Why won't Marvel let Hugh Jackman's Wolverine retire in peace?

There was once a time when Hugh Jackman Wolverine cameos made a sort of sense. Bursting out of a cell in full Weapon X gear, massacring half a bunker, then vanishing, in 2016's otherwise pretty forgettable X-Men: Apocalypse. Telling potential recruitment team Magneto and Professor X to, er, go fuck themselves while propping up a bar in 2011's X-Men: First Class. Even popping up via archived footage from X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2018's Deadpool 2.

Beer? Yes. Crocs? No. Crocodile Dundee pub enters a new era

An enormous Bowie knife whirls through the air and thuds into a wooden bar, sending a shudder of excitement through the cluster of men wearing leather hats, blue jeans, flannelette vests and dirty tees carousing in an outback pub. Bursting through the front door, a man follows the knife, engaged, it seems, in mortal combat with a saltwater crocodile. But the drinkers erupt with laughter as the mad bugger adorned in crocodile teeth and skin wrangles the stuffed beast to the bar.

Love Actually star says romcoms have lost their magic

If modern romcoms aren't sweeping you off your feet any more, you're not the only one wondering where the magic went. Romantic comedies are just not as good as they used to be, according to one of the stars of Love Actually. Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who played lovestruck teenager Sam in Richard Curtis's 2003 Christmas film, said the rise of streaming had led to rushed, cheaper productions, draining the genre of the spark it had in its 1990s heyday.

The Year Superhero Movies Turned To Hope

What makes a protagonist cool? When it comes to heroic narratives, there tends to be a binary; either our star character is tight-lipped and detached, or they are forthright and obvious. This dichotomy is probably best exemplified as the difference between DC's Batman and Superman. Regardless of all the evidence to the contrary, our shared default notions of the two heroes come down to this: Batman is brooding, a man of few words, while Superman often smiles and is generally more chatty.
