Simon Kinberg explains why Fantastic Four failed, but says there are big plans for the franchise
It was a story that dominated a lot of the summer last year: Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four, its troubled production and its failure at the box office. The director dismissed the movie shortly before its release and went radio silent shortly thereafter, but its producer – and one of the directors of the non-Trank reshoots – […]
X-Men: The real Apocalypse is its continuity!
Tony Black attempts to make sense of the continuity of the X-Men franchise… Have you ever attempted to make sense of the X-Men movie continuity?

The Martian author Andy Weir developing new project with Ridley Scott and Simon Kinberg
Variety is reporting that Andy Weir, author of The Martian, is developing a new project at 20th Century Fox, which will be produced by Ridley Scott and Simon Kinberg.

The next X-Men film will take place in the 1990s
If you’ve been following the X-Men film franchise over the last few years, you may have noticed a new trend: Decade-long time jumps between installments. 2011’s X-Men: First Class took place in the 1960s, its 2014 follow-up X-Men: Days of Future Past jumped 10 years into the 1970s, and this year’s X-Men: Apocalypse is jumping to the 1980s. According to producer Simon Kinberg, […]
Confirmed: Wolverine 3 will be rated R
Now that Deadpool has become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, and has even surpassed the domestic box office numbers of a film like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it’s hard to believe that it was ever considered a risky move for 20th Century Fox. That move has, obviously, payed off in spades (and continues to […]
Simon Kinberg says Wolverine 3 “takes place in the future”
With Hugh Jackman set to do the claws one final time for next year’s Wolverine 3, there’s been a lot of speculation – perhaps even bordering on expectation – that the film will adapt Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s acclaimed Old Man Logan comic book storyline. As yet, there’s been no official word from anyone involved […]
Simon Kinberg says X-Force could be R-rated
While, in theory, Fox giving Deadpool an R rating was a risky decision, considering how most R-rated comic book movies usually don’t do nearly as much business as their PG-13-rated competition (e.g. Watchmen, The Punisher), this past weekend Deadpool raked in a massive $132 million at the U.S. box office, proving that mainstream audiences don’t mind […]
Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer open to revisiting X-Men’s Dark Phoenix Saga
Among the numerous criticisms aimed at X-Men: The Last Stand was the film’s rather poor attempt at adapting the Dark Phoenix Saga storyline. Well, now that X-Men: Days of Future Past has erased that movie from the timeline, and X-Men: Apocalypse is reintroducing Jean Grey with Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, might we see […]
Simon Kinberg says X-Men: Apocalypse is “biggest X-Men film we’ve ever done”
It’s a big year for 20th Century Fox and its superhero movies. First up out of the gate is the R-rated Deadpool, followed by Bryan Singer’s latest X-Men adventure X-Men: Apocalypse – the first instalment in the “rebooted” timeline following the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past. During a fan Q&A, writer-producer Simon Kinberg […]
