And they can try and go with the original actor who was slated to be cast, but rejected the role:

Some news:

stingermck bumping every X-Men thread.

I knew i was going to get called out, but look at all that info!

Whoo-hoo!!!!

Sounds good.

yay

Whatever.

So that's three X-Men projects supposedly in development, none of them a sequel to the existing series...I'm thinking Fox has no idea what to do with this franchise.

That said, this one shows the most promise.

Nice contribution. And threadcrapping.

I think Wolverine 2 has better potential given now the kinks can be worked out. I'm not holding out for a better film (although I'm in the minority that enjoyed Origins), but this First Class route has me ho-hum. I'm also not really amped with Singer directing it again. He obviously did a decent job helming the first two films but what more can he add?

X-Men is my favorite comic book property but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the films are getting stale. Until Fox loses the rights and they revert back to Marvel I won't be pumped for another film unless somehow this happens to blow me out of the water. I'll follow development and see what happens.

This is great news! Wonder what Warner Bros. will do with Superman now that Singer is working on X-Men.

I'm looking forward to this especially since Josh Schwartz is penning the script. The guy is a Pop Culture geek judging by his work on Chuck, Gossip Girl and The OC and I think he will bring a fresh spin to this franchise.

Singer coming back to work with FOX and the Producers of X-Men is Icing on the cake.

Same thing for the last 3 years. Nothing

So his opinion is somehow less valid that someone who just says "Whoo-hoo!!!!", "yay", or "Sounds good"?

I guess you at least provided a link.

Any chance he could "re-imagine" X-Men: The Last Stand and finish what he started?

Agreed. Schwartz

Singer: "Clear!"

And I liked all the X-Men movies so far.

I'm confirming I don't care.

Seriously, I really don't want to see a movie like this. Maybe, if they could do it right. But something tells me this is going to be The OC with mutants.

Yes, it is less valid. Is he or she going to post "Whatever" in every thread they doesn't give a shit about? How about elaborating why they don't care, at the very least. Like KillerCannibal did above.

But that's not required for anyone posting an equally vague (possibly even ironic) word of enthusiasm?

Seriously? You are actually defending this?? I would just assume that if someone doesn't respond to a thread, they don't care or aren't interested. The "whatever" is like pissing on our party. The people who ARE excited and looking forward to this.

If you say so. I just don't see how agreeing with you with no details is acceptable but disagreeing with no details is threadcrapping. It's a thread about the project. The project elicits responses. They're all valid.

I don't follow the comics at all so will this one feature more of the same mutants that have been in the previous movies or all new ones from the comics?
