Sophie Turner Talks Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse
The upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse is aiming to be both a closing chapter and a new start for the classic Marvel characters on the big screen. Though planned as the conclusion of the “First Class” trilogy, the film will also introduce younger versions of previously-seen characters and seemingly pave the road for a new batch of “X-Men” movies to follow. One of those new additions is “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, who believes her work on the HBO series led to her getting cast in the film. Continue reading
Comic Writers No Longer Allowed to Create New X-MEN Characters; FANTASTIC FOUR Comics to End Next Year
While Sony Pictures and Marvel might be able to work out a deal to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the bitter rivalry between Marvel and 20th Century Fox continues. Fox owns the screen rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four, and Marvel has retaliated by undermining those properties.

Oscar Isaac: X-Men: Apocalypse Costume Will Have “Robotic Technology”
Oscar Isaac (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) is playing the titular villain in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse. While he is currently doing press to promote his latest film Alex Garland’s Ex-Machina he has fielded a few questions regarding Bryan Singer’s next X-Men film. This time he divulged a few details about his character’s costume.
“It’ll be a mix [of practical and digital],” Isaac tells Yahoo Movies. “I haven’t had a script so I haven’t had a chance to look through the script and see what the exact requirements are, but I think it’ll be a mixture of physical, aided with some robotic technology.”
In the comics, Apocalypse is usually illustrated as a gray-skinned (sometimes flesh-colored) and blue-lipped mutant with a costume that is a mix of organics and powerful celestial technology. His costume is actually part of his body and he can use his immense psionic abilities to manipulate its appearance however he likes.
He also discussed the extensive pre-production work awaiting him in the near future. “After we finish here I’m heading to do a head cast [for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’], which they do often,” Isaac said. “You spend 3-4 hours with them putting plaster all over your head and they get a sense of what your face is like and what shape your head is, so they can start figuring out the costume and the make up and all that stuff, which is pretty fun.”
X-Men: Apocalypse will open in theaters May 27, 2016

DEADPOOL Movie Shoots in March!
Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller are gearing up to finally shoot the long awaited Deadpool movie in March in Vancouver! It’s actually happening! One day we’ll be sitting in a dark theater watching a story about Deadpool unfold before our eyes on the big screen. The news comes from GlobalNews.ca, who reports:
“The movie has booked two months at Vancouver’s North Shore Studios, although it isn’t known if the production will shoot in any other locations around the city.”
This is exciting! Hopefully the film lives up to our expectations. Even though the movie will end up being PG-13, I still think that Reynolds and Miller are going to give us the best film they can under the circumstance of being produced by FOX.
The movie also stars T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein, but we don’t know what supporting roles they are playing yet. The movie will be released in February 2016, and I hope the fans come out in droves to make it a huge success.
I personally hope this film is a great success! I love this character for all the character has to give! I would like to see a few films with him and maybe twist into the mcu! I just hope the movie can survive the rated score! what are your thoughts we want to know!
No Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen for X-Men: Apocalypse
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
