Oh, good capitalism...

[Steve Henderson]

According to a recent story, Fox Head Tom Rothman has confirmed (http://www.themovieblog.com/archives/2006/01/fox_confirms_xmen_4.html) there will be an X-Men 4, and possibly many more films in the franchise.

[theredline]

I couldn't imagine they would quit at three...too much money to be had...

[UltimoScenester]

They could do another series but they have to bring back Nightcrawler and bring in Gambit.

[furynine]

theyve always hinted that it was the last movie in a trilogy. so, an X4 movie doesnt surprise me in the least. especially with all the characters they introduced in X3 and BARELY used

[jynxedheart]

yeah, they need to make up for how absolutely horrible the new flick was. i mean, i dont want to get too into the points that brought it to its demise but, any chance to dig them out would be commended.

[waggy]

old news. check out the date of the article. they'll make a real announcement sometime this summer.

[blimpcityhero11]

Ehh we'll see what happens..I enjoyed The Last Stand, but I found myself rolling my eyes at the horrendous acting at times. Not too mention the Phoenix storyline should not be confined to an hour and 47 minutes. I don't think they made smart storyline decisions at all with several of the key characters that most of you already know about. It was a good movie for the amount of time they were given to make it, but doesn't hold up to X-men or X2. It'll do well financially with no competition until Cars on the 9th, but a disappointment as a movie if you ask me. The money will be enough for Fox to make another one, but who knows if it will even be worth it as the headliners in the series probably won't want to come back unless they somehow get Singer back.

[TheByrus]

fantastic.


another shitty movie to look forward to.

[fromwithin]

old news. check out the date of the article. they'll make a real announcement sometime this summer.

seriously. its from january 26th. get a clue.

[Steve Henderson]

I think it would be awesome if they did the Fatal Attractions/Age of Apocalypse storyline...that would be so badass.

[Steve Henderson]

seriously. its from january 26th. get a clue.Easy there, killer...obviously a lot of people did not know this. I just saw it surface on digg.

[PJ1336]

i dont understand how anyone can complain about more x-men movies. compared to the rest of the recent onslaught of comic book based movies, the x-men series has clearly been at the top of the game. all 3 of the movies released so far were extremely entertaining, and in all honesty, to limit the series to 3 films would not only be unfortunate, but it would be selling the fans short by depriving them of a big budget, well produced adaptation of some truly amazing story lines. clearly people would still want them, i mean i went to a midnight showing for x3 the day it came out and there was such a huge response that the theatre not only had a 12 oclock show, but subsequent shows at 12:15, 12:30, 12:45, 1, 1:15, and 1:30...and that's for a fucking midnight show, not to mention the mobscene later on for the normal opening showtimes.

[Spooky]

i dunno if this'll work. They introduced a bunch of new characters, but lost a bunch of majors ones as well. Plus there's no guarantee actors would return after this one. If it pans out i guess it could be cool though.

[MusicOrMisery]

After the end of the Last Stand they couldn't really leave it there. However it'll be interesting to see how they go on without 3 (well, 2) main characters.

Some kind of storyline with Sentinels would be pretty awesome, maybe introducing other characters, however one of things I did like about the X-Men films is they were never THAT farfetched.

[HungJury]

I have never seen any of these or the cartoon or whatever it was. I'm out of it.

[Panic!]

all i know is that if nightcrawler and gambit aren't going to be a part of the fourth movie then all hell will break loose(sp?)

[DemolitionLover]

Well there is the Wolveriene movie they plan on making. I think about his origins or something, should be good.

[Adeniz19]

hopefully the danger room was some foreshadowing of what the 4th will be.... sentinels!!

[Becca]

I Want Dazzler In At Least One Of These Movies.

[Jamie Pham]

i hope they will be just as good as the last one

[leftstranded]

i'm quite excited about this

[Waltz Whitman]

it made 120 million over the 4 day weekend. there will be another one. im guessing the next few will be the apocalypse storyline.

[crit]

did anyone watch after the credits, it hints at a main character possibly coming back

yeah, when i saw that i knew there just had to be another movie. they wouldn't have put that at the end is there wasn't another one coming.

[bigempty]

makes perfect sense..

[A picasso blue]

the 4th one better have:

a) Sentinels
b) Apocalypse

and the comparison to LOTR was dumb. because that was the final end of all the characters

[A picasso blue]

oh wait the article makes that point itself..

[Steve Henderson]

the 4th one better have:

a) Sentinels
b) Apocalypse

and the comparison to LOTR was dumb. because that was the final end of all the characters
I could go for some:

1) Omega Red
2) Apocalypse/Onslaught
3) Gambit

[A picasso blue]

I could go for some:

1) Omega Red
2) Apocalypse/Onslaught
3) Gambit
well i was thnking if they put in Apocalypse, it sets the whole thing up for a very different story (not like how the first three are mutants vs. humans)

Gambit would be nice addition too. he's basically the whole reason that Rogue doesnt commit suicide. its something like he makes energy and rogue takes it, so touching her doesnt hurt him

[oxfordqueef]

sweet. I've seen this movie 3 times now. I love it.

