The Emmys were once recognized as one of the highest forms of achievement that any actor or project can earn. However, the title has grown the notoriety of snubbing the deserved winners of a particular category. One such instance occurred recently: Blue Eye Samurai won the Best Animated Program over the flawless X-Men ’97 that had taken the world by storm.

Blue Eye Samurai is the dark sheep of Netflix, as the show had little to no hype but it was its gripping narrative and striking animation that resulted in the title being so popular. However, it was not good enough when its contender was X-Men ’97, which was a near-perfect show, where the 10 episodes featured the narrative of our favorite mutant team.
Hence, fans of animated titles wonder if they should allow this modern show to prove that its artistic merit pleased the...

Deadpool & Wolverine further explored The Void, introducing a Cassandra Nova Variant deemed so dangerous to the Multiverse that she'd been allowed to do what she pleases there.
When Wade Wilson and Logan crossed paths with the villain, they also came face-to-face with some familiar - and not so familiar - Variants. Among them was Quill, a mutant you may or may not remember from 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand.
Able to sprout porcupine-like quills from his body and use them as high-speed projectiles which could kill his enemies at will, he was portrayed by Ken Leung. However, in Deadpool & Wolverine, he became a she.
In Leung's place was stunt performer Nilly Cetin and, thanks to concept artist Jonay Bacallado, we have a detailed look at the villain

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a staple of the Hollywood landscape for nearly two decades. It all began with Iron Man in 2008, which was a phenomenon in and of itself, but it grew into something so exponentially large that few could have predicted the levels of box office success that Marvel Studios would go on to achieve. It was unprecedented, but it was doable - but only by Marvel.
The Avengers changed the game for the franchise, with the billion-dollar performance setting a new standard for superhero movies that the MCU itself would go on to outdo multiple times. But even with those levels of success, an end of an era came about when Avengers: Endgame - which temporarily became the highest-grossing movie of all time - brought about an end to the Infinity Saga, concluding the franchise's 11-year story. After that, the Multiverse Saga began.

Superman has had tons of movies over the years, each with something of it's own to offer the fans. Whether you grew up watching the Christopher Reeve classics or the recent Dceu movies, there is a Superman movie for everyone. Heck, there is a new Superman in James Gunn's DC Universe now, too.
Of course, the original DC movie was Superman and the Mole Men, starring George Reeves as Clark Kent and his heroic alter ego. George Reeves is known for his role as the Man of Steel in the TV show, Adventures of Superman, which ran for six seasons between 1952 and 1958. Superman and the Mole Men was a trial run for the series, essentially serving as an early backdoor pilot.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has dominated the contemporary blockbuster ecosystem so thoroughly and for so long now, to the point where it's getting ridiculous, that it may sometimes be easy to forget that there's a whole section of the Hollywood Venn diagram that excludes it while still including Marvel. Although there have been a whopping 34 MCU films (so far), there have also been 39 non-mcu films throughout history based on Marvel Comics publications -- and that's not even counting the ones adapted from comics published by Marvel offshoots, such as "Kick-Ass" and the "Kingsman" and "Men in Black" franchises.
Not for nothing, a lot of those non-mcu films have been pretty darn amazing. There's an argument to be made that, between the "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" series in the 2000s, Marvel movies were shaping and defining superhero cinema as we know it long before the MCU.

The Mutants are coming to the MCU — a fact we’ve known since Disney acquired Fox. While you might argue that some mutants have already appeared in the MCU, the X-Men themselves have not, and their full debut is still on the horizon. We’ve been promised that when they do arrive, it will be a significant moment.
Though the details remain unclear, it’s certain that Kevin Feige and Marvel want to get this right. The introduction of the X-Men will be a major event that will shape the MCU’s future for years, so it has to be executed flawlessly.
While there are no specific details yet, there is a compelling theory about the plot of ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ that might be connected to the X-Men’s debut in the MCU.
We know that ‘Secret Wars’ is set to be a major multiversal event and will wrap up the storyline involving Doctor Doom.

