Bet they thought the Foxverse XMen scene would tip it over the billion mark 😄


They way they were hinting at it in the final trailers, TV spots. and rumours on 'X' etc

But if The Flash bombed with Keaton Batman (in a major role) all bets are off!

'Nostalgia ain't what it used to be', as they say!

Indiana Jones , Keaton Batman, Mission Impossible. Foxverse Xmen,

Its like there's been a generational shift the past year ..the older gen who used to come out in force for this stuff finally gave up (just leaving the hard core fans), and the new gen are like 'who cares about this old stuff my dad liked'

reply

That probably gets closer to the heart of the matter than other more 'imaginative' explanations.

reply

After 8 years of being tricked by the ol' Hollywood bait and switch, fans finally smartened up.

Few years ago this wouldve cleared 1b based on rumours of that scene alone 😄

Ugh! I'd rather they reboot X-Men. The Fox movies screwed up Rogue, Cyclops, Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, and Juggernaut. Rather have a new take on the characters than never have those characters done justice.

reply

I wish they would close the book on the FoxVerse because there was too much focus on Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, and Mystique.

I didn't get the impression that Monica is in the FoxVerse anyway...yes it was Kelsey Grammer, but he didn't look like he did in X3. Also, where was Binary in any Fox X-Men movie?

reply

I don't even know who Binary is. Only read Uncanny X-Men comics up to 1984. And the original Age of Apocalypse but that's an alternate universe.
