Does an actor need to be familiar with a franchise in order to want to join it? Not according to Madelaine Petsch, who's made it clear she wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite admitting she's never seen a Marvel movie.

Petsch, who broke out with her performance as Cheryl Blossom on the hit television series Riverdale, currently stars as Maya Lucas in the new Strangers trilogy, with The Strangers: Chapter 1 opening in 2024 and The Strangers: Chapter 2 opening on Sept. 26, 2025. She now has her sights on the MCU, specifically the X-Men.

Speaking with The Direct to promote The Strangers: Chapter 2, Petsch was asked which superhero she'd like to play, and she said, "Jean Grey, obviously." Petsch admits she's unfamiliar with the character's existing big-screen outings, saying, "I've not seen many Marvel films. 'Many' is an operative term for zero, but I have been seeing some fan casts for Jean Grey,...

Ryan Reynolds has never been shy about trolling Marvel fans or teasing upcoming news or releases, but this time, he might have actually teased something special. The Deadpool & Wolverine star dropped a cryptic image on Instagram: the Avengers “A” logo painted over with a red anarchist “A”. No caption. No explanation. For most people, that’s just random graphic design. But for MCU fans, it’s basically saying “Deadpool is crashing Avengers: Doomsday.” Disney is reportedly planning a second cast reveal for Doomsday on August 27, similar to the live-stream stunt they pulled months ago with rows of empty chairs tagged with actor names. Back then, it was a fun guessing game. This time, the internet sleuths over on r/MCUTheories think they’ve already cracked the code: the missing Fox X-Men actors. One fan put it plainly: “Really hoping for Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin and...

Liam Neeson’s 2008 action-thriller Taken is now available to stream on Hulu, having been added to the platform’s library this August. The film, directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, helped redefine Neeson as a major action star.

In Taken, Neeson plays Bryan Mills, a former CIA agent whose teenage daughter Kim and her friend Amanda are kidnapped by human traffickers while on vacation in France. Determined to rescue them, Bryan uses all his skills to track down the kidnappers and save the girls.

The movie also stars Maggie Grace, Leland Orser, Jon Gries, David Warshofsky, Katie Cassidy, Holly Valance, and Famke Janssen.

The film first hit theaters in France on February 27, 2008. Though it received mixed reviews from critics, it became a big financial success, making $226 million worldwide on a budget of just $25 million.

Many media outlets have said Taken was a turning...

In a full-circle moment, James Marsden is returning to the role that first put him “on the map.”

The Paradise actor and newly minted Emmy nominee sat down with Vanity Fair recently to discuss reprising his X-Men character Cyclops in the Russo Brothers’ forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

“I’m getting a little long in the tooth to put on the superhero costume,” he said, laughing. “I was excited because you’re a part of something gigantic, and I’ve spent 20 years listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?'”

The Westworld and Dead to Me alum continued, “I’m dead. Well, maybe not. I’m going to have a tough time struggling to get into costume if they waited a couple more years. So it’s been a blast. It really has. It’s been a nice little homecoming to...

With “Paradise,” James Marsden received an Emmy nomination for playing the leader of the United States — but it’s not the first time we’ve seen him sitting in the driver’s seat. Soon, Marvel fans will see the actor once again portraying the leader of the X-Men as well.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Marsden opened up a bit about “Avengers: Doomsday” and his anticipated return to his earliest iconic role: Scott Summers (a.k.a. Cyclops) in 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men” film series.

“I’m getting a little long in the tooth to put on the superhero costume,” Marsden laughed. “I was excited because you’re a part of something gigantic, and I’ve spent 20 years listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?’ I’m dead. Well, maybe not.”

Marsden is one of several 2000s...

Of all the returning X-Men lined up for Avengers: Doomsday, few got fans more excited than James Marsden coming back to portray Scott Summers/Cyclops in what is bound to be one of next year's most massive movie releases. He's always been a fan favorite in the role, but he's also been frequently shortchanged by the X-Men films he's appeared in. To say he never really got to have his moments in the franchise would be an understatement, but Doomsday might afford him that overdue opportunity, something Marsden is very excited about as he gets behind the visor again.

