In a recent interview with Collider,
X-Men: Days of Future Past screenwriter Simon Kinberg was asked if there was a
chance of bringing these characters to the small screen, the same way Marvel
has done with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or is going to do with Agent Carter, Daredevil,
Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.
“We’re
still in this place of figuring out what the future of the franchise will be,
but when you look at S.H.I.E.L.D. to some extent and what Marvel is doing now
with Daredevil and other shows on Netflix, it makes sense to tell some of these
stories in TV partly because there’s just not enough screens to do all these
characters, and also because the serialized format of comic books is better
suited for TV. Because that’s it, every week you come back to the same
characters different story, and in comic books every week it’s the same
characters, different story. I think what [Fox is] seeing now is with the
proliferation of new kinds of visual and special effects, there’s a way to make
these stories that doesn’t cost $300 million every time you have to make a huge
movie.”
And speaking of huge movies, one particular movie that
fans have been almost imploring for the studio to make the Rated-R Deadpool.
“Yeah, it makes sense to
me. Genuinely it’s early phases, early days, but if you’re gonna do a Deadpool
movie, I think you’ve gotta do a hard-R, darker movie and he is the perfect
character to do it with.”
Deadpool
aside, is tv the best way to introduce new characters and expand the X-Men
universe?
