Fox says a lot more 'X-Men' on the way

Gavin Hood's upcoming "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is just one of many future "X-Men" films 20th Century Fox is currently developing.

According to Variety, the studio is also planning "X-Men: First Class," a potential new series of flicks with a focus on a bunch of younger mutants.

Any other details are kept under wraps for now, but the trade says the film and its possible sequels may follow some of the younger characters introduced in the previous films.

Josh Schwartz, creator of television's "The O.C.," "Gossip Girl" and "Chuck," is on board to write the script for "First Class." I guess that could mean we'll see a lot of teenage drama in the film, right?

Anyway, the last "X-Men" installment was Brett Ratner's "X-Men: The Last Stand," which grossed $234.3 million in 2006. "Wolverine" is due in theaters May 1, 2009, while Fox is also working on a spinoff based on the character Magneto.

I'm certainly all excited about "Wolverine" with Hugh Jackman returning in the lead, but I'm wondering how far Fox wil end up going with these films. It sounds like they have big plans for this franchise, but I am not sue whether people will want to go see "X-Men" movies forever.

What's your take on more "X-Men" on the big screen? Are you up to it? Sound off just below.

I really want to see a Storm spin-off movie just because she's my favorite character. And I really don't care if Halle Berry does it or not. I just want to see it. I also would like to see Psylocke portrayed better.

I want to also see a Storm movie, just because her powers are pretty awesome.
Also, i'd be interested in movies based on Cable and Deadpool.
The idea for an X-Men teen series doesn't appeal to me. They really need to continue making more X-Men movies, I want to see the Age of Apocalypse used as story for two or three X-Men movies.
