Well, whatever the Suicide Squad situation, there is something seriously wrong with the domestic take/appeal of X-Men: Apocalypse - compared with this year's other movies, compared with the other X-Men movies and compared with the expectations.
New blood is definitely needed.
People need to accept especilly with how marvel has treated X-Men since launch of MCU and disney buying them X-Men doesn't have the great appeal
to GA.plus while X-Men films aren't devoid of humor they will always be more serious.SS in promation and with reshoots tried to be more marvel like which seems to be the problem.X-Men deals with themes GA really doesn't want to
think about.
Deadpool is a totaly different ballgame.deadpool is more comedic character.GA were drawn to him like they were MCY film version of stark.Although Deadpool has some adult things in it that you would never
find In MCU film.Deadpool takes the piss out of entire genre.and it seems like that will continue in sequels.
all 3 DCEU films have rotten ratings.both Surcide squad and Batman V SUperman have worse reviews than Apocalypse.
here is thing to consider Badly reviewed apocalypse did about as well domesticly as highly praised first Class.
While time travel and sentinles gave GA something different with DOFP time to admit return of OC was a factor.
as for new blood comments Kinberg isn't going anywhere.it's very clear
he is writing and producing.and he is closest thing to an overseer that fox
has for film.
Singer's involvement is questable for future.Noone knows what he is doing next since there has been absolutle no news on 20,000 Leagues under the sea.that doesn't mean he has any involement in future X-men films.
all we know on next film is Kinberg is going to write it.
The question is how many of new cast members for apocalypse they have
under contract will be back.
will James Mcavoy,Michael fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence,and Nicholas Hoult be resigned
does evan peter have another film on his contract
since Kinberg seems to have an inkling to do better version of dark phoenix.
Singer once mentioning proteus is ilrelvent since he may not have any involvement with future X-Men films.Although Kinberg suggested the essex corp in post credit scene would connect to gambit film and next X-men film
as well as next wolverine film so Sinister could be villain of next X-Men film.
whoever fox hires to direct the question is will it still feel like sequel to FC/DOFP/Apocalypse.
