This oversized one-shot, written by former X-Men Legacy writer, Christos Gage, and drawn by former Uncanny X-Men artist, Greg Land (with a cover by former Wolverine artist, Ryan Stegman), will be setting up major stories to come, as one of these five X-Men won't make it back to their time by the end of this story, and what they will do trapped in their future will obviously be explored in future stories.

Five Nights at Freddy’s director Emma Tammi praises Josh Hutcherson’s leading performance as Mike Schmidt in the upcoming Blumhouse movie. Five Nights at Freddy’s director Emma Tammi opened up about Josh Hutcherson’s casting in the upcoming supernatural thriller movie. In an interview with EW, Tammi shared that The Hunger Games vet had already been an early favorite during the early stages of the “intensive” casting process for the lead role in Blumhouse’s long-awaited film adaptation of the hit horror video game. "We went through an intensive process for this role, because he really anchors the whole film," she recalled. "I talked to Josh early on, and we just kept coming back to him.” The role of the security night guard ultimately went to Hutcherson, who Tammi praised for having "such a grasp for the character and gave Mike a real lived-in feeling, which was what the character needed. I'm excited for people to see Josh in a slightly new light." Tammi dir

Fans and critics have shared opinions of the Underworld franchise, and Rotten Tomatoes is no exception. The Underworld series is made up of action-horror films revolving around the ongoing war between vampires and werewolves, each trying to destroy the other. Amidst this conflict, the love story between Selene, a powerful vampire, and Michael, a hybrid being, is a recurring theme. Throughout the series, figures on both sides prove to have hidden agendas. At times, it's hard to tell who is an ally and who is an enemy. One group may be on the brink of extinction, but this might just be what they want the enemies to think. Eventually, even humans learn of the secret war. The Underworld franchise, made up of at least five films and an animated short, has an interesting history. There have even been planned canceled crossovers with I, Frankenstein, Blade, and Resident Evil. Thanks to its fan base, an Underworld reboot had also been planned for the small screen. This is in addition to th

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown takes the leap into the world of superheroes as Supergirl for the new DCU in new fan art. Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown embraces Supergirl's powers and joins James Gunn's DCU in stunning new fan art. The hit series created by the Duffer brothers is one of Netflix's top priorities now that the writers' strike is over, meaning fans won't have to wait much longer to witness the end of Stranger Things. And it also means that, very soon, Millie Bobby Brown will be ready to leave Eleven behind and focus on other projects. The young actress has achieved a lot of popularity thanks to her character in the show, as well as her leading roles in Enola Holmes and Godzilla, so many fans are waiting to see what next big project she will take on once Stranger Things comes to an end in its fifth season. And there's no doubt that the superhero movies would be a good opportunity to maintain that popularity, in addition to breaking

The creator credits for Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have been omitted from the opening title card ahead of the Season 7 premiere. Adult Swim released the new opening sequence for Rick and Morty Season 7 without the "created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon" credit seen in the previous six installments. The change comes after Adult Swim officially severed ties with Rick and Morty co-creator Roiland following allegations and charges of domestic abuse. While Roiland and Harmon's names have been removed from the title card, it doesn't mean they won't receive any credit at all. A similar approach was taken when Solar Opposites Season 4 was released. The title card no longer displayed Roiland and Mike McMahan's creator credits, but the duo was still credited within each episode. Although the domestic abuse charges against Roiland were dropped, a new report alleges that the Rick and Morty creator used his fame to pursue young fans. Eleven unnamed women and nonbinar

Critics of Star Trek: Picard say the show focused too heavily on the Borg, but The Complete Series home release highlights why each story was crucial. The triumphant final season of Star Trek: Picard is finally available for fans to own on DVD or Blu-ray, but The Complete Series feels more "complete" than the disparate stories may suggest. Each season was a unique narrative and visual experience more akin to a movie series than a television show. While the journey Jean-Luc Picard takes is the obvious focus of the show, watching the complete series highlights why each season needed to include the Borg. Beyond being Picard's greatest enemy, it tells an important story about how Gene Roddenberry's ideal future dealt with the aftermath of such a destructive force. In the first season, the Borg are mostly a memory thanks to the events of the series finale of Star Trek: Voyager. The return of Seven of Nine, as well as another ex-Borg named Hugh from The Next Generation, hig

When asked if there were any other actors he'd always wanted to work with but hadn't yet, Anderson also mentioned that Cera was cast in the film alongs

A veteran member of the X-Men has such impressive adaptability and skill with his powers that he could easily qualify as an Omega-Level Mutant. The X-Men are some of Marvel's most powerful characters, counting genuine world breakers among their number. The right collection of powerful mutants could destroy or remake entire planets on their own within a matter of hours. Omega-Level Mutants are considered the most powerful mutants. Even though he isn't currently counted among their number, Bishop's potential, as showcased in Children of the Vault #2 (by Deniz Camp, Luca Maresca, Carlos Lopez, and VC's Cory Petit), highlights why he might just be as adaptable and powerful. With the ability to absorb any energy and rechannel it in a variety of different ways, Bishop makes a solid case for being one of the X-Men's most powerful members. Omega-Level Mutants, Explained Omega-Level Mutants is the classification for Marvel's most powerful mutant characters. These are peo

