X-Men Movie set to begin production in 2017...

If New Mutants does well they're definitely going to continue doing the period piece thing. If it doesn't then they'll go the Deadpool route. It's a 50/50 chance.

But with people like Nat Wolff and Maisie Williams beung courted for NM it will likely do well.

Good actors were in Apocalypse

So New Mutants are not in present with Deadpool?
Was it confirmed?

Yeah - and it did well. Sure, it undersold DOFP, but DOFP did well on the merits that it was based on one of the best arcs from comics, featured Wolverine in a main role, featured a LOT of the main cast from the original trilogy as well as the new cast, and was the second movie in a trilogy.

Everyone likes a good middle.

The storyboard appears to be set in the 1980's

It is sad. I want X movies in present

Might depend how Logan does, too. Early buzz at least sounds good.

God I hope not. That whole thing with setting the movies in the past is just so stupid. It takes me totally out of the movies when your sitting there thinking how the returning characters have not she'd even though it is 20 years latter.

It worked for a couple movies and now it just is not needed and ties the writers hands in trying to crossover movie in the future. Set it the modern times like Deadpool and go from there.

They won't recast James McAvoy or Rose Byrne and the younger cast. Point Blank Period


Late 80's till Mid 90's is the goat era of X-Men anyways

[Zero Hunter]

There is nothing in the X-Men that directly links them to any past time period though except Magnetos origin. Everything else can take place in any period including the present. In fact setting it in the past was an interesting gimick for one movie and that about it.

You keep saying they are not going to recast the new kids, but the truth is none of them really stuck out at as must haves to keep the franchise going. They were not bad in their roles but they were not standouts like Jackman was as Wolverine. They can all be recast. Plus they are going to recast Wolverine anyway so it would make sense to just start fresh with a whole new cast without any of the baggage of the Singer films.

If you pretend like nothing happened after 1983 you'll just upset everyone even more.

Just stick with what you have if your not going back to Disney

A 90s film with the cast minus Lawrence and Fassbender works fine

Let see.. F42 released in 2007, F43 released in 2015. Do the math yourself. The same thing with X-men, it has a seven years limit too.

Dang, you're right... duh... LOL! Just checked, has to be in production within 7, then released the following year. Further evidence, Elektra was released in '05, DD's rights reverted in '12. Crap, that sucks, 7 years seems SO much longer than 5! Which was already long enough, IMO, 3 or 4 would have been MUCH better! ;p Must've mentally blocked the 7 as a defense mechanism, to prevent myself from being wrought with distress.

Just can't see Disney being able to/being ALLOWED to but Fox. Fox is pretty big and even if they could buy it, the government would probably block such a deal cause monopolies.

You're right, probably wouldn't be allowed to do so, doesn't mean they wouldn't/won't try though. Stranger things... ;p ... have happened:
Fox trying to buy Time Warner - Reuters

They won't recast James McAvoy...

Has he re-signed yet? Sure he wants an $ increase...

[Harpsikord]

McAvoy has re-signed. So have Sheridan, Turner, and Fassbender iirc

[Heroine Addict]

... Plus they are going to recast Wolverine anyway so it would make sense to just start fresh with a whole new cast without any of the baggage of the Singer films.

This would be the neXt best thing to Marvel getting them back, and would do MUCH to generate goodwill towards Fox from many an X-fan... temporarily anyway, 'til the new director & character/cast choices were announced. Our fan speculation is almost ALWAYS better than what we actually get lately, seems like the ball is always getting dropped, when it comes to our X-Men.

The early buzz of Deadpool didn't helped apocalypse

The young cast couldn't stand out because they're never the focus of the movie nor given enough material to work with

[Heroine Addict]

I'm would think Tye & Sophie were already locked in for a few more, when they signed on for XMA. James' & Fassie's contracts being X-tended are still only rumors though, I believe, and have not been confirmed.
