In Cobra Commander #2, Cobra Commander faces monstrous alligators with glowing purple eyes, seemingly mutated by Energon. This new species could be a Beast Wars-style take on the Allicons, from 1986's Transformers: The Movie. The Energon Universe has included plenty of nods to the movie, including the Allicons' rulers, the Quintessons.

Warning: spoilers ahead for Cobra Commander #2!Thanks to the Energon Universe, the worlds of G.I. Joe and Transformers have never been tied more closely together. Both franchises have seen many old characters reimagined in the new continuity, and a classic Transformers faction may have just made their debut in the pages of the recently released Cobra Commander #2.

Coming from the creative team of Joshua Williamson, Andrea Milana, Annalisa Leoni and Rus Wooten, Cobra Commander #2 finds the titular character hunting for Energon in the swamps of Louisana, where he runs afoul of the Dreadnoks Ripper, Buzzer and Zarana.

Disney has confirmed that the upcoming animated series X-Men ‘97 will be the longest season of Marvel Studios television released on the streaming service with 10 episodes.

In a recent press release, via The Direct, Disney confirmed that X-Men ‘97 will have 10 episodes in its first season, with the initial two debuting together when the show premieres on March 20. This 10 episode count means the animated sequel to the popular 90s series beats out WandaVision, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and both seasons of What if…?. Previously, each of those shows were tied for the longest Disney+ MCU show with 9 episodes.

Gohan and Piccolo have also done an extended run as the main characters during Dragon Ball Super’s Super Hero story arc. Gohan and Piccolo’s recent Beast and Orange transformations make them stronger than ever and on par with Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego strength.

Dragon Ball Super has passionately expanded upon Akira Toriyama’s formative shonen franchise and pushed its storytelling and characters to new levels of greatness.

The Marvels actor Teyonah Parris recently revealed that she did not know she was filming the MCU movie's post-credit scene with the X-Men icon Beast.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Parris, who plays Monica Rambeau in the MCU, explained that she had no idea that the doctor in a lab coat she shared the scene with was a stand-in for Beast, who was added during post-production. "I also went wild," the actor said about seeing the finished film's post-credit scene with the X-Men character. "I'm like, 'Wait a minute! That's not who I filmed with!' And I had no clue until it aired. When we filmed it, it was an actor who was very kind, very nice, and he was dressed in a lab coat. He looked like a normal, regular doctor. No one said, 'By the way, this is going to be a little surprise.' I had zero clue.

Fans and Teyonah Parris were surprised by the debut of X-Men in The Marvels post-credits scene. Parris had no idea Beast would appear, showing Marvel's commitment to secrecy. Marvel's strategy to keep surprises intact for fans has set a new standard for blockbuster films.

Marvel Studios managed to pull off a genuine surprise in their latest film, The Marvels. The post-credits scene provided audiences with their first glimpse of the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a moment that left fans in awe. But the astonishment wasn't limited to just the viewers; Teyonah Parris, who stars in the film, was equally taken aback by the unexpected cameo of Beast.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Parris revealed her surprise, stating that she had no prior knowledge of the X-Men character's inclusion in the movie.

"I also went wild [seeing Beast at the end of The Marvels] because I'm like, 'Wait a minute! That's not who I filmed with!

While The Marvels may not have been the blockbuster sequel that Marvel Studios was hoping for, it did contain one element that had fans talking: a cameo by none other than Beast of the X-Men. The reveal was a big surprise to audiences, even Teyonah Parris, who was actually in the scene but had no idea she would be sharing the screen with the iconic X-Men character.

In The Marvels‘ mid-credits scene, Monica Rambeau (Parris) wakes up in a hospital bed to find an alternate version of her mother as well as X-Men’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast. Although the character was a digital creation this time around, he was voiced by Kelsey Grammer, who played the role in X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

While chatting with Et’s Ash Crossan, Parris revealed she was just as surprised as everyone else when Beast appeared on screen.

The Marvels movie was released in November 2023 and didn’t receive a great response from critics and fans alike. It was the third Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie of 2023 after Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 were released. The Nia DaCosta directorial stars Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, Iman Vellani, Teyonah Parris, Zawe Ashton, Lashana Lynch, Park Seo-joon, and others.

The superhero film brought together Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and a grown-up Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parrish) after Captain Marvel (2019). Even Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) joins the force to fight against a new space villain, Dar-Benn (Zawe Ashton). Despite all of this, The Marvels failed to impress the audience. However, what got everyone’s attention was the post-credits scene.

In The Marvels’ post-credit scene, Monica gets pushed into another universe. She meets her mom, Maria Rambeau, at the hospital.

