^ God forbid they read that!
I suspect they aren't keeping an eye on the forums because we've been pretty nasty lately and they know that no marketing or news = unhappy fans. Days of Future Past was on a whole other level: the original cast + news and material every other week? Hell yeah, that hype meter was way high!
I have a feeling Kinfberg's only temporarily standing in for Singer and has a well-deserved break coming to him. These delays prove it's too much to handle for one man! Let's give him the benefit of the doubt this time around, but hope they find Singer's replacement soon.
If Fox continues, they need a seasoned director to put together a universe
and they do desperately need a mature team in the present. You can't have a bunch of spinoffs and prequels featuring a cast comprised mostly of aspiring actors in their early 20s. You need a solid X-Men team of 30, 40 and 50 something year olds to make your main installments like the Avengers universe does, that should be the backbone of an X-Men franchise and set in the present or near future.
They need to pick up where Logan left off and bring the X-Men back together. Marsden's too expensive or busy? Fine! Recast. He was masked behind his visor most of the time. You've got McKellen, Keen, Brolin, Paquin, Page, Omar Sy, Fan Binbing, the actor portraying Colossus currently, plus a wealth of other characters to recast and explore like Emma Frost, Gambit, Sinister, Beast, etc.
