X-Men Film Franchise

That's not a part of the MCU, dude.

Also: the trailer was meh. I feel like Bryan Singer's out of ideas at this point.

 

This is the Thread YOU ARE LOOKING FOR as X men is not part of the MCU so could you repost the video here THANK YOU

 

It's a matter of Fox not wanting to sell. I don't think they will ever willingly sell the X-Men movie rights, given how well they're doing. A partnership seems more likely, but that's a ways down the road.

The Fantastic Four rights, however, won't stay at Fox much longer.

 

It all made sense at the time but got way out of hand. As a 90's X-Men Comics fan, Wolverine was everywhere. And the rest of the team had gotten pretty stale, and the stories were ridiculous. But through the late 90's and up through Origins, Wolverine carried the property on his back until Morrison and then Whedon got them back on track.

So, the XCU was built during a time when X-Men who weren't Wolverine were "boring", "bland", "stiff" and at a time were movies were growing out of the indie craze of the 90's and everything was moving away from Shumacher-ville and towards a more realistic style. Wolverine slid right into that model perfectly. Even if Halle Berry hadn't phoned in her performance and stuck with one accent, and was given a real story-line, I can't imagine early century audiences ever buying into a character like Storm.

But now a decade and a half later, we are more accepting of a wide variety of powered characters. First Class was supposed to fix that wolerine-centric problem that they'd been stuck with since the first film and Jackman's breakout success. And they did it well. But Singer had to go and muck it all up again with DoFP. They should have stayed in the 60s with the characters they had built, but instead that killed a few off, sidelined Havoc, brought back Wolvie, and tried to go for a best of both worlds. And while the movie was fine, it killed all that positive momentum they had going after First Class.

I'm not loving the new trailers for Apocolypse so far. But I love Isaac. Munn looks good for Psylocke. And embracing the core original X-Men is a good chance to start fresh again. But it looks really overstuffed. And coming off the less than friendly critical reception for BvS, the last thing you want to do is be negatively compared in the same vein. As the clear third in line of the big SuperHero on SuperHero battles this summer, they will want word of mouth in their favor or risk getting ASM2'd or F4'd out of a big hit, while other movies steamroll over them.
