\"BryanEven though X-Men: Apocalypse <\/strong>has received the best reviews, fans know what happens when Bryan Singer leaves the X-franchise. So when the director says anything even remotely like he’s moving away from the series, ears start to perk up.<\/p>\n

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

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’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

Singer wanting to take a break from the X-director chair is understandable. But this doesn’t seem like he is walking away forever, if at all. He is directing 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea<\/strong>, and there will be a number of X-films (The<\/strong> Wolverine 3, Deadpool 2, New Mutants, X-Force\u00a0<\/strong>and Gambit<\/strong>) to satisfy fans’ 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

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":"

But will it be a permanent one, or just temporary?<\/div>\n
