After directing three X-Men movies and producing four, X-Men: Apocalypse and Wolverine 3 could mark the end of Bryan Singer’s X-Men universe. The news comes from El Mayimbe who posted the following on Instagram:

#RUMOR I’m being told that X-MEN: APOCALYPSE & WOLVERINE 3 will mark the end of the Bryan Singer X-MEN universe he started back in 2000. Makes sense since Hugh Jackman also said Wolverine 3 will be his last film playing Logan. The end of an era.

Does that mean it’s the end of Singer’s involvement in the film franchise or will Fox do a complete overhaul after those two films? We can’t be sure unless El Mayimbe clarifies, but it seems far more likely that it’s just that Singer is out, especially after the studio just recruited a whole batch of up-and-comers to play young versions of some very familiar mutants.


We know that The Wolverine 3 will mark Hugh Jackman’s last go as Logan and it’s also highly unlikely that Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender will return, but if Apocalypse does well, why not let folks like Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler) and Ben Hardy (Angel) take over? I’d like to bet they’ve got them all signed for multiple films anyway.


Hopefully we’ll get a little more clarification from Singer himself soon, but, in the meantime, what do you think? Would you like to see a soft reboot of sorts with the newer cast members?

There’s a lot going on in Suicide Squad. We’ve got Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jared Leto as The Joker, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, but then there’s also a report that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has joined the cast as Killer Croc, Jackie Earle Haley is being considered for The Thinker and apparently Scott Eastwood and Raymond Olubowale are in the mix as well. Is there room for one more? Perhaps Jason Todd?

RT! #DC #RUMOR #BatmanvSupermanDawnofJustice Jason Todd's uniform is in a display case inside the Batcave! In fact, The Joker & Harley Quinn are estranged in SUICIDE SQUAD because she feels guilt over the death of Todd. I'm also told that the RED HOOD is now a priority character for DC. One more thing, John Wick directors Chad Stahelski & David Leith being courted to direct DC film! #dccu #dcmovie #batmanvsuperman #suicidesquad #skwad #dccomics #TheJoker #harleyquinn #jasontodd #redhood #ChadStahelski #DavidLeitch

For those of you who don’t know much about Jason Todd, a little Googling reveals that he was the second character to become Batman’s sidekick. He was killed off back in 1988, but the 2005 Under the Hood story arc brought him back as the antihero Red Hood.



Buried in that post, El Mayimbe notes, “I’m also told that the RED HOOD is now a priority character for DC,” so perhaps DC and Warner Bros. are looking to use Suicide Squad as a stepping stone towards a solo Red Hood movie. They’ve already got their hands pretty full with a 10-film slate, but why not add another? Plus, if Suicide Squad hits it big, there’s no doubt they’ll want to be ready to milk the villain/antihero angle for all its worth, especially considering Marvel hasn’t given that kind of film a shot (yet).
