A Magneto solo movie doesn’t just sound cool from a thematic and character standpoint, but was actually once in the early stages of development.
That movie’s breakout success, along with the acclaim for last year’s Logan, seems to have emboldened the studio to explore even more avenues.
Fox (and even Disney) will likely take some time before recasting Wolverine, but there’s no need with Keen as X-23.
Fox now has a number of X-Men films in the works, including solo films for Gambit, a Multiple Man movie starring James Franco, and the continuation of the Deadpool franchise later this year.
