Yesterday, it was confirmed that Disney is in the process of acquiring many of 21st Century Fox’s assets, including its film studio. This means that the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But before the deal, Fox had a slew of X-Men films and spinoffs planned.

Basically, Marvel will re-evaluate developing projects and see which ones fit into its broader strategy. For starters, it’s unknown whether any current actors (such as Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender)…

Not only is he back in the red and blue suit, but the ending also saw him back at the Daily Planet, glasses and all. Clark Kent was declared dead at the same time as Superman (Clark even had an open casket funeral), so for both of them to return at the exact same time is a little…strange, isn’t it? How would they explain that to the public in the next film? Speaking at ACE Comic Con (via ComicBook), Cavill says that the next movie would address how Clark is…

Now, the deal has been announced. Disney has confirmed that it will acquire most of Fox’s assets, with its transaction value being a whopping $66.1 billion. The deal will close in 12-18 months.

Sony’s Venom movie has been filming for a while, but we have more casting news – and it could be one of the film’s biggest scores yet. According to The Wrap, actor Woody Harrelson is in talks to join Venom in an unknown role. Variety suggests that he could be some sort of henchman. But considering Harrelson’s star power, it wouldn’t be shocking if he played a much bigger role. Carnage, maybe? Harrelson is on a roll with blockbusters, playing the villain in this summer’s War for the Planet of the Apes and playing a character in next year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Venom marks his first comic book…
