Superhero fans have been waiting to hear where the X-Men franchise is heading next. We know about The Wolverine spin-off starting filming this October, but what about other movies in the pipeline?
X-Men: First Class left the door open for follow-ups if 20th Century Fox chooses to continue the series. And it seems they are talking about where to take it next.
According to the
Coventry Telegraph:
We've learned that the studio is "discussing sequels internally." While there is not yet any formal announcement of a follow-up, it does show interest in continuing First Class rather than leaving it as a standalone origin tale. Executives are said to be very pleased with what Matthew Vaughn achieved with the film. It scored an 87 per cent overall rating on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes and has, to date, amassed $335million worldwide in just over four weeks on release. The budget is reported as $160million, reduced by tax concessions to about $135m, which has now been recouped from domestic (USA) earnings.
So what do you think?
