The Star Trek reboot may get another producer after hiring writer Seth Grahame-Smith and Andor director Toby Haynes for the project. Simon Kinberg, who produced the X-Men films, is reportedly in talks with Paramount Pictures to serve as a producer in the new iteration of the franchise. However, fans are not happy with Kinberg’s involvement in the project as his recent portfolio has been largely lackluster.

Fans shared that Kinberg ruined the X-Men franchise with his involvement and would repeat the same with the new reboot. The sci-fi space series received some recent love with the streaming series, Star Trek Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds.

The Return of Aragorn, 5 Ways the Ranger Could Play a Key Role in The Hunt for Gollum - Main Image
Now that the new Lord of the Rings movie has been announced, fans are excited to learn everything they can about it. There are many theories on the internet regarding what The Hunt for Gollum will be. A good chunk of these are the possible returns of beloved franchise characters and their roles in the movie!
Enter Aragorn, once known as Strider, and eventually the King of Arnor and Gondor. The certified badass is a possible addition to the new film in production, and these theories might earn him some screen time in The Hunt for Gollum.
Aragorn might be the main focus of the film
While the new The Lord of the Rings film is titled The Hunt for Gollum, it might not be entirely about the Ring-corrupted creature.

X-Men ’97 has finally concluded with 10 episodes and it can be undoubtedly hailed as one of the best Marvel shows yet. The animated revival and continuation of the 90s X-Men: The Animated Series garnered praise for its masterful handling of several iconic comic book storylines. Yet there was one significant moment in X-Men ’97 that was not so easy to execute.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting bigger and bigger. Apart from Marvel’s first family making it into the universe, the fan-favorite X-Men, too, have finally made it to superhero verse. After Beau DeMayo’s X-Men ’97 showed how well Marvel is capable of handling the team, the prospects of the mutants making it to live-action have certainly garnered enough attention and excitement from fans.

This has resulted in fans making several casting suggestions and promoting various actors for different roles. And among the many actors being promoted by fans, Stranger Things star Sadie Sink has become a popular choice for Jean Grey.

So far, Loki is the only Disney+ Marvel-based series to get a second season, but we're now hearing that a sophomore run for another popular show might be in the cards.
According to Daniel Richtman, a second season of Ms. Marvel is being discussed, but a final decision has not been made.
We have heard that Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) is being position as a major player in the MCU going forward, so a second season of her solo show would make sense. That said, Khan's big-screen debut, The Marvels, massively underperformed, which might well influence Marvel/Disney's decision.
Somewhat controversially for long-time fans of the character, Khan was revealed to be a mutant in the season 1 finale, ret-conning her Inhuman status from the comic books.
This new origin soon carried over to the page (though she also retains her Inhuman-ness), with Khan becoming the latest member of the X-Men,...

Spoiler Warning: This story discusses major plot developments across the entire first season of “X-Men ’97,” currently streaming on Disney+.
To say Marvel fans have enjoyed the first season “X-Men ’97” — the continuation of the beloved animated series from the 1990s, widely credited for laying the foundation for the explosion of superhero cinema in the 2000s and 2010s — is a bit like saying Wolverine has a bit of an anger issue. The show has enthralled viewers with a dizzying narrative tapestry that’s been unflinching in its capacity to make bold choices. First among them was Episode 5, “Remember It,” in which an army of robot Sentinels slaughters thousands of mutants who had been celebrating in their island nation of Genosha, a truly shocking development that vividly — and trenchantly — evokes similar tragedies, from 9/11 to the Pulse nightclub shooting to the attacks in Israel on Oct. 7 and the ongoing siege of Gaza in response.

