And yet, when it came to impressing one girl whom he liked back in his youthful days, the fan-beloved Wolverine portrayer couldn’t so much as quite make the perfect use of his charm. While he did try to play the sympathy card to catch that girl’s attention, it ended up taking a serious toll on him instead, making even his charm feel like it was not enough to make her like him.

Fox X-Men movies reached their peak in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender returned to the movie, which also saw Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and the old X-Men team return. The film had a compelling theme and the main duo gave an emotionally powerful performance that fans wished to see in more films.

It’s no secret that Hugh Jackman spent 24 years maintaining and improving his Wolverine body, and it’s not an easy feat. The actor had to go through rigorous training and a strict diet regimen without fail. He has been very vocal about his love and passion for the X-Men character, and it takes a lot of dedication and discipline to portray Wolverine on the big screen.

It’s something fans have waited 20 years for when it comes to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, even if they didn’t know it. No, not the costume. We always knew we wanted to see Jackman in that little yellow and blue number. And when the mask came on during the third act of Deadpool & Wolverine, the roof of my particular theater strained from the high-decibel cheers.
As beautiful as that costume was while watching Wolverine go on a Madonna-scored berserker rage, we have seen Jackman’s most beloved onscreen character up to his knees in blood splatter before. We have also seen him attempt to sacrifice himself for the world, or at least a handful of loved ones in it, be it in X-Men when he risked dying of slash wounds in order to transfer his healing factor to Anna Paquin’s Rogue,...

The X-Men franchise began at the turn of the millennium in 2000 and went on to release 13 more films, becoming one of the most-loved superhero film series. However, with the release of multiple trilogies, prequels, and spin-offs, the timeline of the franchise became confusing.
Add to that X-Men’s inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the team-up between Deadpool and Wolverine, which only made the timeline even more complicated. Well, we are here to help you out. Here is how you can watch all the 14 X-Men films in chronological order.

Hugh Jackman is all set to regale audiences as he reprises his iconic Marvel role in Deadpool and Wolverine.

Ahead of the release, Reynolds and Jackman have been entertaining fans with their humorous banter in various public outings as part of the promotions of the film. In their latest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Reynolds hilariously pulled Jackman’s leg by embarrassing him with a cringeworthy clip of his role in a 90s television show. The Marvel star sportingly played along by comparing his performance to that of Daniel Day-Lewis.

The X-Men franchise, based on a team of mutant superheroes in the Marvel comic books, was established by Fox. The team of beings with mutated genetics that endow them with special powers was brought together by Charles Xavier, or Professor X, played by James McAvoy in the prequel films and by Patrick Stewart in the films that kick off the franchise.
In the films, various X-Men members are played by multiple actors, which helps categorize the films in some ways. The timeline of the films gets complicated with a full reset in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), which unites the different sets of actors that play characters in the older and newer film. Those not familiar might get confused based on which actor plays which character in various films.

The collision of Deadpool, Wolverine and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 2024 threequel film for Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with the Mouth has much backstory, as does its two heroes, or anti-heroes as some consider, with their own sets of films that establish their histories.
The Deadpool franchise is pretty simple to follow, since Ryan Reynolds only has two previous standalone films iin the red suit, Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). Ryan Reynolds does also appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). There are several references to Wolverine in the two Deadpool films.
Hugh Jackman’s journey as Wolverine is a bit more complicated, with multiple timelines and two actors playing Professor X, or Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart’s older version vs. James McAvoy’s 30 year-old X), and also Magneto (Michael Fassbender vs. Ian McKellen) and some memory loss on the part of James Howlett — or Logan, aka Wolverine.

Ever since Disney acquired Fox in 2019, fans have been wishing to see their beloved X-Men characters join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Slowly but surely, this is already happening with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine.

The MCU is currently riding a high tide following the hype created by Deadpool & Wolverine promotions. The next couple of movies are very crucial for the studios, especially Captain America: Brave New World, and after that, the big multiversal team-up in Avengers: Secret Wars.

The MCU movies have all been interconnected in some way, which has contributed to their success. And that is why these two films also need to share some semblance, and Amazon’s hit The Boys might have a clue to that.

