The X-Men is one of the biggest franchises ever, and for a long time, they have been a fan-favorite mutant group featuring Professor X and his gifted children, with several popular films and comic books that add to its popularity. While the mutant franchise is known for showcasing high-octane battles with a gripping storyline; they are equally proficient in presenting emotionally affecting sagas that would move one to tears.

Fans know that mutants are like a disease because it’s genetic and often referred to that way by human beings. However, in one of the mutant sagas, a heart-aching tale was showcased, where mutants are made in a secret facility, and a cure could turn them back to normal.

Star Trek: The Next Generations played a massive role in making Sir Patrick Stewart the star he is today. The role of Jean-Luc Picard established the X-Men star as a prominent face in modern pop culture. However, when Stewart was first slated to take over the lead role from the iconic William Shatner, it was met with skepticism from the Trekkies and even his The Next Generation co-actor.

Initially, the Trekkies were not ready to accept that their favorite Captain Kirk would be replaced in the new series. But it is interesting how another The Next Generation actor Michael Dorn was not convinced with Patrick Stewart taking over the popular franchise.

For a long while, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had a reputation for not only producing smash successes at the box office, but movies that scored "Fresh" on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes too. This set the MCU apart from its competitors like the DC Extended Universe, which earned marks as erratic as the movies themselves, and the routinely-panned "Transformers" films.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is proud of the MCU achieving critical success alongside its commercial strides. As he told Vanity Fair in 2017:
"[Rotten Tomatoes sends] this little Lucite, certified fresh thing with the name of the movie on it. We got them lined up around here. We take pride in it. There are cases where audiences and critics are not aligned. But I think, for the most part, they are, and I like it when people like our movies."

Deadpool & Wolverine is set to hit the theaters in about a month, and one Marvel scoop about Hugh Jackman’s yellow suit in the film would make any fan sad. Jackman played Wolverine for the first time in X-Men in 2000, and he never wore the yellow & navy blue suit in his entire run with the 20th Century Fox movies. When photos of the Australian actor on the Deadpool 3 set in his suit were released, fans were celebrating the comic-accurate depiction of the character.

Long before Marvel made history with its billion-dollar Avengers film or Academy Award-nominated Black Panther, the pieces of the comic universe were scattered among Hollywood’s numerous studios. The MCU played with only the spades in its deck by bringing out Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.
But true universe-building only began when Disney acquired Marvel Studios in 2009 and 20th Century Studios in 2019, essentially bringing the MCU, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four properties under one banner.

Over the past 20-odd years, the rise of geek culture has been something absolutely wild to witness. For members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the popularity of comic book movies, sci-fi/fantasy franchises, and other attendant IP has always been the norm, while for us in the Gen X or millennial generations, it's been a roller coaster of emotions. There was the rising exhilaration of seeing characters and material long regarded as merely silly or lesser-than suddenly legitimized in a big way, followed by the over-the-hill period we're living through right now, in which many feel groggily hungover by the chokehold that comic book movies and cinematic universes have had on populist cinema for the last several years.

Although a lot of the mutants from Marvel comics did manage to make it to the X-Men project for the screens, not all of them got the true recognition they deserved, with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine being a major exception.
But while the others were simply sidelined, some of them were actually told that they had the potential to get their own solo movie for their respective mutant.

One of these was The Blob, who was played by Kevin Durand in 2009’s Origins: Wolverine. As the actor revealed, he was promised a solo movie for his character, with a plotline that basically hinged on fat-shaming because of the mutant’s characteristics.
However, in a disappointing turn of events, that promise never really managed to pan out, let alone make it to the screens.

Comics books have weird crossovers all the time. The Punisher has shown up in Riverdale to hang out with Archie and his pals. The Green Lantern Corp has inducted Apes from Planet of the Apes into its ranks. The Batman has had so many crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that it’s practically a once in two years even. So, it is not all that odd that audiences have seen the X-Men rub shoulders with the crew of the Enterprise.

Everyone gets their moment to shine with enough patience and hard work. Cowboy Bebop voice actor Steve Blum can say that loudly and clearly. The anime stands as foundational in many ways. Opening the doors for animated projects to be darker, less welcoming for children, and more appropriate for a more mature audience, it also brought about the world of anime to Western culture.