Sara Grey almost replaced Jean on the X-Men team, offering a fresh perspective and dynamic for the franchise. Chris Claremont believed Sara's potential could have saved the X-Men from the consequences of Jean's resurrection. Resurrecting Jean derailed character development, while Sara's inclusion could have provided a new, interesting direction.

Jean Grey's inclusion on the X-Men during Chris Claremont's classic run almost had her replaced by her forgotten sister, Sara. Debuting in 1980, Sara Grey was Jean's human sister who was hinted at having latent mutant powers that hadn't surfaced yet. Before those powers can manifest, she's killed by anti-mutant fanatics for being a spokesperson for mutant rights in support of her sister.

Sara Grey's overall time in X-Men comics is relatively brief and of little consequence. However, Chris Claremont confirmed in an interview with the podcast Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men that he originally had bigger...

Fans were shocked by The Marvels' post-credits scene featuring the X-Men, including Teyona Parris, the actress who was surprised as well. Parris filmed with Beast in the scene, not knowing it was a cameo or surprise until she watched it in the theater like everyone else. Marvel kept details of the X-Men's inclusion from Parris, possibly to maintain secrecy until the premiere of The Marvels.

Audiences were shocked when they found out The Marvels' post-credits scene included the first look at the X-Men in the MCU, and they weren't the only ones. In fact, even actor Teyona Parris, who was in the scene with Beast, didn't know that he was going to be in the movie. She found out while watching the movie in the theater, just like everyone else.

According to Parris in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, when she filmed The Marvels' post-credits scene, Beast was simply a normal doctor.

The casting of The Crown’s Emma Corrin in Deadpool & Wolverine’s in a lead role has led to plenty of speculation as to whether they’re playing the film’s villain. Although some thought she’d be playing a variant version of Deadpool to give a twist on Lady Deadpool, others were adamant she’d bring Cassandra Nova to the party. Now, it looks like the latter has been confirmed.

As seen on the US Copyright Office site, Corrin’s character is listed as “Cassandra Nova,” seemingly confirming they’ll be playing the villainous twin sister of Charles Xavier. Introduced in 2001’s New X-Men #114, Cassandra Nova has similar telekinetic and telepathic powers to Charles Xavier. But instead of using them for good, she tried to eradicate the so-called “mutant menace” by dispatching an army of Sentinel robots to the mutant island of Genosha, massacring millions of mutants in the process.

Brock Lesnar, hailed as one of the most versatile athletes in the history of combat and entertainment sports, has been a key asset to WWE for years. Following his last match against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in 2023, Lesnar has been absent from in-ring appearances. However, he almost made a WWE Superstar retire for good after an outburst in the ring.

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar has attained multiple notable milestones in his WWE career, driven by his ruthless aggression and larger-than-life personality. He is called The Beast Incarnate and that is more accurate than most nicknames for pro wrestlers, as he was truly a beast in the ring, with a commanding presence whenever he competed.

When Marvel Studios announced Avengers: The Kang Dynasty in 2022, it seemed like the smart call. Everyone knew another Avengers movie was coming, and Kang the Conqueror is a big deal villain in Marvel Comics who certainly, on paper, seems like a new Thanos-level threat. His time travel gimmick seemed to build off the plot device introduced in Avengers: Endgame, and as Marvel dove head first into what it dubbed The Multiverse Saga, Kang and his many variants made sense. With rising star Jonathan Majors set to play Kang, it seemed like Marvel had a winning formula.

Then everything went sideways. Kang made his debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Qunatumania, which was a box office and critical disappointment. One month later, Majors was arrested on domestic assault charges and, after a year-long legal battle, was found guilty, and Marvel Studios fired him from the role on the same day.

It’s been more than two years since FromSoftware released Elden Ring, and Soulslike fans have been feasting on the game ever since. The grind hasn’t stopped, with fans of the game clocking well over 1000 hours on it, discovering secrets, Easter eggs, hidden boss fights, and more.

With the game’s Dlc, Shadow of the Erdtree, coming out in June, one would think the grind would slow down, but fans continue to play it and discover more secrets. One of the fans recently discovered a new boss fight that was missed in their earlier playthroughs.

X-Men ’97 is ready to grace the arcade cabinets of Arcade1Up in an exciting tie-in with Marvel. Fans of X-Men have much to look forward to as the Disney+ revival of the franchise is well underway.

X-Men ’97 is a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series that aired from 1992-1997. The events of the upcoming series will be based on the events after the death of the leader of the X-Men, Professor X. The series is under production by Marvel and is likely to hit studios sometime in 2024.

While fans wait for the series to drop, Marvel has collaborated with Arcade1Up to launch their brand new arcade machine, which premiered on February 27, 2024 at Disney’s Epcot.

