X-Men: Apocalypse is “Heartbreaking”, Wraps Up Six Movies
Magneto has made veteran X-Men director Bryan Singer cry on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse.
During the San Pedro International Film Festival, Singer was asked about what to expect from the upcoming X-Men movie.
In his response, Singer mentioned that fans can expect a running time in excess of two hours, but that doesn't mean X-Men: Apocalypse is boring.
Singer refers to it as a "wrap-up of six movies" and said we can expect the trailer in six months.
Expect an emphasis on pathos in the sixth core X-Men movie and, in particular, a scene from Michael Fassbender that made his director cry.

Bryan Cranston Reveals The Marvel Villain He Wants to Play
Remember how Bryan Cranston recently said he'd like to play a "nasty" Marvel villain? He just revealed who he has in mind.
During a panel for his new show SuperMansion at New York Comic-Con - moderated by IGN's Eric Goldman - Cranston revealed he'd like to play Mr. Sinister.
"What do you think?" he asked the crowd, which preceded to go wild.
Cranston had previously said he'd like to play a completely new villain, but it seems he's changed his mind. And why not? Mr. Sinister was introduced into the X-Men universe in 1987, and is one of those "all-in-one" mutants: a telepathic genius who can project energy, shape-shift, regenerate and generally be a real pain in the ass to anybody who dares to cross him. More, he's yet to appear in Fox's cinematic X-Men series. Said Cranston, "“It intrigues me to be able to play a character that hasn’t been on film before, so you can create it from the beginning."

Mark Hamill Returning in The Flash: S2 as the Trickster
Mark Hamill will definitely be reprising his role as the Trickster in The Flash's second season.
After a photo of Hamill posing with a Flash crew member sprung up on Reddit, Hamill himself confirmed the news in a now deleted Tweet (as nabbed by TheFlashPodcast.com). He has since recirculated others reporting the news on Twitter.
Hamill first starred as the Trickster in the John Wesley Shipp series in 1990, and went on to play the character - spectacularly - in an episode of The CW's speedster show.

Pan Bombs Big at the Weekend Box Office
As had been widely expected, director Joe Wright's Pan failed to fly at the box office this weekend, opening in third place with an estimated $15.5 million. The fantasy epic starring Hugh Jackman reportedly carries a hefty $150 million price tag.
Hope that Pan could make up ground overseas appears dim as it only pulled in roughly $20.5 million abroad. Pan was initially set for a summer release before getting postponed to October.
Pan wasn't the only film getting bad news this weekend. Director Robert Zemeckis' The Walk faced a muted response during its initial exclusive IMAX engagement and fared poorly in wide release, finishing in seventh place with an estimated $3.7 million.
