Jennifer Lawrence Has “Hope” for Return as Mystique
X-Men: Apocalypse might not be Jennifer Lawrence's last appearance as Mystique.
According to EW, the reason why Apocalypse might be Lawrence's last X-Men movie isn't because of a lack of love for the series.
"I love working with Bryan
, and I love these movies," said Lawrence.
The reason she's considering leaving is because of the "fumes and toxins" of the Mystique body paint that she didn't care about when she signed up for X-Men: First Class at age 20.
"Now I'm almost 25 and I'm like, 'I can't even pronounce this and that's going in my nose. I'm breathing that?'" said Lawrence.
Star Wars: Ep VIII Villain Talk
Oscar winner Benicio del Toro has been offered the role of the villain in Star Wars: Episode VIII, the second film in the next Star Wars trilogy which is being directed by Rian Johnson (Looper).
Episode VIII, of course, will be a direct sequel to J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Disney/Lucasfilm project is set for a May 26, 2017 release. The Force Awakens’ John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac are expected to return for Episode VIII as the heroes of this new chapter in the franchise.
Del Toro has shown an interest in genre projects in recent years, having played The Collector in Guardians of the Galaxy (also for Disney). He was also reportedly in talks to play Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness, though that role eventually went to Benedict Cumberbatch.

2 Marvel Characters DC’s Geoff Johns Wants to Write
At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, DC’s Geoff Johns told IGN what two Marvel comics he would want to work on if he had the chance.
Keep in mind that even though Johns did some work for Marvel years ago, he’s been an exclusive DC writer for years, not to mention the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of the company. He’s a DC man through and through for the foreseeable future, so him working for DC’s biggest rival anytime soon just isn’t in the cards. That’s why it’s kind of cool to hear which characters he’s been eyeing over at Marvel.
His first choice? The Jade Giant himself.

With regard to his upcoming expanded role in Apocalypse, Peters teased, "This year we’re working on something that’s bigger and better, keeping the same elements that worked, then adding a few new ones. I’m really excited to see it all cut together, and I’m excited for people to see it, too."
Pac-Man Champs Compete to Beat Impossible Level
It's supposed to be impossible to beat the 256th level of Pac-Man, but now, 35 years after the classic game's arcade debut, four of the world's best players have accepted that challenge.
The Twin Galaxies Pac-Man Kill Screen Challenge will be broadcast live on TGLive.com at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET this Saturday, July 25th.
Pac-Man's notorious 256th level is a kill screen, a game-breaking programming error that, in this game in particular, causes the right side of the screen to become jumbled with numbers and letters. This error obscures half of the Pac-Man maze and makes completing the level extremely hard, if not impossible.