During a chat with Vanity Fair, Marsden spoke about the current stage of his career, which has seen him earning some stellar reviews for Paradise — plus a Primetime Emmy Award nomination, his second after his hilarious turn on Jury Duty. Another part of this current stage is his return as Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday,...

Last year, Deadpool & Wolverine broke the box office with a sendoff for the 20th Century Fox Marvel universe that was both loving and laugh-worthy. In the middle of it was a reunion between Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and X-23, played by Dafne Keen, that helped honor the legacy of the acclaimed Logan one last time. Now that the dust has settled on the multiverse-hopping adventure, Keen has opened up about what it meant to reunite Logan and Laura again for the MCU, and she has some thoughts about the future of the X-Men. Speaking to Collider's Perri Nemiroff alongside her co-star Sophie Nélisse for their new film Whistle at the live Collider Ladies Night at San Diego Comic-Con, she joined in on the fancasting fun for the mutant team with an intriguing nomination for the role of Mystique.

Before talking about what's to come, she was asked to reflect on...

Marvel Studios is quickly advancing with its MCU X-Men project, and the latest casting rumors suggest that three actresses are in the mix for the omega-level mutant Jean Grey. Jean Grey is a core character to the X-Men team, often depicted as being in a relationship with fellow X-Men member Scott Summers/Cyclops, and as one of the most powerful team members thanks to her connection to the cosmic Phoenix Force. Several notable stars have portrayed Jean Grey in past X-Men films, including Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner, making the character's MCU casting one of the hottest in town. 

Marvel

Several rumors have been circulating about Marvel's new X-Men film of late, including that Jake Schreier is being eyed as the director, but fans are eager to see the actors who will take on the McU's new generation of mutant heroes. On a recent episode of The Hot Mic with John Rocha,...

A year before he became a pop culture icon as Doc Brown in Back to the Future, Christopher Lloyd also played the Klingon captain Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The third Star Trek movie with the original series cast was a direct follow-up to Wrath of Khan, and was directed by Leonard Nimoy.

Lloyd played the Klingon commander who is in search of the Genesis planet and is a ruthless leader who does not take failure lightly. The actor mentioned that he had a lot of fun playing the part and had to come to set as early as 4 Am to put on the makeup for the role (via Variety).

I’d come to the Paramount Studio at four in the morning to get that makeup put on — the way it built up my forehead — and then the costume. How can you not feel like you...

Twenty-five years ago, the evolution of comic book movies leaped forward. On July 14, 2000, Marvel Comics' not-so-merry band of mutants, the X-Men, made their way from the comic pages to the big screen, changing the company's cinematic fortunes and making the box office safe for the team-based superhero movies that would follow years later.

It should be noted off the top that Blade ice-skated uphill so that X-Men could run downhill to franchise-launching success. Wesley Snipes' 1998 vampire movie brought the comic-book movie genre back from the brink of extinction courtesy of the mega-bomb that was 1997's Batman & Robin. Blade was also the first Marvel Comics-derived film that didn't fall into direct-to-video hell like failed versions of Captain America and The Punisher, and Roger Corman's never-released take on the Fantastic Four.

Still, X-Men's existence was far from guaranteed even after Blade pointed a way forward for Marvel.

The James Bond movie franchise is alive and well, and there’s a possibility that Sydney Sweeney will be the next Bond girl. There’s always a Bond girl, and in No Time to Die, Madeleine Swann, portrayed by Léa Seydoux, was the chosen one. Read on for more information.

Why Sydney For The Role?

On Saturday this weekend, The Sun US revealed that there’s a good chance for Sydney Sweeney to land the role. Bear in mind that these days, the Bond girl isn’t necessarily a distressed, helpless woman who needs saving. Moving with the times, strong actresses play the roles of antagonists, mistresses, and villains. Can anyone forget Famke Janssen (Xenia Onatopp), who killed men with her thighs?

Sweeney is friendly with Denis Villeneuve – The Late Show With Stephen Colbert – YouTube

It helps that Sydney Sweeney knows Denis Ville­neuve the new Bond director as a friend.

