X-Men Film Review: Part One
As we keep chugging along on our adventure through all sorts of comic movies, it's always nice to take a look back at time when we didn't really think that was going to be a real possibility. I mean, we had a few here and there; Marc Goldblatt's "The Punisher" in 1989 with Dolph Lundgren, Todd McFarlene's "Spawn" came to life on the screen in 1997, and even Marvel's "Blade" started it's three film run in 1998.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' S.B. 50 Trailer!
'X-Men: Apocalypse' Trailer Has Arrived!
Since as far back as I can remember the X-Men have been a part of my comic book loving life. The animated series back in the 90's helped catapult me into this world, but the comics themselves seduced me into loving this team of extraordinarily evolved people. Probably my favorite run of books was the Age of Apocalypse series in which we see a world where Charles Xavier died before he could see his goal of uniting Mutants and Humans in peace. Also in this world, Apocalypse has taken control of the planet and rules with a vicious and evil fist. And now...now we get to see Apocalypse on the big screen for the first time and he's bringing his four horsemen with him. Today we got the first trailer of the latest X-Men film directed by Bryan Singer.

Marvel Makes Big Change to An Original X-Man
'X-Men: Apocalypse' Casts Nightcrawler!
With production ramping up for the third installment in this new X-Men trilogy from Bryan Singer, there's been speculation over which mutants we may see in X-Men: Apocalypse. News broke recently that we'd see the younger versions of Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm and yesterday we found out that Nightcrawler would be joining the mix. Again its a younger version of the teleporting blue guy, as Kodi Smit-McPhee (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, ParaNorman) has been cast in the fan favorite role. X-Men: Days of Future Past saw the emergence of Quicksilver in a scene that most people call an instant classic. Will Nightcrawler get a similar treatment this time around?
'X-Men: Apocalypse' Casts Young X-Men!
We had heard recently that FOX would be recasting the roles of Storm, Jean Grey, and Cyclops for the upcoming film X-Men: Apocalypse. The movie is set to take place during the 80's which means these characters will be teenagers and not full grown adults as we've seen previously with Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, and James Marsden. Today, director, Bryan Singer tweeted out this little nugget, giving us a new set of actors...
