[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6796432, member: 59082"] I've read a variety of rumors online about the X-Men universe, specifically where it might be going after [B]X-Men: Apocalypse[/B]. The point of this thread is to discuss what we think [I]might [/I]happen, and what you [I]want [/I]to happen. I am far from an expert fanboy on the topic, but as far as I can tell this is what we know: *There will be one more [B]Wolverine[/B] movie in 2017, and one only - at least with Hugh Jackman *[B]Apocalypse[/B] completes a trilogy that started with [B]First Class[/B] and continued with [B]Days of Future Past[/B] *[B]Apocalypse[/B] takes place in the 1980s and re-introduces younger versions of later, and classic X-Men like Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Psylocke, Nightcrawler, etc *There will also be spin-offs of [B]Deadpool[/B] and [B]Gambit[/B], both in 2016, although it remains to be seen what connection they have to the main movies or if there is any continuity with the first Wolverine movie *There have been rumors of a tv show, as well as [B]X-Force [/B]and [B]The New Mutants[/B], but nothing substantial *It also seems like [B]Days of Future Past [/B]negated [B]X2 [/B]and [B]The Last Stand [/B](which of course opens the door for a possible re-try on the Dark Phoenix saga) Feel free to add anything else. I've also heard the rumor that the whole X-Men franchise might be rebooted, possibly to be returned to Marvel's purview. The latter seems unlikely, but some kind of reboot is possible - although my guess is that it will only be a "soft" reboot, with the characters introduced in Apocalypse in the 90s and beyond, rather than a "hard" reboot and a start-over. But who knows. Assuming Apocalypse is good and the characters well represented, I for one would like to see them continue forward. My only problem with that approach is that it keeps the X-Men stuck in the past, with follow-up movies likely occurring in the 90s, given the youth of Tye Sheridan (Cyclops) and Sophie Turner (Jean Grey). Of course given that this is the X-Men, it could be that something happens that puts them in suspended animation at the end of Apocalypse, and then awakening in 2018 or whenever the next movie might come out. Or maybe they time-travel...that seems more likely. I'd like to see a tv show that would be something like Xavier's school for gifted youngsters - so akin to the New Mutants. The problem with that is you'd probably want the presence of Xavier, and unless they recast the character, I can't imagine James McAvoy doing anything more than cameos. Here's another idea. Let's say they do something similar to what I mentioned above, with the X-Men in Apocalypse going into some kind of suspended animation or a wormhole into 2018+. Meanwhile, mutants go into hiding in the 90s and 00s, but a group starts to protect and gather them, sort of a hidden school for gifted youngsters - but not led by Xavier or even Magneto.

Anyhow, it would be a great opportunity to introduce any number of mutants from the long history of the comics, and of course new ones. So the series would start in 2017 or maybe 2018, and the next movie would be a year later. Just speculating with a healthy dose of wishful thinking... [/QUOTE]
