This article contains spoilers for "X-Men '97."
Magneto of "X-Men" has one of the most brilliant backstories in superhero comics — they almost made a movie entirely about it. He was once a young Jewish boy when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Captured and dehumanized, he suffered at concentration camp Auschwitz like so many of his people. He survived but it convinced him that hatred is as natural to men as breathing, and so he fights to ensure the prosperity of mutantkind. This backstory was not part of Magneto's original conception (Chris Claremont added it in 1981's "Uncanny X-Men" #150), but you'll be hard-pressed to find a writer who hasn't embraced it since.
"X-Men '97" certainly has. In episode 2, "Mutant Liberation Begins," when Magneto is tried before the United Nations, he recalls how he was first put on his path when his people were slaughtered because "they called God by a different name.

The superhero movie renaissance has had a few absolutely perfect casting choices, and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is one of them. He might be taller than his comic book counterpart, but Jackman's performance as the brawny, growly, metal-clawed mutant was crucial to the success of the original "X-Men" movie trilogy. It's no wonder that his Wolverine has had three solo spin-off movies, including the critically acclaimed final chapter, "Logan." It's equally unsurprising that Jackman has been unable to resist returning, despite saying farewell to the character, for the upcoming threequel "Deadpool & Wolverine."
"For five years, I was really honest when I said, 'I'm never playing that part again, I promise you,'" Jackman has previously insisted. In a new interview with Empire magazine, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealed that he once urged Jackman to stick to this conviction:

In March 2019, Marvel Studios regained the film rights to X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool after Disney acquired Fox for $71.3 billion.
These characters are set to be incorporated into the MCU. In October 2020, the ‘X-Men’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ films were labeled as “Marvel Legacy films” on Disney+. Notably, Patrick Stewart reprised his role as an alternate Professor X in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ and Kelsey Grammer returned as Beast in ‘The Marvels.’ ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ will bring Deadpool and Wolverine, played by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, respectively, into the MCU continuity. As time passes, it becomes more evident that we are approaching the reboot. Therefore, we’ve compiled everything we know so far.
The studio is said to be seeking a mix of drama and comedy
Very little is known about the upcoming project’s plot, but the studio has recently ramped up its search for a writer.

This X-Men ’97 article contains spoilers.
“Tastes like chicken.” If that phrase brings to mind the evil mutant the Blob chowing down on the Wasp’s corpse, then the ending of X-Men ’97‘s eighth episode, “Tolerance Is Extinction Part One,” should send shivers down your spine.
After all, Magneto’s decision to attack the entire planet Earth in X-Men ’97 has a lot in common with the inciting event of Ultimatum, the 2009 Marvel event that somehow made the already grim and edgy Ultimate Marvel Universe even grimmer and edgier, to very mixed results.
The connections between Ultimatum and “Tolerance Is Extinction Part One” only stand out more when one considers all of the many cameos in the episode, which showed that anti-mutant bigotry isn’t just limited to the X-Men, but it affects the entire Marvel Universe.

Who would have thought that a superhero series could look like a mix of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? It would seem that in the superhero world, where the game was turned upside down many years ago by Daredevil and Jessica Jones, nothing could surprise the viewers.
But there is a man named Noah Hawley, who has already managed to turn the near-perfect Coen Brothers movie Fargo into an excellent modern series of the same name. But Hawley didn't stop there – he made a show from the X-Men universe that doesn't play by the rules of the genre, and follows its own strange logic.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ trailer recently dropped, and we’ve seen everything from nods to comic storylines to an overwhelming amount of cameos about to appear in the movie.
The movie sees Deadpool as he is set to return to his crime-fighting tendencies after he is recruited by the Tva to stop his reality from collapsing. Wade will attempt to talk Wolverine into helping him, but judging by the trailer Wolverine will be more than reluctant. The movie will introduce Cassandra Nova to the MCU as the primary villain as well as continue the Multiversal Theme of the MCU.
Considering that the reactions to the second (and the first) trailer were overwhelmingly positive plenty of fans were surprised that ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is set to return to filming, undergoing a last-minute round of reshoots.

