The Mutants Won’t Stop Mutating


According to Total Film via Ain’t it Cool* there are a vast array of X-Men related movies in the works.
MovieCake would like to ask old Hollywood studios to calm down for a minute and consider the projects they already have in the works regarding X-Men and X-Men alone.  Not including the other Marvel cinematic titles that are already in pre-prodcution: Spiderman, Thor, Captain America, the Avengers.  If wasn’t enough they thought they would milk it some more out of the Marvel cow.  Why not hey?

The X-Men related titles in the works so far are Matthew Vaughn’s  X-Men- First Class, Duncan Jones’ Wolverine 2 and Anonymous’ Deadpool.  And now the executives at Fox** said they’d love an X-Men 4 & 5 to carry on from Brett Ratner’s X3.  Oh yeah, and Vaughn has said he’d do a sequel to First Class, as well as a prequel, which Fox loved too.

So that’s a potential 3 more movies for the X franchise alone.  Not that it’s a bad thing.  Not one of the X movies have disappointed so far and not one of the Marvel movies have either (well, except Hulk and Elektra).  Do we really need all of these though?  I love the comic adaptations more than my girlfriend would allow me to admit but I have that warm guilty sensation that these loves for comic to screen movies are going to implode and become disasters.

We shall see movie fans, we shall see.

*We get desperate for sources okay!?
**Surprised? Really!?
