Sequels The New Mutants - Josh Boone to Direct

[def28]

That 2017 date for New Mutants would definitely be pushing it but if we're getting casting for it already, I guess they could certainly make it happen. Deadpool was on a tighter schedule and I don't think New Mutants would be on as big of a scale as DoFP or Apocalypse, so they could make it work. The script looks to be done at this point so there's nothing holding them back right now.

I still don't see them using the July 2018 date for New Mutant - that's a prime spot for the next X-Men movie and they'd be kind foolish to not place one there. Especially with the fact that we'll have a classic lineup of popular characters with Jean, Cyclops, Storm, Beast, Jubilee etc.

So yea, I'm pretty much thinking it's:

March 2017 - Wolverine 3
Late 2017 - New Mutants or Gambit
January 2018 - Deadpool 2
July 2018 - Untitled X-Men Movie

They could certainly squeeze another movie into late 2018 if they really wanted too.

Deadpool could have that date though. I don't think they would be too worried given the box office and the films opening against him. He's passed 350m domestic now. Not many other comic films can do those kind of numbers, and only one other solo has.

They can hold onto that date pretty confidently if they like, even without a main X-Men film. While never can be too sure, I don't think a main X-Men film will be released that year.

July could be X-Force movie. Let's see. In January 2018 we will get Deadpool 2 (featuring Cable, Domino) and then 6 months later theater hits with almost a continuation sequel, X-Force. Featuring Deadpool, Cable, Domino, maybe even Colossus. Deadpool 2 will certainly be hit and you would basically sold X-Force movie on just hype coming from Deadpool 2. Fox could basically shoot some scenes back to back giving multiple characters are appearing in both movies.

Maisie Williams would be an excellent casting choice; I really like her on Game of Thrones.

 

[GuestStar2004]

If anything will be in january its gonna be deadpool, they won't throw a ensemble movie into that time as its likely to cost more to make.

When it comes to the next X-MEN original team movie its hard to say when that would be, a summer release its the most likely but thats either gonna be 2018 or 2019.

Josh Boone follows Maisie on Twitter now?

Thats kinda interesting, i wonder if this was a more recent thing

Edit: Josh is following Anya Taylor Joy on twitter also

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

I know Maisie is his most recent follow.


Let's be on the lookout!

I just don't understand that way of thinking. Deadpool can destroy X-Men's box office in that release date, but X-Men can't make money there? So that's basically saying audiences will only see X-Men films in the Summer.

Then we have the arguments saying ... X-Men can't make Deadpool money because it's in the summer where there is more competition. Malificent and Alice are hurting it too much.

X-Men will sell regardless. January, February or November this **** will sell cause it's X-Men. If you really want audiences to choose over things they like I would think having Deadpool go against Ant-Man and Wasp would be a more confident strategic studio move. Given Deadpool has made more then every X-Men movie even adjusted.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

X-Men can make double Deadpool's $ if they go Comic book accurate. That's the whole problem


X-Men can be as big as Avenger's they just gotta give fans wht they want

Then we have the counter argument... which is X-Men can't make Deadpool money because it's in the summer where there is more competition.

FOX likely had some lack of faith in deadpool as i think its was said they also knocked off some money from the budget before filming and yeah it made them alot of money but that doesn't mean they would say make an assemble movie like new mutants with probably a budget of over 100 and put it in January while they put deadpool in Summer.

Deadpool has shown he will make money either way so they can put him anywhere, its not a case of imagine how much money we could make if we put this R rated sequel in a summer date!

X-MEN Original team movies have always been around May like X3,FC,DOFP and now apocalypse so they are likely to keep it around that time

 

[def28]

That makes no sense going up in-between Ant-Man and Wasp and Aquaman. Wouldn't you want a proven property that sells more then the competition, not new one? If you had the option?

Not that I don't agree that X-Men could be far more successful, but we are 16 years into Brian Singer X-Men movies and not even 3 months into Deadpool.

X-Men will have to ditch it's creative team and show a completely different side. Not happening.

Evolve or Die.... Pretty simple

 

[def28]

Evolve or Die.... Pretty simple

Not for this generation. Deadpool is their new "evolve", unless Apocalypse has some major surprises, which I hope will happen.

But those DP numbers are far too insane with interest off the bat.

 

[psylockolussus]

Evolve or Die.... Pretty simple

Tell that to the 16 years old film franchise aka the longest running superhero film series.

Yes it would be great to see comic-book inspired costumes and it would appeal to more people but its not the be all of all things.

 

[def28]

Main point being, X-Men doesn't have to be released in Summer.

For some odd reason people think that's the only way they can be a success. Which doesn't say alot about the franchise when Deadpool and BvS are grabbing bank.

 

[X-Maniac]

They're terrified of giving up that May holiday weekend slot because it's basically handing over the entire weekend to Disney.

But I agree the main X-Men team movies could try another slot.

