Following a rough patch that included films X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), it looks as though 20th Century Fox has finally righted the ship. With 2011′s X-Men: First Class and this summer’s The Wolverine, Fox has now made two straight hits as the studio hopes to expand its comic-based properties starting with next summer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past directed by Bryan Singer — the director of the series’ first two installments.

Deadpool
But even if the script is incredible (the leaked script is available online, which Reynolds has welcomed fans to read), Fox may not be open to Reynolds as a franchise lead give his recent box office bombs.

Fantastic Four Reboot
However, when it comes to whether Fantastic Four and X-Men will crossover in ways similar to Disney’s Marvel films, no one at Fox seems to have a consistent answer.

Third Wolverine Spinoff
The storyline for the film, which would see the return of Hugh Jackman in the title role, is currently being held under wraps with Lauren Shuler Donner set to produce. But given the way in which The Wolverine presented a short, after-credits scene setting up Wolverine’s presence in next summer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, we may get a better sense of the future direction of the series when the latter film is released.

Of course, the comic book based film world is much different than it was when Singer first released X-Men in 2000. At that time, Singer and Fox were credited with pushing the comic-based film genre to new heights, but most onlookers would agree that Warner Bros.’ DC Comics-based properties and Disney’s Marvel properties have both pushed ahead of Fox in the area.

But Fox is looking to change that with a series of films that seem to indicate a consistent series similar to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Here’s a list of four films based in the X-Men universe that are development at Fox and how they may be connected. Check them out after the jump.

 

X-Force
Although there hasn’t been any official word about an X-Force film from Fox, rumors have swirled for months now with more than a few facts hinting that an X-Force film is in the works — and nothing has been as conspicuous as 20th Century Fox move to register the domain name XForceMovie.com

Wow. 

 

Keep milking Wolverine.

Ugh, I am so effing sick of Wolverine. He isn't even the most powerful or interesting X-Men. How about a movie showing the true potential of the Phoenix storyline? Hell, I'd rather watch a movie about Jubilee (lol) rather than another Wolverine movie.

 

I do have high hopes for Days of Future Past, though.

Don't care about any of these movies.  A deadpool movie would bomb or would be awful with Ryan Reynolds because it took him forever to learn basic stuff for the first x-men movie.

I've never liked the other x men or wolvernine movies either.

 

The Wolverine was an alright movie, for the sole reason that it was basically a western samurai movie.

 

Other than that, I could care less about these movies.

To be honest I'm F'ing bored of these comic films and most of them are crapy or just avg.(forgettable). I miss films like The matrix, Terminator, Dark City, Minority Report, Jurassic Park , etc. I feel blockbusters nowadays are just comic films and sometimes those characters are not worthy of having their own film; their not interesting to me. Thor, Iron Man and soon Ant Man, no thank you those characters are just rehashes of something that's been done before while sacrificing quality.

Couldn't they just wait to see how Days of Future Past does? I mean, if it does bad then Fox pretty much just dug themselves a huge hole. Also a Deadpool movie would be awesome, just hope the script is good.

I highly doubt it will be a failure at the box office. First Class did well and with the new one featuring the original cast, it is sure to sell even more than the previous.
