Newer cast members of the X-Men film franchise are already in line for a fourth film, according to executive producer Lauren Shuler Donner. However, veteran, big name actors have yet to enter negotiations, she says.

"The newer cast members are signed, and the older cast members are not," she told the L.A. Daily News. Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijn, Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Anna Paquin would all have a chance to ask for more money.

However, Donner is focused now on the Wolverine and Magneto stand-alone movies. "Next, we're going to do 'Wolverine,' but not before the end of the year because he's in the Baz Luhrmann film," Donner said. However, "We have the script and are working on it."

Shuler Donner reports, "We also have 'Young Magneto' in development."
