Helldivers 2’s first major update, Escalation of Freedom, has dropped and it’s packing quite a lot of changes. Among them is the addition of some new enemy types, and the Impaler is probably the most fearsome of them all. OG Helldivers players may remember them from the first game, and now they’re back and even more…

It’s been two weeks since Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine slashed its way into theaters, giving Marvel zombies a much-needed jolt to the nether regions with absurd action, cameos, and surprises. It’s Spoiler City on social media now, and avoiding many of the movie’s “big pops” is tricky. Ryan Reynolds is happy to share some of his favorite memories from making the money-printing film, including the return of Dafne Keen’s Laura Kinney, aka X-23.
“When Dafne Keen shows up in #DeadpoolAndWolverine she shines her light toward the big beating heart of the movie. Dafne and Hugh standing next to each other is a pinch me moment. It stands on the shoulders of the LOGAN film which is both a masterpiece and a giant,” Reynolds wrote on social media. The post includes multiple images of Keen entering “Berzerker Mode” as she fights alongside other heroes of Fox’s retired Marvelverse to help Deadpool and Wolverine return to the Merc with a Mouth’s timeline.

Keen made her Marvel debut in James Mangold’s highly regarded 2017 action drama Logan. In the film, Logan (Hugh Jackman) and Laura join forces to help rescue a group of young mutants from being abducted by scientists and used for cruel experimentation. The bond they forge throughout the emotionally charged adventure is the stuff comic book drama is made of. Audiences were brought to literal tears by the end of Logan’s journey, as the Wolverine leaves Laura with his memory and legacy. Dafne Keen’s performance in Logan was so impactful that fans immediately ran to social media to beg Marvel for an X-23 spinoff. While that didn’t happen, her character’s return in Deadpool & Wolverine is a welcomed surprise from the House of Ideas.
With Laura in the MCU, an X-23 movie is possible. Keen seems to love the role, and more of Laura can only lead to good things. Would you like to see a new Wolverine movie starring Dafne Keen as Laura Kinney, aka X-23? What other mutants would you include in the plot, if any? What was your cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine?

With the release of the 1985-set horror film MaXXXine, director Ti West and franchise star Mia Goth have wrapped up the trilogy they started with the 1979-set slasher X and continued with the 1918-set prequel Pearl. Now A24, the production and distribution company behind the trilogy, has announced that they’re teaming up with author Tim Waggoner to send novelizations of all three films in the series out into the world!
Waggoner previously wrote the novelizations of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and Halloween Kills, as well as the upcoming Terrifier 2 novelization, which reaches store shelves in October. As for this A24 series, Fangoria reports that “the first in the trilogy, X, will be published later this fall on September 24. Pearl‘s novelization will follow on November 19, and MaXXXine is currently set for release in early 2025.” According to A24, “Author Tim Waggoner translates West’s vision into pulpy print format with grisly new details drawn from the original screenplay.” The covers for the novelizations have already been unveiled and can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Written and directed by West, X has the following synopsis: In 1979, a group of young filmmakers set out to make an adult film in rural Texas, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the cast find themselves fighting for their lives.
West directed Pearl from a script he wrote with Goth, telling the following story: Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide, in the stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X’s iconic villain.
Director West had the sole writing credit again on MaXXXine, which has this synopsis: In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.
Are you a fan of X, Pearl, and/or MaXXXine, and are you glad to hear the films will be getting the novelization treatment? Let us know if you’ll be buying these novelizations by leaving a comment below.
