Bryan Singer to return to the X Men Franchise
Monday, February 15th, 2010
It has been revealed….at last talented Bryan Singer is to return to the X Men Franchise with X Men first Class. He revealed this to Heat Vision and emparted a little of the storyline too.
Historically Bryan Singer made his mark directing the movie X Men. He then left to make Superman Returns and his fans have been waiting for a return ever since.
He had ended up coming back to X Men after Tom Rothman (Fox co-chairman) and him concluded a deal. He refused to tell the total story but did say that the intriguing storyline will be about how the x men came to be and particularly the details of that frayed relationship between a young Xavier and Magneto.
He went on to add:
“We have always looked at different projects to do together, but the timing was never right to do something like this. But now, it’s been about 10 years since the first “X-Men,” and this is a nice opportunity to look back at the origins of that universe.”
He also concluded that he believed that the X Men universe was indeed boundless and that as young characters, the x men characters are quite different than how we have seen them in contemporary movies.
So, there you have it…..interesting times ahead. At X Men toys HQ, we are thrilled with the fact that Bryan Singer is returning as this makes for more great movies and intriguing storylines…….the challenge really is can he direct better than the original X Men movie to pull out of the hat an exceptional X Men first Class movie? tell us what you think, we would just love to know…..

Disney has now confirmed it’s $4.24 billion acquisition of Marvel entertainment with the backing of Marvel shareholders. Disney has also acquired a 10% stake in POW! Entertainment for $2.5 million. Stan Lee heads up POW! Who as we all know created those super Marvel heroes, all of those that the public love including The X Men, Fantastic Four Spider Man and many more…….Disney confirmed that they wanted to extend their relationship with Stan Lee because of his knowledge and ideas behind the Marvel characters. Stan Lee is now riding high after his 87th birthday!
What do you think of this move? How will it affect the future emergence of Marvel Characters and do you think more emphasis will now be on films? Here at the hub of x men toys, we believe that this move can only serve to enhance and widen the scope of the x men series whatever form this may be….

X Men Movie Update – X Men Magneto?
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
It would seem that the X Men Origins Magneto is quite a risky affair. As we know x men origins is all about taking a trip through memory lane to the younger lives of the x men. The childhood of Magneto is set amongst concentration camps and that his thirst for justice turned into bitterness and revenge. Could it be that this storyline is too far controversial? What do you think?
The team behind the xmen franchise are still actively looking at how they proceed forward. Currently being discussed is X Men:First class, a new breed of super heroes that will expand the x men series even further or do they continue along a path where they do the origins film with wolverine 2 or other characters such as Magneto, Storm etc…There is also talk of the deadpool spin off reemerging.
Whatever the decisions are moving forward, we would be delighted to see a two pronged attack. So, new movies such as X Men: First class alongside the web of intrigue that lies within every x men characters past? We would absolutely love to see the origins movie take the origins movie one step further to have us explore the more shadier pasts of Magneto and others and cannot wait till an official statement is released telling us which of these tantalizing tales is going to be represented on the big screen…….Watch this space for more….

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Breaking News: X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2, X-Men First Class and Deadpool : Lauren Schuler on all three – a must read!
Empire Magazine jumped at the opportunity to discuss the next x men movies with Director and producer Lauren Schuler. She shared some golden nuggets of information on X-Men Origins : Wolverine 2, X-Men, First Class, Deadpool and Magneto – all of which have been in the frame for the next movie – but which is likely to be out first?
Well, it seems that the furthest developed is the next X-Men Origins : Wolverine 2 . This focuses on the relationship between Wolverine and Mariko, the daughter of a Japanese crime lord. Hugh Jackman is headed off to Japan currently to shoot on location. She said “Wolverine will be fighting in a different style from before” and the sequel is said to include plenty of martial arts moves too. How exciting, when we heard this we couldn’t wait to see something a little different from the x men series. It certainly is a big gamble that will just add to the variety of flavours that encompasses the x men.
Lauren also touched on X-Men : First Class which will feature Professeur Xaviers School of Mutant mastery. The script is being written as we speak by Josh Schwartz. For X Men first class Bryan Singer has been rumoured to making his comeback to the X Men franchise. (more…)