The recent trailer for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ has revealed a lot, from nods to comic storylines to numerous cameos expected in the film.
In the movie, Deadpool is recruited by the Tva to prevent his reality from falling apart, prompting him to return to crime-fighting. He tries to persuade Wolverine to join him, but it seems Wolverine is not keen, as shown in the trailer. The film will introduce Cassandra Nova as the main villain of the MCU and will continue the Multiversal Theme of the MCU.
Given the overwhelmingly positive reactions to both the first and second trailers, many fans were taken aback by the news that ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is undergoing last-minute reshoots. Naturally, this raised concerns among fans, but such occurrences are quite common, especially so close to the release date. It doesn’t necessarily indicate any major changes to the story being made.

As long as there have been X-Men movies, Wolverine has generally been front and centre. While the adamantium-clawed mutant isn’t the team’s leader – nor usually central in the comics or cartoons – Hugh Jackman’s incarnation of Logan became the focal point of the original X-Men trilogy, as well as several Wolverine spin-off films (including deeply emotional send-off Logan), and timeline-hopping crossovers like Days Of Future Past. But even amid all those outings, there’s still fresh ground to be covered in Jackman’s long-awaited return to the role. Yes, he’s donning the claws again – years after thinking he was done for good – in Deadpool & Wolverine, teaming up with Ryan Reynolds’ Merc With A Mouth for a Marvel movie like no other.
And, as he tells Empire, it brought plenty of fresh opportunities with it – including getting to wear the character’s iconic yellow get-up in the flesh for the first time.

X-Men ’97 has been peppered with controversy over its characters, but creator Beau DeMayo proudly acknowledges the changes he brought into the show. Even though he was fired from the project days before its premiere, he continues to keep an eye on the series and even responds to fans’ comments.

As an openly gay man, DeMayo claimed that the series’ story was informed by his own experiences in life. There’s no wonder why there are some queer characters in the show, which of course, elicited divided reactions from the viewers.

According to recent reports, reshoots for Deadpool and Wolverine are currently underway, and could continue until the end of the month.
Additional photography is pretty much the norm for any major studio blockbuster, but some fans still tend to assume the worst. While it's true that reshoots can often alter significant plot points/character arcs, more often than not, it's something much more trivial.
According to Daniel Richtman, the D&w reshoots are mostly to add even more cameos. Marvel Studios and director Shawn Levy are pleased with the movie, and aren't attempting to "fix anything."
There's been some concern that the Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut is already shaping up to be too much of a "cameo fest," so we're not sure how well this update will sit with fans - although we've heard that most of the surprise appearances will happen during the same sequence, which might...

In the vast cosmos of fandoms, Marvel and DC stand miles apart despite both sharing several similarities. Yet, fans of the two are often embroiled in clashes and rivalries, arguing over a plethora of things and blasting each other off. However, one particular figure, Zack Snyder, has often united the two fandoms. Not because of his talent and work but because fans love to hate the ingenious filmmaker for his feat in the DC universe.

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." was a changed show in its second season. In its early days, the Marvel Television series suffered from an identity crisis. Season 1 started out trying to emulate co-creator Joss Whedon's previous work, yet it played as a pale imitation of shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and especially "Firefly," following a ragtag team of misfits on weekly adventures in their flying home base. However, the one-two combo punch of Whedon stepping away from the series and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" blowing up the Marvel Cinematic Universe's status quo near the end of season 1 proved to be just the creative boost the show needed.
Upon returning for season 2, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." had gained a newfound confidence. Its characters began to take on greater dimensions, it really embraced the idea of being a show about everyday people trying to keep the world safe, and it even started...

Airbnb is offering customers the chance to stay in a recreation of the house from Up, complete with being lifted into the air via crane.

