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!

Yawn...these Xmen movies suck! Wolverine 6'4 come on now! Terrible acting and Jean Grey should only be with Cyclops. Horrible I tell u!

Firstly, this will be the 8th film of the franchise over a 16 year period, under numerous directors and writers. How do you even try to just lump them together like they're all the same quality of film? Furthermore, I have some gripes with certain films of the franchise, but if Wolverine being too tall is a serious problem for you, why do you even bother trying to enjoy entertainment? If you're so picky that the height of a character makes the slightest difference to your enjoyment of a story, why bother trying? It's not like being short is a fundamental character trait that affects his actions.

I just hope for Cyclops, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Polaris, Banshee, and Cable either return, get recasted, or make their appearance.

Please not Fantomex.

as far Lang... I dont want the same mistakes that were made with Magneto. I originally thought Bruce Willis if you want older but still action-based but now im not sure maybe the Monroe guy from Revolution on Fox?

@dreamfall31: Agreed. By the time X-Force rolls around, that guy will be too old for a property they will want for at least 8 years. They're probably going to cast someone in their 30s and dye his hair white.

Really hoping the X-Force 5 are Cable, Deadpool, Psylocke, Bishop, and Juggernaut. It's supposed to take place after X-Men: Apocalypse, so hopefully some time travel is involved.

@tazzmission: He's got the look, but I will never see him as any other character but the bad guy from Avatar. That and I'm sure they'll want to cast someone younger and closer to A-list.

The timing of this is awesome, giving even more hype to the franchise so that people will want to see DoFP to make sure they know what's going on. Plus, with another solo Wolverine movie, I'm hoping this will have plenty of ensemble support. I just really don't want an AoA movie. I hated those stories, but I love Apocalypse and all that comes with him, so I'm just super excited to see where this all goes.

Meh.

If you have to change the main character of the source material to sell tickets I have little reason to have high hopes for the next movie.

yea like milking a charachter is brand new............... the irony of this statement is laughable since the people who complain about there being to much batman will still go see the 2015 movie of superman with him in it. if i had a dollar for everytime someone said movie ruined or i aint seeing it id be a billionare

I'm really looking forward to this film, but such a long way off. Well, to the creative team, please study X-Men the animated series from the 90s, when making a film about Apocalypse. The episodes to consider: Come the Apocalypse, Obsession, his cameo in Sanctuary, Part 2, Beyond Good and Evil, and The Fifth Horseman. If the creative team remembers such source material, as the 90s animated series, and they make Apocalypse awesome, this should be a great movie. Please, don't fowl him up with the mess created in the comic books and prior X-Men movies; getting source material from anything other than the 90s X-Men tv show would turn a great movie into a mediocre to poor film.

Probably another Wolverine movie.

@ssejllenrad said:

Honwst title:

Tall Pretty Boy Wolverine part 7- The Age where Apocalypse gets beaten by Wolverine.

I've got a feeling they'll depower Apocalypse alot so that he'll want wolverines healing factor or some garbage like that .

What would really make my day would be them rebooting the X-Men altogether. It is one of Marvel's best properties, and one of the best team books ever, it deserves better, especially than just being a glorified Wolverine vehicle.

@dernman said:

I wonder if they are Days of the Future past is going to soft reboot the franchise. I would love to see Cyclops back and actually be important in the movies.

Same here.

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

Hmmm I'm sensing a theme. Sad to say but probably true.

It will be interesting to see who the X-men are at the end of Days of Future Past (old cast or First class cast), I think that will really affect the story they can tell.

Can anyone remember the X-men Evolution Apocalypse storyline in the final season? that was pretty cool in an otherwise mediocre series, I feel something like that could work in live action.

Hope Apoc gets somewhat of a intro in Days. Glad this franchise is not going over to disney/marvel so they can kiddie it up and ruin the villains.

That moment when Fox has more movies than DC... LOL.

that may be true but think of what might happen if dofp dosent do well at the box office. fox stated its there second one billion dollar film they invested in with avatar being the first. to me the trailer looked amazing but in the end its really going to come down to box office draw because in order to break even i believe they have to make a billion ( not great with math but still). also even though it still looks questionable i think batman/superman is probably the most anticipated movie coming even if it is in 2015 it very well could suck but i think itll bank 2 billion i really do.

Haha, DC gets stomped again. Marvel will get Thanos and Apocalypse out before WB can even muster the courage to have someone write the name Darkseid as spoken dialogue in a script draft.

People already hating because they speculate it's going to be Wolverine 7, just shut up and enjoy the fact we're getting another X-Men movie and it's probably going to be FREAKING AWESOME.

NOW CHANT WITH ME, VINERS!

What to say else beside yes.

And beside, when anybody think about the x-men they probably thinks to wolverine too.

@colmillo_senpai: that's the worst comparison I think I've ever seen. Singer isn't Scorsese but he has a technical profencicy that Bowel utterly lacks.

That could be interesting but eh Age of Apockalypse functions better because of the long wide spread format and not a singular threw line. Then again maybe it could be good, I've been wanting them to do it for a while.

Lol they didn't include 'Age of' in the title... Seriously though, Singer is always looking for attention - he can't let WB or Marvel have a week to themselves.

This is pretty exciting though... Fox has officially surpassed DC and caught up with Marvel:

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Fantastic Four

X-Force

The Wolverine 2

X-Men: Apocalypse

Yup! Right now Fox is tied with Marvel Studios as my favorite superhero company with Sony and WB far behind. I really cannot wait to see the above films. I'm excited for all of them! I really want them all to be great.
