James McAvoy & Michael Fassbender Take A Look At The Internet’s Love Of Putting Their X-Men Characters Together In Gay Fan Art

By Leave a Comment


James McAvoy & Michael Fassbender gained a lot of fans as Professor X and Magneto in X-Men: First Class. However a lot of the internet isn’t satisfied with them purely ending up as frenemies – they want them to be banging one another on the side.

That has resulted in a lot of slash-fiction and homemade gay fan art.

However, what does it feel like to have stranger drawing pictures of you getting up close and person with your co-star? Well, Graham Norton decided to find out when he had McAvoy and Fassbender (and Hugh Jackman) on his chat show to promote the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

You can see what they thought above (and as so often with Norton’s show, it does seem to help that the guests are allowed to have a few drinks).

It has to be said though, compared to the pictures some people have drawn, the images they’re shown are a little tame. But what did you expect, this is mainstream UK TV after all?

David James Kelly Writing Wolverine 3, With Hugh Jackman Likely To Return

By Leave a Comment

wolverine-review-slideJust a few days ago director James Mangold revealed that after 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse, they’re already working on another standalone Wolverine movie. Since then Fox has moved fast to fill in the blanks, announcing that it’ll be in cinemas March 3rd, 2017 and Deadline adds that the studio has hired screenwriter David James Kelly to write the script.

What wasn’t clear when Mangold first mentioned Wolverine 3 was whether Hugh Jackman would be returning for this new movie. The actor has suggested several times that he planned to step away from his mutant character (at least for a while) following this year’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past – which marks the seventh film he’s played the role in (and it’s not known if he’ll also be in Apocalypse).

However Deadline claims that Jackman will be back, although it’s not clear if this is just a strong possibility or whether a contract is actually in the works.

Wolverine 3 Coming After X-Men: Apocalypse, But Will Hugh Jackman Return?

By Leave a Comment

The-Wolverine-preview-pic6Fox sure loves the X-Men. They’ve spent more on the upcoming Days Of Future Past than on any film in the studio’s history other than Avatar, and even though that film hasn’t been release yet, they’re already deep in development on X-Men: Apocalypse.

And it seems that’s not the end of the plans, as The Wolverine director James Mangold has tweeted that after that movie comes Apocalypse comes Wolverine 3.

He says, ‘@R__E__D_R__U__M @20centuryfox @ShuDonner We are figuring it all out. At the moment, I’m shooting The next #Wolverine after #XmenApocalypse.— Mangold (@mang0ld)’

That leaves some big questions though, the biggest of which being whether Hugh Jackman will star in it. He’s suggested that after Days Of Future Past he wants to take a break from the character. He’s been playing Wolverine now for 14 years in seven different movies, which is longer than anyone has stuck with a single superhero character. He may well be enticed back, but it’s likely Fox will move forward with the character whether Jackman is on board on not.

As Mangold point out on Twitter, ‘With cost of 117M and WW gross of 415M (#2 of all X’s), of course there’ll be another Wolverine solo. Manufactured internet drama is boring!’

However with two other mutant movies to hit cinemas before Wolverine 3, don’t expect it until 2017 at the earliest.

Rooney Mara Signs Up To Play Tiger Lily In Pan

By Leave a Comment

rooney-maraWarner Bros. is moving fast to get Pan into production, hoping to steal a march on a rival Peter Pan prequel that’s in the works at Disney. The film has Joe Wright set to direct, Hugh Jackman up to play the villainous Blackbeard, and Garrett Hedlund as Hook, who starts off as a good guy before turning bad.

Now the first female name has signed on, with Variety reporting that Rooney Mara is set to play Tiger Lily in the movie. Many actresses were considered for the movie, such as Lupita Nyonog’o and Adele Exarchopoulos, before Mara was offered the part.

The original story ‘is set during World War II and follows an orphan named Peter who is kidnapped by pirates and brought to Neverland, where he discovers he’s destined to save the land from the pirate Blackbeard.’ It’s said to be very different to any Pan movie put on the screen before, with a multi-racial/international look.

The hope is that it can become a franchise on a par with Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings. We’ll be able to see if it can manage that when it’s released July 17, 2015.

The search is now on to find a young person to play Peter, which will include an open casting call.

Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is a family man with a wife, teenage son and young daughter. His life is upended when his youngest child and her friend disappear. The only clue is an RV seen parked on their street shortly beforehand, which leads Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) to the vehicle’s owner, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), a young man with the mental age of 10.

As there’s no real evidence that Alex was involved in the girls’ disappearance, the police are unable to hold him. However the fact he ran from the cops and something Alex says in the parking lot convinces Keller that he was involved. Frustrated by the cops, Keller decides to take matters into his own hands by kidnapping Alex and holding him in a dilapidated house he owns. Taking the law completely into his own hands, Keller turns up the pressure on Alex in order to try and force answers out of him. [Read more…]
