Whats next for x-men?
Ok so I have seen the 3 x men films and I have just watched the origins prequel one.
Not seen the wolverine one though, how does that one relate to the other films ?
Does anyone know what film is coming next, is it one set it present day, or a continuation of the prequel ?

loved it!!
We have 2 xmen films on the way, The Wolverine a sequel to Wolverine, will be set after xmen3.
And a new film being made now, Xmen: Days of the future
Past - and will feature both casts of the older xmen films and the younger xmen First Class, and involve time travel or something.
Wolverine from 2008 is alright. It's about his past and how he got all that metal in him. Features the flashbacks from Xmen2 !!
i thought it was a prequel? i might have to watch it again
Er........First Class is a prequel, there's no mish-mash going on.
some of the established continuity is thrown aside in favour of plot points in First Class - particularly Magneto and Xander having their fall out at the end of the movie and Xander becoming paralised also - doesn't match what we saw at the beginning of Xmen3 in the flashback sequence, for instance. And I can even think of Cerebro being mentioned in Xmen1 as being built by Xander and Magneto when they where pals - but in First Class - The Beast built it - well, a prototype version. Just to name a few points. Minor points as they are, they don't let the movies match up. There are loads of others as well.
Xavier / Magneto, Hank (Beast), Cerebro, Moira...
Some have classed it as a prequel, others a reboot.
I think it's a reboot, but one that happens to be set before the previous films so also acts as a prequel.
January Jones was the pits. She thought she was still playing Betty Draper.
xander??? he was in buffy the vamire slayer. its xavier.
haha!c so he is. my bad
no way, im super excited for it.
And hopefully in that timeline or whatever they decide to do Rogue can actually fly.
My hope is that Gambit will be in one of the new movies some day.
Actually Bryan Singer has said he's treating all previous X-Men films as part of the same continuity
Okay- so we see Xavier shot and in a wheel chair at the end, but that doesn't mean he is permanently paralysed...
And we see Eric and Charles split ways at the end of First Class - maybe they become buddies again later down the line before having another major disagreement later on???!!! With theories like that - First Class and the earlier trilogy can interweave better.
Much as I enjoyed First Class, I was really annoyed by the direction they took it in the final 20-30 minutes, totally threw away what would have been a cool concept to carry across a trilogy.
Consequently, I'm a little wary of the next film, though go in hoping the best of course....
I'm confused by the "direction" you refer to. It had your standard action climax - I don't recall a change in direction.
I mean in terms of the direction the plot took - i.e by the end of the film we all of a sudden have charles in a wheelchair and him and erik adversaries. It felt far to rushed and would have been far more interesting if the fragmentation of their friendship was something that had been played out over three films. Instead by the end of film one, besides them being young men, they are in pretty much the same place they are when we met them in the first x men film.
Hmmmm I hadn't thought of it like that, can see your point.....but it's still a great film