Now, although we do not know the details, we are sure that Feige and Marvel want to get this done right; the debut of the X-Men in the MCU is going to be major, and it will shape the future of the MCU for years to come, and that is why it has to be executed perfectly.

Exclusive: “These allegations of egregious misconduct are false,” said former X-Men ’97 showrunner Beau DeMayo today about the dark cloud of “gossip” over his sudden pink slipping by Marvel/Disney from the Emmy-nominated animated series just before its debut earlier this year.
Flipping the script, the seasoned scribe called out Marvel over its alleged “toxic environment” and “near criminal working conditions” that “turns individuals against one another, stokes paranoia to ensure compliance.”
Months after DeMayo’s exit in March, Marvel/Disney exclaimed in August that he was fired because of the “egregious nature of the findings” in a misconduct probe. Last month, DeMayo said that he was let go in part because of some LGBTQ fan art he reposed, implying strongly such rigidity is emblematic of the company’s inside stance. Rumors at Disney have swirled around photos supposedly sent to X-Men ’97 colleagues and accusations of getting too touchy with people on X-Men ’97.

Have you ever wanted to be so wrapped up in your partner, it’s as if you could just melt into them? Well, filmmaker Thibault Emin is taking that sentiment to the extreme — with a horrifying twist.
Emin makes his directorial debut with “Else,” a body horror romance feature about a strange epidemic that causes the infected to melt into their surroundings. Emin is a French director and screenwriter, who is expanding his 2007 short film “Else” into a feature that has been more than 15 years in the making. He co-wrote the script with Alice Butaud and Emma Sandona.
"Else” will have its world premiere at TIFF as part of the Midnight Madness program. The film is a sales title and hails from France and Belgium.
The official synopsis reads: “Introverted and uncomfortable in his own skin, Anx (Matthieu Sampeur) does not consider himself an obvious partner for Cass (Édith Proust...

Now that we’re into September – hopefully, you’ve read our preview from last week – many are hoping the box office can sustain its summer business. This week’s offering, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” surely will help. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.
Back in 1988, director Tim Burton teamed with Michael Keaton for the comedy “Beetlejuice,” which was Burton’s second feature film as a director. The movie became a relatively big hit, made on a fairly small budget, putting Burton and Keaton into a place where they could tackle “Batman” the following year.
The original “Beetlejuice” starred Alec Baldwin in a year in which he became a bigger star, along with Geena Davis, who was also starting a burgeoning career. Catherine O’Hara had already been doing the Canadian sketch comedy show “Sctv” for many years and taking on smaller film roles before being cast in that film, but more importantly,...

Our favorite Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, happens to be a major geek, but not in a way to compete with his Victor Frankenstein (2015) co-star James McAvoy. Awaiting his panel for the horror thriller, the duo appeared in an MTV After Hours from Josh Horowitz, to answer pop culture trivia, wherein McAvoy beat Radcliffe’s a*s at his own game.

Appearing in Josh Horowitz’s team, Daniel Radcliffe was asked to compete with James McAvoy and his four Horsemen of Apocalypse (what a reference to his 2016 Marvel flick X-Men: Apocalypse). During the segment, although Radcliffe was expected to know the most basic questions about Harry Potter, the actor surprisingly lost to McAvoy. It now seems quite obvious why Radcliffe was initially intimidated by the X-Men star while filming their movie.

I’ve always found it strange how Found Footage appears more frequently in film than in television. If you think about it, most of the recovered footage that we see in real life comes from True Crime TV and investigative journalism rather than movies – or at least it used to before the internet turned the whole world into one giant Found Footage horror flick streaming live until the end of time.
Despite this, there were actually quite a few big-name TV shows that recognized the storytelling potential of the Found Footage format and decided to experiment with Pov filmmaking during their run. And in honor of these small screen pioneers, today we’d like to highlight six excellent Found Footage episodes of non-Found-Footage TV shows.

