Check It Out: 'New Mutants' Film Finds Its Sunspot & Cannonball

By

The two most memorable, and consistent members of most the Marvel New Mutants title are Cannonball and Sunspot, and now it appears FOX has found their versions of the characters.  Henry Zaga (13 Reasons Why) has been tapped to play Sunspot, with Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) playing Cannonball.  If you recall Charlie Heaton was the older brother/photographer: Jonathan Byers on the Netflix hit Stranger Things.

*Updated: Blu Hunt (The Originals) has been cast Danille Moonstar also known by her alter egos Psyche and Mirage.  Moonstar is a Cheyenne Native who has the power to create illusions.

Charlie Heaton
Henry Zaga

Personally I have never been a huge fan of either of these character with their banter back and forth always coming off as exhausting in multiple runs involving the characters across various titles.  I have yet to see 13 Reasons Why so it would be unfair of me to speculate on what type of Cannonball Zaga will be.  Heaton on the other hand has to be seen as good casting, if not for the character then simply for his perception as a fast rising star in Hollywood's inner circles.

New Mutants will be directed by Josh Boone (Fault in Our Stars), and is currently slated for a April 13th 2018 release.

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

By

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