Soon, Hugh Jackman will return as Logan in the highly-anticipated "Deadpool & Wolverine," hopefully returning the Marvel Cinematic Universe to glory in the process. If there's one role the Aussie actor is known for, after all, it's Wolverine/Logan, and as "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" taught us all, cramming your movie full of fan-favorite cameos is a recipe for box office success — though, in the latter's case, not necessarily for a good film.

Alec Baldwin has been going through a rough couple of years in his career due to the Rust accident. Before the unfortunate turn of events that ended up killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Baldwin had major roles in movies including Mission: Impossible. Interestingly, Baldwin earlier revealed that he was offered a Marvel villain role, which he had to turn down due to a personal reason.

Halle Berry played one of the most badass characters in the X-Men franchise, Storm. The actress reprised her role in multiple films of the franchise, including the futuristic X-Men: Days of Future Past. The Oscar-winning actress was given top billing along with Hugh Jackman in the films.
However, she was reportedly close to being betrayed by Fox Studios in the film X-Men: The Last Stand, which is often considered to be a major disappointment.

However, she was reportedly close to being betrayed by Fox Studios in the film X-Men: The Last Stand, which is often considered to be a major disappointment. In fact, filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, who was initially signed on to direct the threequel reportedly left the film after getting to know what the studio would do to Berry.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is one of the most exciting upcoming projects. It’s the only MCU movie bound to be released in 2024, and judging by the opinions of people who already saw parts of it, it’s going to be an MCU saver and restore the faith of fans in the franchise overall.
Just like with every anticipated project, plenty of rumors are going around about potential cameos, variants, and elements of the movie. Some have been confirmed like Garner’s Elektra, and some remain under speculation, with more and more evidence stacking to support them. This is why we decided to overview all confirmed (and rumored) cameos & variants that are supposed to be included in the movie.
1. Aaron Stanford – John Allerdyce/Pyro (Confirmed)
Aaron Stanford was only rumored to make a comeback, as well as some other minor X-Men villains. His appearance was ultimately confirmed with the release of the trailer.

We were hoping Deadpool & Wolverine might get a final trailer and, while much of the movie is still being kept under wraps (and rightly so), Marvel Studios has today pulled back the curtain on some big surprises.
The sneak peek delivers plenty of hints about what's to come, focusing on what looks to be a redemption arc for this Wolverine Variant. We also get an intriguing glimpse at Cassandra Nova's plans for the Multiverse and heaps of Easter Eggs for MCU fans to get excited about.
Oh, and the return of Logan star Dafne Keen as X-23, of course!
In this feature, we're taking a deep dive into the footage to explore that and more. You can check out this Deadpool & Wolverine trailer breakdown in full by clicking the "Next"/"View List" button below.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ love story was nothing short of a romantic drama that left fans craving such a kind of love. Meeting first in 1995 on the set of Corelli, they found their spark and decided to blossom their love, which led to their marriage just after a year. Over the years, the couple has been there for each other, supporting their significant other both personally and professionally.

However, the fan-favorite couple sent shockwaves around the world in 2023 when they announced their split after 27 years of their fairytale love coming to an end. While both stars have enjoyed their time together, it looks like the split has affected the Logan actor.

Cameras are now rolling on director Luc Besson's new take on Dracula, with his DogMan star Caleb Landry Jones on board to play the legendary Transylvanian Count.
The movie is titled Dracula: A Love Tale, and is described as a “a big-budget reimagining” of the vampire's origin story.
Deadline has shared a first look at the movie, giving us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Jones in his armor, presumably as a pre-vampire Prince Vlad "The Impaler" Tepes.
“It’s a totally romantic approach,” Besson says of his adaptation. “There’s a romantic side in Bram Stoker’s book that hasn’t been explored that much. It’s a love story about a man who waits for 400 years for the reincarnation of his wife. That’s the true heart of the story, waiting an eternity for the return of love.”