Attention: The Following Report Is A Rumor. Please Take The Following Story With A Grain Of Salt.
With the X-Men now under the Marvel umbrella following nearly two decades at 20th Century Fox, things seem to be going well with the success of Deadpool & Wolverine. With the third and possibly final Deadpool movie serving as a sort of bookend to that era of the characters many are speculating what the future holds for the uncanny heroes and who will portray them on screen.
One of those characters people are wondering about is Prof. Charles Xavier aka Professor X. The character was previously portrayed by Patrick Stewart in the original timeline then by James McAvoy in the “First Class” timeline. But many are wondering what this new era will have in store.

With Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel Studios shook up the world of the superheroes we know and love. Opening the door wide open for mutants/X-Men to enter the MCU, the studio has made sure that there is an array of possible storylines for the future. This in turn means that fans should brace themselves for a plethora of cameos, both big and small, that could possibly come their way.

Channing Tatum certainly made a name for himself via his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. Taking on the fan-favorite mutant Gambit, Tatum strutted his stuff aplenty, which also included his hilarious accent, in The Void, and a recent post-credit scene shared by Reynolds confirms that the character even survived the onslaught Deadpool & Wolverine left for him and his partners to deal with.

The cameo has, almost immediately, resulted in widespread calls for a solo Gambit movie, for which Tatum is desperate, to say the least. And while the MCU may be short on options considering its busy slate over the upcoming period, one genius pitch for X-Men ‘97 Season 2 may be exactly how Tatum’s Gambit arrives to the MCU live-action, albeit eventually.

The Mutants are coming to the MCU! Yeah, yeah, we know, it’s nothing new, as this is a fact we have known since Disney’s acquisition of Fox. Sure, Mutants have already appeared in the MCU in several movies, but the X-Men have not, and while it will be some time before they actually do, we’ve been promised a major moment in the future.
There have been some rumors that Jackman will continue to play Wolverine in the MCU as well, but other casting rumors are basically non-existent. There was the one that Giancarlo Esposito would be playing Professor X, but with him being cast in a different MCU role, this seems unlikely now.

Wolverine & Jean are among the most notable comic “couples” or rather, Wolverine is a part of a love triangle that involves Jean & Cyclops. Their relationship is often portrayed as complicated or tumultuous in certain storylines due to a plethora of factors.
Jean and Cyclops have a longstanding romantic relationship, but it’s kind of messy. Jean and Wolverine often flirt and in some storylines, they even get together and have kids. Wolverine’s tumultuous past, his violent nature, and his struggles with inner demons can make it difficult for him to maintain stable relationships. Jean, being a telepath, is aware of Wolverine’s thoughts and emotions, which can further complicate their dynamic.
And while currently in the comics, Wolverine, and Cyclops are (supposedly) a part of some weird polyamorous relationship, Wolverine’s live-action portrayals always went with the safest and most popular bet, Wolverine pinning on Jean.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to venture into its Multiverse Saga, audiences are beginning to see just how limitless the possibilities truly are. Not only have they seen the returns of two classic Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, they have also seen Hugh Jackman don Wolverine's iconic comic-accurate yellow-and-blue suit for the first time ever. It's a truly wild time to be a Marvel fan.
The second of those two game-changing moments is the beginning of a new chapter for the MCU, as it will see Marvel Studios slowly begin to introduce audiences to the mutants and, by extension, the X-Men. Logan's return isn't the first reference to mutants in the franchise (there have been a few at this point), but it is the most significant, and according to Kevin Feige, we're heading into the Mutants Era.

With Robert Downey Jr. making a grand return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom, fans are chomping to see which characters will be rounding out the roster for the highly anticipated film, Avengers: Doomsday. It’s common knowledge that The Avengers flicks are renowned for bringing together a motley crew of heroes and villains from various corners of the comic book universe, and this one promises to be no exception.

It feels like watching a chef swap from making gourmet dishes to whipping up a spicy new recipe, especially with Downey Jr. trading his Iron Man suit for a villain’s cape. Despite the shift, expectations are sky-high for his performance. More spicy news to chew on: the Hulk, that big green behemoth, is back in action for Avengers: Doomsday—not in his millennial ‘Smart Hulk’ avatar, but in his raw, unedited primal rage form.

