Hugh Jackman Wants X-Men & Avengers Movie

In the comic books X-Men have fought against and with the Avengers. Wolverine joined the Avengers and fights with both teams.

Will there ever be an X-Men and Avengers movie? Hugh Jackman is hoping so and even has picked the Avenger he wants Wolverine to take on in a possible film!

“You know, obviously we have people from—one of the great things about this movie is that a lot of people from Marvel are here and it seems a lot more inclusive than it has been in the past. I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but I think it’s fantastic,” Jackman tells Screen Rant, “I actually just asked the other day, I said, ‘I don’t know what the legal situation is, but why don’t these companies come together? Why isn’t it possible?’ Because personally, I would love to mix it up Continue reading Hugh Jackman Wants X-Men & Avengers Movie

The Women of the Atom star in a new X-Men #1 by Brian Wood this week. Jubilee, Storm, Psylocke, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, and Rachel Grey face an evil blast from the recent past.

Brian Wood told Comic Book Resources why Sublime (from the Grant Morrison New X-Men era) turns to the mutants for help:

“Without giving too much away, Sublime surrenders to the X-Men because he has a serious problem of his own that he can’t handle, and the X-Men, being his most formidable opponents, are his best source for help. We get right into that, as he walks onto the grounds of the Jean Grey School and surrenders to Rachel and Psylocke.

Elsewhere, the others are picking up Jubilee who calls in a panic, having Continue reading Villain’s Return in X-MEN #1

The WOMEN of the Children of the Atom star in the latest Marvel Now X-book! Brian Wood left the (adjectiveless) X-Men book a months ago after a thrilling arc with Storm leading Psylocke, Domino, Colossus and Pixie I called a potent mix of Torchwood and X-Men.

This week – Wood is back with a brand new X-Men #1 with art by Olivier Coipel. The new book has an all-female cast: Jubilee, Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Kitty Pryde and Rachel Grey. Wood told Comics Newsarama why the new book features an all X-Women cast:

“It’s impossible to say what’s going to happen way down the road, but there has been zero talk of changing the lineup to include a male character, not from my editor on up the chain of command to [Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso]. But while the core cast of the book is these six women, this is not a title designed to be devoid of all men. I’m sure they’ll be some appearing as guests in arcs as needed… it would be sort of boring without it, and sort of a waste of chances for good character moments.

Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel launch a brand new X-Men #1 this week with an all female team – including a vampire!

Jubilee was transformed into a vampire in Curse of the Mutants and joined a cabal of fellow undead trying to control their blood lust. The fireworks generating mutant turned vampire will back with the Children of the Atom as this series begins. Brian Wood told a fan on Comic Book Resources X-Position how he will approach the mutated Jubilee.

“I’ll be the first to admit I struggled with the fact that I would be writing a vampire Jubilee — I was hoping to be able to write the “classic” one but it was not in the cards. But we, my editor Jeanine [Schaefer] and I, figured the way to go is Continue reading The Vampire of X-MEN #1