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fox’s X-Men franchise was considered the greatest superhero film ever. The series gave a new dimension to the genre, which studios did not take seriously until then. The Patrick Stewart-starrer often gained positive reviews for its action, faithfulness to the source material, and performances.
However, one film from the franchise seemingly began its downfall as it was negatively received by fans. X-Men: The Last Stand is often regarded as one of the worst in the franchise due to its unfocused screenplay. Fans still seem to be annoyed at the film for killing off Scott Summers in the first few minutes of the film.

After the recent failures of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it looks like they are ready to take over the box office with a string of exciting projects that are coming the fans’ way. The excitement for Deadpool & Wolverine has not diminished, Marvel has decided to drop the trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, featuring Giancarlo Esposito and Harrison Ford, two new faces in the superhero franchise.

X-Men: Days of Future Past could easily be termed the best movie out of all the films in the X-Men film series, with its critically acclaimed score from both critics and the general audience. But even in its final form that was seen on the big screens, there were some elements missing that had actually been shot but never made it to the final cut.

One of these scenes included Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a rather unpredictable position with another Marvel actress. As seen in a recently resurfaced deleted clip from the movie, Halle Berry’s Storm was seen engaged in a passionate lip-lock scene with Jackman’s mutant, following which she quite literally screams in joy at the gravity of what she had just done.

Elliot Page is heading back home amid tense family dynamics in the trailer for the drama feature Close to You.
Greenwich Entertainment releases writer-director Dominic Savage’s movie in theaters Aug. 16 following its premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. Page stars as Sam, a trans man who returns home for a family reunion and reconnects with an old friend.
“I’m going home for my dad’s birthday,” Page says in the trailer. “I haven’t gone back in close to four years.” Later, Page laments, “I know I’m nothing but a disappointment to them.”
At one point in the footage, Sam’s mom (played by Wendy Crewson) admits, “I just still think of you as my little girl.”
Savage wrote and directed the film, with Page credited for his work on the story. Savage, Page, Daniel Bekerman, Krishnendu Majumdar, Richard Yee and Chris Yurkovich serve as producers.

Hugh Jackman. The man known for bringing the character of Wolverine alive has been alleged to retire from the character after Deadpool & Wolverine. However, not all hope is lost.

Before delving into the finer details, we wish to tell you that these are just speculations and cannot be confirmed or denied at the moment. With that being said, Hugh Jackman might not ‘completely’ retire from the role of Wolverine.

To delve into this theory, we need to go back to the time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe announced the concept of the Multiverse. Different characters, merging storylines, and, intertwining fates are all a part of this ever-expanding universe.

In 2012, Andrew Garfield entered the Marvel universe to play one of the franchise’s most celebrated heroes, Spider-Man. The British star, who infused a relatable dose of wit and emotion to his portrayal, ensured that his performance resulted in the film’s success at the box office. In 2014, he reunited with director Marc Webb for a sequel that unfortunately did do as well as the first film.

While looking back at the movie’s lukewarm box office response, it now seems that its fate was predestined. Apart from being sandwiched between two marquee 2014 films like Captain America: The Winter Solider and X-Men: Days Of Future Past, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was also put under added pressure by Sony to create box office history, which in retrospect, would have been an impossible mountain to climb.

When our first look at Deadpool & Wolverine was released last July (it's close to a year to the day), jaws were left on the floor with the reveal that Hugh Jackman's Logan would don his comic-accurate yellow costume.
The closest we'd ever come to that was a deleted scene from The Wolverine which teased the idea of the clawed mutant one day suiting up. Unfortunately, by the time X-Men: Days of Future Past rolled around a year later, Logan was back in black leather.
Jackman has said he was keen to finally suit up in Deadpool & Wolverine, but it turns out that it wasn't his idea. In fact, it wasn't Ryan Reynolds' or filmmaker Shawn Levy's either; instead, it was down to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.
"He said, 'Yes, but he wears the yellow. Can he finally wear the yellow?'" Levy told fans in Shanghai,...

2023 has been labeled by many as one of the worst years for superhero fiction in quite sometime. Despite hits on the big screen like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and great shows on streaming like Invincible, 2023 largely saw an alarming increase in the use of the term ‘superhero fatigue’ in online spaces.

