YAHOO POLL: Are you excited about the original X-Men returning?
Avengers: Doomsday just announced its cast in a nearly six-hour livestream and the biggest surprise was the return of the original X-Men from the 20th Century Fox era.
Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellEn (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Kelsey Grammer (Beast) have been confirmed to return.
Notably missing from the list, though, is Halle Berry who played Storm – and reprised her role for Days of Future Past – and Famke Janssen who played Jean Grey. That, of course, is a separate story all together.
YAHOO POLL: Do you think the colour-coded dishes for economy rice will help?
YAHOO POLL: Should people be punished for inappropriately handling animals?
YAHOO POLL: Do you prefer the wet, cold weather or the hot season?
When we asked Yahoo Singapore readers last month about whether they're still interested in the MCU, considering how Captain America: Brave New World didn't fare too well at the box office, 39 per cent of the 714 respondents (as of press time) said no.
Interestingly, 16 per cent felt that the MCU needed to do something fast. Well, could this perhaps be the spark to reignite the interest?
We want to hear from you – Are you excited about the original X-Men returning?
Have your say and take the poll.

Spider-Man 4 Rumor Reveals Sadie Sink's MCU Character Code Name
Sadie Sink's MCU character's code name for may have been revealed. Spider-Man 4, also known as Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is currently in production. Directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' Destin Daniel Cretton, the Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures movie will once again see Tom Holland reprise his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, meanwhile, has been cast in an undisclosed role in the movie; however, that hasn't stopped fans from trying to guess who she's playing, with theories ranging anywhere from Gwen Stacy and Jean Grey to Teresa Parker and Firestar. What is Sadie Sink's MCU character's rumored code name in Spider-Man 4? Nexus Point News Editor in Chief Koc said on Twitter, 'Hearing Annabelle Adams is the code name(?) for Sadie Sink's character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.' This is not confirmation that Sink is playing a character named Annabelle Adams; rather, big blockbuster movies often use code names or working titles during production in order to hide certain reveals from fans. Meaning, if Sink's really is being referred to as Annabelle Adams at this time, that could be a stand-in name to keep audiences in suspense. Having said that, Annabelle Adams is actually the name of a Marvel Comics character, created by Christopher Yost and Ryan Stegman, who has ties to Spider-Man, as she briefly dated Kaine Parker/Scarlet Spider, who is a clone of Peter Parker. That relationship turned sour, however, when Kaine transformed into a giant spider monster and Annabelle fled in fear. The cast of Spider-Man 4 also includes Zendaya as Michelle 'MJ' Jones-Watson, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk, Michael Mando as Mac Gargan/Scorpion, and The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas in an undisclosed role. Marvel's Spider-Man 4 arrives on July 31, 2026. Solve the daily Crossword

I took 3 kids and my 70-something mom to see 'Freakier Friday.' No one laughed harder than grandma.
The movie is rated PG — that's "perfect for grandma." This story contains spoilers. Don't say we didn't warn ya. Hello, Yahoo readers. I'm Suzy Byrne, and I've been covering entertainment in this space for over a decade. I'll be the first to tell you I'm no hardcore cinema buff. Since I had a child, though, I've made it a point to see as many kid-friendly movies as possible. Maybe it's because I'm a big kid ✔ and love a cheerful ending ✔. But also, as a busy working parent, getting two hours to turn off my phone, put up my feet and eat whatever I want while my child is fully entertained is the definition of movie magic. So that's what this is — one entertainment reporter + her 10-year-old child + friends seeing family-friendly fare and replying all to you about the experience. Welcome to Kids' Movie Club. Now playing: The adults outnumbered the kids six to three for our family movie trip, which should clue you in that nostalgia was the real star of the Freaky Friday sequel. That said, when we walked into the theater, someone in our group admitted, 'I don't think I even watched Freaky Friday' — and it turns out they weren't alone. Seeing the 2003 original definitely adds context, but our crew — which spanned three generations and two continents (my sister's family was visiting from Australia) — felt the sequel stood on its own just fine without revisiting its predecessor. Jamie Lee Curtis stole the show, especially with my 70-something mom, who guffawed at every senior citizen joke like it was written for her. Lindsay Lohan was like a fast-forwarded version of her younger self; she had the same cadence, delivery and spark. The PG-rated movie isn't chasing Oscars, though; it's chasing laughs and delivers enough of them. With a mix of punchlines about aging and early 2000s nods, it knows exactly who it's playing to. Maybe because it felt a little old school to the 10-year-olds among us, Freakier Friday was a harder sell to the kids than the other movies we've seen this summer. I had to promise to take them to Cat Video Fest first (yes, two hours of cat videos) in exchange for them seeing this. Apparently, they don't hold LiLo in their Y2K hearts the way I do. The plot 🎬 Like in the first film, Freakier Friday has body-swap chaos, but this time it's not just two people in the mix, it's four: Tess (Curtis), her daughter Anna (Lohan), Anna's daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and Anna's soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). Everyone in my group was confused trying to keep track of who was in whose body. We could have used some good old-fashioned Pop Up Video captions — 'Lily is in Tess's body' — just to stay on track. Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer has a scene-stealing role in the magical mix-up. From there, most of the film is the four women working to undo the switcheroo while stepping into each other's very different lives. Meanwhile, teens Harper and Lily are on a mission to sabotage Anna's wedding to Lily's dad Eric (Manny Jacinto), which adds another layer of chaos and comedy to the generational tension and family drama. But naturally, the heart of the film is about walking a mile in someone else's shoes — and learning something along the way. Parts that had the kids talking 👧🏻👧🏻👦🏻 Again, the trio of cousins preferred the cat videos to Freakier Friday. After the movie, they were talking about cats. And none of them begged to watch Freaky Friday when we got home. The real highlight for them? The snacks. And the mix-up. In what felt like our own Freakier Friday moment, our server kept bringing us food we hadn't ordered — and couldn't take back. A large popcorn somehow turned into three small ones. Three drinks multiplied to eight. The kids were giggling about it for half the movie. So if Madame Jen had a hand in that little magic trick, thanks. Parts that had the adults talking 👩🏻👩🏻👱🏻♀️🙎🏻♂️👵🏻 Curtis could do no wrong. Whether the therapist turned author Tess was playing pickleball, shopping for senior care items, gushing about her love of Parcheesi or getting her lips plumped, she had us laughing. It was all about the old-age jokes. When they first changed bodies, the zingers came fast: 'I'm bloody decomposing!' My 'butt is so high!' 'My face looks like a Birkin bag left out in the sun to rot.' What the film lacked in plot, it made up for in one-liners about adult diapers, Fixodent, toots, enemas and the giant letter virus that is older people using the oversize font setting on their iPhones, like grandma. The parents weren't spared, either. There were jokes about Coldplay and John Mayer — what we grew up on — as being dated. Not to mention Facebook being a 'database of old people.' (Hold on while I delete my account.) The women were the stars of the show, but the men held their own. Jacinto doing Dirty Dancing was a great moment. I also found myself staring at Chad Michael Murray's hair (he's back as Anna's ex, Jake) and wondered what he's doing to keep it so shiny. Meanwhile, Mark Harmon's return — with a full head of white hair — was shocking in the best way. Of course, the movie had its tropes — the future stepsisters who hate each other, the dead mom and the very soap opera way Eric called off the wedding in a room full of people vs. a side conversation with Anna. But the confetti-filled, crowd-surfing reconciliation scene? I ate it up. Dumb things I searched after the movie 💻 I don't surf. I don't live near the beach. But that didn't stop me from Googling how to get the floral wetsuit Lohan wore. (It's Cynthia Rowley. Yes, I still want it and, no, I don't need it.) Stay for the credits? 🎞️ Yes, it's cute with a lot of funny outtakes, like Curtis biting into 34 donuts to get a scene just right. There's also some cheeky fourth-wall breaking. Trailers 🎥 My daughter is counting down the days until Zootopia 2, but I also got, 'Can we see that?' for films targeting older audiences — A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and Regretting You. It made me wonder: Are we aging out of the kids' movies? Maybe, but I hope we never outgrow watching them together, especially as a family. Looking for more recs?

