Details On Richard E. Grant's Villain Suggest Mister Sinister Won't Appear In 'Logan' After All!
When X-Men Apocalypse's end-credits scene ended with a reference to 'Essex Corp', X-Men fans thought we knew just who was going to become the next major villain — Nathaniel Essex, a twisted geneticist known as Mr. Sinister. As details begin to emerge, though, it's looking as though that assumption may have been wrong...

From Boom Tubes To Parademons: 'Suicide Squad' Concept Art Hints At What Could Have Been
Although the DCEU technically launched off the back of 2013's Man of Steel, it was really only this year that the latest shared superhero cinematic universe became a reality. Sadly, although both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad were blockbuster hits, they were also both panned by critics.

Doctor Strange: Is Kaecilius The Answer To Marvel's 'Villain Problem'?
The MCU is a masterpiece of fiction; an innovative shared universe that transcends the boundaries of any genre. If you want space opera, you can tune in to Guardians of the Galaxy; if you want political thriller, watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier; and if you want sorcery, watch Doctor Strange. But one common criticism of the entire MCU is that it has something of a 'villain problem'. In the build-up to Doctor Strange, Marvel seemed very proud of Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius, and seemed to be hoping he'd be something of a turning-point for them. But is he?

The Repercussions of 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Continue!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was controversial before it even hit the big screen. There were times when it really seemed as though DC Film couldn't win - every decision, from the casting of Ben Affleck to the revelation of Doomsday in the trailers, was criticized on social media. When the film was finally released, it was to a perfect storm of poor reviews and mixed fan reactions. Worse still, at least initially the DC Extended Universe seemed doomed to continue along this controversial road; Zack Snyder's continued prominence, given the mixed reception for both Man of Steel and #BatmanVSuperman, guaranteed more of the same.

With Michael Fassbender Unsure If He'll Return As Magneto, What's NeXt For The X-Men Franchise?
2016 was a strange year for X-Men films. Although X-Men: Apocalypse didn't perform badly, it didn't exactly fulfill the studio's expectations. Meanwhile, Deadpool surprised Fox by earning a whopping $783 million at the box office, proving that the X-Men franchise may be a lot more malleable than we thought! In the wake of 2016, Fox is surely carefully considering the future of the franchise. Here's what we know so far!

Fox's 'New Mutants' Characters, Plot And Villain Take Shape In A Fantastic New Storyboard!
Created in 1982 by legendary X-Men creators Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, the New Mutants are one of the most popular X-Men spinoff franchises. The idea was simple: to create a team of young X-Men-in-training, with a carefully-cultivated global appeal. Giving Marvel's best creators a chance to exercise their creativity to the max, the New Mutants' adventures took them everywhere from Immortal Asgard to the Hellish dimension known as Limbo.

'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2' — Will There Be a Sequel to Tim Burton's Hit Movie?
For me, Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The film is inspired by Ransom Riggs's New York Times best seller; at first read, you know the novel is perfectly suited to the quirky, whimsical style of Tim Burton. But what many moviegoers may not have realized is that Miss Peregrine's is the beginning of a series of novels that span history. Will we get the whole series?

5 Christmas Movies to Watch on Christmas!
Every family is different, especially once it comes to Christmas. Each family has its own traditions that they do on Christmas. For example, in my family, we open presents VERY early in the morning (I'm talking 7:30-8 here people) then we watch various Christmas movies all day, eat dinner while Christmas music is playing, and then we watch more movies while we sip on hot chocolate with marshmallows in it. My favorite part is the Christmas movies because we can spend quality time as a family enjoying Christmas. So here are a few of my Christmas movies and I hope they're yours, too.
