However, a joint beta test across all platforms was confirmed for July 2024 during the State of Play** . This means it will likely be at least Fall 2024 before the game officially launc

The reality is that Matthew Vaughn's X-Men plan would have taken the franchise in a very different direction - and a far more preferable one. It's true that there were risks. It's entirely possible viewers wouldn't have taken to a recast Wolverine, for example, particularly given that character isn't supposed to age. And yet, there'd have been an undeniable sense of momentum, with the stakes continually increasing; character arcs would have been far more organic, with Xavier and Magneto developing in logical and consistent ways, while Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix turn would have carried a greater impact. Fox had their own visionary, but they chose to ignore him, opting for the short-term win inst

A MOBA as opposed to a shooter, Smite is still going to scratch that hero itch. In Smite, you play as a god from one of a ton of different pantheons, with a truly staggering roster of gods to play as, coming in at over

**Marvel Rivals ** has provided a better look at its depiction of one of Marvel's most popular superheroes: Spider-Man. The 6v6 co-op title by NetEase features a roster of Marvel characters from across the Avengers, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more, with characters who haven't been portrayed as often in mainstream media, such as Luna Snow or Magik. Marvel Rivals also has the potential to play with different versions of these characters as they battle their way through various alternate dimensions and timeli

Finally, Vaughn's plans would have resulted in a very different version of X-Men: Dark Phoenix . It sounds as though he planned to build up to this story over the course of three films, probably introducing a new version of Jean Grey in his second film, and featuring her in a significant secondary role in X-Men: Days of Future Past . Indeed, it's possible the early manifestation of Jean's Phoenix powers could have been a side-effect of the time travel; perhaps she'd have psychically probed the mind of the time traveling Wolverine, and learned her f
