Kinda surprised to see the main franchise movie getting bumped from the Memorial Day weekend. Looks like Fox is really going to try and capitalize on Deadpool's popularity. I also don't get why theyd release all 3 next year? I'd have pushed one into 2019.

Maybe it's contract or rights issues.

they were supposed to do three movies last year too
Deadpool, Apocalypse, and Channing Tatum as Gambit in a solo movie (that has disappeared)

Youd think theyd go the marvel route and shoot for two a year spread out, instead of 3 one year, then 1 the next, but as you said, maybe its a contract situation, or actor availability. Be interesting what they do with New Mutants, and when in the semi time line it falls.

Or trying to avoid the MAJOR marvel and star wars releases...

Depending on the characters that will be represented, I may get really excited about New Mutants.

i think you have to go with Xmen at their core and go along with the persecution complex that was at the heart of the xmen

they are hated and feared but despite that are willing to risk their very lives to help protect that very world that hates them. as cliche as it is you have to have the us vs the world mantra in the background. while they may save the planet people are always going to be leary of people born this way while giving people who acquire their powers by accident get a free pass

though i have read they are going for the dark phoenix saga for the next series i dont think you can do much with this story line involving earth unless they totally butcher the story

They were my favorite characters when I was reading comics. I like the characters on paper, and I like the stories and I like the central ideas. My issue is with the execution.

I would completely disagree that the persecution stuff is played out. I don't know if it's the casting, the bland color palette, the scripts, or what

I guess I'm talking more on a Macro Marvel level that everyone with super-powers is cool except Mutants is played out. It's a bore. The Fox Marvel-Verse only has the X-Men so it can still work as long as its done in an interesting manner like Legion.