Jenn Tran is down to her final two men ahead of The Bachelorette Season 21 finale.
During the last episode, Jenn made the hardest decision on this journey before we jumped into Men Tell All.
She had just enjoyed Fantasy Suites with Devin Strader, Marcus Shoberg, and Jonathan Johnson, and all three dates went well.
Afterward, she had to choose which two men to take to the finale and who was going home
But when Jenn opted to send Jonathan home over Marcus, it didn’t sit well with viewers.
After all, Marcus admitted he still wasn’t quite there in terms of being in love and getting engaged to Jenn with just one more episode left.
Meanwhile, Jonathan was all in, even talking to Jenn about raising a family with her and how he thought it would go.

Despite having time away from the cameras to get to know each other, Jenn Tran sent Jonathon home after their overnight date. The rejected suitor was a guest on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast after his elimination. He opened up to Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt about his unexpected exit.

In a new interview published Thursday, August 29, the American Horror Story star addressed rumors she could be casted for Britney Spears' upcoming biopic — adapted from her 2023 hit memoir, The Woman in Me — after the "Toxic" singer's former longtime assistant Felicia Culotta said Roberts would be a good choice for the role.

Halle Berry once felt filming her X-Men movies could be more challenging than some of the other films she’d done. Although it wasn’t always because of the level of acting required for the superhero projects. Rather, it was sometimes due to the lack thereof.
Halle Berry once shared how playing Storm measured up to her more dramatic roles Halle Berry | Toshifumi Kitamura/Getty Images
Berry was once synonymous with Storm for almost a decade. Fans saw her portray the powerful mutant from 2000 all the way to 2007. But within that time frame, Berry took on other, more dramatic roles to further expand her filmography. That period saw Berry doing features like Monster’s Ball and Things We Lost in the Fire.
But when comparing the two genres, Berry considered playing Storm more taxing than any of her dramas. She might’ve showcased more acting in projects such as in the Fire.

Deadpool and Wolverine may have come and gone, but that's only the beginning of an incredibly exciting era for Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was a major turning point for the saga, as it officially confronted the long-running franchise with the mutants' story as Hugh Jackman brought his Wolverine back to the big screens, opening the MCU up to the possibility of the X-Men.
He wasn't the only X-Men star to appear in the film either, as Aaron Stanford reprised his role as Pyro from X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand and Dafne Keen returned as Logan's Laura, while Channing Tatum finally got to play the role of Gambit after very nearly playing it in that aforementioned X-Men movie series.

Long before the Avengers and the MCU were the dominant superhero franchises, Marvel was focused on bringing its most popular comic characters to the big screen. The idea of an X-Men movie was floated around as early as the mid-80s, but it took a while to find the right combination of writers, directors, and actors.
The movie that eventually emerged was released in 2000, following Wolverine and Rogue as they become entangled with both Charles Xavier and Magneto's respective teams of mutants. When Congress considers passing the Mutant Registration Act, Magneto launches a plan that could drastically change the political balance of the United States.
Since the first X-Men movie was released, there have been two direct sequels, a trilogy focused on Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and four prequels. In addition, the Deadpool and New Mutants films have been set in the same world, expanding the franchise to even greater heights.

Children being named after Game of Thrones characters has been a common occurrence for several years now. The trend peaked in 2018, with more than 4,500 babies being given Westeros-inspired names, from Aegon to Lyanna. Now, a few years down the line, parents are finding some unexpected consequences of naming their children after pop culture icons.
Recently, a girl named Khaleesi (a title given to Daenerys Targaryen by the Dothraki), 6, was denied a British passport for a dream trip to Disneyland because of her name. There's thousands of children named Elsa, Leia, Hermione, and so on, who are all fine to go on holiday. But if you're named after the Mother of Dragons, you apparently need special approval. The girl's mother, Lucy, was told by the Passport Office that she required permission from Warner Bros. because the name 'Khaleesi' is trademarked.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is back for Season 2, and this time around there are a number of new characters to keep straight. With Sauron revealed to be Halbrand at the end of Season 1, the chess pieces are now fully in the open and the Dark Lord is masquerading as yet another new character this season in order to try and forge the titular rings. We’ve also got drama with the dwarves, in-fighting amongst the elves and that guy who most definitely is Gandalf is wandering the desert with a harfoot.
Absent in Season 2 is Nazanin Boniadi who played Bronwyn, who exited the show. But new to the cast are Ciaran Hinds, Rory Kinnear and plenty more filling out this prequel series that tackles J.R.R.

