The flow and pacing was done well on Songbirds & Snakes, which isn't often the case with books turned into movies.

Hopefully he turns out a great script, with older established characters that can bring out the acting chops. Enough with the younger version movies.

tbf suzanne collins was a screenwriter before she started writing novels, and honestly the way she writes reflects that from what bits and pieces of the hunger games i skimmed through ages ago

Oh wow! I didn't know that about her. I wonder if she wrote all those books with the intention of them being movies from the very start.

She did if she was thinking about the cash money babyyyyyyyy $$$$$$$

Hope is high since '97 did so well!

How about no Dark Phoenix ever? That and very little Xavier would be my two requests but I know the last one ain’t happening, but we don’t need another Xavier v. Magneto when history has proven he’s 100% right.

I'm curious if one of the Wolverine variants will be the new Wolverine for this era of X-Men.
