>According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox is planning to "reconfigure" the succesful X-MEN film franchise in light of the disappointing box office of X-MEN: APOCALYPSE and Hugh Jackman's impending retirement from the role of Wolverine. A new story is being developed by producer Simon Kinberg, while director Bryan Singer has officially left the franchise to pursue other projects.
>The return of the main cast consisted of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrance and Nicholas Hoult is uncertain as they've all completed their three-picture contracts with the studio, requiring lenghty and costly renegotiations.
>DEADPOOL 2 remains in active development, with JOHN WICK director David Leitch in advanced negotiations to replace Tim Miller, who left the project after creative differences with Ryan Reynolds. The movie features Cable and Domino, and Fox is so confident in its success they are already lining up DEADPOOL 3 revolving around the formation of the X-Force.
>GAMBIT is also back in development following a brief delay caused by the departure of director Doug Liman and star Channing Tatum's commitments to Steven Soderbergh's next project, LUCKY LOGAN. Josh Boone's NEW MUTANTS, featuring Mirage, Cannonball, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, Magik and Warlock and which allegedly overlaps with the main X-MEN series, has also been fast-tracked and is expected to commence shooting next spring.

Wait Channing's out? YES!
Now he can play Shazam/Captain Marvel
Easton Wood
Literally every film in this fucked up continuity since Origins Wolverine has been a soft timeline fuckup reboot.
Complain about me even bringing up continuity. Go ahead. But that's half the reason the MCU is so much better.
Chase Baker
He's still in.
He's smart enough not to get into the DCEU anyway.
Nathan Campbell
At this point FOX just doing whatever the fuck they want and screw any cohesion would be great, does Logan really NEED to fit into any kind of continuity? Nope, it could just be a one-off story that lets Logan handle things without any baggage of other X-Men around.
Jackson Sanders
When will capeshit end
James Hill
Just get rid of Jennifer Lawrence. That's it.
Aiden Hughes
But that's like making a new Home Alone with Kevin as an adult but it doesn't have any connection to his time as a crime fighter. There's no point in the film being about Wolverine.
John Myers
>James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrance and Nicholas Hoult I hope they don't return. I only like Fassbender and I don't think he should be doing superhero films. He's better than that. The others have annoying faces.
Liam Perez

what the FUCK kind of comparison is this, I give it an F, see me after class.
Ayden Taylor

Jeremiah Perez
They'll probably get rid of Jlaw because she's too bitchy about the role and cast someone else.
If they were smart they'd probably have a smaller group of mutants and core stories instead of huge gigantic world ending battles or extreme persecution.
Set it in contemporary times when people are ok with mutants, but there's an underlying sort of mutie-ism that can resonate with today's audience.
Reveal at the end of the first movie that Deadpool is canon to this universe and make sure Negasonic and Colossus is there. Have him mention that he still has no idea what universe this is.
Work with Marvel and have a panning shot of a mutant like Jean or Kitty in NYC sitting outside of a coffee shop and the camera pans up to reveal its Avengers Tower
Jordan Gutierrez
Why wouldn't you like James McAvoy? He's a fairly solid actor and has been in some excellent films.
Tyler Thomas
There's no point in a film being a sequel if the story has nothing to do with what the first film did. I'm not talking about rehashing. I'm talking about what makes a sequel a sequel. If these films are just going to overwrite the film that came before it, there's no point to any of them.
Connor Hernandez
How the fuck are people still not bored with capeshit, especially X-men, the blandest of them all?
How many times do people need to see this boring cast of unimaginitive characters re-enect the same fucking 'save da world from hatefulness' plot?
Landon Morris
They should just reboot the X-Men universe and tie it into the Deadpool Universe.
Alexander Baker
>muh origin movies >muh continuity
laughing at your life man.
Jason Brown
The Rock is already playing Shazam, it was one of the first casting announced in DCEU
Luke Myers
I think it's the shape of his head. His eyes and lips bother me as well.
Luke Garcia
No, he's playing Black Adam.
Josiah Martinez
>There's no point Exactly the kind of commentary for X-Men universe (Both movies and comics).
In movies, X-Men had AT LEAST 3 continuities/universe existing "together":
Original timeline: X1, X2, X3, The future part of DOFP, The Wolverine Rebooted timeline: FC, DOFP, Apocalypse, the alternate future of DOFP and presumably Deadpool "Fuck this shit, it doesn't fit anywhere": X-Men Origins Wolverine, presumably Legion.
Luke Brown
Just do a deal to cross over with Marvel via a total reboot. And then make sure everyone has their proper comic book costumes.
Adam Hughes
X3 and Origins never existed now. The Jean parts of The Wolverine don't exist either but the rest of the film does.
Yup, it's complicated.
Jordan Torres
That's a terrible idea.
Mutants don't fit in the MCU.
Luis Jackson
At least that's made by a director with a vision
Nathan Ward
Fox has a failing franchise and decides to keep going. Fucking morons. Just like Sony Spidercucks. No more Hugh Jackman? The franchise is dead. fuck it. Fuck X-men, its over. Shit goddamn it. I hate super hero comic retard bullshit. Suck my balls people who like comics. I hope your comic collections get toilet stained. No more goddamn super heros, they are the gayest role models written and drawn by fat slobs.
Adam James
Won't be good unless they get director Gavin Hood back.
James Harris
>work with marvel Hahaja that would cost precious shekels goy, don't want to spend anymore than absolutely necessary!
Isaac Sanchez
Sure it is.
Jaxon Cruz
>Channing Tatum's Fuck that cunt, I don't want that faggot anywhere near x-men.
Henry Richardson
That's not true you retard. First Class, Origins Wolverine [before adamantium], DoFP [past], Origins Wolverine [after adamantium], X-Men, X2, X3, The Wolverine, DoFP [future] First Class, Origins Wolverine [before adamantium], DoFP [past], Apocalypse
Both Deadpool and Logan are unconfirmed. And Legion isn't in the universe, much like DCEU & Arrowverse are separate.
Thomas Perez
>cross over with Marvel No, we don't need anymore disney/marvel flicks.

