We’ve been doing a lot of talking about the possible implications if/when the Disney purchase of FOX goes through, primarily about the fate of the Fox-owned Marvel X-Men franchise. There was a story earlier this week, a rumor, that Dark Phoenix and New Mutants (if it ever sees the light of day) will be the last two Marvel […]

If/when the Disney acquisition of FOX goes through, it’ll mean some pretty big Marvel implications and additions to the already well-established Marvel Cinematic Universe. Perhaps one of the biggest would be the folding in of the X-Men property, which FOX has held onto for 20 years. James McAvoy, who has played X-Men founder/team leader Professor Charles […]

Dark Phoenix could, potentially, be the very last Fox-owned X-Men film we get. With the looming possibility of what the Disney/Fox merger could mean for the Marvel properties Fox holds, this is something many fans of the franchise have in the back of their minds. This will also probably be the last time we see the […]

2018 is drawing to a close, and that means some interesting changes are [possibly] on the way for Marvel Studios due to the looming Disney / FOX merger. We’re still waiting to find out when the deal will officially be done, it could be any time. There hasn’t really been any movement- at least publicly […]

Before you get all up in our comments about “ITS A MOVIE, IT’S A PROMO IMAGE, IT’S NOT DONE YET” yadda yadda- we know.  That said though, doesn’t the lighting on Kodi Smit-McPhee in this new Dark Phoenix image look…no so great? Like he was added as an afterthought? True, this isn’t the greatest image we’ve gotten from […]

Despite some hiccups on the journey to the big screen, director Simon Kinberg feels his upcoming directorial debut Dark Phoenix will do something special with the X-Men franchise at FOX- setting yet another tone. In a recent interview during Brazil Comic Con (CCXP), Kinberg spoke about the history of the X-Men film franchise at FOX, how it’s evolved over […]

Although we still believe that William Fitchner was the PERFECT choice to play X-Men baddie Mr. Sinister in a live-action film, we will admit that it would be pretty fascinating to see what Bryan Cranston would do with the character of Nathaniel Essex. This apparently is still on the multi-Emmy winner’s mind too, as he […]

Simon Kinberg as a lot on his plate right now, more than normal for the X-Men producer who by this time next year will have had his directorial debut released with Dark Phoenix. That doesn’t mean he’s not focused on additional properties upcoming within the X-Men franchise, however. Namely, the status of the much maligned Gambit solo film […]

It would appear that the second date pushback for 20th Century Fox’s Dark Phoenix isn’t cause for panic, so says first-time director Simon Kinberg. He very calmly and purposely explained to our friends over at Collider how the second release date (remember originally this film was set to open in November of 2018, when it still had […]

The 20th Century FOX presentation at CinemaCon 2018 has come and gone, dropping some mutant bombshells and showing the audience the brand-new Dark Phoenix logo. We’re waiting for an official art release, but you can see a grainy photo here. Most notably, it looks like the X-Men: Apocalypse followup has dropped the “X-Men” from the title, which […]
