All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.

James Gunn reveals that a ‘POLKA-DOT MAN’ prequel series has been discussed, which would focus on “his mother & her many superhero children.” “It's not in active development, but we talked about it.”

For the past two years, I’ve been working non-stop on scouting and philosophy because... 1. Public data is always way behind. 2. I want to understand and maybe even align with the private scouting info teams use. After years of research—following clues from team press conferences, looking at player similarities, and reverse-engineering private data concepts into my own methods—I’ve learned to scout on an NHL level. The validation is pretty cool: it’s when the Oilers pick up a player I specifically liked or advocated for (like Skinner, Arvidsson, Savoie, Levi, Mangiapane, and many many more). This isn't really about me, though. It’s about trying to figure out what those private models track and what GMs look for when they’re scouting talent or making roster decisions.