Release date isn't the only issue, though. Leo is right about needing some big changes. Someone at Fox is aware of this or we wouldn't have had that pic of the costume reveal. Needs a lot more than costumes to set it on the right track though.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Apocalypse is probaly last X-men movie that will be released in may since from 2018 on disney is releasing both a marvel and star wars films in may.

some want the X-Men films to turn into MCU style films.Which would be Betreying what X-Men is about.Deadpool's success was for being actioncomedy.granted it was r rated one.that isn't tone for main X-Men films.I expect new mutants to be a bit lighter than main X-Men films.

 

[def28]

Stop lying to yourself, people just want that core X-Men feel one way or the other. The more the franchise moves there the more successful it gets. Deadpool played up what worked in the source to a tee. The X-Men films do not really do that even if they are awesome films.

Yeah, there's definitely a way to push the X-Men franchise there. Right now Civil War is actually pulling off X-Men TAS Money shots in their trailers. X-Men fans would love **** like that. And why wouldn't they when it comes from their material and history...but until Singer is gone that just ain't gonna happen. Not to say the films can't be great without that, but actually playing into the stuff readers and X-Mens fans have loved for years will definitely switch things up on another level.

And what's that, more style over substance like BVS and 3/4 of the MCU? Doing constant Fan service instead of having a story? Look, i'll admit that X-Men is not comic accurate like "others", but in my opinion most of the X-Men films have an advantage that to me the MCU (apart from IM1) and the new DCEU (not so much with Man of Steel, but definitely with BVS) don't have, which is that it knows its a movie that can stand on its own two feet and not a glorified commercial for future movies. I know that lots of comic fans love to bow down when they see a CBM being "accurate" and "close to the comics", but to me (and I'm a comic fan by the way, Fraction's Hawkeye is one of the best) most comic accuracy in movies (especially recently) feel like a crutch to hold itself from its mediocre writing and predictable tropes and cliches. Say what you want about Singer and company, at least when I see a comic book movie from him (not Superman Returns) I know that I'm getting my money's worth with watching an actual film (same with Raimi, Nolan, Vaughn, Favreau, Wright (if Scott Pilgrim counts as a CBM), etc...). I know this is a long paragraph, but I do want the franchise to evolve, but not to take place in the fanboy piss contest that DC and Marvel are doing, or the desperation for every studio to copy the "shared universe" gimmick. Let the X-Men films be the middle point between Marvel and DC films.

That's the money shot alright.

Between Mirage, Storm, & Sunspot, and the fact that it's a 4-2 female/male team, this is a really diverse and exciting group, imo.

As far as them being in the same time as a young X-Men team, remember that Beast, Mystique and Quicksilver are all in their late-20's/30s.

Also, when you're about 16, someone who's 18-20 seems like a huge age gap. And all they'd really need to do is play up the fact that these kids aren't the "X-Men". And at this point the X-Men have already saved the world against near-annihilation re: Apocalypse. There is plenty of reason for them to feel intimidated.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Oh jesus.live action films are not suspose to be like animated shows.the idea films being like animated show is crazy.the 1990's show wasn't even the best
X-Men animated show.that was wolverine and the X-Men.forget the name that show had more spirit of comics than 1990's show did.and that shot was
just for the intro.something like that never happened in context of actual episodes.

Apocalypse doesn't have wolverine except for possable cameo and they are transiting to more colorful costumes.Costumes don't make films.if it did BVS would be best batman film ever.But,they are starting to get into more accurate costumes.

My comic book collection has X-Men stories which spans 1963-mid 2000 so I know X-Men world quite well.X-Men often is dark,serious,and violent world.
The Main X-Men films with exception of last stand is true to spirit of it.Just as the wolverine is decent version of wolverine solo stories.I never read deadpool solo comics i knew him from appearances in new mutants,X-Force,and wolverine.and the X-Men films like comics aren't devoid of humor but they aren't usually cheesy except for maybe the naiming sequenze in First Class like often is case in Many MCU films.party and trying to pick up thor's hammer in AOU is main exhibit.

I really hate people using deadpool to bash X-Men films especilly since it's part of X-Men shared universe.

Moira can add more to the Female/Male ratio + she's Wolfsbane mom.

I feel FoX is making a HUGE mistake not Including Karma she could be huge in Asia

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

It's not just Comic Book Costumes


What I mean by being Comic Book Accurate to X-Men


- Baseball & Basketball!

- Show the X-Men actually spending time doing non save the world stuff together like (Eating Dinner or Hanging Out at The Bar or Pool Hall)

- Female Characters that actually talk to each other idk why this is so hard but they hardly talk to each other in these movies

- Proper Accents for the character's

- Better than 1v1 fights.. X-Men fight as a group

- Why can't the X-Jet be called The Black Bird

- Why can't the X-Men ever assemble in The War Room

- Why has the Danger Room only been used in the worst X-Men film ever


There's many little things that would improve X-Men to make it feel like X-Men
