I think we can all agree that, for the most part, the first two X-Men movies were really good. When it came time for the third, Bryan Singer decided he wanted to do "Superman Returns" instead. Was that the best choice? We all give Brett Ratner a hard time over how X-3 came out but I've always said the blame can't fall just on his shoulders.
The latest word from Singer is he has some regrets over his decision. He mentioned that he spent six years of his life on the first two movies. Singer has mentioned that he might be interested in doing the "X-Men Origins: Magneto" movie and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner would like to have him back.
Will we see Singer doing the Magneto movie?
Possibly. The only thing that concerns me about Magneto is that if the prequel were to follow the track I used in X-Men, which is Magneto's history in the concentration camp, then I've lived in that world.
That's been my concern with the movie. We've seen his 'origin' as a child. Sure there's more that could be told. Singer also mentions that after having done "Apt Pupil," "X-Men" and his current "Valkyrie," he wants a break away from the "Nazi universe."
Would he ever return to Superman?
I don't know, I don't know. There are still issues...I just...I just don't know. I don't necessarily...I don't know. It's one of those things where...It's so weird talking about stuff unless I'm about to ramp up and shoot it.
Would you like to see Singer return to the X-Universe? Do you think he would've handled X-3 differently? How do you think Singer did on Superman (directing it)?
