Because plagiarism is shitty even if it's stupid meaningless messageboard plagiarism?
They don't really need him. It's safe to cut him loose.
I will not be surprised at all if he's gone. He might very well be gone already. He's not doing anymore press for the film with the issues surround him now. He was suppose to be at Wondercon I think but canceled. That's suppose to be the case for other appearances. Fox is likely not going to have him in public at all going forward. Will not be surprised if others interviews don't say his name. He is completely toxic at the moment regardless of how this thing ends. If they could strip his name from the trailers they would I bet.
I thought the same after X2.
They just need to not rush anything they do. If a director or writer says they need more time and a more appropriate budget then Fox needs to listen and not rush it out. Same with Sony. That's how we ended up with X-men: The Last Stand and Spider-man 3. I like to think both have learnt their lesson and know with Disney/Marvel in the position they are in and with WB/DC stacking out their own corner they know they can't screw things up.
The Singer situation is beyond their control. Everything else they can control when it comes to future films. So I really doubt we're going to see a repeat of X-men Origins or The Last Stand.

That was different circumstances. The guy they picked to succeed him bailed at the last minute after Singer himself bailed at the last minute.
Now? Now they have YEARS to grab somebody, and helping run a superhero series is a pretty good gig if you can get it. The number of potential prospects has gotta be better than a list that starts with Brett and ends with Ratner. Directors are likely a little more inclined to take such a job. Lotta job security there if you deliver. So long as you don't do something that shines a light on DECADES of shiesty behavior so ridiculous that the response to allegations of your sexual abuse of a minor isn't even "My GOODNESS" but "It took THAT long??"
I do think this though. The next director's background is going to be scrutinized so thoroughly that the FBI/CIA might end up impressed.
That possibly too.
I wonder how big of a role Stryker is going to have. He's been a focus in two films already not counting DOFP. Wonder if they're over doing it with him.

Maybe not so much scrutinized as scrubbed up. Make the payoffs now while it's cheaper.
If things get worse for Singer, I'm betting they'll ask Matthew Vaughn back. He has a good relationship with Fox, he's still involved with X-Men films as producer and writer, he's producing the Fantastic Four reboot for them, and he was originally supposed to direct Days of Future Past anyway if he didn't drop out to direct the Secret Service movie. Just depends if he says yes. If not, hopefully they hire a decent enough director.
At this point I would be completely fine with that. I don't think X1 or X2 did anything particularly better than First Class. I loved Kick-Ass. Cinema X-Men is already kind of screwing with it's continuity both with itself and to the comics.

Holy shit I am hyped for this movie.
I don't give a shit what MCU-wankers say, Sony are doing pretty darn well with the X-men franchise - it is rich enough to stand as a universe on its own.

Is this the new Capcom/Konami?

I hope this means we'll get Vaughn doing the rest of the X-men films.
I still prefer EA's X-men universe.

Debating about watching this trailer. I've heard it's epic... but I also kinda wanna go in blind. Thoughts?

Don't watch it. Quite a few spoilers littered throughout.

I'm hoping now that Singer is gone they might considering giving the reins to the universe to Christopher McQuarrie. Guy was clearly interested in this and seeing an X-Men movie completely written and directed by him would be amazing. Especially since he will be coming off from hot Mission Impossible 5, which would be really effective for marketing purposes.

Is Singer gone for good? Did I miss a development?

Has an explanation been provided as to how Charles came back to life after been disintegrated in X3? Sorry if this was answered previously in the thread.

He transferred his mind into a person in a coma I think it was.

Yeah, except he makes everyone think it's Xavier when they see the other guy, who also happens to be wheelchair bound.
You know what? Fuck it. Fuck the timeline. Fuck continuity. Fuck gaping plot holes. I'm going to see this film and enjoy it.
Edit: btw, does anyone have a link to the after credits scene of winter soldier?
haha shit i totally forgot about that
Wondering the same thing myself

He's just not going to make public appearances to promote the movie. He could still be around for Age of Apocalypse, depending on whether he's deemed guilty of the accusations or not.
Not yet, but I'm sure they'll take care of that in the movie. Just like they handled Young Xavier looking like Data from Star Trek in X-Men Origins Wolverine.
According to even Patrick it's just the scene at the end of X3, he even commented on how surprised he was that so few people watched it according to the other thread.
Now that I think of it, was X3 the first time one of these movies did a post-credits scene?

I kind of want to. No one's listed in the OT |OT|.
X-Men: Days of Future Past |OT| aka X-Men 4 aka First Class II aka Wolverine 6
Probably not ... X2 had one.... but was as usefull as the "after all credits" scenes on marvel movies : just some yellow glowing on the water.
X3 probably had the first "middle credits scene" important scene
oh shit, really? That movie has been out for 11 years and I never knew it had an after credits scene.
X2 doesn't have an after credits scene. He was alluding to the voice over by Jean at the end of the movie with the camera flying over Alkali Lake where you can just barely make out a yellowish Phoenix bird shape under the water before it cuts to the credits.
X3 has an after credits scene where Moira is in the room of the comatose patient she and Charles were video conferencing about earlier in the movie. We never get a clear view of the patient, but he says, "Moira", in Xavier's voice and startles Moira. It's assumed Xavier transferred his mind into that body right before he died. If you watch the commentary for the movie, Ratner and the writers say that it could be Xavier's twin brother. They do make mention that they know he has a twin sister in the comics, but decided to make it a brother as an "out" for future movies.
Do it. The sequel to everything.
So she was cut out for more Professor X and Magneto? I'm down, sadly.
No, cutting the Rogue subplot meant cutting Xavier/Magneto's mission. So it'd be less Stewart and McKellan, not more.
She's the only casting choice I've ever bitched about.

No, she was ADDED in order to cut more Prof X and Magneto. That whole subplot was cut, and their screentime with it.
Bleh.
I'm with the writer on this one, I do hope that it comes up in the Blu-Ray eventually.

Beast apparently can change between looking human and looking mutant at will. What's the deal with that?

He was working on a cure in First Class, guess he improved it?

in your face "Jackill and Mr Hyde" reference
So apparently, that photo of the little girl with Quicksilver is NOT the Scarlet Witch according to Singer...
