The upcoming Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the year’s most anticipated films. It is not only a final sendoff to the Fox-era X-Men film franchise but also introduces the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
When it was revealed that Hugh Jackman would be Wolverine once more and that he would finally be wearing the iconic yellow suit from the comics, fans went ecstatic. However, it didn’t include his mask. However, a VFX artist called Captainsting on YouTube edited footage of the most recent trailer for the film, giving the character his mask.
Captainsting stated in the description:
“So the recent Deadpool & Wolverine trailer was absolutely mind blowing. It revealed just enough stuff without giving away anything major. But the thing that was missing from the trailer was Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine wearing his iconic mask/cowl. So took the matter in my own...

Back in 2009, James Dashner released The Maze Runner, the first of what was to become a series of novels consisting of a main trilogy, two prequel novels, and a planned sequel trilogy, as well as a companion volume. The story is a dystopian narrative that focuses on a group of children who have to survive the Maze, but ultimately discover that the world they are in is in ruins and that there is a dark secret behind everything. The series was picked up for a live-action adaptation in 2011, and the first movie was released in 2014. Two additional movies were released, with The Death Cure ending the trilogy in 2018.
But, while it’s been just six years since the final movie of the original trilogy, The Hollywood Reporter revealed an exclusive scoop that 20th Century Studios is working on a reboot of The Maze Runner film series, although details are still very scarce.

Have you ever wondered what might happen if the DNA of two of the most vigorous characters in the Marvel Universe came together? Although Wolverine is widely recognized for being a recluse, nomad, and man who would be better off without romance, Logan’s numerous offsprings demonstrate that his lethal abilities are too great to be limited to a single generation.
Although many X-Men fans still have a soft spot for the original films, one of the main criticisms leveled is that they seemed to focus more on the two lead actors in each series than on the actual X-Men. The earlier flicks functioned more as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, while the later ones functioned more as Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that while fans genuinely adore these two characters off-screen, the same cannot be said for their son.

The "X-Men" film franchise was one of the superhero genre's first bonafide success stories. After debuting in 2000 to decent reviews and solid gold box office, Marvel's mutants added a new level of legitimacy to comic book adaptations on film and provided a runway for other characters to make it to the silver screen. It's a shame, then, that a franchise once emblematic of its genre's greatest potential has since succumbed to its worst qualities: overcomplicated canon, problematic players behind the scenes (his name rhymes with Shmyan Shminger), and corporate interests milking spin-offs for all they could be worth, even as the udders run dry. If it weren't for the Disney-Fox merger and Marvel Studios' plan for mutant integration into the MCU, the "X-Men" franchise would be as close to dead-in-the-water as you can be.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ stands out as the highly anticipated Marvel cinematic release of the summer, and it’s the only one on the horizon. This film holds significance for several reasons. Firstly, it marks Deadpool’s introduction to the MCU. Secondly, it aims to rebuild confidence in the studio. Lastly, it promises to feature many characters from Fox’s original X-Men franchise.
However, the original plans for ‘Deadpool 3’ differed, and initially, Hugh Jackman didn’t intend to join the Merc with a Mouth in his latest escapade.
In an interview with Empire, Hugh Jackman shared that Feige advised him against reprising his role in the franchise because of how ‘Logan’ concluded, with the character exiting on a high note.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the most anticipated and the only Marvel cinematic release this summer. The movie is special due to plenty of things.

But the plans for the original ‘Deadpool 3’ were different initially, and Hugh Jackman didn’t always plan to join the Merc with the Mouth in his latest adventure.
Hugh Jackman revealed in his interview with Empire, that he was discouraged from returning to the franchise by Fiege himself due to the way ‘Logan’ ended and the character departing on a high note.

Golden Globe-winning actress Ali Wong’s recent makeup session didn’t go as planned. The actress poked a little fun at her latest makeup look in a new Instagram video.
The actress shared a selfie clip, filmed backstage before the opening night of her Los Angeles residency at The Wiltern. Wong said that her glam wasn’t quite what she expected, reports People magazine.
“I do my own makeup to save time and money,” she explained in the clip. “I forgot my eyebrow pencil, so I had to make do with this kinda reddish-brown eyeliner that I applied to my eyebrows.”
While talking to the camera, Wong leaned her face closer to show off her brows, which are a different colour from her dark hair.

It is rumored that the film will feature many prominent characters from the earlier Marvel movies as cameos which will induce cheers in the theatres.

Hugh Jackman has done wonders for the big screens, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon despite nearing his late fifties. Besides fulfilling millions of fans’ wishes by returning as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, he seems to have another action project lined up, though this time, it is reportedly with Jodie Comer and filmmaker Michael Sarnoski.

