Is It Time To Take The X-Men To The Final Frontier?
With anticipation building for X-Men: Apocalypse, director Bryan Singer is doing the rounds. In an interview with Fandango, he's just given us a lot of new information about the future of the X-Men franchise. Now, it's worth remembering that Singer seems to be flying kites at the moment - previous comments have hinted at everything from the famous "Dark Phoenix Saga" to the mutant menace Proteus. So don't take this as anything solid - yet.

The Political Side of 'Captain America: Civil War' You Won't Have Noticed!
Marvel's latest blockbuster, Captain America: Civil War, is already proving itself to be a tremendous success. The critics love it, the fans love it, and the box office takings look very healthy indeed. Perhaps the most interesting part of the film's success is that it continues the surprisingly deep, and very politically aware, narrative that the Russo brothers began in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

You'll Never Guess Which Iconic X-Man Almost Became A Horseman of 'Apocalypse'!
Since time immemorial (or at least since X-Factor #15, published in 1987), the villainous mutant Apocalypse has been associated with a group of four followers he calls his Horsemen.

Why Zemo Isn't The REAL Enemy In 'Captain America: Civil War'
Marvel is commonly criticised for having major problems with their villains, and Captain America: Civil War's Zemo is already getting a lot of criticism. Interestingly enough though, I think there's a case for arguing Zemo isn't really the villain of the film.

Rating the Heroes of 'Captain America: Civil War'
Featuring more superheroes than any Marvel movie before it - albeit with Thor and Hulk as notable absences - Captain America: Civil War is an all-action superhero brawl! With so much of the cast returning, and two new superheroes to introduce, not everyone could get the same amount of time. But who shone? Be warned:

Wait: So WHAT Is Mystique's Role in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'?!?
Fox released their final trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse! This trailer's a bit more unusual; it's heavy on exposition, teases that Wolverine plays a role in the film after all, but really has its focus on one character.