This X-Men ’97 article contains spoilers.
X-Men ’97 ended with more than a few spinning plates. Sure, Bastion was defeated, but the events sent some of the X-Men to the far future and others into the past. And yet a few others were zapped to parts unknown, such as Wolverine, who remains in critical condition after Magneto ripped out his adamantium skeleton. Back in the present, Forge and Bishop make plans to find their friends. Then there’s the matter of Professor X and Magneto’s mental states, which seems to be pointing toward the coming of the terrible Onslaught.
As that last point reminds us, as wonderful as X-Men ’97 is, a lot of its power comes from the Marvel comics that it adapts. The first season of X-Men ’97 ran quickly through some important storylines from the comics, including Inferno, Mutant Massacre, Lifedeath, and Operation: Zero Tolerance.

With the first season of "X-Men '97" finished, there's no denying that the animated series revival may be the finest work Marvel Studios has produced since "Avengers: Endgame." What may have started as nostalgia bait evolved into something much more interesting and nuanced after the shocking attack on Genosha. This really did change everything for the show, as the tone got darker and more serious, while the characters became more somber.
Another consequence of this genocide was that the central conflict of all the primary X-Men movies to date -- the clash of ideals between Charles Xavier and Erik Magnus Lehnsherr -- became much less complicated. How? The cartoon made it rather clear that Magneto was right all along. Humans suck, they will never accept mutants unless they're dead, and thinking otherwise is delusional.

After Professor X forces Magneto to undo the damage he's inflicted on the Earth (you can read our full recap here), Silver Samurai is once again shown watching over his home before we head to the White House and see Captain America alongside the Invincible Iron Man.

We soon learn this is all in Magneto's head, with Professor X using his immense psychic abilities to force his friend-turned-foe to undo the damage he's inflicted upon the Earth. He succeeds, but Bastion is far from done and still has an army of Prime Sentinels on hand.
Just as the villain is about to kill Cable, Jean Grey returns as the Phoenix (briefly) to deal with him and leaves Mister Sinister a husk of his normal self. However, Bastion takes advantage of the distraction to take the Techno-Organic Virus...

‘X-Men ’97’ was an unexpected hit for Marvel Studios. Following a series of flops in 2023 the studio really needed something to restore at least some of the faith that the franchise could be salvaged from a series of bad stories.
In comes ‘X-Men ’97’ a revival of the old ‘X-Men: The Animated Series.’ Fans were wonderfully surprised when the showrunners managed to keep faithful to the old show with new and modern twists.
Despite being fired from the studio just days before the season 1 premiere, Beau DeMayo continued comments on the show and guided fans across the episodes through some of the most devastating moments in the franchise’s history.
DeMayo frequently recommended both comics to read through to better understand the context of the episodes, as well as episodes of the original ‘X-Men: The Animated Series.’
Now since the finale is just 2 days away, DeMayo once again took to...

Happy anniversary to the Writers Guild of America strike! On May 2, 2023, Hollywood writers officially put their pencils down in an effort to bring compensation closer in line with the revenues generated by their movies and TV shows. A steadfast refusal by studios to engage with writers on some issues led the strike to be prolonged, and eventually, the Screen Actors Guild joined the work stoppage as well.
Fast forward to 2024, and many studios are still trying to get their production schedules back together. Fortunately, it looks to be smooth sailing for getting TV productions on track in 2024, and The Streamable has compiled its traditional list of new titles coming to TV and streaming every day this week to help you keep track of what’s coming back when.

*Major Spoilers for X-Men ’97 Season Finale*
It has been said countless times before that Marvel Studios and the MCU do not like to leave loose ends. Although the finale of X-Men ’97 was one of the most iconic episodes of the animated series, Marvel Studios also completed the loop after 31 years!
With Wolverine uttering one iconic line to Magneto during the finale of X-Men ’97, the mutants really came full circle 31 years back when the Og X-Men: The Animated Series was released in 1992 and fans were really impressed with Marvel’s ability!
Magneto in X-Men ’97
“The brave are always the first to die”
It was 1992 when Magneto said an iconic line in the original animated show X-Men: The Animated Series. When the mutants (including Wolverine) chose to get in the Blackbird to face Bolivar Trask and Master Mold to save President Robert Kelly, Magneto considered it a suicide mission.

