Wolverine: Origins not only told the story of Logan, "Wolverine," but the film also introduced many X-characters that are well known in the pages of comics, but not so known in the realm of the movie goer. Audiences got to know Gambit, Emma Frost, and Deadpool to name a few; and by bringing these popular comic book characters to the big screen, the flood gates were opened and it thus allowed Fox to start thinking about how else they can cash in on the popular comic characters.
Rumors have circulated that there are several films currently in the works. Among them are Deadpool,
“There have been some preliminary discussions,” Goyer told the site. “I think, at Fox, they’re trying to decide if making a young X-Men film makes the most sense next, does making a ‘Magneto’ make the most sense next. They’re just trying to decide internally who’s next up.”A Young X-Men film does seem to make sense, but with the first two, it feels as though we have seen this story play out before. I personally feel like they can go directly into a Magneto film; the man is a legend and has already been introduced in previous X-Men films. It would also be pretty interesting to see a "House of M" film adaptation, rather than a re-telling of Magneto's relationship with Charles Xavier. In the end, it does seem like there is a lot of speculation about what film we can expect to see. What do you guys want to see? What do you personally think is the most logical film to release in terms of sequential order? I'm bracing myself for all the Deadpool fan-boys right about now...Just kidding guys. :)
