Don't Count Whedon Out of X-Men 3
There's still some hope that Buffy creator Joss Whedon will take on the third X-Men film.
X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner told CHUD not to count out Joss Whedon as the new director of the mutant movie franchise.
"I'm a huge fan of Joss," she told the fan site. "Nothing is certain yet." Lauren says that she would still love to work with him on the film, CHUD says.
With Spider-Man director Sam Raimi saying the third film will likely be the last (if not his last), is there more to the franchise after the third film? "I don’t know. X-Men is different than Spider-Man because you have so many characters, and you have so many different stories. You could go off and do Days of Future Past. You could do Hellfire Club. There’s so much stuff you can do."
Meanwhile, Shuler Donner also said this about the Wolverine movie: "The plan is to do more of an origin story for Wolverine. The first one. If that’s successful, my deepest desire – I’m not reflecting Fox but you never know – my deepest desire is after the origin story, which David [Hayter] has worked out beautifully, it’s really good – if that works, the second one could be the Mariko, ninja story."
Also, she responded to somewhat negative early reviews of Constantine that have appeared online this past week: "It’s part of the process. We hold these screenings to get feedback. The only thing is that the movie isn’t done yet, so I hope people give it a chance. I think it’s a great film, and it’s different, in the way that The Matrix was very different. I have 100% belief in Constantine, as does Warner Bros."
