According to The Hollywood Reporter director Bryan Singer is considering a return to Fox for another installment of the X-Men movies, which I’d imagine would be pretty much welcomed by fans. Singer, who made his name with the wonderfully convoluted noir-esque Usual Suspects, delivered the first two X-Men movies which proved successful with fans, critics and, crucially, with a wider, non comics audience too (something Marvel-based movies have been consistently rather good at in recent years), while the later third X-Men and Wolverine movies which he wasn’t at the helm for didn’t come up to the same standard. There’s nothing concrete right now, but THR reports that Singer has been in discussions with 20th Century Fox over a return to the world of the X-Men, so I guess we’ll just need to keep our eyes peeled.