The latest episode of X-Men '97 was another mind-blowing effort full of surprises and plot twists.
You can read our recap of "Tolerance Is Extinction" by clicking here. In the meantime, Head Writer/showrunner Beau DeMayo (who was dismissed by Marvel Studios for reasons which still aren't clear) has taken to X - via Toonado.com - to share some insights into this latest instalment.
He started by addressing a few key moments, including who that mysterious woman was speaking to Bastion and some of the unique imagery included in the episode...along with a pretty sizeable Easter Egg which should make rewatches essential.
She is a human government official from an unnamed Un nation

Challengers and The Fall Guy prove that the movie star is still alive – and can make a huge difference to a film’s success. A few thoughts…
The movie star is dead. Or at least our idea of stardom may have drastically changed. After streaming has become a credible rival to cinemas, it’s not so much star power that necessarily gets people to spend their hard-earned money on a movie ticket. Sure, the Swifties ran to the cinemas to watch The Eras Tour, but Taylor Swift is hardly a movie star, despite her turn in Cats.
Ana De Armas blames social media for the lack of movie stars. “I feel like the new generations don’t have that concept, because of social media,” de Armas told Vanity Fair in 2023. “There is so much information out there and oversharing. The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen.

The debut of Episode 8 of ‘X-Men ’97’ marked the commencement of its three-part finale, advancing the overarching narrative while also featuring a notable cameo. Christopher Barnes’ Spider-Man made a surprise appearance following Captain America, sparking fan speculation about the integration of ‘Spider-Man ’94’ into the continuity of the new ‘X-Men ’97.’
Previously, it was established that all Marvel Animated series, while not aligned with the MCU canon, belong to the broader Marvel Animated Multiverse. This categorization holds merit, given the significant disparities between the older and newer shows, offering a logical framework for their coexistence.
After Episode 8 aired, well-known industry insider Daniel Richtman asserted that ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Silver Surfer,’ ‘Fantastic Four,’ and ‘The Incredible Hulk’ all inhabit a shared universe.

The release of ‘X-Men ’97’ Episode 8 Started the three-part finale, and of course, advanced the overall story of the show, but it also included one notable cameo. After Captain America, Christopher Barnes’ Spider-Man showed up in the show, which prompted fans to conclude that ‘Spider-Man ’94’ is truly canon to the new ‘X-Men ’97.’
It was stated a while back that all Marvel Animated shows, despite not being canon to the MCU, are part of Marvel Animated Multiverse, and that definition is truly sensible and logical, since the older shows (and by extension new shows) contradict each other in quite a lot of ways.
Now following the release of episode 8, notable industry insider Daniel Richtman stated that ‘Spider-Man’, ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Silver Surfer,’ ‘Fantastic Four,’ and ‘The Incredible Hulk’ are all set within the same universe.

X-Men ’97 has fascinated fans and critics. The series has certainly given fans a nostalgic experience, as the Disney+ show continued where it was left in X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997) with the original cast. Also, as the show premiered, several surprises have baffled fans with excitement.
Spider-Man in Spider-Man animated series
One of the recent surprises was when Spider-Man popped up in episode 8 of the series. Now, fans want Spider-Man animated series voice actor Christopher Daniel Barnes to return to the MCU with his 90s Spider-Man. The actor recently revealed that he is open to coming back.

Zack Snyder’s Dcu tenure can be best described as an ambitious effort cut short due to the very divisive reception of his films. While Snyder believed he was pushing the boundaries with the storytelling and doing something new with the characters, it did not satisfy fans. Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice did little to excite core DC fans.
A still from X-Men ’97
One of the most infamous scenes from the latter was the Martha scene, where Superman tells Batman to save his adoptive mother before he kills him. The scene has become the butt of jokes over the years, and now X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo is the latest to poke fun at the memefied scene.

A few weeks ago, X-Men '97 delivered its most devastating episode to date when the master Mold Sentinel was unleashed on Genosha and killed countless mutants.
Tragically, Gambit was among them. However, following Cable's arrival in the present day, the prevailing theory among fans has been that time travel will ultimately be used to undo Bastion's attack and likely bring the fan-favourite Cajun mutant back from the dead.
Today's episode of X-Men '97, titled "Tolerance Is Extinction - Part 1," appears to dispel that notion once and for all. We learn that Cable has travelled back in time to the attack on Genosha countless times, only to be temporally pulled away from the event before he can stop it.
To that, Beast says, "Strange, the mystics of Kamar-Taj speak of absolute points.

