FOX may be working on another superhero television series besides “Gotham.” Bleeding Cool reports sources claim FOX is currently developing a live-action “X-Men” show, but little information is known about the rumored series.
“No details whatsoever. And right now, no way of getting any. Hopefully, as a result of this article, someone like Deadline will do the heavy lifting,” according to Bleeding Cool. “Or maybe someone will mention it at NYCC? We’ll keep our ears open.”
It’s unclear if “X-Men” producer/writer Simon Kinberg would be involved in the TV series, but he is busy working on “X-Men: Apocalypse.”
During an interview with Collider, Kinberg spoke about the plot line for the next “X-Men” installment. The writer admitted “Apocalypse” will be the end of the “First Class” trilogy, but not necessarily the final chapter for fan-favorite mutants.
“I will say that ["X-Men: Apocalypse"] is definitely the close of a trilogy for those First Class characters, which isn’t to say we won’t see them in future movies, hopefully we will, but it’s a completion of an arc for them,” Kinberg said.
“I think that the friendship between Erik and Charles, which has always been so integral to the franchise, is something we’re continuing to explore and hopefully deepen with Apocalypse. And the relationship between Beast and Mystique is a really interesting one that we didn’t have a lot of time to explore in Days of Future Past, so we’ll have an opportunity to do more of that in Apocalypse.”
“X-Men: Apocalypse” is scheduled to hit theaters on May 18, 2016.
