In the Mutant Universe, there is a clearly defined scale accounting for the power level of the various superheroes, villains, robots, mutants and aliens that bum around, because of course there is. We geeks need something tangible to hang our terrible arguments about “who would win in a fight” on, which is exactly what this scale does. At the lower end of the spectrum you have the everyday shmoes – the comic book equivalent of us civilians – and at the very top of the scale is where you’ll find the so-called “Omega level” superpeople.
They are characters who were born with the X-gene and have had an almost limitless amount of power at their fingertips as soon as they left the womb (or even before, in some cases). So with that said lets start off our list! See if any of our top 10 hit your list! Continue reading
SNIKT!!!
Every X-Men fan knows what that means. Joining our growing Marvel Sixth Scale figure collection, is the Sideshow Collectibles mutant hero, Wolverine!
Ok, so while he may not actually be laced with adamantium, Logan is more than ready to let the claws come out. Meticulously crafted on an all-new muscular body design with two pairs of beefy arms, multiple swap-out hands, and a full range of articulation. Fitted in a fantastically tailored tactical version of his classic brown and tan costume, ol’ Canucklehead comes with both masked and unmasked head sculpts, each channeling his unbridled berserker rage. To further honor his impressive legacy, we’ve also included the legendary Muramasa blade, a key weapon from Wolverine mythos. Continue reading
Hugh Jackman is preparing to play Logan one last time in his third standalone Wolverine movie. After that, we have no idea what to expect from 20th Century Fox when it comes to the character. There’s no way that the studio is going to give up on this cash cow, and we’re all expecting them to cast someone else in the role.
During an interview with MTV, Jackman is asked who he would like to see take over the role. After saying that a younger actor will most likely take over for him, he drops the name of Tom Hardy as a good fit for the role. That’s a suggestion that’s not hard to argue with. Hardy would make a freakin’ badass Wolverine! Continue reading
Hugh Jackman appropriately kicked off the X-Men portion of Fox’s Marvel panel, confirming (again) that the next Wolverine movie will be his last, and seemingly revealing that the James Mangold helmed release is going to be based on Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s Old Man Logan…
“I’ve got three words for you guys: Old Man Logan,” Hugh Jackman told the packed out Hall H panel for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming Marvel slate last night. Does that mean his third and final Wolverine movie is going to adapt that critically acclaimed comic book story? Maybe! Some major alterations will need to be made, but it does sound like the plan is to head in that direction.
The actor followed that comment up by saying, “As I promised, this next time is my last time putting on the claws, it’s one last time,” as the image you see below appeared behind him (it seems to be a promotional shot from a previous movie starring the character rather than a teaser image specifically shot for The Wolverine sequel).
I can tell you I am excited about this news. Are you? What are you hoping to see in the movie?
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.
In our next “Versus” round up, we have two various claw popping bad asses! Wolverine Vs. Predator! Who would win this bloody death match? Just because it bleeds, doesn’t mean you can kill it! So read on, and think hard true believers; this one is going to be a long drawn out match! We will let you decide. Here is a little something about each character: Continue reading
Hugh Jackman’s time as Wolverine may be coming to an end.
The actor, who has portrayed the “X-Men” character since the beginning of the franchise in 2000, hinted on Instagram on Saturday that he may be doing that just one more time.
Cinemablend reported rumors earlier this week that Wolverine will indeed make an appearance in the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse.” Could this be the appearance Jackman is talking about? Without Jackman as Wolverine, will the franchise crumble to pieces? We’d guess probably not, but one should never underestimate the Power of Jackman.
Despite previously indicating that his time as Weapon X could come to an end, Hugh Jackman says in a new interview he’d like to keep playing the character of Wolverine until he dies. Jackman tells Cigar Aficionado (via E! Online) that watching Michael Keaton in Birdman stirred something inside him. Continue reading
It’s not exactly a surprise given what we know so far about Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, but Patrick Stewart confirmed today that neither he nor Ian McKellen would be reprising their respective roles as Charles Xavier or Erik Lehnsherr in the forthcoming mutant ensemble.
“I was learning quite a lot more about it last night,” Stewart tells Larry King (via Yahoo! Movies), hinting that he’s still maintaining a close connection to the franchise. “It is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don’t think we’ll be making an appearance.”
Confirmed to star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac and Nicholas Hoult (with more names expected to be confirmed shortly), X-Men: Apocalypse is scripted by Simon Kinberg, Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris. Said to be the conclusion of a trilogy started with X-Men: First Class and continued with X-Men: Days of Future Past, cameras will start rolling on the next adventure in Montreal beginning April, 2015 for a May 27, 2016 release.
It was also recently reported that the new film is looking to cast younger versions of Jean Grey (Phoenix), Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Ororo Monroe (Storm).
I know i would love to see the old cast again! they made a great addition to the last film! what are your thoughts
