“Baby Reindeer” was among the winners at the first-ever Gotham TV Awards on Tuesday evening, taking home the prize for breakthrough limited series.
“I never thought in a million years that this dark, weird, messed up show would have brought in this universal love that it’s received,” said Richard Gadd, the show’s creator and star, in his acceptance speech. He also thanked Netflix, his team and his mom and dad for “messing [him] up enough to make [him] an artist.”
Gadd went on to say, “It’s kind of weird also that a show as messed up as this has gone on to strike a chord with so many people. I think it speaks to the fact that a lot of people in the world are struggling right now. And I don’t know much in the way of advice, but I do know that nothing lasts forever. So if you are in a rut,...

The Russo Brothers, Anthony, and Joseph, are two of the most successful filmmakers of recent years and have been involved in some of the most successful Marvel iterations till date. This also includes 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, which resulted in a triumphant send-off for the director duo from the MCU, garnering almost $2.8 billion worldwide.

What’s more, back when the Russo Brothers were part of the MCU, it was effectively a golden bird for Marvel. Avengers: Endgame was the second-last movie of the MCU’s Phase III, and there has been considerable stagnancy ever since. Be it in the form of narrative problems, dwindling box office returns, or repetitive storytelling, there are simply a number of reasons why fans have not been as impressed with Marvel’s offerings over the past few years.

The animated return of the X-Men this year breathed life into Marvel fans, who were waiting for something good from the franchise for quite some time. X-Men ’97 was the perfect mix of nostalgia and modernization and hit the viewers’ right in the feels. Though creating that effect was not easy, the original X-Men cartoon had it way more tough.

X-Men ’97 used the best in class animation and techniques to bring out characters and storylines straight from Marvel comics. Back in the early 90s, animation was not as simple, and creating a moving panel took a lot more than just clicking a button.
How different was it back then? Let’s have a look at what the showrunners have to say.

X-Men: The Animated Series is often counted as one of the greatest adaptations of superhero comics, placing it among the likes of Justice League Unlimited, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes.

The Animated Series served as the definitive version of the characters for a generation of superhero fans. However, despite the massive popularity that eventually came the show’s way, Hollywood was not very confident about X-Men headlining their own series, and for almost 10 years, the series was a no-go.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is big and expansive and has been around since Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man bounded into our screens in his flying suit. Now, after more than a decade in business, Marvel Studios seems to be in a slump, as their last few projects have not made the audiences very happy. But fans are still holding in to hope that the coming projects will fare better than the previous ones.

Avengers: Secret Wars is an upcoming project from the studios, set to release in 2027. The movie is rumored to bring in a lot of old and new faces, which will be the conclusion to the Multiverse Saga of the MCU. But a new update is not sitting too well with the fans.

Wolverine is arguably the most iconic of the X-Men, and largely has a very uniform identity which has been helped by Hugh Jackman’s iconic portrayal of the character in various live-action adaptations. The mutant himself, however, has been an integral part of the comics since forever, and was already extremely popular via the various animated iterations that came out, since the 1980s.

The short-tempered yet good-hearted, violence-loving savage has always belonged to Canada, although one particular iteration ended up changing that part of his identity. We speak of 1989’s X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men pilot, which was written by Larry Parr, a Marvel writer who had been working with Marvel Productions and Stan Lee since 1981.
As it turned out, Parr worked on the pilot which was later cancelled alongside the likes of Will Meugniot, and Rick Hoberg, all X-Men fanboys. The group however,...

Brad Pitt is undoubtedly one of the biggest, if not the biggest star in Hollywood. The now 60-year-old heartthrob has been involved in a plethora of iconic projects across genres and is estimated to have a net worth of $400 million. Right from 12 Monkeys to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, to 12 Years a Slave, Pitt’s career is simply littered with iconic projects.

Still, his involvement in superhero franchises has been utterly limited, with his only association coming in the form of a 3-second cameo in Deadpool 2 as Vanisher. The character was invisible throughout the movie, with Pitt’s face showing up only moments before its death.

Laura Karpman brought choral sounds into Season 2 of “What If…?” while Natalie Holt re-established the “Loki” theme for the series’ second season.

TV shows vying for Emmy consideration.
Despite telling different stories, each composer worked to bring a score that felt big, epic and exciting — exactly what fans and audiences expect from a Marvel TV show.
Holt knew Season 2 of “Loki” would be darker and that the titular character (Tom Hiddleston) ascending to the throne and becoming a brand-new god. “I knew where it was heading at the end of Episode 6, so I had this idea of an old Norse choir calling him to his faith,” she says.

