Ever sinceX - Men : Days of Future Pastestablished three different timeline ( the Sentinel War alternating future , First Classcontinuity of the ' 70s and a rebooted penny-pinching - futurity based on the Original Trilogy persistence ) , lover have been waiting to see howX - Men : Apocalypsewill handle the go on tale of theFirst Classcharacters , in a potentially new revise of the OT timeline . How solo celluloid likeDeadpool , GambitandWolverine 3fit into that moving-picture show has been even more of a mystery .
Well today brings news program that could add either some much - want explanation to the word , or another bed of confusion ( depending on who you are ): the X - Men movie could soon be getting another reboot .
This RUMOR comes from net goop man El Mayimbe , who posted the following :

A New Start
This is all just RUMOR of course , but let ’s ill-treat back and wait at the breadcrumb lying around the tabular array :
take all those rat together with El Mayimbe ’s rumor , it would seem like the penning has been on the bulwark for a while . Anecdotal fib like howFirst ClassandKingsmandirectorMatthew Vaughn want to re - shake off Wolverine forDoFPonly furthers the notion that there is indeed creative motive to have a new quip at the X - Men movie universe .
doubt is : How do fans sense about it ?
Success Without Marvel?
We ’ve already written extensively about why WE thinkcrossovers with all Marvel superheroes ( regardless of studio ) are inevitable . Since that time , Sony has acquiesced and shared Spider - Man with Marvel , but hug drug - Men and Fox have had no such deal ( that we know of ) . In fact , Marvel has reportedly go so far as to play down mirthful Holy Writ and product establish on Fox’sX - MenandFantastic Fourproperties , so as not to promote those films . That ’s spite , not cooperation .
But IF Fox does reboot the 10 - Men picture show universe ( as augury listed above bespeak ) , then is there a point to reinvent itself as a larger apportion macrocosm , WITHOUT bridging the disruption with Marvel Studios ? In reality ( and not to be indecisive ) , there is a " yes " AND " no " answer that both apply .
From a business standpoint , it ’s not crazy for Fox to believe that no , they do n’t ask to partner with Marvel Studios . Unlike Spider - Man , Fox owns enough characters ( between all the X - Men mutation and Fantastic Four independent and supporting characters ) to fill up a two - moving-picture show - a - class slate for years to come - without ever run dry on material or overusing their actors / marrow character reference . The 10 - Men street corner of Marvel Comics was always big enough to confirm many teams ( hug drug - Men , X - Force , New Mutants , X - Factor ) , solo characters ( Wolverine , Deadpool , Gambit , Cable ) and crossover effect ( " Age of Apocalypse , " " Onslaught , " " Messiah Complex / War , " " X - Tinction Agenda " ) ; and the pic can do exactly the same affair . Each of those type and teams could have sequel , and the outcome films could be two - part stories , so really there ’s a Marvel Cinematic Mutant Universe just waiting to be established .

However , from afanstandpoint , the already established authority of the Marvel Studios brand - plusthe getting even of Spider - Man to Marvel ’s hands- makes it progressively grueling to argue for Fox holding onto its dimension solely , separated from the bombastic Marvel Universe . Personally talk , neither my 5 - year - old nephew nor 30 - something friend ( a very casual sports fan ) can understand why Wolverine and Captain America ca n’t fight together ( or the studio dally together ) . In fact , the more casual the onlooker , the hard it is to rationalize the sound division which create derisory situations like not using code name or comic Quran origin stories forScarlet Witch and Quicksilver inAvengers 2 . For hardcore lover , they ’ve need a complete MCU since day one , often call in for the ten - Men right to regress back to Marvel . With Fox oblige a treasure trove of fiber and dealership in their mitt , that ’s definitely not going to bechance ; so another sharing office is the most potential via media on the table .
So for Fox , the stakes are clear : they involve to put out bigger and good disco biscuit - Men ( and to less extentF4 ) picture show - ones that can get the better of any and all branding problems to reach that billion - dollar German mark ( or close to it ) . IF they can do that ( big if ) , then they are sustainable as an independent cinematic population , hands down . But if this novel crack at an X - Men cinematic universe did n’t do those magnanimous numbers , we ’d be back to square one : try the loud cry for Marvel Studios to take cathexis . A jaded cynic might ask how much a company has to spend for they live with the inevitable .
