“X-Men” is back in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to Marvel Animation’s hit animated series “X-Men ’97,” and while it’s a different beast, it is paving the way for some of the first significant mutants to join the MCU this summer in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” We already know that star/producer Ryan Reynolds offered filmmaker Shawn Levy the “Deadpool 3” gig during the filming of “The Adam Project” (they also worked together on “Free Guy”).

The Marvel Animation revival of the “X-Men: The Animated Series” with Marvel’s “X-Men ’97” is becoming one of the more popular animated projects ever to grace Disney+. It is so popular with fans at the moment that the creators have been asked all kinds of questions.

Is everyone and their mother in “Deadpool & Wolverine”? Filmmaker Shawn Levy has hinted at cameos several times (as has filmmaker Matthew Vaughn), and so has ‘Deadpool’ actor Karan Soni. The expectation, in general, seems to be: expect a ton, with many speculating that the upcoming third ‘Deadpool’ movie will be a goodbye to the 20th Century Studios era of Marvel movie-making.

During 20th Century Fox’s run and control of specific Marvel properties, many “X-Men” projects never got made. Some of those included Channing Tatum’s “Gambit,” a James Franco-led “Multiple Man” project, a solo “X-23” pic from “Logan” director James Mangold, an R-rated “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” written by “Game of Thrones” co-showrunner David Benioff, and even two different takes on “X-Force” from director Jeff Wadlow (“Kick-Ass 2”).

Following yesterday’s “The Fantastic Four” casting news and breaking the internet, Marvel’s got even more today. Nostalgia is running really high at Marvel Studios at the moment, and arguably, it’s THE thing of the moment.

It’s all but assured that the X-Men will enter the MCU soon. But how, and when exactly? That’s yet to be determined outside of Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine co-starring in “Deadpool 3” later this year.

x-cited for his role in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”During an interview with the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast on Jan. 4, the legendary actor, 83, opened up about his experience filming the Marvel movie, in which he appeared as Professor X.“It was alone,” Stewart explained. “I think the big scene, each one of the leading actors had the same experience.

conviction Monday on charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment — and his resulting ouster by Marvel Studios — should be a wake-up call to Disney.That message from Captain Obvious? Start over completely. The need for a reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been apparent for years now. Disney’s “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out” firing of Majors, who played the villainous Kang the Conqueror in the painfully stupid “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was really just the straw that broke the Marvel’s back.

Halle Berry has revealed that she and Angelina Jolie “had a rocky start” to their working relationship on new film Maude v Maude.Directed by Roseanne Liang, the upcoming film will see the stars battle it out “physically and intellectually” in what is being described as a Bond v Bourne-style action-thriller.In a new interview with Variety, Berry said she and Jolie struggled to get along at first, but added: “I think that is going to serve us well in our screen time together.”The X-Men star also described her fellow Oscar-winning actress as “formidable”, and said she was “thrilled to work with another woman and craft a story with our sensibility and from our point of view.”Berry said that the two of them found plenty in common and have since bonded after sharing their respective experiences. “We’ve been talking a lot about divorces and exes.

Michael Fassbender has taken a long break from movies, seemingly enjoying fatherhood, marriage, and racing at Le Mans. But the actor does have two films in theaters now (or one on streaming anyhow), Taika Waiti’s “Next Goal Wins” (read our review) and David Fincher’s “The Killer” (read our review).

No, Marvel Studios’ “The Marvels” didn’t have the best opening weekend at the box office. Why is that? Well, that’s something a bunch of people have been trying to analyze over the past several days.

X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass, was asked in an interview with Screen Rant whether he would consider returning to the superhero genre.In response, Vaughn explained that he was “freaked out” by the box office failure of The Flash starring Ezra Miller, which he described as a “really good film” that was potentially victim to superhero fatigue.“And so it made me question,” Vaughn said. “I think there’s been so many bad superhero movies as well that it’s like when the Western got, you make so many [that] you get bored of the genre, not because the genre is bad, but because the films are bad.”He added: “I genuinely don’t know what’s happening with the superhero in the sense that, I do think, maybe we all need a little bit of time off from it.

