The X-Men: No Boys Allowed

There’s been some backlash to Brian Wood‘s upcoming all-female X-Men team of Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, Kitty Pryde, Psylocke, and Rachel Grey, and I feel like this variant cover by Skottie Young is the perfect response.

Days of Future Past‘s Young Professor X Got Real, Uh, Groovy

I fully support this transformation of James McAvoy into a guy I would avoid eye contact with on the subway. I mean, even more than one already avoids eye contact with every person on the subway.

More Hints at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in The Avengers 2

With Joss Whedon‘s mention, on the red carpet of Iron Man 3‘s Los Angeles premiere, that he’d managed to “lock” in his favorite brother/sister characters into the script for The Avengers 2, comics fans were very surprised, for a semi-complicated reason. It seemed very much like Whedon was hinting at the roles of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, alias Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, reformed members of a terrorist group who were a major part of the second incarnation of the Avengers, lead by Captain America.

What’s surprising about this is that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are mutants, and were long thought to probably be characters that Marvel Entertainment couldn’t touch due to licensing agreements that left the X-Men and their supporting characters with Fox Studios. But was Whedon really hinting at Magneto’s wayward twins, or at a different sibling pair? According to Entertainment Weekly’s sources, it’s mutants all the way down.

The Avengers 2 Might Bring Mutants to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Iron Man 3 had its Los Angeles premiere last night, and that means that there were plenty of folks with an inside line on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe walking down a gauntlet of reporters. It’s probably inevitable that somebody would drop a bombshell on the red carpet. When the dust cleared, Joss Whedon was standing alone, in his hand a direct quote about how the first draft of The Avengers 2 he’d locked in a new brother/sister duo for the film.

Before you go out and cross reference sibling teams and the Avengers in comics, you should probably just be told that the very likely culprits are Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Which is very, very interesting from a licensing standpoint. I swear.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Adds Another Cast Member, ‘Cause One More Mutant Can’t Hurt, Right?

Let’s take a look at this picture X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer tweeted. There’s Singer, obviously, and HMORE would be Iceman Shawn Ashmore. We have Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, the latter managing to be unsurpassingly majestic even when shot from the back wearing a hockey jersey with an unfortunately placed spotlight on his noggin.

But wait. Who’s CANTO?

Planet of the Apes Fan Judy Greer Lives the Dream, Is Cast as the Female Ape Lead in Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I’m just going to go ahead and put the best part of Judy Greer‘s interview with Vulture about her Apes casting right up front: “It’s funny, because when I talk to my [Planet of the Apes-obsessed] husband about the movie, he’s like, ‘I don’t want to know! I do want to know! Do you think you should tell me? Don’t tell me!

Poor guy.
