     Ok Ok we get it, who hate this incarnation of the Xmen because of Fox Studios, Singer, blah blah...

     If you could start it all over again  who would be your go to director for the franchise, etc other than Vaughn...?

**** idk. Ben Affleck?

 

[...So]

My point exactly...Quit *****ing

Tell them to make good movies. **** am I supposed to praise bad ***** for. Me not knowing who I'd want to be director has nothing to do with their output of mostly garbage films.

I'd love to see what Whedon could do with XMen. He has proven to be able to make good ensemble film and with Fox, he probably has more freedom to go any route he wants. Plus I liked his run with Astonishing (also means he is already very familiar with the source material) so if Whedon does leave Marvel, I'd snatch him up quick if I were Fox or WB.

 

[everysingletime]

Whedon has a soft spot for misfits of society and outsiders - misunderstood people. X-Men is more up his ally than Avengers. Avengers are the cool group of the comic book world and that's never been his forte.

He'd probably jump at the chance to do a whole other universe from scratch.

I can see him agreeing if Fox does a hard a enough run at him.

 

[tay1]

Whedon would be cool seeing how his strongest moments deal with dialogue and character moments, but he needs to step his action up. Or have help with it.

Whedon is more than likely never making another big scale studio film lol dude sounded miserable after AoU. Would much rather see him back in Television anyway

Still waiting on a Runaways show

True. I think dude cares more about autonomy and having creative lee-way than being another cog in a money making machine. More power to him though.

However, having said that - if Fox were to say, we'd give you the keys and just stay out of your way - you can blow up our whole universe from scratch - I think Whedon would want to scratch that itch.

Eff fox and their stupid timelines.

Timeline.

That's what I'm saying

it's First Class, the 1973 portion of DoFP, Apocalyspe, and Deadpool.

The franchise was hard rebooted and UOENO

Literally all of the old movies have been scrapped and designated a "Bad Future" just like DoFP in the comics. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadFuture

 

[Master Zik]

Fox needs people in charge who actually like comics, or don't do drugs.

Hate to say it but it looks like even DC has a better idea of how to handle their universe.

The whole point of doing these movies is not to feed your own twisted interpretation of the comics but to give the people what they want. Smh

From now on, I'm only watching Fox properties that are not touched by Singer. Fantastic Four is singer free so I think it's ok to watch that. Lol

I'm not watching that Apocalypse debacle. Why couldn't they just stick with Vaughn..

Peyton Reed Speaks Out on Why He Left the 2005 "Fantastic Four" Film


Before stepping in for Edgar Wright to direct "Ant-Man", Peyton Reed actually stepped away from a different Marvel property. Reed was attached to helm a "Fantastic Four" movie for 20th Century Fox in the early 2000s before abruptly exiting the project before it went to lens. Tim Story stepped in to bring the project to fruition, and even stayed around for its sequel.

Reed hadn't spoken much about why he and Fox parted ways, but he recently spoke to Yahoo Movies UK about what drove the falling out. “I was a huge Marvel fan when I was a kid and knew ‘Fantastic Four’ inside out and felt they were always the crown jewel of Marvel. So I went in and got [hired for] the movie and I developed it for the better part of a year with three different sets of writers. But it became clear after a while that Fox had a very different movie in mind and they were also chasing a release date… so we ended up parting company."

He went on to say that he felt that the studio's environment would have prevented him from making the type of film he wanted. “The environment at Fox in 2003 was very different to the environment at Marvel in 2015. Fox at that time had a very specific idea; they wanted to pitch it much younger than I wanted to and I always felt like they were treating those characters like b-level characters. I never felt like they understood the real strength of that property.”

“I actually feel like Joss Whedon’s first ‘Avengers’ did a lot of the same things that I would have liked to have done in ‘Fantastic Four’. These massive battles in the streets of Manhattan for example," he added.

So what does he think of Josh Trank's upcoming "Fantastic Four" feature? He said he's "psyched for Josh Trank's version," though admitted, "I know nothing about it but I know I really liked ‘Chronicle’ so I’m hopeful. I think there is a great ‘Fantastic Four’ movie yet to be made.”

Trank's "Fantastic Four" hits theaters July 30th, while "Ant-Man" is out now. If you haven't yet, make sure to read our own Kristy Puchko's review of Reed's film.

Vaughn was suppose to direct DoFP and wanted to but he wanted to the Kingsman more because it was getting other copy cat treatments from other studios and he wanted to get it out there before someone beats him. So he passed on DoFP.