Marvel fans are currently gearing up for The Fantastic Four: First Steps later this month. However, Avengers: Doomsday is also in the middle of filming. The next Avengers film is set to bring multiple factions of the MCU’s multiverse together, including Fox’s X-Men, which ushered in a new era for superhero films back in the early 2000s. A ton of fan-favorite X-Men actors are returning for the epic team-up. Now, ahead of its Christmas 2026 release date, theX-Men are getting festive new holiday season Pops.

There are three new Pops in Funko's Marvel Christmas “HoliDivas” collection. There's Jean Grey, Storm, and Rogue. Each has a unique seasonal vibe to them. Jean Grey is wearing a candy cane scarf and wrapping a present, Storm is wearing a matching winter beanie while building a Wolverine snowman, and Rogue is flying with a red scarf as she holds two presents in her hands.

The news cycle has understandably been dominated by Superman over the past couple of weeks, so we thought we'd break things up a little with a good ol' X-Men casting rumor.

Now that Marvel Studios' long-awaited reboot has assigned a director in Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts*), casting is expected to begin very soon (if it hasn't already), and we now have another name to add to the list of actors that have been mentioned in connection with the key role of Jean Grey.

On this week's episode of The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider mentioned that Elle Fanning might be in the mix to play the powerful mutant, who was previously portrayed in live-action by Famke Janssen in the original 20th Century Fox movies and Sophie Turner in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.

Fanning's recent projects include A Complete Unknown, All The Bright Places, and Hulu's The Great, for which she...

Destination X is winding down its first season on NBC and Peacock, but one of the show’s final episodes just got an exciting new look. Collider is pleased to partner with NBC to debut a new sneak peek at Destination X, Episode 7, which will air on Tuesday, July 8, at 10 pm Est and begin streaming on Peacock the following day. The show, hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, follows a group of contestants who embark on an international adventure loaded with mind games and surprise ultimatums. Strangers must board a blacked-out bus for a thrilling trek across Europe. With no clue where they are or where they’re going, players must rely on their surroundings, pop culture, and geographical knowledge to correctly identify their location. If they aren’t able to figure out where they are, elimination looms.

Netflix is passing the Dutchie to Famke Janssen for its upcoming cannabis drama Amsterdam Empire. The new project finds Janssen’s character, Betty, building a new life and getting revenge after discovering her husband’s infidelity.

Speaking with Variety at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, Janssen said, “My character, Betty, is a former pop star from the 90s who had one hit called ‘Forever.’ Her husband owns the biggest weed empire. Then she finds out he’s cheated with a younger woman, and now, she’s pregnant. He wants to buy her off with some money, but she won’t come after the money: she’ll come after the whole weed empire. And destroy him in the process.”

While Betty is out to make her ex’s life miserable, that’s not the only thing concerning her character. Betty is more than her anger. She’s smart and calculating and won...

Famke Janssen gets a meaty role in upcoming weed-centered crime drama “Amsterdam Empire,” heading to Netflix later this year.

“My character, Betty, is a former pop star from the 90s who had one hit called ‘Forever.’ Her husband owns the biggest weed empire. Then she finds out he’s cheated with a younger woman and now, she’s pregnant,” she tells Variety at Monte-Carlo Television Festival.

“He wants to buy her off with some money, but she won’t come after the money: she’ll come after the whole weed empire. And destroy him in the process.”

Betty has a score to settle, but Janssen says: “She’s not enraged the whole time. I wanted to make sure of that, because it could get a little tiresome. But I also thought: ‘Go and get it,’” she laughs.

“I wanted to challenge myself, even by doing a music video and learning to dance and sing.

Recently, Kevin Smith opened up about whether he had any major regrets in his 30-plus years making movies, and his answer was—expectedly—not making Superman Lives. While the DC Universe is littered with scrapped film and television projects, none are more infamous. The unmade film would have starred Nicolas Cage as the Man of Steel, and one of the candidates to direct was Robert Rodriguez. Notably, the film suffered a lot of production setbacks, including multiple changes in directing and writing staff. This ultimately affected Smith himself when new project director Tim Burton chose Wesley Strick to replace him.

