So when the director says anything even remotely like he&#8217;s moving away from the series, ears start to perk up.<\/p>\n<p>Singer was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times and the subject of how long he will be doing X-Men films came up. This is what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The reality is, even though I\u2019m very desperate to jump to something completely different, I\u2019ve spent so many years in this universe and I love this cast and the characters so much, I just don&#8217;t see myself abandoning them forever. Perhaps as a consultant, as a producer, even as a director, I could see myself returning in the future. Just right now, once this one is done, I\u2019d like to do something really different.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Singer wanting to take a break from the X-director chair is understandable. But this doesn&#8217;t seem like he is walking away forever, if at all. He is directing <strong>20,000 Leagues Under the Sea<\/strong>, and there will be a number of X-films (<strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Wolverine 3, Deadpool 2, New Mutants, X-Force\u00a0<\/strong>and <strong>Gambit<\/strong>) to satisfy fans&#8217; X-desires for years to come. After that spate of films, Singer should have had a very long rest and be ready to go on the next X-film if he so chooses. But Fox will probably want another X-men film in there somewhere, and they might have to look elsewhere for a director.<\/p>\n<p>We shall wait and see if this ends up being a permanent break or just a few years off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">But will it be a permanent one, or just temporary?<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2016\/06\/01\/bryan-singer-talks-taking-break-x-men\/\" title=\"Bryan Singer Talks Taking A Break From The X-MEN\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"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":[106,84],"tags":[178,6886],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-38664","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-comicsandfilm","7":"category-news","8":"tag-bryan-singer","9":"tag-x-men-apocalypse"},"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\/38664","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\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38664"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=38664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
