Check out the First Six Minutes of Fox's X-Men Spinoff the Gifted
We're a long way from the X-Men ever crossing over with the Avengers on the big screen, but Marvel Television and Fox are working together on a series of "X-citing" live-action TV shows.

'Justice League' Review
Hayden's Overall Grade: C+ The fifth installment in what is now unofficially called the DC Extended Universe was supposed to be the movie that comic book fans were waiting for. It would be the first time the most legendary team of superheroes stood together on the big screen. After the lackluster efforts, not counting the wonderful Wonder Woman movie, that the DCEU had put out until this point, the league was not only supposed to save the world but also the future of DC films as a whole. Unfortunately for us fans, we were treated to a half-hearted, poorly developed take on the Justice League.