Nearly three decades later, Smith still speaks of Superman Lives as a great what-if. He explained: "If I could make anything that didn't happen, happen, I think it would be that." He then clarified that he felt this was largely "because [he] didn't have the pressure of directing the movie" himself.

The Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal saw Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Deadpool & Wolverine's Channing Tatum (Gambit) all board the movie.

Characters like Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), Storm (Halle Berry), and Rogue (Anna Paquin) are all notable by their absence, as is Hugh Jackman's Wolverine (though we got a potentially positive update on that front yesterday). We expect to see a bigger X-Men team than the one above, perhaps with a few new Multiversal Variants added to the mix for good measure.

Back to those confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, and Cumming's Nightcrawler remains one of the most beloved characters from the X-Men franchise, despite only appearing in 2003's X2: X-Men United.

The teleporter's attack on the White House is rightly considered iconic, so the actor reprising the role in Avengers: Doomsday is incredibly exciting...

In the battle of super spy dominance, the two names at the top of the table (unless Jason Bourne turns up with a rolled-up newspaper) are James Bond and Ethan Hunt. 007 might have a few years on Tom Cruise's Impossible Mission Force member, but since the latter arrived on screens in 1996, the competition has always been there and might never stop, even after "Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning." While the argument might rage on, though, there are a handful of fortunate souls who are lucky enough to give perhaps the best comparison possible, given that they've inhabited both of those worlds. Yes, over the eight "Mission: Impossible" movies and 27 Bond films, some actors have dared to get a taste of danger by dabbling in both their worlds, crossing paths with both Ethan Hunt and James Bond sometimes mere years apart.

These appearances are comprised of some blink-or-you'll-miss-it moments...

A couple of months ago, the Marvel Studios social media accounts started live-streaming a video they labeled as an all-caps Announcement. The video showed a soundstage where, one by one, chairs reserved for actors were revealed, with a new chair coming into view every 10 minutes or so. As it turns out, this was a very long and slow way of revealing (a large chunk of) the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, which is now in production and aiming for a December 18, 2026 release date (having moved back from its previously announced May release date). The names of twenty-seven cast members were shown that day, with Marvel teasing, “There’s always room for more…” And we have reason to expect there are a whole lot more, because a large number of characters we would expect to see in the movie were not in the mix that day. Not only that, but the movie...

Marvel Studios' recent Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal included a few surprising names, but the actors who weren't mentioned raised just as many questions.

If you've been keeping up with rumors relating to the 2026 MCU event film, you may have been anticipating the casts of Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps as well as a couple of X-Men characters (we had heard that both Kelsey Grammer and Sir Patrick Stewart were set to return after their respective appearances in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvels), but we were not expecting quite so many mutants.

Joining Stewart and Grammer will be Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, and Channing Tatum as Gambit.

Tatum made his MCU debut in Deadpool and Wolverine, but Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were not announced as part of the Doomsday cast.

Earlier this week, we got a first look at what appeared to be a downed Sentinel on the set of Avengers: Doomsday. Now, we have a birds-eye view offering a clearer shot at the mutant-hunting robot's legs (in what's believed to be the X-Mansion's grounds).

We also have reason to believe that we'll see the remains of more than one Sentinel, as you can see below.

Unfortunately, the legs are still covered up, but the photographer who took these shots has confirmed that the footprints they've seen elsewhere on set match the Sentinel design from the comics.

Sentinels attacking the X-Men's home is par for the course in the comics, so this could be part of a major battle we'll see in the movie or the fallout from a previous battle. We also wouldn't discount the possibility of this being a Danger Room training exercise meant to show us what...

The MCU has reportedly found its new Jean Grey, following Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner. According to the latest buzz, Daisy Edgar-Jones is being eyed by the Kevin Feige studio. Such a report before the release of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars seemingly confirms the Twisters actress’s MCU debut soon.

Daisy Edgar-Jones gained huge popularity after starring in the BBC limited series, Normal People. Following that, she also played prominent roles in Where the Crawdads Sing and Twisters. As the MCU is slowly going into the Mutant Era, Edgar-Jones will likely see another significant role in her career.

As exciting as it was to see Marvel Studios reveal the cast of Avengers: Doomsday at the end of March, even more intriguing for fans was who didn't get a mention.

