\"BryanSinger\"<\/a>Bryan Singer has just directed the incredibly successful X-Men: Days of Future Past<\/strong>, a film that has returned to franchise to greatness, not only in terms of grosses but also reviews.<\/p>\n

Bryan Singer is also the focus of a scandalous lawsuit where he is accused of coercing a male minor into have sex with him using his Hollywood connections vis a vis the victim’s desire to become an actor as leverage.<\/p>\n

The former should lock Singer in as director of X-Films for the rest of his life if he so chooses. The latter should have him dropped as a hot potato for any future, big budget project. The question became, which direction world Fox go?<\/p>\n

A new rumor has it that Fox is choosing option number two.<\/p>\n

Radar Online<\/a> is reporting that the studio wants Singer to step down from directing X-Men Apocalype<\/strong> because of his impending court case. The reason Radar gives isn’t necessarily because the studio thinks Singer is guilty or the nature of the crime he is accused of.\u00a0 The reason sources gave Radar is that the court case might cause costly delays during production of the film as Singer would have to take time off to defend himself from the charges. And it is believed that Singer would do just that because there is evidence that he might have been shooting the first X-Men <\/strong>film at the time the alleged abuses took place.<\/p>\n

Fox appears to want Singer to step down willingly, offering him the chance to handpick his successor and stay on as a producer, but all attempts at negotiating a graceful exit for Singer has not been well received by the director.<\/p>\n

This is a messy situation and if these rumors are true it’s bound to get a whole lot messier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The director’s potential court case could be the cause, but not for the reason you’d expect. <\/div>\n
