And they’re not slowing down!
After talk about Bryan Singer‘s return to the franchise, producer Lauren Shuler-Donner gave some deets about the latest X Men spinoffs.
Here are some HIGHlights:

On Wolverine 2:
“It’s actually the story we wanted to use for the first Wolverine film, but Tom Rothman preferred to set the character up with an origin story first. What├óΓé¼Γäós cool about this part of the saga is that Wolverine will be fighting in a different style to what we├óΓé¼Γäóve seen before. Mariko├óΓé¼Γäós father has this stick-like weapon, so Wolverine will have to fight against that. There├óΓé¼Γäóll be samurai, ninja, katana blades, different forms of martial arts ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ mano-a-mano, extreme fighting.”
On X-Men: First Class:
“We want it to be like the recent, darker Potters. It should not be a kiddie movie: we├óΓé¼Γäóre in the X-Men world so you can├óΓé¼Γäót suddenly change the tone. The First Class comics are really fun ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ they├óΓé¼Γäóre funnier than any other comics I├óΓé¼Γäóve read. Basically in each one the kids are fighting strange villains, sometimes it├óΓé¼Γäós aliens, sometimes it├óΓé¼Γäós monsters. I want to get a flavour of that world.”
On Deadpool:
“I don├óΓé¼Γäót see it as a problem that Ryan [Reynolds] is also playing Green Lantern. I mean, look at Harrison Ford ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ he was in Stars Wars and Indiana Jones at the same time and everyone was fine with that. Green Lantern could not be more different to Wade Wilson. Green Lantern is a guy who finds a ring and is thrust into this world, much like Spider-Man. Wade Wilson is a bad ass, a wise-cracking mercenary, who will go out and kill anyone for money. But the thing about him is that, underneath it all, and he wouldn├óΓé¼Γäót want you to know this, sometimes he├óΓé¼Γäós not such a bad ass after all.”

Wowsa!
They find one good film and refuse to let up!
