Penn admitted that he was originally signed on to write and direct a "young X-Men film," but that's recently changed. Says Penn, "The original idea was to have me do a young X-Men spin-off, a spin-off of the young X-Men characters. But someone came up with a pretty interesting idea which I can't discuss. I was pretty taken by it, as was the studio. I have to give him credit, it was this guy who worked with me named Mike Chamoy -- he worked a lot with me on X3. He came up with how to do a young X-Men movie which is not what you'd expect. We'll see; I still have to talk to Fox, set the story down ... and then it will take a year -- maybe two years -- to get together. Put it this way, if you agree to do one of the X-Men movies, it could end up happening four or five years down the line. Which is fine with me; it's just not my focus right now."
As far as Hulk goes, Penn went into a lot of detail regarding his vision, and the way he approached the script. He squashed those gray Hulk rumors, saying Avi Arad "must have been mis-quoted," and there will not be a gray Hulk. And when I brought up further casting announcements, Penn said that we should be hearing some big news within the next few days.
Raph's Girl note: Young X-Men...depending on what they're thinking of doing it'll be interesting to see what they come up with. Now, is it just me or does Zak Penn resemble Lex Luthor?