We still don't know why exactly Marvel Studios parted ways with X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo shortly before the series launched (and no one seems willing to explain).
Unsurprisingly, the writer has today confirmed that he's in the dark about Marvel's season 2 plans and where the series goes from there. However, DeMayo also told fans on X - via Toonado.com - that he originally had a five-season plan which seemingly included taking us to the "Age of Apocalypse."
Marvel Studios might be looking to stick with that, though if "creative differences" came into play, there are any number of directions X-Men '97 could head in after this first batch of episodes.
Thank you. I’d like you to discover the answer to this on your own. But I will also say I had a five season plan.

X-Men ’97‘s Episode 9 saw Wolverine and Magneto play out one of their most brutal battles from the comics, which ended with Magneto ripping out the adamantium from Wolverine’s skeleton, leaving him on the brink of death. While this might be bringing a world of hurt to the character, the trajectory that is being set for the story might be great news for those who miss the X-Men’s resident Cajun.

Remy LeBeau tragically lost his life during the Sentinel assault on Genosha, which claimed the lives of a significant amount of mutants. In the most recent episode of the show, Wolverine found himself similarly indisposed after Magneto crippled the elder mutant. Given that these two characters become Horsemen of Apocalypse, a theory suggests it is quite possible it is something X-Men 97 is setting up.

Wolverine has always been a mystery, ever since he stalked the Hulk through the Canadian wilderness in his 1974 first appearance. Over the years, readers got occasional glimpses into his past, from his real name(s) to his shady black ops missions.
One of the most shocking reveals came in the aftermath to 1993’s X-Men #25, the climax of the crossover event Fatal Attractions, when an incensed Magneto ripped out Wolverine’s Adamantium skeleton.
X-Men ’97 has already run through some of the most important events in X-Men history, covering Inferno, Mutant Massacre, and E is for Extinction in the span of nine 22-minute episodes. But the series set up something much bigger when it pulled from Fatal Attractions in the penultimate episode of the first season, “Tolerance is Extinction Part Two.” By that episodes end, a desperate Magneto stops Wolverine the only way he knows how,...

Wolverine is a character that was conceived to suffer. Throughout his history in comics, films, video games, and TV shows, the character has rarely known respite but carries on anyway. X-Men ’97 is no exception, finally giving the character his inevitable moment of torment in its latest episode.
Wolverine in X-Men ’97
As a character, Logan has often been described as a ronin, a samurai without a master, who is fiercely loyal to those he loves and is a victim of tragedy more often than fortune. It is perhaps this inevitability of ruin that causes Logan to struggle ever harder against his adversaries, especially when it comes to his family and friends, as we see in Episode 9 of X-Men ’97, Tolerance is Extinction Part 2.

It is perhaps this inevitability of ruin that causes Logan to struggle ever harder against his adversaries, especially when it comes to his family and friends, as we see in Episode 9 of X-Men ’97, Tolerance is Extinction Part 2.

Today's episode of X-Men '97, "Tolerance Is Extinction - Part 2," opens with Charles Xavier waking up in the ruins of the X-Mansion. Magneto's Emp blast has left the world in disarray and the X-Men have only 12 hours to get him to undo the damage before it becomes permanent.
Storm saves Jubilee and Sunspot from an angry group of humans and Cyclops turns down Professor X's offer of friendship. Rogue, meanwhile, continues to mourn for Gambit and the team later splits in two: one group will confront Magneto and the other needs to defeat Bastion so they can free the Prime Sentinels from his control.

X-Men '97 has featured a handful of memorable cameos from some high-profile Marvel characters, including Spider-Man and Captain America.
The latter is best known for leading The Avengers, and with everything this world's mutants are going through - including Magneto seemingly declaring war on humanity - could a clash between them and the X-Men be on the horizon?
Talking to ComicBook.com (via Toonado.com), Professor X actor Ross Marquand shared his belief that there's "a real chance" the two teams go head-to-head in an animated adaptation of Avengers vs. X-Men.
"You saw what happened in the last episode [with] Rogue and Captain America," Marquand started. "There's a real chance that that could happen. He can't fly. Captain can't fly. She threw that in the side of a snowy mountain."
"I'm sure it's lodged in there 50 feet deep. He ain't gonna find that shield," he joked. "It's not like Mjolnir where...