This project is none other than The Death of Robin Hood. And yes, after his dear friend Russell Crowe left behind the mantle following the mixed reviews his 2010 movie on Hood received, Jackman is seemingly picking it back up for his version of Hood. That said, he might as well end up righting the wrongs of the 2010 film with a Logan-like movie on the legendary outlaw hero.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are finally reuniting for a definitive two-hander film playing their iconic Marvel characters in Deadpool & Wolverine. Being the only MCU release of the year, all hopes are pinned on the film to deliver an exhilarating Marvel movie that brings back the franchise’s glory. The film is also taking a big swing as the film is their first R-rated film.

Game of Thrones fans obsessively watched the series to see who would end up on the Iron Throne. The conclusion to years of scheming and fighting was a controversial one to say the least.
However, we’re got a different question about the series to answer: Which star from the cast is the wealthiest with the highest estimated net worth?
HBO’s fantasy series is the sort of industry dominating, pop culture titan that comes around every so often and totally changes the game. And while the characters battled it out on the screen, the show made its stars rich in real life.
The show brought the world of Westeros to life straight from the pages of George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire novels and became a breakaway hit that fans are still talking about many years after the grand finale.

Hugh Jackman has become synonymous with Wolverine after playing the character for so many years. But initially, it took some work for Jackman to nail the character’s rough edges because of his inherent kindness.

Why ruin a good thing? That was the question facing Hugh Jackman when asked to be a part of the third Deadpool movie after achieving a satisfying farewell in 2017’s Logan.
Even Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige wasn’t sure a Wolverine comeback was the right move.
“I said, ‘Let me give you a piece of advice, Hugh. Don’t come back’,” Feige recalls in an interview with Empire. Feige said Jackman “had the greatest ending in history with Logan. That’s not something we should undo.”
The 2017 film was a perfect swan song for Jackman’s Wolverine, a conclusion that satisfied Jackman and fans.
In the same Empire piece, Jackman said he went on a long drive to clear his head and think about the project. “I drove for another hour. Couldn’t stop thinking about it. And I got out of the car, called Ryan (Reynolds), and said,...

It’s been nearly twenty-five years since Hugh Jackman strapped on the adamantium claws for the very first X-Men movie back in 2000. He went on to play Wolverine in eight different movies, but to the disappointment of fans, he has never worn the character’s distinctive costume from the comics… until now.
At long last, Hugh Jackman will finally wear a comic-accurate costume in Deadpool & Wolverine, and the actor told Empire that he can’t believe they’ve never done it before. “We almost did it in The Wolverine,” Jackman said. “But from the moment I put it on here, I was like, ‘How did we never do this?’ It looked so right, it felt so right. I was like, ‘That’s him.’ There are different sides of Wolverine we haven’t seen before in the movies. It was exciting for me.“

X-Men: The Animated Series has a devoted fanbase, but it's not exactly considered a classic on the same level as, say, Batman: The Animated Series.
Regardless, we all had high expectations heading into X-Men '97 and the Marvel Animation series has absolutely smashed them. Perhaps the best take on these heroes we've ever seen grace the screen, Marvel Studios will have its work cut out when it comes to topping the show with its eventual live-action X-Men reboot.
In this feature, we're exploring what's worked so well in X-Men '97 and how that can translate to theaters. In other words, these are the lessons the next X-Men movie needs to learn from the revival, especially after 20th Century Fox's hit-and-miss (mostly miss) efforts.

Hugh Jackman is giving Robin Hood the “Logan” treatment.
Jackman, who is best known for playing Wolverine in the “X-Men” film series, has signed on to star in “The Death of Robin Hood” alongside Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve”) and rising writer-director Michael Sarnoski, Deadline reports.
The film is described as “a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set in its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battle-worn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman who offers him a chance at salvation.”
“It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood,” Sarnoski said in a statement to Deadline. “Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting...

Brian Cox is an iconic actor known for portraying the role of Logan Roy in the iconic HBO show Succession. Starring in one of the major roles, Cox portrayed the role for 6 years before the series ended in 2023.
With the actor portraying the role of William Stryker in the 2003 film X2, Cox revealed that he didn’t mind when Danny Huston took over the role for him. It seems that the actor, however, had a problem when the question about why he wasn’t selected again stuck with him.

With the actor portraying the role of William Stryker in the 2003 film X2, Cox revealed that he didn’t mind when Danny Huston took over the role for him. It seems that the actor, however, had a problem when the question about why he wasn’t selected again stuck with him.

Six years after "Deadpool 2" became a huge hit (technically Brad Pitt's biggest movie), we're finally getting a third entry in the wildly popular superhero franchise. This time, Ryan Reynolds is suiting up again as the Merc with a Mouth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a wild, R-rated trip through the multiverse. Not only that, he's also called upon Hugh Jackman to put on the claws once more, with the actor suiting up as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's "Logan." The resulting film is director Shawn Levy's "Deadpool & Wolverine," which figures to be one of the biggest movies of the summer. However, arriving at the story at the center of this superhero blockbuster was no small task, as it turns out.
In a new interview with Empire, it's explained that Reynolds first pitched a "'Rashomon' story about Wolverine and Deadpool and something that they got into together,...

