20th Century Fox are desperate. They have had a disappointing summer with films like Meet Dave, The Rocker, Babylon AD and The X-Files: I Want To Believe all bombing at the box office. So now they are seeing what they can milk out of existing comic book franchises. Are films like Young X-Men, Deadpool and a Daredevil reboot the answer. Survey says... In a recent Variety article about Fox's plans for the next few years, it was revealed that X-Men spinoffs, including a young-X-Men project as well as a Deadpool film (the character will appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine played by Ryan Reynolds) were on the table. Also the studio is considering "reviving" the Daredevil property.
Now, I'm not sure if "reviving" means rebooting it Hulk style or making a sequel but I actually really liked Daredevil and I think a reboot would be pointless. As for a Deadpool film, most knew that would be on the cards once it was announced Ryan Reynolds would be playing him and it could be kind of cool depending on how they do the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. A young-X-Men film, could be good and will now doubt include X-23 with a cameo from Wolverine (because we have to have Wolverine in everything).
So does any of these plans excite you or piss you off? Did you like Daredevil or do you think a reboot is a good idea?
