User blog:Johnnybravo44/X-MEN MOVIES CANCELLED!



Wow, ok I know I haven't posted in a while but this story was big - so let's start with some quick backstory first. Obviously you know by now that Disney is in the process of acquiring Fox. Well of course Fox owns the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Deadpool film rights so this sounds good. However, Fox was already in the process of two films: The New Mutants and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. And I'm not sure if you noticed or not.. but their release dates keep changing. The New Mutants has moved from April 13, 2018 (side note: this film should be out in 12 days. should be) to February 22, 2019 to August 2, 2019. X-Men: Dark Phoenix has moved from November 2, 2018 to February 14, 2019. No shift there was looking good but now this..



That's right, Disney officially announced today that the current plans for any and all X-Men or X-related films will be cancelled for the future. The reasoning behind this is currently unclear but likely linked to the pushed back release dates. Deadpool 2, however, is not linked in this deal and will still be released. Deadpool is interestingly enough in his own film contract and not X-Men related at all. While yes, Disney will still own his film rights, they do not yet.
