Jean Grey Gets Her Own ‘The Wolverine’ Poster!

by Derek Kraneveldt

I’d love to frame and mount every single poster for The Wolverine. The incredible sumi-e art style has impressed me since the very first teaser image, and today’s Jean Grey is just as awesome.

It’s unknown just how prominent Famke Janssen’s role in the film will be, but it has been confirmed that she will appear in a flashback sequence. The actress was a great choice for the Jean Grey character, and I can’t wait to see some new scenes with her.

Take a look at the new poster below, and let us know what you think of it! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality. Directed By James Mangold, The Wolverine hits theaters in 2D & 3D on July 26, 2013.

Watch The First TV Spot For ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Fox has just unveiled the first TV spot for The Wolverine. I have to say that I wasn’t overly impressed with the film’s first trailer, but each subsequent preview has proved that this could be one of this Summer’s coolest movies.

We’ve got a little over a month until The Wolverine hits theatres, so I’m sure we’ll see plenty of additional footage before that time comes. Take a look at the spot below, and let us know what you think!

‘Trask’ Confirmed For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

When Peter Dinklage joined the cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past back in February, fans went wild with speculation.

First, many thought Dinklage would portray the classic X-Man, Puck. It was soon revealed however, that he would instead be playing the film’s main antagonist. Speculation immediately shifted to Bolivar Trask, the scientist that would go on to create the infamous Sentinels.

Director Brian Singer recently tweeted a photo all but confirming that Dinklage would portray Trask in the film (just look at that ‘stache). Today, he revealed a new photo that further confirms the rumour. It’s not official until it’s announced of course, but we at least know for sure that Trask Industries will have a role in the film.

Check out Singers just-tweeted photo below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on July 18th, 2014!

 

Hugh Jackman Tells The Hilarious Story Of His ‘Wolverine’ Audition

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s tough to think all the way back to the year 2000 (I was just 10 years old at the time), and it’s even harder to think that Hugh Jackman was ever not one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Just over a decade ago, Jackman played the leading role of Curly in London’s West End adaptation of Oklahoma. It was at this time that he (and everyone else in the world) would audition for the role of Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men. The rest of course, is history.

Watch him tell the hilarious and inspiring story in an interview with SiriusXM below. Jackman’s highly anticipted next film, The Wolverine, opens on July 24th!

Evan Peters Joins ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ As Quicksilver!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Bryan Singer sure loves his twitter.

After posting countless set photos, first looks, and other news, the X-Men: Days of Future Past director has revealed a late casting addition to the project. American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters has joined the film, and will play the ‘swiftest’ mutant around, Quicksilver.

Of course, The Avengers director Joss Whedon recently revealed that Quicksilver (and his sister, Scarlet Witch) would be a part of The Avengers 2. This is bound to cause some confusion among fans, seeing as each project is not only coming from a different team, but a different studio as well. My guess is that we’ll be seeing substantially different versions of Quicksilver between the two films.

Check out Singer’s tweet below, and let us know what you think of the news! X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on July 17th, 2014!

Watch A New Trailer For ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

This is a damn cool preview.

We’re barely two months away from the theatrical release of James Mangold’s The Wolverine, and Fox has just released a new trailer for the film. The video features plenty of new footage, and if you’re not sold on the movie yet, this trailer may just turn you around.

The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th, and stars Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Brian Tee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rila Fukushima, and plenty more! Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know what you think!

First Image Of Jennifer Lawrence In Costume For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Bryan Singer is on a roll. Just yesterday he gave us our first look at Peter Dinklage preparing for work on X-Men: Days of Future Past, and today it’s Jennifer Lawrence’s turn. The director has tweeted an image of Lawrence in full Mystique costume, and as always, she’s looking pretty bad-ass. The image is titled “First look: #JenniferLawrence as a vengeful #Mystique”, so it’s probably safe to speculate that she’s pretty unhappy about what happened with Xavier. I guess we’ll find out next Summer.

First Look At Peter Dinklage Working On ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Back in February it was revealed that Peter Dinklage had joined the cast of Bryan Singer’s anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past. Early rumours and speculation led many to believe that Dinklage would portray Puck, but it was quickly announced that he would be playing the film’s main antagonist.

Bryan Singer today tweeted an image of himself and Dinklage with the caption “Reviewing tomorrow’s work on the flight back to Montreal with #PeterDinklage”. Dinklage isn’t in costume, but it’s easy to see that he’ll be sporting quite the ‘stache. Take a look at the image below, and let us know who you think he’s playing!

Quicksilver & The Scarlet Witch Confirmed To Be Joining The Team In ‘The Avengers’ Sequel

by Shawn Madden

Remember last week when Joss Whedon hinted at two new characters (“a brother/sister act”) that would be appearing in the upcoming sequel to The Avengers? Well, Entertainment Weekly report that their upcoming issue will feature an extensive look at Marvel Studios upcoming “Phase Two” films as well as going on to confirm what many had earlier speculated:

Ultimate Comics X-Men 7

“Some online rumors turn out to be true, however. A source confirms to EW that the twin characters Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be joining The Avengers 2, which Whedon hinted at recently when he said he was writing a brother-sister duo into the movie. Feige maintains a poker face on that scoop, saying only: “I’m not confirming or denying. The draft could change six months from now.”

The rights to these two characters were revealed awhile back to be up to whichever studio used theme first between Marvel and Fox and it appears Marvel got to them first. Will they be mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or have the origins of their powers altered a bit for the film universe? We’re going to have to wait and find out but this is definitely very exciting news.

While speaking with Collider to promote the upcoming season of AMC’s Mad Men, actress January Jones has confirmed that she will be in the group that will not returning for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past. So, that currently means that neither Azazel nor Emma Frost will be at Magneto’s side in the upcoming “inbetweequel”. There’s no word at the moment if we will see Zoe Kravitz or Alex Gonzalez return as Angel and Riptide, but at the moment it seems that Mystique will be Erik’s only returning companion. Could this mean we will be seeing an all-new Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants in the film?
