Still No Plans for X-Men 4

Source: Variety
May 30, 2006

Despite the fact that X-Men: The Last Stand pulled in about $196 million in just four days worldwide (it cost approximately $210 million to make), Marvel Studios' Avi Arad tells Variety that they are going to move forward with the two spin-off movies instead of X-Men 4:

A big second frame decline is thus likely. But with nearly $200 million in domestic grosses by next weekend a virtual lock, Fox execs won't be shedding too many tears.

More likely, they'll be talking to their partners at Marvel about the next step for the franchise, since "Last Stand" was supposed to be the final film in a trilogy.

"The first reaction, which we should discard, is here comes 'X-Men 4,'" said Marvel Studios topper Avi Arad. "We're working on 'Wolverine,' which is definitely a continuation, and we have a very interesting script about a young Magneto."

We wouldn't be surprised if Fox does indeed talk to Marvel Studios about a fourth movie considering the phenomenal numbers the third installment has already brought in. We'll keep you updated on the spin-offs and if there's any other developments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

You can bet that if the Wolverine and Magneto films make even a slight profit that Marvel will change their minds and make X-Men 4.

It's only a matter of time.

Excellent. I could not be more thrilled they are not making a Storm spin-off. I think I would like to see those 2 movies, but it won't be the same. I think it might be kind of difficult to make X-4, just because of the way the third ended.

I'm sure this will happen. Too much money being made to not continue the series..

In my opinion the second film is the best of the series.

I just watched the 1st one last night and I'll tell you, I believe The Last Stand is better then the 1st one.. X2 is still the best IMO but I really wasn't a huge fan of the 1st one. I really liek the trilogy as a whole though.

I think the Wolverine solo film that is upcoming will be the best of them all.

Jackman rules...his performance makes the character and given the right script I guarntee you he will eat through the scenes.

Wolverine is set to film in Japan over the Asian drug trade I believe.

So I guess the main Villian will be Omega Red.

Correct. I've seen the rough copy of the script.

Omega Red is in it and Wolverine switches to the Patch persona sometime during the film as well.
