New X-Men Movie Announced

X-Men director Bryan Singer just made a huge announcement on Twitter. What are you waiting for? Come see what it is.

Fox clearly has big plans for the massive roster of X-Men. Not only are they diving into Days of Future past next year, but we also know they're working on an X-Force movie, too. Even though they're still building the hype for X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer took to twitter and said something that makes the future very exciting. Apparently Iceman actor Shawn Ashmore heard the news like the rest of us, too.

No Caption Provided

According to Collider, the movie is scheduled to open May 27, 2016. Could it be inspired by Age of Apocalypse or will it have stronger connections to another story revolving around the first mutant? Have some fun speculating below, Viners!

X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May 23, 2014.

If DoFP is good, I'll be excited, if it's mediocre like all the other X-Men films though, then I'm done with the franchise.

This is great news.

Maybe this is an indication in the faith the studio and everyone has in X-Men: Days of Future Past. It would be great if DOFP acts as a soft reboot so we could bring back characters like Cyclops and have them portrayed properly going forward.

@arturocalakayvee: There's no reason to think it's a "X-Men" movie and that's why I dont care. All evidence points to it being a Wolverine film.

Days of Future Past is Kitty Pride story, but a Wolverine movie.

X-Men 1 was all about Wolverine joining the X-Men and mentoring Rogue.

X-Men 2 was really about him being the leader (as opposed to, you know, Cyclops or Storm). And confronting the military guy from his past, responsible for his Adamantium.

X-Men 3 was an abomination, was totally about Wolverine and his romance with Jean. And him single handedly defeating the Phoenix.

Wolverine Origins and The Wolverine are self-explanatory, I think.

First Class was the only actual X-Men movie, and Wolvie wasnt even in it.

Same here.

My prediction though? An "X-Men" Apocalypse movie all about Wolverine.

FINALLY some screen time for this forgotten character..... :P

I hope it's AoA! I have always that the Age of Apocalypse would make the best X-Men movie! I'm holding judgement until I see DOFP, but my inner X-nerd is very excited!

Now this is the correct way to milk their franchises... I'm sure we won't get what the comics bring but at least it's not another origin movie.

Finally!!! Was wondering when they were gonna bring him out into the cinematic universe. It'll prolly have a title like "X-Men: Rise of Apocalypse" or just "X-Men: Apocalypse" though instead of "Age of..." it just seems a little better to introduce him better that way rather than have him already the guy that runs the world at the beginning of a movie as many people who don't even read the comics won't know who he really is or what his background/origin is.

Very interesting! I do actually hope they will focus on a team, not just Wolverine only (No offended, Logan. We love you but I think we want to see more actions from other team!).

i'm more excited for the two Rurouni Kenshin sequels than this. at the end of the movie, wolverine will save the day, so wha't new? : /

and i'm not currently loving what Singer has done with some of the x-men characters - i.e. Psylock, Havok, Bishop (? really?)

want to be excited for this i really do but lets be real, we all know how the movie is going to end: everyone but wolverine will get their butts kicked and wolverine will kill apocalypse by himself cause yeah, that's realistic like when he killed phoenix in X3, cause somehow he is the ONLY ONE that she couldnt vaporize with a thought. until i hear full details (mostly who will be in it and i so want to see Magik one day) im like "eh"

and that's why i can no longer get excited when i hear about an upcoming x-men movie. days of future past killed that buzz with all the wolverine focus that they wont stop doing. its so hard to be an x-man fan when the movies really are "WOLVERINE and yeah those other people" sigh. thank the GODS for comics

Won't be seeing this. I will never see another "X-Men" (air quotes for a reason) movie until either the rights go back to Marvel or the franchise gets rebooted. Also, this article's title is wrong. It should say "New Wolverine movie announced".

YES.

Why are you saying YES?Have the previous X-men movies been that great?

In my eyes this just prolonges the day Marvel ever gets the rights back.I am disappointed.Its Fox its probably gonna end up Wolverine vs Apocalypse or some crap.

If the X-Force movie comes out first, then it'll be connect with this I would think. Taking a page from Marvel Studios and connecting films. Could work well if done right. Stryfe involved. Lets hope they don't screw this up.

i believe this is before xforce. im not 100% sure though and if it is that would be a nice way to weave into the fox xmen universe.

Have you ever used the internet, all people do is complain apparently.

People bitched that the Days of Future Past trailer didn;t have enough action and are now bitching the new Spider-Man trailer has "too much" in it. People don't know what they want, and aren't happy unless they are bitching, lol.

These people that complain about "too much Wolverine" must have apparently never really read the comics, throughout X-Men history there has been times when characters like Cyclops and Storm have quit or didn't appear in the X-Men for long periods of time. But you know has pretty much always been there and has never left for that long?? Some guy named Wolverine...and for that reason they have him as a centric character in the films??? No way.

Yeah, so he's bankable. Put him in every comic, in every movie, center stage. Screw the rest of the cast, they're just background material anyway. Rah, rah, rah, Wolverine.... ugh.

Screw the rest of the cast?? They made an X-Men film without him and he has a fair amount of screentime as everyone else in X2.

So Days of Future Past sets us up for Age of Apocalypse and possibly reboots the franchise bringing back certain characters and adding others into the roster and possibly changing where others are. Then X-Force comes afterwards to take down Apocalypse? Or Sinister or whoever they're going after

Haha, Fox are smartasses. They swoop in Apocalypse before Thanos becomes a main villain and Darkseid in the imaginary Justice League film.

I can't believe it took sixteen years from the first movie to get a movie with Apocalypse. Or that Rocket Raccoon will be on the big screen first.
