What is Marvel Doing with The X-Men?

This Summer has been wild for the nerd world. We’ve been eating pretty swell this far, and we’re about to get a whole lot more. In this episode we try to wrap our heads around the insane amount of casting news that’s come to light. From the Harry Potter series reboot, a shuffling of their Gilderoy Lockhart casting, although no one’s divination skills can figure out why that one happened. On the set of Amazon’s God of War adaptation, a major setback on the titular character puts the whole show’s future up in the air. We heard that the Alabasta arc of the live-action One Piece announced a boatload of their new cast members, but we can’t talk about it just yet.Meanwhile, Marvel Studios is just letting it rip. After San Diego Comic Con and D23, the floodgates are open, the announcements got folks hyped, and the speculations are speculating. Feige is giving us leeway to talk about the Ghost Rider, X-Men, Black Panther 3 casting alongside a trailer for Vision Quest! We got a lot to talk about and never enough time in a day. So lock in and kick it with 2Nerds and an Actor for our takes on all this new information.00:00 — Getting the Name Right00:30 — When Casting News Takes Over the Episode02:40 — Another Trip to Hogwarts05:25 — The Black Snape Debate08:50 — Kit Harington’s Lockhart Era11:30 — Aisha vs. One Piece15:40 — Kratos Takes a Hit19:20 — Dave Bautista Enters the Arena21:50 — The New X-Men Assemble25:10 — Storm Gets Her Moment28:50 — Marvel’s Rogue Problem31:15 — Rogue’s Villain Era33:40 — The Mystery of Beast35:40 — Rewriting Magneto38:40 — The Ryan Gosling Mystery39:15 — Black Panther’s Grown-Up Son42:30 — Ultron Makes His Return45:35 — Bring Back James Spader46:18 — Deleted Scene: The Great Collectible Unboxing Learn more about your ad choices.