[livelovecrydie]

X3 was a big step down from X2, though it did have its moments.

all the one-liners in the third one were so cheesy... the dialogue sucked but the action was of course good. the first two had good action AND dialogue.

[A picasso blue]

whos Omega Red? i havent read the comics in years

[raine8181]

If they're as shitty as the 3rd one then they can keep em'....unless of course Gambit's in it...then I'm in...

[raine8181]

i hope they will be just as good as the last one

Please tell me you're joking...I've seen better dialogue in Dolph Lundgren movies...

[unwritten]

Legion Quest/Age of Apocalypse would be amazing if done correctly.

[theESCO]

Batman > X-Men

[unwritten]

Batman > X-Men

I agree, but some X-men storylines are superb.

[As Derrick Rust]

I doubt we'll ever see anything like Apocalypse or Onslaught. They've kept the stories mild. Nothing too crazy that would scare away people that weren't fans of the books. I bet it'll be about the sentinels and maybe another Villan.

Did Magneto move the chess piece at the end or not?

[Steve Henderson]

whos Omega Red? i havent read the comics in yearshttp://www.slateman.net/sf/art/mvc2/series1/omegared.jpg

[WarpSpeedChewy]

It was stupid that they called it the last movie. Even more stupid was they called it a trilogy and that it had all been planned to be 3-movie story which wasn't true.

Anyway I hope there's some chance that Bryan Singer will do another X-Men movie but FOX will probably settle with Ratner again.

[Jonathan London]

As long as they learned from the huge mistakes in X3, I'm game for as many X films as they wanna throw at us.

[irishpunk14]

They need to stop making them.

[isleepwitharmor]

I was under the impression, from what I've heard from others, that the reason Gambit was not involved in the 3 movies made up to now was copyright laws? Something about him relating and looking very, very similar to another character in another movie...

I don't know which movie or character he relates to, does anyone?

[SydBarrett 420]

Why bother? Brett Ratner basically destroyed everything Brian Singer accomplished in the first two movies

[As Derrick Rust]

Gambit is not in the movies because he is too much like Wolverine character wise.

[SydBarrett 420]

Gambit is not in the movies because he is too much like Wolverine character wise.

Thats bullshit. Gambit was listed on Stryker's file in X:2 and he was cast in X3, but the guy from LOST who was supposed to play him backed out so they 86'd the character

[matt_rawlings]

How the fuck can they make a sequel to three after all that happened in three, not to give anything away?

[DivisionStreet]

Gambit is not in the movies because he is too much like Wolverine character wise.

Yeah, I heard that two right before X2 came out. I can see their point, yet I think that Wolverine and Gambit have always complemented eachother quite well. Gambit's abilities would be great to see in live adaptation in my opinion. But...who would play him the best? My vote is Heath Ledger. He is really good at different accents (Lords of Dogtown, Brokeback Mntn.) and I don't think they would have a problem making him look the part.

[xdrummerxdudex]

bring omega red, jubilee, gambit and apocolypse and i'll be satisfied.

[and the volcano]

who from lost was suppose to play gambit?

[knibl]

i dunno if this'll work. They introduced a bunch of new characters, but lost a bunch of majors ones as well. Plus there's no guarantee actors would return after this one. If it pans out i guess it could be cool though.


i really didn't like the loss of some of the characters. it really bummed me out...

[mht]

x men wishes they had a cast of actors as good as the ones in the sin city trilogy.

which is why sin city movies > x men movies.

[As Derrick Rust]

Sin City wasn't that good.

[mht]

Sin City wasn't that good.


either was x men 3. you have to understand sin city, its hit or miss if you know anything frank miller.

x men is suppose target a bigger fan base. but they are obviously having casting troubles if they cant get characters to stay or they lose them (nightcrawler) or cant even get a freaking guy from a tv series (lost) to play gambit. thats pretty pathetic for entertainment.

[Low Level Owl]

x men wishes they had a cast of actors as good as the ones in the sin city trilogy.

which is why sin city movies > x men movies.
you mean sin city movie not movies. for all you know, the next one could suck as they introduce more characters.

As for x men, I liked the 3rd one. I'm not really up to date on the stories so i guess i'm not qualified to say how good it is one way or the other. i thought it was entertaining and i guess i didnt pay much attention to the acting or one liners (i actually laughed at a few). Does anyone know where I can watch the old x men cartoon? that used to be one of my favorites back in the day.

[RegularMax]

According to a recent story, Fox Head Tom Rothman has confirmed (http://www.themovieblog.com/archives/2006/01/fox_confirms_xmen_4.html) there will be an X-Men 4, and possibly many more films in the franchise.