Anthony Allen
i heard you like soft reboots, so we are gonna soft reboot our soft reboot
Ethan Brooks
I can understand the negativity towards Jennifer Lawrence and I really wouldn't care if Hoult doesn't come back because he never had much to do in the movies but McAvoy and Fassbender are absolutely based. The 2 best actors working in comic book movies at the moment. Not only they are great on their own but together they have a chemistry that makes them even better. Considering how they had to replace McKellen and Stewart which everyone considered grade-a casting, that's a huge achievement
Joshua Rivera
actually never, or at least till 2021
Mason Williams
Fassbender dissed the X-MEN movies lately, I think he won't bother to come back unless they offer him a lot of money.
McAvoy seems more willing, though, because he doesn't really give a fuck. And he's the key to all this.
Charles Murphy
>unless they offer him a lot of money. FOX has two things in spades: stupidity and money.
Samuel Bell
>Fassbender dissed the X-MEN movies lately
proof?
vidya isn't better than capeshit anyway
Landon Baker
>The 2 best actors working in comic book movies at the moment >who is Chris Evans >who is RDJ >who is pretty much all of the MCU >who is Ben Affleck
Adrian Kelly
>Fassbender dissed the X-MEN movies lately What did he say? Got a source?
Ian Wood
>Chris Evans Come on now. I love Laughing Meme Man as much as the next person but calling him a great actor is a great exaggeration.
Oliver Clark
Obviously we are getting into personal opinions but while the MCU has been insanely consistent with their casting choices and both actors you named have owned their roles I still think McAvoy and Fassbender are the better ones. The only time were an MCU movie had me really surprised by how good a performance was was RDJ during Civil War because after being a walking meme machine for years he was suddenly playing a broken Tony Stark and it was great. But McAvoy and Fassbender have been delightful to watch in every X-men movie they've been in. Even in the shitty Apocalypse.
Hunter Wright
Fassbender is maybe the best and only redeeming part of Apocalypse.
He was definitely the one giving the best performance.
Josiah Campbell
She was great in First Class since she was not playing Mystique but the young and confused girl who will become Mystique in the future. She was fucking abysmal in the next movie holy shit.
Logan Powell
Agreed. That's the thing with Fassbender, even though people say he deserves better than capeshit and that's true - and I'm sure he knows that himself - he never once phoned it in during the entire trilogy. He always delivered.
Jennifer Lawrence, on the other hand, clearly stopped giving a fuck about her role as soon as she won her Oscar and literally looked like she was about to fall asleep during several scenes in Apocalypse.
Sebastian White
>he never once phoned it in during the entire trilogy. Dude never phones it in in anything. The guy is a fantastic performer.
I bet he even acts circles around everyone in the Assassins Creed shitfest.
Wyatt Smith
Logan will go down as Capekino and nuX-men will be shit. Deadpool will make its money.
RIP X-men
Oliver Rivera
They showed some footage of the X-Movies in a career highlight video about him in some event and he said he doesn't like the acting in them because "it's just shouting nonsense" or something.
Liam Allen
He's solid overall and excellent as Captain America. Won't say he surpasses McAvoy or Fassbender but he's up there.
Jacob Roberts
Agreed.
KEK
Thomas Williams
Well, he's pretty perfect as Cap, at least.
Joseph Fisher
>Simon Kinberg >X-Men: The Last Stand >X-Men: First Class >X-Men: Days of Future Past >X-Men: Apocalypse
Luke Gonzalez
So he's 50/50 so far.
Jordan Howard
David Hayter is 2 for 2 with X-Men and X2 screenplay.
Parker Hughes
He'll never get work again after all shitflinging he did with MGSV
Joseph Lopez
He was really hoping Wolves would be the start of a new age in his career.
Parker Rogers
What happened?
Jordan Long
Got replaced in last Metal Gear game by Kiefer Sutherland. Spent two years screaming about it on twitter.
>>The return of the main cast consisted of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrance and Nicholas Hoult is uncertain as they've all completed their three-picture contracts with the studio, requiring lenghty and costly renegotiations
If you don't get McAvoy, Fassbender and Hoult you don't have a movie. It's as simple as that.
Hell, you could have an X-Men movie with just them and it would be fine. Just cut the X-Men from the movies, they're garbage anyway.