There was no Hugh Jackman, Tom Holland, Ryan Reynolds, or Elizabeth Olsen (to name just a handful of absentees), prompting speculation about whether they're being kept under wraps or perhaps saved for Avengers: Secret Wars.

Comic Con Liverpool has announced that Captain Marvel star Brie Larson is the headline guest at its November show, leaving many to wonder whether the Oscar-winner will be in the UK at the time to shoot Avengers: Doomsday.

Adding further fuel to the fire is the fact that pretty much the entire Ahsoka cast attended last weekend's Comic Con Liverpool event, and they're all currently in the UK working on season 2.

While it may be a coincidence, it does seem likely that Larson will...

Vince Vaughn just dropped an update on the future of his new Apple TV+ series, Bad Monkey. Vaughn’s new comedy debuted near the end of last summer to strong reviews, earning a 93% from critics and an 80% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it took Apple TV+ two months after the Season 1 finale to renew the series for Season 2. The show comes from writer/creator Bill Lawrence, who’s also known for his work on Scrubs and, more recently, Ted Lasso. During a recent interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to promote his new Netflix movie, Nonnas, Vaughn revealed when Bad Monkey Season 2 begins filming, and also how much of the second season has been outlined thus far:

"We will start filming this year. I think they have the outline for the first four episodes. I don't want to give away too much because we kind of left it in...

Marvel Studios delivered plenty of exciting surprises during the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal, including the return of some familiar faces from 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise. There were some huge omissions, though, and even with production underway, it feels like this ensemble is far from complete.

While Kevin Feige has confirmed it wasn't the full cast, one of the most disappointing omissions was Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox.

Talking to Collider, the actor was asked about not getting a chair and replied, "It’s not there, is it? [Laughs] Listen, the way that information gets to us is the same way that it gets to everyone else normally. At least historically, that's been the case. Someone sent me the link. I looked for my name. It's not there. So, maybe one day [Laughs]."

During his appearance at the Time 100 Summit last month, Ryan Reynolds seemed to suggest that he'd already begun work on his next Deadpool adventure, and it looks like we may now know what that might be.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Deadpool & Wolverine star/writer/producer has been quietly developing a film that would see his fan-favorite Merc with a Mouth team-up with the X-Men. 

He's still exploring ideas and has been writing a variety of treatments in his effort to crack the story for what would be an ensemble film that would feature at least three or four prominent X-Men characters. He would still appear as Deadpool, albeit in a supporting role rather than as the main lead.

According to their sources, Reynolds believes keeping his loud-mouthed hero adjacent to the spotlight could allow the X-Men characters to be used in more unique and unexpected ways, which is certainly an exciting prospect.

Avengers: Doomsday started shooting in the UK earlier this week, and the cast just assembled for a screening of Thunderbolts*.

Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu was the first to share a photo on social media, and fans were quick to point out that he's likely revealed Robert Downey Jr.'s look for his role as the McU's Victor Von Doom.

The actor—thankfully—isn't rocking Tony Stark's trademark goatee and instead has short grey hair and no beard whatsoever. Of course, if the Russo Brothers are doing it right, we either won't see Doctor Doom's face or, if we do, it will be hideously scarred.

However, if Doom wins the day, then he may heal his face and unmask in Avengers: Secret Wars. That would differ from the comics where, even as "God" on Battleworld, he was unable to fix his scars, with Mister Fantastic doing so when he put the Multiverse back together.

Back in March, Marvel Studios released a video which gradually revealed the sprawling cast of Avengers: Doomsday. Several names were notable by their absence, but we were told that another announcement was imminent.

Officially returning for the next major MCU event movie will be:

Paul Rudd as Ant-Man; Simu Liu as Shang-Chi; Tom Hiddleston as Loki; Lewis Pullman as Sentry; Florence Pugh as Yelena; Danny Ramirez as Falcon; Ian McKellen as Magneto; Sebastian Stan as Bucky; Winston Duke as M’Baku; Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Kelsey Grammer as Beast; James Marsden as Cyclops; Channing Tatum as Gambit; Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm; Rebecca Romijn as Mystique; Patrick Stewart as Professor X; Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler; Letitia Wright as Black Panther; Tenoch Huerta Mejia as Namor; Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards; Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost; Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm; David Harbour as Red Guardian...

