For those of you who are unaware, Bryan Singer, the man directing Superman Returns, was the director of both of the recent X-Men films. He left X-Men to pursue the new Superman movie.
Bryan Singer is awesome. Question about him leaving the X-Men movies though, is he still going to do a third or aren't they doing one at all? If they do, better be by him or it won't be quite the same.
The third one will be directed by someone else entirely. IGN mentioned the name of the guy, and I honestly can't remember who it was. This new Superman movie is going to keep Singer tied up until 2006, and Marvel isn't going to wait for him.
There's a Wolverine spin-off in the works also, but it's being brought into question whether or not Hugh Jackman will play the lead role in it. Honestly, I can't see anyone else playing Logan. I'm not a huge X-Men fan, but if they brought someone else in, even I would be livid.
