20th Century Fox’s “creative consultant for Marvel films,” Mark Millar recently opened up to Comic Book Resources about his new gig, saying the studio is hoping to expand their X-MEN cinematic universe in a similar vein to what Marvel/Disney are doing with their films.
“I flew out to LA and talked to Fox, having a days worth of meetings to hammer out ideas.” said Millar. “There’s an amazing amount of potential in the X-Men universe. It’s almost a Marvel Universe in itself in that you can build up to so many great stories and so many great characters. I hesitate to name names, but let’s say that all the ones you like and everyone you’d expect, we’ll have them. It’s insane to have the crown jewel and not expect to wear them.”
“You have to remember that Fox grabbed the X-Men back in the ’90s because it was the biggest franchise in the world. So X-Force or Cable or Deadpool — all these amazing characters are things we haven’t really gotten to yet. ‘X-Force’ #1 was the second biggest book of all time behind Jim Lee’s ‘X-Men’ #1, so there’s an immediate brand recognition to that stuff and a build in fanbase. You go to any convention in the world, and you’ll see 20 people dressed as Deadpool. In a lot of ways, these are Marvel’s coolest characters, so I want to remind people of that and build on what we already have. I think there’s a great foundation, and just from basic conversations, we’ve come up with ten movies we could do. These things cost $150 million each to make, so we have to pick and choose what we want to do.”

I do not give a dam what that stupid moron says.
Shouldn’t they let us know who those ten films are?
I know their going to choose, but rather than getting fan mail and requests about all this movies they could tell us
I updated the article with the full quote. X-Force, Cable and Deadpool seem to be on his radar.
They are not on his rader, the man is a pathological liar and a son of a bitch.
what is interestest me a lot is this director is expanding like this series of Star trek the new films of universe X-men films between Mark Miller and Bryan Singer and of corse let,s not forget the principal who is Lauren shulder dooner of corse the Producer of all times of course bring it on Ladyes
and ofcourse i forgot to put in the forum that interesting future of Anthony,s author to put this third movies of X-men staring with Deadpool,X-force,and Cable so much interesting and theres only one more Character or two to put is Scarlet Witch and this Lady Karma and the Lady Karma she would Be Milla Jovovich like Angelie Julie and Scarlet Witch she could be play her character Kath Graham the one who played Bonnie the witchy Girl the one who played in the vampire diaries it could be interesting for Scarlet Witch
