X-men, Spin-off | featured news

Twentieth Century Fox's prequel X-Men: First Class grossed $21 million in its Friday debut at the domestic box office, and is on track to meet expectations and earn $55 million for the weekend.

Visual effects guru Tim Miller has been hired to direct "X-Men Origins: Deadpool," which could film sooner than expected thanks to Darren Aronofsky's recent departure from "The Wolverine."

"X-Men" franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner tells Slashfilm that there was no truth to a claim (later recinded) by actor Tim Pocock on this Twitter account the other week that the "X-Men: First Class" film was moving forward shortly.

Given the keys to the on-screen version of Marvel's Deadpool character at long last, Ryan Reynolds is all kinds of excited about steering his "Wolverine" spinoff into theaters -- and making it "as close to the source material as possible."

"X-Men" franchise producer Lauren Shuler Donner talked about possible spin-off X-Men: First Class on Fox Movie Channel's "Life after Film School."

Josh Schwartz gave an update on the superhero spin-off X-Men: First Class at NYCC this week to MTV News.
