X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants Have Been Delayed
Fans looking forward to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants, get ready for some disappointing news. Both of the films mentioned before will be getting delayed for different reasons.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix has been pushed back from November 2018 to February 14, 2019. This is due to scheduling conflicts between actors needed for reshoots for the film. Reshoots are common practice in the movie industry but as we have learned over the years, some are good (Rogue One), and others are far worse (Multiple DCEU Movies).
New Mutants was already delayed once for reshoots and now it’s being delayed for a second time for more reshoots. New Mutants was planned to come out in April 2018, where it was pushed back to February 2019. Now, it got pushed all the way to August 2, 2019. The reason for the first delay was to make it scarier. So, Director Josh Boone delivered a cut of the film that he was satisfied with. However, FOX now wants to do more reshoots so the movie can stand out as tonally distinct the same way Logan and Deadpool did.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix will open in theatres on February 14, 2019.
The New Mutants will open in theatres on August 2, 2019.
Although we don’t have any footage of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, New Mutants did release a trailer a couple of months ago which you can check out down below:

Gillian Anderson to Leave X-Files After Season 11
As the 10-episode season return of X-Files draws near, fans can also prepare to say goodbye to the beloved Dana Scully.
Gillian Anderson raised suspicion back in October at New York Comic Con about her departure from the show, but in a recent interview with TV Guide she confirmed this will be her last season.
“I’ve said from the beginning this is it for me,” said Anderson. “I was a bit surprised by people’s [shocked] reaction to my announcement because my understanding was that this was a single season.”
Fox has not committed to any other seasons after the 11th, however series creator Chris Carter insists to TV Guide that he did not craft the last episode as a series finale. “There are a lot more X-Files stories to tell,” he said. “Whether we get to tell them is a question mark.”
The series returns Jan. 3 @ 8/7 c.

Karin Konoval to Return to The X Files Season 11
Karin Konoval is returning during The X Files.
Konoval was on the show way back in 1996, during season 4, when she played a mutant-breeding amputee who was kept under a bed. The episode “Home,” was so prominently disturbing, it was named one of the scariest instalments of the series.
“While Karin Konoval won’t be reprising her role as the mother-under-the-bed in the fan-favorite episode ‘Home,’ she will be returning in a tour-de-force performance in an early episode,” said showrunner Chris Carter, “or, more accurately — performances.”
