Michael J. Fox Reveals New Health Scare
In an article published Friday, ‘Back to the Future’ star Michael J Fox revealed that he underwent spinal surgery last April. After doctors diagnosed him with Parkinson’s in 1991, he immediately started trying to find a cure. However, he also was having recurring problems with his spine. “…All of a sudden I started falling — a lot. It was getting ridiculous. I was trying to parse what was the Parkinson’s and what was the spinal thing,” he said.
He was originally supposed to return to work in August, but he suffered another fall. He recalled, “I woke up, walked into the kitchen to get breakfast, misstepped and I went down. I fractured the hell out of my arm. I ended up getting 19 pins and a plate. It was such a blow.”
New Dark Phoenix Trailer Released
The trailer to the latest X-Men installment, Dark Phoenix, released on Friday. In order to understand the new timeline, the original X-Men movies must be thrown out the window. The trailer opens with the titular character Jean Grey arriving at Xavier’s school after an accident. Xavier suppressed the memory of the accident, which killed her parents, and gives her cause to become the Dark Phoenix.
Now, the trailer also nods to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During a scene with three armored guards, the letters MCU can be seen on their uniforms. This could mean mutant containment unit, but it could also reference the MCU and Disney’s recent acquisition of Fox.