Animation in itself was limited to children alone and for anime grew popularly in such a world where Japanese was sparsely spoken and the media that came with it was even less acknowledged. Cowboy Bebop changed that and thus the direction in which anime was growing by introducing successful dubs. Watching anime with subtitles was common but their dubs only became concrete after the series’ success.

X-Men fans have been clamouring to see Wolverine in his distinctive costume for many years, but the closest Hugh Jackman ever came to suiting-up in Logan's comic book duds was taking a quick glimpse at the outfit in a deleted scene from James Mangold's The Wolverine.
Jackman will finally don the yellow and blue suit in next month's Deadpool and Wolverine, and while we haven't actually seen a live-action shot of the Aussie actor in the mask, he is expected to wear it at some point in the movie.
There's been speculation that we may only see Logan with the cowl on for a single scene (possibly even as a gag to troll fans), but it sounds like he will appear in the full costume for a little longer than that!
Insider Daniel Richtman has heard that we will see Wolvie in the mask for 10 minutes.

As part of Variety‘s “Behind the Song,” the Newton Brothers Andy Gursh and Taylor Stewart broke down how they crafted the superhero soundtrack for Marvel’s new animated series “X-Men ’97.”
Having both been fans of X-Men from a young age, Grush and Stewart were both “very, very excited” when first approached about the project. While revisiting the original cartoon to prepare, one element that jumped out at Stewart was the power of the theme song.
“As a kid on Saturday mornings, I would hear the theme song and I would always get super-duper pumped up. We went through the original series and it was like a time capsule,” Stewart said. “It was great from a fan perspective and also as [we got] involved in the composition side.”
“It was real dense too, which is fun,” Grush added. “There’s a lot going on with the story, but then a lot going on musically.

While Reynolds and Levy have neither confirmed nor denied any participation by Swift in the movie, Marvel seemingly has leaned into the buzz.

If you’ve been wondering if Logan would wear his iconic cowl in Deadpool and Wolverine, we have an answer! Thanks to Hot Toys, we have a detailed look at the mutant’s mask.
The upcoming 1/6 scale premium action figure comes with interchangeable heads and mouthpieces. As expected, Hot Toys nailed Hugh Jackman’s likeness and even made the live-action cowl look good.
The odds that we’ll see Wolverine fully decked out in his complete costume for more than a few minutes are probably slim. However, in the past 20+ years, this will be the first time we will finally get a mostly comic book-accurate version of the popular X-Men member on the big screen.
The Deluxe Edition action figure is expected to launch sometime during Q2-Q3, 2025.

For me, Wolverine started as a Saturday morning cartoon character. In fact I saw the first X-Men movie before picking up a comic. This just goes to show the strength and popularity of the character, with 2024 his 50th year in comics which coincides with potentially his biggest and best outing on the big screen. Here I am going to walk you through my personal journey with the little guy who made it big across all forms of media. How I came to be a comic reader and collector is a story for another day.
Getting back to those Saturday mornings, why did Wolverine stand out? First of all the costume just leaps off the screen. When he is out of the trademark yellow and blue there wasn’t another cartoon character that looked like him! I mean the hair, the height, the plaid shirt and the cowboy hat combo! It...

Patrick Stewart has played an umpteen number of iconic characters in his long career. The actor is as versatile as one can be and is unafraid to take on roles that one might not necessarily see him in. His most popular role is undoubtedly his long run as Professor X in the Marvel Universe. The actor has played the character since the 2000s and most recently in 2022’s Doctor Strange 2.

In current times, inclusivity and representation have become a very important necessity in any workplace or industry. Charles Xavier famously moves with the help of a wheelchair as he is paralyzed below his waist. With the question of whether a new Professor X should be played by a differently abled person, Stewart feels that putting that kind of specificity restricts creativity.

Well, it was an interesting rumor while it lasted. Although Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy kind of/sort/not-really teased fans with the idea that Taylor Swift may make a cameo as the mutant Dazzler, it turns out that probably isn’t the case.
Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive news that the rumors were just that. The superstar singer/songwriter will not be in the long-awaited Deadpool sequel. How do they know this? They just do. The publication doesn’t go into details about how it learned this news, but it probably came down from Swift herself or her rep.

