Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen may not finished as Professor X and Magneto in the X-Men franchise.

While Stewart is not appearing in X-Men: Apocalypse, he says McKellen will be.

“Yes, I understand that it seems to be very unlikely that I will be in the next “X-Men” movie, which is almost getting ready to start shooting in Montreal,” Stewart tells Oregon Live. “…But Magneto, Ian McKellen, is certainly going to be in it.”

The sequel pits the mutants against the first mutant, En Sabah Nur aka Apocalyspe, played by Oscar Isaac. The story is set in the 1980’s and Michael Fassbender will return as Magneto. Continue reading PATRICK STEWART & IAN McKELLEN in Future X-MEN Movies

Who are the Utopians?

All-New X-Men #40 (in Marvel‘s April previews) asked “Who are the Utopians?” and “what secret do they hold that pertains to the future of mutantkind?”

This blast from recent past may affect the future of the Children of the Atom.

Cyclops created a bright new future for the X-Men in San Fransisco. Then Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign began.  Osborn ordered his Dark Avengers and H.A.M.M.E.R. (his twisted version of S.H.I.E.L.D.) to restore his kind of order after anti-mutant riots erupted in their new home. Continue reading WHO ARE UTOPIANS in ALL-NEW X-MEN?
