So I've gathered together ALL news on Fox's newly planned "X-Men" universe. A new universe is being planned, villains are rumoured, mutants getting their chance on screen, new films, plans with old characters in new films.........EVERYTHING!!!!
First, let's start with the goings on with "Days Of Future Past" shall we. Popular "X-Men" villain Apocalypse is being rumoured to appear in a future "X-Men" film or spin-off because Fox have plans to expand the universe and they've planned new spin-offs and sequels. He's reportedly appearing in "DOFP" first to give fans a tease that he is out and about and will take on the "X-Men" at some point in the next few years. Apocalypse is being described as the Thanos of the "X-Men" universe.
Here's what an insider over at Fox had to say on the fan favourite villain,
"He's definitely a big part of Fox's whole plan for a big X-Men universe with spin-off movies. The Avengers really is the template here. Will he show up in Days Of Future Past? I won't say too much about that. You'll just have to wait and see."
Over at COMIC-CON, fans have been given a first look at Trask Industries and the "DOFP" Sentinels. The new Sentinels don't look much like the ones from the comics or even the one that was teased back in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand". They have a new black sleek futuristic look about them.......basically they look awesome!!! Here are some images below of them from this years COMIC-CON.
And now onto what's next after "DOFP". "The Wolverine" and "DOFP" producer Hutch Parker has mentioned that, even though there are no plans yet, he sees both "First Class" cast and the original cast go on to their own films again. This means that a potential "X-Men 4" is very possible and a proper "X-Men: First Class 2" is very possible also. He doesn't mention if the two casts will meet again, but they might if this joined sequel is good enough. This is good news for fans of both casts. I previously reported that Fox only wanted to go ahead with a direct sequel to "X-Men: The Last Stand" rather than "First Class 2", but this sheds some possible light on that matter.
Fox still have plans to go ahead with multiple "X-Men" projects anyway wither this film is good or not. Here's the link to his interview at the UK premier to "The Wolverine" on YouTube: http://youtu.be/6Nt4L8CV68Q
"X-Force" creator, Rob Liefeld, has confirmed that Fox are developing an "X-Force" will and have been since March of this year. That team is made up of Cable, Deadpool, Wolverine, Colossus, X-23, etc.
There's actually loads of them to pick from for the planned film that's in works with "KICK-ASS 2" director Jeff Wadlow. He's obviously making a good impression on himself with that sequel. I wouldn't mind a big screen adaption of that comic. Never read it, but it looks interesting enough to be made into a movie. Both Cable and Deadpool have been confirmed to be part of the team in the new film.
It's not been confirmed if Ryan Reynolds will be playing Deadpool though. He's still talking about the on, off, on again standalone "Deadpool" film. He might be playing him, he might not. Fans will just have to wait and see.
And now onto the potential "Magneto" standalone anthology/origins film starring Michael Fassbender and possibly Ian McKellen, depending on how good he is returning as old Magneto in "DOFP". Rob Liefeld also confirmed that the project is still active over at Fox via his Twitter account.
I would love to see an origins film, especially with Fassbender back as Magneto. It would be awesome to see him in a full length film on his own.
And that's it on all "X-Men" news from COMIC-CON for now..........stay tuned for more over this weekend.