The MCU seems to have hit a rough patch lately with its movies. But things have been more positive on the TV side, with WandaVision, Loki, and Moon Knight garnering universal acclaim. The latest win for the franchise takes the form of X-Men ’97, a continuation of the classic animated X-Men series from 1997.
The show has been praised by fans and critics for staying true to the spirit of the original series while also feeling modern and fresh. In a recent episode, X-Men ’97 pulled off an important scene that could have major repercussions, not just for its characters but the MCU as a whole. In fact, a recent interview with one of the cast members of the show hinted at how the scene could lead to a showdown between the X-Men and the Avengers.

X-Men ’97 head writer and producer Beau DeMayo has recommended a slew of material for audiences to watch and read in preparation for episodes to come, which usually point towards what fans can expect from the show in the coming weeks.

This week’s recommendations came in the form of the X-Men story Fatal Attractions, certain plot points of which have already been set in motion in Episode 8 of X-Men ’97. We saw Magneto declare war on Humanity, and Professor X appears in the nick of time to assemble his X-Men to fight whatever the Master of Magnetism has in store.
However, if these plot points lead to the same end destination that the comic book does, fans might be in for one of Wolverine’s most brutal scenes from the comics.

X-Men ’97 is all set for its finale, which began with the first entry in a three-part saga with X-Men ’97 Episode 8, Tolerance is Extinction Part 1. There were a lot of stand-out moments from the episode, but the chief among them was when Magneto was able to escape from Bastion’s clutches and emit a global Emp that rendered the Prime Sentinels of the world and global the electrical grid dead.

Seeing that Magneto had a very uneasy peace with humanity when he took over from Charles Xavier and that he declared war thanks to Bastion’s actions, the X-Men could be headed to a particularly brutal fight with the Master of Magnetism, one that could directly result in the emergence of a terrifying foe, who could be the antagonist for Season 2 of X-Men ’97.

Hugh Jackman will be making his comeback as Wolverine in this year’s only MCU release, Deadpool & Wolverine. The actor last essayed the role in 2017’s Logan, which saw Wolverine die after being the last X-Man in a post-apocalyptic future. However, this time around, the portrayal is a little different, as Hugh Jackman will be essaying the role for the first time in a comic-accurate costume.

The comic-accurate costume was almost teased in 2013’s The Wolverine, in a deleted scene that did not make it in the final cut. However, the costume has finally made its way to the live-action space. Hugh Jackman sat down to talk with Empire about his experience with the costume, which might have been a tad bit too similar to what the fans experienced the first time they saw the costume.

X-Men ’97 once again hinted at an established Marvel concept, that of fixed points in timelines, famously dubbed as canon events in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. These points in time are usually events that cannot be undone no matter what and are destined to occur across timelines. If the X-Men ’97 universe indeed exists in the same multiverse as the MCU, it is possible that the show could have hinted at the thing event that Wolverine failed to save his world in Deadpool & Wolverine.

X-Men ’97 has been diving into a host of storylines from the comics, not refraining from going towards the more complex plot points that make an appearance in X-Men comics. Characters from the original animated series have been making a comeback in X-Men ’97. This has also allowed a slew of actors from the original series to return to their roles. However there is one actor who has returned in a completely different form, but still holds the fate of his character from X-Men ’97 in his hands.

Chris Potter originally voiced Gambit in X-Men: The Animated Series, a role that A.J. LoCascio has now taken over.

I'm the precise age to have been introduced to the Marvel Universe by animation and film. Back then in the bygone 2000s, superhero movies never crossed over and the best that us wee fans could hope for was, say, the X-Men playing guest star on "Spider-Man" for an episode or two. I've now evolved into a curmudgeon who thinks superhero cinema could use more individuality and less interconnectivity, but I digress.
All this is to say that "X-Men '97" episode 7, "Bright Eyes," featured the sort of brief guest appearance that would've made 10-year-old me super-excited: Rogue meets Captain America (Josh Keaton). You might recall that Cap appeared back in the original "X-Men" cartoon; the season 5 episode, "Old Soldiers," showed him and Wolverine on a mission together in World War II.

