Simon Kinberg, the director of X-Men: Dark Phoenix and long-running writer and producer on the Fox franchise, says he would be interested in making an X-Men movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While X-Men: Dark Phoenix wasn’t exactly a success with fans or critics, it’s director Simon Kinberg – a long time producer in the X-Men franchise – isn’t ruling out a return.
Now that the X-Men will be a part of the MCU going forward, Kinberg revealed to IGN that due to his long career with these characters he would be interested in working with Marvel:
“I’ve dedicated a lot of my life to Logan and Deadpool and the X-Men and would love to do a fresh take.”
Kinberg is a fan of the MCU and is particularly praiseful of Avengers: Endgame: “I love Endgame, it’s one of my favorite comic book movies of all time. The MCU’s tone in general is a bit more playful than our movies. We went more operatic, dramatic.”
