Wolverine is most likely gonna happen correct. The same with Magneto considering Ian's update on it. And X4's likeliness depends on how much moolah it brings in. It has already been stated by people involved with the film that they can see it continuing further. Quit with your "no movie past 3 can be good" attitude. And Zak Penn is signed on to direct and write a movie that will most likely showcase the younger X-Men.
It's not really a "no movie past 3 can be good" attitude, it's a "they are obviously concluding the storyline with this movie" attitude.
I don't know if you understand this, but there is a process to storytelling. And despite all of the subplots each movie has presented, there is an obvious continuing story arc between all 3 movies.
X-Men is the introduction,
X2 is the rising action, and
X-Men 3 will be the climax / resolution.
In storytelling, the climax and resolution is the END OF A STORYLINE.
After
X-Men 3, their story will have been told, and there will be nothing left to tell in this story.
It's not about movies past 3 sucking. It's about them treating this as the final installment.
It's also about the studios saying no more after this one. If they did make another one, after all the talk about "no more, this is it", it would be blatantly obvious that it's just out to make money, and quality wouldn't be a driving force behind it.
Studios don't know how to call it quits when their stories have already been told. It's the reason we have films like
Terminator 3...