Marvel has not been coping very well with the sudden loss of direction after Phase Three and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are ready to fix that with the launch of Deadpool & Wolverine. But with the premiere of the superhero movie also comes a baggage full of hard truths and shocking revelations.

Lionsgate has just released the first official trailer for Flight Risk, an upcoming action-thriller from 2x Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson (Braveheart; Apocalypto; Hacksaw Ridge) that stars 2x Academy Award-nominee Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter; The Departed; Ted) in the lead role as a pilot that may not be who he seems...
The synopsis reads, "In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Mark Wahlberg plays a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem."
While the plot is fairly straightforward, it promises a wealth of thrills this coming October, which is shaping up to be quite a busy month on the release calendar with the debuts of Joker: Folie à Deux (October 4), White Bird (October 4), Terrifier 3 (October 11), Piece by Piece (October 11), We Live in Time (October...

Patrick Stewart has gained a lot of respect in Hollywood. He has starred in many notable roles over the years. He has played saviors and heroes, been a martyr, and even been an advisor to an emperor. His reputation and talent have earned him a lot of respect, so much so, that he was even knighted by Queen Elizabeth herself.

Jennifer Lawrence is pretty much one of the most tremendous leading actresses in all of Hollywood, leaving everyone baffled by not only her excellent onscreen performances but also her offscreen quirky antics. Throughout her 17-year-long career, she has effortlessly made her way to the top through the same and even holds three Academy Award nominations and one win.

Moreover, she is continuing to go strong and seems to be on the way to finally matching the same record that stands as her rival turned best friend Emma Watson’s biggest achievement as an actress: Having worked with two of the greatest production companies of all time, A24 and Apple Original Film. This is because her next project is being produced by the same companies!

Kylo Ren wasn’t an easy character to portray. Being a warrior who was strong with The Force, not many actors could have better portrayed the complexity of Kylo Ren other than Adam Driver. Being an iconic actor, Driver portrayed the role beautifully and the world loved him for it.

X-Men: The Last Stand tried to adapt two big comic book storylines with "The Dark Phoenix Saga" and "The Cure," only to ultimately do neither of them justice (a fact that haunted writer Simon Kinberg to the extent he tried again with Dark Phoenix...and failed a second time).
The 2006 movie was a critical and commercial disappointment and, five years later, 20th Century Fox decided to reboot the franchise with X-Men: First Class.
The prequel revisited the formation of the X-Men, meaning everyone aside from Hugh Jackman - who made a brief cameo appearance - was recast. That included Beast actor Kelsey Grammer.
He'd eventually reprise the role for a surprise cameo in X-Men: Days of Future Past, but with Nicholas Hoult taking his place, that seemed to be the end of the road for Grammer. Well, until a shocking return in The Marvels' post-credits scene last November!

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is generating significant anticipation as one of the most exciting upcoming projects in the MCU. Scheduled for release in 2024, it’s already drawing praise from those who have seen previews, with expectations high for its impact on the franchise’s reputation.
As with any highly anticipated project, rumors abound regarding potential cameos, variants, and plot elements, with some confirmations, such as Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, and others still under speculation, supported by mounting evidence. To provide clarity, let’s explore the confirmed and rumored cameos and variants expected in the film.
Aaron Stanford – John Allerdyce/Pyro (Confirmed)
Aaron Stanford’s return was initially speculated, along with a few other minor X-Men villains, though his appearance was later confirmed in the trailer. While he only briefly appears on screen, his unmistakable costume leaves no doubt about his identity. Earlier this year, he had denied any involvement in the movie.

Alan Cumming played Nightcrawler in 2003's X2: X-Men United, though the role ended up being a one-and-done for the actor. He didn't return for X-Men: The Last Stand and was also absent from X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Later, Kodi Smit-McPhee replaced Cumming as a younger version of Kurt Wagner, portraying the teleporting mutant in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Unfortunately, we never got anything quite as memorable as the original Nightcrawler's attack on the White House.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly about his status as a queer actor, Cumming reflected on his superhero movie debut and explained why he believes the X-Men sequel is by far his "gayest film."
"Oh, I think the X-Men film I'm in [2003’s X2: X-Men United,] is the gayest film that I've ever done. It's got a queer director, lots of queer actors in it," he tells the site. "I love the fact that something...

