Get ready for more X-Men!


After director Bryan Singer mention he would be returning to the X-Men franchsise, his producer Lauren Shuler-Donner gave out some juicy details about some of the latest X-Men spinoffs:

Wolverine 2: 
"It's actually the story we wanted to use for the first Wolverine film, but Tom Rothman preferred to set the character up with an origin story first. What’s cool about this part of the saga is that Wolverine will be fighting in a different style to what we’ve seen before. Mariko’s father has this stick-like weapon, so Wolverine will have to fight against that. There’ll be samurai, ninja, katana blades, different forms of martial arts — mano-a-mano, extreme fighting."

X-Men: First Class:
"We want it to be like the recent, darker Potters. It should not be a kiddie movie: we’re in the X-Men world so you can’t suddenly change the tone. The First Class comics are really fun — they’re funnier than any other comics I’ve read. Basically in each one the kids are fighting strange villains, sometimes it’s aliens, sometimes it’s monsters. I want to get a flavour of that world."

Deadpool:
"I don’t see it as a problem that Ryan Reynolds is also playing Green Lantern. I mean, look at Harrison Ford – he was in Stars Wars and Indiana Jones at the same time and everyone was fine with that. Green Lantern could not be more different to Wade Wilson. Green Lantern is a guy who finds a ring and is thrust into this world, much like Spider-Man. Wade Wilson is a bad ass, a wise-cracking mercenary, who will go out and kill anyone for money. But the thing about him is that, underneath it all, and he wouldn’t want you to know this, sometimes he’s not such a bad ass after all."

Geez, they won't quit huh?  Well, its a good thing they won't stop continuing the X-Men series cause I'm definitely not tired of seeing Hugh Jackman in his Wolverine role and Ryan Reynolds and all those other X-men hotties in their mutan get-ups.  Bring it ON!  :)
