X-men meets Terminator..I'm on board!
The personal issues will always be the best thing for me about the X-films, so I was quite excited when James talked about his ideas of developing Charles further when dealing with his emotional breakdown.Its such a big jump in term of concept, definetly, but they still can adress personal issues on the movie loganbabe.
lest hope for the best. They are taking their time with the script, so it can only mean a better work.
Your kinda believing Internet attacks on Singer.Superman returns made more money than first Class,wolverine,thor,Cap,and Incredible Hulk.At RT Superman retrns has 76
rating.Higher than the Amazing spider-Man,Iron Man 2,and the increidble Hulk.Singer was asked to do reboot of superman after warner's decided not to do sequel to Superman returns and he turned It down.Valykrie did decent business.The first film with tom Cruise to do so after his personal life caused MIII to underperform.And some early screenings
of the renamed Jack the giant slayer have been postivie
There are hints that Singer and vaughn had wanted to go with DOFP before the avengers opened.
Singer In spring 2011 talked about Hugh Jackman returning In first Class sequel
Vaughn as first Class was getting ready to open talked about flashforward In sequel with Ian Mckellan and Patrick stewart
In spring 2011 Lauren shueller Donnor was alking about X4 and It leading Into X5.and as first Class was arriving on bluray/DVD she was hemhowing aorund the subject.
Don't forget Donnor has been wantng to do DOFP for quite some time.
Bottom line I don't think the avengers success Is what caused DOFP to go forward.I think Singer,Vaughn,and Donnor wanted to go there.If anything the avengers helped them convince Fox to go all out for this film.You got a 175 million budget to start with and them being given more time than any X-Men film besides Origins to shoot and finish.
In my opinion Fox needed to do something ambitious and different with the franchise. It's the oldest of the modern superhero franchises and in order to keep interest you need to do something to get people excited.
I do agree with that, particularly as by the end of First Class we're left with the same X-Men/Brotherhood setup that was covered from several angles in the original trilogy. We've already had X-Men vs. Brotherhood and X-Men working with the Brotherhood, there needs to be some fresh new ingredient added into the mix.
I'm a tad nervous about the spectacle overshadowing the personal stuff as well, but there's no reason why they can't coexist in the same movie. And articles/blurbs like the ones from Millar are there to talk up the movie, so of course they'll be talking about what they think will sell the movie the best.
My bigger concern is that they'll be tempted to overstuff the movie with characters to the point where all the character stuff is as shallow and hurried as in The Avengers, which I'd really hate to see happen.
Where do you get the idea of Avengers being shallow and hurried? They already set up the thing from previous films and characterization. Whedon already had a template set up.
As most Avengers themed stories are. Same with LOTR and other ensemble themed stories.