We’re already into Phase 5 and Marvel’s The Multiverse Saga, which began with “Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quanumania” and goes all the way to 2027 with “Avengers: Secret Wars.” This means that eventually, we’ll likely end up seeing “Avengers: Kang Dynasty” (2026) and ‘Secret Wars’ become massive ‘Endgame‘-level events that allow dozens and dozens of heroes to face off against the main antagonist Jonathan Majors’ Kang The Conqueror.

according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I went into one of the executive’s office and I saw an X3 script, and I immediately knew it was a lot fatter. I was like, ‘What the hell is this draft?'” the “Kingsmen” director told the audience.

If you weren’t already aware, Matthew Vaughn’s history with the “X-Men” franchise goes beyond making “X-Men: First Class,” attempting to cast Tom Hardy as a younger version of Wolverine, and developing “X-Men: Days of Future Past” before handing it over to now-disgraced director Bryan Singer. Once upon a time, 20th Century Fox was lucky enough to convince Vaughn to direct “X-Men: The Last Stand,” but he ultimately exited and was replaced with Brett Ratner (something of another Hollywood pariah due to his own sexual misconduct/sexual assault allegations).

With a new deal between the WGA and the AMPTP in place, writers may once again pick up their pens for upcoming projects. And that also means studios may start meeting with writers again for open assignments in the pipeline.

Miracle Workers.The former Harry Potter actor, who has starred in the TBS comedy anthology series as different characters since 2019, was seen with a ripped physique while going feral in Y-fronts during the closing episode.In the episode, called The End, Radcliffe’s Sid is seen ripping off his clothes and tearing his enemies limb from limb.The scene left an impression on fans, some of whom suggested that it was the perfect audition tape for playing X-Men Marvel character Wolverine, a dark-haired, muscular werewolf superhero who’s been portrayed by a Hugh Jackman for the last two decades. Jackman will make his final outing as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 in May.One fan wrote alongside a screengrab of Radcliffe in his underwear: “Daniel Radcliffe is such a specimen.”Daniel Radcliffe is such a specimen #MiracleWorkers @miracletbs pic.twitter.com/qcdD6dsoUV— NickThomas1979 (@NThom1979) August 29, 2023Daniel Radcliffe is such a specimen #MiracleWorkers @miracletbs pic.twitter.com/qcdD6dsoUV— NickThomas1979 (@NThom1979) August 29, 2023After seeing Daniel Radcliffe go feral and hump a robot's corpse in Miracle Workers, he is the only logical choice for an MCU Wolverine.

As the rumors have suggested so far, it’s starting to look like Marvel’s “Deadpool 3” will host a cornucopia of cameos from the 20th Century era of Marvel. The third, currently unofficially titled “Deadpool” movie will already feature a long-dreamt-for crossover between Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and “X-Men” actor Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

It’s crazy to think that it’s been more than 30 years since the release of “El Mariachi,” the film by Robert Rodriguez that put him on the scene. And it was a quick ascension for the filmmaker, as he’d go on to direct “Desperado,” “From Dusk till Dawn,” and “The Faculty” in quick succession shortly after.

BBC Radio 4’s “Front Row.” “My falsetto is not as strong as it used to be and that I directly put down to some of the growling and yelling.”“My voice teacher in drama school would’ve been horrified by some of the things I did [in “Wolverine”],” he added.Jackman’s character is known for roaring when he’s letting out his iron claws.“We learned a technique [in school] of how to shout and how to yell without ruining your voice,” he explained. “However, during Wolverine, I did some screaming and yelling and things that I think did damage to my voice.”“I’m working on it.

There have been a number of big franchise films over the years, that have had a ton of stops and stars but would eventually get made and become really successful. Most recently, it happened with “Uncharted,” which went through a number of directors and years of delays before becoming a hit in 2022.

With Marvel Studios always teasing what’s to come, whether it’s a new character or an entirely new franchise, with its big Phase announcements, there is consistently rabid fan-casting, as people desperately try to come up with who they think is one of the best options for these characters. Lately, one of the most popular fan-castings out there is Giancarlo Esposito as Professor Charles Xavier in the rebooted “X-Men” franchise.

Hugh Jackman owes his success as a Hollywood A-lister to his breakout role as Wolverine in Bryan Singer‘s first two “X-Men” films in 2000 and 2003. But while Jackman recognizes the debt he owes those films, he doesn’t think Singer’s on-set behavior would fly in moviemaking today.

