20th Century Fox “Marvel Consultant” Mark Millar recently spoke about his experience with THE WOLVERINE, telling SciFiNow “When I got this job they’d started shooting a couple of weeks, but the screenplay to The Wolverine is really, really terrific – I’m really, really delighted with it. Obviously the casting’s all be really good, the director’s brilliant – James Mangold.”
Hugh Jackman has appeared in every X-Men film to date, but Millar stresses that it’s important to not oversaturate specific the market with specific characters:
“You don’t want to have [Wolverine] out there all the time, because I think if you’ve got him in X-Men and Wolverine movies and they’re all running at the same time, it’s a little bit too much but as long as you’re smart with it and there’s a lot of other characters to explore as well. The X-Men universe is about the same size as the Marvel universe in terms of the number of titles it sustains at any one time, so there’s a ton of stuff to play with there and a lot of characters I’d like to explore there too.”
“It’s incredibly exciting. Even just as a fan.” says Millar about the upcoming X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. “The first X-Men really launched the wave of superhero movies we’ve been loving for the past decade after some horrific stuff in the Nineties so having him back in the world he started just feels right. X2, I think, is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. The idea of this guy [Singer] being back in the fold and planning something as ambitious as this picture can only be good news.”
Millar then expresses no worries in how the film is being handled, despite the heavy mythology. “I think as long as it’s done right. I know how it’s done, so I’m not worried. I’ve been in all these meetings and talked about it at length with everyone, and everything I hear sounds incredibly mainstream. It’s no more difficult than The Terminator, or whatever, there’s one element of time jump in it, but other than that it’s absolutely fine.
“It’s hard for me to say without actually spoiling the movie, but [producer Matthew] Vaughn – the guy who made the $28 million Kick-Ass look like a $78 million movie, you know? – I completely trust him when it comes to stuff like that – he knows exactly what he’s doing, and Simon Kinberg [X-Men: The Last Stand, Sherlock Holmes writer] has actually done a phenomenal job on the screenplay with him so it’s worked out really well.”

Ok well in that case let the syfy-movies/Shows BEGIN!!!
When he is probably right… on the other hand. The coolest scene in FIRST CLASS was that cameo… Wolverine has a fascination other characters simply have not.
It’s like Iron Man for the Avengers… Thor, Captain America, Hulk sucked, lacking the charisma.
Hulk is a cool character. Leave him alone.
I would love to see a Alpha Flight movie.
Alpha and this Chick Dominos 2 in X4 or X-men future past to See Jubilee Scarlett Witch, Alpha and Domino coz is still alive Magneto when Beast injected with a cure he powers and he has i little bit of he,s powers coz he try to move the Jazz with hes hand so Magneto is in on X4 and probably is helping him Senator or this Clown o that’s right Mr Sinister could be in X4 helping to he’s budy Magneto obiosly sure but my god is to lots of them and i didn’t know it could Exist the U-Men and the Apocalipse has hes Friends Villains so is a lots of them for sure ho men i thing this X-men film is like this movie series of Starwars i think so coz is the whole world out there of Mutants all one of the different kind Villains and Mutants and Warriors Mutants so is totaly Impressed and GUaaaww this website i m talking about:

Has anyone read the article about how the writers wanted X3 to end?
Some guy commented that they could re do the film, much like the Incredible Hulk.
The writers, That film had no writers.
i don’t think X-men 3 are the final movie Marvel Fan coz Magneto is alive with a little bit of he’s powers and is done the Movie of X-men 3 for X-men 4 speccialy for Magneto and prof Xavier coz he Xavier when in Comma in the Hospital with moira and Magneto He still has a little bit of hes powers so is going to make the X-men 4 when we are excited or not is done the Film of X-men for X-men 4 so marvel Fan coz they has the X3 prepered for X-men4 yeap no debut so i catch the whole story both guys are alive so Magneto then Xavier Magneto for a little bit of He’s powers and Prof is alive and in Coma o yes there’s got to be and X-men 4 yeap is the law cos X-men 3 took prepered lots a space for X-men 4 for Magneto and Xavier so there you go.
so in a short words Magneto is alive and Xavier is in comma in the Hospital and When magneto are in the Park playing jazz in X3 intented to move the game with hes powers and he moved the peace with he’s powers so that mean’s is got to be X-men 4 for lots of reazons one Xavier is alive and Magneto to so there you go and they left place i mean left place i mean is ready to producing the four movie of and for X-men4 o yes C guys you got to c again both movies the second and third for for you to know that there is a places for X4 and they prepered place for X-men 4.
so is impossible to ended up the movies of X-men Universe for what did i explained in side of a movies of X-men films o yes and parton me if a put to many post im sorry