Airbnb is doing a new thing called “Icons” where they offer special locations or events. One of their offerings is a recreation of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning from ‘X-Men ’97.’ They are also doing one of the house from “Up” complete with crane lifting!
Let’s take a look at both offerings! X-Men ’97 House.
The home is in New York, overlooking New York City. It has been transformed into the “cartoon” by using a hand-painting technique to mimic 2-D art.
The experience includes:
“• I’ll lead you through new student orientation (don’t worry we’ll get to the fun stuff fast).
• Enter Beast’s totally gnarly lab! It’s like a science playground where you’ll be able to power-up with mutant energy elixirs.
• Take a class in the Danger Room, where some of our combat professors will teach you how to improve your fighting skills...

Spoilers for "X-Men '97" follow.
You may not remember that the original "X-Men" cartoon from 1992 kicked off a flurry of '90s Marvel cartoons sometimes known as "The Marvel Animated Universe." This universe is less well known than the contemporary DC Animated Universe ("Batman: The Animated Series" up to "Justice League Unlimited"). The DC cartoons were overseen by a single creative team, so the connections were organic and culminated in story arcs. The Marvel cartoons, though? They all aired simultaneously (rather than in succession like the DC ones) and had different creators, so the most intersection was occasional crossovers.
"X-Men '97" remains laser-focused on the marvelous mutants, but it hasn't been shy about including cameos from other corners of the Marvel Comics setting. Episode 6, "Lifedeath – Part 2" featured Ronan The Accuser (you might remember him as the villain in "Guardians of the Galaxy"). Episode 7, "Bright Eyes," saw Rogue butt heads with Captain America.

Over the last few months, a mansion in Westchester County, New York has been meticulously transformed into the X-Mansion from X-Men ’97 by Airbnb, complete with Professor X’s office, Beast’s lab, the danger room, and even a giant severed head of a Sentinel sitting out front.

X-Men '97's three-part "Tolerance Is Extinction" finale kicked off today and it saw the team set out to stop Bastion's plan to destroy mutantkind.
Cable explains that, in his timeline, Bastion has created a world where the few remaining mutants are subservient to his technologically advanced humans (who have all been infected by a new strain of the techno-organic virus that led to Nathan being sent into the future as a baby).
With Rogue still comatose, the X-Men see if they can learn more about Bastion; it turns out that, after his father was infected by future technology, Bastion was conceived and mutated into a being comprised of Nimrod, the Sentinel Master Mold, and a human.

“You’ve been making women feel bad about themselves since you were invented,” the hip teen Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) tells the stereotypical Barbie standing before her. “You represent everything wrong with our culture: sexualized capitalism, unrealistic physical ideals.” Stereotypical Barbie is horrified: “No, no, no, you’re describing something stereotypical,” she insists.
Margot Robbie spent much of Barbie proving why the doll she portrayed wasn’t the sexist object that girls like Sasha see. The Aussie actor has a much more difficult task ahead of her if she’s going to do the same thing in her upcoming project Avengelyne. Everything about Avengelyne screams mindless sex and violence—which is why Robbie is the perfect choice. Hold on, let us explain…

The mansion, sitting atop a hill in Westchester County, New York, could be mistaken for any number of homes in the area, save for one little, er, big, thing.
In the driveway, feet from the front door, there is the battered severed head of a giant Sentinel, one of the antagonists to the X-Men.
The house, overlooking rolling hills north of New York City, was until recently a residential home. For a few months however, Airbnb is taking it over, turning the home into a recreation of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, as featured specifically in the Marvel Animation series X-Men ’97.
That includes an interior that has been meticulously hand-painted so as to appear two-dimensional, as in the cartoon, with the bedrooms, Professor X’s office, Beast’s lab, and even a “danger room” available for guests to explore.

