However , Dark Phoenixproducer Hutch Parker toldComicBook.comduring WonderCon at Anaheim over the weekend that theX - Menfilm series is n’t ending because of Disney and Fox ’s deal . Instead , the upcoming film simply"became a sort of raw culmination"of the beloved comical book movie saga .

“ You jazz , we did , not for the reasons that would seem to be the case now , but in the sense that we feel like we were completing sure aroused arguments . We were fill in sure aroused ideas . And in trying to take the account further , it dictate we make certain choices from which we could n’t amount back . You fuck , Raven ’s death , sure option that , I guess for me , one of the challenges of doing the continuation to a enfranchisement is how do you keep it fresh ? How do you keep pushing onward ? And I think too often we treat the solid ground is we wreak it good and we do n’t make movies that are as interesting as they should be . ”

“ So we tried to free ourselves from that vacillation this time and kind of have it fly . And so in its own fashion , that became a form of natural culmination .

Marvel Studios has been florist’s chrysanthemum about their plans for the mutants , as well as the Fantastic Four and Deadpool , but Chief Executive Kevin Feige has been vocal about stargaze of bringing all these Marvel characters together under one roof . Initial theme claim thatonly Ryan Reynolds’Deadpoolfranchise will be impart over to Disney .   The idea of him joining the MCU , however , is still undecipherable thus far think his R - grade motion-picture show . At this point , it ’s safe to say that Marvel Studios is leaning more on boot the mainX - Mensaga than adapting its rather convoluted timeline . What ’s most disappointing in all this is that Fox has almost always sail through their casting and it would be a bummer to see the likes of McAvoy and Fassbender , as well as fresh actors such as   Alexandra Shipp ( Storm ) and Evan Peters ( Quicksilver ) who are doing well with their respective roles go .

Considering how the prequel films take place every 10 geezerhood starting with Matthew Vaughn’sX - Men : First Classin the ' 60s , the current timeline is set to collide with the original series havingDark Phoenixset in 1992 . The firstX - Menfilm with Patrick Stewart ’s Professor X , Ian McKellen ’s Magneto , Rebecca Romijin ’s Mystique , Halley Berry ’s Storm and Famke Janssen ’s Jean Grey was in 2000 . The problem is , it does n’t experience like the on-going movies are progress towards that . So , if Fox was to continue making these film , they would more in all probability have to ignore the originalX - Mentrilogy .
