I'm not just confident enough with FOX creating so many movies in like 2 to 3 years unlike with Marvel Studios.
Like imagine, if we get 5 X-Men related movies in just 3 years. I don't think all of those movies will pass the $100 million mark at the domestic box-office and I don't think all of them will be good. I also fear that the general audience would get tired of the X-Men films series and if that happened, FOX might pull a Daredevil or Fantastic Four to the X-Men movie series and that would just suck.
Yeah, Im not sure either.
I just pointed out that Fox COULD do it, but that doenst mean it will work perfectly.
They have two series right now with First Class and Wolverine. So thats not bad at all.
They could add another spin-off, from one character only, and could introduce some characters from the comics there too, but to create a shared universe to use some actors from one series into another.... its a hard thing, specially with First Class set in the past, and a possible new proyect, in the present (probably).
Thats the main problem with the x-men right now, that they arent following a chronological timeline. So they couldnt do exactly what Marvel has done.
That doesnt mean they couldnt do a New mutants movie, set in the present, and shared in the same universe as X1-X3. But that could limit the evolution of First Class, with future characters and plots, and all of that.... so Im not sure if that would be a good idea at all.
And in terms of boxoffice, Id preffer Fox to spent all their money and time in making AMAZING First Class sequels, instead of making more x-men movies, with less dedication.
The First Class series can be really really big, long term. The question is HOW far do they want to go with this new series.
I hope the sequel brings much more money and Fox decides to create a long and great franchise with this concept and cast.
They can use Cyclops, Jean and Storm on this new series too, since they are three of the core x-men in their history, so adding these three to Beast, Havok, Banshee, and possible future additions like Polaris, Sunfire, Psylocke and more x-men from the 70's and 80's, they can create a pretty big and decent franchise with all of these characters.
So I hope they take advantage of all this potential and go as far as the audience wants.
