Back in March, The Wrap reported that Wonder Woman screenwriter Jason Fuchs had been approached to write the script for the long-delayed Lobo film.

25+ Innuendos in Harry Potter You Didn't Notice
It seems impossible that teenagers in a boarding school never thought of getting a little intimate sometimes. We never heard about anyone having sex in the Room of Requirement, using “engorgio” to make their wand bigger, or taking advantage of a love potion.

First Reviews Of 'Logan' Promise A Bloody, Brutal Western — And A Breakout Star In X-23
When Fox launched the X-Men franchise back in 2000, Marvel's merry mutants were essentially the only gang in town. Nowadays, though, the X-Men have some serious competition; whether you're talking about the juggernaut of the MCU or the nascent DCEU, the reality is that superhero movies are now a Hollywood mainstay. That means trouble for Fox, a company that's traditionally focused their films in on a handful of superstars — and none more so than #HughJackman's Wolverine.