Fascinatingly, X-Men ’97 is not the first show with a rumored Spider-Man cameo this year. However, it is much more likely that Marvel’s Web-head would be able to make an appearance in the X-Men successor series given that Marvel might not have to jump hoops to bring him into X-Men ’97.
Marvel famously has to share its rights with Sony when it comes to Spider-Man, splitting his rights to appear in live-action films. There was a lot of anticipation about how the character might appear in Amamzon’s Invincible, but that was quickly sidestepped thanks to the hoops the show might have to go through to make that happen.

Only under great duress is one’s mettle assessed; responses to troubling times are the litmus test of one’s character. While some possess the temperament to endure and gather themselves, there remain those too broken who easily resort to destructive paths. The massacre of Genosha has wrecked the X-Men in the worst way imaginable, and Rogue’s extreme reaction in its aftermath, as shown in the seventh episode of the season, is her coping mechanism. However, considering this as the lowest point for the mutants would be foolishness, as even worse is yet to come, which is teased by the latest episode of X-Men’97 titled ‘Bright Eyes’, as an evil mastermind plans to break the spirit of the mutants worldwide.
In the previous episode, it was revealed that Charles Xavier had actually survived Gyrich’s assassination attempt and was living in the Shi’ar Empire with his beloved Empress Lilandra.

X-Men ’97: Captain America Returns ( Photo Credit – Disney+ Hotstar )
Every Marvel fan is currently busy binging on the X-Men ’97 series. The premise of the animated series picks up where the 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series ends. The MCU series is created by Beau DeMayo. So far, seven episodes have dropped on Disney+ Hotstar. In the latest episode, ‘Bright Eyes’, the team has brought back Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.
In MCU movies, Chris Evans, who played Steve Rogers, is probably dead after Avengers: Endgame. But seeing the Cap return in X-Men ’97 made the Marvel fans happy. However, not everyone is pleased with the way they treated him in the animated series. Fans are unhappy with how the makers showed Steve’s alignment towards the government when he stood against their wrongdoings in movies. It’s a scene between Rogue (voiced by Lenore Zann) and Cap (Josh Keaton) that has got the reactions.

Taylor Swift has conquered the world of music, and it's long been rumored that the next step in her career is the movies.
She has her own eponymous production company, for one. In 2020, she starred in the documentary "Miss Americana," and in 2021, she directed a short film adapting her song "All Too Well," starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien.

She has her own eponymous production company, for one. In 2020, she starred in the documentary "Miss Americana," and in 2021, she directed a short film adapting her song "All Too Well," starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien.

The end of the fifth episode of "X-Men '97" gave fans quite the shock. Not only did the peaceful haven of Genosha suddenly find itself under attack by a massive Tri-Sentinel Master Mold that massacred unknown numbers of mutants, but the beloved X-Men team member Gambit met his demise in a final act of heroism that stopped the tragedy from getting even worse. A week later, the end of the sixth episode revealed that it was recurring X-Men villain Mister Sinister who was behind the attack, having manipulated Bolivar Trask into activating the Sentinel strike. But as we learned in this week's seventh episode, "Bright Eyes," Sinister is just one part of the equation.
Throughout episode 7 of "X-Men '97," Rogue is trying to figure out who was responsible for the destruction on Genosha and the death of Gambit. She's out for vengeance, and in her pursuit, she encounters Captain America,...

While the cameos do not significantly affect the overall plot of the episode they still serve as a nice nod to the larger universe the X-Men inhibit. Such cameos were also a trademark of the original 90s animated series and the earlier entries in Kevin Feige’s MCU, which later expanded into a grand shared universe. Here is what you need to know about X-Men ‘97 episode 7’s cameos and how they use a trick from Feige’s early MCU playbook.

