It appears 20th Century Fox doesn’t see much difference between “Wolverine” and the rest of the X-Men franchise when it comes to sequels.

“The next film in the X-Men series will be ‘Wolverine,’” said Rothman in an interview. “We fully intend to continue to make more ‘X-Men’ films with both old and new muties, so fans can rest assured they will have many opportunities in the coming years to see their favorite characters on the big screen.”

Ashmore sings a different song. “There are rumors about an ‘X-Men 4,’ but as far as I’ve been told, ‘X3’ was going to be the last big ensemble ‘X-Men’ movie. I would love if they made another one, but I’m not sure they will.”

The Associated Press has published a new article talking about movie sequels. Here are some interesting quotes on Transformers, X-Men and Fantastic Four sequels/spinoffs:

“Transformers,” which was based on the `80s toys and animated TV show, has grossed over $223 million in two weeks and seems destined for at least one sequel. Martin Levy, a marketing executive at Dreamworks (which co-produced the movie with Paramount), says: “It’s a very logical thing to think that we can look forward to another one.”

Feige says another “X-Men” film is possible and that spin-offs for Wolverine and Magneto are in the works. A third “Fantastic Four” following this summer’s “Rise of the Silver Surfer” edition is also possible, and Feige says a Silver Surfer stand-alone script has been “moved to the forefront” of discussions.
