X-Men: Dark Phoenix Per Collider’s source, X-Men: Dark Phoenix’s move is, predictably, due to reshoots. After recent test screenings, the producers felt some additional photography was needed. Here’s the problem: X-Men: Dark Phoenix has a rather high-profile cast.

New ‘ThunderCats’ Series On The Way And Some Fans Are Reeeally Not Happy By Chris Evangelista/May 21, 2018 2:30 pm EST Some things are very sacred to certain people. Like the 1985 animated children’s series ThunderCats for instance.

‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 Clip: Luke Shows Off His Super Strength By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 27, 2018 3:00 pm EST Luke Cage (Mike Coulter) is really loving the hero worship.
