Looks like the new X-Men movie is moving forward.

Sophie Turner to start filming the new X-Men film soon

Last night Sophie Turner walked the red carpet of the 2017 British Academy Film Awards, and we had the chance to catch a few updates on what the actress has got coming up. Two of the biggest franchises she’s currently involved with are about to move into uncharted territory with X-Men entering a new decade and Game of Thrones moving even further past the currently published material.

The new X-Men film is in her immediate future and there are rumours that the Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix storyline might be revisited. If the tradition is held then this new X-Men film would take place in the 90s, following on from their adventures in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

I hope the fat-chinned guy isn't Mojo.  The Mojoverse is so out there I would expect the show to lose a big chunk of their audience if they introduce it.

I guess it depends on how the show creators handle this. But I can see what you mean. It would be like the wildest nightmare the Joker ever had in his head - if he was allowed to dream Marvel dreams.

I just want to know why no one else seems to see him

Another theory is it is one of David's personalities, which by looking back on him before departing it was his way of saying farewell to that single personality.

Now watch in Episode Two it turns out to be something simple to explain, and all this deep thinking goes out the window.

Matt Reeves is an excellent choice.

Totally agree! That second Apes movie was a fantastic production. And when the apes invaded, that could have easily turned into a Michael Bay 'loads of explosions - people screaming - parts flying - cue the music - THE END' third act. He really kept it action-packed yet emotional and meaningful.

Solid choice!

does the skirt come with the pom poms?

Does the cane come standard-issue with the crotchety old man outfit?

And now the reason for the Camelot/3000 -script.

THE LEGENDS Join The Round Table In Stills From LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Season 2 Episode 12 'Camelot/3000'

This time, the Legends make their way to ancient Camelot to team-up with the legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The CW has released six promotional stills from the episode, giving us our first look at the team dressed for their medieval adventure. We also get to see Sara chatting up Guinevere and Arthur holding Stargirl captive, possibly under the order of Damien Darhk?

THE BATMAN -script Is Ready: Warner Bros. And Ben Affleck Are "Very Happy"

I reached out to Justin Kroll, the Variety reporter who broke the news about Ben Affleck not directing The Batman. He told me that a new -script for The Batman was turned in this month (presumably the one that Chris Terrio rewrote), and that everyone at Warner Bros., including President and Chief Content Officer Toby Emmerich and Ben Affleck are “very happy” with it!

They still need a director as well. But we finally have a -script that Ben Affleck is happy with. That was something that he constantly talked about in interviews over the last few months.

This explains why both my sets of The Judas Contract sold quickly this month.

Bummer - let them go for next to nothing

I'm sure the buyers appreciated the books.

Hugh Jackman has been fantastic throughout. Unfortunately the scripts he had to portray have not been the best at times.

But I really enjoyed his performances in Days of Future Past and The Wolverine. Even his mini-appearance in Apocalypse. So really looking forward to Logan.

First episode was outstanding!

Zany storytelling, funny yet intense scenes, very strange characters and a level of mystery where you are not sure if we are in David's head or actually experiencing show reality.

Anyone recognize the potential villain?

Fox Will Move Forward With Firefly Reboot - On One Condition

The series only lasted for one year on Fox, but it is widely regarded as one of the best sci-fi shows in history. The

 Joss Whedon creation - starring Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk - is still gaining momentum and fans to this day.

The folks at Fox often ask if they would ever be willing to make a reboot of Firefly, or at least revisit the original with some more episodes. With X-Files, Prison Break, and 24 all getting new shows, is it really out of the question?

According to Fox President Of Entertainment David Madden, the option for more Firefly is on the table. There's only one condition:

Joss Whedon has to be on board if it's going to get made.