Not sure if anyone said this already, but there are going to be 7 X-men movies total, so the news of an X-Men 4 was no surprise.

well unlike x men, sin city is gonna poor 30 new characters on you and give them 3 lines a piece with no development. and i guess your not much of a sin city fan to know they are using the same actors/actresses and characters in number two. just different stories inside eachother like the first. so for all i know the next sin city has a better chance of not shitting the bed like x men 3 did, for me at least.

[sirrie]

who from lost was suppose to play gambit?

The guy who plays sawyer. gosh he would of been perfect. no idea why he didnt though but i heard it might of had something to do with his character on lost being too similar to gambit.

[Waltz Whitman]

that was the reason he stated.

[grimis16]

i want to see apocolypse and/or sinister for the bad guys, and for the good guys....Gambit and Cable

[Nolessthanblink]

Or they could completely reboot the series like they did with Batman... but that'd be odd cause they have the PERFECT cast now I think... except for the fact that they made cylcops look like a COMPLETE pussy

[TBSguitar]

i thought that x-men 3 was pretty damn great, it doesnt top number 2 but i think it tops number one, my only complaint was not enough usage of colussus(sp?) and angel or whatever (i'm a dc man). i thought the acting was great and the script worked very well. i think people that diss are just doing it because it's brett ratner and not bryan singer, even though brett ratner is a great director as well, i mean red dragon was amazing and i'm extremely looking forward to the next x-men.

[ever so sweet20]

hell yes. nightcrawler must be brought back.

[cooltoy]

Plain and simple, if you really love the x-men then you wont give a shit if any more movies come out/who directs them. Granted i would be bummed if people like Jackman and Berry didnt come back and got replaced but regradless i would still love the movies because im a fan of the series and comics.

Im a huge fan of the crow series and it has only progressively gotten worse and worse as far as movies go, but im a fan so i still buy the dvds and watch them even though i know there is a shit ton of acting lessons and directorial lessons needed.

They made like eleventeen jason movies, why get all upset about i 4th x-men movie. Sheesh people.

[KnoWs My NaMe]

If you stayed for the 20 second clip after the movie then you'd have to assume there will be more to follow this one, trust me I work at a movie theater and I've seen it many times already. The series definetly will continue.

X-Men is hot now and why would you pass down the oppurtunity to make millions of more dollars. It should be interesting seeing what they do with the storyline. I'd also like to see if they can get Halle Berry to do another one seeing as it took a lot to gte here to do the latest one.

[bRainDeAdMonKeY]

36 times. The amount of times i said "Halle Berry, please shut the hell up." to my friend during the movie.. Just thought I'd share

Plain and simple, if you really love the x-men then you wont give a shit if any more movies come out/who directs them.
Thats like saying "If you really love Metallica, or any other band, then you wont give a shit if any more albums come out/whose in the band." No! It's the exact opposite bro!

I love comics and i dig the X-Men, so therefore i do give a fuck how they are represented on the film screen. I make conscious efforts to act far from the generic snobbish "Comic Book Guy" fanboy, but I and many people me like have grown up reading and still read the graphic novels. We have an emotional attachment to the characters. Just like cats have an emotional attachment to a band's they've been listening to since childhood. And just like they'd get pissed if that band sold out, I get pissed when these characters are protrayed in a wrong light.

[bRainDeAdMonKeY]

whos Omega Red? i havent read the comics in years

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Red

Omega Red (Arkady Rossovich) is a comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe and a foe of the X-Men. His first appearance was X-Men (vol. 2) #4 (1992).

A mutant, Rossovich possessed the ability to siphon the life-force of others. The Soviet counterpart to the Weapon X program of the United States and Canada turned him into a supersoldier, bonding a super strong metal alloy called "carbonadium" to his body and implanting metal tentacles, which use his life-draining abilities, into each of his arms.

Omega Red battled Weapon X subject Wolverine sometime during the Cold War, the start of a decades-long feud between the two. The Soviets eventually realized that Red was an uncontrollable psychopath and placed him in suspended animation. He has since been freed and become a world-renowned criminal and mercenary.

[desiguerilla]

i want more juggernaut man!

does he really say, "IM THE JUGGANUT BITCH" in the comics, or did they get that from that video on google vid?

[HiddenInNJ]

still plenty of characters to use especially gambit and maybe archangel.... could also use characters barely touched upon in X3

[HiddenInNJ]

He did, yes.

And it's not going to be X-Men 4 so much as spin-off movies. I believe they've got three planned... One about Woleverine, one about Mangneto and Xavier taking place from about 1955-1980 (their friendship then becomming enemies, I'd guess) and I'm not sure which the thrid will be.

ive also heard about the wolverine movie being made

[luke1236]

i love x men it makes me look back on my childhood no matter how horendous the acting is which isnt too bad but its funn to say hey they need gambet and everyone was excited to see arch-angel and shit so i can wait fo rhte next one maybe they'll haev reall sentinals in this one rather than a holagram (which by the way got my hopes up)
