The reason why the "X-Men" trilogy ended is that the big names are getting more and more valuable, and everyone is desperately asking for more scenes. No matter who the producer or director is, His ability finally gave out. Since the "Chronicle" could not be filmed, the 20th Century Fox camp naturally thought of the "Chronicle" and decided to let the main protagonists fight individually in batches. Firstly, the "little "X-Men"" and "Fantastic Four" have already taken over, and there are successors in terms of gang fights. Secondly, the old fox who would like to make 100 "Star Wars" movies would also be reluctant to part with the golden title of "X-Men" Shop sign. Although I would rather see "X-Men: Magneto" (the project has been officially approved), "Wolverine" is the undisputed male lead in both the original work and the movie trilogy. It can be said that he is still invited to take charge. The safest "derivative".
