It does indicate that the studio is committed to expanding more into the superhero genre beyond their <strong>X-Men<\/strong> films. The question still remains as to whether that commitment for increased market share will override making sure that these films are actually any good.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that there will be numerous theories as to what 2018&#8217;s mystery Marvel could be. One possibility is that it could be the film that crosses over the <strong>Fantastic Four<\/strong> and <strong>X-Men<\/strong> franchises, creating their own linked cinematic world as has been hinted previously that Fox is interested in doing. Another possibility is that this could be another X-Men franchise spinoff. An adaptation of the X-Men comic <em>X-Force<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/07\/12\/are-more-mutant-movies-in-the-works-from-fox\/\" target=\"_blank\">has been mooted<\/a> as being in development at the studio.<\/p>\n<p>What really stands out for me, though, is that untitled Ridley Scott project set for March 4, 2016. Despite mixed reviews, there has been talk of doing a follow up to 2012&#8217;s <strong>Alien<\/strong> franchise prequel <strong>Prometheus<\/strong>. Scott himself stated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/10\/28\/ridley-scott-has-the-prometheus-2-screenplay-writte-plenty-of-other-science-fiction-films-in-development\/\" target=\"_blank\">last October<\/a> that a screenplay for <strong>Prometheus 2<\/strong> had already been written. But the director does have a couple of other projects in the pipeline, including adaptations of Joe Haldeman classic science-fiction novel <em>The Forever War<\/em> and the comic book <em>MIND MGMT<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Via The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/fox-sets-dates-wolverine-fantastic-690143\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">What does the studio have in studio for the next couple of years?<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2014\/03\/21\/fox-announces-dates-for-wolverine-fantastic-four-sequels-mystery-marvel-and-ridley-scott-projects\/\" title=\"Fox Announces Dates For WOLVERINE, FANTASTIC FOUR Sequels, Mystery Marvel And Ridley Scott Projects\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32991,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[7183,416,7182],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-32989","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-fantastic-four-2","9":"tag-ridley-scott","10":"tag-the-wolverine-2"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32989"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=32989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
