The future of the X-Men on the big screen

But Marvel could release a Gambit or an X-23 film.

Kyle is co-writing this with Mangold, and he's already been working with Marvel (Ragnarok, various animated properties).

I have a feeling they may opt to use X-23 in X-Force. If she stays in the R-rated corner with Deadpool, Cable, Domino, etc., it bodes better for her solo film chances IMO.

Not to mention it separates her from Wolverine in the broader, more family friendly MCU.

They most certainly will if audiences will come out for it

Come on, that would make a super hero movie every two freaking months.

The only thing they would accomplish with that is hurting a very solid source of income.

One of the best parts of the upcoming X-Men reboot is we won't be getting Gambit, X-23, or Multiple Man solo movies for many years, if at all.

Don't forget Shadowcat!

Speak for yourself. Some people are anticipating these.

Except maybe Multiple Man, that one was pretty out of left field.

But this is the exact sort of petty @#$% that's just going to set off another argument.

That was 8 months ago. Are we sure that is still in the present tense? There are no hints of any X-23 project still being in the works.
Mangold seems to have moved on to another project at Lucasfilm.

I think X-23 has a future under Disney. Like I said, though, it’s probably more in the darker, R-rated corner. Gives her room to run while Wolvie runs around in his spandex and shares screentime with the Avengers, the FF, and other X-men.

My feeling is that Feige is probably smart enough to incorporate the new properties in the MCU without killing the franchise, but Disney may not be.

I mean they just fired one of his most important directors very suddenly. Not to get into the right or wrong of that decision, but it certainly can't have been good for Feige's plans for the cosmic side of the MCU. Studios tend to think short-term. I could definitely see Disney putting pressure on the MCU to release too many movies or get them out too fast or many other things that could go wrong, and he and the studio management may not be as friendly with each other now.

So I don't know how good/bad the future of the X-movies will be - my own prediction is that the bad movies won't be as bad as the worst of Fox, but the good ones won't be as good as the best - and I'm more looking forward to this for the complete end of the Fox/Disney war that affected the comics and other media.

That's a very good way to put it. Marvel studio tend to often hit just that sweet spot between average and decent movie. You know, nothing bad, you're glad you watched it but kinda forgettable.

Disney is not going to shoot itself in the foot by releasing 6 Marvel movies a year. The most we are getting is 4. Otherwise they just end up competing with themselves, especially when they also release other Disney movies and now Fox property movies throughout the year.

So basically we the audience get screwed by this Disney/Fox deal. That means less MCU movies and less X-Men movies.

Did we ever get 6 Marvel (x-men included) movies a year?

No every time FOX tried to do 3 movies a year 1 (or 2 like this year got pushed back)

Can you imagine the movie landscape if MCU did 3, DCEU 3, Fox 3, and Sony 1-2 cape movies a year? Win for the hardcore comic fans but repetitive for the GA.
