When X-Men: First Class ended, Mystique was left on a path which could have easily seen her become the villain we all knew from the original X-Men trilogy. However, Days of Future Past shook things up by making some major changes to the timeline and established the shapeshifter as a hero. So, when X-Men: Apocalypse begins, Raven has become an icon in the eyes of mutants.
Last week, Marvel Studios revealed the full cast list for Thor: Ragnarok, and one of the biggest surprises was the addition of Star Trek actor Karl Urban as Skurge the Executioner. Best known for aligning himself with The Enchantress, the character's inclusion in the threequel came completely out of nowhere, as did the Dredd star's decision to join the MCU.
Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, the status of Steve Rogers has been left somewhat up in the air. While he's still leading a team of Avengers, the character is no longer wielding the shield, and whether or not the fugitive superhero is going to show up again before Avengers: Infinity War remains a mystery as of now.
Just a day after Ben Affleck showered praise on his The Batman co-writer Geoff Johns, the comic book scribe has returned the favour during an appearance yesterday evening on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The DC Entertainment Chief Content Officer was there to promote the release of DC Rebirth #1, but talk quickly turned to the Dark Knight's next solo outing.
Following in the footsteps of seemingly almost every single 80s/90s film out there, Get Shorty is now the latest movie set to receive the television treatment. Yup, that's right, EPIX and MGM are teaming up to produce a show based on Barry Sonnenfeld's 1995 film.
The Wolverine 3 has been making a lot of very interesting casting additions lately, but no details have been revealed about who they'll be playing, something which leaves us completely in the dark about what to expect from the James Mangold helmed release when it reaches theaters next year.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was a very divisive movie, and regardless of whether you loved or hated it, it's impossible to ignore the fact that Warner Bros. must have been massively disappointed by both the critical and commercial response (an adaptation pitting the Dark Knight against the Man of Steel failing to reach $1 billion is downright embarrassing).
Based on comments we've heard from Joss Whedon in the past, he didn't exactly enjoy the experience of jumping from The Avengers straight into its sequel, Age of Ultron. Much of that seemed to be the result of creative differences with Marvel Studios, but the filmmaker has made it clear that he would be open to working with them again so long as he can take some time to focus on his own projects first.
Hawkeye's costumes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have always been a little divisive despite being lifted pretty much directly out of the comic books. The problem for many fans is that the comic his suit hails from is The Ultimates, a rather controversial series by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch which offered up a more realistic take on The Avengers.
The season two finale of The Flash was full of shocking twists and turns, but perhaps the biggest was the reveal that the Man in the Iron Mask is the real Jay Garrick from Earth-3. However, much to the shock of Barry Allen, Jay is the doppelgänger of the hero's father (who was murdered by Zoom in last week's penultimate episode).
