Olivia Munn as Psyclocke is ending up being one of my favorite casting choices.

Olivia Munn posted this on Twitter. She also did an interview recently where she revealed that it was her idea to make Psylocke's costume purple in the film. Originally it was going to be black, but she insisted on purple.

I wonder if we'll get the psychic battle that we were supposed to get between Charles and Emma in First Class, between Psylocke and Jean in this?

That trailer makes it look better than the last one.

I just got back from seeing this. I wasn't riding the Deadpool bandwagon like everyone else going into it, just because of all the comic book movies coming out this year, it was the one I cared about the least, but it was a lot of fun. From the trailer I thought Colossus would only be brought in to be made a joke of, but he was really cool, and so was Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who I didn't even realize that was supposed to be. I wish they had included more X-Men.

That just makes me sad that Bea Arthur isn't still alive.

Apparently Wolverine and X-Force are gonna have R-ratings now after the success of this. And it didn't even occur to me that Negasonic Teenage Warhead will probably be in New Mutants.

This movie was so good! Fox are really doing a great job of building their X-Men universe.

Wolverine 3 May Have Just Confirmed Two Huge Details

The end of an era is coming. Hugh Jackman will soon hang up his Wolverine claws and call it quits on the X-Men universe, and we have to say that has us downright devastated. Luckily there’s still some good news on the matter. New rumors have begun to swirl that the final outing for the fan favorite character will go places the fans have always wanted to see.

A new report from Den of Geek! indicates that Hugh Jackman’s final outing as the adamantium clawed X-Man will indeed shoot for an R-rating from the MPAA, and take inspiration from the iconic Marvel story Old Man Logan. The forces behind the film seem to have listened to the fans; months ago Hugh Jackman opened up a dialogue with his fans on social media to see exactly what they wanted out of his final outing as the character. Overwhelmingly people indicated that they wanted to see Wolverine really get his hands bloody with an R-rating, and for the story to be based on Old Man Logan – rather than retreading well worn Weapon X territory.



Old Man Logan takes place in a dystopian future where various super villains have taken control of the United States, and Logan has retired from being an X-Men. All of his former teammates have been killed, and the guilt over their deaths prevents him from ever popping out his claws or donning the persona of The Wolverine ever again. As far as graphic novels go, Old Man Logan is as violent as it is iconic, and the R-rating would pretty much be completely necessary in order to properly capture the spirit of the source material.

It’s worth noting that just because the film will reportedly take inspiration from Old Man Logan, that doesn’t mean that we can expect a true adaptation. Old Man Logan is a story that features numerous iconic Marvel characters such as Hawkeye, Hulk, and Red Skull. Due to the fact that Marvel Studios owns these characters – and it seems unlikely that some sort of Spider-Man deal will be reached with Wolverine – the odds of them showing up seem slim to none. The story could center upon an elderly Logan navigating his way through a dystopian future, but the movie will need to make some drastic changes.

You definitely have Wade Wilson to thank for this awesome news. While Wolverine 3 may still have gone for an R-rating regardless, the fact that Deadpool has become such a smash hit during its first week at the box office has shown FOX that R-rated characters – particularly ones filmed on smaller budgets – can yield massive box office results.

Wolverine’s the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn’t very nice. With so little time left to enjoy Hugh Jackman’s version of the iconic clawed X-Man, our hopes are high that he and director James Mangold will completely knock the character’s final solo film out of the park.

- Sophie Turner on How Her Jean Grey Will Differ From Famke Janssen's Version.

Entertainment Weekly features a new quote from X-MEN: APOCALYPSE actress Sophie Turner, who briefly explained how her version of Jean Grey – a powerful mutant telepath who is one of Professor Xavier's most-prized students – will differ from Famke Janssen's portrayal of the character in five previous films.

"The difference between this and Famke's Jean Grey is she's young and isolated and so insecure and very alienated – even from the other mutants – because she's so powerful," she said. "So there's a real vulnerability to her and it's great to see how her and Scott [Tye Sheridan] find each other through that alienation. She's a great role to play, she's so much fun, and her arc in the movie is amazing."

On Jean's evolution, producer Simon Kinberg told Empire last year, "Jean is complex, interesting and not fully mature. It's fun to see someone struggling with their powers when you know one day they'll become the most powerful person in the world."

Watch the evolution when 'Apocalypse' comes to theaters on May 27th!
