Logan was a movie full of highlights, but the standout was easily young Spanish actress Dafne Keen's ferocious, heartbreaking turn as X-23. The character was embraced by fans and critics alike, and because of this we all figured it was only a matter of time before we saw Keen reprise the role in a future X-Men project. And though that still remains a strong possibility, it doesn't sound like it's set in stone just yet.
The season 1 finale of HBO's Westworld was a somewhat chaotic affair, and amidst the android awakenings and shocking executions, one character in particular seemed to get lost in the mix.
Earlier this morning, all hell broke loose when news surfaced saying that Zack Snyder's Justice League was in a fair amount of trouble. Splash Report claimed that the film had undergone extensive reshoots and had essentially been remade - twice. Of course, this sent shockwaves through the four corners of the internet and it was just a matter of time before the studio fired back.
Though we do know a few bits and pieces about the plot of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, any specific story details outside of what we learned from the first trailer for the movie are still under wraps. That's something Disney and Lucasfilm are obviously hoping will continue until they're good and ready to divulge some more details, but a Japanese promotional flyer for the film may have beaten them to it.
When it comes to the DC Extended Universe, all of the focus right now is being placed on Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman, and understandably so. But looking further ahead, there are a number of other films coming our way that are definitely worth getting excited about. One of those is Black Adam, which will star Dwayne Johnson as the titular character.
For a while there, things didn't look too good for Fox's X-Men franchise. Apocalypse was a wholly mediocre affair and after it under-performed with both critics and at the box office, things went quiet in regards to where the mutants would head next. It didn't take long though before the rumors began to swirl and a few weeks back, the studio finally issued an official statement telling fans exactly what they can expect, and when.
The alien invasion genre is one that's almost as old as cinema itself, which is why it's always exciting when someone comes up with a new twist on it. We saw that happen last year with Denis Villeneuve's Arrival - one of the best sci-fi films of the decade - and in 2018, director Rupert Wyatt will attempt to find similar success with Captive State.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series has had a bit of a bumpy ride over on this side of the pond. Though the trilogy was a huge hit overseas when it was adapted for the big screen, it didn't find the same success back in 2011 when David Fincher remade it. As you surely know by now, the film under-performed at the box office and the follow-up (at that time thought to be The Girl Who Played with Fire) spiralled down into development hell. Further problems behind the scenes with the various filmmakers and producers complicated the process even more and all hoped seemed to be lost for a sequel.
Say what you want about Zac Efron, but the former High School Musical star is drastically reinventing himself in Hollywood and becoming a bonafide leading man in the process. Since his days of being nothing more than a pretty face, the actor has gone on to give some impressive performances in films like Neighbors and its equally enjoyable sequel, among other titles, and this month he's got the highly anticipated Baywatch reboot releasing.
The DC Extended Universe isn't in the best shape right now. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad both failed to perform how the studio had no doubt hoped they would. The latter got railed by critics while the former struggled to hit even $1 billion at the box office, which is shocking given that it features two of the most iconic characters in any medium, ever. Still, Warner Bros. is pushing on with their plans, hoping that they can start to turn things around.
