Scott Derrickson to direct Dr. Strange feature film!

[GRIFT]

Rob Liefield is saying the previous plans for X-Force have gone out the window.

[livid]

I guess it's hard to question the guy that created it but how does that work? Wouldn't them involving Cable in Apocalypse mean they could spin off from that and expand the universe?

[TKz]

I imagine it's more a case of them having plans for X-Force that didn't count on Apocalypse, which will now have to be radically changed because Apocalypse is happening.

[LL!]

Aaaaaaaand a third director pulls out of Ant-Man, allegedly.

Yeah there's differing reports that say he was never offered the job so he probably just pulled his name from contention. Still, that's not exactly a good thing either. Edited June 4, 2014 by livid

I'll do it.

I don't know a darn thing about Ant-Man, but this whole director musical chairs is hilarious.

The time table for the X-Force movies, which had previously been rumored to be in the pipeline after Days of Future Past will now be pushed back. It is totally possible that it will be as a spinoff to this movie but for now the extra step of Apocalypse has changed the original plans.

So far it's really just the one director dropping out, followed by three guys who had other things to do. I don't think anyone's actually dropped out other than Wright.

It stars Paul Rudd as a guy who can shrink to tiny size due to a scientific experiment conducted by Michael Douglas. Sounds like a winner to me.

Saw Days of Future Past today. Pretty good, not sure where it being on par with Avengers or Cap 2 is coming from beyond people who really love the X-Men franchise. Very surprised at how much I enjoyed Quicksilver.

Adam McKay was confirmed to direct, then he dropped out at the 11th hour.

So... Jared Leto is rumoured to be being lined up to play Doctor Strange.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Really? Last I heard the decision was still Up In The Air.

[TKz]

I quite like Jared Leto and he's clearly improved as an actor.

[zero]

That would be rad.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

The more I think about it, the more I hope this isn't just A Beautiful Lie.

[zero]

He is a goddamn Hurricane of professional acting, after all.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

For all we know this rumour could just be A Modern Myth.