The Arcade Prequel to X-Men ‘97 The X-Men ’97 arcade machine includes 10 classic games.

With the animated series yet to hit TV screens, Marvel has announced another exciting venture to keep X-Men fans hooked.

In March, Disney+ will be taking us back to the past with "X-Men '97," the continuation of the beloved "X-Men" animated series that was a staple of Saturday morning cartoons. With all the nostalgic excitement swirling around Marvel's mutants, the gamers over at Arcade1Up are releasing a special edition X-Men video game cabinet featuring artwork inspired by "X-Men '97" and a collection of eight games featuring our favorite mutant superheroes and villains.

Announced at a special event at Epcot Center this morning, Arcade1Up revealed the new X-Men '97 Art Edition Deluxe Arcade Machine featuring "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" as the starring game. The cabinet itself is covered in "X-Men '97" artwork.

Daredevil channels the Hand of God once again to face off against a corrupted Wolverine, showcasing his ultimate form and no remorse justice style.

In Dragon Ball Super, Caulifa and Kale were two fan favorite Saiyans from Universe 6 who competed in the Tournament of Power and trained under Goku. Throughout the Dragon Ball franchise, Goku and Vegeta have unlocked many power ups, including Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, but they were no match for Black Frieza. Caulifla and Kale could help in the fight against Frieza by potentially unlocking Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego either on their own or in their fusion form, Kefla.

Dragon Ball Super introduced dozens of new characters to the Dragon Ball franchise. Many of these new characters were introduced during the Universal Survival saga as participants in the Tournament of Power. Two of the participants who fans fell in love with the most were the Universe 6 Saiyans, Caulifla and Kale. The first female Super Saiyans in the franchise, fans adored their contrasting personalities, their epic fights and attacks, and their fused form,...

Not many people have seen "Madame Web" and an even smaller slice of the moviegoing population like the movie.

It stuck out to me that star Dakota Johnson seems to be under the impression that the film was set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don't know if this is Sony Pictures feeding the actors and/or their agents misleading information or if movie stars like Johnson (understandably) can't be bothered to learn the nerdy logistics of these franchises.

Still, this got me thinking how the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't have a "no previous superhero roles" bar to entry. Oscar Isaac, who played the villain in the disastrous "X-Men: Apocalypse," was then recruited to star in "Moon Knight." Christian Bale, a generation's Dark Knight, played Gorr the God Butcher in "Thor: Love and Thunder" because of his children's pleading.

In "Madame Web," Sydney Sweeney plays Julia Cornwall, the future Spider-Woman.

This post contains spoilers for "Loki" season 2.

"Deadpool 3" — or rather, "Deadpool & Wolverine" — dropped its first trailer during Super Bowl Lviii and confirmed that Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) will be journeying deep into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Specifically, on the ground first tread by the Disney+ series "Loki," which wrapped its second season last year.

When Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox went through, the expectation (at least for most folks) was that the old "X-Men" films would be wiped away in a blank slate reboot. However, the MCU has since been pulling from those previously unconnected X-movies; clearly, Marvel Studios would prefer to bank on audience familiarity with Fox's X-Men. Patrick Stewart showed up in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" as Professor X and Kelsey Grammer cameoed as Beast in the post-credit scene of "The Marvels." Whether or not these were the original characters or unique...

Captain Marvel could appear in "The Marvels 2/Captain Marvel 3" and reunite with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan. A potential second season of "Ms. Marvel" could feature a cameo or extended appearance by Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel may join forces with Shang-Chi in "Shang-Chi 2" to help him understand the powerful relics inherited from his father.

Following The Marvels, it's not yet been confirmed where Captain Marvel will appear next in the MCU. At the end of her new team-up movie with Kamala Kahn (Iman Vellani) and Captain Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) was back on Earth with Kamala, and it seemed as though she might be sticking around. However, the Captain Marvel sequel leaves her future somewhat ambiguous.

There are a handful of likely MCU projects in which Captain Marvel could make her next appearance, both confirmed and otherwise. As one of the most powerful Avengers, it stands...

Professor X is confirmed to exist in The Marvels' new universe, and his appearance is highly likely. Magneto, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, is likely to have a part to play in the McU's future. Wolverine's overwhelming popularity makes his inclusion in The Marvels' new X-Men universe almost guaranteed.

The Marvels teased the Fox X-Men universe was closer to the MCU than ever, raising the question of which specific mutants are most likely to appear after the film. After The Marvels' climactic ending saw Monica Rembeau fixing a rift in space-time, she was transported to another universe entirely. Rambeau/Photon awakened in what seemed to be the original X-Men universe after The Marvels' ending, coming face-to-face with Hank McCoy/Beast and Binary, a variant of Monica's mother, Maria Rambeau.