Following in the footsteps of the iconic performance by Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men in the superhero film franchise, there was a lot of pressure on James McAvoy, who took over the role for the prequel films, starting with “X-Men: First Class.” However, McAvoy is a great actor and was able to excite fans and earn the respect of everyone with his performance over the course of four films.

Aussie actor Hugh Jackman was best known for musicals like “Oklahoma” when the Wolverine role was offered to him in the early 2000s. At the time, director Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox had lost their original choice, Dougray Scott, to Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible II.” After “X-Men” became a huge hit, Jackman was briefly considered for the role of James Bond in what would end up being 2006’s “Casino Royale.” He turned down the part paving the way for Daniel Craig to ultimately take the reins from Pierce Brosnan.

Marvel Studios is finally moving forward with “X-Men” projects. Recently, they announced that Hugh Jackman will reprise his Wolverine role in “Deadpool 3,” plus mutants like Namor appear in the upcoming “Black Panther” sequel, and mutant gene was teased for the lead character in “Ms.

Daniel Radcliffe has done the franchise thing before. Hell, you could argue that there are only a few actors who have been linked to a franchise film series in a more intrinsic way than Radcliffe during his run as the title character of the ‘Harry Potter’ films.

Keke Palmer has never been afraid to shoot her shot for a role, but this time the fans are doing it for her! A video of the Nope actress showing off different outfits for  sparked a conversation about casting her as a comic-book hero when Palmer briefly appears in a black leather outfit and says she's «manifesting a superhero role» because it would make a perfect costume. While many of the suggestions were the popular casting choices for Black actresses — regardless of personality — one particular fan's idea went viral. TikToker @jacobfordridgway noted that although suggestions like Storm and Bumblebee were understandable, Palmer would work best in a role that tapped into her real-life superpower -- her vivaciousness. «If you want her to deliver a powerhouse lead, she's got to have room to play in that role,» he explains, suggesting that Palmer should play X-Men's Rogue, giving her a «fun, boisterous role.»The idea quickly took off on TikTok and Twitter, finding its way to Palmer herself. When the TikTok video began to gain viral status on Twitter, she quote-retweeted it with the caption, «Come on agentttttttt,» showing her appreciation for fans thinking of her.Of course, a viral fan-casting being kicked off from a Tiktok video doesn't exactly make for a traditional copy letter but it wouldn't be the first time Palmer landed a role through unconventional means. In September 2020, Palmer hooked her guest-starring role in 's final season by flagging Issa Rae through social media.

Despite naming the next two “Avengers” installments at San Diego Comic-Con last month, fans are still waiting for Marvel Studios’ to unveil their plans for the upcoming “X-Men” reboot. There have been plenty of fan-casting choices online acolytes have made over the years —Taron Egerton as Wolverine is a constant on— and one of those names seems to have come on Marvel’s radar in a serious way.

As San Diego Comic-Con looms on the horizon, the prospect of Marvel beginning to announce the plans for their ambitious Phase 5 approaches. While many are expecting announcements on “Fantastic Four,” or “Deadpool,” many fans are still asking when we’ll hear some movement on the next iteration of “The X-Men,” and who might succeed Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

As you should know by now, given all the trailers and all the stories about it on the internet, Patrick Stewart is reprising his “X-Men” character Professor X in Marvel‘s “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness.” That’s all we’ll say, for this moment, but suffice to say potential spoilers going forward. While the character had died at the hands of a Wolverine clone in James Mangold‘s “Logan,” he’s back in ‘Strange 2’ as a variant multiverse character who is also a member of the Illuminati.

X-Men: Apocalypse “excruciating” but said he doesn’t “disown” the film.The actor played the titular villain in the 2016 superhero film, and had previously complained about his experience because of the amount of prosthetics he had to wear.“I didn’t know when I said yes that that was what was going to be happening,” Isaac told GQ in 2018. “That I was going to be encased in glue, latex, and a 40-pound suit – that I had to wear a cooling mechanism at all times.

The “X-Men” franchise, alongside “Blade,” were the first big box office hits for superhero films featuring characters pulled from the pages of Marvel Comics, sort of the precursor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s launch with “Iron Man” in 2008. You might remember that Kevin Feige got his start working for The Donner Company, the producers of the “X-Men” films, and was directly involved with those first couple of installments before leaving to run Marvel Studios.
