I have to admit, I’m pessimistic about Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. The cast seems to grow everyday, which gives the impression that cameos will occur nonstop. Then there’s Wolverine once again being up front and center, as if he’s the only X-Man.
Man of Steel is out in theaters and speculation for the sequel is already circulating. One of the possibilities is Lex Luthor being the antagonist, which makes sense considering the LexCorp logos we saw in the movie. Or that’s leaping — over a tall building — in a single bound.

Robert Downey Jr. fulfilled his contractual obligation with Marvel Studios with Iron Man 3. Despite the success with playing Tony Stark, it was unclear if Downey would continue with the character that is essentially him; he expressed interest in moving on with other projects.
Empire had a special podcast with Joss Whedon on his film, Much Ado About Nothing, and naturally, the topic of the sequel to The Avengers came up.
One of the major complaints about The Avengers was Captain America’s costume. It was close to the comics, but it more or less looked goofy and looked almost like pajamas. But we could always blame Agent Coulson and his love for Steve Rogers. A living legend? My god, put him in this costume from the trading cards!
Man of Steel is merely days away from releasing in theaters, and Warner Bros. is already green lighting a sequel with Zack Snyder directing and David S. Goyer writing the screenplay. And of course with Henry Cavill reprising his role as Clark Kent (Superman).
As many know as this point, Marvel and Disney are furthering the movie universe with “Phase 2” and the ABC television series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was a very welcome surprise that Clark Gregg will reprise his role as Agent Phil Coulson and star in the show. Now a new possibility has surfaced for the anticipated show.
A while back we saw a tease of how Nicholas Hoult’s Beast will look like in X-Men: Days of Future Past. It ventures away from the look in First Class and is more like Beast’s appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand.