The first time you watch Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) brawl Yuriko Oyama aka Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) in 2003's "X2: X-Men United," you may find yourself echoing what Logan says at the outset of their showdown: "Holy s**t." More than 20 years later, the fight between these two super-healing individuals with adamantium-laced skeletons still ranks up there as one of the most savage mutant versus mutant scuffles in all of 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" movies. Despite being restricted by the film's PG-13 rating, this sequence manages to packs in plenty of wince-inducing moments, culminating with Lady Deathstrike's horrifying fate of death by liquified adamantium injection. That she'd spent the whole movie being forced to serve the detestable William Stryker (Brian Cox), who uses a mind control serum to rob her of her agency, only adds to the greater tragedy of the character.

The feature allows fans to search for specific events to find out where the games are playing, whether it be on the ESPN platforms or on broadcast, cable and regional sports networks and streaming services. Where to Watch is available on every screen on the ESPN App and on ESPN.com.

“Simplifying discovery of sporting events and where a fan can watch has become increasingly important as sports viewing has become fragmented across networks and platforms,” said Brian Marshall, vice president, Sports Product & Technology, Disney Entertainment & ESPN Technology. “ESPN has always been the first stop for sports fans, and as we continue our evolution as the preeminent digital sports platform, we are proud to meet the needs of fans with new features to improve the discoverability of live sports and simplify their consumption journeys.”

Wade Wilson is a character in every way imaginable; one of Marvel Comics' most unforgettable and a larger-than-life personality, he has been shocking, enraging, and captivating people for decades. And now, he's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he has managed to do it all again.
Deadpool and Wolverine is one of the franchise's biggest success stories, and it's no easy feat to do that 34 movies in, but that's partly due to the success of the cinematic interpretation of Deadpool and the movie titan than he has become in his own right.
Ryan Reynolds' irreverent Merc With A Mouth first trash-talked his way onto the silver screen in 2016 and he's been making quite the spectacle of himself ever since. Not bad for a somewhat lesser-known antihero in a world full of larger-than-life, famous superheroes.

With the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Kevin Feige has announced the start of the mutant era in the MCU. While some X-Men and mutants have already appeared in MCU projects, the upcoming X-Men live-action reboot will introduce an entirely new cast.
Professor X was previously portrayed by Patrick Stewart in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but this was an alternate variant, an Illuminati member who ultimately meets his end at the hands of Scarlet Witch.
Patrick Stewart was never intended to be the main Charles Xavier for the MCU, just as John Krasinski was not meant to be the MCU’s Mr. Fantastic. As a result, fans have been suggesting various actors for the role in future projects. With Marvel’s recent emphasis on inclusion, some of the actors proposed for the role are Black, such as David Oyelowo and Courtney B. Vance.

Remember the days when the Men Tell All was spicy?
Well, those days may be over, or they at least took a vacation during this season of The Bachelorette because this season could have been an email — or a little add-on before the finale.
Seriously. Did we need two hours of this? Even Sam M.’s inevitable hot seat moment felt lackluster. Big sigh.
(Disney/John Fleenor)
But before we get into the men giving us nothing, we see Grant telling his mom he’s going to be the next bachelor, and he will be such a cute little thing when his season airs.
He seems so genuine, which, as we know, is Not a given in this franchise, and you can tell he’s nervous and probably a little overwhelmed, which is refreshing. He probably has no idea what he’s getting into and a love that for us as the audience.

