Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.
– In this week’s Axel-in-Charge over at CBR, Axel Alonso shares that Leinil Yu likely is not returning to Indestructible Hulk (boooo!) but will be returning to Marvel for…a “top-secret project.” He also shared that Skottie Young’s baby variants will be collected at some point later this year, which is pretty damn cool.
– After much ado was made about the order to remove Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis from Chicago public schools, it looks like it’s not actually going to happen. Robot 6 has the story, but in the face of the controversy, they’ll no longer be teaching Persepolis to 7th grade classes, but they will be keeping it in their libraries. It’s kind of incredible that this type of thing still happens, but we’re a pretty damn sensitive society in our own ways.
– Bleeding Cool (and many other sites) had the story on Friday about Bryan Singer tweeting pictures of his cast for X-Men: Days of Future Past, including the previously unknown additions of Daniel Cudmore as Colossus and Fan Bingbing as Blink. I’m getting more and more excited for this project, and one thing is for damn sure: this is an amazing cast.
