Fox is busy trying to expand the X-Men universe. They’ve already has success with stand-alone films featuring Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and First Class took us back into mutant past.
There’s also been talk of X-Men Origins: Magneto, which never came off, as well as a Deadpool film. Now new reports suggest that not only is Deadpool still in the works, but X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner says in EW that she has her eye on a Mystique film, with the hope that Jennifer Lawrence will star in her own spin-off adventure.
She says, “There was a regime [at the studio] that didn’t see the worth in [spin-offs], and the current people who run Fox understand, embrace it, and we’re going to do right by it. I’d like to do Gambit. I’d like to do Deadpool. We’ll see. There’s a lot of really great characters.”
However things are obviously at a very early stage, and it’s difficult to know when a spin-off would come (or if Jennifer Lawrence would agree to star), especially as X-Men: Apocalypse is already in the works for 2016 and a third Wolverine should be out the following year.
How soon will a spin-off happen? That’s hard to tell at this point, with director Bryan Singer already in pre-production on the next franchise sequel X-Men: Apocalypse, which will hit theaters two years from now in 2016.
Producer/writer Simon Kinberg adds his thoughts to the possibilities of the future, saying, “I love what Jennifer Lawrence has done with her, and I feel like because she is in such a crowded ensemble, there’s so much more opportunity if you were to follow her solo.”
As for Deadpool, Director Tim Miller suggests the only holdback now is a greenlight from Fox. “We will never give up!” he says, “Deadpool is still alive and we’re just waiting for the studio to embrace what an amazingly f***ing awesome film this would be. Ryan [Reynolds] is ready, I am ready, the fans are more than ready, we just need that elusive green light.”

Disney has confirmed that some shooting on Star Wars Episode VII has started and casting is almost complete, but we still have little official info on who will be playing new characters in the movie. The latest speculation surrounds little-known British actress Maisie Richardson-Sellers.
Mark Rylance is undoubtedly considered one of the best stage actors currently working in Britain, winning Oliviers, Tonys and a BAFTA TV award. However he hasn’t been seen in that many movies considering his stature, and there have been even fewer big Hollywood movies.
About a year ago, Cabin In The Woods’ helmer Drew Goddard attached himself to direct The Martian. However in recent months he’s become very busy agreeing to direct the pilot episode of Netflix’s Daredevil series, and signing up to be at the reigns for Spider-man spin-off Sinister Six.
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes has gotten slightly lost in the mix of big summer movies, but the same was true of the first film, which surprised many when despite relatively little buzz became a big hit.
Fresh from her Oscar win, Cate Blanchett is lining up some new movies, with the latest one she’s in talks for sounding like it could be pretty interesting.
