Is 'The New Mutants' Film Being Retconned for the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
For a while now the future of the X-Men spinoff The New Mutants has been in question. When asked about it at one point, Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, who plays Wolfsbane in the movie, said she had no idea what was going on with the film. Some believed it was destined never to see the light of day. Filming completed back in 2017, but then extensive reshoots were needed to make the film work. It was then scheduled for release on April 13, 2018. But more delays pushed it back to a February 22, 2019 release. Then, once again, it was postponed to August 2, 2019, and that didn't happen either. But now that Disney is at the helm, we have a better idea about what's happening with this intriguing Marvel property, and a good guess of what it could end up being overall. Now that the merger is all said and done, the X-Men can begin the process of entering the MCU, an event fans have been wanting to see since the shared universe started back in 2008 with Iron Man. Disney has no plans to give up on the horror, adult-oriented X-Men film, and has seen fit to give it an April 2020 release date. The reshoots have been scheduled, and this movie is officially going to happen.

Score Review - 'Avengers: Endgame'
Alan Silvestri's sweeping, unflinchingly epic score to the mega-hit Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, brings to mind the mythic legends of old. As the era of superhero films reaches its next highest point, it becomes clear these stories may be looked at in the same lineage as Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts, Orpheus, and Eurydice, and the other tales of old. With hindsight, a world in which Tony Stark, T'Challa, this iteration of Thor, and the rest of Marvel's gallery is viewed as a new branch of mythology isn't far off. The score for the film seems to recognize and play into this with its use of seemingly timeless chord progressions, proud new melodies, and almost spiritual implications.
