Jay 37,359 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Does anyone know if Fox is planning on connecting their X-Men movies with their Fantastic Four movies, and other upcoming films? As of a few days ago, they had these films planned: 2015 Aug 7 Fantastic Four 2016 Feb 12 Deadpool May 27 X-Men Apocalypse 2017 March 3 Wolverine 3 July 14 Fantastic Four 2 2018 July 13 X-Men 8 Unscheduled X-Force Gambit Well yesterday Fox announced some new plans, namely: Gambit is coming October 7, 2016, starring Channing Tatum (Gambit was previously played by Taylor Kitsch in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) Fantastic Four 2 was moved up a few months to June 2 2017 It's interesting that in the "main" Marvel universe, Disney has been sure to keep all the characters played by the same actors through. Meanwhile at Fox, they've recast Gambit, Jubilee, and Kitty Pryde, among other smaller roles, and have messed with timelines and rebooting a bunch of things. It doesn't seem like Disney Marvel will be doing that any time soon, though their universe is a lot younger than Fox's which started in 2000, eight years before Iron Man kicked off Marvel's own verse!

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Right. The X-Men movies could be looked at as a template for the MCU franchise, about what not to do. "If a series of movies with varying degrees of continuity but big name stars and production values could be this popular, imagine what we could do with a plan! Why, we could even take the obscure and make it chic!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The first 3 X-Men films correspond rather well, but after that it all becomes a bit of a mess. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was supposed to start of a series of Origins films, but it apparently didnt make enough money, so First Class was thought of as a reboot, which then turned out not to be a reboot when DAFP went into production etc etc.You gotta hand it to Marvel, so far they have done a good job keeping the continuity up to scratch. Though at some point they will need to start recasting characters if they want to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Only if he's anything like the Remy we grew up with the 90s cartoon series. The Gambit in the Wolverine movie was nothing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,359 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 That's what I feel. The Gambit in the Wolverine movie was stupid. And while I've like Channing Tatum in other roles, he doesn't seem right for this. The 90's cartoon Gambit would be a good model to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