Waiting for The Rings of Power season 2 feels a lot like Gandalf and Pippin looking out from Minas Tirith at the approaching fires of Mordor, a deep breath before the plunge. The Rings of Power season 2 wrapped filming last year and is reportedly slated to hit our screens in 2024, but Amazon has yet to announce a proper release date or tease anything from the new season beside vague hints from cast members last summer (like our interview with Morfydd Clark about what’s next for Galadriel). It’s been a long wait, with the last episode of the series airing in 2022.
But fans shouldn’t take the silence surrounding the second season as a sign that Amazon has cooled on its big-budget Lord of the Rings series. In fact, according to reports, the studio and showrunners Patrick McKay and Jd Payne are already whipping up a third season of the show.

Deadpool 3 is expected to be among the most highly anticipated films of the year, and it seems that each new piece of information released raises the level of excitement. Well, recently, fans have been buzzing with speculation about one scene, in particular, from the trailer, which could have a connection to Brett Ratner’s X-Men: The Last Stand (2006).
Fans may recall that after unleashing the Phoenix and destroying everything in her path, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) was killed by Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in the 2006 flick. For a brief while, Jean regained control and begged Wolverine to use his claws to kill her. Wolverine was, thus, plagued by guilt for killing the woman he loved.

Now, the Deadpool 3 scene, in question, suggests that this variant of Wolverine failed to take out Jean Grey in time, resulting in the X-Men’s demise. But what if...

Marvel Studios’ latest animated show, X-Men ’97 started where the original X-Men: The Animated Series left off. Bringing back the mutant superheroes back on our screens, the show has touched fans with a familiar style of storytelling, bringing major nostalgia, but also adding elements of today’s time. The writing has also been top-notch, which only added to the show, which has found critical acclaim alongside high ratings.

Some have called X-Men ’97 “woke” because of certain elements that have been added to it. But now that Marvel has released the synopsis for the upcoming live action X-Men movie, these trolls would not be feeling up to it!

Wanda was never just a character in the MCU. She started out a villain, became a hero, became a hero with a tragic backstory, lost everything, and circled back to being a villain until eventually becoming sort of a hero again by destroying Darkhold and supposedly taking her own life.
Now even the ending of ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ was pretty open-ended, and the official statements on the matter really did nothing to answer the question – is Wanda still alive within the MCU?
Most fans, including me, believe that collapsing debris can’t really do much against Nexus being with such a Multiversal potential, after all, we’ve seen Wanda tanking far worse, so she will likely return. Recently, there’s been a few rumors circling that she is going to get her own standalone movie, even if that doesn’t happen, there are a few projects in which she could return,...

X-Men will soon be making their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, either via the multiverse or as they have introduced other heroes into the universe. With an X-Men project rumored to be in the works, and looking for release before Secret Wars rolls around, an official synopsis of the plot of the film has been made public.
X-Men ’97 [Credit: Disney+]The summary comes courtesy of a Production Weekly report, and it seems that fans are not pleased with what was revealed, if it can even be called a reveal at all. Fans have taken to Twitter to mock how generic the summary of the production has been, being downright comparable to a practical joke, or even a parody.

This article contains spoilers for "X-Men '97."
The sixth and latest episode of "X-Men '97" was titled "Lifedeath – Part 2." Sure enough, it continued the story of Storm and Forge (adapting a classic "X-Men" comic), culminating with Ororo regaining her mutant gifts as she pounds her fears (including claustrophobia and a demon owl) into submission. Gaining her Og Dave Cockrum-designed costume and white locks to show for it, Storm (once more Mistress of the Elements) called down a lightning strike seen from orbit and soared like Superman. But that wasn't all.
Like the previous "Lifedeath," this episode was bifurcated with an unrelated story — a story set a whole galaxy away. The X-Men have told the world that their founder and mentor Charles "Professor X" Xavier is dead, assassinated by anti-mutant extremist Henry Gyrich. That's why Magneto, Charles' heir, has taken his best frenemy's place as team leader (and rekindled his...
