I'd be fine with them sticking around as long as they get back to focusing on the students like they did in First Class. The reason First Class is my favorite X-Men movie is because it didn't feel like any one mutant's show; it was so much larger than one, two, or even three individuals. Save for the one issue I had with the black guy dying first, Matthew Vaughn did well to treat characters like more than background noise. Figures -- the one movie that I actually like is one of the two NOT directed by Singer! As long as he's involved, X-Men: Apocalypse is maybe a dvd buy for me.
Yea Singer was pretty hands on with X-Men: First Class. He was originally supposed to direct it.
Maybe he's better in that role. They should keep him there.
I have to admit I loved the first two X films.
'X Men' was flawed but it's heart was in the right place. And X2 was a great movie. DOFP seemed to have too much talk, to be honest. And I missed seeing the OC. A few cameo roles where they got bumped off wasn't enough.
Still find it hard to believe those films were the better part of 15 years ago!
I love all the X-men movies.
I like them all except for X3 and XMO:W. And I love X2 and DoFP. Those IMO are the strongest two entries in the franchise. Followed by First Class, The Wolverine and X1.
As for Singer, he's a strong director, but I think the X-films need a new tone. At the very least, an X-Force spinoff franchise needs a new tone. And I think Matthew Vaughn (First Class, Kingsman: The Secret Service) would be ideal for that. Or maybe even someone from outside of the X-film family. Some new blood if you will. Like James Wan, who just directed Fast and Furious 7. Take a guy like that, give him a killer script built around Cable, Deadpool, Gambit, Psylocke, Archangel, etc., and let him go nuts.
In fact, I'd borrow heavily from Remender's Uncanny X-Force run and probably just slot Cable into the Wolverine role and Gambit into the Fantomex role. With Cable's "Professor" program or "Ship" in the role of EVA (artificially intelligent transport).

Gambit would never kill a kid. I do not want Remy to replace fantomex crap role.
I do not want fast and furious director for x-force either. All new last and furious movies are stupid action. X-Force need to be better then this.
Oh, don't get me wrong. Cable would kill the kid. He's very morally gray, especially when it comes to Apocalypse.