"I Am In My Late 40s, And I Have Endured This My Entire Life": 11 "Truths" Women Believe Men Need To Hear About Women
If you identify as a man, there may be a few things you didn't learn in school, for a myriad of reasons, when it comes to women. So when we asked the BuzzFeed Community, "Women, what are some things the guys aren't ready to hear about women?" so many women shared their opinions below: 1."Men telling women (or girls) to smile… stop it." —Anonymous, New Hampshire 2."When I am at work, I am getting PAID to be nice to you. I am not interested in you because I smile at you and help you with something. Why do you not understand this?" —ThatOneElizabeth 3."I am in my late 40s, and I have endured this my entire life. It is so frustrating and ridiculous! Women outnumber men in college enrollment and graduation rates, but we are still not fit to be 'knowledgeable' about anything beyond caregiving, teaching, and support roles in business. Fuck that!" —Elsa G 4."If we make more money than you, we don't think you're a loser or any 'less of a man.' But if you are super insecure because we are successful, it's a huge turnoff and red flag." —Anonymous, 38, Italy 5."Porn is not a sexual guidebook. And we can tell when you watch way too much of it." —Miss Andri 6."When some of us were in middle school and in high school, we were taught how to politely reject you so we don't get killed by you. And, even after using those tips, we still got verbally abused. Which happens a lot more often than you think. Believe it or not, it really sucks that we have to see you as a possible danger instead of a protector." —missmissymaria143 7."I shave my face, sideburns, stomach, hands, forearms, feet and toes." —melgirl444 8."Cat👏calling👏is👏awful👏. Also, any overt display of hypermasculinity is so fucking annoying, but men keep doing it without realizing it causes the opposite desired effect (at least in my opinion)." —big-potato 9."We may love reading books and watching movies about bad boy alfa types who don't ask permission (i.e., kissing, touching, or sexual acts) and don't take no for an answer (i.e. stalking and kidnapping), but that is fantasy, and most of us want to keep it fantasy. It's different reading about it from the safety of our homes when we have a way out vs living it and being terrified with no way out. Also, if you have to force or coerce anyone into dating or being physical with you, the problem is you, not them. You are not God's gift to women." —Anonymous 10."Men CANNOT experience the same things as women. Yes, maybe an ex had a miscarriage and you were upset, but YOU did not experience the mental and physical pain of being a woman having the miscarriage. In my experience, I often hear 'I've been through that too' when, in fact, there is no humanly way possible for a man to understand some of the things that our bodies do that affect us mentally and physically at the same time." —Anonymous 11."Guys, she isn't picking where to eat or what to do because she's being 'difficult.' She's exhausted from having to make decisions ALL. DAMN. DAY. Because on top of everything you've had to do during the day, she also has to decide if her tone in the email is going to get her called a bitch, if where she parks is safe, does she smile at the stranger or is that going to get her harassed, is it a coincidence she's ran into the same guy in the grocery store multiple times or is he following her. It is constant and draining, and all she wants is not to have to make one more choice. Give her options or just make the actual plans. Take one little bit of emotional labor off her shoulders, PLEASE!" —Anonymous, 34, Colorado Women, are there some things guys aren't ready to hear about women?
