User blog:Johnnybravo44/X-MEN & FANTASTIC FOUR FILM OFFICIAL!!!

Looks like someone's trying to copy The Avengers recipe for success. As you may know by now, Twentieth Century Fox recently released a few set film dates for the next four years. They are as follows:




 * The Fantastic Four reboot will be released on June 19, 2015.
 * Perhaps my favorite of the bunch is X-Men: Apocalypse, set for May 27, 2016.
 * Hugh Jackman will return for another Wolverine solo film on March 3, 2017.
 * And a Fantastic Four sequel has already been announced as well for July 14, 2017.

Which left one date of July 30, 2018 otherwise unaccounted for.. until today, when Fox officially announced plans for an X-Men & Fantastic Four crossover film!!



So while it's been stated the FF films will be in the same universe as the X-Men films, it's only become clear today that we will see a crossover film of some sorts between the two teams on the big screen. Of course, it's currently unclear if the "original" X-cast will star or if the First Class cast will, but I'd bet on the latter because Jennifer Lawrence and the way DOFP looks for the original cast, even if we all want Wolverine in it. Right now, the main villain is unknown (if there even will be one) and the title of the film is still unknown, even though that should be pretty important. Really.. all we can rally behind as of right now is a name and date. Yeah, that's enough for me!

And yet, let's look at the facts here: with two completely new films of Fantastic Four to go, and three new X-Men films to go (counting Wolverine and DOFP), Fox has already announced a crossover film between the two film franchises. People.. can you say 'bold'? Right now, I'll mark it under the 'wait and see' folder, at least until the first FF film is out, let alone the second. I'll probably still see it no matter what because X-MEN & FANTASTIC FOUR. Let's be real.

Feel free to discuss your thoughts/opinions below! Or can find the official press release here. Or you can check out Fox's website here. Leave a comment below! See you next time!!
