x-men

The global pandemic has evened the playing field.

Fox eventually leeeeeaaaaarrrnnnnned that was a bad ideas.

It’s a 26-inch tall Sentinel.

The film made $20 million less in theaters than the previous worst for the long-running series.

Although X-Men: Apocalypse and the latest Fantastic Four reboot were fairly notable disappointments for 20th Century Fox, the studio is doing pretty, pretty, prett-ay good in the Marvel department. Thanks to the critical and commercial success of Deadpool and Logan, Fox’s X-universe has been revitalized, and even if the next X-Men movie underperforms, they still have New Mutants, X-Force and Deadpool 2 on the way — and it looks as though that may be the tip of the iceberg.

I’m an old enough nerd to remember when the first X-Men movie came out in theaters. At that time, comic books were not the number one driver of all things in popular culture. Bryan Singer’s X-Men certainly featured all the comic’s beloved heroes and villains, but there did seem like there was a concerted effort to tamp down some of their comic-book-ness. Everyone dressed in black. There was no spandex. The story was grounded in weighty real-world themes like prejudice and vengeance. It was the X-Men you knew, but watered down just a bit. It was a rum and coke, not a shot of gin. X-Men: Apocalypse, in comparison, looks like a bottle of Beefeater.

With the latest X-Men movie opening in theaters today, isn't it about time you got to really know the mutants' universe?

So, the rumor has been for quite some time that 'Game of Thrones' actor Peter Dinklage would be playing Bolivar Trask in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.' It turns out that rumor is correct. And that rumor about Omar Sy as Bishop? Also true.

Summer is almost here and the movies are heating up in theaters everywhere with array of super heroes and super villains.
