1. X-Men Will Share A Cinematic Universe With The Fantastic Four & DeadPool From Here On In
Retroactive adjustments have always been abound in the X-Men Universe, as the studio have struggled to keep a sense of continuity between installments. The whole thing stands as a bit of a mess at the moment, and there are plot holes everywhere (Days of Future Past attempted to fix a few of these, but created a bunch of new ones in the process). Still, all that aside, both the Fantastic Four and Deadpool are set to join the existing X-Men Universe, presumably in a bid to compete with Warner Bros., Sony and Marvel/Disney. Yes, we were recently treated to the news that the new rebooted Fantastic Four movie - starring Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell and Miles Tenner - and the upcoming Deadpool flick - starring Ryan Reynolds - will be considered as part of a shared cinematic universe with the X-Men movies; a change that we assume will first find itself initiated - at least on X-Men movie terms - with the arrival of Apocalypse. Which means that, complicated as this franchise already is, it's about to get a whole lot more confusing. Um, yay? Like this article? Let us know in the comments section below.