‘X-Men ’97’ turned out to be a surprise hit for the Marvel Studios. Ever since the first episode was released the show had consistently high ratings, and fans praised it for its story, authenticity, and faithfulness to the original show and numerous improvements made to characters.
Having said that, the show wasn’t without controversies, especially when the creators of the show went public that Morph was non-binary, and in episode 3, the romance between Morph & Wolverine was teased for the first time.
The confirmation that something more is going on finally came in the final episode of the first season. While Wolverine lay horrifically wounded after Magneto removed adamantium from his body, Morph transformed into Jean, comforting Wolverine and confessing love to him.

We have another round of Marvel Cinematic Universe-related rumors here, with (possible) updates on the X-Men reboot, Disney+'s Wonder Man series, the still not officially-announced Scarlet Witch solo movie, and more.
We'll start with an update on a rumor that did the rounds last week after the Atlanta Filming Instagram page shared a photo of Doctor Strange actor Benedict Wong with the caption "why would a sorcerer be in Cap 4?"
As you might expect, this morphed into a rumor that Wong was set to make an appearance in Captain America: Brave New World, but it seems the 3 Body Problem actor was simply in town filming a different project while the MCU movie was undergoing reshoots.
"Yes, he is in town," the photographer clarified in a new post. "People have seen him walking around midtown. But, whether or not he sorcery-ing or not you will have to wait to find out.

Taking on the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Patrick Stewart has reprised his role in the numerous shows and movies within the franchise.

“Nothing lasts forever.” There’s something deeply ironic about that line of dialogue being dropped by Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow in only the second Avengers movie from almost 10 years ago. While Johansson’s tenure in the superhero genre is apparently over, with the Oscar-nominated star more recently focusing on films like Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, the MCU is still going strong with the latest whispers about Avengers 5 getting the rumor mills spinning again. Hence one of the reasons Steve Carell and Illumination Entertainment’s new marketing for Despicable Me 4 is so biting.
Carell—who, by the by, was also in Asteroid City—took time to promote not only Despicable Me 4 in a new viral marketing video, but an entire supposed “Mega Minions” shared universe that will outlive us all and see the 22nd century.

Singer got to meet him on the set of 1997’s Conspiracy Theory, which X-Men executive producer Richard Donner directed. However, Stewart was reluctant to take on the role for one reason.

For the longest part of their existence, the team of mutants enjoyed a celebrated status in-universe, at times exceeding those of their more human counterparts. However, in live-action, the group of remarkable actors handpicked by Kevin Feige surpassed both box office and pop culture popularity with 2012’s The Avengers in contrast to the X-Men, which came to life at the hands of Fox, years before.

In March 2019, Marvel Studios regained the film rights to X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool after Disney’s acquisition of Fox for $71.3 billion.
These characters are planned to be integrated into the MCU. In October 2020, the ‘X-Men’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ films were rebranded as “Marvel Legacy films” on Disney+. Notably, Patrick Stewart already reprised his role as an alternate Professor X in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ and Kelsey Grammer returned as Beast in ‘The Marvels’.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will bring Deadpool and Wolverine, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, respectively, into the MCU continuity. Now it’s quite obvious that we are getting closer to the reboot as months pass, and more and more rumors are discussing details surrounding the movie.

Marvel Studios first announced plans to reboot the Fantastic Four in 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic and Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts' decision to leave the project slowed things down, but The Fantastic Four is finally heading our way next year.
WandaVision's Matt Shakman will be at the helm, and a first-look promo image confirmed it takes place in the 1960s...and in another reality.
Fans had long wondered how Marvel Studios would go about introducing Marvel's First Family, with the prevailing theory being that they might have gained their powers during The Blip. Instead, they'll hail from another Earth altogether.
That doesn't mean they won't eventually make their way to a more familiar setting, of course.
According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, "The Fantastic Four are going to be key players in the Multiverse Saga and in Secret Wars. The film will also be a pivotal addition...

James Gunn is not the one to walk away from creating a bizarro world in his films. The DC chief has one chance to bring one of the grossest scenes in the comic books to the screen in the Dcu. Last year, DC Comics introduced a designer metahuman, Metawoman, who could rapidly alter her genetic code to confront any threat. She went up against the Doom Patrol in Unstoppable Doom Patrol #5, released in 2005.
