Mm, fairly mediocre episode X-men. Jean expositions the bad guys entire backstory with psychic residue from his childhood home. They never meet him once. He talks big and super confident and then completely loses. More Marvel cameos was cute though.

Tangentially, I can’t take Nimrod seriously. Like I know he’s a big bad, but he looks kind of silly and Bugs Bunny has ruined the name for me for all time.

Hilarious that the name is ruined by people's inability to understand sarcasm. Never been a fan of this arc myself, but its being done well here.

Mostly just an action episode and it had some really good bits of action. The perspective shot of Kurt's teleport was great, even if the nein pun carried some heavy Sorcellation energy:

Some of the action was indeed great. Logan and Kurt going to town on those guys was cool. Summers family was the weak point in the episode. All exposition and much less cool action scenes.

Crasher? Nimrod suddenly became exponentially cooler...

**Lance845**

Nimrod has becomes infinitely cooler when he got a personality in the lat 5 years of the comics. It helps seeing things like him cave in Juggernauts helmet/skull and/or him completely overwhelm and crush Apocalypse in a fight.

Big fan of Nimrod.

I would say it’s less not understanding sarcasm and more not knowing the reference he was making.

Agreed. That's a better way to say it.

Paul Walter Hauser Joins Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’ - Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Paul Walter Hauser is having quite a week. After being tapped for the role of Ed, Frank Drebin’s partner, in the untitled Naked Gun reboot from Paramount Pictures, as we were also first to report, we now hear the actor has come aboard Marvel Studios‘ The Fantastic Four.

For now, Hauser’s role in the superhero flick is under wraps, as is its plot. As previously reported, pic’s core cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka the Thing). Most recently, Julia Garner came aboard to play Shalla-Bal, a version of Silver Surfer.

Some rumors are saying he'll voice H.E.R.B.I.E. while others are saying that since he wasn't announced with the rest of the FF he will be playing a villian (possibly their first villian, Mole Man).

So, apparently there is some legal trouble regarding the actress that played She Hulk. She was supposed to have some cameo scenes in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie, but they were cut. She's blaming Ryan Reynolds for it.

Please share a link?

I tried googling and all that came up were Mike Zeroh videos and some Reddit types saying Mike Zeroh made it up.

I've spent an hour today trying to find any actual source for any of this and it looks like it really is just the normal youtube channels slinging made up bs especially if it involves a female cast member. Nothing to see here.

Actually, I got that from a yahoo news article. Can't find it now, but I'll look harder later.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Thanks for looking for it.

Sounds like Yahoo ran with it before verifying it.

It’s why we always have to double check the interesting stories.

If it was wrong at least they took it down. Many would simply keep republishing it, and act as if it was real.

Given Cuda1179 reported, and now claims the link no longer works, but hasn’t presented said link? There’s evidence missing before we can draw any kind of conclusion.

Is Yahoo mainstream media?

It is not. Especially the entertainment end of it, which tends more towards being a blogger reposting crap.

Galactus is coming.

British actor Ralph Ineson (“The First Omen,” “The Witch”) is the latest addition to the cast of Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four,” as the world-devouring cosmic villain Galactus.

So who had Ralph Ineson as Galactus on their MCU Casting bingo card?...
