Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Set to Appear in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
We’ve heard rumors about Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine in X-Men: Apocalypse, but the actor has given no indication that he will actually be in the movie. Now, thanks to a custom leather goods company named Kika NY, we’ve learned that Wolverine will in fact be in the film. They revealed some sketches for a special duffle backpack that they were commissioned to make for Jackman, and said,
We were just asked to make a special duffle backpack for Hugh Jackman who is filming the new X MEN movie in Montreal. We started sketching – The bag will be ready next week- we will keep you posted!
There’s no information on how big of a part he will play in the story. It makes sense that he would appear in film, especially after that ending for X-Men: Days of Future Past. It left his fate completely up in the air. I assume they will just continue that plot line for his character. In the comics, Apocalypse transforms powerful mutants into his Four Horsemen that include War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. At one point, he turned Wolverine into Death. Who knows if they’ll take the story in that direction. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Top 10 movie Comedies
The funniest movies tend to burrow into our brains like no other form of popular entertainment. Through repeated viewings and earworm quotes, they create unconscious templates for life’s milestones and stopovers — dating, road trips, the college experience, marriage, the working world — and remind us of moments in time as well as entire eras. They’re comfort food and therapy, high art and cultural critique, nestled lovingly amid fart jokes and crotch punches.
The best comedy movies also enjoy a freedom that seems out of place in most other media, with run-times that allow them to develop complicated but self-contained worlds, the full buffet of acting, editing, and musical options, and the (frequent) R ratings that give them the appropriate range of artistic motion. “Comedy is subjective,” we’re constantly told. Maybe, but if something stays funny for decades it’s clearly reaching across cultures and contexts to tweak our collective nipples for a reason.
Here are our picks for the best of the best. for this top 10 list! Continue reading
Disney Starting Development on MALEFICENT 2
According to Deadline, Disney has started developing a sequel to their 2014 Angelina Jolie fantasy film Maleficent. The studio has already hired screenwriter Linda Wolverton (writer of the first film) to write it, and it will obviously once again focus on the title character. The studio is hoping that Jolie will return to reprise her role, and they are keeping her in the loop in the writing process. There’s no guarantee that Jolie will return, but it would be kind of weird to follow through with the sequel if she doesn’t.
