Tim Pocock

Late last year, 20th Century Fox announced it would probably develop several other "X-Men" movies in the near future, and so far, the studio has kept its promise. While "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is out on DVD and a sequel is in development, Fox is also working on "Deadpool" and "X-Men: First Class."

Concerning "First Class," actor Tim Pocock, who starred as the young Cyclops in "Wolverine," said he would reprise his role in "Class" and probably start shooting the film next year. He posted that on his Twitter account. Who knows whether it's the real Tim, so please take this with a grain of salt at the moment.

'Wolverine 2' ideas and plans for 'First Class'

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" won't hit theaters until May 1, 2009, but according to a CinemaBlend source, Fox is already making plans for a sequel.

According to that source, Fox is thinking about picking Cyber as the villain for "Wolverine 2." He's one of Wolverine's main enemies, and he also possesses almost all the same powers.

That said, rumor is that Liev Schreiber, who plays Sabretooth in the upcoming flick, may make an appearance in the sequel as well.

Additionally, CB's anonymous source also said Hugh Jackman may appear as Wolverine in the upcoming "X-Men: First Class," a potential new series of flicks with a focus on a bunch of younger mutants.

Before you get all excited about this, please remember this is just a rumor at this point. Anonymous sources never have a strong credibility, and while some of them may have successfully leaked information, you should still take all of it with a grain of salt.

On the other hand, we're talking about Fox here, which means chances are high some studio executives are indeed already planning a "Wolverine" sequel. At this point, I really don't care though. All I want is see Gavin Hood's first flick first.

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.
