As it turns out, the return of the old Marvel Fox heroes was a really big deal for the production, and director Shawn Levy has shared some official behind-the-scenes images of the Legacy characters coming together. Check these out:

 

 

Though fans may be familiar with Elektra and Blade getting their own films, Gambit was a movie that was announced but never got into production. The studio went so far as to have Channing Tatum announced as Gambit at a Hall H panel, but the movie went into Development Hell, and the acquisition of Fox by Disney didn’t help the film’s chances either.

Other heroes that were said to have been courted for an appearance was Ghost Rider, but Nicolas Cage declined an offer to return. There were also rumors that other Fantastic Four members would appear, but the only one that did was Chris Evans’ Human Torch/ Johnny Storm.

So far, Deadpool and Wolverine have been earning mixed reactions from fans with some saying that the movie relied too heavily on nostalgia and was setting a bad precedent for the future of the MCU; but the box office numbers don’t lie, and the film is going down to be the most successful R-rated movie of all time, beating Passion of the Christ.

Deadpool and Wolverine is now showing in theatres.

Now the film is getting a remake with Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls, and though the times have changed, the game definitely hasn’t.

Check out the trailer:

Here’s the official description:

A comedy about basketball hustlers who work on the premise that white men can’t play as well as black men.

Just like the original film, the reboot also has an R-rating, so we should expect some level of raunchiness to go alongside all the street basketball scenes. For an idea about just how raunchy the original movie was, you can check out the trailer here:

Besides Walls and Harlow, I think a lot of fans will notice that the late Lance Reddick is in the film. Though Reddick is known for his serious roles in films like John Wick and series The Wire, he does dabble in comedy from time to time, and it seems like White Men Can’t Jump is one of those occasions.

The movie actually looks like a lot of fun, and it should give us an interesting look at the world of street ball. Though we have multiple shows about good players ‘making it to the big leagues’, I like the idea of a basketball crime comedy playing with that ‘buddy cop’ dynamic.

White Men Can’t Jump premieres on May 19 on Hulu.
