It appears Marvel may have another collaboration on its way with Marvel rumoured to have discussed the possibility of cross-overs with 20th Century Fox. Fox owns the film rights to the X-Men characters, Fantastic Four and the extremely popular Deadpool which was released earlier this year.
X-Meh. Crapocalypse. We’ve heard all the jokes. And honestly, they’re pretty well deserved as X-Men: Apocalypse may have moments of greatness, but it is most definitely not a great movie. Which is a shame after the great one-two combo of X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past breathed such fresh life into the stagnating franchise. So what went wrong? In my opinion, the …
It’s been a while since we told you that Marvel and Fox (the rights holders of the X-Men universe on the big and small screen) are working together to create two shows based on X-Men properties – Hellfire, based around the secretive Hellfire Club whose members frequently clash with the X-Men, and Legion, a show focusing on David Haller – …

Apocalypse is a lot of “been-there-done-that”. There are some high points, for sure, and a lot of low points, but the whole doesn’t seem to …
The list of crimes against geekdom perpetrated by 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand is well documented and lengthy, but its most heinous offence is arguably its butchering of one of the greatest comic book stories ever told. Released in 1980, writer Chris Claremont and artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne’s “The Dark Phoenix Saga” is an epic space-heavy tale with …
Gambit is one of my favourite characters from the X-Men and the failure to bring a decent version of the character to screen (I don’t really consider the Taylor Kitsch rendition in X-Men Origins: Wolverine a true version of Gambit) remains a frustration of mine. And it seems that frustration is set to continue for longer as the planned Gambit …