According to reports, House of the Dragon's upcoming Season 2 may have gotten an accurate title for Episode 1. At this point last year, the world had already witnessed the first half of the inaugural season of HBO's highly acclaimed fantasy drama, House of the Dragon. However, as of now, the much anticipated second season of the Game of Thrones prequel is nowhere near its premiere, or even the marketing. Featuring a stellar cast including Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Olivia Cooke, the upcoming season, which will consist of only eight episodes, is nearing its final stages of production at Leavesden Studios, which is set to conclude filming by the end of September. The first season ended on a high note as Prince Aemond's dragon, Vhagar, killed Rhaenyra Targaryen and Ser Laenor Velaryon's son, Prince Lucerys "Luke" Velaryon. As per reports, fans can now catch a glimpse of what's in store, as recent reports reveal the season premiere's plot line. Titled &q

Tim Burton, who serves as an executive producer on Netflix's Wednesday, gushes about the comedy horror show's star Jenna Ortega. Wednesday Season 2 is still a long way away, but director Tim Burton is ready to dive into the past and share some of his fondest memories about Jenna Ortega, the aspiring star of the series. Netflix's Wednesday has been a phenomenal hit ever since last year's release of Season 1, and Ortega herself has received worldwide recognition after scoring the legendary part of Wednesday Addams, taking over from Christina Ricci. In an interview with BFI, Burton, who directed four episodes of Season 1 and is an executive producer on the show, opened up about working with Ortega and her take on the iconic character.

He even said that Ortega had "a special place" in his heart because she was a horror movie pro -- a genre which Burton himself holds near and dear. &

Sylvester Stallone addressed the possibility of starring in another Rambo movie, and it doesn't seem likely. John Rambo's days of combat are likely behind him, as Sylvester Stallone recognizes that he's getting too old to convincingly play the action-heavy role. In years past, Rambo has served as one of pop culture's most popular characters, going back to the release of the original film, First Blood, in 1982. Stallone would return as the enemy soldier slayer 1985's Rambo: First Blood Part II and 1988's Rambo III. The character has since made two unexpected returns, with Rambo releasing in 2008 followed by Rambo: Last Blood in 2019. Having slayed his way through five feature films, some fans may be wondering what the odds are of seeing Rambo return once again for a potential Rambo 6. Per JoBlo, Stallone recently appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival to help promote the release of his new documentary Sly. While fielding questions, the action movie l

The conclusion of Mortal Kombat 1 is a mind-bending one that teases big changes and totally new narratives for the popular fighting game franchise. It's safe to say fans were eagerly awaiting Mortal Kombat 1 and how this new world would be shaped after the Midway era and early NetherRealm timelines. Well, make no mistake it's drastically different as Ed Boon and the creative team take a comic book movie approach. It has that superhero energy of stories of Flashpoint and such, with MK entering the multiverse. It turns out, Liu Kang, as the Fire God, thought he crafted one timeline. But little did he know, as he gave up being the Keeper of Time, many timelines existed to create in what's effectively the Mortal Kombat-Verse.

In the latest Comic Book Legends Revealed, see how close Bernie Wrightson came to becoming the original artist on Conan the Barbarian Welcome to the 910th installment of Comic Book Legends Revealed, a column where we examine three comic book myths, rumors and legends and confirm or debunk them. This time, in our second legend, we look into whether Bernie Wrightson had a real chance to become the original artist on Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series. The late, great Bernie Wrightson (number #33 in our recent fan voting of the greatest comic book artists of all-time) grew up as a fan of EC Comics' horror comics, as reprinted in the early 1960s, but one of the greatest earliest influences that Wrightson had was artist Frank Frazetta. In a 1982 interview in the Comics Journal with Gary Groth, Wrightson explained: GROTH: Did you study certain other artists, or was it just practice, practice, practice? WRIGHTSON: Oh, yeah, I think any other artist I ever looked at I studied to one e

During the discussion, Farmiga disclosed why she calls The Nun one of the best experiences in her career. "I love The Nun," the actor stated. "I mean, I loved that whole experience. I think it's one of the performances that when I first watched it, I was so genuinely happy with the work that I did, and I saw all my prep work and I saw all of it go into my performance.

Aquaman 2 gives Black Manta a powerful new weapon, and the upgrade may be best on some of the King of Atlantis' comics from the New 52 reboot. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is Aquaman's next cinematic adventure, with Jason Momoa's take on Arthur Curry forced to defend his new underwater kingdom against an old enemy. It's also the last entry in the DC Extended Universe, which was somewhat known for its divergences from the comic books. Despite these changes to the source material, it seems that the next Aquaman is going all in on one of the hero's best comic books runs ever. Geoff Johns' run on Aquaman revolutionized the character, putting him back in the limelight and giving him the mainstream success needed to do away with his laughable reputation from beforehand. It heavily informed the first DCEU movie focused on the King of Atlantis, and that's seemingly going to be the case again. This can notably be seen in the movie's teasers, which showcase a fami

Tokusatsu is usually reserved for live-action and not anime, though that may change with two popular manga, one of which is getting an anime. Anime is one of Japan's biggest cultural exports, but it's not the only form of media that the country is known for. Though some aren't as aware of the actual term, "tokusatsu" has also left Japan and gone to other countries in other forms. Known for brightly colored heroes and monsters of varying sizes, this genre showcases the Japanese take on superheroes. Strangely enough, however, it's not very common to see tokusatsu anime. That may finally change with two manga franchises, one of which is soon to receive an anime adaptation. Incorporating elements of current trends in both superhero fiction and anime/manga, Go! Go! Loser Ranger and The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World are some of the most blatant takes on animated tokusatsu in modern times. Given how successful one in particular has become, it may
