Singer gets to direct the film set in space and likely to tackle the Dark Phoenix arc, also rumors suggest that FOX could reach a similar deal that Sony with Marvel. Could we see Logan return to the MCU or possibly see some MCU characters cross into FOX?

Ridley_Prime
Singer? Noooooooooooooooooo...!

Can hope that rumor is true at least.

carthage
It'll probably be his last film for the forseeble future, the newer releases are going to be more focused on Deadpool replacing Wolverine as the franchise's breadwinner and The New mutants trilogy. On top of Xforce and Gambit all coming down the pipeline as well

New plot synopsis

http://www.cbr.com/report-x-men-supernova-synopsis-confirms-dark-phoenixs-return/

Production/filming slated for June/May

Ridley_Prime
After Apocalypse which was barely passable, still not looking forward to this. They should just let the FoX-Menverse die or reboot. Well, Singer being gone would be a step up, but won't believe till I see it. I know this has all been said a lot, but my God does it need to happen.

BruceSkywalker

Singer needs to step it up. How does someone direct the best Xmen movie to date (X2) but put out nothing but subpar attempts otherwise?

I still don't see why people think X2 was all that "great'".

There were a bunch of things that made X2 amazing

Kazenji
Its time for him to let someone else takeover, But he's like Bay with the Transformers movies at the moment.

Lady Deathstrike was lackluster... X2 was another Wolverine wankfest for the most part IMO, and the start of when others like Cyclops started getting the shaft. Decent film otherwise, and yeah, Nightcrawler and some things was cool, but disagree on it being the best of the series.

Yeah... I may have been too forgiving with Apocalypse to a point with how much I love the villain and was happy to see even a loose adaptation of Apoc after 10+ years... But Singer really needs to go.

rox
one thing you have to admit is that apocalypse is better than x3 and x-orgins.

Ridley_Prime
That's not saying much though sadly. It's either subpar or barely passable depending on how much or how little one liked it. Still, even with the 3rd movie curse, the 2nd X-Men trilogy's a lot better than the first as a whole (outside of maybe some casting choices), imo.

I agree. Its one of my top 5 comic movies ever. Then again, I liked AoA better than DOFP. I thought the first half of DOFP was amazing then it just kept going down hill.

roughrider
I don't get the Bryan Singer hate. There's a successful franchise because of him and the greater realism he brought to the genre - taking the basic comic subject and playing it out in a realistic everyday world. The Dark Knight Trilogy wouldn't have gone the direction it did if Singer hadn't pioneered this kind of superhero movie first. Things only started to go wrong once he left the franchise; it got better as soon as he came back on.

And I enjoyed Apocalypse.

Well you must at least understand X-Men fans not liking how X1-X3 focused way too much on Wolverine and proper shafted Cyclops...


Aside from that he's made his contribution, but shouldn't just cling to the franchise the way Bay does Transformers.

Vaughn made an excellent contribution/reboot/refresh to the franchise with First Class (one of my all time favourite superhero movies), but then it all just returned to Singer??

Great directors who made great contributions to comic book movies like Favreau, Whedon and Nolan, made their contributions but also left when they could feel they were running out of creative juice for those properties.

Singer should take note Imo.

Singer made 3 out 4 really good X-men movies but this franchise needs a reboot more than anything. It feels like, Singer has lost his vision and ambition when it comes to the Xmen. Apocalypse was nearly as bad as X3.

Ridley_Prime
Eh, I'd go as far as to say he lost it after the first or second film; much of DoFP was Vaughn's work. Despite the disappointment of the last film though (how bad Apoc is is debatable, tho disagree on it being close to X3's level), I still get the feeling there'll be enough yes-yes people for Singer to come back again, unfortunately. Just a matter of when.

Shame, I remember how excited most of us were when DoFP did sort of a reset button (the closest we'll probably get to a reboot sadly), but look where we are now... The universe Singer started helped fill a certain gap for superhero flicks during the early 2000's, but don't think it really holds up now. I'd say let it die in peace after the Logan film, but you know they'll probably press on... It's gone on this long.

We wish. Unfortunately there's way too much money in it for Fox, so they'll never completely let it go.. I guess they could have shared it the way Sony has shared Spider-Man, but that would require a complete reboot, which it doesn't look like Fox is ready for anytime soon.

It just occurred to me earlier, but what the hell ever happened to Gambit? The dude that played him in Wolverine Origins (forgot his name at the moment) was signed up to reprise him as part of the X-Men in future films, and before Apocalypse came out I remember seeing links/news that Gambit would be in it but it never happened. Even for Fox that's rather frustrating, as he's always been one of my favorite X-Men members in general.

Ya Taylor Kitsch was replaced by Tatum, who was also producer, correct? Supposed to have been in Fox's Fall/Holiday 2016 release slate, which would have given the X-Men-verse Winter (Deadpool), Summer (X-Men: Apoc) and Fall/Holiday (if Gambit would've come through) movie releases in 2016

Yep really have no idea why Fox is going straight to Phoenix...again:

- We have a clear template on how to make cinematic universes work in Marvel. Even Fox released perhaps the best example of long-game movie universe movie with Days of Future Past.
- We have a clear template on how NOT to make cinematic universes work in DC and Sony's failed attempt at a Spider-Man cinematic universe.

Take the time, adapt at least one or two more good X-Men team comic arcs, then you'll have 2-4 'X-Men: Apocalypse' era X-Men movies, at least one New Mutants movie, and at least 2 Deadpool movies under Fox's newer X-Men-verse's proverbial belt.

True dat.

