Sophie Turner Says She’s Planning to Shoot an ‘X-Men’ Movie This Year!!!

When we reported on X-Men: Supernova last week, I was incredibly skeptical that a new movie was happening. The source said that filming would begin in June of this year in Montreal and that the plot would be based on the Dark Phoenix Saga. My skepticism came from the fact that it’s incredibly difficult to put together a blockbuster production in four months. Even if … Continue reading Sophie Turner Says She’s Planning to Shoot an ‘X-Men’ Movie This Year!!!

‘X-Men: Supernova’ Rumored To Start Production in June With Focus on Dark Phoenix!!!

X-Men: Apocalypse kind of left the X-Men franchise in shambles as far as the main X-Men universe goes. While stories that are pushing outside the X-Men universe are thriving—Deadpool and likely Legion—the main X-Men characters seem at a loss. Apocalypse was supposed to hand the reigns to a new generation of characters and wrap up the First Class crew, whose contracts had become too expensive … Continue reading ‘X-Men: Supernova’ Rumored To Start Production in June With Focus on Dark Phoenix!!!

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”!!

Fox Is Reportedly Already Developing ’Deadpool 3’ with Plans to Feature X-Force!!!

Deadpool surprised everybody this year when the scrappy. long-developed R-rated X-Men spinoff hit a home run at the box office, became a pop culture sensation, and against all expectation, earned the highest box office returns of any X-Men movie to date.

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!!

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!!
