X-Men Days of Future Past is still months away from hitting theaters, and the sequel has already been announced. X-Men Apocalypse is scheduled for 2016. Could X-Force and Deadpool movie tie-ins follow?
X-Men director Bryan Singer recently shocked the world with one simple tweet:
“#Xmen #Apocalypse 2016!”
This news surprised many fans considering X-Men Days of Future Past is still reportedly in reshoots.
Hitman director Daniel Alter has been tweeting possible spoilers for the new film:
"@NikkiFinke: Bryan Singer Announces New 'X-Men' Movie for 2016" Which probably sets up shared universe with #xforce / #deadpool.”
"@NotoriousJLD: X-MEN: APOCALYPSE coming in 2016 per @BryanSinger ... no word from Fox yet." Smart move. Fox is building their #marvel U.”
Could this mean that we might finally get to see the long-awaited Deadpool movie?
One thing is for sure and that is Hugh Jackman won’t have any problem reprising his role as Wolverine. Jackman, who has played the role for an impressive seven films now, recently told Daily News that he doesn’t plan on giving up the role anytime soon:
"I love this character, and I never take for granted the opportunity I have to play what I think is one of the cooler, more interesting, multilayered comic book characters, particularly with this one I have wanted to do the story. At some point my body will give up, but right now I'm enjoying it more than ever."
Wolverine plays a major part in the new film, as Bryan Singer explained to Empire:
"It's about figuring your rules and sticking to them. The principle I looked at is this theory that until an object is observed, it hasn't really happened yet. The time-traveller whose consciousness travels through time I call The Observer, and until The Observer returns to where he travelled from, the result hasn't occurred yet. So he can muck about in the past and it isn't until he snaps back that the new future is set. As a result, we're able to have parallel action, and there's an underlying tension because there's always that threat Wolverine's consciousness could return and leave the world in an even darker place."