Avengers: Doomsday will be the ultimate crossover event for longtime Marvel fans, bringing back the original X-Men crew as well as other fan-favorites from a bygone era of the superhero genre. In addition to casting a bevy of X-Men actors, Doomsday will be getting some veteran superhero talent behind the camera. Fortunately, it seems that the next Avengers sequel will look like an X-Men film in more ways than one.

According to several reports, veteran cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel will reunite with the Russo Brothers on Avengers: Doomsday after working on Cherry in 2021. His previous credits also include X-Men: Days of Future Past, Drive, Da 6 Bloods, and many more. His wide-ranging resume also includes Bohemian Rhapsody, but we doubt there will be musicals in Doomsday. Sigel is an especially logical choice due to his previous working relationship with the directors on Cherry, as well as shooting what is widely regarded...

Fans assemble! The multiverse just got a whole lot more Evans-sive.

After previously watching Chris Evans appear in Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, we all got the urge to see more of him in the MCU. But sadly, Evans’ Captain America had retired, and Johnny Storm died in Ryan Reynolds’ threequel. So that’s where all our hopes subsided.

However, recently, the legendary comic writer Chris Claremont casually spilled the superhero tea during a panel at the Huntsville Pop Culture Expo 2025. According to him, the upcoming Avengers movie is going full-on Marvel madness and bringing Chris Evans in multiple roles, including his appearance as Captain Hydra.

Chris Claremont dropped spoilers about Avengers: Doomsday casting

Oh yes, things got real. For everyone coming across Chris Evans’ casting rumor surrounding Avengers: Doomsday via the Og video, tweets, or our article—yes, we heard it as well. Chris Claremont just leaked half the MCU’s secret playbook.

Last month, Marvel Studios announced that Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Deadpool & Wolverine's Channing Tatum (Gambit) will all star in Avengers: Doomsday.

The news excited fans, but that feels like a roster of X-Men that's far from complete. Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), Storm (Halle Berry), and Rogue (Anna Paquin) are all notable by their absence, as is Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. 

It's previously been reported that Berry is close to signing up to reprise her role as Ororo Munroe, but scooper @MyTimeToShineH's latest update suggests otherwise. 

"No Halle Berry in Avengers Doomsday, For Now," the scooper writes. "Since right now they are only filming scenes with the cast we heard about during the announcement."

If it's true that the cast announced are the only ones currently signed up for Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel Studios will...

Not long after The Walking Deadboss Scott M. Gimple said he believes the franchise could extend into the 2040s and potentially even beyond, the future of the zombie-ridden universe just got another exciting update. Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars in and reprises his role as Negan in The Walking Dead: Dead City, which is set to air its second season on May 4. The show is a sequel to the original Walking Dead series that follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan that has long been cut off from the outside world. During a recent interview with ScreenRant, Morgan recently previewed Negan’s arc in the upcoming second season, teasing how he’s become softer since we first met him in The Walking Dead:

"With Dead City, I don't know that it's the last year at all, but I think it's forming this character who,...

It’s been a big year so far for Jack Quaid, who has already starred in projects such as Companion and Novocaine, and now his next film just got an exciting new look. Collider is thrilled to partner with Rlje Films to unveil a new sneak peek at Neighborhood Watch, which releases in limited theaters and on digital platforms this weekend. The new clip from the film shows Ed (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) severely wounded as Simon (Quaid) tries to find him some help. The film follows Simon, a young man grappling with mental illness who becomes convinced he’s witnessed an abduction. However, when the police refuse to believe his report, he turns to his neighbor, Ed, a former security guard with a troubled past.

Neighborhood Watch comes from director Duncan Skiles (The Clovehitch Killer) and also stars Malin Akerman (Watchmen). The film was written by Sean Farley, with Luke Daniels,...

As we know, members of 20th Century Fox's original X-Men team are set to appear in Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday, and it sounds like they'll be ditching the black leather.

