The Disney-Fox merger is looking more imminent every day, as Disney seems to be making moves to acquire some of Fox’s most lucrative properties.

Remember that rumor that Disney was in talks to buy a bunch of film and TV properties from Fox? Apparently the deal is heating up again.

It seems that Channing Tatum’s long-developing — and frequently delayed — Gambit movie is finally back in business. After losing two directors and his leading lady, Tatum took the X-Men spinoff back to the drawing board to re-develop the screenplay. With Fox’s X-Men universe quickly expanding following the success of Deadpool, it looks like the studio is ready to give Gambit the green light, and they’re eyeing Lizzy Caplan to join Tatum.

The debut of Marvel’s Punisher spinoff brings the grand total of MCU and X-universe series up to eleven; soon to be twelve with Hulu’s Runaways. From the slums of Hell’s Kitchen to the moon, the time is now to rank all of Marvel’s current-generation live-action series, including our beloved Defenders, mutants and more.

Could the X-Men finally be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe? CNBC dropped quite the scoop on Monday afternoon, revealing Disney may be gobbling up the majority of 20th Century Fox. The new report from CNBC reveals 20th Century Fox has been holding talks over selling portions of the company to Disney...

The latest film from the X-Universe looks more like a horror film than a superhero adventure. Check out the trailer here.

The X-Men’s film future is far from over, but mutants are only just getting started on TV. Meet Blink, Polaris, Thunderbird and more in a full six-minute clip from FOX’s The Gifted, ahead of next week’s premiere.

She’s a rock star, a mutant, and a superhero. She is Alison Blaire, known as Dazzler, and she has had no luck getting into one of the X-Men movies so far. In the past there have been rumors that superstar Taylor Swift might appear in the character, and in X-Men: Apocalypse, there was even a very brief cameo for the character, on the cover of a record in a music shop, that wound up getting cut from the finished film.

X-Men: Apocalypse wasn’t so apocalyptic for the X-Men; their next movie is on the way, and it’s got a director and a release date lined up.

No more teleporting around an official name; Marvel’s FOX mutant drama is here, and ordered to series. Meet The Gifted, as Bryan Singer’s X-Men TV series gets an official series order, and its very first teaser.

The first X-Men movie opened on July 14, 2000. A child born early that year would have just turned 17 by the time the tenth entry in the X-Men series, Logan, hits theaters next month. That is fortunate – viewers are going to need a driver’s license to get into this movie, which possesses the hardest R rating of any American superhero movie in history. In the past, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine would swing his razor-sharp adamantium claws and bad guys would simply fall to the ground. There was never any visible evidence of his brutality. There’s more graphic violence in Logan’s first scene – severed limbs, gruesome disembowlings – than in all of the other of the Wolverine and X-Men movies combined.

Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? That question, posed by Jack Nicholson's Joker in the 1989 Batman movie, comes across as an esoteric threat in that context; a destabilizing glimpse into the mind of a madman. Yet the exact same question asked by the X-Men character Nightcrawler would seem like an invitation to possibly the most romantic night of your life, and you'd probably be swept off your feet. If Nightcrawler is a devil, he makes it look good --- perhaps just as much as the Joker makes clowns look bad.
