Don’t Expect The Classic Cast In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ By Russ Fischer/April 21, 2014 11:00 am EST Simon Kinberg is writing both films, and at WonderCon this past weekend he explained a few things about the intersection of X-Men: Apocalypse and the “classic cast” led by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. That is, there probably won’t be any. Kingberg talked to HitFix at WonderCon, dancing around something many fans have assumed: that the end of this film will find the future of the “classic cast” eliminated, and with the exception of the time-traveling Wolverine, the need for the cast with it....

Longer ‘Beautiful Creatures’ Trailer Gives Up Story And Campy Weirdness By Russ Fischer/Nov. 16, 2012 7:00 am EST Is Beautiful Creatures the next Twilight?