Patrick Stewart was more popular than Hugh Jackman when Bryan Singer approached him to play Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men. For Star Trek fans, he was the famous Captain Jean-Luc Picard from The Next Generation. 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.

The Doctor Strange 2 actor believed that he had already done enough science fiction and fantasy films with the Star Trek projects. However, Singer convinced him that X-Men wouldn’t be anything like his previous works. Stewart revealed that he never regretted his choice to join the films.

Jennifer Lawrence is inevitably one of those high-profile star-studded celebrities in the entertainment industry, getting under the spotlight every now and then because of her impeccable charm and incredibly down-to-earth personality. Besides the tremendous talent she possesses, she is also not new to pulling stunts like showing up all-natural to an audition for a movie.

Yes, Lawrence actually did show up without makeup and skimpy outfits to the audition as she felt that was exactly what the role of Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone required of her. But what’s surprising is that while the actress did everything in her power to score the iconic role that even scored her an Oscar nod, her efforts weren’t reciprocated equally and she was paid only $10,000.

Marvel fans have been anticipating the return of several characters in the upcoming, Deadpool & Wolverine. Since the film introduces and plays with the concept of the multiverse, the possibilities are endless when it comes to who exactly is going to show up and who isn’t. With this, fans have been looking forward to two faces making their way into the film; one making a comeback, and the other potentially getting an introduction.

You don't need all your fingers to count the Marvel Comics stories more influential than "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
In the dark future of 2013, America has been conquered by the mutant-hunting Sentinel robots. Most of the X-Men are gone, mutants live in concentration camps, and the world stands on its nuclear brink as the other nations prepare to strike against the Sentinels. To prevent this apocalypse, X-Woman Kate Pryde travels back in time.
You see, things went to Hell on Halloween 1980. Mystique and her Brotherhood of Evil Mutants assassinated anti-mutant Senator Robert Kelly, intent on showing humanity they will supplant them as the Cro-Magnon did the Neanderthal. Instead, this event inflamed anti-mutant sentiment and led to the Sentinel takeover. If Kelly isn't assassinated, maybe this awful future will never happen.
"Days of Future Past" was Byrne's penultimate story on his original "X-Men" and he goes with a banger.

There were many reasons why The Walt Disney Company merged with 21st Century Fox, with the rights to the Fantastic Four and X-Men franchises a small, yet crucial part of the $71.3 billion deal.
Marvel Studios will release The Fantastic Four reboot next year and recently found a writer for its take on the X-Men. While the quality of Fox's Marvel movies fell off a cliff with the likes of Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants, the studio also produced more than a few critical and commercial hits.
Fox had plenty of bold ideas for the Marvel characters it held the rights to before Marvel Studios pulled the plug on them. In this feature, we're revisiting the most intriguing, exciting, and sometimes awful-sounding projects which, in another timeline, you may have watched in a theater by now.

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and the box office is looking grim. The “Mad Max” prequel “Furiosa” is on track to score the lowest No. 1 Memorial Day weekend in nearly three decades, since 1998’s “Casper,” with an estimated $31 million take. But traditionally, the holiday weekend is a big one for moviegoing – kids are out of school, adults have three days off and the summer movie season is ready to roll.
For that reason, it feels like a good time to look back at the highest-grossing Memorial Day weekend box office openings of all time, dating back to 1996. Now it’s important to note these are Memorial Day weekend openings not Memorial Day weekend box office champions – “The Day After Tomorrow” pulled in over $85 million when it opened in 2004, but the top film at the box office for the holiday weekend was holdover “Shrek 2.”

Fox’s X-Men movies have been integral to bringing the mutants to live-action, laying the groundwork for the live-action debut of several other Marvel characters. While the movies showed that tales of mutants are well-liked by the audience, they are at the same time among the most criticized Marvel movies. From their inconsistent quality to lack of character representation, there are several things fans found an issue with.
