Hugh Jackman will once again portray Wolverine, as actor Ryan Reynolds shockingly announces alongside the Deadpool 3 release date.

Mutants were Already introduced to Television by Marvel Studios, and It was Terrible

Image
Since the X-Men are among the few A-listers who have yet to appear in a Marvel Studios film, many are curious as to how they will be incorporated into the MCU. However, Marvel Studios has already dealt with a group of mutants, albeit in a TV series unrelated to the X-Men, as there was an infamous series that is now largely forgotten. Given the success of Fox's first two X-Men films, Mutant X looked and sounded like an X-Men spinoff. Unfortunately, it fell short of the calibre of those movies or the calibre of the comic books, coming out as a shoddy production typical of the time. What Was the Ignored X-Men TV Series by Marvel Studios? Mutant X, which was created by Avid Arad, made its broadcast premiere in October 2001, over 11 years ago. Marvel Studios was one of the show's production companies, however the show had nothing to do with the Mutant X comic book or the X-Men franchise in general. It yet shared a very similar basis, which would later come back to haunt it. Related:

It’s Morbin’ Time: Morbius actually became Netflix’s No. 1 streamed movie

Image
How was Netflix's Morbius No. 1? Should it have been? It makes sense, believe it or not. Let's be upfront and honest. Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters suffered another significant setback with Morbius. The film did poorly at the box office, but it still made its money back. It's hardly surprising given that it's a comic book movie. For a comic book movie to lose money, it would have to be among the worst ever made. One of the lowest rated comic book movies ever, Dark Phoenix nonetheless made its money back. Related: Thanos' Maker Guesses Which of His Characters Could Join the MCU Next Due to a meme, Sony attempted a theatre re-release. a meme that ironically made fun of the film. Sadly, they believed that people genuinely wanted to see it. Not only was that a blunder, but the film also debuted to disastrous reviews. IGN stated that it only made $289 per theatre out of the 1,037 locations where it was presented. " Despite all the criticism, the film unex

Hollywood talent rep Claims, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO poisoned the DCEU well

Hollywood talent agents now view the DCEU as a poisoned brand as a result of multiple bad choices made by WBD CEO David Zaslav. The CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, may be doing more damage to the DC Extended Universe than good, according to a Hollywood talent rap. One important talent agent told The Hollywood Reporter that  "Zaslav doesn't know what he doesn't know. That's scary. And you're always going to be compared to Marvel. It's unfair. By the time they were being judged, it was working. It's the exact opposite at Warner. It's rough all around. Who the fuck would want that job?" As Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe at Disney, WBD is now developing "a 10-year plan focusing just on DC". Zaslav is also looking for someone to fill the role of DC's Feige, but he has had trouble finding somebody willing to take it on. According to sources, Zaslav is looking for  "someone

Batman's New Origin Shows He May Have Been the Worst Criminal in Gotham

Batman: The Knight reveals that Bruce Wayne would have been the worst criminal in Gotham had he not grown up to be the Batman. Bruce Wayne transformed an unimaginably painful experience into the vigilante hero Batman after seeing both of his parents shot to death in a random murder. His route to donning the cowl, however, was never certain, and he frequently stood in danger of becoming Gotham's Caped King of Crime with just one poor choice. The Batman: The Knight limited series by Chip Zdarsky and Carmine Di Giandomenico retells the history of Batman with a focus on Bruce Wayne's journey between the time his parents were murdered and his final return to Gotham as the city's sole Dark Knight. The series deals on a number of topics, including how he dealt with his post-traumatic stress disorder, vivid memories, and rage over his parents' death. For instance, in Batman: The Knight #8, Bruce seeks the advice of Doctor Daniel Captio to learn how to reinforce his mind against
