Lauren Shuler Donner on the future of the X-Men Franchise


Here are the points she made with empire:




Wolverine 2
1.] Furthest along of all the X-Men projects on the boil.
2.] Japan's story would have been the story in Wolverine 1 but Tom Rothman insisted on an Origin tale
3.] The Japan story will focus on Wolverine and Mariko, and will deeply pattern the Claremont and Miller arc.
4.] Scriptwriter Chris McQuarrie(Valkyrie, Usual Suspects) is tightening the story.
5.] Shooting will be in Japan for authenticity
6.] Wolverine will be fighting with a different style -it will be AWESOME!

X-MEN: First Class
1.] Darker Potter-esque like film but still fun
2.] Josh Schwartz, the screen writer, has a great young pulse and doing an amazing job in bringing the characters to life.
3.]We want to make this a franchise, so casting the child actors will be all-important.

Deadpool
1.] Ignore version in Wolverine
2.] Let Wade talk because to muzzle him would be insane
3.] No problem on Reynolds playing GL and Deadpool, because they are different characters.
4.] Deadpool will be a dark, snarky and very funny movie.
5.] Hardest story to tell because there's no clear cut villain
6.] Talking to writers and hopefully by November they will find one.
7.] Fourth wall talking, depends upon Fox if they will agree.

Magneto
1.] David Goyer made a brilliant script
2.] Starts in the concentration camp
3.] Magneto is at the back of the queue - maybe it'll get made in 5 years
4.] Ian Mckellen won't be playing the character the whole way thorugh.
5.] Finding a younger actor to fill Ian's shoes is pretty daunting.