“It started in a pub with Mark, and we were drunk,” Vaughn told us. “We sort of were complaining about how spy movies had become really quite serious. We said, ‘Let's do a fun [one].’ … Mark went off and wrote a version, and I read it. I was like, ‘F#@k, maybe we should do this for real.’ Then he went ahead, finished the comic off. Then I was working on Days of Future Past, and I'd finished the treatment. Then the [Kingsman] script fell out of me -- just one of those things. I remember Fox going, ‘What are you talking about?’ because the two scripts came in at the same time. I was like, ‘Aw, *****.’ It was a really tough decision whether to do Days of Future Past or do this. But then I was like, ‘F#@k, somebody else is going to wake up and do a fun spy movie. Then I will have written a bloody screenplay that no one will want to make.’ So I probably made the craziest decision of my life to turn down an $800 million gorilla to do Kingsman. But Kingsman's more me anyway.”

"I was worried with Kingsman that the fun spy movie seemed such an obvious thing in some way, and no one else was doing it. Now, we’ve got that spy movie with Melissa McCarthy as well as Man from UNCLE, but I didn’t know that at the time. I didn’t want to do Kingsman after the wave had already come because everything that was going to make it look fresh and original would look boring and predictable."

Sad cuz no other "fun" spy movie has come out since Kingsman Unless you count Spy.

Should've just done both. DofP first then Kingsman.

 
I mean they can still redeem themselves I guess and Apocalypse can even be better than DOFP, but they really dropped the ball with First Class.

     Ok Ok we get it, who hate this incarnation of the Xmen because of Fox Studios, Singer, blah blah...

     If you could start it all over again  who would be your go to director for the franchise, etc other than Vaughn...?

Starting over again from 2000? I'd give this franchise to John Woo or see if Michael Mann would do it. Maybe Paul Greengrass if he was open to it.

If we talking about a reboot starting after Age of Ooze I'd tap Gareth Evans to direct the X-franchise and hope for the best.

I liked 1st class. The whole alt history was appealing to me. And I felt like it was a reboot, just for singer to come in and **** it up. Tho I wish they casted cooler mutants.

Can't wait to see my fav Marvel character, and one of my fav women in the world play her.

Why would you want a bad actress to play your favorite character?

     Ok Ok we get it, who hate this incarnation of the Xmen because of Fox Studios, Singer, blah blah...

I know you wasnt talking to me but:

Joss Whedon
Ridley Scott (who was still good in 2000)
Guillermo del Toro

An X-Men CU with Whedon as their Feige, del Toro as their Whedon, and with Ridley Scott doing X-Force

Whedon is more than likely never making another big scale studio film lol dude sounded miserable after AoU. Would much rather see him back in Television anyway

Still waiting on a Runaways show

If he goes back to TV he aint going back to Marvel

@sunshineblo
Some actress and actors get better thro u gh their career so i have hope for her. *cough channing tatum, i still hate him though cough**

Besides doubtful shell have a crap ton of scenes i just want to visually see her.

Plus their arent a slew of Asian actress out there that would fit her stature and look quite like olivia .


I love that cosplayer who goes to cons as her (cant remember her name). But thats not how i ever pictured psylocke in the movie world

I wouldve preferred an unknown. There def aint a shortage of people trying to break through in hollywood.

 hmm...interesting choice

I know many think he's fallen off now or no longer has the best track record but I'm thinking 15 years ago Mann. In 2000, nobody would've hated the choice but probably liked it.

Thing is with picking a director for this stuff is you don't know at all if they like comics and superheroes. A lot of these guys doing it now grew up with it and like it so better or for worse at least it wasn't just another job.

I mean if I could really pick anybody I'd give Spielberg a go for a comic franchise too given he's like the gold standard of directors when it comes to making good movies.

I thought about Scott but went against it. Son probably would had the X-Men's first villain be the Shadow King (Del Toro would make them face the Brood ). Him doing X-Force would've been cool to see though.

He was still good then though. Plus with all these guys we're naming at best they stay on for a trilogy.

Back in 2000 it would've been a huge risk to tap Whedon to be your visionary man with the plan Feige type. I mean it's 2015 and there's still nobody else with a plan like Feige Sony opted to give Feige Spidey instead of finding their own guy to right the ship.

I wouldve preferred an unknown. There def aint a shortage of people trying to break through in hollywood.

I don't follow her that well. Just look at her naked pics and enjoyed her on that HBO show but I'm hearing from a lot of ppl in here she's a fake geek/nerd comic/video game fan and is only doing it for the fame and money as opposed to some actors who genuinely like it and grew up with it.

Don't know or care if it's true though.

**** this movie

**** dogs too.
