Frozen Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 15 minutes ago, John Marston said: Reboot is happening 100%. Dark Phoenix will be the finale of the Fox series I think a total reboot would be a bad idea. Fox has spent almost 20 years developing the X Men franchise. Recasting some of those iconic roles and trying to make new films might not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them maybe trying to get Stewart and Jackman back though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day a reboot under Marvel could be way more lucrative. The problem with Xmen is Marvel have gone out of their way to erase their appeal to children and younger audiences (no merch, no cartoons, no video games, no ads for all those non-movie things means less exposure). A total franchise reboot from every avenue including the films could be gigantic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lucky that I was just voicing my displeasure and not giving a command to the FTC. Imagine they follow through. So awkward.

It'd be #10 in the MCU, after that is Logan at 620 which is lower than Iron Man 2, heck out of 10 X-men movies 6 didn't crack 500mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine will be hard to replace, as will some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Fortunately recasting characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Beast, Angel and Ice Man will be much easier for Marvel. I imagine a rebooted MCU X-Men would focus on the original X-Men team from the comics. Edited April 13, 2018 by Darth Lehnsherr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I would not be surprised at all to see a reboot. Now that Hugh Jackman's gone it simply does not have the appeal. The numbers speak for themselves. Apocalypse made less than Logan, that should probably tell you something. and @AJG you're quite right the tone and marketing is more serious than the MCU films which I don't think does it any favours.

Lordmandeep Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Why would they stop a movie studio from merging? Having many different movie studios to make a different kind of films is not the governments responsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