Firefly218
This would be a perfect time for Fox to let Marvel borrow Hugh Jackman's Wolverine though. Now that Logan has effectively ended that iteration of the character in the Foxverse they don't need to worry about losing profits to a rival studio. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain, because I'm sure Jackman would come back to play a quick role in the MCU.

Just imagine Iron MAn, Spidey, Capt America and Wolverine chewing in a scene together. The interplay would be amazing imo

Darth Thor
^ Even if Fox allowed Marvel to use Wolverine, chances are Marvel would want to use their own version, and not Fox's version.

Remember when Sony let Marvel use Spidey, Andrew Garfield got the sack.

That would be fantastic. Just bring back Jackman to fight Thanos and explain it via "Reality Stone or whatever shenanigans caused Wolverine to show up here".

If Wolverine were to be rebooted ala Spider-Man, yes most likely. But man, it'd be great if they just did a one-shot movie appearance in something like Infinity War with Jackman smile

Firefly218
Originally posted by Darth Thor

Remember when Sony let Marvel use Spidey, Andrew Garfield got the sack. First of all very few people care about Garfield's version of spidey as compared to the millions of people who grew up with Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine. Secondly, Garfield's spidey was in a very established universe that's not totally compatible with MCU so marvel HAD to reboot the character whereas Jackman's Wolverine is in a Foxverse where continuity doesn't really matter so no need to reboot. Thirdly, Marvel rebooted spidey because they have a different vision (younger kid) and want to use him long term and properly incorporate him into the MCU, which is why they rebooted. Jackmans's wolverine, on the other hand, doesn't need to be properly incorporated into the MCU it can be just a one-shot or a small role.

Also Fox would never give Marvel wholesale permission to use the Wolverine character so they can reboot him, never. What Fox might be willing to do is give Marvel Hugh Jackman's iteration of Wolverine, because Fox is done with the actor.

So Marvel gets Hugh Jackman and Fox gets to reboot Wolverine with a new actor in their own time. Sounds like a smooth transition to me.

Darth Thor
^ Dude I was just giving an example with Garfield. I wasn't saying it's exactly the same.

Still I just don't see Marvel wanting to use Fox's version of Wolverine. For all the people who grew up with him, none of the Wolverine films (save perhaps his send off film) were as popular as the Marvel proper films.

As for continuity, no matter how much Fox doesn't care about that, there's just no way audiences won't disassociate a Jackman Wolverine from the Fox X-Men movies.

Also if Marvel are going to go for any character Fox has, it's Galactus and Silver Surfer.

Khazra Reborn
Jackman has gone on the record saying that only thing that would really interest him in taking on the Wolverine role again would be an MCU film. Would be awesome, but I can't really see it happening. None the less, if you told me 3 years ago that Sony and Marvel would work out a deal for Spidey I would have never believed it.

Yeah, this is one thing they screwed up badly with the reboot films, and it gets worse with each new one. For example, Havok should be in his late thirties/early forties by the time Apocalypse rolls around (they get him out of jail in First Class, which means he was likely already legally an adult then, and that was 21 years before Apocalypse), but he still looks like a college kid.

Apocalypse obviously requires more than 1 post credit scene to build up. The movie tried hard enough but still suffered from it.

And to be fair, his characterization isn't very awesome even in the comics, Mr. Sinister is a better villain.

I like Sinister a lot too, but prefer Apocalypse due to his rich lore and backstory within the mutant mythos, along with his unique power-set. He was a big part of what led to Essex becoming Sinister too, not that it's something that would've been explored in the movies here...

Are we sure this Dark Phoenix film is still even happening after Disney buying off parts of Fox? If so, this'll be the FoX-Men universe's ending (although Logan was already an ending enough), before the house of mouse starts doing what it wants with the muties in the MCU...

Sinister on the big screen definitely still needs to happen at some point regardless.

Kazenji
I'd be even more surprised if Sinister even resembles what he does from the comics/Cartoons with the cape and whole deal, If he ever makes on screen for a film.

New Mutants also got pushed back to next summer. That's too bad, I've been looking forward to that more than the new standard Xmen movie, thought the premise and inclusion of horror elements sounded really cool.

This may have more to do with the Disney buyout than the quality of the film(s). Maybe Disney is asking them to delay it until the buyout is over with so they can edit in some connection to the MCU or something. Or give them enough time to create that connection, if that's the route they end up going with.

Seems more likely they have no confidence it will be any good. February is dump month. They put films they expect to bomb there. Likely because Sophie Turner is absolutely terrible.

Prolly so they can connect to MCU

See Black Panther and Deadpool.

Not for this movie. Steamer written all over it. It'll knock Origins :Wolverine off the bottom spot.

I dont think Marvel would have any interest at all in connecting these films to the MCU.

If Marvel gets these properties back they will reboot the X-Men from scratch.

I heard the deal isn't done yet.

Darth Thor
Nope. Has to pass through the legal stuff.

Well Marvel are starting FF comics again. Im guessing because they know they have the movie rights back (speculating):

Nothing about this film has really caught my interest so far. Both this and New Mutants seem like they'll be forgettable. Now, I could obviously be completely off base, and they could both end up being great, but I somehow doubt that's going to be the case. But eh, at least I have Legion S2 and Deadpool 2 to look forward to.

New mutants was getting some reshoots too, My guess is to add in the character Warlock...he was originally going to be in the film anyway and the date for that movie has been pushed to 2019 now.

Why would they axe an entire film when it's so close to completion?

That is provided Disney passes all the regulatory tests and it becomes official.

I liked AoA a lot actually, but agree about pulling the Dark Phoenix movie if it doesn't look good. Let MCU have a crack at it.
