Mark Millar Chats With Bryan Singer About X-Men, Hints At Big Announcement

Mark Millar and Bryan Singer had a good conversation today and shared the news with fans via Twitter. Of course, they didn't share exactly what they talked about, just that they talked. Singer got it started by tweeting, "Just had an amazingly lovely chat about the future with the talented @mrmarkmillar. Always a pleasure! #XMen." Mark Millar then returned the pleasantries by tweeting, "@BryanSinger Great to chat, fella, & more excited than ever about X-Men. Let's grab that booze when I'm out seeing Jim's Wolvie in Apr." Of course, this news got fans all stirred up, so Mark Millar followed it up by tweeting, "I can't reveal what Bryan Singer & I were chatting about, but as seen here it was all tremendously exciting!" along with a link to a more extensive post on his forum. Mark Millar wrote, "What an immensely nice dude that guy is! As a producer on Kick-Ass 2, I've not been in LA since Sept when Fox flew me out to sit with the insanely-clever writer Simon Kinberg and the Fox execs to chat X-men back when Matthew was still directing. But Kick-Ass 2 is pretty much done now and so my beady-eye can move back towards the Fox stuff again. There's a very exciting announcement you guys will hear about over the coming months (if not before), but the most immediate things the office is talking about are Days of Future Past and The Wolverine, both of which I'm absolutely aching to see. I saw the first 10 mins of Jim's Wolvie when I was out there last September. I'm out again next month and will have the pleasure of seeing a very near final cut too. Days of Future-Past is potentially the biggest and most ambitious superhero movie ever made. I've seen this coming together in various stages, but now they're only weeks away from shooting it's really catching fire. I'll catch Bry in person before he heads to Montreal next month when I'm seeing Wolvie and we can chat a little more about the Fox grand plan. A very, very exciting time to be into this stuff, especially when you consider that the brilliant Josh Trank has Fantastic Four lined up for 2015. You don't know how lucky you are - when I was a kid Nicholas Hammond was playing Spidey on a visible wire!!" So what is Mark Millar's big announcement? Well, considering that Fox already has films currently in development for their Marvel properties, it's doubtful (but still possible) that it's an announcement for another movie. Fox probably won't announce another sequel until they see how The Wolverine does in theaters this summer. So what could it be? We're betting that it's the giant Marvel Cinematic Universe that we've been hearing about. Yes, if Disney, Sony, and 20th Century Fox have agreed to let all their respective Marvel properties play in the same cinematic universe that would be pretty exciting news, wouldn't it?
