Matthew Vaughan wanted to introduce young Wolverine with 'X-Men: First Class' follow-up
Matthew Vaughan says he had a different vision for the follow-up to his 2011 directorial "X-Men: First Class", that also involved introducing a new, young Wolverine, but the studio, 20th Century Fox, proved to be a hindrance. With "First Class", the filmmaker successfully managed to introduce the younger version of several X-Men characters, including Charles Xavier and Magneto. In an interview with ComingSoon.net, Vaughan said he envisioned "X-Men: Days of Future Past", to be third part of his trilogy but the studio insisted on making it after "First Class". "That's one of the reasons I didn't continue, because they didn't listen to me. My plan was 'First Class', then second film was new young Wolverine in the 70's to continue those characters, my version of the X-Men. "So you'd really get to know all of them, and my finale was gonna be 'Days of Future Past'. That was gonna be my number three where you bring them all... because what's bigger than bringing in (Ian) McKellen and Michael

The series has Leonardo DiCaprio as one of the executive producers with "Castle Rock" veteran Mark Lafferty attached as the showrunner. "The Right Stuff" opens in the height of the Cold War, following the Soviet Union's successful launch of the Sputnik satellite into orbit. NASA's Project Mercury makes instant celebrities of the seven test pilots tapped to be future astronauts, portrayed as heroes before they actually do anything heroic. Glenn is a revered test pilot and committed family man with unwavering principles. He is the only astronaut who was famous before Project Mercury and immediately develops a rivalry with Alan Shepard as both vie to be the first man in space. The series is set to get into production in Florida later this year for a 2020 premiere. David Nutter

Women can be toxic too, says Meryl Streep

During a panel discussion to promote the second season of HBO show "Big Little Lies", Streep said toxicity is not just limited to men as women can also be toxic, reported The Guardian.
