James McAvoy's Charles Xavier accepts the need for the X-Men, and recruits Nicholas Hoult's Beast and Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique to act as their mentors. But with the torch being passed to a new generation of mutants, it's time to ask: Who are these new X-Men?

Doctor Strange Prelude #2 Shows Us Mordo & the Ancient One as We've Never Seen Them Before
Perhaps the most controversial casting choice in Marvel's Doctor Strange was the decision to cast Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One; it led to accusations of #whitewashing. The prospect of casting a white female as the male Asian mystic was an unusual one, and an explanation from Doctor Strange writer C. Robert Cargill really stirred the pot. Now, in the second issue of Marvel's Doctor Strange Prelude - a two-issue miniseries based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - we've finally seen the Ancient One at work. Marvel has been justifying the casting choice by arguing that the Ancient One is being used in a very different way; how accurate is that?

A New Cast List for Spider-Man: Homecoming May Have Leaked— What Does It Reveal?
Spider-Man: Homecoming is shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated films of 2017. It's no surprise, then, that every day brings a new rumor; and over the weekend, a particularly interesting one hit the Internet. A Redditor published what they claimed was a casting sheet from the film. It was swiftly taken down (and all sites that reproduced the image have since taken it down too, suggesting that #Marvel Studios wasn't too happy with it being out there). That said, I got to see it before it was erased from the Internet, so here are the four things that stood out to me...

WARNING: This article contains enormous spoilers for Justice League. Proceed at your own risk. Zack Snyder's movies might be controversial, but one thing cannot be denied: The man is a genius when it comes to imagery. Although DC Films seems to be heading in a very different direction — with a far lighter film and a lot more humor — the good news is that it doesn't seem to have lost that symbolic edge.

What Role Will The Ancient One Play In 'Doctor Strange'?
It's no secret that the Ancient One — Doctor Strange's venerable mentor — has been completely redesigned for the MCU. In fact, some aspects of that redesign have been pretty controversial; Marvel were attacked for white washing the character when chose to cast Tilda Swinton to play the part. Co-writer C. Robert Cargill (perhaps unwisely) argued that the redesign was necessary so as to ensure the film got a Chinese release - a remark which garnered the film more controversy.