Scooper Daniel Richtman is reporting that the mutant heroes will don "more comic-accurate" costumes in the movie. He also claims that the X-Men will return for Avengers: Secret Wars.

We recently reported on a rumor that scenes are currently being shot at the X-Mansion, which Richtman confirms. Whether the Xavier Institute is the location we see in the recent set video and photos featuring what is believed to be a crashed spaceship and some broken statues is not clear.

Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn and James Marsden will all return for Doomsday. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Halle Berry (Storm) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) are also expected to appear, but have not been confirmed.

Though it...

Metaphorical and physical ‘doom’ is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Robert Downey Jr. ditching his old Iron Man armor and taking on a very different role as Victor von Doom. While Doctor Doom was once known as a Fantastic Four villain, his many years of scheming against (and occasionally allying with) the Avengers makes him the perfect replacement for Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror.

Even though plans for what was supposed to be Avengers: The Kang Dynasty have had to be overhauled, there’s the altogether more exciting prospect of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars breaking records. Fans were promised that a March 26 reveal would top the much-hyped announcement that Rdj was coming back, but little did we know what we were getting ourselves in for. Was anyone expecting a five-and-a-half-hour livestream with just a single actor stopping by?

Doomsday's cast reveal disappoints Tom Holland stars as...

Cameras are now rolling on Marvel Studios' next big event movie, Avengers: Doomsday, and a new report is claiming to reveal some intriguing details about the scenes currently being filmed.

According to scooper Mttsh, shooting is now underway at a practical set for the X-Mansion, aka the Xavier Institute. In the comics, this location is the private estate of Professor Charles Xavier and serves as the X-Men's base of operations and training site.

No photos from this set have been shared online (yet), but we have heard that the sequence being filmed shows the mansion "under attack."

The recent Doomsday cast announcement included members of the original X-Men line-up, Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn and James Marsden. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Halle Berry (Storm) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) are also expected to appear, but have not been confirmed.

Though it was generally assumed that the returning cast...

Ian McKellen’s Magneto is back and we couldn’t be more excited!

With only about a year left before Avengers: Doomsday hits the theaters, excitement is at an all-time high. Every single update so far has been mind-boggling, whether it is the Russo Brothers returning to direct or the extensive cast reveal. Now, a report is making rounds on the Internet talking about the role of X-Men in the film, especially Ian McKellen’s Magneto. It has already been confirmed that the actor will be returning to the screens to play the character of Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto.

While we wonder what his role may be in the plot, a Spanish source has released a report about it. Of course, a report or a rumor should not be taken as fact until Marvel Studios confirms it. But if there is any truth to this,...

Channing Tatum has finally talked about his involvement inAvengers: Doomsday, but is he actually playing Gambit? After years of trying to get a Gambit solo film off the ground, Tatum finally realized his lifelong dream of playing the iconic X-Men character in Deadpool & Wolverine. Tatum's Gambit was a scene-stealer, and many were shocked but delighted to see Tatum's name on the Avengers: Doomsday cast list.

At Cinema Con, Tatum spoke to Extra about his involvement in Avengers: Doomsday. Despite everyone assuming Tatum is playing Gambit in Avengers: Doomsday, Tatum did play coy with the fact that no character names were confirmed, only the actors involved. He says he might not be playing Gambit but a different character. However, he also doesn't deny he is playing Gambit. I'm just pointing out how nobody confirmed anything outside of the fact that he is in the movie. Tatum said:

"Personally, all I was guaranteed was a chair.

It seems that X marks the spot in Avengers: Doomsday, as fans of the original lineup of X-Men from Fox’s noughties era are in for a treat. While we know there’s not room for everyone, the lengthy Doomsday cast reveal confirmed the return of series staples Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart as Magneto and Professor X, joined by Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, James Marsden’s Cyclops, Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler, and Rebecca Romijn’s Mystique. Finally, more classic X-Men are officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The official Marvel Studios Instagram confirmed, “There’s always room for more,” in terms of others being added to the 27-strong Doomsday cast. More than just missing MCU mainstays like Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, a host of the Fox-era X-Men could be suiting up in the shadows. After Deadpool & Wolverine finally put Hugh Jackman’s...