What started out as a single movie released in 2008 over the course of 16 years grew into the largest cinematic universe to date which includes both live-action movies, and TV Shows.
Despite this impressive track record, it’s become sort of a trend among high-profile directors to criticize the MCU and superhero movies in general. Some of the biggest names in the industry like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Francis Ford Coppola mocked the premises and the executions, lauding that superhero movies are no true cinema.

The transition from good to evil has fascinated writers for centuries. Forcing characters to dance on the line of morality has always intrigued audiences more than two-dimensional characters with simple moral compasses. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is well-known for administering such dilemmas to their viewers through the characters they make.

Be it Kilmonger in Black Panther, Thanos’ noble motivations to wipe out half the universe, or the execution of the Punisher’s justice, it is difficult for fans to condemn some villains when their motivations are so complex. Despite this, there are a few characters that have stayed consistent over the years, even though the law would disagree.
Five of the main six Avengers have managed to always have a strong moral compass, ever since the 2011 film, and these traits have stayed consistent. However, it would seem that their actors have played parts that juxtapose their iconic roles.

However, audiences, creators, and some critics alike enjoyed the fresh, more personal take that Zack Snyder had when it came to Superman, as opposed to the Big Blue Boy Scout image the character had boasted.

In the world of superheroes, Spider-Man has had a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide. His agility, web-swinging powers, sixth sense, and relatable persona as Peter Parker have made him a beloved figure in the genre.

While the superhero has excelled at apprehending the thugs and villains of New York, it appears improbable that he will gain an advantage over the adversaries of Gotham. Unlike Batman, whose very name strikes a feat in the hearts of criminals, the web-swinging superhero might find himself out of his depth in a world where darkness reigns supreme.

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are undeniably the hottest movie tandem today and all thanks to their upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film. The project has been a long-gestating one, and it’s quite clear that the chemistry between the two remains unmatched.

Despite being fired as X-Men '97 showrunner (the details are still sketchy) shortly before the series premiered on Disney+, Beau DeMayo has remained active on social media, sharing intriguing insights into the development of the animated revival show and revealing some of his key influences.
DeMayo has previously explained how the iconic "Superman takes flight" sequence from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel inspired a similar moment from episode 6 featuring Storm regaining her powers, and has now revealed that a different scene may have "subconsciously influenced" Rogue attacking the villainous Bastion in the recent season finale.
This was yet another standout moment for Rogue, who unleashed the full extent of her power while channelling the pain and rage she felt after losing Gambit in the Genosha massacre
I was likely subconsciously influenced by this when writing the #xmen97 finale beat of Rogue punching Bastion. That’s not Superman hammering Zod.

In a drastic move, Marvel shockingly fired the X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo on the eve of his project’s debut. Despite being in the midst of a particularly busy time at Marvel Studios, DeMayo was suddenly laid off after his company email was deactivated and his colleagues were informed about his exit from the project.

Martin Scorsese is one of the most acclaimed filmmakers in Hollywood, and even at the age of 81 is churning out pieces of art. The filmmaker last helmed the crime-Western Killers of the Flower Moon, and is already gearing up for his next project. He remains one of the few individual voices still making films today.
Scorsese’s statements about cinema and the way superhero films were taking over the medium had drawn a lot of flack from fans. The director’s comparison of Marvel movies to theme parks sparked outrage as well as a popular meme template. However, even he would agree to one scene from Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel as cinema.

The storytelling process often blurs lines, enabling creators to weave their magic subconsciously, and this holds true for one brutal Henry Cavill scene from Man of Steel. Indeed, the film has intriguingly likely influenced an iconic X-Men ‘97 finale moment involving Rogue, as revealed by Beau DeMayo. Well, a few weeks ago, we got to know about Bastion’s genesis in Tolerance Is Extinction – Part 1, which actually sent waves of nostalgia and surprise through the DC fandom.

These two powerhouses of the comic book world have long been at odds, with fans fiercely defending their favorite superheroes and storylines.

‘X-Men ’97’ was a breath of fresh air on Disney+. The continuation of the original animated series drew many fans back to the platform after the disappointment of ‘The Marvels.’

