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.
