Well at least we might actually get an X-men film, and not Wolverine and friends.

It's Mystique & Friends now

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Not that I can think of

Meh. We got almost a Avengers Assemble after only two movies, but it seems like To Me My X-Men is to comicbooky for Fox.

But then again, while making magnificent performances, no Movie Xaviars are the type who would say this

 

[Broken Joystick]

At what point do they just concede that Fantastic Four isn't going to work as a movie and just put the effort toward some other comic book series? Like what is it about F4 that they HAVE to keep trying, no matter how many times it crashes and burns?

If Fox/Constantin Film don't use the F4 rights, they automatically revert back to Marvel Studios (or so I believe).

edit: You probably knew that, read your question wrong.

I can hear James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart saying it. I just wish we'd get badass Cyclops, which we haven't gotten. We keep getting mopey Cyclops, which works fine, but the problem is we get mopey Cyclops off the bat. It shouldn't be that way.

Yes, after 7 years without a movie in production.

 

[BKatastrophe]

THAT long? Really? Though I suppose there was 5 years between FF:RotSS and the most recent F4.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

7 years actually. F4 was fast-tracked because they would've lost the rights last year if they didn't have anything in production.

Oh it was 7 years? I suppose time flies when you forget a movie exists.

7 from release of ROTSS to the production of the last one, 8 if you're counting the time between the actual releases.

Every time someone says it's impossible to make a good FF movie, a little piece of me dies.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

The same people probably also think there's never been a good FF book

 

[Slayven]

My mind autocorrects it as it is impossible for Fox to make a good FF movie.

And we will never get this either:

 

[BKatastrophe]

I was counting the time from release of the last to production the most recent.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

And we will never get this either:

Why are you doing this?

 

[Mudcrab]

Why are you doing this?

This is just Phony's coping mechanism.

 

[BKatastrophe]

We'll also never get this:

another villain for Marvel to ruin

FOOL! No one ruins Doom!

 

[Garlador]

another villain for Marvel to ruin

They can't do worse than Fox has with Doom....

Besides, Marvel's Loki and Kingpin beat the ever living tar out of pretty much every Fox villain not named "Magneto".

What is this thread even now?

Also, I think people are short-changing Striker from X-2

Damn fine villain. No redeeming qualities.

FOX themselves should stop trying, but there's really nothing to concede. F4 can and would work (very well, I might add) if the material was given to someone that actually understands, respects, and dare I say, likes it.

Cox is a great actor.
