Does anyone know if they are making a sequal to the hit movie X-Men?
I am a huge fan of the X-Men comics and even the cartoon series. I would love if they made the next movie even better. Like adding the Yellow Spandex. And Rogue as an adult with her flying. And adding Nightcrawler.
Yes, there's definitely a sequel coming. That was director Bryan Singer's plan all along. Allthough the sequel(s) relied on the first one's success, it's not merely a matter of sucking more money out of the movie through a followup. Maybe we'll even get a true trilogy, and indeed, the first movie was more like the beginning of a greater story, with lots of loose ends.
As for the concept, yeah, you should have read the comics, allthough a lot was changed when the characters was brought to the big screen. Too much if you ask me. I was a great fan of the comics as a kid, with the original Claremont & Byrne stories. It was great, despite the terrible misconceptions about what mutation and evolution actually is. Simply put, it's about people with superpowers, good vs. evil, along with some xenophobia from the politicians and the general populace.
I'm not sure where you got that "controlling the weather" thing from, that's not really important to the concept in any way. And I don't think it's actually set in the future either. At least the comics weren't. If the movie is supposed to be, it's only a matter of a few years. However, the Sentinel storyline which appears to be the most likely base for the next movie, was set several decades into the future, with a bit of good old-fashioned time-travel to connect it to the present. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
