The Next X-Men Movie
First up, Simon Kinberg won’t confirm whether or not he’s directing the sequel that previously had the working title of X-Men: Supernova. However, he did confirm to Deadline that if he would make his directorial debut with the film, he would still write the script as well:
“I’ve read those reports. If I were to direct, I would certainly write. As someone who started his career as a writer then transitioned into being a writer-producer, when I make that transition into directing, I would definitely want to be the writer as well. It’s because I can’t imagine directing something that I didn’t create myself. Having made many great movies, the ones I feel the most emotionally connected to are the ones I wrote.”
It’s probably a safe bet that Kinberg will end up directing this X-Men movie, but they’re still working out the finer details of the deal. After all, Kinberg is probably pretty busy already, with so many X-Men universe movies going into production. And those includes a movie that isn’t even on the immediate horizon.
And Wolverine…
Speaking of the future, when it comes to Wolverine, Kinberg says they haven’t even thought about the next iteration of the character:
“We haven’t even thought of the next iteration of Wolverine. For all of us, we were keeping our fingers crossed that the audiences would respond to Logan the way they have. I can’t visualize in my head another Wolverine but if that day ever comes, we would talk to Hugh about it.”
That’s all the new information we have on the future of the various X-Men and mutant franchises that are in the works over the next few years. With production on the three aforementioned movies beginning this year, we’re bound to find out even more very soon.
