With the success of the foul-mouthed Deadpool, many (including Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn) have wondered if Hollywood would learn the wrong lesson from the film and start green-lighting R-rated superhero movies left and right because it’s the trendy new thing to do. But it sounds like Disney CEO Bob Iger isn’t going to be influenced by the hottest, latest thing — he’s perfectly content with the way things are going at Marvel Studios right now. Continue reading
‘The Wolverine’ Sequel Could Reunite Hugh Jackman With Liev Schreiber’s Sabretooth
With Deadpool, Fox successfully (like, really successfully — record-breaking-successfully) rebooted a character who had previously been horrifically adapted in another, lesser film, and they did so without recasting the role.

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
