Michael Fassbender Plans To Continue Playing The X-Men's Magneto — Will McAvoy And Lawrence Stick Around Too?
In 2006, X-Men: The Last Stand seemed to write Fox's X-Men franchise into a corner. The X-Men's story had been brought to an end, with countless popular characters killed off or depowered, and the franchise didn't really have any new direction it could go in. It took 2011's X-Men: First Class to change all that — Fox stepped back into the X-Men's past, gradually telling a story that rewrote the timeline and opened things up again. Thus we got a whole new trilogy, one with stars such as James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique.

Justice League Dark - The Next DC Animated Movie!
It's strange. If you ask your average guy on the street, he'll tell you superheroes are child-friendly. Especially when it comes to superhero animated series. He couldn't be more wrong; after all, this year is going to see the release of Batman: The Killing Joke, a brutal R-rated animated adventure with terribly consequences for Barbara Gordon. And now we know DC isn't going to stop making more of this darker action...

How Will Thor And Loki React To 'Captain America: Civil War'?
Let's face it, Captain America: Civil War would have been a very different film if Thor hadn't headed off to Asgard at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Whichever side had Thor on their side in the airport battle would undoubtedly have been victorious; I rather suspect he'd have enjoyed going at it with Giant-Man, for example! But the question has to be, how will Thor and Loki react to the changes when they get back to Earth?

How Has 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' Been Adapted for the Big Screen?
How do you adapt a book for the big screen? It's a question that every filmmaker wrestles with on occasion, and everyone has a different answer. Some filmmakers choose to stick close to the source material, with the story playing out pretty much how every reader imagined it to. Others do drastic rewrites, with plots and characters changing. The latest example of the latter is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, a beautiful film by Tim Burton that's based on the New York Times bestseller by Ransom Riggs. As someone who loves both the book and the film, it's time for me to look at the decisions Burton made, analyze them, and explain them. Beware: spoilers follow!

Jason Fuchs Teases On DC's 'Lobo' Film!
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. The film's been in development limbo since 2009, when Guy Ritchie was first announced as director (he's long since left), so it was exciting to see some movement. Since then, things have been pretty quiet - until today, when Fuchs released this on his Instagram:

Logan Is Hugh Jackman's Swan Song—but Could He Ever Return as Wolverine?
2017 is proving to be an emotional year for X-Men fans, with both Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart bowing out of the X-Men franchise in a heart-breaking finale. Wolverine's story has come to a beautifully poignant end, one rich in symbolism and emotional depth. It truly looks as though we've seen the last of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

'Iron Man 4' Rumors Are Circulating — But Can We Believe Them?
In 2008, Marvel took a gamble. They hired Robert Downey Jr. — a man whose career was genuinely believed to be over due to addiction issues — and they gave him a flagship role in the nascent MCU. Jon Favreau, Director of 2008's Iron Man, insisted that only Downey could truly play the part of Tony Stark. After a lot of intense debate, Marvel agreed.

4 Different Robin Hood Movies Are in the Works at Different Studios—Is There a Danger of Overkill?
We all know the old adage "It's like waiting for a bus — you wait for ages, and then three come along at once!". This bizarre truth about public transport is now also true for movies, it seems. Fans of Robin Hood have been waiting since 2010's Robin Hood for the return of their favorite man in tights; now, the rogue archer is about to make his return in a big way, four times over!

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.
