More X-Men Movies?
20th Century Fox is making plans for more mutant movies, after discovering X-Marks the spot at the box-office. According to USA Today, the studio has announced ideas for two more X-Men spin-offs, in addition to their previously planned Wolverine and Magneto films. Fox says they’re interested in making a feature based on X-Men’s Emma Frost, a character that’s proven to be popular in Marvel comics but not yet seen on screen. Another film could focus on the younger set, as Fox’s production president Hutch Parker says, “We’ve also talked about doing something on the kids in (Professor X’s) school, focusing on their lives, and less of a global adventure for the team.” The movie based on X-Men villain Magneto will apparently look back to the character’s younger years but could also see Ian McKellen reprising his role, as producer Lauren Shuler Donner says, “What’s a Magneto movie without Ian?” As for Hugh Jackman’s solo spin, production on Wolverine has been penned-in to start filming next year.
