SCANDAL’s dynamic mix of frenetic melody-driven energy mixed with smooth, pop-styled vocals have become the band’s hallmark.

SCANDAL’s music also has been featured in a host of TV shows and movies and the band are enthusiastic fans of anime and have had several songs prominently featured in popular series. The group’s singles “Harukaze” and "Shunkan Sentimental" were featured as the opening theme songs for the anime series Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and most recently SCANDAL contributed the song, “Daybreak Meteor Shower,” as the theme to the latest Pokémon feature film, Diance and the Cocoon of Destruction.

X-Men: Apocalypse Casts Lana Condor as Jubilee

Director Bryan Singer dropped a bomb on X-men fans, that we’ll see Jubilation Lee in the upcoming sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past, titled X-Men: Apocalypse played by newcomer Lana Condor!

Condor joins an already robust cast that includes Alexandra Shipp (House of Anubis) as Storm, Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones) as Jean Grey, and Tye Sheridan (Mud) as play Cyclops. Last month, it was revealed that Austrlian actor Kodi Smit-McPhee will be playing Nightcrawler.

As for her character, Jubilee, a.k.a. Jubilation Lee, is a mutant with the power to generate pyrotechnic energy plasmoids from her hands. She was the X-Men's youngest member in the early '90s, and developed a father-daughter-like relationship with Wolverine.

A Wolverine tie-in with the film has yet to be mentioned officially, but Hugh Jackman -- who has played the character in just about every major motion picture of late -- is rumored to make a cameo. It'll be interesting to see how the two interact in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is more than just a parade of heroes, and a new image just revealed is reminding us of that.

Entertainment Weekly has posted a new photograph of Jesse Eisenberg in the first official look of him as the bald Lex Luthor.

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” director Zack Snyder says to EW, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.”

Snyder goes on to state that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's Lex is "disarming and he's not fake."

“He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind," says the director. "If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”
