Despite the stupid title "X-Men: The Last Stand", Fox Head Tom Rothman has all but confirmed that there will indeed be an X-Men 4, and probably more after that as well. Now it's all well and good for him to say that now... but if X-Men 3 is a bomb (which we all know it won't be... even if it sucks) then those words will be quickly eaten.

So why the title "The Last Stand" then? Well, according to the good folks over at Movie Hole, Rothman offers the following explanation:

?It's the conclusion of this trilogy. These three movies work as a trilogy. These characters in this relationship, it's the culmination of that saga. It's the culmination and the resolution of those relationships laid out in the first two movies. That doesn't mean never, I would ever say never again, but I will say that this brings that saga to an end. It's quite the way the last Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, brought that trilogy to a conclusion in terms of those characters, that's what this movie does. It goes all the way back to the first one and rounds off and completes that three-part story?.
Perhaps someone should tell Rothman that the end of the Lord of the Rings was indeed actually the end of the whole series. He might have missed that part.

So all this talk of "this is the end of THIS saga". This particular story line in X-Men is indeed finished... but there are more to come. Heck... the Wolverine spinoff is basically going to be X-Men 4 with a new title. Make no mistake... there will be MANY more X-Movies.

I personally still have major reservations about the next X-Men film... but my hope has risen over the last month. Let's hope it works out. Thus far the X-Men have been my favorite comic film franchise (yes, even more than Spider-Man) and I'd hate to see it go down the toilet.

If Kitty Pryde and Rogue get into a hot and sticky wet t-shirt pillow fight that devolves into a hot, sticky lesbian love scene, I'll go see it. Either that or they better blow up a lot of stuff.

X-Men 3 (aka The Wolverine Show) was a bomb.
Like many conventional bombs, this one cost a lot of money.

The next one could be called
'X-Men 4: You Fell For It Last Time So We're Trying Again'.

I really like X3. There's just no pleasing comic fans. It made tons of money, so, neener. lol

Hmmm.. Shade, you need to draw this.

Other than the wet t-shirt pillow fight, which I really like, why are we talking about this?
