It's a well known fact at this stage that 20th Century Fox slashed Deadpool's budget before shooting was set to begin, a decision which led to a couple of major action sequences being scrapped and the disappearance of a few villains. With director Tim Miller forced to save money by any means possible, one eagle eyed fan has now brought to light that the film seems to have borrowed footage from a previous X-Men movie.
X-Men: Apocalypse finally reached North America yesterday evening and debuted with $8.2 million. That figure puts it slightly ahead of X-Men: Days of Future Past as that came in slightly lower with $8.1 million back in 2014, but these numbers point to good things to come for the Bryan Singer helmed release after its $100 million opening weekend overseas last week.
The first teaser trailer for Star Trek Beyond faced quite a bit of backlash, with longtime fans and even those involved with the franchise in some way criticising what essentially looked like Fast and Furious in space. Thankfully, Paramount's latest effort made the movie’s tone a lot clearer, and despite the fact that it’s Justin Lin at the helm, it definitely looks like classic Trek.
Peter Parker made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Captain America: Civil War this month, but if many fans had had their way, it would have been Miles Morales joining #TeamIronMan. However, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has made it clear in interviews that the plan was always to reboot the original Spider-Man, leaving Miles' big screen future uncertain.
Season two of The Flash concluded with Barry Allen racing back in time to save his mother from the Reverse-Flash, a decision which is sure to have major ramifications on the timeline. The series has always played rather fast and loose with the rules of time travel, so trying to decipher what it will look like when it returns is impossible, but there's one very interesting new wrinkle.
Well, it's finally here. The latest mutant extravaganza is now gracing theatres everywhere as X-Men: Apocalypse is out in the wild and currently playing in theatres around the world. Critics haven't been to kind to the film thus far, with many of them pointing out wooden acting, severe plot holes and a dull villain as its main weaknesses, but that hasn't deterred 20th Century Fox from pushing forward with their marketing efforts.
If you're a fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, chances are you'll happily watch anything the charismatic wrestler turned actor lends his name too. Next up for him is Central Intelligence, a very fun looking comedy he'll be taking centre stage in alongside popular pint-sized comedian, Kevin Hart.
Season three of Arrow was a major disappointment, hence why the show's fourth season underwent some major changes by making Oliver Queen the Green Arrow and renaming Starling City as "Star City." Unfortunately, after a strong start last Fall, things quickly went back downhill, and the show's fans have started turning on The CW series as a result.
The Preacher pilot aired on AMC this past Sunday, but because the cable network wanted to take advantage of the extra viewers it would potentially gain from premiering the same night as Fear The Walking Dead's midseason finale, we have to wait two weeks for the second instalment of the comic book adaptation.
Wonder Woman is a big deal for a lot of reasons, but chief among them is the fact that it's one of only a handful of superhero movies to be directed by a woman. However, the Patty Jenkins helmed DC Comics adaptation has entered another fairly exclusive club due to it having a budget of over $100 million; that's because there are literally only a few movies which can be considered a big budget blockbuster (Kathryn Bigelow's K-19: The Widowmaker for example) that haven't had a man in the director's chair.
