Bryan Singer says he wants more 'X-Men'

Many people out there either want to see or make more "X-Men" movies, and one of the folks dying to do more is Bryan Singer, who directed the first "X-Men" and then followed up with "X2."
The Hollywood Reporter says Singer has expressed great interest in making another "X-Men" film and has already talked to 20th Century Fox about his intentions to return to the popular franchise.
"I'm still looking to possibly returning to the 'X-Men' franchise. I've been talking to Fox about it," Singer said at the Pusan International Film Festival. He said he likes to create films that enable him to discuss social issues.
With or without Singer, more "X-Men" films will be heading our way, but I admit I wouldn't mind him taking charge of one of the future projects. I loved the first film and adored "X2," but I wasn't all too fond of Brett Ratner's "X-Men: The Last Stand."
Singer skipped that one so he could direct "Superman Returns," a film I enjoyed very much. Singer recently helmed "Valkyrie."
Upcoming films in the "X-Men" franchise include "X-Men: First Class," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2," "Deadpool" and "Magneto."
So, who wants more of Singer's "X-Men"?

Bryan Singer a great director and is very talented in what he is best at, which is Drama and Suspense. But when it comes to X-Men, he scewed up the franchise all together. The fist movie had a horrible story line, eventhough, the actors were great for their role with the exception of James Masters( Scott Summers / Cyclops) and Rouge's character was way too young and half the plot was about her and not about Wolverine and the X-Men ( "X-Men is the title of the movie and not Rouge and not Wolverine"). Storm was great, but it would of been better if she had long silver hair. We could have had a sneak at Gambit's character before X-Men trilogy ended. Sabertooth's character was also very idiotic because Liev Schiber (Wolverine Origins: Sabertooth) was the better guy then what his name... The same could be said about X2- X-men United ( 1st - Stupid title, 2nd - No glimpse into other possible characters like the fist film, 3rd - teen drama in the film between Rouge and Iceman, and 4th - The whole pheonix intro to the next film makes no sense, but still compelling to the audience. All and all, the it was the death of X-Men. So may be Bryan Singer dosen't deserive all the blame here, but he could of put some more thought in doing something that would go down in film history or atleast the deticated fans of the comic book series. Bryan Singer NOT for X-Men, but great for films like Usual Suspects and the recent Valkaryie ( two great films in my all time 100 list)
