X-Men Reviews, Interviews & More
It’s hard to get a read on whether or not the upcoming The Wolverine is any good after the horrendously dull disaster that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine—there are moments in the new trailer that look genuinely great or entertaining or thrilling… but that sour taste from X-Men Origins just keeps popping back up. Maybe viewing The...
In what has become de rigueur in modern action movie trailers, you’ve got to have really loud horns bleating the entire time, just to remind people how cool it was when that happened in Inception, so please come see our movie too, ok? The CinemaCon trailer for The Wolverine is the latest to clip to bludgeon viewer’s ears with...
Big news for fans of the X-Men graphic novels and film franchise—director Bryan Singer, who is currently at work on X-Men: Days of Future Past (the film that will bridge the original film series to the new X-Men: First Class continuity via time travel and alternate timelines), has announced the addition of a few classic X-Men characters...
If you can recall, Bryan Singer’s X-Men and X2 were solid-to-great entries into the pantheon of superhero films. Then, Singer left the franchise to helm the continuation of the Superman franchise (give us the water-logged Superman Returns), leaving Brett Ratner to direct the...
Thus far, the casting for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past has consisted solely of members from both X-Men franchises: the original trilogy’s Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore will be joining forces with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, and...
Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, the highly anticipated sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, is set to bridge the gap between the first three X-Men films and First Class.

In 2014, he'll appear in X-Men Days of Future Past (July 18) as well as Mad Max: Fury Road (TBA). During the Los Angeles press junket for Warm Bodies, the actor briefly spoke about his...
Like them or not, it's been confirmed that a large chunk of the main actors from the first X-Men trilogy will be reprising their roles in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Who's the latest to be locked into the time traveling sequel? It's not that hard to guess if you skim down the list of who has yet to sign on.
2012 has been a banner year for Nerd-dom—in addition to Joss Whedon essentially overtaking the universe with The Avengers, the James Bond franchise scoring one of its best entries, and news that a new Star Wars trilogy was happening, Bryan Singer announced that he was returning to the X-Men film franchise to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past, the...
Despite the fact that it’s a sequel to the prequel film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the fact that it’s being directly adapted from a graphic novel’s prequel storyline, The Wolverine director James Mangold has announced that his upcoming film will not be a sequel after all—rather, it will be very, very distant sequel.
The X-Men are back with their latest edition X-Men: First Class, a prequel to all of the other X-men films showing us the origins of the gang. Rest assured that walking into this film you can spit out the awful taste of Wolverine and be excited take everything First Class has to offer. The quite film obviously has a much stronger script,...
In Gavin Hood's Wolverine film, a number of additional X-Men characters were introduced. The two most high profile were Deadpool (played by Ryan Reynolds) and Gambit (played by Taylor Kitsch). At the time Kitsch was a TV star, while Reynolds was a movie star, albeit mostly in comedies. It seemed odd casting, until right around release rumors circulated that Deadpool...

(voiced by Russell Brand), who is supposed to become the new Easter Bunny, but wants to be a drummer instead. Marsden has had a number of careers, as a TV star, as Cyclops in the hit franchise...

After Wolverine, there was some hope that 20th Century Fox was going to steer their X-Men franchise into better hands when writer/director Matthew Vaughn took the helm for X-Men: First Class. With a cast including Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, January Jones, and academy award nominee Jennifer Lawrence, if...
Earlier today we posted two horrible posters from X-Men First Class. They featured Charles and Erik aka Professor X and Magneto, and they were some of the worst one sheets we've ever seen. We think the folks over at 20th Century Fox picked up on the scathing response of fans and quickly decided to make up for it. Over on the official X-Men Movie Facebook Page, they've...
A new photo has been released from X-Men First Class, and it features two members of the villainous Hellfire Club. The heads of this elite group are Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost, as played by Kevin Bacon and January Jones. This image debuted over on Empire, and it has an interesting tone to say the least. Check out the full photo...
Two posters have been released for X-Men First Class and they highlight the leaders of the team, Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. The characters are portrayed by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender respectively and they look great in the roles. The following posters come courtesy of Film Z, and they pay homage to both the past and future. Check out the images...
After a ridiculously long wait, 20th Century Fox finally released a trailer for X-Men First Class and there was a lot to take in. Even though the franchise has been given a facelift with newer, younger actors, the action is still there and the trouble is still brewing. If the trailer moved a little too fast for you, we've got plenty of screencaps that will give you a...
After a long and tedious wait, 20th Century Fox has released the trailer for their comic adaptation, X-Men: First Class. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn, who was previously hired to helm X-Men: The Last Stand but had to back out for personal reasons. Five years after that travesty, he's making it up to us by tackling the X-Men...
