[Obsession of the Week] X-Men

I've always loved X-Men! The movies have all been brilliant, I used to love the animated series of television and the comics (whenever I get them) were awesome! LOVE X-Men! This post is mainly spurred by my discovery that it is likely many more X-Men Origin movies are in the making, so I'll let you know which ones cause I'm bored.

Firstly, X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 hasn't begun filming yet, but it will be set in Japan which was hinted at the end of the first Wolverine Origin movie.

Secondly X-Men Origins: Magneto is going to be made, Magneto has an awesome and powerful back story as he was in a Nazi Concentration Camp and then managed to escape with the help of Xavier and then later comes back seeking revenge. It would just make an awesome movie!

X-Men Origins: First Class will follow (according to Wikipedia) the young Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Storm, and others who attended Xavier's school with them. Lots of these characters have interesting background stories, I quite like Kitty's story so I hope this is unveiled in movie format.

Finally, a movie for the character 'Deadpool' is in the works. I don't think it's confirmed if this movie will be part of the X-Men Origins series or as a stand-alone superhero movie. Eitherway this movie will be good if made as the character is known for communicating with the audience (breaking the fourth wall as Mrs Tait would say, and anyone else Drama inclined I guess) and being pretty funny.


So... yes... X-Men FTW!