Had Disney not acquired 20th Century Fox, it's likely we'd have already sat down in theaters to watch Deadpool 3 by now. Very little has been revealed about what the original version of the movie was, though we've heard Ryan Reynolds always wanted Hugh Jackman to return.
With Marvel Studios calling the shots, the Merc with the Mouth will now take centre stage in an epic Multiversal blockbuster. And yes, Wolverine will be by his side (this time in a comic-accurate costume).
Talking to Empire Online, Reynolds reveals that he originally pictured Deadpool 3 as a "Rashomon story about Wolverine and Deadpool and something that they got into together, but told from three completely different perspectives." He'd add, "It was a way to make a large-scale movie in a very small way."
We'd assume those perspectives were Deadpool, Wolverine, and a third mystery character, but when Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige heard the pitch.

Hugh Jackman makes his anticipated return as Wolverine this summer, but while he is excitingly reprising a beloved role, many agree he also perfectly capped off the popular mutant’s journey in the future-set X-Men sequel, Logan. Logan told the story of a popular anti-hero aging into his older years as he became a more broken-down version of himself. Jackman may not be veering too far off from that theme as he is now set to star in a darker incarnation of the story of literary folk hero Robin Hood.
According to Deadline, Jackman and Jodie Comer are set to star in The Death of Robin Hood. Michael Sarnoski, who directed Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, will be penning and directing the retelling with Arrival and The Prestige producer Aaron Ryder on board to produce the film. Per Deadline, “The film is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale.

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is poised to be one of the biggest movies of the year thanks to the pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, who is returning to his iconic X-Men role for the first time in seven years. Jackman’s return is skyrocketing buzz around the comic book film, which is much needed for Marvel Studios after a rocky 2023 that saw movies such as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels” flop at the box office. It might come as a surprise, but Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed to Empire that he originally warned Jackman against playing Wolverine again.
“I said, ‘Let me give you a piece of advice, Hugh. Don’t come back,’” Feige said. “‘You had the greatest ending in history with ‘Logan.’ That’s not something we should undo.’”
What ultimately got Feige on board with the idea of Jackman coming back was...

"Magneto was right..."
Former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo has taken to social media to share a "homework assignment" for fans that may want a better idea of what to expect from the middle chapter in the three-part season finale, which airs on Disney+ next Wednesday.
DeMayo posted the cover to 1993's Uncanny X-Men #304, which marked the 30th anniversary celebration of the iconic mutant heroes, and the third chapter in the "Fatal Attractions" storyline.

Though a few significant events occur in this issue that could inform the episode, we'd say it will most likely draw influence from Magneto's arc.

For a while there, Deadpool’s future looked uncertain. Despite his two mega-smash movies under 20th Century Fox, the Disney-Fox takeover brought up all kinds of questions about what would happen next. Was there a place for him in Kevin Feige’s MCU? Could he still be deeply R-rated under the ownership of Disney? How would he fit with plans to bring mutants into the world that Iron Man built? Thankfully, the answer became clear: Deadpool does whatever Deadpool wants. And so, we have his impending MCU arrival in Deadpool & Wolverine, teaming Ryan Reynolds’ motormouthed Wade Wilson up with Hugh Jackman’s gruff Logan for a Marvel movie like you’ve never seen before.

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.

As we explore the emotional landscapes of Avengers: Endgame and Logan, we become entangled in a web of raw emotion and cinematic gravitas. Who can forget the sight of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine—a character who has sliced his way through hardships since before some of us took our first steps—finally succumbing to mortality in Logan (2017)?
And yet, how can we ignore Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) sheer heroic brilliance in finding peace in a sacrificial climax in Avengers: Endgame that touched the hearts of millions? Pepper’s gentle words to Tony signaled not only the end of his character’s arc but also an era.
However, this does not imply that Wolverine’s death will be blanked out by Stark’s sacrifice, as the former takes the top spot in our soul as the most heartbreaking superhero death.

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:
"I said, 'Let me give you a piece of advice,...

In March 2019, Marvel Studios regained the film rights to X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool after Disney acquired Fox for $71.3 billion.

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.

These characters are planned to be integrated into the MCU. In October 2020, the ‘X-Men’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ films were rebranded as “Marvel Legacy films” on Disney+. Notably, Patrick Stewart already 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, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, respectively, into the MCU continuity. Now it’s quite obvious that we are getting closer to the reboot as months pass, so we decided to cover everything we know about.

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.
Here’s a breakdown of all the cameos in the star-studded episode...

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.
Legion Became One of the Most Unusual Superhero Shows

‘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.
