WIKI PLOT: "One year after the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Logan has aged over the years making the promise not to use his claws for bloody purposes, with his healing factor weakened. When an evil organization lead by Nathaniel Essex tries to use the rest of the remaining mutants in the world, turning them into weapons, Logan will need to become the Wolverine one more time." (Wiki)
IMDb PLOT: ”Set in the future of 2024, Logan and Professor Charles Xavier must cope with the loss of the X-Men when a corporation lead by Nathaniel Essex is destroying the world leaving it to destruction, with Logan's healing abilities slowly fading away and Xavier's Alzheimer's forcing him to forget. Logan must defeat Nathaniel Essex with the help of a young girl named Laura Kinney, a female clone of Wolverine.” (IMDb)
“Logan” is the third and final standalone Wolverine feature film, with actor Hugh Jackman revising his role as mutant, this time looking a hella old and battered, and alongside him is “Professor Xavier” (played by Patrick Stewart) - also looking highly ancient … and with him is whom we know to be “Laura Kinney” AKA “X-23” (played by Dafne Keen), who in comicbooks is a clone of Wolverine. Being surrounded by “Reavers”, he looks to be in the fight of his life …
Directed by James Mangold, LOGAN premieres March 3rd, 2017 in the U.S. Scroll down for the RED BAND Trailer!

Kristian Williams AKA (patreon.com / Twitter @kaptainkristian) takes ”a look at the meaning behind superhero costumes and how they characterize the X-Men.”
And while I can neither deny his notion nor wholly agree with it, I’d agree that the black leather had run it’s course of looking like a covert black-ops unit, like the days of yore when trenchcoats made everyone “cool” hahahaha … but the uniforms and costumes seen in X-MEN APOCALYPSE (post this video) managed to give us fanboy and fangirls a taste of both the comicbook and celluloid design sensibilities, IMHO.
What? You gonna argue about Psylocke’s duds with me? Okay fine, I give you Mystique (End Sequence) :p
”…Come, let me show you how it’s done… “Paintball practise was somewhat mundane today…"
Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters is now open for enrollment! What happens when you DO call the number ("1 800 312 9951") provided? Will you hear Stan Lee's voice again?
An aspect of the latest mutant big screen event the marketing folks have surprisingly not touched upon till now (that I know of anyways, and if I don't, "they've" failed anyways! :p) = "The retolicious 80's"! The kitsch is undeniable, the style unavoidable, and with all the "seriousness" going on with superhero-comicbook to=screen adaptations in recent years, THIS seemed like such refreshing (tho "retro") FUN!
X-MEN APOCALYPSE premiered on Singapore screens yesterday May 19th … don't suppose there's a "SG Hotline" to call tho? :p (Quick! Someone do a Singlish parody dub soonsoon!)
Tagline: "Unleash your inner Beast with Red Robin Gourmet Burgers" … can't complain tho, there were Burger-Ads for "Days of Future Past", and we have X-Pizzas here in Singapore … X-MEN APOCALYPSE premiered on Singapore screens May 19th, 2016.
Be it as an upcoming reborn-again Assassin, or a mutant master of magnetism, actor Michael Fassbender sure gives "intense" a subtle run for the money, innit?
*Only chance I'll ever have to visit New York in my lifetime, perhaps ... although wearing a Magneto helmet might give me the confidence booster I'd always needed... Must. Eat. Mutant. Pizza!
"Very happy to have been selected by Marvel Entertainment/ 20th Century Fox to create a popdeco poster for their upcoming summer blockbuster: X-MEN: APOCALYPSE.
I wanted this vector to focus primarily on Apocalypse's determined stare, and integrating him as En Sabah Nur, and his four horsemen. While the lower negative space of the "X" for X-men, translates as both a pyramid and the "A" for Apocalypse." - shared Orlando Arocena (Created with Imac + Adobe Illustrator + Wacom Intuos / / View Making-of steps here)
Quicksilver comes clean about his relationship with Magneto (*finally tis been acknowledged!) to Mystique, and Wolverine (or at least his claws) guest stars in X-MEN APOCALYPSE! Premieres May 27th, 2016.

Pre-"Horsemen of Apocalypse" ANGEL ("Warren Worthington III" played by Ben Hardy) versus a downed character who looks like "The Blob", in the upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse" feature film!
We've previously seen Nightcrawler battle Angel in earlier trailer sequences, and the last incarnation of The Blob was seen in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"! "Fred Dukes" sure has gone around, hasn't he? LOL
"When #Apocalypse rises, civilizations fall." … as we follow In The Footsteps of En Sabah Nur, comes a new online viral tweeted first, then launched on www.xmenmovies.com the full timeline of destruction of APOCALYPSE!
They're really pushing the "world killer"-angle hard here! OOPS, I meant "genocidal"-angle … but all I see is an X-Wing fighter pilot .. "Oops", again? :p
New "X-Men"-themed television commercial has the mutants hawking "Sky Fibre", but the most exceptional part of this TVC, is seeing all the mutants - both Xavier's students and the Storm from Aopalypse's Four Horsemen - together chilling in the same room!
WHAT: "Sky has joined forces with Twentieth Century Fox for the second time this year to create a brand new campaign - this time featuring characters from the upcoming X-MEN: APOCALYPSE film to promote Sky Fibre.
The new campaign, which launches on 16th April, features the characters from the latest “X-MEN: APOCALYPSE” film, which will be in cinemas in the UK on 18th May. The TV ad was directed by Brian Smrz, (Second Unit Director for X-MEN: APOCALYPSE and X-MEN: Days of Future Past), and shot at Vancouver Studios using talent from the film, including Quicksilver (Evan Peters), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Storm (Alexandra Shipp)."
"The TV ad is set in the library at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngers, where we see Quicksilver trying to impress a girl who is streaming a movie on her laptop, but is having trouble doing so because her broadband is buffering. Quicksilver looks around the room and realises the other mutants in the room are all online on various devices. He uses his mutant ability to zip around the room at great speed, turning off the other mutants’ devices while they are frozen in time, all in an effort to save the girl from the poor performing broadband. Unfortunately this doesn’t help and the girl tells him that superfast Sky Fibre is the solution they need. He races off again and installs Sky Fibre in no time at all." (corporate.sky.com)
Now that we've seen the featurette, here's a look at a quartet of posters for The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, as revealed on Twitter @XMenMovies - featuring Angel, Magneto, Pyslocke and Storm all nicely paintery-portrayed. Storm looks positively "adorable", doesn't she? :p
