Mister Sinister Confirmed as Villain in ‘Wolverine 3’!!

Rumors have been bubbling up about Wolverine 3 but very little has been confirmed outright, even after the film is seemingly all done. It seems pretty clear that the film will follow the Old Man Logan storyline in some way, though I can’t imagine that it will be beat-for-beat what’s in that particular line of comics. It’s also looking pretty certain that this will be the last time that … Continue reading Mister Sinister Confirmed as Villain in ‘Wolverine 3’!!

Back in June, Legion showrunner Noah Hawley (who also helms FX’s Fargo series) commented that his series — which focuses on the son of Charles Xavier, David Haller, who has extraordinary abilities he has trouble controlling — would not necessarily connect to the larger X-Men universe. Now, X-Men director/writer/producer Bryan Singer (who is also an EP for Legion) is saying that it will.

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!!

With the success of Deadpool earlier this year, 20th Century Fox successfully launched a new X-Men spinoff that is directly related to the franchise as it exists now—ie. in a post-Days of Future Past world. While this month’s X-Men: Apocalypse takes place decades before the events of Deadpool, in 1983, the possibilities for further expansion of the X-Men universe remains, and indeed it sounds like the next spinoff could very well be the long-gestating The New … Continue reading ‘New Mutants’: Simon Kinberg Says Professor X Will Appear; Filming Could Begin Early 2017!!

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!!

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.

‘X-Force’ movie Could Be Rated-R!!

There’s a reason it took years for 20th Century Fox to greenlight Deadpool. It’s a risky movie—its R-rating is limiting (well, supposedly), its handsome leading man is disfigured and masked for over half the film, and it breaks with story conventions in a big way by having Deadpool directly address the audience. The perseverance and passion of all involved paid off in spades, though, as … Continue reading ‘X-Force’ movie Could Be Rated-R!!
