Well I for one would be fine with waiting for Dark Phoenix until X8.

And thought this won't be the case, Mutant Massacre would be a way to introduce Gambit, even though I cringe at the image of Tatum standing next to the younger X-Men. I dunno, maybe he's just been around longer and in the shadows while working for Sinister.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Unless they entirely remove the cosmic setting and have it set on Earth. But then I can't see why they would choose Supernova as a title.

Well to be fair it probably will be set a certain amount on earth since they can't start the movie with them heading off into space when there needs to be far more set up to the whole space and aliens thing then just TO SPACE! *hops into rocket and blasts off*

Yeah I'd still rather see Gambit in the X-Men movies rather than his own movie, but it seems like a solo movie is the only way we'll ever get him.

TO SPACE! *hops into rocket and blasts off*

I'll admit that made me laugh. t:

Kind of hilarious to see Kinberg use "grounded and gritty" to describe his future film again, that was a damn meme before FF was released. I really do hope for the best, X-Men are the best superhero characters out there and there's endless potential with these films, just do it right this time and try and hold some kind of quality control over the whole thing.

 

[GuestStar2004]

its funny because Deadpool was probably not quite dark and gritty and had fairly low budget, logan is probably the dark and grittiest and probably has a bigger budget while the X-Men movies have always been a mixture of the Deadpool and Logan tones but not fully embracing neither.

Saying something is dark and gritty doesn't really mean we can't afford to do something big and bright, it just means there is a desire to attempt something more dark and gritty.

 

[JEM]

Kinberg word make me think Supernova will focus more on relationship (Cyclop/Jean) than space opera.

 

[X-Maniac]

Well, surely it needs to merit the title Supernova.

Who said anything about hopping into a rocket and blasting off? Stop trying to be smart, it doesn't suit you.

Simon on the idea of directing and X-Men: apocalypse

ComingSoon.net: They just announced you as the director of X-Men: Supernova, which is very exciting…

Simon Kinberg: They didn’t announce it, somebody broke a story about it that’s premature, but we have been talking about what the next X-Men movie would be since post-production on the last X-Men movie. We are prepping the film, can’t say much more than that, but we’re excited to get back into telling the story of the mainland X-Men.

CS: If you did, hypothetically, get to direct for the first time, you’ve produced a lot of stuff and you certainly know your way around a set. How would you describe the directorial style you would bring to the movie?

Kinberg: I’ve had the good fortune of working with a lot of good directors, from Bryan Singer to Ridley Scott to Sir Kenneth Branagh, and I’ve also had the opportunity to work with directors that aren’t as good and I learned a lot of lessons from those directors as well. I really like my job, I really like writing and producing movies. If that was my job for the rest of my life I’d be a very lucky man. My directorial style would probably be very similar to my writing and producing style, which is very collaborative.

CS: As far as the previous film, X-Men: Apocalypse, there seems to have been a split, in that the people who love the comic books really appreciated it and the people who are fans of the more grounded movies thought it went a little too far in the comic book direction. What lessons did you learn from Apocalypse?

Kinberg: As the writer of it, I thought when we started the movie and when I wrote the movie that we were telling the story of a family splitting apart and coming back together. In the final movie its in there, but it’s a little buried, and the movie on the surface became about a guy who wanted to destroy the world. The guy that wanted to destroy the world is a superhero movie from 25, 30 years ago. Today’s superhero movies that we love the most –the “Dark Knight” movies, “Guardians of the Galaxy,” the first “Iron Man” movie, those are movies about human beings in relatable circumstances that happen to have super powers. I think “Apocalypse” became more about global stakes than human stakes. That’s the lesson I learned from the movie, that human and personal stakes always trump global stakes. It’s something that Bryan did, if you go back to the first “X-Men” movie, what Magneto’s trying to do is something global in scale, but ultimately it’s about saving Rogue. The movie is about Wolverine and Rogue, a guy who doesn’t want to be connected to anybody and a girl who’s lost. They find each other, and in finding each other they find each other with the X-Men. It was a brilliant way of telling that story. I think with “Apocalypse” we got away from that a little bit. Maybe we all got a little enamored in the possibility of seeing the world get destroyed and do some things in terms of scale and scope that we haven’t done in the X-Men movies. Scale and scope don’t matter. Audiences today know it’s fake, they’ve seen the world blow up a million times in video games and movies.

I'm fine with that but they should develop them first and then do Dark Phoenix, Kinberg already made it sound like Dark Phoenix isn't a guarantee.

A draft is of course already written, but since they're just now negotiating with the actors there is a possibility extensive rewrites will be in order.

Or recasts.

Okay, that part is promising at least, that we get back to the family aspect of the X-Men instead of focusing on a big, end of the world event. If the next main film was just a chance to watch the new team bond and develop, maybe see Scott grow as a possible leader- or Storm- and explore his relationship with Jean, then that's great.

I'm still hesitant on Kinberg writing and directing, but this does sound like there were lessons learned from Apocalypse.

I talked about that. Kinberg isn't a visionary director like Singer, Nolan, Cameron or Reeves. Thoses guys want to have control on everything.
Kinberg will just hire right people and let them do what they want. The second unit will have a lot of work to do. He is more a producer so i will not be surprised if Supernova is the most faithfull X-Men movie . But i am afraid it could be without soul.

 

[Link]

I'm happy that Kinberg realizes what went wrong with Apocalypse, and admits that it wasn't perfect. That's promising, at least. Still I hope it's a third party directing this.

What I'm getting of all of this is that Kinberg is a good talker. A good writer and director is an entirely different story. They have to prove it with actions, not words.

Same here on all fronts.

Gee, I wonder who the director who "wasn't as good" is...

In total agreement.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

Kinberg name dropped Exiles!

Hopefully Phoenix proposes to Cyclops at the end of the movie.

 

[marvelrobbins]

noone really wants Kinberg directing supernova.

I take his comments as dancing around him directing.

Apocalypse had legitmate critism of it.I feel he,singer,and donner realized
they got away a bit from what works in the X-Men films so this is good news.

 

[psyonic]

Well at least Kinberg knows what went wrong in X3 and Apocalypse. Got to give him a bit of credit for that.

As long as he knows how to approach future movies I'm okay with that. If the next movie still fails, then directing is not for him.

Good way of looking at it.

 

[sleekstereo]

So Exiles is the television show?

 

[marvelrobbins]

Hoult is saying he thinks he is in supernova
