Will the X-Men go down fighting the Morlocks in X-Men: Apocalypse?

Director Bryan Singer teased a major part of mutant history via Instagram:

The director was calling the shot in a tunnel looking set with the description:

“Shooting Caliban’s place of “business” #XMen #XMenApocalypse”

In comics, the Morlocks were a group of disfigured mutants who lived in seclusion beneath the tunnels of Manhattan. This hidden tribe was named after the mutants of the future in The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.

Caliban was a timid, child-like mutant with the ability to sense track other mutants who once developed a crush and abducted Kitty Pryde but his intentions were more innocent that those of his ruthless leader Callisto. Continue reading BRYAN SINGER Teases CALIBAN & MORLOCKS in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

Will Star-Lord soar with the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: The Infinity War and other Marvel movies?

In the new GQ, Chris Pratt reveals his Marvel agreement could mean more than just Guardians of the Galaxy sequels.

This could mean Pratt is committed to at least two sequels, as well as his character appearing with other Marvel characters like Robert Downey Jr is co-starring in Captain America: Civil War. There’s always a possibility Pratt could play Quill in a spinoff movie since Quill now has his own comic book Legendary Star-Lord. Continue reading CHRIS PRATT in More MARVEL MOVIES