The inclusion of Binary in The Marvels' post-credit scene seemed to lower the likelihood that the...

The wait for X-Men '97 may be ending sooner than previously thought.

In development for years, X-Men '97 serves as a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, picking up right where the original left off. Several of the same cast members have returned with the classic art style carrying over for the new show to make the revival seem as seamless as possible. The biggest issue that fans have faced has been the wait, and there were previously reports that the show wouldn't be arriving until later in the spring, somewhere around April or May 2024. Per The Direct, it was more recently confirmed during The Walt Disney Corporation's earnings presentation on Wednesday that the series is set to debut on Disney+ in "early 2024," which could suggest the new show's arrival is coming earlier than expected.

The post-credits scene in The Marvels introduces a different version of Maria Rambeau who doesn't know Monica and is involved with the X-Men. This alternate Maria Rambeau is referred to as Binary, a character in Marvel Comics who is associated with Carol Danvers and has ties to the X-Men. It's unclear if this version of Binary has the same history as Carol's, or if she is a new character created for the MCU. The scene doesn't specify if it's the Fox X-Men universe or a new one.

The Marvels' post-credits scene leaves one big question unanswered: who is this other Maria Rambeau? Maria has had a unique MCU journey, popping up in three distinct realities. Originally, she appeared in Captain Marvel as Carol Danvers' fellow fighter pilot and best friend. Later, Rambeau passed away in the main MCU, but that wasn't the last time she appeared. An alternate universe version of Monica Rambeau,...

Wolverine's son, Akihiro (aka Fang), is killed by Sabretooth, and his body parts are scattered in the snow. Wolverine's extreme ferocity is ineffective against Sabretooth and his army. Wolverine is tied up and witnesses the deaths of nearly everyone inside the fortress. Akihiro's death is confirmed to be permanent, with no chance of return in X-Men canon. The fall of Krakoa and the neutralization of mutant resurrection protocols and cloning make his resurrection impossible.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Wolverine #42! Death in the world of comics is seemingly always nothing more than a temporary setback (unless one is talking about the death of Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben), and X-Men’s Wolverine is the poster child for that particular sentiment. Wolverine and those with powers similar to his - Sabretooth, Deadpool, X-23, Daken, etc. - have been unkillable since even before the Krakoan era. However, that’s no longer the case,...

The introduction of Beast in The Marvels post-credits scene indicates that more of Fox's X-Men cast will be coming to the MCU. Characters like Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Professor X, Toad, Mystique, and Magneto should follow Beast into the MCU. The MCU has the opportunity to rectify previous portrayals and showcase the true powers and potential of these X-Men characters.

Now that The Marvels has been released on Disney Plus, there will be even more eyes on the bombshell post-credits scene that saw one of the original X-Men movie characters, Beast, debuting in the MCU - and he should be followed by many more. Now that Marvel has regained the movie rights for the X-Men, the MCU is gearing up to introduce them in earnest, following a smattering of cameos and references in recent MCU releases. The first of these appearances should be in Deadpool 3,...

"Would I love to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? I mean, sure. Of course it'd be fun in the right project. I heard Sam Raimi's doing Secret Wars, is that right?" Manganiello asked. "I don't know, man. I don't much about [Agent Venom], I'd imagine that'd be over at Sony. It would be very funny to come back that way."

Actor Aaron Stanford is open to reprising his role as Pyro in the MCU, but he would need to consider it. Stanford's character could potentially appear in Deadpool 3 or Avengers: Secret Wars. Stanford's return would likely be a cameo, as it's possible Pyro will be recast for the McU's X-Men reboot.

Years after his last appearance in 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise, actor Aaron Stanford has now addressed his potential return in the MCU. Following Disney's acquisition of Fox in 2019, several mutant characters from Marvel Comics have now been able to make appearances in the McU's Multiverse Saga. While Ms. Marvel's Kamala Khan and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Namor have been confirmed as mutants in the McU's main continuity, some actors have also reprised their roles from Fox's X-Men Universe, including the likes of Patrick Stewart and Kelsey Grammer, who will soon be joined by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

LeFou's portrayal as a gay character in Beauty and the Beast was not explicitly clear, leading to criticism and accusations of queerbaiting. Actor Josh Gad, who played LeFou, expressed regret that the film did not go further in depicting a gay character in a Disney movie. Critics and Gad believe that if LeFou was intended to be Disney's first openly gay character, it should have been made more explicit and handled better in the film.

LeFou is a secondary antagonist in 2017's Beauty and the Beast, and several changes are made to him from the original animated feature - however, Josh Gad has some regrets about the final character in the film.
