It's been a while since we've heard anything from Bryan Singer or the X-Men franchise- the last big news we've reported on was when Singer teased the first page of the next "X-Men" film, "X-Men: Apocalypse."
But now the X-Men are back in the news again, thanks to Simon Kinberg, who is currrently writing the screenplay for "X-Men: Apocalypse." Kinberg sat down with Latino Review to divulge some new details about the latest X-Men film.
When asked about the Four Horsemen, comic book villains who obey the whim of the titular baddie Apocalypse, Kinberg had this to say:
"I can't tell you if you are right or wrong anyway. But, I will tell you this and obviously there are a lot of different versions of the Horseman over the books, and this will not reveal any of the identities so I apologize in advance. I will let you know that our choosing of the Horseman was something that we, Bryan and myself took very, very seriously and did only after an exhaustive review of all the different Horseman, both in the comics and the cartoons who have at one point or another fallen under APOCALYPSE. "
Kinberg was also asked about Hugh Jackman, and if Kinberg had any plans to retire the Wolverine character at some point.
"I don't personally have a contingency plan for him leaving the franchise because I can't imagine him leaving the franchise. I'm building these movies just as I assume I have Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy - I have Hugh Jackman as well. So until he literally calls me from the hospital and says 'I can't do it anymore' I will continue to put him in these movies."
It's also been speculated that Wolverine may become a villain in the next film, although Kinberg never brought the subject up in his interview.
