X-Men franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner told /Film, during a press junket for the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” DVD/Blu-ray release, that the other movies she wants to see happen beyond X-Men: First Class are X4 and The New Mutants.
Donner also revealed that early plans have been considered for a fourth “X-Men” film reuniting the remaining cast members from “X-Men: The Last Stand” but the idea has yet to be pitched to the studio.
She also took the opportunity to clear up the confusion surrounding what was written last week on the Twitter page of Tim Pocock, who played the young Cyclops in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Pocock apparently wrote:
Currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010…then X-men: First Class
giving rise to rumours that casting had begun and a start date for filming had been set. However, according to Shuler Donner, there’s no truth to the initial claim. She announced that the film has no scheduled start date and confirmed that no actors have signed contracts to appear in the film. No word on the “Deadpool,” “Magneto” or “Wolverine 2“.