The serial killer thriller The Huntsman is set to begin filming in Oklahoma on May 22nd, and with that date just a few weeks away we’ve received a press release that reveals some casting information: Shawn Ashmore of Adam Green’s Frozen and the X-Men franchise is set to star in The Huntsman alongside Garret Dillahunt (Fear the Walking Dead), Elizabeth Mitchell (The Purge: Election Year), and Jessy Schram (Unstoppable). Out of Exile director Kyle Kauwika Harris takes the helm of this “gritty psychological thriller”, working from a screenplay by Steven Jon Whritner that’s based on author Judith Sanders’ novel of the same name.
The Huntsman will see Ashmore taking on the role of a repressed ICU nurse volunteering as a reader for a recovering coma patient (Dillahunt), the prime suspect in the savage murders of six young women in a small southwestern town. The suspect’s wife...

We've been hearing rumours for months that Wesley Snipes will return as Blade, and it was earlier this week that we learned the actor has indeed signed up for a future MCU appearance.
While X-Men and Spider-Man typically get the lion's share of credit for bringing superheroes back to theaters, Blade and Blade II arguably kickstarted the genre's return to prominence in the early 2000s. With that in mind, we find it easy to imagine Marvel Studios being keen to give Snipes the chance to bid farewell to the Daywalker after the disaster that was Blade: Trinity.
According to a rumour shared by scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Snipes has agreed to reprise his role as Blade in Deadpool & Wolverine.
This makes more sense than the next Avengers movies as Mahershala Ali should have appeared in the Blade reboot by then. It's also worth remembering that Snipes and Ryan Reynolds have a history on screen.

One of the biggest upcoming MCU releases is most certainly ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ The movie marks several big things. It’s Deadpool’s first foray into the MCU and also the only MCU movie to be released in 2024, in the hopes of restoring at least some of the faith that the fans of the franchise lost in the last several years due to a string of several poorly received movies.
The recently released trailer also confirmed that several old faces from the ‘Deadpool’ and Fox’s ‘X-Men’ franchises are going to be making a return, a few faces were however notably missing, Angel Dust, Cable, and Domino.
Most of the fans were aware that Gina Carano likely won’t be reprising her role as the actress was let go due to “offensive” posts made on social media after which she was promptly fired by Disney. But fans were still holding...

One of the most anticipated MCU releases is undoubtedly ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ This movie marks several significant milestones—it’s Deadpool’s first step into the MCU and the sole MCU film slated for release in 2024. The aim is to regain some of the faith lost by fans in recent years due to a string of poorly received movies.
The recently unveiled trailer also confirmed the return of several familiar faces from the ‘Deadpool’ and Fox’s ‘X-Men’ franchises. However, notable absences include Angel Dust, Cable, and Domino.
Many fans anticipated that Gina Carano wouldn’t return to her role, as she was fired following “offensive” social media posts, leading to her swift termination by Disney.

The recently unveiled trailer also confirmed the return of several familiar faces from the ‘Deadpool’ and Fox’s ‘X-Men’ franchises. However, notable absences include Angel Dust, Cable, and Domino.
Many fans anticipated that Gina Carano wouldn’t return to her role, as she was fired following “offensive” social media posts, leading to her swift termination by Disney. Despite this, fans clung to hope for Domino and Cable’s return, especially after their expanded roles were hinted at in ‘Deadpool 2.’

This post contains spoilers for X-Men ’97 episode 8.
“Magneto was right.” That phrase, spoken by Val Cooper at the end of the eighth episode of X-Men ’97 “Tolerance is Extinction Part One,” sent shivers down the spines of everyone watching. The extreme intolerance of humans like Bastion shattered Xavier’s dream, suggesting that humans and mutants could never, ever co-exist. The humans just won’t let the mutants be.
Before that statement occurred to Val Cooper, it appeared as a T-shirt. Specifically, a T-shirt worn by Quentin Quire, an incredibly powerful and incredibly condescending teen who attended Xavier’s School for Gifted Children. In New X-Men #135 (2003), written by Grant Morrison and penciled by Frank Quitely, Quire completes a transformation many of us experienced, from shy nerd to condescending punk. He dons an outfit to match, consisting of died purple hair, hip spectacles, and a T-shirt that read “Magneto Was Right.