Sam McKinney was put in the hot seat, specifically regarding that comment about who he thought the lead of The Bachelorette would be when he joined the show. During the Men Tell All special, Sam addressed what he said in front of Jenn Tran that shocked Bachelor Nation. The discussion started during Sam’s one-on-one with Jesse Palmer. “He’s talking about eyes a lot — about Jenn’s eyes — he might have had eyes for Maria [Georgas] or Daisy [Kent] before,” Jeremy Simon quipped, referring to The Bachelor Season 28 fan favorites. In Episode 6, Sam shocked everyone, including Jenn, when he said, “I thought the Bachelorette was going to be Daisy or Maria.” Sam immediately responded to Jeremy, “I’m really glad you brought that up. Truthfully. Whenever we all came out here, we had no idea who the Bachelorette was going to be,” Sam said. “But if anybody’s going to sit...

One of the questions that fans have had since the film's release is the fate of Gambit and whether he was able to escape the Void and return to his universe. Fortunately, we finally have the answer.

Chris Claremont wrote the X-Men comics from 1975 to 1991, but he could've — and would've — gone even longer. Marvel Editor Bob Harras, though, was giving more and more power to artist Jim Lee, to the point Claremont was basically just writing the dialogue for Lee's stories. After building the X-Men from the ground-up and spending a decade-plus with the characters, having his comic hijacked like that had to sting. Thus, Claremont departed after "Uncanny X-Men" #279. He's returned to the X-Men several times since, but the last stories of his unbroken run were the first three issues of the relaunched 1991 comic simply titled "X-Men."
Had Claremont stayed on, he had plans for stories at least up to "Uncanny X-Men" #300. He was building up to an arc where the malevolent psychic the Shadow King manipulates man and mutant kinds into all-out war. Claremont also wanted to permanently write out, if not kill, Professor X...

There are many versions of characters in the MCU. Throughout the comics, we’ve watched as different versions of characters have been worthy of Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer. What about the MCU that we’ve come to know and love?
Sure enough, Captain America proved that he was worthy when he wielded Mjolnir in Avengers: Infinity War. We all knew that was coming, though. We saw it move when he tried it in front of anyone. Part of what made him worthy was that he stopped moving it and pretended that he couldn’t lift it.
What it takes to be worthy of Mjolnir in the MCU
Odin made it clear that Thor was only worthy of his own hammer when he possessed the following:
Compassion
Restraint
Nobility
Wisdom
Humility
It's not easy to find someone with all five personality traits. Some of them can be learned, allowing for characters to grow.

Discussions are rampant about the new X-Men actors in the MCU. Fans have some suggestions about the cast of the mutant movie. For the role of Charles Xavier, a section of fans suggested a Black actor to play the role. This was partly based on the idea that Martin Luther King Jr. served as an inspiration to shape the character.

However, fans arguing for a comic-accurate Professor X presented their side and one particular argument appeared to rightly justify casting a White actor. Interestingly, the dynamic between a racially superior Charles Xavier and a Jewish Magneto will become important in the storyline of the film.

The 4:30 Movie is the sixteenth feature film from director Kevin Smith, and a while back the movie not only received an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association ratings board, but it also secured a distribution deal with Saban Films that will see it reaching theatres on September 13th. In the trailer that has made its way online (and is embedded above), there’s a moment where we see a construction worker played by Jason Biggs having an intense experience in a port-a-potty… and Smith has revealed what’s going on in that scene. As it turns out, this is a movie-within-the-movie moment, much like the Sister Sugar Walls faux trailer that opens the trailer and the imagery we’ve seen from Astro Blaster and the Beaver-Men, which is the movie the characters are going to see at 4:30.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the most recent MCU installment, it’s currently breaking box office records, which is no wonder considering how important it is in the long run. Feige teased that the era of mutants begins with the movie, and considering everything we’ve seen we’re bound to agree with this.
Mutants were teased in the MCU before, in fact, several of them were shown on screen, but ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the first movie that directly acknowledged the existence of X-Men and mutants as we know them, and ultimately it brought into the fold one of the most important mutants and X-Men members, or was it?
One of the biggest selling points of the movie was the fact that it’s going to bring Jackman’s Wolverine to the MCU, but we already had a variant of Wolverine in the MCU, and he was teased 2 years before the movie was released.
