X-Men: Dark Phoenix
 

Yeah, "The New Mutants" will be called "The New Mutants"... if and when it happens. Most of these planned X-Men movies by Fox tend to just never materialize.

New Mutants has reached the animatic stage, that much we know, and McAvoy is tipped to appear as Xavier.

So it's set in the 80s, also? Or present day with McAvoy in aging makeup?

God, these movies are awful. Reboot!

Well... theory time!

"Supernova" is a code name, and the real name will be "X-Men: Phoenix."

Prophecy time!

It'll suck.

I wouldn't doubt it. Singer is far from above recycling his own garbage again. Plus he seems obsessed with "correcting" Ratner's X3. And I dunno, people made such a fuss about, "If Singer had done X3 instead of Superman Returns, it would have been INFINITELY better than Ratner's movie!"... but how do we know that? If anything, I'd imagine it'd be slower and significantly smaller.

I wonder if Magneto will become the villain again? :roll:

FOX may be trying to ape Suicide Squad, the original "Supernova" story arc in the X-Men: Legacy title dealt with Rogue and Cable leading a team of X-Villains.

C'mon. C'MON.

In every Bryan Singer X movie, he's been the villain. All five of them.

I saw Apocalypse a couple weeks ago, and I can say with no exaggeration that it was one of the WORST films I have ever seen in my life. There were no, literally no, redeeming factors at all. It was so bad at times, if I didn't know better, I would have said the film was a satire of the superhero genre.

So I hope to God this "Supernova" project never happens.

Mystique's purple dress, the Nightcrawler/Angel cage fight, and Quicksilver evacuating the mansion. That's, what, six minutes of film? That was it for me.

If that's the worst film you've ever seen you're lucky, you've never seen truly horrible films.

We live in a world where people would rather watch A Serbian Film than an X-Men film. Top kek.

Resident Evil 2 is worse.

Its also gonna be set during the 90s.

That's another thing that I just don't get about having one movie for each decade. What horrible physical mutilation do James McAvoy's Xavier and Michael Fassbender's Magneto endure to age into Patrick Stewart and and Ian McKellen so quickly between the '90s and 2000?

Well, Professor X went bald because he fought Apocalypse, who he didn't actually fight in the original timeline even though in that timeline he still went bal -- wait, huh?

Yeah, its a new timeline which allowed them to start fresh, Deadpool is set in the new timeline on present day, and Logan in the far future of the new timeline.

Fox's continuity and general timeline logic is completely non-existent. I'm not talking about in terms of old and new X-Men, I'm talking about basic film-to-film logic.

Take the ending of Apocalypse. The very ending, where the Sentinels were used for the Danger Room.
Now HOLD THE F*CK ON. The entire point of DoFP was to make sure that the Sentinels were never made. So not only does Professor X resurrect the Sentinels, knowing full well their dark possible future, but he programs them to attack mutants. :|

It makes no sense whatsoever, in any possible way, if you've seen DoFP. But it looks cool so that's why it's in the movie. But that's the Fox formula for X-Men: if it's cool, put it in, even if it's completely ass-backwards.

The X-men franchise needs a serious facelift. The smartest thing they can do is let Deadpool be the beginning of a new series. It was successful and proved there is a strong enough audience for R-rated superhero flicks. That could be the thing X-men needs to separate itself from the competition.

A large chunk of the audience of superhero films has always been kids. Which is why they try to avoid R ratings.

Wolverine and Deadpool are the only characters suitable for R ratings due to there violent nature, But the majority of X-Men always appeal to all ages.

Correct. The core X-Men movies need to be PG-13, they should be. But the Wolverine movies should have always been the R-rated "adult" alternative. Not just now, with the "final" one, and just because their low budget/experimental Deadpool made money.

Ugh. "Shooting soon."

Sophie Turner is only in her early 20's yet she looks 30 already. Goddamn, some women age way too fast.

Cool. Another rushed Dark Phoenix script from Simon Kinberg.

Weird that this is supposedly shooting in a few months despite no director or official release date.

Right. There has been absolutely no announcement about Singer or no Singer.

I am glad they're continuing to use the new young cast. Scott, Jean, Storm, Nightcrawler have some good young actors now, I'd like to see them grow into their roles. And hey, maybe Jubilee will get more than 30 seconds of screentime in this movie.

I suspect that, after the rather lukewarm BO intake of 'Apocalypse', they're doing some light damage control... something tells me Ms. Turner was not supposed to spill the beans on this quite yet!

Didn't Singer say he wouldn't be directing this one? Now I'm worried they're bringing him back since there has been zero publicity on this so far. I want to say Singer said he had a movie lined up for later in the year and he's doing the X-Men pilot for Fox because he had an opening.

Even without Singer it'll probably still suck since Kinberg is writing it but hopefully they'll bring in someone without a black leather fetish.

Do I dare hope that Vaughn could be coming back to the X-Men? First Class rocked. But then again, there's a new Kingsman coming out. :/

Maybe after Kingsman 2, we can get another Vaughn X-Men movie...

Yeah, they'll never get Vaughn back. I would have loved two more from him though :(

Can you imagine? I'd have love to have seen his "Days of Future Past."

He said something about "blah blah, Apocalypse wraps up a trilogy and I'm very happy about that," which kind of infers some hand washing of the franchise. But not necessarily.

It'll be pretty ironic if their big "Phoenix Saga, Take 2" movie is rushed out with another B-list director like Ratner. X-Men 3 for Fox all over again. I bet they'll "win" back Singer. That's probably important to them.

Right? Such a cruel world.

Ratner > Singer

The Last Stand > X 1 & 2

Oh, I agree. And that was with being rushed to meet a seemingly impossible deadline. With some proper pre-production, Ratner could have done an even better job.

Simon Kinberg up for writing and directing.

Gross!

Just put a bullet in the franchise

I'm actually surprised they are carrying on with this version of the X-Men.

With Deadpool signaling a fresh start and Logan closing the door on Jackman as Wolverine, this would be the ideal time to start fresh with the X-Men.
