Hardy (The … Continue reading That ‘The Crow’ Remake Might Still Happen After All!!
Charlize Theron‘s stock has been on the rise for the most part as of late. This is thanks largely to her role in Mad Max: Fury Road as Imperator Furiosa, but she’s been pretty consistent for quite some time. I’m not really a big fan of Monster, but her performance in the movie was unarguably a highlight of what was good about it, and she’s … Continue reading Charlize Theron’s MI6 Thriller ‘The Coldest City’ Gets 2017 Release Date!!

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!!
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!!
Chances are if you’re anything of a reader, you’ve worn through a copy of Richard Adams’ Watership Down in your day. The 1972 novel is one of the bestselling books of all time, and a true classic.

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!!
