The future of the X-Men on the big screen

[Carabas]

Do you think the Gambit movie will be still made, now, that Disney bought Fox?

I don't think it would have been made in any case.

[Jopi]

Poor Remy. Didn't make it into Fox' X-Men movies (well, besides that crappy Wolverine cameo one) and now it is unlinkely I'll see him on the big screen in the foreseeable future :/ Maybe the MCU...

[Arsenal]

A gambit solo movie might eventually get made but its highly unlikely it's gonna be the one Fox was working one

[WebLurker]

Who cares about the past now. This thread is about the future of the franchise. Let the winds of change sweep away the old and usher in the new!

Based on statements, some of the potential new does include new installments in the current series (e.g. more Deadpool and New Mutant films, X-23 and Kitty Pryde spinoffs, etc.). Now, they could get pulped or remade as MCU stuff (I could live with the latter), but we may not be quite at the end yet.

Also, X2 was hailed as the greatest superhero movie of it's time? In a world where Sam Raimi's Spider-Man didn't exist, sure. Both Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy are generally better received than Days of Future Past. Only Logan one holds. Even then, the fact that Logan doesn't even like to associate itself as a superhero movie...

From what I've seen, all those movies are generally considered some of the best in the genre and/or of their series.

I think they should hire a female director, Russo's, or Ryan Coogler. He loves X-MEN.


But honestly whoever they get will be the best.


Directors are going to be fighting each other over who gets to finally reboot the X-MEN.

It's so exciting, after all this time, they might do it right!

I'd rather wait until the MCU takeover than introduce into what's basically a dead-man-walking-universe. There's no future with the Fox movies and if it's that much trouble to get off the ground, let's just wait for Feige to take over.

Assuming Marvel reboots and doesn't just put the existing universe under their direct oversight, then uses multiverse shenanigans to integrate them.

Right, true. But I have serious doubts about that happening.

They're rebooting. It's obvious.

[Ambaryerno]

No, it's really not. Until we know what Marvel's plans are FROM MARVEL THEMSELVES, then EVERYTHING is just speculation at this point (and the closest we DO have as to their intent is Feige's remarks suggesting the Deadpool franchise may not be interfered with, and even that is too vague to make any informed guesses about).

[Magneto Rocks]

Can't see any argument for Marvel to tie themselves down by trying to incoporate the existing Foxverse, especially since many of the most commercial and marketable parts of that universe (Obviously Hugh Jackman Logan above all, but also JLaw Mystique, to some degree both Fassbender/McAvoy and McKellan/Stewart) are played out now anyway.

It makes a lot more sense to reboot the whole thing with their own cast, tying into the MCU from the beginning and with actor contracts they can control from scratch. (I also wouldn't be at all surprised if they deliberately moved away from the stuff covered by Fox; no Dark Phoenix, no Magneto in the first movie, maybe even wait a bit to introduce Wolverine.)

[uebersoldat]

I feel bad for Wolverine12.

Yes, he's probably my favorite mod on here. I try to keep things on-topic but I've fallen into the Fox vs MCU fray from time to time. It's easy to do but I think we need a contained thread to discuss the up and coming X-Men on film possibilities. I could see the mods moving anything that has to do with film to the film forum here but that would take time because these threads keep popping up like crazy in the X-books but if I were a mod that's probably what I'd do, honestly. That said there's been a huge Dark Phoenix speculation thread for some time here so I guess x-film stuff is ok in the x-books forum. People come here for anything and everything X-Men from what I've seen. Sorry, just some thought vomit.

I wonder how many films the new X-MEN will be signed to. Hopefully at least 5 picture deals

I don’t think it’s a smart move at all to reboot the Deadpool/X-Force films. They don’t have to incorporate that into the MCU, just say it happened in one of the universe Doctor Strange mentioned and just reboot the main line X-films.

It's jmo but I think only Ryan Reynolds character will survive the merger. Maybe Dopinder & Blind Al too