The hashtag ‘X-Men ’97’ trended for weeks, with social media buzzing with theories and discussions, primarily sparked by showrunner Beau DeMayo. The overwhelmingly positive reaction led to the confirmation of at least two additional seasons, with rumors suggesting the show could continue indefinitely.
However, the viewership numbers tell a different story. It seems that only die-hard fans of the original animated series and the X-Men team were drawn to this project.

X-Men ’97 was able to achieve one more thing that live-action Marvel failed to do, First, of course, was making Cyclops as a character cool again. Second, was the fact that the animated offering from Marvel Studios’ new wing, Marvel Animation, was able to do Avengers: Age of Ultron right.

According to YouTuber DoomBlazer, who has been a credible voice for the community, the plots of the first season of X-Men ’97 and Avengers: Age of Ultron are not that different from each other. Both properties deal with the issue of artificial intelligence one way or the other, but that is not where the similarities of the stories end.

It is safe to say that the concept of the X-Men ’97 is quite unique. Bringing it back for the same audience and starting off right where it left off while using the same animation style is something that has not been done before. However, it is safe to say that the approach worked exceptionally well, with all of the episodes getting immense public engagement.

"Deadpool and Wolverine" — which is due out on July 26, 2024 — will mark Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine after a seven year hiatus. (I remember vividly when 2017's "Logan" was supposed to be his final bow.)
Ever since superhero movies have become Marvel and DC's biggest cultural footprints, the comics have had the mandate to follow their lead. The adaptations point the direction of the source material, not the other way around.
Take how, in the 2010s, Marvel relegated the X-Men from the top shelf to the dustbin because 20th Century Fox owned the mutants' movie rights. Once Marvel's parent company Disney acquired Fox (and the X-Men with it) in 2019, the X-Men were raised back up. "Deadpool and Wolverine" is the greatest culmination of that merger yet, with the film's trailers suggesting the Merc with a Mouth is entering the MCU full-throttle — and bringing the rest of Fox's Marvel films along with him.

Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot has rightly generated hype considering the kind of updates that have come out thus far. While the characters were previously featured in the 20th Century Fox series, perhaps the most accurate depiction from the comics happened in 1994’s Fantastic Four: The Animated Series, as it featured multiple narratives taken straight from various traditional DC arcs.
The titular theory, which suggests that the upcoming movie might as well feature the same characters from the timeline seen in the animated offering makes sense on various fronts. Furthermore, it will also pave the way for the potential inclusion of the X-Men ‘97 characters in a future live-action movie.

X-Men '97 has been an eagerly awaited animation series from Marvel, so it makes sense why fans are highly anticipating the official release date for X-Men '97 season 2.
The show was meant to revive the original 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series, with the story continuing where the show left off.
While season 2 of X-Men '97 was already greenlit as early as July 2022, here is everything you need to know about its release date predictions and potential plotlines.
X-Men '97 Season 2 Release Date Predictions
Animation takes a much longer time to produce, which is why X-Men '97 season 2 had been greenlit ahead of the first season's premiere.
This is also how the showrunners managed to get a headstart on writing the second season's finale.
"[Production] is going really, really well. We're just in post-production on season 1 and [right now] writing...

Bryan Cranston is a true great, and while the Argylle star is no stranger to genre fare, he's yet to star in a comic book movie or TV show.
The actor was a fan-favourite choice to play Lex Luthor for a time, but that always felt like a knee-jerk response to what a terrific job he did as a bald antagonist in Breaking Bad. Of course, we're also well-aware that many of you would love to see him portray Stan "The Man" Lee in a future biopic.
Today, we have word from scooper @MyTimeToShineH that Cranston has met with Marvel Studios about a mystery MCU role. Kevin Feige has general meetings with lots of actors, so there's nothing to say this will lead anywhere.
It's an undeniably exciting prospect, though, particularly with movies like The Fantastic Four, Avengers 5, and the X-Men reboot on the horizon.

Kevin Feige has been shepherding the MCU since its inception in the late 2000s and came out guns blazing with the first Iron Man in 2008. The MCU soon expanded over the years, and more characters started to populate the narrative and make the universe layered and interconnected.

There is little doubt that Marvel has seen a gross loss in quality in recent years, perhaps after the incessant success of Avengers: Endgame. However, things are certainly looking on the up, at least potentially, with a range of exciting projects set to be released in the coming time.
This, quite notably, includes the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, which has been allotted a release date of July 25, 2025, for the time being. Featuring a glut of stars such as Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, it seems as if another superstar of Indian origin, previously seen in CBS’s SuperGirl, Rahul Kohli, was also in the running for a major role.