X-Men ’97 has entered its final leg of episodes, igniting a war between mutants and human-sentinel hybrids created by Bastion. As the war kicks into high gear, fans are expecting to see a slew of omega-level and beyond-omega-level mutants enter the fray, along with other heroes who are sympathetic to the mutant cause.

The war is expected to be on a massive scale, given the number of human-sentinel hybrids that Bastion has created in secret. However, the Mutants could have some of their own heavy hitters join the fray to fight for the mutant extinction, and Beau DeMayo, the creator and head writer on the show, could have hinted at one particular mutant that fans cannot wait to see.

Why Did DeWanda Wise Leave Captain Marvel? Actress Breaks Silence - Main Image
Marvel found its Maria Rambeau in Lashana Lynch, but before the British actress took the role, DeWanda Wise was supposed to play Carol Denver’s best friend in the 2019 Captain Marvel. However, she left the project before the production began, and Wise has now broken her silence about the real reason behind her exit.
Wise was cast as Maria Rambeau in January 2018 but was forced to part ways with the project in March of the same year before the filming started that Spring.
At the time, it was revealed that her departure was due to scheduling conflicts with the production of She’s Gotta Have It Season 2.
However, some couldn’t help but notice Wise’s words when she said making a Marvel movie was her “own personal nightmare.” So, what’s the truth about her exit?

Ryan Reynolds has given his fans just what they seek from him through every single one of his performances. This especially includes his anti-hero Deadpool, which has even given fans the delight of seeing their favorite actor immaculately fight the most brutal and scariest villains from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, always standing his ground no matter how barbarous they were.
Ryan Reynolds in 6 Underground.
But while those menacing villains don’t seem to be able to terrify him, there’s something else that managed to do that part. And, surprisingly enough, this something else actually included Reynolds performing in front of his Korean fans while promoting the sequel to his 2016 masterpiece film of the beloved anti-hero six years ago, even though he was beyond “scared” to do it!

This Wednesday's episode of X-Men '97 kicks off a three-part finale titled "Tolerance Is Extinction." With Bastion determined to put an end to mutantkind and an army of "Prime Sentinels" on hand, the heroes look set to face their toughest challenge yet.
We have a fairly long list of unanswered questions heading into these remaining instalments, including what role Magneto will play in proceedings now he's in Bastion's grip and whether time travel will be used to ultimately undo the genocide which took place on Genosha (and led to the death of Gambit).
Thanks to Toonado.com, we have a new clip from episode 8 which sees Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Cable on the run from an army of Sentinels and bonding as only these mutants can.
Jean isn't technically Nathan's mother, of course, but her clone (Madelyne Pryor) is. This action-packed sneak peek proves you don't screw with the Summers...

The bell has been rung.” – Yes, that famous dialogue from Batman V Superman has been modified, but it perfectly fits with what Deadpool & Wolverine is about to bring to the theatres. The Deadpool threequel will officially introduce mutants in the MCU’s continuity, and the X-Men fans can’t be more hyped!

Warner Bros. in Talks to Land ‘Avengelyne’ With Margot Robbie Eyeing to Star, Tony McNamara to Write
The feature adaptation of “Avengelyne” from Olivia Wilde, Margot Robbie and “X-Men” producer Simon Kinberg is being set up at Warner Bros. The studio is close to finalizing a seven-figure film rights deal.
Robbie is eyeing the role of the titular angel who fights the forces of evil and often finds herself face-to-face with demons and monsters. “Deadpool” co-creator Rob Liefeld first brought the comic book character to life in 1995. “Poor Things” scribe Tony McNamara will pen the screenplay.
“This incredibly humbling journey to bring Avengelyne to life onscreen started through my relationship with super-producer Simon Kinberg who told me he had a perfect fit for the material and asked me to trust him,” Liefeld told Variety in an exclusive statement. “Next thing I’m meeting with Margot Robbie and Olivia Wilde and the connection was electric!
